"I pictured winning every point," says tennis champion Gabriela Sabatini. "I visualized winning the whole tournament, never letting Steffi Graf into the match."
That she did, and as a result accomplished a stunning upset, taking home the United States Open tennis title in 1990 at the age of 19.
The process that Sabatini used to give herself that mental edge is called imaging or visualization. Many top players in a variety of sports are using this process to make themselves ready for competition. In essence, they "run a movie" of a successful performance in their heads.
These successful athletes have learned that preparing for competition requires a combination of physical and mental preparation.
Let's Get Physical
On the physical side, nutrition, rest, and relaxation all contribute to being optimally prepared to compete.
Anyone who has ever gorged on too much pizza can vouch for the fact that eating right (or wrong) has a direct effect on how you feel. A balanced diet is as important in gaining a competitive edge as physical training. In fact, if you don't eat sensibly, your body may be extremely uncooperative as you try to push yourself to your limits.
When you want a quick energy boost before practice, DON'T reach for that candy bar. While candy packed with sugar may give you an initial surge of energy, it also brings you down quickly (even lower than your original energy level!). Snacks in the form of fruit, or a peanut butter sandwich, or cheese and crackers, or a bowl of cereal are a smarter choice when you're gearing up for competition.
On the day of competition, be sure to eat your meal several hours before you are scheduled to compete.
Rest Easy
Adequate rest in an important component in getting ready for competition. The excitement of the coming contest may make it difficult to fall asleep. You may even think that staying up late to get in more practice will give you that competitive edge. It won't! Instead, lack of much-needed sleep is likely to cloud your mind, dull your senses, and slow your movement. Give yourself a break: Rest.
You Deserve to Relax
Relaxation is another important ingredient in preparing for competition. Watching a movie, listening to music, reading, talking to a friend, anything that puts you at ease and relieves stress helps to promote a healthy state of mind.
Determination Is the Key
While no one is perfect, practicing skills brings them to the highest level we can attain. Determination begins with a goal. Then decide how to achieve that goal. Start from where you are; take pride in what you're doing; focus on what you can do, not what you can't do; learn from your mistakes; don't be afraid to fail; be willing to sacrifice to reach your accomplishments.
Once you get close to the day of a competition, the physical aspect of optimum performance is overshadowed by the importance of mental toughness. At this point, if you've prepared well, your body will "automatically know" how to perform. It is your mind that must be tough enough to handle the situation successfully.
Dr. Robert W. Burton, a sports psychiatrist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, emphasizes that being the first to cross a finish line requires much more than strong muscles and good foot speed. To be at top performance, an athlete must be equally strong in mind and body.
More Imaging
"I've been doing visualizing exercises since I was 12," says 19-year-old Jessica Mills from Evanston, Illinois. Jessica is a world-class figure skating champion who captured the Junior World Figure Skating Championship at the age of 14.
"About two weeks before every competition, each night I visualize one of the two routines I will be doing. I go through all the jumps and spins in my mind exactly as I want them to be," she says. "Then, on the day of the competition, I get to the rink early, stretch, find a quiet corner and visualize my entire upcoming performance. I go through every move, feeling that the performance is flawless."
It seems to run in the family. Jessica's 22-year-old sister, Hilary, a National Speed Skater, also uses visualization as a tool to prepare for competition. "On the day of my competition," she explains, "I usually close my eyes and go through the exact techniques I want to use. When I see the races in my head, I see all my split lap times, which are excellent, of course. Sometimes I see myself from different views," she continues, "as if I am observing myself from inside out. Other times it's as if I were a spectator watching myself. The night before a race I try to relax and do something I really like to do–go to a good movie, for instance. But don't think I won't be pondering how I'm going to skate tomorrow's race," she says with a smile.
Hanging Tough
Robert M. Nideffer, Ph.D., in his book Psyched to Win, offers the following advice on mental toughness.
1. You have the capacity to believe and to have faith in your own abilities. It is your responsibility, however, to develop that faith by making a commitment.
2. Faith is important because it quiets the voice of doubt inside your head. Unless you quiet self-doubt, you cannot become immersed.
3. Believe it is your responsibility to do the very best you can with the tools you have.
4. Accept the fact that faith is a growing process, not an absolute.
5. Faith and your ability to play "in the zone" (at a level of peak performance) grow slowly, hand in hand.
6. Responsibility for your life rests in your own hands.
Olympic sports psychologist Shane Murphy says, "To succeed in anything, think of yourself in a positive way. This means that when you get a negative thought, you must consciously stop and replace it with a positive one. In sports, such phrases as 'I am a winner' or 'I deserve to be here' are the kinds of thoughts that will enhance your mental outlook and facilitate your best ever!"

