text: Home > Nation Final tally: Binay leads Roxas by 700,000 votes By Maria Althea Teves, abs-cbnNEWS.com/ Newsbreak Posted at Jun 08 2010 03:08 PM | Updated as of Jun 09 2010 09:17 AM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile points to the tally board for the presidential election that shows the grand total of votes of senator and president-elect Benigno Aquino III during the May 10 poll, on the last day of canvassing for president and vice president at the Plenary Hall of the House of Representatives in Quezon City, June 8, 2010. AFP PHOTO/NOEL CELIS MANILA, Philippines (UPDATE) - It's final. Liberal Party (LP) standard-bearer Benigno Aquino III and Puwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) vice-presidential candidate Jejomar Binay will be proclaimed as the country's next president and vice-president, respectively. Final Congressional Tally The final tally of the National Board of Canvassers showed Aquino with 15,208,678 votes, winning the presidential race with no surprise. His lead over second placer PMP presidential bet Joseph Estrada was 5,720,841 votes. Estrada garnered 9,487,837 votes. Binay, Estrada's running mate, on the other hand, won the vice presidency with 14,645,574 votes in the final count. Aquino's running mate, Manuel Roxas II, was in close second place with 13,918,490 votes. There were talks that Binay won because relatives of Aquino, particularly the Cojuangcos, campaigned for the Noy-Bi (Aquino-Binay) tandem and not the LP tandem, especially in Mindanao. (Read: Peping camp campaigned for Noy-Bi) The proclamation for president and vice-president has been scheduled on Wednesday. Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri yesterday said that it would be held at 2 pm. Aquino had 15,072,053 votes in the June 7 tally while Estrada was 5 million votes behind with 9,471,029. Only the province of Lanao del Sur had to be canvassed on the last day. National canvassing resumed at 2:14 p.m. on Tuesday. It took Congress 1 hour and 10 minutes to canvass the votes from Lanao del Sur, a province with a reputation for being one of the cheating capitals in Muslim Mindanao. The province recently conducted special elections in 28 precincts. After all the votes were counted, House Speaker Prospero Nograles said: "That's the last COC." Aquino an obvious winner Aquino was the obvious winner even before the Congress, sitting as the NBOC, started canvassing votes for President and Vice President. Partial tally of the Commission on Elections, before the Lanao del Sur votes were considered, showed that his lead over Estrada was over 5 million votes. Aquino even won in San Juan, Estrada's home city, with 22,225 votes against the former president who also served as San Juan mayor for over 20 years. Estrada received 21,341 votes in San Juan. In Cebu, a bailiwick of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, Aquino won with 759,938 votes. This was achieved despite the fact that some members of the powerful Garcia family shifted their support to Nacionalista Party standard-bearer Manuel Villar. Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia remained with the Lakas-Kampi. Administration standard-bearer Gilberto Teodoro Jr. finished in second place in Cebu with 344,783 votes while Villar was in third with 200,287 votes. Cebu is the country's biggest voting province with 2.2 million registered voters. (Read: Lakas-Kampi defections: 'Gloriaquino' or 'Villaroyo'?) Tight VP race Last Thursday, the tight race between Binay and Roxas led Congress to decide that canvassing would not be terminated. The canvassing on June 3 ended with Binay leading with 640,000 votes over Roxas, lower than his earlier canvassing lead of 800,000. (Read: Binay's lead over Roxas -- Congress) Votes from some of the provinces and cities canvassed in the last days gave Binay a bigger margin. His lead in the provinces of North Cotabato, Batangas, Quezon City, Davao del Sur, Cagayan de Oro, Sultan Kudarat and Davao, Pasay and Makati cities ranged from around 20,000 to more than 100,000 votes. Roxas led in Southern Leyte, Pampanga, Capiz, Marikina City, Cebu City and Surigao del Sur by thousands of votes. Last Thursday, Binay's lead was only around 640,000. In June 2, when the NBOC suspended canvassing, the vice-presidential race was still very tight with Binay leading by around 120,00 votes over Roxas. Poll fraud? The Roxas camp claimed poll fraud in the vice-presidential contest owing to the higher incidence of null votes for vice-president. Binay's camp, however, countered that Congress is not a venue for investigating null votes. (Read: Roxas claims 'Garci' touched PCOS and Binay camp: Congress not venue for null votes) Binay's camp initally said that they were looking to win with a 930,000 margin. They claimed that the Makati mayor would win fair and square since he won in 14 of the 17 regions. They scored the LP camp for trying to condition the minds of the people into thinking that Binay cheated. (Read: Binay camp sees 930K winning margin) Before the NBOC could canvass the Lanao del Sur votes on Tuesday, June 8, Roxas' lawyer Joey Tenefrancia objected to the opening the COCs from the province, raising a number of observations. He said Roxas received 10 votes or less in 600 plus precincts, 40% of which are from Lanao del Sur, and zero to one votes in 94 clustered precincts, 64.66% of which were in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) where Binay received majority of the votes. He also noted that those areas in the ARMM have an unusually high voter turn out of 97%. On Monday night, Tenefrancia said he was disappointed that Congress did not pay attention to their concerns when he claimed that some precincts showed "statistical impossibilities" that favored Binay. "Senator Roxas has sought to ensure that the true will of the electorate will be upheld. We have consistently manifested and moved that an accurate and complete count of the votes be conducted," Tenefrancia said before Congress before it suspended session on Tuesday. The Roxas camp confirmed that they are planning to challenge the results of the vice presidential elections. - abs-cbnNEWS.com/ Newsbreak Share Save Facebook Share on Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Read More: elections congress 2010 elections canvass president pmp presidential race vice presidential race vice president OAV Liberal Party halalan 2010 lp Puwersa Ng Masang Pilipino canvassing tally

