wikiHow to Use Windows Movie Maker
Have you ever tried to make a movie using this program but you just couldn't figure it out? Here's the magic of the Windows Movie Maker. You'll be able to create the movie that you've wanted to make.
1Open your file or movie
2Click "Import video"; it will take a few moments to import, depending on the file size and how long that clip is.
3Click and drag the different sets of clips you've shot down to the Storyboard, which is located at the bottom of the window.
4Add video effects. Click "Video Effects" on the left side of the window. Drag what effect you want and put it the star in the corner of the Clip.
5Add transitions. Select the "View Video Transitions" from the left panel. Drag them down to the "Storyboard", but put them in the middle box. You can view the transitions by clicking on them and watching them on the screen to the left.
6Add music or cut short the clips by clicking the "Timeline" also at the bottom of the screen.
7When you want to cut some time from the Clip, click the half triangle at the side of the clip, and then you can move how long you want the scene.
8Mute the camera if you're going to make a music video; you don't want anyone to hear that part, just the music. Then, go to "Import Audio or Music" select a song. Then drag it down to the "TimeLine" You can also cut time or make a short sound from clicking the triangle and dragging to make it as long as you want, you can have just one word, chorus or just the whole song.
9Add title or credits by clicking on the appropriate link on the left panel. To add credits, there is a big empty bar on the form; you should put either the title of the movie, or credits. The left side of the form should go positions, like Director, or Producer, or the character. Then, the right side, will be the names of the people that play or direct in their position.
10Click the view "timeline" and you should see the time line with the song, the title, the clips, and the effects and transitions. Then, you can view the movie that you have created by pressing play on the left panel with the screen.
11If you are satisfied, click "Save to my computer" or if you have a CD/DVD you could also save it to that, and it should again, take a few moments to save, then you are done with your movie.
Community Q&A
How can I remove Movie Maker from Windows 8?wikiHow ContributorGo to your apps, right click it, and remove/delete.
What if my computer or device does not have enough memory to save the movie?wikiHow ContributorTry emptying the recycle bin or getting rid of files you don't need. Using an external drive works for emptying files out of your computer while preserving them at the same time.
How long does it take to make a movie?wikiHow ContributorMovie makers are slow. Fet all the videos, and put them together, and when you save it might take a few hours for it to complete and it will be larger size (for example a normal two hour movie might be 2GB, but a two hour movie maker movie might be 10GB).
How long of a movie will Movie Maker make?wikiHow ContributorThe Movie Maker can make a movie as long as you want it to be. Though beware, the longer and more complicated the film, the more likely the program is to crash or stop functioning. The longer you make your film, the more often you should back-up the project.
How do I download Windows Movie Maker?wikiHow ContributorDo a search for "download windows movie maker" on Google; the top two links will take you to pages with the download. Make sure that you have the necessary system requirements and be sure to follow all of the prompts.

Q: Will you still have to pay the outstanding debt owed to a failed bank?
A: Yes. However, you'll pay someone else and perhaps on different terms.
Q: Is there a chance your interest rate could suddenly jump?
A: Yes.
Q: Is it likely?
A: No.
"Term changes are the main thing cardholders of failed banks need to watch for," notes Ben Woolsey, Director of Marketing and Consumer Research for CreditCards.com. "Additionally, those who use credit cards to access home equity lines of credit (HELOC) should pay particular attention to what's happening with a failed bank."
How can you best protect yourself as a cardholder should your bank fail?
• Monitor your mail: Read all mail from your credit card issuer – at least until the dust settles. That's where you'll be notified of any changes. This notice will typically give you the option of "opting-out" – or rejecting the new terms – which you generally must do in writing and within a defined time frame.
• Think twice before opting out: If you decide to refuse the new terms offered by the new account owner, there's a very good chance that they will close your account to new charges, allowing you to repay any remaining balance on the original terms. This can potentially harm your credit.
• Dial for information: If you have questions, call the customer service number listed on the back of your card, not the local branch of the now-defunct bank.
• Use it or lose it: Continue to use your existing cards as you would, should your bank be acquired. Inactivity can potentially trigger account closures by acquiring banks looking to trim operating costs. Acquiring banks normally reissue new credit and debit cards with their brand down the road, but will typically go to great lengths to ensure a seamless customer experience, often retaining the same account numbers when possible.
• Pay your bills: Continue to make those credit card (and loan) payments. There's a good chance the payment address will change. So, never use old envelopes or statement addresses.
• Don't fear modest levels of debt: As unlikely as it may seem, carrying a manageable balance over time can potentially be seen as a positive by acquiring banks. Be sure to continue to demonstrate the ability to pay on time, pay more than the minimum due and avoid using too much of your available credit. Banks actually prefer "revolvers," people who carry a balance, because they contribute the lion's share of revenue in the form of interest charges and lucrative penalty fees.
• Minimize your risk: Consider carrying cards from more than one bank. If your bank fails, your account can be closed to new charges. Don't put all your eggs in one basket: have at least one other card as a backup.
"As a cardholder, be aware of bank changes that might affect you," advises Woolsey. "Don't panic. Even if your bank is acquired, the acquirer will most likely do its due diligence to honor the contracts made by the failed bank."

Getting ready for your child to go back to school can sometimes be a battle. Switching from a summer routine into a school schedule can often lead to angry children who will resist getting of bed or doing homework. Without a doubt, the start of school is a huge headache for many parents. Why is it so hard for some kids to make the transition every time?
Kids have the summer to sleep in and do as they please with few responsibilities, so it can come as a shock when they finally have to get up early, follow a daily schedule and meet the expectations of teachers. Without structure at home, both you and your child will find the new school year full of frustration.
Here are some tips you can use to establish a healthy structure:
- Talk to your child about they can expect. Communicate any changes clearly so they know exactly what's going to happen and what needs to happen. For instance, if you expect him to be up by 7 am or that all of his homework must be completed on time to help his grades, let him know. That way, everyone is on the same page about what each day looks like. Be sure to listen to your child if he has questions or concerns. Try to stay positive and be hopeful, but remain realistic.
- Focus on the most important problems.Maybe you have a laundry list of issues to fix; don't try to tackle them all at once. Instead, pick out the ones that are the most important and try to work out a solution one by one. For example, if last year your child struggled to finish his homework each day, come up with a plan to help him be more successful this year. It could involve making time to sit and work on homework together, or maybe enrolling your child in an after-school study group. Talk to your child and let him know you're on his side and are there to help. One example would be to say, "I know you don't like math and had a hard time with it last year. Why don't we sit down each day after dinner and work on problems together?" If they were successful with something last year, remind your child of how well they did and build on that. For instance, you could say, "I was really impressed when you wrote down every homework assignment in your notebook so you could keep track. That really helped you get your work in on time. Let's try that again this year."
- Create a support system. Find people who can help you maintain structure and help prevent you or your child from feeling overwhelmed. It could be a teacher, guidance counselor, tutor or anyone who knows your child and can guide them academically, socially or behaviorally. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Just because the last school year was tough doesn't mean that this one has to be.
Remember that it takes effort from your child as well as you to make the new structure work. It may be hard adjusting at first, but once you get organized, things will feel more natural. Stay positive and upbeat—remind your child that you are doing this because you care. This school year can be more successful with a little preparation and guidance on your part.