Legionnaires Disease | FAQ
How common is Legionnaires disease?
Legionnaires' is not rare. It is perceived as rare only because most cases are never detected, and not all detected cases are reported to public health authorities. Because under-diagnosis and under-reporting make incidence of the disease difficult to estimate, figures have varied widely. The (U.S.) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, has estimated that the disease infects 10,000 to 15,000 persons annually in the United States, but others have estimated as many as 100,000 annual U.S. cases.
Another reason that Legionnaires' is falsely perceived as rare is that when cases are detected, the public rarely hears about them. Most cases—at least 65 to 80 percent in the United States and the United Kingdom —occur sporadically (one or two at a time). Thus, only a small percentage of cases occur as part of the multicase outbreaks that sometimes make the news. Cases of the disease are seldom publicized even when lawsuits are involved, because most Legionnaires' lawsuits are settled quickly and under terms of confidentiality.
A case of Legionnaires' disease will go undetected unless special laboratory tests are performed. Unfortunately, most U.S. hospitals still have not made these tests routinely available. It is reasonable to assume that undetected cases of Legionnaires' are occurring because experience has shown that increased suspicion of the disease among physicians, when combined with increased patient testing, leads to more diagnoses. Some hospitals have recognized cases of Legionnaires' disease only after increased testing of patients with pneumonia. Likewise, in hospitals where only one to three cases of Legionnaires' were identified over several months, numerous additional cases were recognized after surveillance was intensified.
Studies of community-acquired pneumonia (cases acquired outside hospitals) have also indicated that increased surveillance leads to more diagnoses. A large-scale study in Ohio (U.S.A.) suggested that only 3 percent of sporadic cases of Legionnaires' disease were correctly diagnosed. By comparison, in studies in which diagnostic tests have been consistently used, Legionella has been recognized among the top three or four microbial causes of community-acquired pneumonia.
Because the symptoms of Legionnaires' are similar to those of other types of pneumonia, undetected cases of Legionnaires' disease end up being classified merely as pneumonia with no apparent cause. Based on CDC estimates, this means that 8 to 39 pneumonia deaths occur each week in the United States without anyone knowing that the cause was Legionella. What's worse is that many of these deaths could be prevented because, unlike most pneumonias, the source (e.g., a hot-water system) of Legionnaires' cases can be identified. But if Legionella is not recognized as the cause, no investigation ensues to pinpoint and disinfect the source, so the same source remains a threat.

late 14c., ele, "lateral division of a church (usually separated by a row of pillars), from Old French ele "wing (of a bird or an army), side of a ship" (12c., Modern French aile), from Latin ala, related to axilla "wing, upper arm, armpit; wing of an army," from PIE *aks- "axis" (see axis), via a suffixed form *aks-la-. The root meaning in "turning" connects it with axle and axis.
Confused 15c. with unrelated ile "island" (perhaps from notion of a "detached" part of a church), and so it took an -s- when isle did, c.1700; by 1750 it had acquired an a-, on the model of French cognate aile. The word also was confused with alley, which gave it the sense of "passage between rows of pews or seats" (1731), which was thence extended to railway cars, theaters, etc.

The Guilty Innocent is Book 2 in the 'Knights of the Darkness Chronicles'. While I have not read the first book in the series yet, the author give a great intro that gets the reader caught up to what has happened so far. In The Guilty Innocent, Natasha's best friend has been murdered and Darian, one of her very sexy and powerful vampire friends, has been framed for the murder. It is up to Natasha, Xavier (Darian's boyfriend), and a few of their associates to figure out why and by whom. Unfortunately, they only have 7 days before Darian goes to trial and as a very old and powerful vampire, he will not sit quietly back and be framed for something he did not do. In an effort to prevent a bloodbath, Natasha and the group must delve into why the Russian mafia is involved and figure out how to save Darian from a legal system that is jumping at the chance to convict such a powerful vampire. With Natasha's clairvoyance and a few very powerful friends, she jumps in ready to save a man that she has come to care very much about.
The Guilty Innocent
This is a very good length story and the author has put a lot of thought into the creation of a complex plot and well written characters. I thought Natasha was a nice balance between innocence and kick butt fighter. She holds her own against Eloise, one of the women helping clear Darian's name, but seems very shy when it comes to the needs of her male vampire friends. Vampire feedings tend to be sexual in nature and the guys' openness about this very basic need tends to embarrass her a bit. She is both feisty and reserved which makes for an interesting combination. Xavier and the other characters are equally well written. There is humor, angst, anger and tenderness between them all that gives the book a well rounded feel.
The story line of this book is fast paced and full of action. The group's trip to Russia to clear Darian's name is filled with adventure and it is easy to get caught up in the story. You really want to keep turning the pages to see what happens next. Gun yielding waiters, kidnapping, and general mayhem abound. There is also plenty of sexual tension and when Darian is finally cleared of the murder, he, Xavier and Natasha decide to make a go of the threesome they seem to be so drawn to. Depending on your comfort level when it comes to sex, you may or may not enjoy that aspect of the book. However, the story is almost all plot, character development and mystery with only a tad bit of sex thrown in to keep things interesting. I think the author did a good job making sure that the book was about the story and not the sex. Although, the scenes between them are definitely steamy!
There were a few things I might have changed about the book…I really wish that Darian had played a bigger part in it instead of being stuck in jail for the entire book. For someone who played such a major part of the plot, we really didn't get to know him at all. Also, this book is written totally from Natasha's perspective so I felt at times that I didn't get to know Xavier all that well either. He seemed to have more of a story to tell than I got to hear. In general, though, I enjoyed the book and and it was definitely a page turner.

At CPAC 2016 the tenor and tone towards the GOP candidates has been generally mild. On Friday morning that tone shifted and it shifted powerfully.
Governor John Kasich (R-OH) has little to no support among the CPAC attendees but the other three major candidates; Ted Cruz , Donald Trump and Marco Rubio each have vocal factions in attendance. This split in the crowd has ensured that the speeches had remained fairly vague in their attacks on the candidates until Tea Party Patriots leader, Jenny Beth Martin took to the stage. In her short but powerful speech, Martin ravaged Donald Trump and explained in detail why he should be anathema to any one who considers themselves a Tea Party conservative.
But Jenny Beth Martin wasn't the only Friday speaker to take Donald Trump to task, so to did conservative talk radio star, Mark Levin. Levin was not as direct in his speech, refusing to name Trump directly, but he was completely clear in what he was saying.