: If a hot girl wants to enter the smut business through the back door, theres no better place to start than on the eternally busy casting couch of ass-crazed director Mike Adriano. He offers aspiring performers a guiding hand and a hard cock, helping mold their butt banging careers with his patented, intimate POV-style booty perversions. In Mikes Anal Starlets #2, four stunning, young sodomites get the chance to refine their rectal skills through his patented asshole-stretching techniques. First is sexy Juelz Ventura wearing a shiny gold dress and matching stiletto heels that show off her shapely legs. She gags wetly on the directors dick. Rudely reamed until her battered butthole gapes and prolapses, Juelz receives a shower of hot cum. Next is petite, black-haired beauty Adriana Chechik. She slurps Mikes balls and swallows his throbbing boner in a drooling blow job. He relentlessly drills her sweet behind; Adriana sucks dick ass-to-mouth and opens wide for a tasty cum shot. All-natural blonde brat Bailey Blue unveils her small, perfect tits. After a nasty face fuck, the petite slut takes a butthole-stretching speculum and a hard anal dicking. Lastly, fresh-faced Hope Howell enjoys Mikes oral and anal hospitality. She gags and gurgles as he invades her throat, and Hope gets anally rammed while buzzing her clit with a vibrator. She obediently rims Mikes bunghole until he fills her mouth with creamy jism. Working their way up the show-biz ladder, the hardworking girls of Anal Starlets #2 will see their asses in lights.

Can Australia rise to the challenge of reducing the rate of avoidable stillbirths?
The large, well conducted study by Drysdale and colleagues published in this issue of the Journal shows a 2.4-fold increase in the odds of late-gestation stillbirth for women giving birth in Australia who were born in South Asia, compared with women born in Australia.1 The relative risk was most pronounced at 41 weeks' gestation, when there was a concerning fivefold increase. These findings concur with international studies and require careful consideration.

Types Of Autism
Autism is a developmental neurological disorder which includes symptoms such as impaired social interaction and inability to properly communicate either verbally or non verbally. Basically autism is a broader term which includes many other developmental disorders.
The term autism is applied to the general developmental disability which is diagnosed at the early stages of childhood. If we give a closer look to this disorder we discover that autism has different types with different levels of severity and different symptoms. Below are the five main types of Autism:
Asperger's DisorderAsperger's disorder is the most common type of Autism. It is a less severe form of autism which includes symptoms such as inability to socially interact and lack of proper communication.
These children have a problem adjusting to changes and do not like a change in routine. Due to this at the very early stage this disorder is often confused with obsessive compulsive disorder.
The child suffering from Asperger's disorder also suffers from a learning disability. They also have underdeveloped motor skills due to which they are usually clumsy. In most cases the child also develops a special sensitivity towards bright lights and loud sounds.
Although these kids may have a disability they usually have an exceptional intelligence, having a talent they excel at. As these kids grow up, if they are treated well, they may be develop their communication skills and learn to interact socially.
Types Of Sleeping Disorders
- Sleeping Disorders
Sleep is absolutely necessary for healthy and normal functions of the body. Many scientists and medical professionals even have much to study about this complex physiological phenomenon.
- Schizophrenia Symptoms, Causes And Treatment
Schizophrenia is a mental disease in which the person fails to distinguish between the real world and the imaginary one. People suffering form schizophrenia lose the ability to think logically.
Various Disability Aids
- Disability Aids
Flattering immobilized can twist custom tasks into enormous activities, but luckily there are numerous disability aids on the marketplace that is able to assist the disabled.
Kanner's Syndrome Or Classic Autism
Classic autism or Kanner's Syndrome was described and studied it in the 1930s and by Dr. Kanner. This type of autism is perhaps the most severe of all the types of autism. In this disorder the child suffering has a severe disability to communicate and socially interact.
Usually children suffering from classic autism never learn to speak and even if they do they can never speak fluently. A child suffering from classic autism has a very limited emotional connection with anyone and lives in his own world.
He wants everything in a same order and can not bear a change in routine. Other than that the child is also deeply affected by strong smells, bright lights and loud sounds.
This disorder has no cure, treatment may help a little, but usually it remains throughout the life of a person.
Rett's Syndrome
Rett's syndrome is comparatively a lesser known and an extremely severe type of autism. This type of autism is found only in females. The early symptoms of Rett's syndrome include: loss of muscle tone, problem in crawling or walking and an improper eye contact.
Later as these females grow up they stop using their hands to do normal things and instead start doing abnormal hand gestures such as clapping and patting their hands. These girls also have the inability to perform motor functions.
These females appear to be normal when they are born but as they grow up, they start to lose their basic skills and as they grow further they completely lose their ability to properly communicate, interact socially and they also lose their ability to perform normal tasks.
Childhood Disintegrative Disorder
This disorder is also a rare form of autism just like Rett's syndrome.
The children suffering from this disorder appear to be perfectly normal in the beginning; the symptoms start to appear between the age of 2 and 4.
The child starts to lose his motor skills, starts to isolate himself from other children and stops communicating.
He forgets his potty training and forgets to perform all the basic functions of life.
Slowly and gradually the children completely transforms and completely stops communicating and interacting with others.
Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified
This type of autism includes children with symptoms from all the other four types of autism disorders or they may not fully meet the criteria of any of the above given types of autism.
This is a complex type of autism and is not yet confirmed as one of the types of autism, but for now we include this in the category of autism.
Autism is now one of the most common neurological disorders of the world. Although this disorder can never be completely cured, it can now be treated to reduce the symptoms. This allows the children suffering to be able to at least live their lives properly.
More To Read: Depression
- Depression
We all go through tough times and feeling sad or low is as normal as the act of living itself. Feeling the gloom or going through a change of mood or simply feeling utterly hopeless and sad from time to time.
Autism Facts
As a mom of a child with PDD-NOS, I am a bit concerned with the design of your article. Specifically, you say that there are 5 types of Autism, but in your section headings, Depression and Sleep Disorders, as well as Schizophrenia, are discussed. I am concerned that a reader who is uneducated about Autism might think that these 3 topics are also kinds of Autism, which they are not.
Readers who want to learn more about Medical diagnoses and conditions would be better served to begin their research on reliable sites such as the CDC or NIH. Laypeople, even those of us who live with the conditions and are very familiar with them, are not qualified to disseminate health information as factual.
Thankyou. I understand this a little better.
The level of autism varies over a wide spectrum. Some have mild autism which enable them to speak and still function in everyday life. Others may have more severe forms.
Daniel Tammet is a high-functional autistic savant that had written multiple books and have been on the David Letterman Show. More details on this hub: https://hubpages.com/t/af5ab