Best foods for gaining weight
What are the best foods for gaining weight very easily? I'm a very pathetic skinny hard gainer and I have trouble eating enough calories for my metabolism.
Fried ice cream.
yeahhh good to be back again ;)
so: i´d recommend you todo the following:
put oatmeal, low/non-fat milk, a big banana, some natural peanut butter and one scoop of whey protein in a blender and mix it all up. then just drink it. it tastes pretty good and gets you good cals and protein
Try protein sludge its great for gaining,
all you do is add 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and mix with water until you get a sludgey mix, you can add 100g of frozen blueberrys if you want.
put it in the freezer for 10 minutes and enjoy!
If your looking for meals try chicken, eggs, fish such as sammon, cod or tuna even pasta is good for bulking up.
100% Whey Protein Fuel, Mass, Strawberry Smash, 2 lbs (907 g) - $17.99
Coupone code POD404 on $5 off your first purchase
I like a nice tuna salad..
Mix 1 can of tuna in water with light mayo, and chopped bell-peppers.. Add some hot-sauce for spice.
the winter fruits as almond... These are wealth of protein and fat
you can to go too far with oil too..
My advice to you is to ignore people that say you must eat more fat, burgers, fries, etc etc
Avoid junk food, you can increase weight with good clean food.
Just increase calories, eat more often, force your self to eat more.
Let's say you can only eat 50gr of rice, try to eat 100gr or 150gr.
if you eat 1 steak, start to eat 2 steaks.
Train hard, after workout eat some carbs so you recover quickly and protein for the muscle.
If you can't increase your apettite, eating yeast (i think this is how we spell), that will make your brain think you are still hungry and it will tell you, that you have to eat more.

ARTIST Simon Laurie returns to his home city of Glasgow to exhibit in a newly reopened gallery that once showed works by the Impressionists.
The exhibition of recent work by Simon Laurie is the first solo show in Leiper Fine Art since the gallery's reopening after 82 years.
The city centre space is the former gallery of Alexander Reid, Scotland's greatest art dealer, which 100 years ago displayed works by Degas, Monet and also Van Gogh.
Loading article content
It is now the home to Laurie's first solo exhibition in Glasgow since 2007 and features 28 recent paintings by him.
The show is something of a homecoming for the 49-year-old artist from Dennistoun who studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1982 to 1988.
He was elected a member of the Royal Scottish Watercolourists in 1991 who, in 2000, was elected a member of the Royal Glasgow Institute, where he was twice convenor - in 2005 and 2011.
Laurie said: "I had a great affection for the gallery the first time l stepped through the door. I thought, 'Now here's a space that would show off my work to great effect.' It has the feel of a gallery that you would find in London's West End, with real style, not to mention its historic grounding which also appealed to me."
In its previous incarnation, some of the greatest artists of the 19th and 20th centuries were represented at the gallery of Reid, whose Société des Beaux-Arts was based at 117 and 121 West George Street from 1904 to 1932.
As one of the most influential art dealers in Europe and North America, Reid dealt in works by many of the Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, Glasgow Boys and Scottish Colourists. He died in 1928 but the gallery remained open for another four years. Since then the premises have had a mixed history as a fishing tackle shop, among others.
The gallery is housed in a spectacular A-listed building designed by William Leiper, whose designs included the purpose-built gallery space. Built in 1889, its architectural achievements were recognised at the 1900 Paris International where it was awarded Silver Prize.
The show runs until June 1.

So far, we've seen everyone from Becks to Rachel Weisz grace the covers of the September issues, but the model moment we've been most impressed by is Daisy Lowe on InStyle. Who else could wear a fluffy cardigan and metallic leggings and still look this chic?
As well as looking oh-so-fabulous in her InStyle photoshoot, Lowe opens up about her relationship with her mother, her figure and that famous Playboy pose from last year.
She says, "When I got the email with the pictures, I was quite shocked by the last photo and thought, 'Did they have to show that much of it?' I was a little freaked out". Hopefully, she was encouraged by her grandmother's advice. "Oh, darling, if you've got it, flaunt it; you'll be happy about it when you're 60", she told Daisy.
Clearly, grandmas know best.
Let us know how you rate Daisy's covergirl look and see more of the model in her style evolution below:

