I'm not entirely sure what The CW is smoking as of late, so let's just roll with this one for now. It was earlier this week when we learned that the network had ordered a pilot for Joe Hill's "Tales from the Darkside" adaptation, and now they're eyeing yet another potential series by the name of "Cheerleader Death Squad". While the name of the series sounds way more interesting than the actual show, I'm sure there's quite a few people who might want to check this one out. The image above, by the way, is from ALL CHEERLEADERS DIE, who I wouldn't mind seeing in a death squad of their own! Read on for the goods!
Per Variety, "Cheerleader Death Squad" comes from "Desperate Housewives" and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" producers Marc Cherry, Neal Baer, Dan Truly and Sabrina Wind.
The one-hour pilot follows a former CIA agent-turned-teacher who realizes that his elite students at a Washington, D.C., prep school have high level access through their personal connections — and trains them to be his eyes and ears in the world of international espionage so he can make his way back into the CIA.
Cherry ("Desperate," "Devious Maids"), Baer ("SVU," "ER," "Under the Dome") and Truly ("SVU") are exec producing and writing the pilot, with Wind ("Desperate," "Devious Maids") serving as an exec producer. CBS Television Studios will produce.

The London Lightning could advance to the NBLC Finals for the fourth time in franchise history on Saturday when they visit the Windsor Express at the Atlas Lube Centre in Lakeshore, Ontario.
The Bolts could sweep their second-straight series and extend their win streak to 15 (regular season and playoffs), which would be a league record.
Windsor couldn't keep pace with London in Game 3 even though they were at home. The 122-97 loss is the most one-sided game of the series so far.
Tip-off has been set for 7 p.m. You can watch the game below or you can follow along on our Twitter feed.

My big girl is almost a young woman! Krysta turned 11 on the 23rd of February. I know it's like May now but I have had.....still have computer issues but hopefully we'll get a new one very soon.
Krysta had two celebrations this year. On her actual birthday she wanted to go to Dave & Buster's. A restaurant/bar/game area all in one. Each were on a different floor. So we ate at the restaurant and went to the 2nd floor to play the games. She had so much fun playing with her cousins, and running a muck. I think they played almost every game in there. After winning all that they could she got some prizes from the prize room. All in all it was a successful night.
Then that following saturday we went bowling at Hickam and she had a girlfriend from school come. We kind of sent the invites out late so pretty much no one could come except one. She didn't mind though. Everyone had fun! We bowled, laughed, teased each others bowling technique, ate cake, and went home tired. A very good birthday if you ask me.
This is how Krysta bowl's. What a granny! Look at that form!
Getting ready to sing happy birthday.
Krysta and her cousins Liana & Hailey.
We were all the way at the end so we didn't bother anyone.
Dave & Buster's night.
The babies had a GREAT time!
Happy birthday Krysta! We hope you enjoyed both your celebrations. We love you so much and want you to know that we will always be there for you. You have grown into such a beautiful young lady and dad and I are very proud of the person you are becoming and all that you have accomplished. You are so sweet and appreciate everything you do to help us.
We love you!
~love, your family

I really need to just flat-out refuse to show people I talk to on IM programs photographs. But I never learn…
I was talking to a guy I'd been talking to for about a week or so and I decided he wasn't creepy so I decided to share this photo with him:
It was going fine until he told me that I'd look nicer if I lost weight. I blew up at him, lectured him and told him how NOT OKAY. He apologized and then he made a negative body comment about Russian women, said they're all "soooooo fat." At that point I just blocked him.
What is it with people thinking that sharing a photo means an invitation to scrutinize and ridicule the body that someone else lives in? Now I feel all eating disorder triggered. I'm fighting it but it's so hard.

Manchester United 2015/16 Kit leaked
Manchester united is breaking the record for new deal with Adidas for the next 10 years. Adidas isn't new to Manchester United as they had them in early 90s.
If the leaked pictures are to be real kit for next season , i would defiantly feel disappointed. Its not the start of world breaking record deal for Manchester United. They should had a better design for sure.

This is a close-up view of my first placemat. The center is at the top. It's in lovely Peaches-n-Cream yarn, which Jody and I could not find more of over the weekend (eek). Must next try Wal-Mart.
This one was made according to the instructions, with the center starting out as a circle, which had to be sewn closed. It does not particularly look nice in the center, so I am trying other methods.
The rest of it looks pretty good, though, and it is placemat-sized. Lee ate off of it yesterday and didn't even spill sauce.
I started the second one yesterday, using the magic cast on for toe-up socks. The cast on looks gorgeous (will post a picture), but, after I was well into the mat, I realized the ends looked funny--they curve. Then it dawned on me that you actually start each "round" on a corner, not the middle, so the cast-on did not remain parallel. I have been thinking and thinking of how to get it all balanced, and think it will involve casting on one stitch at each end (the base stitch to the short sides of the placemat rectangle, then knitting until I get to where the round really should start. I should draw a picture. So, I figure that placemat #3 will actually be the first "good" one.

Hidden in a wet wasteland at the far end of an abandoned asphalt road (yes, it was being invaded by weeds growing even into asphalt), there it was! A gorgeous stand of phragmites australis AKA the common reed:
To be perfectly honest, at the beginning i doubted it was even phragmites: wounding the stems didn't produce any sugary sap. The stem itself was rather fibrous..
Exactly not the vibe I was expecting to feel, I even thought that could have been some phalaris spp. (totally useless to me) but then a quick check over google confirmed the contact. I dismissed my disappointment and thought those plants were already on an advanced phase of the season :\
I tried pulling one out but the stem broke at the base... hmm probably the rhizome was just beneath but I didn't have time nor equipment to dig and investigate.
Then let's talk about the panicles. They look right what they should look, but on a close examination they were still flowering. Hmm it seems I'll have to wait at least 1-2 months before I can harvest any seeds. Weird..
On a side note, there were quite a few plants growing (and doing acceptably well) on normal moist land: that is unexpected.. If I get it correctly the rhizomes were actually running into the water bodies as I read they could be up to 6-10m long.
Hmm I'm not dismissing phragmites australis, on the PFAF database it has an edibility rating of 5 which is unusual. Therefore I need to evaluate it at other stages of growth.
Now then, on moist land I would grow it for the seeds and because it has a tendency to stabilize and increase soil depth, but I should be really growing it on wet soil for its rhizomes and delicious sprouts.
The biomass it produces is pretty high with figures around 40-60 tons/hectare (dry weight? O_O) and it should have a usable sugar content in the stem and roots.
Time will tell.

before shredding the stage:
after shredding the stage!!!!!!!!!!:
The shredding action is hot off the press—and it has a photocopy feel. The project WE! will shred the concept of the traditional stage as well as the suffocating context of the office space. The main audience for this event will be art appreciating professionals. I am thinking happenings, bauhaus, deconstructivism. The context is the 6th floor of an office space. I imagine Jane Gotch standing on the window ledge with a decided aversion to setting a foot the floor.
Another photo possibility would be Mark Southerland holding a sledge hammer about to smash into a wall—because they are breaking down walls both figuratively and literally for this audience participatory performance.
So why not a poster series?
Additionally, I am not always a fan of the icon approach (literal representation of the person) BUT, Jane (and Mark as well) emit a powerful aroma of ethos. Dangerous soul penetrating actors, they are.

