Razer to arm lefties with the Naga if it gets 10,000 Likes before April 21st

Jealous of all of your right-handed mates and their Naga-wielding gaming rigs? Well, it appears Razer has heard the clamoring and plans to produce a southpaw version of the gaming mouse. The catch? A Facebook page must receive 10,000 Likes in a month in order for the project to move forward. Before you get too excited, the outfit warns that the left-handed Naga will take a year or more to complete -- but if the vote quota is reached, Min-Liang Tan gave his word to make it happen. Seems like it'll happen, too, as the page has currently received over 6,000 Likes. So if that lefty DeathAdder just isn't cutting it anymore, hit the source link below to further the cause.

5 tips to freshen-up a home you want to sell

Home sales are slowly recovering, but it?s still a buyer?s market. Before you put your house on the market, you need to do a few things to make it more attractive to potential buyers.?

?Most buyers aren?t going to have a lot of extra money, so they?re not looking for a fixer-upper,? says Angie Hicks, founder of Angie?s List. ?Take care of the little things to get your house in tip-top shape.??

Hicks says there are five areas where you should concentrate your efforts.?

Paint the place
?This is a great thing to do and it will really freshen-up the house,? Hicks says. ?It will make it seem a lot brighter and potentially bigger, especially if you?re transitioning away from dark colored walls.? When choosing a color, don?t go too wild. Hicks says earth tones are popular choices for both the interior and exterior walls.?

Use landscaping to boost curb appeal
Most of us don?t go in our front door anymore. Potential buyers do. You don?t need to spend thousands of dollars to create a whole new landscaping plan. But make sure the grass and flower beds in the front yard look really nice. Add mulch. Remove weeds. Hicks' advice is to keep it ?simple, clean and neat.? She says a well-landscaped yard can add 7 to 14 percent to the value of your home.?

Spruce up the kitchen
If you?re going to make improvements to the house, this is a good place to start. Hicks says you can typically get an 80 percent return on investment for kitchen remodeling. But again, keep it simple. You don?t want spend tens of thousands of dollars on a lavish kitchen makeover. She suggests updating cabinets and countertops. New cabinet fronts are about 30 percent less than replacing the cabinets.?

Bathroom makeover
This is another area that can turn off potential buyers because a bathroom remodel is expensive. Consider making simple improvements that have a good payback. For example, re-glaze an old tub. ?That can make the bathtub look like new again without having to replace it,? Hicks says. And it should only cost a couple of hundred dollars.?

Clean or replace carpets
Obviously, you?ll want to clean a dirty carpet. But if it?s badly worn or there are stains that won?t come out, you need to consider replacing it.?

The bottom line
You want your house to be as good as or slightly better than the neighbors? houses. But don?t go overboard. The most expensive house on the block is often the hardest to sell. In this market, a house that appears to be neglected is even worse.?

Angie has put together a list of tips on how to hire a remodeling contractor: 13 Guidelines to Hire the Best Contractors

Belfast: reluctant birthplace of the Titanic

The city tried to ignore the Titanic until recently because of guilt over its loss, but is now celebrating the shipbuilding genius of Belfast workers at the new Belfast Titanic museum.

Belfast, Northern Ireland

? A local, slice-of-life story from a Monitor correspondent.

Skip to next paragraph

?Belfast was a byword for gloom during the Troubles that spanned from the late 1960s to late 1990s, but it is experiencing a new vitality.

Ironically this coincides with the anniversary of the tragedy of the RMS Titanic, which sank 100 years ago on April 15 with a loss of more than 1,500 lives. Belfast is set to commemorate this sad milestone with church services and other events.

The city, which tried to ignore the Titanic until recently because of misplaced guilt at her loss, is now celebrating the shipbuilding genius of the Belfast workers who made her the most advanced vessel in the world at the time. Two recent developments helped the Titanic to become a source of pride: the discovery of the wreck in 1985 by Robert Ballard and the 1997 blockbuster movie, ?Titanic.?

Gradually it became respectable to talk about the Titanic in Belfast, and the city?s shipbuilding history will be celebrated during the Titanic Belfast Festival in April.

The new Titanic Belfast museum will be the world?s largest Titanic visitor attraction.

This befits a resurgent Belfast that was nominated by National Geographic Traveler magazine as one of the world?s top tourist attractions for 2012, and with the steady improvement of political relationships, the city looks set for much happier times.