Johannesburg - Mobile operator Vodacom Group [JSE:VOD] on Thursday
denied that its network outage was related to the Regulation of Interception of
Communication Act (Rica) deadline.
"The engineers are still working on the network outage
- apologies to everyone affected. Just to confirm, this is not related to
Rica," the group said on its Twitter account.
Vodacom earlier apologised via Twitter that "certain
customers" were having difficulties calling or sending text messages on
its network.
The group tweeted: "We're aware that certain customers
are experiencing an inability to call or SMS. Sincere apologies, we're working
on a fix."
In a press statement the group added: "We are currently experiencing
network issues in some areas. Our engineering team is working hard to resolve
the problem."
On Wednesday, the group also confirmed that it was having
trouble with its network.
"We can confirm that a small percentage of our
customers have experienced a delay in using our USSD recharge system. The
airtime has been credited but in some cases it is not yet reflecting on the
individual's balance. We would like to apologise to any affected customers and
assure them that their recharge will be visible on their account shortly,"
Richard Boorman, Vodacom's executive head of media relations, told I-Net Bridge.
Sim cards not registered ahead of the deadline on Thursday
midnight would be cut off, the operators stressed. Operators confirmed that
they were expecting a last-minute rush to register as 2.7 million sim cards still
need to be registered.
A small percentage? Does the whole of Ctn qualify? I trust that Vodacom will reimburse me with a % of my rental to compensate for them not providing a service.
Yes VODADOM!!!
certain customers only? not rica related? pull another one, Vodacom! you are like a bunch of politicians now! DENY DENY DENY. LIE, LIE, LIE!!!
the V'com network has been down most of the afternoon....Viva MTN!!!
"Some areas" ??? What a load of lies. It's EVERYWHERE. Point is that no-one has the balls to say "this is the problem" so they feed us this garbage.
Great Article
Whatever the excuse it is annoying the poor quality of service these idiots deliver. Can't connect to number is such a stupid response when trying to use your phone - doesn't tell me there is a problem with the network
tick tock - tick tock
oh yeah..... t.i.c. t.i.c. boom........ Voda is just talk - talk is cheap. They should start to deliver service...... What about a vote....... among Voda, Mtn, Cell C.............. Come on media, we'd like that wouldn't we?
My phone does not even ring when I called from my landline to my cellphone. I got an engaged signal then he phone just simply cut out.
What is going on?
Never mind Vodacom, all damn networks are impossible today. MTN has been a joke too! So if not for RICA how is it that all networks are bombing out today!
95% of our employees on Vodacom have no network. Not a minor issue.
Pull my other leg, it has bells on!!
Tick Tock - Tick Tock
Honestly, I don't care if it is or isn't Rica-related. Point is that we are without the ability to make/receive calls or send messages. If it really isn't rica-related, I find it very difficult to believe that this happens as a coincidence on the day of the deadline. What really Pi$$es me off is that I have 4 lines on my name with vodacom and only one of them (my one) is the one that can't make calls! Get you act together Vodacom!!!!
It's not only recharge customers, contract and business customers are all having issues....
I have one vodacom sim card working and one not. It shows as SOS only. Use my phone for business so has had a really negative impact on me today.
Maybe if they focussed less on their bottom line and executive salaries, Vodacom would spend more on its network and avoid the dropped/missed calls and delayed/lost SMSs
Vodacom only has 2 ways of checking if you are RICA'd. One is to call 082111 and ask them - but the lines are jammed up. Takes some time to get thru. The other way is to send an sms sending the word RICA to 31050 - but with all the network outages (and not a small number of customers - a rather large portion i might add) one cannot even send an sms to check. There is no means to check via the web, email, nothing. Good luck. Rubbish.
If you had done it looooooong ago, you wouldn't need to go through all that trouble to check, now would you?
"small percentage" - I think a very large percentage Everybody we have tried we cannot get throught to
Too much of a coincidence...I smell a rat.
This is utter BS!!! Stop making excuses and beef up the network to prevent outages like this...
Well this month you can expect an outage in my payment...and yes its crap service related. You're just useless, can't wait for my contract to end so I can switch to another network.
switch to Cell C mate watch trevor noah take the piss out of vodacom
Been there, tried that, ended up going back to Vodacom as the others are twice & even triple as bad!!!
That said, whatever you do, DO NOT GO TO CELL C, my nephew did not pay his bill & was handed over. I agreed to help him out and tried to phone the legal department to sort things out (it's only R400 odd). Five months later and the only luck I get is a receptionist who politely puts me on hold to nobody each time (once waiting for two hours). I have sent e-mails to countless managers at Cell-C & no one, & I mean NO ONE has bothered to get back to me.
If someone that is willing to help reads this, please e-mail me at email@example.com
"Small percentage of our customers" my ass!! EVERYBODY I know who has Vodacom, is having problems!
Well I am in Nelspruit area and my phone is dead, friend in Johannesburg and a friend in the cape has the same problem. So I have to accept we are in the grouping "certain customers" and "some areas". Jokers !!!
"We're aware that certain customers are experiencing an inability to call or SMS. Sincere apologies, we're working on a fix."
Don't apologise, just credit me for the time that I was unable to use your network!
It seems as denying is what most people excel in this Country.
Useless ... How does Vodacom expect people to double-check their RICA status before the end of the day when there's no network?!
What about burglar alarms? This is not good. Bad, very bad.
Yip - Now youre officially RED!!!! Should have stayed blue boys!!
I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't a little "RICA nudge" from VC
I Think Vodacom forgot to RICA;)
Well said
Ummm someone clicked on the wrong button too soon...
Vodacom goes RED.
So if its not RICA related, what is it? they not saying! Go fiugre!
I have been down since 1pm today!!!
So Vodacom, how do you intend re-reimburse those of us who have lost income as a result of your poor maintenance of technology? I seriously think those of us who utilize our phones for Business, especially when we have what they call LARGE ACCOUNTS, should form a group and SUE Vodacom!!! I sincerely hope Vodacom takes note of my intentions!!! What about people who have been stranded along side the road with mechanical breakdowns, kids in their vehicles etc etc? Any other RELIABLE network who wants my business, contact me!
This country is useless as far as service providers go, with vodacom it has been happening more and more, you can not complain coz there is no service to complain about
Vodacom. Bloody useless! I'm going to another network. Missus and kids on MTN...never have a problem.
Moved number from Vodacom to MTN mid last year and have had no problems since then, always either no service or limited service problems.
Nonsense!!! I have 4 phones on contract and only one is affected, this is not a network problem, Vodacom have messed up. I bet thsy did a test run of the RICA shutdown and this has affected a heck of a lot of cell phones, including phones that have already been RICA'd.
Wow, a bit of a coincidence, me thinks!
It's way to coincidental to not be part of this. MTN is also experiencing major problems!
Absolute nonsense MTN!. i have not had coverage from about 11am today. Everyone that i spoke to had issues regardless if they were MTN or Vodacom subscribed!
Oh come now Vodacom we Know you stuffed and it was due to RICA that your suystems have crashed.... you know you guys wher once market leaders but now you just followers and you your self proved it the day you took red as your colour the same colour cell C dumped months earler... well i now know why you took the red thats cause thats the colour your clients have been seeing the past few months but to day well you just put the cherry on top... you know this phone is my business... who compensates me for my loss ... but i bet you want my pament at the end of the month no matter what loss i had today...mmmm well the way i see it you guys are the only network who has crased with this RICA crap so i guess you guys are way down at the bottom of the sevice provider list.... mmmm well i must say i love it when Trevor Noah takes the piss out of you guys... Hey Trev cant wait to see what you have to say about this one ... and get some one at cell C to give me a call i wanna abandon this Sinking ship
@ Shane: CellC piggybacks on Vodacom's network infrastructure..? If Vodacom sinks, CellC will be short to follow I think.
I am also apparently also a 'certain customer'. I flew down this afternoon from JHB to CTN and phone was dead over there and still is here.
My wife has a phone which uses 3G and her phone EDGE and my phone just says sos!! As per the other comments, DON'T APOLOGISE JUST FIX IT!!!!
How about some airtime refunds to all your clients, Vodacom? Don't you love the jargon these guys use? Some how it makes everything better (not). In SA "sorry" gets you off the hook every time. How about making these guys actually pay for lack of service delivery - focusses the mind wonderfully does a kick in the wallet!
Ok so Vodacom is experiencing "Load-shedding", if this was Eskom we would have all by now crucified them and asked for heads to be rolled . . .
20:40 Hatfield, Pretoria - Still no service. Wake up Vodacom and publish updates as to status of problem on your website. The truth would help as it appears to be a little more than "certain customers" in "certain areas".
hey crap man i still have no dam service how can you say its over
I guess they did not want to loose their 2.7 mil customers and created the clitch to keep them alive and paying :)