CHUDE, a tribal name used in both a special and a general sense. (1) It was the name given by the Russians to certain Esthonian tribes with whom they came in contact as they spread gradually over their present empire. It would seem that the northern Chudes are the Vepsas, of whom about 21,000 are said to live near Lake Onega and in the northern parts of the government of Novgorod, and that the southern Chudes are the Votes who occupy about thirty parishes in north-west Ingria. (2) As the Russians advanced eastwards they extended the name to various tribes whom they considered to be like the Esthonians, and in popular use it has come to be applied to any ancient non-Russian people in Siberia, at least as far east as the Altai. In particular, ancient mines, tumuli and the metal work often found in them are commonly known as Chudish. Some investigators have used the word in a more restricted sense of Permian antiquities and their builders, but it seems to be a popular expression not corresponding to any historical or scientific division of mankind.End of Article: CHUDE

Yesterday, in Jackson, Ga a man by the name of Troy Davis was strapped to a gurney in the death chamber and given lethal injection. What happened to land him in this terrible demise? He was charged for killing police officer Mark McPhail on Aug 19,1989. Before he was injected; his final word were
"I am innocent," Davis said moments before he was executed Wednesday night. "All I can ask ... is that you look deeper into this case so that you really can finally see the truth. I ask my family and friends to continue to fight this fight."
--- From CBS NEWS
This is a case that as been waiting for a end for 22 years, and though Troy Davis is no longer here . I believe that the case is still long from being over .
There is said to be no real evidence of the gun or bullets in his possession .The case against him consisted entirely of witness testimony which contained inconsistencies even at the time of the trial. Since then, all but two of the state's non-police witnesses from the trial have recanted or contradicted their testimony.-amnesty
My Take: This is my issue 22 years is a long time to convince yourself that you didn't do something and long enough for witness to have blurry memories. Im Not saying that he couldn't be innocent or guilty! Everyone is making this a RACE THING , I am a firm believer that racism does exist. BUT I don't think this is one of those things. He might have been in the wrong place at the wrong time but everyone is not looking at it from everyones point of view.
I will Continue On Next Post where Im going with This!!!

The weather was unseasonably humid thanks to monsoonal moisture so it didn't take long for a glistening glow to appear on our skin. Huge beads of sweat traced a vertical descent through rac*ist t-shirts and tiny thongs culminating a sizable puddle on the sidewalk. Everyone had something to say about the sticky situation and we were not talking about The Human Pube, Unicrack or TestaCoil!
After sufficient imbibing of colorful cocktails at the most delightful outdoor cafe/bar/art venue and after receiving our coveted shiny new orange whistles – THANK YOU REAL BORING BITCH – we all set off through down town Santa Cruz only to be stopped in our tracks by a check, and then another check, and another. Grrrr, I could have just stayed at the cafe, co-mingling sweat and a civilized summer gin and tonic while pretending to be suave and cosmopolitan.
But no, I was pulled in by group peer pressure to stay with the pack.
By the way, the hares, Pinky and Fap, left a big tattered brown bag of chalk at the cafe. On said brown bag was a little map of their planned route that Thump and Rat Pussy so cleverly discovered. It was marked with stars and strange notations, however Thump deciphered it and knew exactly where beer check was going to be……….NOT!!!
Nevertheless we obediently followed all the wonderful marks and false trails which lead us to Neary Lagoon.
For those who need to know – from the santa cruz city's website…a few fun facts about Neary Lagoon:
"Abundant wildlife viewing. Peaceful place for a walk. Interpretative signage and information available on site. No dogs allowed in wildlife refuge area. ( Guess we missed that memo)
Neary Lagoon is an important part of the urban watershed for the City of Santa Cruz. A drainage area of approximately 850 acres empties into the lagoon, and from there, out to the ocean.
Wildlife inhabiting or visiting the refuge include mallard and wood ducks, pied billed grebes, a multitude of coots, the world's meanest geese, several varieties of fish and the occasional great blue heron or hawk.
A wooden pontoon walkway and trail system was recently added to the refuge, allowing a complete circuit around and through the refuge. The walk is under 1 mile, and is very popular with families with children. "
That being said…..it is also quite popular with Hashers….as we have visited this site many times this past year. It is a wonderful 1 mile circuit for some lunatics with beer bellies to gaze upon the resident wildlife, to help little kiddies feed the ducks, despite the signage saying otherwise, and to try to run so fast so they don't smell the stench coming from the adjacent water treatment plant!
Seems that little tidbit is missing from the city's literature!
Anyways, after the requisite wildlife viewing we headed back into the seedy city…..the eagles were treated to some outrageously steep up hill climb and then some, while the turkeys merely sauntered to the upper deck of the parking garage for beer check.
the eagles came in late….just in time to head to the final parking garage for religion.
Pinky put on here RA hat AND her teachers hat in an attempt to exert some control on this rowdy bunch.
We believe that most of this trail was a pre-lay….go figure. Who the hell was going to go running in 100 percent humidity? For sure it wasn't going to be our hares.
As to the pre-laid trail and the map left behind as evidence there was some confusion regarding marks on trail. Bacon Queef and How much dick do you need were overheard bantering on and on that there was a mark on the trail, and it was the official mark, not be be confused with the OBVIOUS mark of a trail. HUH?? WTF?? SMOKE WHAT???
Yep confusing to us too.
Teacher…..we need another lesson in chalk talk please.
So, once again, for those not in the know……our group tries not to use flour in downtown Santa Cruz, on school grounds and near Capitola Mall. We try to use chalk marks instead. WHY you ask? Because it is often confused with a deadly white substance whereby the SWAT and HAZMAT teams are called in to investigate.
We break many rules while hashing and so tonight I heard from a hasher that his friend, a defense lawyer, says that we should not break more than 1 rule at a time while intoxicated. Pretty good free advice if you ask me.
So, I'll stick with drunk in public, rather than being arrested for terrorist activities.
We did find Jesus on trail tonight…..and Timmy reminded us, in chalk, in front of Progressive Missionary (a not so popular sexual position) Baptist Church, that "Jesus saves but he can't go hashing". It's a catchy song…we'll sing it for you someday soon.
Moving on we had poop on trail – thanks to Vag for picking it up, we had backsliders: Human Pube, CuntJungle, Occasional Rapist and Twat did you say. We had a analversary of 25 runs for Real Boring bitch…get a life. And a whopping 100 for CumFartZone who wants you to put a ring on it….the C word.
We had a runaway dog on trail….just jenny the dog….who also left us a deposit on trail.
And then we had a memorable naming of Just Pat….who despite being a street artist, a triathlete and a connoisseur of fresh produce, body hair and fine wine, and who french kisses his dog, he can't differentiate behind apple juice and human urine. Thus he will be forever known as "UrineCider".
After religion, an art work extravaganza ensued. Bodies were outlined in chalk, folks were spread eagle on the pavement, sexual positions were pondered. What the hell was in that beer tonight?
The party continued at Woodstock pizza, late into the night with trivia and fat raindrops.
On On On,
Wet Kisses you all,