I saw monks immolate themselves in the 1970s to protest various events, including the war in Vietnam. Then, I hear here and there of persons committing suicide. It is sad, I feel in each case, but I never gave it further thought. Not even in the case of an acquaintance who, apparently, did not want to live. Kamal, a Kabyle we had known briefly, was a very well-mannered and nice young man in his late twenties. During social events, his conversations were mere statements he made briefly with a seemingly forced smile that would make one think he'd rather not say anything if he had the choice. We nearly befriended him. Looking back, it should not have been difficult to realize that the smiles he could hardly sustain naturally were signs of absent mindedness, as though a preoccupation were keeping him out of focus. Not long after we had met him, we learned that he committed suicide; his entourage already knew about his chronic depression and it finally happened after many previous suicide attempts. That was a case of medical condition.
Now, I see youth self-immolation spread in the Kabyle community for other reasons. Unlike Kamal, those who survive have the opportunity to explain their desperate act; and the fact that they are sober to provide an explanation, their neurons must still be spinning in the right direction. Putting it in street language, they are not crazy, but desparate. The ultimate spark is despair, the cause of hopelessness. What's left when hope is lost?
Young people everywhere in Algeria, big cities and villages, wander aimlessly every day. Looking around, walking down the street, it takes no analytical brain to observe discontent in people's demeanor. The expression on their faces, their pace, their movements send out very clear messages which betray their state of mind. There is a striking difference between an active person's demeanor walking along with a purpose in mind and that of a passive person whose life is idle. Idle individuals with no jobs and no daily agenda get up every morning with no knowledge of their fate. Some have even lost the notion of time, their sleep schedule is disturbed as they can afford to go to bed and get up as they feel. These young men, many of whom earned a college degree, are no delinquents. They found themselves trapped in the labyrinth of an unstructured country's governance, where everyone is the boss and no one is responsible. During a recent visit Home, my daughter could not but observe the same faces hanging out at the street corner every day, with a self-conscious look, nearly éfarouché, that seemed to be calling for help to take them away, anywhere. At first, she wondered how these young men can afford the time to gather and socialize for hours. Later, she learned that they were "hittistes", or lads who have nothing to do but hang out. One afternoon, in the heat of an Algerois summer, she caught herself choking and could not breathe. Then she sobbed. When she came back to her senses, she explained that at the sight of the young pack, apparently full of life, she felt for them as their youth is wasted day in day out. Her emotions were disturbed by a mere observation. How do these so-called Hittistes keep their sanity, while they are victims of a shaky structure? No man with a twig of reasoning ability can even claim having an idea of what it is to be trapped in idleness with no chance of escape, which nurtures evil thoughts. The recent protests, which have not spared one Arab country, characterize the mind of these forgotten youth whose reaction has challenged the leadership's ethics. And their governments shamelessly call them drug addicts in Libya and hazb faransa in Algeria (Arabic for French party, or simply, traitors). How dare they?
Many families sacrificed the bulk of their income to educate their children who end up in an environment of social dysfunction under the nation's poor governance. This is tough, especially for the young who need to expand their energy physically, mentally, and intellectually.
One may wonder how we got here, but it is really not anything new. Today's youth are the grandchildren of post-independent Algeria. Their parents, themselves, grew up under the thumb of a single regime, with one self-proclaimed president, one newspaper, one radio, one TV station – one voice. These very people ironically taught us the evil of dictatorship and the injustice of capitalism. This type of government structure, copied from the eastern block and put in place after the independence by those who may have meant well, destroyed all incentives. They were lured by the promise of the Marxist utopia of human equality. The controlling elite were of course excluded from the evil side of that utopia and, whether through ignorance or careful planning, it was never explained to the little guys in the street, the citizens, whom they brag about liberating from the French yoke. Instead, they controlled everything and they impoverished them, neglected and humiliated them – all equally, indeed. As a faculty in an Algerian university, I lined up at five in the morning to buy a loaf of bread, and we had to fill buckets with water as it was cut off for the major part of the day during which some privileged neighbors were washing their cars. As time spoke, the socialist and communist ideology crumbled, because the human factor was not included in the equation of the country's development. The social liberties became a privilege, which depended on personal connections. Young men were arrested on such sorry things as letting their hair grow long à la Beatles or wearing pattes d'éléphant (bell-bottom) pants. That was the western world materialistic debauchery, so they say.
Our liberators' successors, these brilliant hypocrites who have had a chance to learn and should know how to better run a country for the good of their fellow citizens, hide their sneaky doings behind a fake democratic façade, with no respect for the word democracy itself, a word still engraved on the Nation's name. They live a shiny lifestyle, while our youth wander about the streets of Algeria in flip-flops, not able to afford a pair of shoes. One would think that, in their positions as public servants, it should at least occur to them to do something of social value. Instead, to add insult to injury, they flash arrogantly their luxurious façade at the down-and-outs; especially the neglected young people, some of whom are college educated. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but time follows its course and never waits while these bullied souls see the best years of their lives pass by helplessly. This is legalized bullying that builds frustration, leads to despair and ultimately to suicide. The strong take it to the street. Others, overcome by despair, end their suffering by taking their own lives. No one with a hint of sanity should have to do such a thing. Just like children at school, grownup citizens are also bullied to their limit. Bullying in schools is an act of childhood ignorance; government bullying is premeditated evil.
So, it appears that the classic pattern of producing good citizens has not been followed. Considering the big picture, the full time job of a kid is to learn, play – which is another means of learning – and rest. Academic learning takes place in schools. Performing schools require resources. With all the natural wealth in Algeria, one would think that we should have one of the best educational systems money can buy. Instead, much greater effort was put into establishing governance built on demagoguery than building a strong country. As a faculty, I noticed that students in our universities have no linguistic skills, let alone communication skills. Rare were those who could express themselves entirely in one language, if not uncomfortably. As medicine and sciences in general were taught in a foreign language to students who graduated from an entirely Arabized secondary school system, a jargon that is essentially an amalgamation of French and Arabic evolved naturally and became the only working communication tool among students.
The playing element in a child upbringing is yet something else; it requires the involvement of the entire village to teach compassion, ethics, self-respect and patriotism – values. This is the role of the community, which requires leaders who, themselves, need resources to create an environment for children to grow. Then whose responsibility is it? Since everything is run by the government, including interfering with citizens' private affairs, one would trust that the government ought to put forth expert bodies in various areas to care about a child's future. These children are the future backbone of our country, unless this obscure future is inherited by the controlling elite that are groomed with the intent of carrying on the vulture legacy, as we commonly see it in Arab countries.
People are hungry for food and freedom. That is reality. Yet, they have been called drug addicts by the very governments whose mission it is to protect them. Our leaders throne themselves to manage the country's wealth, but leave the responsibility of training good citizens to the community with empty hands, a community whose members already lack experience or are even uneducated.
So is the sorry environment in which an average child grows up in Algeria, an environment that incubates everything but goodness.