Gaydamak as Political Pyromaniac
Gaydamak's dangerous conduct in the field of sports is an accurate reflection of his conduct in the public sphere. The crude contempt for the supreme institution of Israeli soccer is merely an allegory for the populist offensive he is waging against the symbols of Israeli democracy.
How are we to treat the enigmatic figure of Arcadi Gaydamak? Is this a matter of a political prank, a sort of extraterrestrial being, serving as a comic interlude in the public realm, or are we dealing with an aggressive and sophisticated politician who challenges the governing institutions, provides the focus for a broad social protest and threatens to amass great political influence without bothering to present a shred of an agenda? Is he on a lark, trying to buy a place in society with money and clownish gimmicks? Or is he a real threat to the established rules of the game?
Until this past week's events, which culminated in the torching of the offices of the Israel Football Association, I tended to stick with the first option. It's enough to recall a few statements to diagnose the bizarre megalomania that characterizes the man. For example: "There was always a gvir in the Jewish community who arose naturally and became a de-facto leader," he said using a shtetl term for a rich man. "That is what happened to me"; "I bought Beitar [Jerusalem] and now 60 percent of the Mizrahim are mine"; "Moses didn't know how to speak either, but he had Aaron by his side. I have the media. It is my 'Aaron'"; "Ben-Gurion was a mediocre person who leaped at a historic opportunity." Nonsense of this type inspires ridicule in me, not fear."
Last week, at a game between Beitar Jerusalem and Bnei Sakhnin, there was a stronger feeling that Gaydamak had gone haywire. The story was recounted at length in the sports supplements. The game took place without an audience after the disciplinary punishment the IFA imposed on Beitar, but the owner refused to accept the decree. He spent 90 minutes running to and fro in the empty stands waving an enormous Beitar flag and screaming at the top of his lungs: "I hope I screamed loud, you didn't hear me?" Later he cursed IFA Chairman Avi Luzon ("hooligan," "corrupt") and called for the IFA to be closed down.
The difference between free speech and incitement is sometimes razor-thin. The facts are that several days later, unknown persons raided the IFA headquarters, tossed in a Molotov cocktail, caused great damage and sprayed hate slogans ("Luzon is dead"; "We'll murder you"). Gaydamak's initial response was typical: He shirked all responsibility ("I have no pangs of conscience") and even likened his spectacle to Ariel Sharon's historic visit to the Temple Mount: "Sharon had moral and legal legitimacy, and so do I." At the end of the day, he suddenly changed tack and, in a pathetic display of self-righteousness, announced: "If the arsonists were Beitar fans, and if they repeat this action, I will suspend my support for the team." Really? The gales of laughter at La Famiglia, Beitar's legendary fan club, attested to the statement's level of credibility. Everyone understands that without Beitar, Gaydamak is as good as dead politically.
The police have yet to find the culprits, but that doesn't change the requisite conclusions. Gaydamak's dangerous conduct in the field of sports is an accurate reflection of his conduct in the public sphere. The crude contempt for the supreme institution of Israeli soccer is merely an allegory for the populist offensive he is waging against the symbols of Israeli democracy. In both cases, he presents himself as the victim, plays on his audience's feelings of discrimination and nurtures an image of persecution, as though he were a Black Panther - not a billionaire with boundless riches.
His method is to identify for the masses who the enemy is. In the realm of soccer, he singled out the IFA's chairman and juridical bodies, which have a reputation for decency and objectivity. According to him, however, they were a bunch of corrupt hooligans who hated Beitar and discriminated against the team. In the public sphere, he freely lashes out at the heads of government (including Ben-Gurion), pushes his way into every social breach, and hands out wholesale condemnation to the law-enforcement establishment. So far it's working - the polls gave him seven Knesset seats for discrimination and victimhood.
This is where Gaydamak stops being droll and becomes a dangerous politician. He is revealed to be a political pyromaniac who exploits social distress to sow baseless hatred and distrust for the democratic game. This apparently led to the IFA arson, but the fire can spread to other provinces as well.

Novel interfaces pursued for increased content
Post a comment
LAS VEGAS Developing the "perfect" human interface to a computing device is a matter of finding more-efficient ways to access the volume of content available on stationary and mobile computing platforms. Three presentations at the International Conference on Consumer Electronics, held here Jan. 11-14, exemplify this work.
Researchers at the Hitachi Human Interaction Laboratory in Tokyo collaborated with Interaction Design of the Royal College of Art in London to develop an interface that accesses a rich variety of content more easily by using a poetry-reading metaphor. The interface searches for content by turning the pages of a book-like device. The device allows the user can to find desired content without scrolling excessively, pressing a lot of buttons or handling complex graphical user interfaces like remote controls. The prototype can control Internet browsing, a TV or radio and media files stored on a hard-disk drive.
Reading poetry is a special case. Typically, the researchers said, a reader knows where a favorite page is located no matter how thick the book is. Usually the book will open to that spot because the reader keeps coming back to the favorite poem. Later, the reader may put the book face down for future reading.
The researchers emulated this scenario and developed a physical prototype of a book-like device. The device can detect three states: whether the book is open or closed, the page the book is opened to and whether the book is face up or down.
To distinguish the states of the book, light-dependent resistors (LDRs) measure brightness. Resistors on each page and the front and back covers have gray-scale values from 0 (bright) to 255 (dark) in response to the brightness. When the book is closed, the value from the LDR on the front or back cover, LDR-f or LDR-b, is the smallest.
When page number "n" is opened, the value from LDR-n on page n becomes the smallest. When the book is face down, the values from LDR-f and LDR-b are the first and second smallest. A peripheral interface controller judges the state using the input value from each LDR and sends the state as output to the target device.
The device was applied as a television remote control to change channels by turning the pages. Each channel is linked to a page. Files stored on a hard-disk drive, such as recorded TV programs or programs downloaded using video on demand, can be linked to the pages.
The interface can also search for digital radio stations by turning the pages and turning the volume on or off by turning the book face up or face down. Also, a digital photo viewer based on the book device allows a user to find his favorite photo by flipping pages. A bookmarked Web site can be assigned to a page without searching for it in the bookmark list.
A magnified view
Another user interface, developed by researchers from Mitsubishi Electric Microcomputer Application Software Co. Ltd. (Nagaokakyo, Japan) and Ryukoku University (Otsu, Japan), allows the display to change by moving a 640 x 480 viewer itself.
On most portable displays a lot of information has to be presented in a small display area. As a result, chosen icons and information behind those icons cannot be displayed at the same time.
Researchers at Mitsubishi have developed a viewer with an interface to access information that acts like a magnifying glass the user can operate intuitively. The contents displayed on the small screen of the viewer change in real-time when the viewer moves. The action resembles how one uses a magnifying glass. The system inputs data by the physical movement of the device itself without requiring special input tools such as a mouse or buttons.
The experimental system, embedded with a gyro sensor and a microcomputer, confirmed that the user's operation of the viewer is reflected on the screen by detecting the amount of inclination, slide and rotation of the viewer.
Sequence actions
Researchers at Kyungpook National University's Department of Information and Communications and School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Daegu, South Korea) developed an interface that recognizes a user's sequence-action. The user interface recognizes a user's various hand gestures such as throwing, swinging, tilting, pushing, pulling and snatching, and it can estimate the user's various postures.
A state machine algorithm for sequence-action recognition is applied to the output signals of an embedded two-axes accelerometer (ADXL202EB). The output is signal-processed for gesture recognition and posture estimation. The resulting output signal defines each user's posture and gesture stage-by-stage, by considering a typical accelerometer signal for the action.
The researchers concluded that the elegance of the state machine approach is effective in sequence-action recognition and suitable for low-end mobile devices because the accelerometer can be easily and inexpensively embedded into mobile devices.

Heavy patient loads and chronic burnout have long been among the top complaints of nurses at the nation's hospital bedsides. But a new study shows that those problems affect not only the nurses themselves, but also the number of infections in the people they care for.
For every extra patient added to a nurse's workload, there was roughly one additional hospital-acquired infection logged per 1,000 patients, according to researchers from the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing.
For each 10 percent jump in the proportion of nurses who logged high levels of burnout, there was roughly one additional catheter-associated urinary tract infection per 1,000 patients and almost extra two surgical site infections per 1,000 patients, according to a study published today in the American Journal of Infection Control.