Modern Mobler celebrates grand opening on Upper Georgia Ave.
Image from modernmobler.com
The Modern Mobler had its soft opening back in the spring, and now its holding a grand opening celebration, from today through Sunday. There are significant discounts to celebrate. Hours are from 11 am to 7 pm. I stopped by a few days after they soft-opened, and I liked it a lot...the owner is also very into what he's doing. Go support them and help to bring more similar businesses to that stretch of Georgia (which could certainly use them, as we know).

Submit Your Essay For Proofreading
What Is Proofreading?
Proofreading is the process of examining your text carefully to find and correct mistakes in grammar, typographical errors, spelling, and style, to ensure there is absolutely no error. In other words, it mainly focuses on correcting superficial errors in syntax, grammar, spelling, formatting, and punctuation in the final document. It is always done at the end of the writing process as the last step before you submit your document or text to be published.
You may be a good writer, but detecting faults may not be your strength. This is typically the case when it comes to checking your own writing. However, certain individuals have outstanding proofreading skills; it is such individuals that we employ as our editors and proofreaders. Our proofreaders are 100% competent with grammar, excellent at detecting punctuation mistakes, and will notice common spelling mistakes and syntax errors that the electronic spell checkers fail to detect. If you have an important academic paper or an essay to submit, make sure it is properly proofread. We guarantee that after your paper has been proofread by our editors, it will climb a few quality notches and be far from mediocre writing.

The Difference Between Editing and Proofreading
Many people think that editing and proofreading are one and the same, but they are not! Editing and proofreading are two distinct words in the publishing process. Every document or text needs both editor and proofreader. All publishing houses have both, and sometimes put a written piece through various editing levels before it ever hits the proofreading stage. So, how do these two terms differ?
Editing is about making suggestions and revisions about the text or document, focusing on improving the flow, accuracy of the language and the overall readability as well as checking for spelling and grammar. In other words, it involves a detailed content review for the transition between paragraphs and ensures that your evidence really backs up your argument. When performing an edit, editors are looking for consistency and clarity in your thoughts to ensure that your written content gives the impression that language comes naturally from you, even if it does not. The editors examine the content, structure within paragraphs, clarity, citations, style and overall content structure.
Proofreading, on the other hand, is the last stage of the editing process. It is, therefore, an affordable service, still, performs a crucial role. It focuses on correcting surface errors in writing such as spelling, grammar, punctuation, and other language mistakes. The proofreading process detects anomalies such as different language sets, faulty assumption about sentence structure, grammar, field-specific terminologies, and embedded information. This means that we must seriously review documents without relying on grammar and spell checks to perform it for us. It provides quality assurance for your content but should be done only after your document or text is edited.
Main Proofreading Strategies
Proofreading can be a daunting process, especially when you are not sure where to begin or what the process entails. If you are ready to proofread your content, you should do so thoroughly and carefully. Although it is critical to review your work and seek opinions of others, the following proofreading strategies may prove useful:
- Leave yourself plenty of time
After you have finished editing your content, leave it for 30 minutes, a day or two, or even a week. This will allow you to approach proofreading with fresh mind and eyes.
- Prepare a list of what to look for
Keep the list of errors you always make. The list will help you manage your time and not feel weighed down by proofreading. Get the list of the common errors and mistakes you always make.
Reading from your computer is not an effective way to proofread. Print a hard copy of your content will help you detect spelling, grammar, style and punctuation errors.
Reading aloud will enable to detect run-on sentences, organization issues, awkward transitions and other grammatical mistakes that you might not detect while reading silently. You can do it to yourself, do it to your friends or let your friend read your content.
Many errors or mistakes in writing happen because we rush. Read carefully and slowly to give your mind and eyes enough time to recognize/spot errors.
Try to read each sentence one at a time, starting from the end of the paper document, instead of the beginning. This will force you to pay attention to every sentence rather than the whole idea in the paper.
- Look for a particular error at a time
Check a particular error at a time. Identify punctuation, citation, grammar, spelling and other grammatical errors separately. You might get confused or fail to detect some errors when looking for them at one go!
The Purpose of Proofreading
It is a hard fact that computer spell checker cannot catch all mistakes on your text. More specifically, it won't catch inconsistencies, omitted words, spelling errors, punctuations, grammar and other analytics details in your content. So, how will you solve the situation? Of course proofreading!
- Proofreading allows you to include everything you wanted in any piece of writing
- It helps you remove any little, unnecessary mistakes or errors you may have made
- It gives you a chance to review your work and include anything you might have missed
- It can help you get extra marks in your exams that could make the difference in your entire grade
- It improves the quality of your material, and I'm very sure you will earn more compliments
- Even in this technological age, there is no substitute for a professional traditional proofreader
- The professionally proofread copy will improve the understanding of your readers and ensure that you are passing the message you wanted to.
How to Proofread a Paper
Proofreading is not just about casting a glance over a piece of content you have created; it requires serious concentration to focus on the errors and layout. Unfortunately, errors are difficult to detect, so it is important to read word by word to ensure you miss nothing. Because it involves correcting minor mistakes, it does not require a lot of rewriting. Here is a step by step on how to proofread a paper:
Editors can professionally proofread your document to ensure it is precise, well-written and easy to read. It is critical to carefully proofread all your written materials before making them public. Proofreading is an essential part of your writing process: not just icing on the cake.
Proofreading Tips
Proofreading your own work can sometimes be a challenging task. This is because you already know the content, have the picture in your mind and, as a result, you tend to skim over words. Besides, you know your own voice, so even if you have errors in your writing, you might not hear or see them.
Here are some tips on how to proofread:
- Don't proofread until you are completely finished with writing and editing
- Read it silently and also loudly
- Read it slowly
- Read it backward to focus on spelling errors
- Print it and read it
- Point your figures, while reading one sentence at a time
- Don't proofread for all mistakes at once
- Forget the story and read it as a stranger to the content
- Take note of the mistakes and errors
- Get familiar with your common mistakes
- Get someone else to read it for you
- Check format last
Why Is It Better to Find a Service for Proofreading
Proofreading is something that even the world's greatest writers find difficult to deal with. It requires you to have fine eyes to spot all errors and mistakes in a long piece of work. Proofreading can mean the difference between the grade you absolutely get and the grade you want. So, it is advisable to get a highly qualified team of professional proofreaders who can guarantee you a satisfying final result.
Don't let errors or mistakes tarnish your work, whether it is an essay, research paper, business communication, thesis and any other college assignment – ask our writers to proofread your paper! Remember, proofreading isn't similar to editing. It has nothing to do with creativity: it is a science that needs a process.