"The video is a waste of time. Using an "instructional video" template from the 80s, the movie presents "advanced video editing" as a quick "how to" for simple and basic video effects that anyone can learn on their own. The experts who are knowledgeable, but there simply isn't much presented. What is there is simplistic, presented without much explanation and overly simplified. What you do get are systematic breaks with a 10 second countdown/time-waster stuck in between that help meet the total time length of thirty minutes. Don't spend your money on this unless $5.00 or less."

Tried another mascara from Milani, with it's great price point I couldn't pass it up, but was disappointed to find out that after a few hours of wear it started to flake irritating my eyes. Strike two for Milani mascaras.

I really got lucky with this one. I needed a new mascara, and without doing any research, walked into my local Walmart one day with the intent of seeing what mascara seemed high-enough quality at a low price, and for only dishing out $4 USD, it's pretty good. (I've recently found out that this is a Walmart exclusive?) It supposedly has a 3-zone brush meant for curling, volumizing, and lengthening, and I personally think it does what it says it does. My lashes are honestly amplified and defined, and I daresay plumped up. I really like using it, and the formula doesn't smudge except on the first application, but then again I'm Asian and the brush of any mascara will inevitable touch my lid. It even manages to stay somewhat curled for a few hours, when my lashes are literally stick straight and nothing so far has been able to keep them curled for longer than an hour or so. It's an HG product for me right now.
As for cons, I'd say the packaging does look a little cheap upon close inspection, ie. the pink metallic cap looks very plastic-y and flimsy, but for $4 I'm not complaining when the formula is this good.
9/10 would recommend!

I thought this mascara would do wonders for me because I like volume and curl, but when I flipped the brush to the spikey side, it kept poking my eye and I would tear up (washing away all my mascara :( ). It didn't give great volume or thickness, but definitely provided curl and separation. I would say unless you like getting your eyes poked out by sharp spikes everyday, don't buy this mascara.

I love it! My lashes are long and curl on their own, but they're light brown. I like a dark black mascara to make them more voluminous and noticeable. This mascara does a GREAT job, stays put, doesn't flake or smudge on me, and is relatively cheap. I love it and will repurchase.

This mascara is not good. It doesn't apply evenly, and flakes off through the day. I already have very long lashes, so mainly I use mascara to darken them, that being said, I definitely don't want something to make them look like a crusty, clumpy disaster! Will not repurchase. Milani products are usually phenomenal but I don't like this mascara.

Love this mascara! It separates your lashes and makes them long, leaves them softer then some other mascaras. The brush is a tad pointy you just have to be careful when putting it on so as not to poke your eyes!

I LOVE this.
It gives my lashes so much volume.
It caught my eye in the store because of the colorful brush
It was cheap and well worth 6 dollars.

I have to say that I seem to be one of the few people who really, really like this mascara. I have a bizarre fetish for trying new mascaras, so when I ran out of my Cover Girl Lash Blast Volumizing mascara, I wanted to try something new. My local CVS had all of their Milani BOGO 50% off. Since I needed a new tube of the eyeshadow primer, I picked a product from the brand I'd never tried before. They were sold out of all the other Milani mascaras, and they only had one left of the Total Lash Cover, so I snagged it.
The first thing you will probably notice about this mascara is that the wand brush looks a bit like some sort of poisonous sea creature. Or, maybe a bear trap. Either way, it has pretty colors and an interesting, albeit terrifying, brush. The brush is claimed to be designed in such a way as to give coverage to the lashes in the inner and out corners of the lash line and the spikes are supposed to separate the lashes.
Now, let me get out of the way my two downsides to this product, and they're relatively nit picky. The first is that it doesn't quite give me the some BA-BOOM! lashes that my Almay Intense i-Color Volumizer does, but that's okay. Sometimes I don't want lashes so huge they're tickling my eyebrows. The other downside is that the brush can be a bit unwiedly. I can see where if you were in a rush, you would struggle with application. I really have to be thoughtful in how I've angled that wand so that the brush isn't stabbing me in the eye or the end of the wand isn't smudging excess product in the corners of my eyes.
Okay, so on to the good points. The first thing is the formula is amazing. It is the only mascara I've ever used that doesn't make my eyes itch, doesn't flake, doesn't smudge onto my lower lash line or eyelid, doesn't make my lashes stick together like glue when I blink, and gives me all of the long wear of a waterproof, but is super easy to remove. It does give me decent volume. Enough volume for every day makeup. The second coat goes on nice and smooth and doesn't leave globs on my lashes, nor do my lashes feel/sound crispy when I apply the second coat. I do have freakishly long and thick lashes, so if your lashes tend to be a little on the short and/or thin end of the spectrum, this mascara may not be for you.
Bottom line, even if I wouldn't go to this product if I needed giant sexy lashes, I would use this every day and would purchase agai.