New plans for a temporary swimming pool in Dumfries have been put forward.
Controversial proposals for the facility at the town's Ice Bowl were rejected by councillors on April 23 due to concerns about parking and traffic management in the area.
But revised plans were submitted by Dumfries and Galloway Council eight days later.
And they include proposals to provide parking for 360 cars on land nearby owned by Queen of the South FC.
The council has struck a deal with the club to use the old supermarket site next to Palmerston Park.
It is desperate to provide an alternative pool while extensive repairs are carried out at the DG One leisure complex.
The work is due to start on October 6 and is expected to take up to 17 months to complete.
The installation of a 25m, four lane pool will result in the loss of 46 spaces at the Ice Bowl.
As part of the deal with Queen of the South to use the old Tesco car park, the temporary pool will close one hour before kick-off on match days.
In addition the surface of the walkway between Palmerston and the Ice Bowl will be "made good" and will be lit.
The traffic management plan will also see patrols by community safety officers to clampdown on unauthorised parking.
The council has identified a total of 587 parking spaces within a 700 metre radius of the temporary pool which will be advertised to customers to mitigate the loss of the 46 Ice Bowl spaces.
By contrast, the authority points out that DG One has 140 parking spaces, many of which are used by non-customers.
The new proposal will go before the planning applications committee at a date to be determined.
Councillor Dryburgh previously said the plan was "making the best of a bad situation." He said: "There are going to be some road safety issues but we need to get DG One sorted out so people can actually use our facility. The nearest pool is further out the town and the rest are private. We need to have this (temporary pool) in place before the repairs to DG One begin."
At the April planning meeting he proposed a motion to approve the scheme but the committee voted eight to five against it.
The temporary pool will have a capacity for 80 bathers which is 320 less than DG One.
Yesterday, Councillor Gill Dykes said: "I did initially support the pool and I stand by that decision but it needs to be done in a feasible way at a location that has proper traffic management and parking available. If not then we need to be able to bus people to other pools."
In March this year, council leader Ronnie Nicholson insisted the authority wouldn't delay the repair work required at DG One any further.
The council lodged legal action against Kier Northern, the builders of the £17 million facility, in a bid to cover the cost of the repairs.

* Prices may differ from that shown
When buying the item do be aware that Cannon often do a cash back scheme with this printer which in my case amounted to £50.
This printer is designed for a small business or heavy household use. It is one of the cheapest laser printers that are likely to have all the features that a required. The networking is very simple to set up and works by pluging an ethernet cable from the printer to the Wifi router. An app can be put on an ipad to use with this printer, this is not Apple printer but a Cannon app. The duplexer works well and a choice is given at the time of printing. The paper tray happily holds half a ream of paper. There is also a paper tray add on if extra capacity or different colours/ qualities of paper are required.
Speed: Speed is good though it can take 20 seconds to warm up from switching on. It may also stop part way through the printing job for cleaning for 20 seconds.
Print quality: For black text the printer has no difficulty, text is clear and deep black. Then printer can struggle with colour, in particular with red. This may cause a problem if you are looking to print pictures to a high quality.
Conclusion: A well equipped printer that is likely to serve the vast majority of printing jobs. The purchase price is good value, the starter inks do soon run out and obtaining cheap genuine Cannon inks is not always easy. With larger print jobs the printer can emit a smell which is beyond what is expected and is more pungent than other printers I have encountered.

Small Cell Cancer of the Lung Treatment
The treatment for small cell carcinoma of the lung depends on the stage of the lung cancer. Because small cell carcinoma grows so quickly, the cancer has usually spread beyond the lung at the time of diagnosis. Surgery is only performed if the cancer is limited to the lung. Treatment of small cell carcinoma of the lung often includes some combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
Chemotherapy uses medications that either kill cancer cells directly, or interfere with their metabolism. Radiation therapy uses x-rays to directly kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy delivers a focused beam of radiation to the cancer so that any damage to surrounding tissue is minimized.
The treatment for small cell carcinoma of the lung includes:
- Chemotherapy for lung cancer:
- Medicines that kill cancer cells
- May use a single agent or a combination of agents
- Etoposide (Toposar, VePesid)
- Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan, Neosar)
- Doxorubicin (Adriamycin, Rubex)
- Vincristine (Oncovin)
- Topotecan (Hycamtin)
- Paclitaxel (Taxol)
- Carboplatin (Paraplatin)
- Cisplatin (Platinol)
- Medications for nausea and vomiting:
- Aprepitant (Emend)
- Dolasetron (Anzemet)
- Granisetron (Kytril)
- Metoclopramide (Reglan)
- Ondansetron (Zofran)
- Palonosetron (Aloxi)
- Prochlorperazine (Compazine, Compro)
- Promethazine (Phenergan)
- Radiation therapy for lung cancer:
- A focused beam of radiation that kills cancer cells
- Surgery for lung cancer
- This may involve removing a portion of the lung or the entire lung.
- Narcotic pain medication:
Commonly used chemotherapy regimens for small cell carcinoma of the lung include:
- Topotecan
- Etoposide

- Published: 07 February 2015
A 32-YEAR-OLD man will spend three months in jail for adding a zero to a $5 note to make it look like $50.
Godness Owen Godha, of no fixed abode was arrested as he tried to buy a pint of beer using the fake $50 note.
The $5 note had zeros added on all the corners using a green mighty marker, to make it appear like a $50 note.
Godha admitted he wanted to buy beer using the fake money but denied being the one responsible for adding a zero to the note.
Gwanda magistrate, Arafat Kozanai, convicted Godha of possessing a fake note and sentenced him to an effective three months in prison.
Godha told the court he had been given the fake note by one Maphala, who is a teacher at St Christopher's School in Gwanda Town.
However, magistrate Kozanai said in trying to defend himself, Godha had actually raised points that exposed him that he had knowledge of possessing fake money.
"You put these zeros to make it look like $50, but your attempts failed. You have great knowledge of where you found the money. So you should go to prison where you belong otherwise you will end up painting other monies," said Kozanai.
Prosecuting, Getrude Zvidzai said Godha tried to buy beer at Njula bottle store using a fake $50 but the cashier immediately noticed it.
The matter was reported to some detectives who were at the bottle store leading to Godha's arrest.

The hair colours, styles, accessories need to be decided according personality, trends and dress. Even the biggest stars make mistakes in pleasing men with their hairdos. One of the failed hairstyles of Bollywood include Vidya Balan's Hey Baby!! look, Rani Mukherji's Ta Ra Rum Pum blonde appearance, Priety Zinta's Pixie image in Lakshya were the flop hairdos of the time.
Today, we will discuss some of the hairstyles that men like and recommend. Take a look.
5 Best Hairstyles For Women That Men Suggest
1. Flirty Ponytails - For college going girls, ponytails look cute and girlie and that's what men want. Men want women to look women and ponytails add to casualness, attitude and cool behaviour of the person.
2. Cool Braids – Plaits look simple and beautiful to women with medium length hair. They match to the ethnic as well western outfits. Loose plaits also compliment well with bikini and revealing outfits. A hot eye makeup can gel well with the braids.
3. Attractive Pixie Cut – For summer, the male hairstylists advice short hair cuts such as pixies. These styles don't suit every women but those with sharp or edgy chin can carry it best.
4. Messy Hair – The wet hair look, out of bathroom look also add to the beauty of women. The hairdos make women look very modern, bold and matured.
5. Super Hot Straightened Hair – Simple straightening hair and setting it neatly will be an ideal hairstyles for 20, 30 and 40s women.