The USB-equipped X-plorer guitar that ships with the just-released Guitar Hero II for Xbox 360 has some interesting tricks up its nonexistant but metaphorically convenient sleeve. No, we're not talking about breaking or shape-shifting (sheesh) -- we're talking about things like effects pedals and oh, what's this, Windows support? Randy tipped us off that the guitar controller works in Windows Vista, but we had to check for ourself. The above image was captured in Windows XP. The five frets control the first five buttons, Back and Start control buttons 7 and 8, the d-pad and strummer control the Point of View Hat, the whammy bar controls the X Rotation, Star Power controls the Y Rotation, and the Z Axis sorta just wiggles when you move the guitar. The X Axis / Y Axis does nothing (gotta save something for that effects pedal, no?).
Of course, we quickly fired up freeware PC clone, Frets on Fire, to see if we could manage to get these two to play nicely together. Sure enough, after a minute of changing the control configuration, we were able to rock out! Unfortunately, while Mac OS X recognized the device immediately (pic after the break), it failed to be detected as an HID-compliant gamepad by either GamePad Companion or the open source Xbox 360 Controller driver. Additionally, this blogger couldn't convince the Mac OS port of Frets on Fire to load so we're unable to determine if the game would support the device directly. Any Mac using 'stiqers able to get the X-plorer to work?

"Happy After Persecution" Series
Contributed by Clark Tanner on May 19, 2006 (message contributor)
Summary: Sermon 7 in a study in the Sermon on the Mount
"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when men cast insults at you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, on account of Me. Rejoice, and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
We have already observed in this study that when we pay careful attention to the things Jesus says we often find that He says quite the opposite of what we would expect anyone to say, and quite often He says the opposite of what we would want to hear.
If a student of the Bible in any of the various settings available for sitting at the feet of Jesus, so to speak, finds himself or herself going for any notable length of time being comfortable and largely unchallenged and unconvicted as pertains to his or her own spiritual walk and growth, one of two things is happening.
Either they are deadened to the voice of the Spirit by a lack of concern for spiritual things and being hardened by the deceitfulness of sin, or they are subjecting themselves to an environment where, whatever the claims of the teacher before them, they are not truly hearing the whole counsel of God's Word being brought to them.
Whichever of these two scenarios exists, something needs to change.
Because when Jesus speaks He brings light to dispel darkness, He exposes the backward condition of a world in rebellion against its Creator, and He expounds truth in such a way as to make it impossible to cling to the little lies we tell ourselves that we are really ok and not such bad sorts and now that we are Christians we've got it all together and it's clear sailing from here on out.
When Jesus speaks to the human spirit and His Word is truly being taught, people will get up and run, or they will harden themselves one more time to what the Holy Spirit is wanting to do in their lives and that is a very dangerous thing to do, or they will bow in humble submission to the process of sanctification and they will be blessed.
If you sit under anyone's teaching for a time and never feel challenged or convicted inwardly by God's Spirit, search your own heart first. Ask God to reveal your heart to you. Then if you are confident that you are truly hungry for God's Word and desirous of being made more like Jesus, then get up and leave for your own good. Find a place and a teacher who will feed you the broccoli as well as the peaches.
I say all of this to prepare you, because today we have before us a big plate of broccoli. And if I can find any cheese sauce to put on it I will, but underneath will be broccoli nonetheless.
I did not want you to be taken by surprise, although if you've read these verses in advance and given them any thought at all, you should have seen it coming.
Now everything Jesus has described the Christian to be thus far has been just the reverse of what the world would think a man should be.
I don't have to go back over them again now; we've said it several times. If you have not been a part of this study up to this point you only need go back to the beginning of chapter 5 of Matthew and read verses 1 through 9 and I'm confident you will agree that the Christian is fundamentally very different, according to this description, from those who are not Christians.
At no point though is it made clearer that the Christian is unlike the person still belonging to the world than what Jesus has to say next. I say the difference is made clear, but understanding just what defines that difference is not necessarily clear.
In fact as I observe the actions of church people that are demonstrated over the news media, or in magazine articles, or come to my ears through the witness of others, or sometimes just stop and analyze my own thinking and knee-jerk reactions to things, I have to conclude that there is a great deal of misunderstanding of Matthew 5:10-12.
We'll probably spend as much time today talking about what Jesus did not mean in these verses as what He did mean.
Right out of the gate, let's notice the past tense of this beatitude. In every one Jesus says, "Blessed are those who are"… something.
Now He says "Blessed are those who have been…" So the first thing we can assure ourselves of is that we don't have to be happy while we're being persecuted.