Post subject: Warning about version 5,2,7
Please be aware Memory Map have now introduced a license activation system for PC, PDA, Phone and other options within this new software, it requires online connections to create an account.
I applaud any measure against software piracy, but this system is far from intuitive in use, to be honest I now have maps that are purchased and paid for that I have little knowledge of which portable devices I can use them on, all at once or one at a time - the instructions are non existent.
Next step will be to remove this rubbish from the PC and return back to the version 5 software that shipped on the disks I purchased. The downside is that I cannot use the MS Smartphone with the early version 5 Memory Map software, but that wasn't very good in use in my opinion so there is little lost.
Whilst the UK site is back up and running their tech support forum isn't working as yet, I would ask any users of this product to think long and hard about upgrading to the new version due to all the hoops you have to jump through just to get what I would class as basic functionality from the software you own, as a user with over ten Mobile devices I am not going to bother with this version any longer, neither will I be upgrading in the future. If I want new OS mapping on the PC and portable devices there are other suppliers with software that is easy to use and the maps are just as good - Mike

I hear you!.
about this a while ago, too many companies are going this way, and in most cases the whole complicated procedure is ineffective in its aims and just alienates people.
Anyway it can't be as bad as Anquet, as i described
(can it?).
The only company left for UK mapping without all this crap is Tracklogs, and who knows, they might take the same route.

Have a look at
it is no where near as bad as jumping through hoops like this and they even offer a decent way to purchase smaller areas for those one off trips rather than huge coverage of which you only use 2% - Sure its not as feature filled as the Memory Map but it works very well for me, although since purchasing the SatMap device I have little need for the Topo Maps on the PC, I just find it very annoying when a company changes tack (for the right reason - anti piracy) but creates a stupid illogical system that does nothing but frustrate someone who has purchased their products and has a right to use the full capability that was available when the software was sold.
Perhaps Memory Map should make available via download the MM5 software that would run on the non touch screen Microsoft Smart Phone as well as the PDA without all this baggage - that is where this all started, I only wanted to update to a software version that has now been superseded following a new PC update, still the newer stuff isn't on the PC any more, I spent an hour getting rid of it - Mike

I've just bought NZ maps which are v5.2.7.
The maps, of course, are not supported by v5.1.3 so you are forced to upgrade to v5.2.7.
The online help files state "Most packages include resources for use on two Windows machines and two mobile device", but the product pages say nothing about this.
There is a "Licence migration" process, say if your PC hard drive crashes or you lose your PDA SD card, but it's described in the vaguest of terms, allowing for Memory Map's to decide if you are fibbing or not.
Aside from the hassle of enabling PCs and PDAs, it's pretty apparent that if anything happens Memory Map as a company, you will be left without any means of activating the software or migrating licences. You only have to look at the music DRM situation eg MSN closed it's music store, and refused to issue any new licences. Or DRM forces you to upgrade Windows media player to the point where it no longer works with your PDA.
Time to look elsewhere I fear.

Are you sure about this? I don't know about the NZ maps (and haven't bought any MM maps since the v5.2.7 software was introduced), but in the past, MM Ordnance Survey maps have always been backwards compatible (e.g. v5 maps will run in MM2004) but the OS license does not allow them to be forwards compatible, i.e. you cannot use the "new" features of upgraded software with "old" maps. Is it that you were only supplied with a v5.2.7 style of license key so cannot run the v5.1.3 software fully?
The loss of backwards compatibility would have very severe repercussions for the OS maps. A user's investment particularly in the 1:25k OS maps can amount to hundreds or even thousands of Pounds and MM would destroy their credibility if additional maps cannot be purchased to use with existing maps in the same software.
But at least the
NZ technical forum
is still available to discuss such matters, unlike the demise of their UK forum which, together with the almost total lack of even bug fixes for around 3 years, doesn't inspire much confidence in MM products now.
Cheers, Alan.

Yes, the NZ maps are in a different format with a prefix of "crytp_".
V5.1.3 declares that this is an unknown format.
On v5.2.7 the map list screen is slightly different. The new maps have green tick or red X in front of the file name, depending on whether the licence has been activated or not. Another thing to note was that I could no longer import images and calibrate maps once the application was licenced. It seems bizzare that the free version will allow imports but the licenced version won't, and requires an licence upgrade from the Discoverer to the Navigator version. To further confuse this seems to be dependent on the build version of 5.2.7.
Of course you can run the OS v5.1.3 and the non OS version 5.2.7 side by side, however it would not suprise me that the new licencing on 5.2.7 will be enough to satisfy OS special requirements, which would enable a single software version.
Memory map have already stated that previous licences can be migrated over to the new system.