I have a feeling we're in for a lot of this.
Ever since Guillermo Del Toro's dramatic announcement that he was dropping out as director of "The Hobbit," speculation has been running wild about who will step in to replace him.
One school of thought has Peter Jackson eventually giving in to pressure and making the films himself. I can understand why Jackson wouldn't want to direct "The Hobbit," but I can also understand why anyone involved in financing two "Hobbit" movies would want the guy who directed "The Lord Of The Rings" to be the one calling the shots.
Based on everything I've heard the last few weeks, I don't believe Peter will end up making the movie. I think they will find someone else, and I think they'll find that someone else sooner rather than later. I'm still not sure who's actually planning to pay for the film, what with MGM's financial issues and the whole complicated rights issue in the first place. Still, there seems to be some confidence that they'll get things worked out in time to let someone roll film in January of next year.
But who?
This week, TheOneRing.net reported that Neill Blomkamp's name had started showing up on production breakdowns as the director of the film. And almost as soon as that story exploded everywhere, The Vulture contacted the people who actually, you know, represent Blomkamp, and they firmly denied the story.
My guess is that Blomkamp wouldn't be interested. I've heard that he has made it fairly clear to everyone on his team that he doesn't want to make giant studio franchise films. I think almost-but-not-quite making "Halo" had a profound and positive effect on Blomkamp. He was forced to make "District 9" outside the system, and he ended up making it his way without compromise, and he got a Best Picture nomination and an unlikely box-office hit as a result.
He's smart to work with Media Rights Capital on his new sci-fi film, rumored to be an original that isn't based on any source material. He's looking at an ownership position on this thing, and he's making something personal, something he controls, outside the studio system the same way he made "District 9." He's got such a great angry original voice that I'd almost hate to see him waste his time bringing someone else's story to life, especially if he's taking visual cues from the work that already exists on "LOTR," meaning he wouldn't really have much to bring to the film. He'd be a traffic cop.
There's so much misinformation and conflicting information out there about this right now. My feeling is that MGM lost Del Toro because they weren't ready to make the film, and right now, there's not much more that's going on than that. They can't make the film.
We're a long way from hearing names for director or cast on this one. If MGM rushes and makes a decision on this that no one's happy with, they might as well pull the plug on "The Hobbit" now. There are very few projects that will ever be made that will suffer the level of scrutiny that this will have to endure during production. Let's hope level heads prevail as they move forward, and that the end results are worth all the sturm und drang so far.

DAYTONA BEACH (AP) -- Ken Schrader pulled the lever Thursday and the number ''1'' came up, meaning he'll start from the pole position in the first race of the 2001 Winston Cup season.
The big question is whether the pole position means anything in the revamped Budweiser Shootout.
There have been a number of changes to the non-points race this year. Most notably, it will last 70 laps instead of 25. That means a pit stop will come into play and starting in front won't bring as big an advantage.
``You know where starting in No. 1 can potentially put you going into turn three,'' Schrader said, noting the tendency of drivers to group up on leaders and pass them.
Starting outside Schrader will be Dale Earnhardt, who has won the race six times. Winning spots in the second row during the random draw were Dale Jarrett and Mark Martin.
The field includes 18 drivers -- 13 who won a pole position last year, four past winners of the exhibition event and Ted Musgrave, a randomly selected winner among last year's second-day qualifying winners.
Gone will be the preliminary qualifying race among all the second-day qualifying winners for one spot in the main race. That leaves more time for a longer race that will come much closer to mimicking the 125-mile qualifying races next Thursday, in which positions for the Daytona 500 will be decided.
Before that, however, there's a $900,000 purse and a $200,000 first prize to race for in this ``exhibition'' event. Starting positions didn't seem to encourage or distract any of the 18 drivers.
``I don't think it matters where you start,'' Jarrett said. ``I think everyone is going to be in every position before the race is over.''

Today we're thrilled to have not one but three authors—Gayle Callen, Laura Lee Guhrke, and Caroline Linden—weigh in on one of our favorite genres, historical romance. Gayle's latest release, Redemption of the Duke, is out today, and its hero is a duke (of course!) with secrets who needs redeeming. Laura Lee Guhrke's How to Lose a Duke in Ten Days pairs an American heiress with a duke, and is also out today, while Caroline Linden's It Takes a Scandal offers a love triangle between a wealthy heiress and two very scandalous gentlemen. The ladies are here to discuss what makes historical romance so awesome. Thanks, Gayle, Laura Lee, and Caroline!
1) Dukes. Now come on, when you see the word "Duke" in a title, doesn't your heart speed up? There's just something about powerful men at the top of the aristocracy, brought to their knees by love, that just makes us all swoon. That's probably why I've used "Duke" in the title 3 times in my 21 historical romances, including my most recent, Redemption of the Duke. –Gayle

Cool thread - liking some of these - FIP looks a good tip. 6 Music is alright but it's not that great really is it? Daytime selection has too much twee indie for my liking.
I'll add in Bluemars and Cryosleep for Ambient stuff.
+1 for soma fm, 'dubstep beyond' for me
If you like Motorsport and Sportscar racing in particular then Radio Le Mans is good at 8pm on a Wednesday night for a 'news' program as well as commentary from the races at the weekends.