Outdoor Summer Adventure Camp
For those campers who crave adventure and love the outdoors, Shohola offers what could be described as an outdoor summer adventure camp within a camp. We are very fortunate to have some of the most scenic areas in the country to explore and we take full advantage of it by offering optional trips out of camp nearly every day. These trips include:
- Rock Climbing
- Whitewater Rafting
- Hiking
A few outdoor adventure summer camp trips are age exclusive due to the regulations of the companies we contract to run them. When we contract professional outfits to run these trips, a small fee applies. We will contact you to ask permission before a camper goes on a trip that carries a significant cost.
Camp Shohola also offers Ropes Course as a regularly scheduled activity. The course offers a complete assortment of high and low elements with a climbing tower and a zip line. It is one of our most popular activities in our outdoor adventure camp.

Move To Managed WordPress Hosting For Speed Increase
blog.mbedded.ninja has been moved from a Linux-based shared server on GoDaddy to one of their "managed wordpress" services. It is about the same price, and instead of CPanel, they provide you with a pre-installed WordPress CMS (with a powerful and quick import from existing WordPress installation tool). The server is still shared, but is configured to run efficiently run WordPress-based websites.
The idea was to hopefully speed things up, as blog.mbedded.ninja has been running really slow lately (30-60s load times!, see the Site Running Slowly, Does That Mean It's Walking? post). So far so good, the page load times seem to have dropped dramatically. Now the front page takes 6.43s to load the first time, and 4.47s to load on a repeat view. See the screenshot below:
I think one of the big speed improvements came from the new way of caching. It suggests that the caching plugin I was using before was not working correctly.
At the same time, I decided to change themes. The reason behind this was because I wanted a "responsive" design, one that would look good on smart phones and tablets as well as the traditional computer monitor. Because I am no pro web designer, I wanted a framework to get me started, which I could then tweak to fit my needs. Call me a sheep, but I decided to go with the Avada theme, as it was very popular and had tons of good reviews.
It did cost a fair amount (US$58), so I was expecting it to be pretty easy to setup how I wanted to. Avada has a massive "Theme Options" menu that lets you customise many parts of the design. But I soon discovered that I had to make a child theme and edit both the PHP and CSS to get it to work to my liking. Maybe my requirements were just too specific? Things I had to use PHP/CSS for included:
- Resizing the websites logo to the desired size in the header
- Adding the site name and slogan to the header
- Colouring alternate rows of a table a different colour
- Adding a Revolution Slider to the header
- Remove the huge featured image from the start of every page
Because of the speed improvements, I still wouldn't go back to the Linux/CPanel style hosting, but a managed WordPress service does have it's disadvantages:
- No CPanel! (most of the following disadvantages are sub-issues due to this fact!)
- No SSH, unless you pay for the Business or Pro managed WordPress services (these are expensive), and even then, SSH is still limited
- No cron jobs
- No file manager (uploading many files is slow, as you can't upload a zip file and then unzip)
Thankfully, you do still get FTP access with the managed WordPress service.

Paul Devinsky was quoted in a September 11 article
In Depth
Paul Devinsky was quoted in a September 11 article by Technology Daily regarding patent holding firm NTP's decision to sue several of the nation's largest wireless carriers for alleged patent infringement. Mr. Devinsky's prediction is that the defendants would move for an immediate stay pending conclusion of the re-examination and that the stay would be granted. He suggested that NTP may be concerned about pending patent litigation on Capitol Hill and that NTP "is seeking to be certain their damage claim is calculated under the current statute."

Death and the Girl Next Door (Darklight #1) by Darynda Jones
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
Publish Date: Oct. 2, 2012
Pages: 304
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Lorelei's parents disappeared ten years ago and her grandparents raised her...and it seems she's picked up a couple of creepy stalkers recently.
Lorelei (which is a gorgeous name!) knows who both her stalkers are. One is a classmate she's grown up with and one is the new kid in school. Both are portrayed as hot and sexy...seriously, are there any geeky boys or average boys out there in YA land?
Public Announcement Here:
Ladies - stalkers are NEVER hot and sexy! I don't care if they're demons, angels or the kid from Biology class. It seems to me that stalking has been glamorized lately in YA and this book set me on edge about it.
The writing is decent, but I didn't think there were enough twists and surprises. The make out scenes were a little hot and heavy for our younger YA readers.
Lorelei is a good character - I do love snarky girls! She also seemed to have a good grasp on when to freak out and when to stay and fight.
I'm 50/50 on this book. Let me know what you think.

Six months have passed since the release of blockbuster "Sarrainodu", yet director Boyapati Srinivas is not taking his next movie to the sets.
"Sarrainodu" is biggest hit in Boyapati's career. Still he is finding issues with producers. His new film has got new producer as the earlier producer had tiff with Bellamkonda Suresh and dropped off from producing it. So, the film is back to square one. When will it commence the shoot is a big question.
Boyapati took huge advance from Bellamkonda Suresh even before the release of "Sarrainodu" to direct his hero son Bellamkonda Srinivas of "Alludu Seenu" and "Speedunnodu" fame.
After the release of Allu Arjun's movie, several big stars approached him but Bellamkonda insisted on completing this first as the director took huge remuneration for this. Then the leading distribution house Abhishek Pictures came forward to debut in film production.
Abhishek Pictures took a special office near Durgam Cheruvu in Madhapur and did house-warming ceremony.
When all set for the commencement of the movie's shoot, trouble began. Bellamkonda Suresh reportedly has started taking all decisions regarding the movie producing from casting to budgeting making the producer Abhishek Nama a dummy. This led to Abhishek's walk out from this project.
Now M Ravinder Reddy who produced Naga Chaitanya's "Saahsam Swaasaga Saagipo" is producing this movie.
On the other hand, Bellamkonda and others say Abhishek Pictures is a bubble that is going to burst soon.
Abhishek got name when they bought rights of "Srimanthudu" for Nizam area for a whopping amount. As the movie became all-time second biggest hit, over night they became popular. They went on distributing several biggies. Later they announced five films including Boypati's but only two went to the sets.
Now there are rumors floating around that the company is in deep financial mess and may stop all of them.
On one hand, Bellamkonda camp say the trouble is because of financial issues of Abhishek Pictures, the camp of Abhishek say they walked out of Boyapati's film due to high-handedness of Bellamkonda Suresh. Truth lies somewhere between these two arguments.