Milani is an underrated makeup company. I LOVE THIS MASCARA!
Granted, my lashes are naturally thick, long, and voluminous. Soooo I dunno if this is a fair review because most mascaras look nice on me.....
Anyways, my lashes grow down. Just barely a lift to keep them from scratching my eyes but people still notice my lashes and ask if they're fake.
I wish I had more curl so when I saw this brush I hoped that the curling power would work.
Am happy to say it did :)
This mascara is on the drier side so I dunno how people with small lashes would feel about this but it doesn't leave lashes crunchy!!!!
Also, this is cheaper than most drugstore mascaras because it was only around $5 v.s. other mascaras that are around $7. (Excluding WnW, ELF, and N.Y.C of course).
I like it and would buy this again! :)

Not terrible, but not good. The brush is so spikey that it basically stabbed my lash line when I caught it. It's pretty painful, and doesn't do that great of a job at lengthening or volumizing. The 3-zone brush concept was good, but it wasn't executed very well.
It makes it seem like I have three lashes because it makes them clump together that badly. I tried the mascara using the wand from my CG Lashblast, and my lashes came out looking pretty good. This make me this that clumpiness and overall bad appearance is the doing of the brush from hell.
It has pretty good longevity. I wore it on a rainy trip to the botanical gardens and it didn't run too badly, but it still ran. It has a little flaking and doesn't smudge or melt in humidity. I know there are many mascaras and beauty products out there that are a lot more expensive (I've used many myself), but this wasn't worth the $9 ($12 without my CVS value card) that I spent on it and I probably won't get it again.

I am trying to practice copying. (not tracing, where you put a paper over the drawing, but copying, where you look at the drawing and draw it on another.) I was trying to find sketches that I could copy that weren't super hard, but not really easy. The ones I found on this site where perfect! I loved the step by step directions. I printed out all of the pictures and got an amazing drawing. I never realized I could do something like that! Thanks for giving me these pictures; It really helped!

I really didn't think we would be able to distinguish any features this soon but it was so cool that we could! We went home and started looking at each of our baby pics to see if we saw any similarities. I think these pictures confirm what everyone is already thinking...he might be a big baby! Im ok with that as long as he is not over 8 lbs! Here is what he looks like from the outside!

SHAWNEE - Dean Green and Michael Walker made sure Miami's stay in the Class 4A state baseball tournament was a brief one.
Green struck out 10, walked one and allowed only one hit and Walker added a near perfect sixth inning as Berryhill cruised to a 10-0 run-rule victory over the Wardogs in a first-round game that didn't end until 11:55 p.m. here Thursday night.
"The kids had a hard time picking up Green's release point,� Miami coach Chris Mercer said. "The scouting report was that they would at that time of night and we didn't adjust very well. We had a hard time picking up the ball. He got on us quick and we just didn't do a very good job with it.
"It comes out of nowhere and jumps out at you.�
The Wardogs, making their first trip to the state tournament since 2002, had only one hit - a third-inning single up the middle by DH Nick Jones.
Their only other baserunners came in the first on a full-count walk to Grant Longcrier and in the sixth when Jesse Henson led off the inning by reaching on an error.
Green retired the last seven batters he faced.
"I thought we took some good swings and fouled some balls off and thought maybe �here we go,' but then he'd get a good strike 3 pitch,� Mercer said.
The game, originally scheduled for 7 p.m. at Ed Skelton Field, didn't get under way until 9:45 p.m. because of - surprise - several rain delays.
Rain has followed the Wardogs throughout the post-season. Their regional didn't finish up until Sunday because of the weather, then it looked like Thursday's first-round action here might have to be pushed back.
"The kids fought hard to get us to this point,� Mercer said. "I wish we could have played better once we got here, but it happens. It was a good experience. It's the first time any of these kids have been to the state tournament, so now they know what it's like.�
By comparison, this marks the fourth straight state tournament appearance for the Chiefs.
The teams battled to a scoreless and near perfect draw through the first three innings.
Green struck out seven of the first 10 batters he faced while Brett Abell had five strikeouts and yielded no hits.
Berryhill finally broke through in the bottom of the fourth, scoring three times.
Abell yielded a walk to Green and a single to Cory Haynes before hitting Dillon Haynes.
Tyler Brown grounded out, driving in the first run, then Michael Walker singled home two runs with a hit to right field.
The Chiefs broke the game open with a six-run fifth.
Walker again had a two-run single while Walker Davidson also drove in two with a single to right.
Berryhill also got a run on Miami's only error of the night - an overthrow to third by Abell on an attempt to get a force on a bunt by Dillon Haynes.
And the Chiefs added another marker on a double steal.
The run rule kicked in during the sixth, when pinch hitter John Rice drew a one-out walk from reliever Nick Henson, stole second and scored on a single by Walker.
"Brett got tired,� Mercer said. "He came off the 15 innings during regionals and it showed. They put some pressure on us. He put some runners on and we had the miscue on the bunt.
"For only having three hits at the time and five runs, it was strange looking up at the scoreboard and trying to figure how they got those runs so quick,� he said.
Walker finished with three singles and four RBIs for the Chiefs.

This study describes the increasing use of community based management of marine resources in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) and assesses locally managed marine areas (LMMAs), producing the first regional inventory. LMMAs are managed for sustainable use and utilize a combination of management tools; in this paper their geography, number, size, and governance structure were described and they were compared to areas managed by government initiatives. A synthesis of the 74 coral-related marine protected areas (MPAs) in eleven countries/territories within the WIO found only 29.6% to be ecologically effective. Approximately 7% of the regions' continental shelf receives protection, with 76% of reefs at risk from local threats, the most predominant of which was overfishing. This study also evaluated the potential for MPAs to contribute to the Convention on Biodiversity Target protecting 10% of coastal and marine ecosystems by 2020. Overall, LMMAs in 4 of the 11 countries/territories surveyed have the legal structures to support community-based management, which is lacking in the remaining 7 countries/territories. For LMMAs to be more effective, authors suggest the establishment of a network for LMMA practitioners in the region.