REDWOOD SHORES, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 13, 2013) - Oracle (
News Facts
- In order to help customers increase efficiency, achieve stronger internal controls and improve transparency between book and tax data, Oracle announced Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision.
- Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision allows customers to collect, calculate and report on the consolidated tax provision and more closely align tax with financial reporting.
- Built on the Hyperion Financial Close Suite, Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision is a web-based tax application that addresses the full scope of the global tax provision process.
- Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision replaces the highly manual methods used by most organizations with an automated and standardized process that increases efficiency. Furthermore, it integrates with tax compliance software and improves the overall compliance process by providing a more streamlined book-to-tax process.
- Integrated with Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision is based on the same technology trusted by thousands of finance organizations to ensure the accuracy of financial reporting.
- The calculation of the income tax provision is a key part of an organization's financial close process. Therefore, a stronger alignment of the tax provision with the financial close process benefits both tax and finance by helping to eliminate redundant processes and increasing transparency of the broader financial reporting process.
- Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision helps Oracle, and its partners, add more value for their customers; delivering a more comprehensive solution that helps address the needs of both tax and finance executives.
- Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision is available in North America and the United Kingdom.
Addressing the Corporate Tax Provision
Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision integrates with the Hyperion Financial Close suite and offers the following benefits:
- Efficiency, Speed & Data Integrity: Integration of the tax provision with the financial process helps ensure that tax and finance data reconcile at all times, and eliminates the need for redundant maintenance of data and metadata. This allows tax to always work with the latest financial data. Tax can spend less time on data and more time on analysis.
- Autonomy: Tax can realize the efficiencies of being more closely integrated with the financial close process, but both finance and tax still retain the autonomy that is necessary to meet their individual reporting needs.
- Enterprise-quality Tax Reporting: The corporate tax department is empowered with the same robust reporting tools as used by finance. This allows for easy drill-down and variance reporting (e.g. actual vs. history, actual vs. forecast). It also leads to economies in training and on-boarding new users. This includes both Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting and Oracle Hyperion Smart View for Office (Microsoft Office Add-in).
- Stronger controls & easier access for users: Regional controllers that submit data to both corporate finance and corporate tax during the financial close can work from the same easy to use interface -- instead of switching between two different solutions. This results in a stronger control environment enabling regional controllers to perform efficiently and quickly -- instead of reconciling data between two separate systems.
- Transparency between book and tax data: Finance has better transparency between book and tax data -- especially for tax journal entry, disclosures and key metrics such as effective tax rate.
Supporting Quotes
- "Today's globalized economy requires more agility and transparency in financial reporting," said Hari Sankar, vice president of product management at Oracle. "Tax provisioning is a key step in the financial close process, yet in most corporations tax and financial reporting are not well integrated. With Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision, customers can use their investments in Oracle Hyperion Financial Management to collect, calculate and report on the global consolidated tax provision, and integrate it with their financial reporting."
- "We believe that a corporate tax provision process that is not closely aligned with the financial reporting process may expose companies to unnecessary risk and inefficiencies. Aligning corporate tax and finance systems may greatly enhance the ability of tax departments to execute their responsibilities more effectively," said Michael J. Johnson, performance management technology leader for Deloitte's Tax Management Consulting Practice.

One of the all-Pac-10 performers on the Washington volleyball team is an ice-cream lover whose favorite flavor is classic vanilla.
But there is nothing vanilla about the game of Candace Lee, the Huskies' libero. You can find her diving, sprawling and acrobatically keeping the ball in play.
"At some point, she will be the biggest name in USA volleyball," UW coach Jim McLaughlin boldly predicts. "Candace Lee will be the libero for the USA team some day, just mark my words."
As a libero, Lee is a defensive specialist whose job is digging smashes from opposing hitters, receiving serves and passing. (A "dig" is keeping a ball in play that has been "attacked" by the opponents.) Liberos wear distinctive jerseys and play on the back row.
"I tell people, "I'm the person who wears the different-colored shirt,' " Lee said.
Quickness, coordination and a disregard for one's body are requirements for the position. Lee, who once suffered bruises jumping off a three-story waterfall in Oregon, qualifies.
Tomorrow, Lee and the Huskies (28-2) will face Stanford (28-6) in the Final Four of the NCAA tournament, at 5:30 p.m. in Long Beach, Calif. USC (23-5) will face Minnesota (32-4) in the other semifinal at 7:30.
Lee, whose parents are elementary-school educators, helped the Huskies reach their first Final Four with a career-high 40 digs in a dramatic 3-2 victory over UCLA in the regional finals last Saturday.
The 20-year-old junior has 1,531 career digs, which are a school record and fourth on the all-time Pac-10 list. Her 632 digs this season are also a school record.
When McLaughlin was hired four years ago, one of the first telephone calls he got was from a volleyball savant who said, "You've got to check out this kid in Eugene."
But Lee wasn't highly recruited. One reason for that was she lost time in 2000 because of a rare blood disorder that prevented proper clotting.
"I was bruising real easily," she said.
Doctors finally decided to remove her spleen. But during surgery, they discovered she had three spleens instead one. The excessive amount of spleen tissue had been eating her platelets and causing the disease.
Lee was a 4.0 student at Springfield High School (just outside of Eugene, Ore.), where she also was a state-caliber tennis player, a sport she thinks improved her quickness and hand-eye coordination for volleyball.
"I want to get 70 percent 3s," she said.
No one appreciates Lee's good passes more than sophomore setter Courtney Thompson, who uses them to set up the Huskies' powerful hitters.
"She is unbelievable," Thompson said. "That girl deserves more credit than anybody. She is so much fun to play with. She's focused, she's making everyone better. She is just a competitor, just the type of person you love to be around on and off the court."
Lee, an English major, is taking Italian because she someday wants to teach English in Italy. She has an interest in international life plus a well-traveled boyfriend Huskies tennis player Alex Vlaski, from Belgrade, Yugoslavia.
This week, Lee is doing the traveling to the Final Four. It could turn out to be more fun than a big bowl of ice cream.
Freshman outside hitter Christal Morrison tested her knee and foot injuries with 15 jumps yesterday and appeared to come through the drill well, according to McLaughlin.
ESPN2 will televise the national semifinals on a tape-delayed basis. Tomorrow's UW-Stanford match will be shown at 8 p.m. The USC-Minnesota match will air Friday at noon. The national championship match will be live on ESPN2 at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Promoting yourself isn't exactly your full-time job, but it's a significant chunk of your life—and it probably involves a camera, even if it's just the one on your smartphone. But cottony snaps, however much you've fed them through Instagram, only go so far. If you're serious about how you present yourself and your work, you need the software that tells that to the world. And that remains Photoshop. You don't need to know enough to fully process your headshots, but you should know all the tools that are all available to you, and in the latest version, released as part of Adobe's Creative Cloud (CC) package, there are more and better ones than ever before.
The anchoring "magic" addition this time around is camera shake reduction. If a picture is too blurry because your camera moved while you were snapping, you can process your shot through this tool to eliminate most of the offending fuzz.
Perhaps even handier for everyday use is the new Smart Sharpen filter. Beyond providing sliders that grant finer control over how the technique is applied, it analyzes your image so it knows which elements it should accentuate and which it shouldn't.
Do you have an image that's beautifully composed, but just too small for how you want to use it? Improved upsampling may be able to help. There's even a way to preserve certain details and limit the introduction of new noise that might typically appear when you try to "expand" a smaller picture to fill a bigger space.
There's one crucial caveat. As with much in Photoshop, acquiring the most professional result with these tools may take a lot of practice. And don't expect the "fixed" version to look perfect; you're always better off getting things as right as possible when you're shooting. But if you need or want a little bit of help, these are three excellent ways to go.
Combined with better Raw image handling and other standard CC features—cloud storage, the addition of licensed TypeKit fonts that work with Adobe and non-Adobe software, membership in the Behance portfolio service—these represent some solid core improvements to Photoshop.
But are they enough to justify the potentially hefty cost of a CC subscription? If you have CS6, probably not—there haven't been many interface rethinks or other sweeping refinements that will drastically alter the way you work with the software, so you can safely stick with it if you're happy with what you have. But if you've come to the conclusion that you need even more one-stop ways to repair your less-than-perfect photos, Photoshop CC—like practically every other version that's preceded it—is the best method currently available.