Why do I travel? It will be hard to capture my sentiments in one blog post, but I will try.
I travel to see beauty. Beauty my senses are not yet accustomed to. Beauty that surprises the eyes. It could refer to a place that I've never seen or heard before, or a known attraction that far exceeds expectations (e.g. the Petronas Towers, whose grandeur and sheer beauty, for me, could never be captured by mere photographs). Some attractions are photogenic. Some are not, and neither videos nor photographs would suffice to do them justice. Nevertheless, I capture these beauties with my lenses, hoping that this will ensure that they are enshrined in my heart.
I travel to experience beauty. There is usually beauty where there is love. Love for loved ones. For country. For fellow humans. For a lover. When I was in Sofia two months ago, I stayed at a home of a Bulgarian couple — she was in her late 50s, while he was younger than me at age 32. But their relationship worked. I could see it — they complimented each other and they cared for one another. Both of them came from the same "lower" class, which enabled them to live a decent life during the communist era with everything they needed provided. "If we had come from the 'upper classes'", she explained to me, "we would not have enjoyed what we enjoyed during the communist years".
I travel to make friends. I've met friends in the funniest circumstances. When I was walking from Fira to Oia in Santorini, Greece, I came across a girl who was wearing *exactly* the same straw hat I had on. We naturally started speaking to each other, commending the other for her good taste (our hats were both from Primark, haha). We then made dinner plans for that evening and thus began a friendship. This 'hat' girl remains to be one of my good friends – she has taken me and my mom around her native Portugal two years ago, and next year she will be visiting me in my native Philippines. Another instance – when I was on a bus tour three years ago, I sat next to a South African girl my age as we made our way from Paris to Interlaken (as you could imagine, this was quite a long bus ride lasting nearly 10 hours). We became friends during that bus ride and somehow made a pact then: whoever gets married first, the other has to attend the wedding. As I said, the bus tour happened three years ago, and last year I made my way to South Africa to attend her wedding (wedding ceremonies actually, as she had more than one ceremony as per their custom).
I travel to see how people treat strangers. Foreigners, for instance. In Lisbon, my mother and I were blatantly followed by security people at supermarkets. My mother believed it was because we looked "different" and, to their eyes, probably appear suspicious. My mom was offended, I call it naive. In Sofia, where most people I found did not speak English, I experienced communicating simply by using body language. While at a tram stand one evening, I asked a lady (around my age) for help to buy a ticket for the tram. In that city, one normally cannot purchase a tram ticket inside the tram – you have to buy the ticket elsewhere (at a store nearby, for instance, which did not seem to sell them that time of the night – yes, I asked). She could not speak English, and I did not speak Bulgarian. She did not give up on me, though — she waited with me until my tram came, and when it arrived she boarded it and spoke to the driver for me, and somehow I was able to procure a ticket for my ride. In a major train station in Budapest, I heard a group of ladies asking a local for directions to Szentendre (a Serbian village near Budapest). Since I was going the same way, I approached one of the ladies to ask help with directions. She told me what she knew. Then she eyed me curiously and asked, "Are you traveling by yourself?" I replied, "Yes". She remarked, "You're a brave woman". I wondered if she had wanted to add "foolish" as well.
I travel to see how people treat their fellow countrymen. In Japan, the Japanese I have met have full trust in their fellow Japanese. They would say things like, "Don't worry about leaving your things there for a while, nobody will touch it". In Croatia, you could feel the Croatians' pride in fellow Croats and their beautiful country whenever asked – they always spoke about how Croatians make the best host in the world. Romania reminded me a bit of a certain country — I've received a lot of kindness and warmth from locals when I was there last October, and felt very welcomed indeed. But a local friend told me that Romanians are usually not as friendly to their fellow countrymen (save for family or people from the same town/village) as they are towards foreigners. Which is a shame, but based on my travel experience this sometimes tend to happen.
I travel to eat food I can only eat "there", wherever there is. Travel has destroyed me in this sense. Once you know that a certain kind of food exists, prepared a certain way, you constantly ache for it, the same way you've tried it. Once you know what "real" food taste like (e.g. "real" moussaka that you could only get in Greece), it will be hard to satisfy your palate without going back. I travel to tantalize my palate with new tastes and sensations, or reward it with tried and tested ones.
I travel to understand what people in other places value. What makes them happy. What makes them laugh. To learn what people discuss in public places.
I travel to hear how other languages are spoken, and try to have a feel for their rhythm. To feel foreign. To be a special snowflake (a reward you sometimes get for enduring being foreign). To revel how there is always a way to connect with anyone.
But most of all, I travel so that I could return home. Whether I leave for a short time or a long time it is always the same for me — returning home is usually the most awaited part of the trip. This is when I get to reflect and "digest" every encounter, every experience I've had during the trip, and apply it to my "regular" life. Each time I go back home, though, I find that home is never the same, and that I am never the same. Because I see this "home" a little clearer each time, from lenses that correct the vision just a little bit better.
They say the goal of travel is to leave in such a way that when you return home, wherever home is for you, you see it with new eyes. They never told me that that is not often a pleasant thing — but this deserves another post. Stay tuned. 😘<<<<

Here is a long purple cut crystal pendant necklace. The piece has been polished smooth with the edges beveled. The pendant is hexagonal across the bottom. It is 4 1/2" long with the base measuring 15/16" across. It has been cut a bit at the top and then drilled. It has been fitted with a gold-filled bail with a large jump ring. The chain included with it is a rose gold ladies' watch chain that measures 24" long and includes a gold filled toggle adding an extra 1" to the length. The chain has a pretty oval flat link and is in excellent condition with no base metal showing. The chain has a clasp but fits over the head without opening the clasp. The pendant is probably Czech glass; I'm not sure if it is pre-World War II or 1970's. The chain is ca. 1900. This is an unusual and interesting piece.

"Who says I can't get stoned?" in action: John Mayer proclaimed that he would wear his Cleveland Cavaliers jersey during his September 11 performance in West Palm Beach. One of the blogs at our ribald sister paper in Miami noticed, andexpressed understandable displeasure

Well, he sorta did it anyhow. According to New Times reviewer Jose Flores, Mayer instead attempted to please everyone: "Without really keeping or really breaking his promise, he donned a half-a-Heat jersey sewn together with half-a-Cavs jersey." Now confirmed in this photo below, half of his heart is still in Cleveland, but the other half is draped in a black LeBron James Miami jersey. Doubtful that this glad-handing move will inspire American Airlines Arena to play "Heartbreak Warfare" before Heat games this year.