I think the licencing is fairly good, there are not many software providers who allow you to install their program on four devices.
I had a problem with the new licence in that it licenced my mobile twice and I had to get MM to undo it so I could licence my second mobile device.
I have found the the overlays are not backwards compatible between 5.1.3 and 5.2.7.
I do like the way on the mobile devices on 5.2. that when you reach the maximum or minimum level of zoom it switches to the next scale of map.
I do wish they would put a bit of effort into the smartphone version so that it supports tracks and routes like the PDA version. I know it would be difficult to plot a route without a touch screen but I normally produce the routes on the PC then export them.

I know this is an old thread but it actually got me thinking.
What is it about the new registration/licencing process that you dont like?
Sure its slightly more restrictive than previous versions in regards to installing on multiple devices, in that it you can now only use the software on 2 PCs and 2 Mobile Devices or SD Cards but isnt that what the terms and conditions of the Memory-Map product are and always were?
In fact I think that being allowed to use it on 2 PCs and 2 Mobile Devices or SD Cards is plenty for the majority of users. I know it is for me.

With 15 different fully working PDA devices that I own, I am sure you can see a bit of problem - I don't always use the same hardware when going walking, and having a restriction such as this imposed on me by a so called "software upgrade" that wasn't there previously do I need to say any more? - Mike

Worth noting that when you move a licence from one device to another that the old device cannot be activated again.
So in my case I have activated a Smartphone licence to see if if the client now supports routes, as suggested by the website. It doesn't, so its of no use to me, so I'll use the licence for a PPC device instead. However it means that, in theory I'll never be able to use the Smartphone again if the client is ever updated.

Post subject: Now up to 5.4.2
Maybe it's worth reviving this thread as MM has now gone through several more "upgrades" to currently v5.4.2 (strangely v5.2.7 doesn't even appear in the
Release Notes
However, there are few real enhancements or bug-fixes and interestingly Educational and Commercial users are instructed to use v5.1.3 (which is still available for download).
The main feature of the new software is to use the Digital Map Shop, no doubt a convenience, but at a price! The DMS license enforces installation on only
PC and
mobile device, compared with the license of two of each for "normal" (.QCT) maps, yet the price per map area is similar. Furthermore, "mobile device" refers only to PDAs, so it appears you can't install a DMS area on both a PC and a laptop/netbook (except by paying for the same area twice).
Personally, I'll be sticking with .QCT "Off-the-Shelf" and Selections mapping as long as possible, particularly if it can be found discounted to less than DMS prices.
Cheers, Alan.

I have given up with MM and just use Quo or the web based route planner by the "the hug" (try google to find the site if you need to) both these offer less capability than MM but they work very well and are more than capable of offering me a solution to route planning on the PC.
I also use the SatMap route planner from time to time, again this offers adequate capability for my needs when using the active10, MM have got far too restrictive recently and still charge a very high price for maps when compared to whats available for PC based route planning - Mike

Forget Formula One: in the 1950s and early 1960s, motorsport's centre of gravity was the sports car world championship. And it was in this fiery crucible that the name Ferrari first became truly mythologised.
The Scuderia produced a bewildering array of racing cars during this era, often mixing and matching components, and developing ad hoc solutions as the need arose. However, the 250 Testa Rossa elevates itself above the rest on a purely empirical basis thanks to its three overall wins at Le Mans (1958, '60, and '61), leading to constructor's titles for Ferrari in those same years, but also because the TR is about as beautiful as any racing car has ever been. (Feel free to nominate your choices below…)
Only 34 were made, most survive (although at least one was immolated not once but twice, and another had to endure the ignominy of seeing its V12 replaced with a Chevy V8), and they are now amongst the most desirable and valuable of all Ferraris in the ultra high-end collector's market. That's partly down to narrative and back story, things the mid-1950s competition scene was scarcely lacking in. It was also a time when some of Ferrari's most revered drivers – Wolfgang Von Trips, Peter Collins, Phil Hill, Mike Hawthorn – also competed in world sports car racing.