|A child cools down in the water
Canada has issued a special weather alert for the region on Thursday, warning residents that a "sultry tropical air mass" will make its way across all of southern . Ontario
|Torontonians will do anything to alleviate the heat
The City has opened a series of "cooling centers" so that Torontonians can come in and relax while swimming pools have extended their hours until midnight. The TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) has instructed train and streetcar operators to drive slowly since the rails have expanded due to the extreme heat.
The forecast for the coming days predicts more of the same, above normal temperatures from
Alberta through to . Toronto will only cool down with some rain on Sunday evening. Prince Edward Island
|Fresh water feels like a blessing
Special Advisory Canada
Extreme temperatures and humidex values will continue this evening. The humid tropical air mass has arrived as expected. The strong July sun has caused the mercury to soar well into the middle and upper thirties. Combining the record setting temperatures with the high humidity in this tropical air mass has resulted in oppressive humidex values in the low to mid forties across all of
Southern Ontario. The situation will continue into this evening. Current indications suggest that a weak front will slip through tonight. However in the wake of the front it will continue to be hot on Friday with temperatures in the low to mid thirties but somewhat less humid. Well above normal temperatures will continue into the weekend for most of Southern Ontario with temperatures reaching the low thirties again on Saturday. It will be the combination of the duration of the high heat along with warm overnight conditions which makes this heat event particularly significant. During times of high heat and humidity, it is critical to stay properly hydrated by drinking Plenty of fluid like water or juice. Strenuous outdoor activities should be scheduled during the early morning or evening hours. Wear loose fitting, light weight clothing and spend as much time as possible in air conditioned places. Stay out of the sun and never leave elderly, children or pets unattended in a car.

The eye can be examined with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical assessment includes the capability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye may be checked in several ways. The patient may be asked to determine illuminated letter or objects of differing sizes on exactly what is called the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous methods. Stress within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In certain illness, specifically in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased markedly.
However, it must be well bore in mind that a patient with an eye problem may have other problems as well. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can signal the physician and the client to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
Consequently, one's reliance on sight is emphasized when one faces a short-lived or possible irreversible loss of this important sense. Thus, when corrective steps are sought, specific types of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with the truth that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgical operations were established to motivate reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Basically, LASIK eye surgery is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another type of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer navigate here laser."
The primary purpose of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, allowing much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals need to know. Probably, the primary reason that this type of eye surgical treatment has ended up being well accepted is because the majority of its cases had achieved success.
browse this site In spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgical treatment includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate parts of the eye, the majority of individuals state that the operation can be very dangerous.
In other words, a easy mistake might nearly trigger an individual's lifetime blindness. Hence, it is necessary to think about many factors before choosing whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the best restorative step one needs to undergo.
2. It is not a ideal treatment
LASIK eye surgery may fix your vision but it does not always indicate that it can give you a twenty-twenty. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the clients might have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily mean they have perfect vision too.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK might not constantly be the ideal eye surgery the way many individuals see it
Alternatively, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in numerous ways. It must be well kept in mind that a patient with an web eye issue might have other problems. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can notify the doctor and the client to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other symptoms present themselves.
Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction.
Two Points Individuals Do Not Have Knowledge Of Concerning LASIK Eye Surgery
The eye can be examined with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical assessment includes the capability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.

To Solo Touch and Betty Dodson, THANK YOU !!!. I wish I had this much info years ago to support my thoughts of 'normality'
Since as early as I can recall I was always eager to learn and explore all aspects of sex. From the discovery of how enjoyable my own cock was and is to the discovery of the female form. It wasn't till I sat down at this site and started to read the stories each day and realise I had missed so many opertunities with friends and family to have more fun and learning than I have had.
I have masturbated all my life and still do regularly, at least once and as much as three times a day and alwaye when on this site. I remember seeing my brother and my two sisters masturbate but always left them alone and never said anything to them. I am the youngest in our family and there was never any taboo subjects on anything sexual.
Now at 45 I see the things I missed with them and my only memory of a sexual adventure outside of my own self exploration was with a male friend in my tree house, in primary school, when we had mutual masterbation, and even that was interupted by my mother and we never got to try again. Now in my own home I enjoy my cock as often as I can even now as I write to you I am enjoying the feel of my hard and very wet cock and wishing someone was watching.
I always go around naked at home and masturbate in or outside the house as we have good privacy. My girlfriend and I like to watch each other or video each other to watch later and the close up shots are best. I have also discovered the magic of anal stimulation by my girlfriend during masturbation, but I don't last too long and blow my load fairly quick when she enters me with her finger or vibrator.
We now enjoy our sex and masturbation much more and both last MUCH LONGER !! and come more often!. We are looking for another couple to masturbate with and try same sex mutual masturbation together at home. I'm getting close to orgasm now and my pace has got faster as I think of times to cum, my pre-cum is dripping off my cock and hand down to my balls and between my legs. Have to go now, keep the stories cumming as I am, thanks again for the Touch of Solo Touch.