Director Lee Daniels, has come out in response to #OscarsSoWhite champions, telling them that instead of complaining, they need to, "Go out and do the work."
In a New York Times interview, Daniels, one of only two black directors to be nominated for an Oscar, criticized those who claim racism is to blame for the past all-white list of nominees. The director praised individual legacy, instead of black solidarity, saying,
"Oscars so white! So what? Do your work. Let your legacy speak and stop complaining, man. Are we really in this for the awards?"
Daniels goes on to give a lesson in responsibility and entitlement, saying that the world owes them them nothing and their energy should be invested into doing their best and creating a legacy.
"If I had thought that way – that the world was against me – I wouldn't be here now… These whiny people that think we're owed something are incomprehensible and reprehensible to me. I don't expect acknowledgment or acceptance from white America. I'm going to be me."
Despite what #OscarsSoWhite and the BLM movement want to believe, blacks and other ethnic groups do achieve success in the United States- a lot of it. Asian, Hispanic and African American business ownership has risen, particularly among black women, and enrollment rates are up, even if graduation rates are dismal. Daniels understands something that everyone needs to hear:
Stop complaining. Do your work. Let your legacy speak.2 comments

Which MMO has the best holiday content?

Which MMO has the best holiday content?
You might have noticed that were currently awash in seasonal festivities, not just in the real world but in MMOs as well. Christmas is the second of two holidays (Halloween being the other) that get some sort of special event in most online games.
That had me thinking of how underappreciated some of these events are when it comes to awards and accolades. Developers have to put in a ton of work for these holidays, most of which are only seen for a brief window every year. Wouldnt it be nice to give them props for this effort?
So which MMO do you think has the best holiday content? Im not just limiting it to the current season or even a particular event but am opening up the floor for discussion on which game does holidays the best. Want to cite specific favorite events? I wont stop you!

[edit] Fishing
Like many games in the Harvest Moon and Rune Factory series, Rune Factory Frontier includes a special mini-game like feature called Fishing. Fishing may not feel as important for income or cooking in the beginning due to the easy to get crops from farming and war trophies from battling, but during the winter when crops do not grow, it passes time and puts a good amount of gold towards your total.
[edit] Getting the Fishing Pole
Getting the fishing pole is simple and can be done in the first season of the game. Just follow this order:
- On the 7th of Spring, or any day past that, enter the clock tower.
- Find and talk with Kanno.
- Keep talking with Kanno until he tells you that he needs someone to make food for him and that his granddaughters are coming to help. He will also tell you to meet them outside.
- Leave the clocktower and cutscene will occur introducing Cinnamon, a bachelorette, and Candy, her sister.
- Although this doesn't have to be done, if you speak to Cinnamon she will tell you her interests are constellations and fishing.
- Wait until an afternoon on a clear day.
- Go to homestead and walk around the rivers until you see Cinnamon fishing.
- Talk to Cinnamon until she gives you the fishing pole.
[edit] How to Fish
To fish, simply find a body of water and cast your rod. Wait for the fish to bite. You know you've got a fish when Raguna starts jumping around. When the bar hits either the blue or the green bar, pull the Wii remote or press A.
- When you pull, or press A, and the moving line is at the red part of the bar, you won't catch anything.
- When the line stops at the blue part of the bar, you catch a fish, but it's in a relatively low level.
- When the line stops at the green part, you catch a high-leveled type of fish.
[edit] Finding Fish
There are two main factors that effect catching fish. You should make sure to pay attention to these factors if you are trying to catch a certain type of fish. These two factors are:
- Area: The area includes any body of water such as the river, pond, waterfall, lake, and ocean. Some fish can be found in more then one body of water, but usually each has their own.
- Season: The season in which you are in also effects which fish can be caught. Most fiah can be caught in more then one season however, but its important to know this when going after a certain type.
[edit] Rune Wonder
If you go to Candy, Cinnamon's sister, who is usually located in the Clock Tower or outside of Mist's house, you can ask her to perform a Rune Wonder called "Fish Day". By trading the needed Runneys, Candy will make fish bite more and catching them easier for one day. This can be good for catching multiple fish in one day with little RP consumtion and should get you plenty of cooking materials or gold.
[edit] Levels
Like most items, fish have a level. The higher the level, the more they can be sold for. To get a higher leveled fish, pull or press A when the line is in the green part of the bar. Pulling is recommended more than pressing A, since pulling the Wii remote makes it stop faster.
[edit] Major Fishing Locations
Here are some of the major fishing locations.
- Lake poli.
- Beach.
- River beside your farm.
- Town square.
[edit] Not so Major fishing locations
These are locations where you can fish but arent that Big locations.
- Where you fill your watering cans.
- Where you got the hammer.
- Any where you can fill your watering can.
- In the tiny hole on lake poli in winter.

This stuff is overhyped. I heard many many good reviews about this product, hence why I decided to give it a try. I live in Canada, so I paid $18 for the foundation... I don't think it does much. i feel like this makes your pores extremely visible and I find it hard to blend and get a decent coverage. It isn't flattering at all. And every shade of this foundation is extremely orange. I am very tan with yellow/olive undertones and couldn't find a good shade match that wasn't orange. I definitely think this was a waste of money and I wouldn't repurchase. The only use i'll get of out this is mixing it with a lighter foundation to even out the orange and get a better coverage.

NO..just no. I have dry and dehydrated skin and this foundation CREATED and ENHANCED flakes on my face even with heavy moisturizers under. After 5 hours of wear, it also managed to make some parts of my skin oily on top of making some parts HELLA flaky. I was an oily cakey mess. It looked like I was wearing a HEAVY mask. EW. I'd run far from this if you have skin type like mine. Actually, I don't see how it would be good for oily skin either as it doesn't control oil either. The coverage is good though.

Meh. I bought this foundation after seeing youtubers use it.. and also because it looks very similar to MUFE Ultra HD (my holy grail). Its ok. I have the wrong shade, Natural, when really i should've purchased fair but i mix it with the white lightener and it seems to be fine. It looks great when i first apply, somewhat dewy after i have set it with powder and full coverage, it looks wonderful. Then, as the day goes on... after about 4 hours (not even that long at all) it really settles into my smile lines, it doesn't crease under my eyes or anywhere else but my small lines always look awful. I've tried baking, using different powders, setting sprays etc. it just doesn't help. Considering i usually use MUFE, i was quite disappointed as that foundation NEVER settles into my lines. Overall, its an OK foundation with GREAT coverage, a little bit definitely goes a long way. i don't think it smells bad compared to what other reviewers have said... it doesn't look natural but i suppose its not meant to considering its such full coverage. I am going to keep trying it and repurchase in a lighter shade but it will definitely not replace my MUFE.