Best Pillow for Neck Pain
If you suffer from neck pain, it is important that you seek medical advice for ongoing issues or for severe pain. However, those of you with just a little discomfort or occasional pain might be looking for a few sleeping aids that can help in your plight for a good night's sleep. Those with more severe or ongoing pain could also benefit from complementing medical advice with a good quality pillow that is both supportive and soft but breathable at the same time. Here I'll be reviewing a range of products designed for people with neck pain.
60% Polyester 40% Bamboo
Hypoallergenic & dust mite resistant
Machine washable
5 Year Warranty
Ideal for all sleep positions
Shredded Memory Foam Pillow with Bamboo Cover Review
First let's take a look at the 'shredded memory foam pillow' from Coop Home Goods. Priced below $55, it's available in two different sizes, Queen and King and is made from small pieces of memory foam, which allow the user to fluff up or thin out the pillow as desired to find the perfect amount of support.
CertiPUR-US foam is used that is flame retardant and made without heavy metals and chemicals. It's also hypoallergenic, so sufferers of allergies shouldn't worry and the bamboo fabric and foam used is dust mite resistant. It's machine washable and is backed up with a 5 year warranty, so you know you're getting a quality product which Coop Goods claims won't go flat during that time!
Reviews for this product are great overall and many reviewers have claimed that problems with stiff necks have disappeared. There is a couple of claims of smells which can be rectified with washing the pillow and throwing it in the dryer, so a small issue really. Importantly, there is a history dating back a number of years, so it seems that there is a long standing level of high satisfaction with this pillow.
Maintains proper head and neck alignment
Designed with natural curves that form to your body
Perfect for neck support, support, shoulder pain & snoring
Machine Washable
Lifetime Guarantee
Memory Foam Contour Pillow By Vive Review
Moving on to the "memory foam contour pillow' by Vive. It claims to be the best orthopaedic support for neck pain relief by maintaining correct head and neck alignment. At 20" wide, it's the size of a regular pillow. It's made from NASA grade high density memory foam and designed with a curve that forms to the shape of your body.
This is solid memory foam though, so unlike the shredded foam pillow, there's no fluffing up or flattening out. Vive claim that this is perfect for neck and shoulder support and can even help with snoring – a bold claim that will intrigue every partner of a snorer! Supplied with the pillow is a breathable cover that is removable and machine washable.
Again, reviews are generally very good for this neck pain pillow, but there are some claims of very strong chemical smells. A few smells are to be expected with anything that's been packaged up, but very strong odors, or out-gassing, has been a concern in the past and there is the potential that this could actually be the release of harmful chemicals.
What might be another concern is that some claim the pillow is very hard and whilst support is an important factor in helping with neck pain and stiffness, the pillow must also be comfortable. If firm support isn't your thing and you want something a little softer, you might be advised to think twice before investing in this product.
Adaptable to all sleeping positions
Luxuriously soft & heat reducing
Hypoallergenic & fully machine washable
Air-Vent ™ Heat Reducing Cover Fabric
Recommended for proper neck support and spinal alignment
Memory Foam Contour Pillow By Vive Review
Finally, the last pillow in this best pillow for neck pain reviews rundown, the CozyCloud shredded bamboo memory foam pillow. Just like the offering from Coop Home Goods, it looks exactly like a regular pillow and is stuffed with small pieces of memory foam that do not require fluffing like a down filled pillow.
However, the main difference here is that the CozyCloud has been created by a chiropractor to aid correct alignment of your neck and spine and because the design forms to the shape of your neck, head and shoulders, it allows you to find the perfect compromise between support and comfort. Of course, comfort is just as important as support in terms of neck pain relief – if you're not comfortable and spend much of the night moving around, it doesn't matter how supportive your pillow is and it will only exasperate the pain in your neck!
Heat transference is excellent too as the CozyCloud is wrapped in a heat reducing cover. This should help you to stay cool and comfortable all night long. At a price below $55, it's equally the most expensive option along side the 'shredded memory foam pillow' from Coop Home Goods, but the CozyCloud comes with a 10 year warranty and the endorsement of a qualified doctor of chiropractic. it is also considered as one of the best pillows for side sleepers.
With the remaining two options, things are not so clear cut. Both Coop Home Goods' pillow and the CozyCloud offer a very similar design of shredded foam. Both companies also purport to using top grade American made foams, both are hypoallergenic and both are available in two different sizes. They're also both equally priced.
With all that said, the CozyCloud is definitely the best choice. It combines all these features with a 10 year warranty and the backing of a medical professional. However, there's very little between them and I suspect you couldn't go wrong with either, should the CozyCloud not be available!