7 Considerations for Outsourcing Your Network Migration Projects
Vertek Blog Series – "Lessons Learned: Effective Carrier Migrations," Part 4
By Brad Soutiere, President and Chief Operations Officer, Vertek Corporation
Vertek Corporation's continuing blog series focuses on several key areas of managing migrations. Based on Vertek's more than 28 years' experience supporting carrier migrations, our blogs examine activities such as building a sound business case, maintaining a positive customer experience and managing change. In this blog, Part 4 of our series, Vertek discusses 7 important areas that should be considered when looking to successfully outsource activities that are outside the capabilities or bandwidth of your normal business-as-usual teams during a network migration.
Smooth migrations are the result of careful planning and implementing proven processes. This is essential in order to prevent overloading of your internal resources and avoid customer dissatisfaction and possible churn. Some "business as usual" (BAU) processes might be used to facilitate overall migration, but additional non-BAU processes and approaches might also be required in order to ensure success in a timely fashion. In the latter instance, you might look to outsource a portion of your migration. If you go this route, choosing one or more partners will be among the most important decisions you can make as you consider your options.
Once you have assessed your available internal resources, and weighed the potential advantages of outsourcing some, or even all, elements of your network migration, there are 7 key areas you should consider before choosing an outsource partner.
Dedicated Focus and Shared Responsibility
Unlike trying to use different internal resources and organizations to do the work, where day jobs will get in the way and will suffer, outsourcing provides a dedicated focus, delivering expert execution and results that are designed to meet your expectations. The ability to focus, drive and react to changes in a timely fashion is clearly a key benefit to using an outsourcing partner.
An outsourced partner also gives you the ability to set service level agreements (SLAs) that the partner will be required to meet. This shared responsibility ensures that your partner will have 'skin in the game' with a commitment and focus to drive the project to a successful completion in a timely fashion.
Organizational Pressures Relieved
While internal organizations still need to actively participate in the migration effort, the use of an outsourcing partner changes the focus, and can relieve the pressure on your internal teams. Those internal resources can now become a support arm instead of an execution arm, and can be relied upon for their expert domain knowledge and experience in solving challenges with respect to systems and processes.
A focus on the Customer Experience
Any time there's an end customer migration there's a risk of customer dissatisfaction and churn. Regions and markets may have different processes, and could potentially increase the number of contact points end customers would have deal with if they get passed between different internal carrier organizations during the migration. Migration outsourcing partners specialize in coordination with different functional organizations, and have the ability to manage multiple products simultaneously. They can work with diverse processes by leveraging their advanced tool sets and project management skills, which can more effectively augment your teams, and act as a single point of contact to improve and manage the end customer experience. This reduces confusion and maintains a high level of customer satisfaction.
Migration Planning Support and Validation
Effective planning is paramount to your migration success. Experienced outsourcing partners who specialize in migrations have gained a unique perspective that can prove very valuable when validating a migration plan you have developed. Alternatively, you might have them participate up-front in the migration planning itself. Migrations tend to be very fluid, and often require changes to be implemented in "real time" to effectively deal with process, communication or customer satisfaction issues.
Starting out with a solid plan enables you to change it dynamically as needed. This will improve your ability to deliver with a high degree of predictability, which is very critical to keeping the project both on track and on budget. Leveraging a partner that has the experience in journey mapping, defining methods and procedures, leveraging advanced data analytics, and has both practical and applied experience in delivering these services can be a great asset to you in the migration planning process.
Migration Tools, Reporting and Metrics
Often a migration exposes the need for system updates in order to capture migration activities and metrics. However, development projects take time and can adversely affect the timeline for completion of your migration project, which will in turn delay revenue recognition. An outsourcing partner can alleviate this need by leveraging their own existing tools to capture migration work activity and metrics for reporting.
Experienced outsourcing partners will have tools and systems ready to go, including a robust analytic and reporting capability, which allows the migration to start on time and stay on schedule. This is critical to meeting your scheduled timeline, as well as measuring performance of the migration (outsourced functions as well as in-sourced functions). Having the ability to add additional workflow flexibility, adaptive analytics and strong reporting capabilities provides a neutral end-to-end transparency of the process. When choosing an outsourcing partner it is essential that their tools provide the needed flexibility to meet the changing needs of your migration project, enabling completion of the project on time and on budget.
Continual Process Improvement and Root Cause Analysis
One advantage of using a partner is the ability to focus on continuous process improvement in real time. This gives you the ability to adapt to inevitable change that occurs during the migration without affecting your other BAU processes. Root cause analysis focuses on capturing the detailed analytics which tell why a trouble spot or situation is occurring. Providing actionable intelligence is critical to both effective communication with key stakeholders and rapid process improvements while the project is in progress. A strong outsourcing partner is much more than a simple execution arm. They can proactively adjust and complete the migration more quickly and cost effectively.
Risk Mitigation
Data quality impacts to a migration event need to be constantly assessed, and the ability to quickly react to trends and issues is essential. Rapidly identifying risks and providing alternative solutions for reducing those risks will minimize fallout and help contain costs. In particular, assuring data quality and being able to quickly modify processes will keep your project on track.
When internal resources get overloaded and cannot get to all the work needed with a planned or unplanned network migration event, choosing a strong partner will accelerate your success and help you avoid delay, churn and reduced customer satisfaction.

Bo Ryles and Roger Keel established this grand prix type race series in 2010. The purpose of the series is to generate funds that will support 4-H members in Georgia and provide a series of races that bring together runners interested in truly enjoying the camaraderie of fellow runners. The series grew out of the Keel and Ryles Holiday races and a lot of conversations around the water table after other races.
The Points CGRS (Clover Glove Race Series) calculation will be as follows: for each additional 5K distance, the points will increase by 10. 1st place for a 5K will earn 10 points, 2nd earns 9 points, etc. Those finishing 10th place and below all earn 1 point. 1st place for a 10K will earn 20 points, 2nd place 19 points, etc. Those finishing 20th place and below all earn 1 point. 1st place for a 15K will earn 30 points, 2nd place 29 points, etc. Those finishing 30th place and below will all earn 1 point. Understanding that the marathon system is based on miles and not kilometers, a half marathon will earn 40 points for first and a marathon will earn 80 points for first. There are no points added for races that are odd distances between the 5K intervals.
Example: a 10.4K earns 20 points, just like a 10K.
Gloves and caps are awarded based on points – one glove at the time. At the end of the year, winners are announced for overall, youth, "betweens", masters, grandmasters, senior grandmaster, and septuagenarians divisions. Scholarships are presented to Georgia 4-H'ers in honor of the overall winners. The number of scholarships and other 4-H support is based on the funds available.
Jackets are awarded to runners who participate in at least 40 of the races in a year. An extra recognition for those participating in 50, 60, and 70 races is being considered. We will be creative and cheap.
Bo Ryles and Roger Keel participate in a lot of races each year. A fundamental philosophy they share with the races they coordinate is "keep it simple, keep it fun — don't take this too serious." Both Roger and Bo have full time "day jobs" and this project is just a hobby.
Awards will be as follows:
- A left hand glove is earned by accumulating 144 points.
- A right hand glove is earned by accumulating 144 more points for a total of 288 points.
- A cap is earned by accumulating 156 more points for a total of 444 points.
- An embroidered running jacket is earned by completing 40 of the races on the series. The jacket is earned by participation and is not based on points.
- Runners participating in 50, 60, and 70 races will receive recognition to be decided. We are pursuing naming animals in the Fortson Farm after these high level runners. Another idea is to give each a certificate good for a reduced price on Clover Coffee. Example, if you run 60 races, you get a coupon for 60 cents off a bag of coffee. We are still working on this idea. It will be special and cheap. We do not want to take away from our scholarship funds.
- The male and female winners in each overall group (Overall, youth, betweens, masters, grandmaster, senior grandmaster, and septuagenarians) receive an award.
- The overall male and female award winners, based on total points, will have a scholarship named in their honor to support a 4-H'er.
In addition to the races coordinated by Keel and Ryles, there are several races coordinated by local 4-H organizations in the Clover Glove Series. There are also races in the series coordinated by other individuals interested in supporting the cause. To add a race to the series, please see the application to host.