I have had a really positive experience with this foundation. I got it in Fair, the lightest color (I think). It looked a little too light for me and a touch too yellow when I switched it but turns out it blended beautifully and was the correct color for me. The pump and packaging are terrific. This foundation is very concentrated. I used a lot less of this than I do of some other liquid foundations. Coverage is medium to full and can be built up. The foundation wore wonderfully all day on my moderately dry skin. I applied it to well-moisturized skin, with a dewy primer underneath, which may have helped it not to apply dry-ish. All day long, this foundation looked great on my skin. No crackles, no patches, no fading. I was really happily surprised and definitely recommend this foundation. I wouldn't say it is immensely "illuminating" but it is not drying and it doesn't appear matte, either. It's perhaps a teensy-touch dewy but not at all shiny or super glowy.
Dry skinned folks, give this a try! Use a light hand and see how it goes. Thumbs up from me.

I bought this foundation online because of the beauty youtuber hype. I initially noticed the lightest shade (porcelain) was orange based so I ordered their white mixer to make it paler. I have slightly dry acne prone skin.The application itself was okay & almost medium coverage, but I just dislike like the formula/texture. Its too dewy, just floated on the skin, emphasized pores & lines, caked & separated in places, and just looked weird. It creased under my eyes badly even when I didn't use it alone! I couldn't wait to wash it off. I initially noticed my pores were more clogged than usual and then two days later I got several severe cystic acne spots (which I rarely get). Now I know why it was so cheap.

"One of my favorite cruisers," is how MO's own Evans Brasfield describes the Victory V92C, aka the first Victory motorcycle. His fondness for the V92C comes from a long road trip he took aboard the "other" American cruiser, which left a lasting imprint on our cruiser editor. Now, almost 17 years later, we're revisiting the launch of the 1998 Victory V92C for this week's Church feature. The words come from contributor Edward K. Randolph, and it's interesting to note Polaris CEO W. Hall Wendel, Jr.'s comments about Victory's existence and the desire to expand Polaris' reach in the powersports realm. Of course, with Polaris now in control of Indian, one would think the investment in Victory has paid off. With that, enjoy this trip down memory lane.
Thursday, June 26: Minnesota-based Polaris Industries, renowned manufacturer of snowmobiles, ATVs and watercraft, unveiled to the world its newest venture, the Victory V92C motorcycle, touted to be the largest V-twin cruiser bike in production. This announcement, long anticipated in the motorcycle world, brings the number of American motorcycle manufacturers up to four.
"We are very proud and excited to finally show you the Victory after hundreds of hours of preparation," offered Victory General Manager Matt Parks. "We've been working on this for a long time and we're confident we have the best cruiser bike on the market today."
Tipping the displacement scales at just over 92 cubic inches (1507cc), the Victory, by estimates of one factory test rider who asked to remain anonymous, can claim between 75 and 80 horsepower with a smooth but torquey launch. The Polaris designed-and-built V92 engine features a single overhead cam four-valve design with cylinders set at 50 degrees, and a unique oil cooling system that retains functional cooling fins. Dual 44mm electronic fuel injected throttle bodies will monitor fuel flow to the huge V-twin that is estimated to get around 40 miles per gallon on the freeway, but significantly less in town.
There was plenty of speculation as to whether the Victory motor was a single or dual crank pin design. Nobody with Polaris is talking about the internal design of the machine. "All I can say is that there's a crank pin in there," responded Parks.
It's hard to not get swept up in the excitement of a new bike manufacturer on the market. When the lights go down and there's a big show on the center stage, anything looks hot and sexy. But when the balloons loose their helium and the janitor comes through with the mop, reality sets in: The Victory just doesn't have anything to set it apart from the other cruisers on today's market. Taking design cues from vintage cruiser bikes, cars and aviation styles is not new to this market.
While the Victory's engine is tall, to say the least, its overall look is not anything above average, with nothing to lure consumers away from their current ride of choice. But that is not Polaris' intent – at least not yet. Polaris hopes to enter the market slowly, building on its existing customer base before expanding its line and taking over market share from other cruiser manufacturers. "Our studies show us that over 30 percent of our customers ride motorcycles," said Polaris CEO W. Hall Wendel, Jr. "Those are the people we are trying to reach first."
During the first year there will only be one Victory model available to the public, bedecked in spectra red and black trim. By its March, 1998 release date a second, lighter and sportier paint scheme will be added. Polaris anticipates having a line of Victory accessories available to the public by that time, too.
Manufacturer: Polaris Engine: Air/oilcooled SOHC 4-valve 50degree v-twin Bore and Stroke: 97 x 102 mm Displacement: 1507cc (92ci) Primary drive: Gear Transmission: 5-speed Final Drive: Belt Claimed Dry Weight: 600 lbs. Seat Height: 28 inches Ground Clearance: 5.51 inches Fuel Capacity: 5 Gallons

The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be evaluated in several methods. The patient may be asked to identify illuminated letter or items of differing sizes on what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
On the other hand, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous ways. Stress within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In specific illness, particularly in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased considerably.
Nevertheless, it should be well kept in mind that a client with an eye problem may have other problems also. Often other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can inform the physician and the patient to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
Consequently, one's dependence on sight is stressed when one deals with a possible or momentary irreversible loss of this important sense. For this reason, when restorative procedures are looked for, particular kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are recommended.
On the other hand, some people are bothered with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were developed to motivate decreased utilization of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Generally, LASIK eye surgery is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is remedied permanently.
With LASIK eye see this here surgery, the refractive errors in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main function of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, permitting much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that individuals must understand. Probably, the primary reason this kind of eye surgery has actually ended up being well accepted is since many of its cases had succeeded.
Nevertheless, in spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgical treatment involves the operation of the retina, which is among the most sensitive parts view of the eye, many people say that the operation can be really risky.
In other words, a easy mistake might practically cause an person's life time blindness. Thus, it is essential to think about many elements before choosing whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the best restorative measure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a perfect procedure
LASIK eye surgical treatment might correct your vision however it does not always suggest that it can offer you a twenty-twenty. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the clients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always mean they have ideal vision too.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not constantly be the ideal eye surgery the way the majority of people see it
Conversely, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of methods. It ought to be well remembered that a client with an eye problem may have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can alert the physician and the client to difficulties in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction.
Two Items You Do Not Figure Out About LASIK Eye Surgical Treatments
The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