Quotes after qualifying in Shanghai
Ingolstadt/Shanghai, November 27, 2010 - The qualifying for the DTM's finale in Shanghai (China) was marked by numerous incidents which affected the Audi squad as well. Quotes after the turbulent qualifying.
Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich (Head of Audi Motorsport)
"First, I'd like to pay a big compliment to the organizers. To create such a completely new street circuit from scratch in a really short time is a major feat. There has definitely been a huge effort invested here. That this could also harbor a few problems here and there was to be expected. But it's also clear that such a track doesn't forgive any mistakes. We felt the full force of that today. First, Darryl (O'Young) wanted a little bit too much and then Timo (Scheider) lost his car in the fastest corner. That meant we lost any chance of starting from the first row. For tomorrow's race we can say that it'll be won by those who'll make the fewest mistakes."
Timo Scheider (GW:plus/Top Service Audi A4 DTM #1), grid position 4
"Our strategy was right. We waited a little and then used just one set of tires each time. The sessions were repeatedly stopped due to various accidents. This is what determined the qualifying in the end. Then my own accident happened. While running on a painted directional arrow I lost the car and turned in hard. Thank God, nothing happened to me personally. The car is heavily damaged. Looking at the pictures, we're fortunate that Martin (Tomczyk) showed such a good reaction. If I hadn't turned away toward the inside but had flown toward the outside there might have been another collision. So I got off lightly and am on the second row."
Markus Winkelhock (Playboy/GW:plus Audi A4 DTM #14), grid position 5
"The result is good. It's my best result in qualifying this year. Still, I'm not completely happy. Third place would have been possible. I could have driven even faster because my best lap wasn't perfect. So I'm pleased on the one hand and a bit frustrated on the other but, on the whole, I'm not unhappy."
Miguel Molina (Audi Bank A4 DTM #18), grid position 7
"The first two parts of the session went particularly well. In the third part I would have needed more laps to get the tires to warm up more. You pick up speed on each lap here. In the end I finished seventh. Now we're in for a race in which overtaking will be difficult. So a good strategy will be crucial."
Martin Tomczyk (Red Bull Cola Audi A4 DTM #6), grid position 8
"The qualifying became a bit mixed up due to the red flags. On the whole, I was pretty pleased. At the very end, Timo (Scheider) spun in front of me. It was extremely fortunate that I managed to get past him. Otherwise it would have been a lot worse. The good part is that we were able to prevent this. The bad part is that I was driving my fastest sector times exactly on this lap, but wasn't able to finish it. Still: safety and the health of other drivers are more important."
Mattias Ekstrom (Red Bull Audi A4 DTM #5), grid position 9
"We still made some technical changes during the session. Now I'm very happy with our car. Unfortunately, our strategy didn't work out in the end. We took a bit of a gamble to achieve more. In summary, I can say that I'm pleased with the car as well as with my own performance, but we didn't clinch the position we wanted."
Oliver Jarvis (Tabac Original Audi A4 DTM #2), grid position 10
"Although my car remained unharmed the qualifying was very difficult. We had planned a good strategy. But unfortunately the red flags were waved at the most unfortunate times for me. I didn't manage a single free lap up to qualifying 3. The problem was that I wasn't feeling the grip of the tires in Q1 and Q2. When I felt grip in Q3 the tires had gone past the point of their best performance. Q1 and Q2 would have been very important for my self-confidence."
Mike Rockenfeller (S line Audi A4 DTM #10), grid position 13
"Q1 was going well. Then the red flag came. It was difficult to find a rhythm afterwards. In Q2 our timing was wrong when I went out. Honestly speaking, the same happened to us again in Q3. On the whole, the situation was a bit chaotic. Three or four of my laps were destroyed by Mercedes drivers. They were all running at low speeds in the penultimate turn to pick up momentum afterwards. That was a shame because I'd gained two or three tenths on each lap up to that point. That was difficult. My qualifying was over then. 13th place is disappointing. However, I'm sure that a lot can happen in the race here. I'm also hoping it will, but not to me!"
Katherine Legge (Glamour Audi A4 DTM #15), grid position 14
"Although the result is one of my better ones this year I'd have had to do a much better job yet. On my last lap, when the red flag came, I was four tenths faster than before. Obviously that's disappointing because I know that we could have been much quicker. But with so much having gone on, the fact that I made it through qualifying unscathed is a bonus in itself. Now I'm looking forward to Sunday. I'm sure it'll be an interesting race."
Darryl O'Young (Du Shi Li Ren Audi A4 DTM #9), grid position 18
"The team prepared an excellent car for me. My Audi felt very good. I was gaining self-confidence. Everything was going well until I slipped in an apex in one of the turns. As a result, I hit the track barrier in the penultimate corner. Something was damaged in the process and I hit the opposite wall too. It's simply very narrow there and a single mistake costs you dearly. I'm very disappointed. The last thing I wanted was to have an accident. But it was the qualifying session and I wanted to set a fast time."
Hans-Jurgen Abt (Team Director Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline)
"You could see that this circuit doesn't forgive anything. It's also very difficult to keep the car on the track on this slippery surface. In Timo's (Scheider) case you could clearly see how quickly something can happen. He had a very severe accident. Our other cars were on a fast lap when the qualifying was stopped. That's too bad because in total the result doesn't look good. Now we've got to prepare Timo's car again by Sunday. And I'm sure that we'll be seeing a thrilling race."
Ernst Moser (Team Director Audi Sport Team Phoenix)
"The positive thing is that Darryl (O'Young) is okay. It's a shame that the first qualifying was stopped by the red flag. At that time he was running pretty far at the front and setting superb times. But then he must have gotten overambitious. He was always running at the limit in Q2, no matter where you could watch him on the TV screens. He went as far as he could but then unfortunately turned in a little too early and touched the wall. 'Rocky' didn't get beyond tenth place in any of the three sessions. That makes me angry. I had thought that we were quicker. We could have been three or four places better than position 13 but were slowed twice - once by CongFu Cheng and once by Maro Engel. Maybe we would have made it into the top ten. But that would have been the maximum. This is frustrating and we've got to find out what the reasons were."
Arno Zensen (Team Director Audi Sport Team Rosberg)
"We knew that the qualifying was going to be thrilling. But the sessions being stopped twice was really a shocker. That's why I'm happy for two reasons: Thank God we didn't end up with any scrap on Saturday afternoon. In addition, Markus (Winkelhock) has been running fast throughout the weekend. Although he feels that a little more would have been possible, I'm very pleased with fifth place. He's the second-best Audi driver. 'Well done,' he deserves it. Congratulations to Katherine (Legge) as well. Due to the problem in the morning she almost didn't get to drive at all. In qualifying she achieved pretty good times. If it hadn't been for the stop of the session she'd have even made up a few places."

Post Edited (smileytex) : 4/20/2009 9:25:55 AM (GMT-6)
Eva, I'm glad that you found us, but sorry that you need to be here. Yours is certainly an unusual situation. At this point, are you just separated? Is it legal or did he just leave? Was the marriage in trouble before this, or did he just decide to move out because of his diagnoses? Every person has the right to decide if he/she wants treatment or not. You might want to retain a lawyer to see if you can get access to his medical records. This might be a possibility if you are still married. However, even knowing what is going on may not be of much help if he doesn't want treatment. Has he stopped drinking?
For the moment, the best thing you can do is to read some of our educational threads on the main Hepatitis page (they will have Education in the title or Symptoms.) Sleeping a lot and getting days and nights mixed up is very common. As to the weight loss: Is he taking any diuretics? This can cause an immediate drop in weight if he was retaining fluid. He could have encephalopathy if his ammonia is elevated. There is an educational thread on that, as well.
You will get a lot of support and information here, so please come back often.
Post Edited (hep93) : 4/20/2009 12:34:28 PM (GMT-6)
Eva, I think there is a big concern about leaving your young children with him unsupervised. You may need to have the visitation order altered, if there is one, to not allow him to be alone with either or both of them due to his medical condition. The personality changes could be either elevated ammonia or the bipolar disorder. Is he taking meds for the bipolar?
I think the only thing you can do is to tell him what you have told us: Essentially that you want to help him in any way possible, and ask that you be let into his life to help him deal with the disease. Of course, you would do this when he is calm and in a receptive mood. Due to the memory problems, he really needs someone with him during the doctor visits. about the itching and the doctors not picking up on that being related to liver disease: Primary care docs, and others not specializing in liver disease, are not really knowledgeable about the disease.
I wish I could offer more help, but without his cooperation you are very limited in what you can do for him.