Kris Boyd proved the old adage that form is temporary but class is permanent by turning in the most economical of match-winning performances at Rugby Park.
Following a disappointing season with Rangers, there were some who questioned the wisdom of bringing him back to the Ayrshire club for the third time.
"That's why I tried to sign him for Hearts," said manager Gary Locke. "One thing we never had here last year was a regular goalscorer.
"He had quite a quiet game but he scored two goals and had a hand in the other one so I'll take that every day of the week.
"Players like him are worth their weight in gold and that's why I brought him back here. Two chances, two goals: I know what his qualities are and if he can bring them to the team every week I'll be delighted."
Killie took the lead in their first attack when former Hearts midfielder Scott Robinson sent Josh Magennis clear on the right and his low cross was turned home by Boyd from point-blank range.
At the other end, goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald – who had also played for Locke at Tynecastle – stayed tall to beat away an angled drive by Alexander Della Verde at his near post.
The visitors equalised when Amari'i Bell beat Mark O'Hara to Jamie Proctor's through ball and lashed it behind MacDonald from 15 yards. Declan McManus ought to have put the visitors in front but the 20-year-old, last season's PFA League One Player of the Year while on loan to Morton from Aberdeen, saw his effort from Bell's cross smothered by MacDonald.
The hosts were outnumbered and outpassed in midfield, where assistant manager Lee McCulloch was a surprise selection in a central role.
MacDonald excelled once again in the 47th minute when he threw himself to his right to claw away a netbound drive by Antoni Sarcevic.
With Fleetwood continuing to dictate the tempo, Locke sent Jamie Hamill on for McCulloch four minutes later.
McManus contrived to outdo his earlier miss when he shot wide from three yards after getting on the end of a Della Verde cross.
Fleetwood were made to pay for their profligacy when the home side regained the lead.
Mark Connolly shot from 25 yards and, when goalkeeper Chris Maxwell could only push the ball back out to Boyd, he made no mistake from the rebound.
Chris Johnston put the outcome beyond doubt when he shot under the advancing Maxwell after taking a return pass from Boyd.
The scoreline may not have been an accurate reflection of the play but there were few complaints from the home fans.

text: ITHACA, N.Y., May 11 -- Cornell University researchers announced today they have created a machine that can build copies of itself. The machine is just a proof of concept -- it performs no useful function except to self-replicate -- but the basic principle could be extended to create robots that could replicate or at least repair themselves in space or for work in hazardous environments, said Hod Lipson, Cornell assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, and computing and information science, in whose lab the robots were built and tested. Each module of the self-replicating robot is a cube, about four inches on a side, able to swivel along a diagonal. Their robots are made up of a series of modular cubes -- called "molecubes" -- each containing identical machinery and the complete computer program for replication. The cubes have electromagnets on their faces that allow them to selectively attach to and detach from one another, and a complete robot consists of several linked cubes. Each cube is divided in half on a long diagonal, which allows a robot composed of many cubes to bend, reconfigure and manipulate other cubes; for example, a tower of cubes can bend itself over at a right angle. To begin replication, the stack of cubes bends over and sets its top cube on the table. Then it bends to one side or another to pick up a new cube and deposit it on top of the first. By repeating the process, one robot made up of a stack of cubes can create another just like itself. Since one robot cannot reach across another robot of the same height, the robot being built helps to complete its own construction. The concept of self-replicating machines was introduced in the sixties by John von Neumann. However, a fully autonomous self-replicating robot has yet to be implemented. Since then, various studies of artificial self-replicating machines have followed, using models such as the cellular automata and simple mechanical units. Johns Hopkins scientists recently built a prototype that uses Lego parts assembled in a 2-D pattern by moving along tracks; the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in California built a robot, PolyBot, made up of a chain of simple hinge joints that could shape itself into a loop and move by rolling like a self-propelled tank tread.