- Name: Sara Morin
- E-mail: email@example.com
- Age: 29
- Where: Portland, Maine
- Height: 5'4"
- Weight: 123 Lbs.
- Years Bodybuilding :1
- Favorite Bodypart: Legs
- Favorite Exercise: Back
- Favorite Supplements: MHP Trac, Universal Nutrition's Creatine
How Did You Get Started?
I had always played sports since childhood, but now after having two young sons, ages 6 yrs. and 21 mos., I wanted to be a fit mom and feel good about myself. I became a certified group fitness instructor after my first child and was back in the gym 5 days after my second was born. Until then, I always admired the beautifully sculpted women in fitness magazines. In May of this year, I finally decided to stop wishing and just go for it. I entered my first figure competition in August and won. Since then, I won the NABF National Overall Figure Title in November and two weeks later, got the Overall Figure at the NPC Connecticut/Northeastern States Championships.
What Workout Plan Worked Best For You?
- Sun - Shoulders, Calves, Abs
- Mon - Biceps, Triceps
- Tues - Off
- Wed - Glutes, Hams, Abs
- Thurs - Quads, Calves
- Fri - Back
- Sat - Full Body, Abs
What Nutrition Plan Has Worked Best For You?
CONSISTENCY! During regular training, I eat high protein, moderate carbs and low fat. My calories average 1800-2000. I try to get the majority of my nutrients from whole foods. Pre-contest, my calories are cut by about 25% and I drop my carbs considerably.
What Supplements Have Given You The Greatest Gains?
Thermogenics, creatine and glutamine have given me the greatest gains.
Why do you love Bodybuilding?
Because it's all about me. No really, as a full time mother, I truly appreciate my time at the gym. It is my sanctuary and the one place that I can control the outcome of my physique based on how I perform. There is nothing subjective about how hard you lift and what you feed your body. There aren't many things in life that offer that type of freedom. You have no one to answer to except yourself. The rush I get from working out is unparalleled and I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm with others.
What Are Your Future Bodybuilding Plans?
To earn my NPC/IFBB Pro Card in 2004 and to continue to improve my physique and still have fun doing it!
What One Tip Would You Give Other Bodybuilders?
Here is a wonderful quote that sums it up: Above all, always believe in yourself. A good friend once told me, "When you walk out on that stage, you are it." Project confidence, not arrogance. Be proud of what you've accomplished. Most people will never be on a competition stage, just that feat alone is outstanding.
Who Are Your Favorite Bodybuilders?
Jenny Worth is amazing. Due to her thyroid condition, she has to work harder than most competitors. She is a true inspiration, a great performer and has a fantastic physique. I would love to meet her some day!

"The Errand Boy is the most suspenseful and engaging literary thriller I've read since Elmore Leonard's Bandits. What's truly at stake this time around for Don Bredes's wonderfully human investigator, Hector Bellevance, is the integrity of his hometown and the safety of his family. The Errand Boy is a beautifully-written work of fiction, combining the unspeakable terror of a father's worst nightmare with a memorable evocation of what must be one of the "last best places" in these United States."
—Howard Frank Mosher
"Bredes's method is a little like his sturdy small-town constable's–by page two he's got you by the lapels, pushed you up against the wall, and made you fear what comes next. He doesn't relax his grip until the last page is turned."
—Tom McNeal, author of Goodnight, Nebraska
From the Trade Paperback edition.

Students generally go through two types of enlistment – advanced or pre-enlistment, and enlistment during general registration. Advanced enlistment for the next semester is usually held in the middle of the current semester, its schedule announced about a week in advance. During the period for advanced enlistment, students submit a list of requested subjects to their respective colleges. These lists are entered online by logging on to the University's Computerized Registration System (CRS). CRS processes student requests in batches, allocating slots based on a student's enrollment status, supply and demand. Results are printed out as the UP Form5-A.
During registration period, subjects may be added to or canceled from the Form5-A due to changes in schedules, failed prerequisites, etc. Most colleges allocate new slots, create or dissolve classes, accomplish changes to the classlist manually. The EEE Institute, and other colleges, do so during online prerogative using CRS. Students logon to CRS to view currently enlisted subjects, available slots, and results of petitions or for announcements of new or dissolved sections. For non-EEE subjects, students will need to go to the respective colleges and departments of the subject they want to enlist in.


text: Winn-Dixie Louisiana Inc. has appealed to a federal judge to discard a former workers lawsuit that claims the company illegally fired him for cross-dressing outside of work. Peter Oiler sued the grocery store chain last October in U.S. district court after he was fired in January 2000 after working for Winn-Dixie for 20 years. The company responded to the suit, backed by the American Civil Liberties Union, late last week. Oiler, who has been married for 23 years, is seeking unspecified damages for emotional distress and lost wages. Winn-Dixie Louisiana Inc. is not liable for punitive damages under any theory of this case, because it did not act with malice or reckless indifference with respect to any federally protected rights of Plaintiff, wrote Steven Hymowitz, the companys attorney. Hymowitz added that Winn-Dixie isnt liable because it made good faith efforts to comply with Title VII, which prohibits sexual discrimination, of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Winn-Dixie says Oiler raised the topic of being transgender during an October 1999 meeting with his supervisor. The company did acknowledge asking Oiler to resign on several occasions, but he refused. Oiler said his supervisor told him that his behavior could harm the company image.

Late September through November is a great time to plant spring blooming bulbs in the garden.
Add drifts of early spring color to your gardens by naturalizing spring blooming bulbs. Many spring bulbs, such as Narcissus, Crocus, Leucojum, and Muscari, are especially well suited for naturalizing. They give the garden a "natural" look when planted en masse under trees and shrubs or even in the grass. They are especially beautiful when planted in great drifts in a woodland setting! Steep slopes, rock walls, and open meadows become a riot of early spring color with mass plantings of beautiful bulbs.
And remember - Narcissus are deer and vole resistant and they make great cut flowers! Watch Mark's video tip on cutting narcissus and see a video on the huge variety of different narcissus.
Use bulbs as a cluster in containers by the front door, peeking up from the rock garden, and as a border in front of your foundation shrubs. Watch a video tip on some other types of unusual spring blooming bulbs.
For a formal look to your bulb plantings, use the more formal tulips and hyacinths in blocks of one or two colors. Keep in mind that, although tulips give you a great show of color, they are not long lived and generally need to be replaced each year. Be sure to select the largest bulb size possible so you get the biggest and most colorful blooms that first year. The Viettes are working on selecting and evaluating naturalizing tulips (ones that will come back year after year). We are hoping that these will be available in future years.
For a stunning informal spring landscape, combine spring bulbs with early blooming perennials such as creeping phlox (Phlox subulata), bleeding heart (Dicentra spectabilis), Pulmonaria, Epimedium, and Polemonium. For added height back these up with beautiful spring blooming shrubs like Pieris, Forsythia, flowering quince, or Viburnum carlesii.
Inter-plant your bulbs with daylilies, hosta, ornamental grasses, or other taller perennials which will hide the bulb foliage once they are finished blooming. Remember to place your taller bulbs in the middle portion of your flower bed.
Good drainage is essential for bulbs. Work and amend the bulb bed by adding organic matter such as peat moss, compost or aged pink bark, and add Bulb-tone fertilizer.