Hive Management
In this section you'll find an overview of the kinds of activities that you should be conducting each season. Lacelle's Apiary is here to support you in this process; if you have questions, we'd be delighted to help!
Seasonal management pages
Early Spring
- Spring should be a time for beekeepers to be primarily concerned with sufficient food stores and checking for disease and mite control.
- In the Fall bees normally cluster between the combs near the bottom of the stored honey.
- During the winter, they gradually eat their way upwards.
- As the cluster reaches the top of the hive, food reserves may be depleted.
- Bees will not go down to get food in cold weather weather even if it is present.
- If the cluster is near the top of hive, emergency feeding may be necessary.
- Bees will not take sugar syrup if the temperature's are to cold (below 10 Deg C), also the bees have problems inverting the sucrose and handling the excess water.
- You can feed frames of honey if you are certain they are disease free. Place the frames of honey as close as possible to the cluster without disrupting it.
- Another way to supplement food stores is to feed sugar blocks, placed directly on the cluster with a spacer.
- Supplemental feeding should be continued until natural supplies of nectar become available or the bees may starve.
- For ready made supplemental sugar feeder blocks click this link: http://lacellesapiary.com/collections/feeds-treatments/products/late-winter-feed
Late Spring-April-Early May
- Check your colonies- are they alive
- check for pollen stores: check the weight
- May need pollen supplement
- Weather permitting- Spring Cleaning- Unwrap Hives and clean colonies
- Remove dead colonies and determine cause of death.
- Check your colonies for queen status,(check for presence of eggs, brood ) strength, disease and parasites.
- Check colony strength- bees, brood, honey and pollen stores.

EURUSD seems to have completed its long term retracement and it seems that it is now aiming to break 1.4200 level. Once EURUSD manages to break above 1.4200 level, the long term upward trend will be resuming itself. The EURUSD took a good dip today and gave some good entry levels below 1.4100 level and at the same time provided traders with opportunities who had sold EURUSD for short term trades.
Currently it seems that traders will be focusing on buying EURUSD around 1.4140 levels for long term targets well around 1.4340 level. It will not only resume the upward trend but also open up the upward move which can extend well above 1.4600 level.
RSI is above 63 and it seems that it has more than enough space for EURUSD to make a move towards 1.4340 level. If we consider the moving averages, all three of them are very much indicating the upward trend so basically the traders will be looking to enter at some reasonable level.
Not only the long term traders can benefit from this situation but also the Intra-day traders will be having some good trading chances. The Intra-day trader will just focus on buying EURUSD for retracement dips and they will get some intra-day traders.

Top tilt latch match
A home owner from Demarest, NJ says:
March 18, 2016
I bought the the sash lock in the picture (26-121) attached but it is just slightly different from the original. Do you have one that matches?
Paul from SWISCO responded:
March 21, 2016
I'm sorry to hear the 26-121 didn't work for you. Before we recommend anything else, can you give me the distance between the two installation holes, measured from the center of each hole? Can you also give me the distance between the front-end hole (measured from the center) and the front edge of the latch? For reference, this same measurement is 3/4" on the 26-121.

If you do not live in the south and are not a football fan, but follow my blog, you will get bored quick during the fall. We go to a.lot. of football games around here and I'm a proud UT Vol fan. And all of a sudden in the blink of an eye football is upon us.
And due to my new little business venture, I have been super busy and forgot to post any pics from the first game, and now we're past game two (both wins by the way).
Go Vols! let the football season begin! Although I'm posting two games, I am going to pause here and tell you we reached a HUGE, SUPREME milestone in the Stribling household. The babes attended their FIRST Vols football game. Thats a big deal, ya'll.
Babes First Football Game
UT vs Western Kentucky University
September 7, 2013
Coached by Butch Jones
Vols win 52-20
They tailgated, loved the Vol Walk, loved the band, and loved the food. Football? Eh. We made it to the end of the first quarter. But that was pretty good for a super crowded game and 150 degrees. We got there about three hours before the game, so all in all I think they did well. If the stadium wasn't so crowded and I wasn't concerned every second on if they were bothering someone, they may could have stayed longer.
|Me and my sister, Leslie, totally cheesing.
|On Moi:
Boutique dress/necklace. (hmm, wish I knew the rest, but was purchased from my little Instagram shop)
|Part of our little tailgating crew. The first game wasn't as crowded.
|Second game. Sadly, as BIG as a photographer as I am, and as bothersome as I am that person with a camera at all times, I didn't take any of their first game!!!! WTH is wrong with me?? So, my sister took this one of them at the Vol Walk.
|Our only, measly family pic at the game. How sad is that? And yes, thats as big as it is. Dang phone pic.
|Our tailgate crew from the second game. My how times have changed from college parties to kiddos!! Two sets of twin kids in this pic too!

Hallow's Scars
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
great for a first attempt at this style
just to let people know, this project was as sepulture123 describes, like a demo, being that we wanted to try a new style of gameplay than the tankmen: battle turn based style.
we also used new animations and with 2 artists we had time to develop upon more enemies to keep the content lasting a little longer.
we know there are a few(lot) of things that could be fixed or tweaked to better the gameplay and overall experience, but mainly the problems were on the coding side of things and our coder was limited to flash 8 which has limitations in itself and problems in moving codes between flash 8 and to cs5.5 which c01 used to bring the whole game together.