[Story] Ella Episode 1
chapter 1
Friday came as usual, i got dressed for
church practice. Osas and I strolled
along to the church. This was the first
time I'd be going to church practice
without my father looking over my
shoulder. Osas, although being a man
servant who attends practice always,
never went with my dad. He always
came up with one excuse to leave
earlier or later than us, or to drag
behind long after dad picks me up. At
20 dad trusted him a little more than
me. He was a student in uniben, so
there was little dad could do to monitor
him. We got to church about 20 minutes
before practice time, and we parted
ways. Osas went with his fellow man
servants, while I eft with my friends
Ruth and Hannah.
Ruth and Hannah were the only close
friends i have, we attend the same
secondary school, and attend practice
together. They were about my age too.
Mum knows them very well, and had
banned me from associating with them.
Both of them were very popular in
church and school, for entirely negative
reasons. Ruth in particular always filled
my ear with stories of her rich
boyfriends, most of whom had either
just returned from Malaysia or Italy. She
had a lot of expensive stuff to showcase
every week. She spends her weekends in
highbrow hotels in Benin city. She once
showed me pictures of herself in kada
plaza, somewere in Benin city, with one
of her Malaysian friends. I do not even
know were kada plaza is in benin. Ruth
knew how to have fun, she had an
exciting life going for her. I'm often left
to bemoan my own lonely little life, in
the cell my parents had created. Hannah
did not have the same freedom as Ruth,
her parents were just like mine. But
unlike me, Ruth knew how to get around
her parents. I knew she had a boyfriend,
a man servant. I guess i was the one
always left out. I kept thinking about her
boring my life was all through the
The day's practice went by pretty fast,
we were done and ready to leave. It was
about 4:30 pm, so i was heading
towards the gate hoping to meet Osas
somewhere along the way. I was quite
confused when I discovered that only a
handfull of us were heading home.
Others, including my friends were
hanging around. Even Osas was
nowhere in sight. So I turned around,
and went back to the church compound,
to search for him. I know dad would be
furious if i returned late. On my way
back, i sighted Ruth from afar, deeply
involved in a conversation with a guy.
His name is Ehis, he is alittle older than
us. He was a tall, dark skinned
handsome guy. I have seen him around
a lot of times, he was a popular face. I
stood far from them for a while, hoping
that the conversation will end soon, and
Ehis will leave. I don't like being around
him. There's a certain way he makes
me feel, i get nervous whenever he
came around. He had this soft gentle
and sweet nature, whenever i spoke to
him. He doesn't fail to remind me of
how beautiful i was. He had his way
with words. Most times, after practice i
spend my entire night thinking about
I was so deep in my thoughts that i did
not notice Ehis walking towards me.
"Hey" his sweet baritone voice jerked
me back to reality. " wow you are still
around, how come? I immediately looked
down, trying to gather words to reply. I
knew what to say in my head, but the
problem is that my head had been
disconnected from my mouth. I only
stuttered a few words, only God knew if
he understood me. I had barely finished
a sentence when I heard my name from
nowhere. Osas and Ruth ran towards
me, exchanged greetings with Ehis and
informed me that we would be leaving
much later. He said he had other things
to attend to. I was almost furious, i
knew dad would so mad at me. Ruth
noticed my indignation, and quickly
intercepted, "cant you see everyone is
still around?Come on let's have fun".
Before Ruth finished her sentence, Osas
was already on his way out of sight. I
resigned to wait. Ruth, Ehis and i
walked towards the church hall. Ehis
tried to grab hold of my hand, i quickly
moved my hand away. He didn't say
To be continued

How the Chevy Volt works – Click above to watch the video after the break
Modern cars and trucks are nothing if not complicated pieces of machinery, and that's doubly true of hybrid vehicles. You can bet that the 2011 Chevrolet Volt will set a new standard in high-tech gadgetry and computing tech on four wheels, so it's not terribly surprising that General Motors has seen fit to release a video explaining how it works using easy-to-understand graphics and animation.
There isn't anything contained herein that our regular readers don't already know, but for the average person sifting through millions of YouTube videos looking for something interesting to gaze at, this clip could be very helpful. Plus, the next time somebody asks you what the deal is with the Chevy Volt, you can simply direct them to the video pasted after the break. Easy as pie!

(CPJ/IFEX) - The following is a 10 January 2008 CPJ press release:
Station faces criminal charges for Putin slang
New York, January 10, 2008 - Prosecutors in the northeastern Russian city of Vladimir have opened a criminal case against local television station TV-6 Vladimir for allegedly insulting President Vladimir Putin in a broadcast. The station's staff has not yet been charged but, if indicted and convicted, they would face up to one year of corrective labor.
On November 30, TV-6 Vladimir broadcast footage from a local pro-Putin rally as part of their news program "Seychas" (Now). In his accompanying commentary to the footage, reporter Sergei Golovinov referred to the rally as a "Puting" - a play on the Russian word for rally, miting - and described the demonstrators as "loyal Putinists."
Following the broadcast, Mikhail Babich, a parliamentary deputy from Russia's ruling party, United Russia, filed a complaint with the Vladimir regional prosecutor's office. Babich asked authorities to investigate whether the broadcast contained insults to the president, according to local news reports.
"It is absurd to consider such tongue-in-cheek terms about public officials a criminal offense in a democracy," CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon said. "We call on the Russian prosecutors to immediately drop the case against TV-6 Vladimir."
On Babich's request, the Vladimir regional prosecutor's office opened a criminal investigation on December 4 to examine the footage. According to the local press, experts from the state Nizhny Novgorod Linguistic University found the terms "Puting" and "Putinists" derogatory and insulting to the president. Golovinov told CPJ he and his colleagues are currently considered witnesses in a criminal case. They could be convicted under Article 319, which concerns insults to public officials. An investigative committee that handles serious crimes under the Vladimir regional prosecutor's office is in charge of the probe.
Golovinov told CPJ the staff committed no wrongdoing. "We showed the rally and I commented on it, but it seems they don't like to see their own reflection in the mirror," he said.
Golovinov said the terms "Puting" and "Putinists" are commonly used, including by other media outlets. CPJ ran a search for the term "Puting" on the popular Russian search Web site Yandex.ru; it turned up 25,755 results.
CPJ is a New York-based, independent, nonprofit organization that works to safeguard press freedom worldwide. For more information in Russia, visit http://www.cpj.org