Plan Your Home Improvement Projects ? Small Log Homes

Home improvement projects are full of tasks you want to do and many that you have to do. Every home needs its additions and with today?s budgeting and enterprising minds, the business of renovating and improving has become easier simple and cost-saving. Home improvement projects are great ways of expanding your home without really expanding them physically. Transforming your home into your holiday hangout is a great way for better lifestyle.

These projects generally have one or more of the following goals:

1. Beautification and added features

o Change of wall-papering and the color of the house
o Adding new flooring such as carpets, tiling, linoleum, or wood flooring
o Upgrading cabinets, fixtures, in the home

2. For Comfort

o Upgrading heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems
o Waterproofing the house

3. For Maintenance and repair

o Roof and floor maintenance due to tear and wear
o Repairing plumbing and electrical systems

4. To create additional space

o Extend the ?livable space? by converting basements into bed rooms, home theaters, or home offices
o Extending one?s house with additional rooms at the side of the house or, sometimes, extra levels to the original roof.

5. Saving energy

o Energy-efficient insulation for electricity and water

6. For necessary safety features:

o Home fire and burglar alarm systems inclusive of security doors and windows
o Fire sprinkler systems to protect homes from fire
o Storm cellars as protection from tornadoes and hurricanes
o Backup generators for providing power during power outages

Home improvement can be a dream came true for many people. However, it is important to balance up the cost of the projects against the return of the investment. Even if you don?t have any intention to sell off your house in future, it is still worth-while to know the real cost of the home improvement projects versus the quality of one?s lifestyle which it can bring significantly.

However, it is always better to have someone experienced and skillful to manage these projects for your home as the experts know how to run these projects effectively in the shortest time and lowest cost, with better suggestions and ideas to offer than you.

Google gives us some insight on the inner workings of Google Translate

Google may have started out as a search engine, but the scope of its services has grown considerably in the 10-plus years since its origin. Of the many products in its grand stable, Google Translate has become a workhorse platform, lending its multi-lingual chops to Chrome, Google +, Android, iOS, Gmail, and even Google eBooks. Few of Google's other services can claim to serve the company's core mission "to organize the world's info and make it accessible" as well as the digital interpreter. Since many take Translate's prodigious powers for granted (guilty), we figured a quick history lesson was in order. So, join us after the break for a video interview with one of Translate's senior software engineers and let him hit you with some knowledge about its origins and operation.

Heavy rucksacks storing up back problems for many school-kids

Thursday, March 15, 2012

Significant numbers of teens regularly carry rucksacks for school which top 10 to 15 per cent of their body weight and risk back pain and other related disorders, finds research published online in the Archives of Disease in Childhood.

The problem is compounded by a predominantly sedentary lifestyle, say the researchers.

They assessed the back health of 1403 pupils between the ages of 12 and 17, drawn from 11 schools in one province in North Western Spain.

The teens were weighed twice - once without coats and other items likely to add weight, such as mobile phones, keys, and change, but with the rucksack/backpack they normally carried - and the second time without their rucksack.

Their height was also measured and information obtained from their teachers about lifestyle, focusing particularly on sporting activities at school, sedentary activities at home and any underlying health problems.

Information on back health was also sought, including a diagnosis of a spine disorder and the presence of back pain for more than 15 days in a row during the preceding year.

Most (92%) of the teens used a rucksack with two straps, which weighed almost 7 kg on average.

Well over half of the teens (61.5%) were carrying rucksacks that exceeded 10% of their own body weight, while almost one in five (18%) carried a rucksack that topped 15% of their body weight.

One in four (just under 26%) said that they had had back pain for more than 15 days during the previous year. The most common back problem (70% of those with a diagnosis) was scoliosis or curvature of the spine, followed by low back pain, and contractures - continuous and involuntary muscle contraction.

Girls were more at risk of back problems than boys and their risk seemed to increase with age.

Those teens whose rucksacks were among the top 25% in weight were 50% more likely to have back pain for in excess of 15 days than those whose backpacks weighed the least.

The authors point to previous research linking rucksacks to altered gait and posture, which, over the long term, can result in chronic pain and other back problems.

Many children transport excessively loaded backpacks, which is harmful to a developing body, note the authors, who urge doctors and teachers to start advising parents and children on the risks of carrying heavy bags to school every day.

Small Business Marketing ? Trigger Emotions = Trigger Sales!

In recent years, neuroscientists have confirmed that only emotions can trigger decisions.

Interesting.

Most people mistakenly believe that it is logic that persuades us to do the things we do. But this is not the case.?

Advertising guru William Bernbach said, ?You?ve got to say it in such a way that people will feel it in their gut.? Because, if they don?t feel it, nothing will happen.?

Now I want you to think about that quote and imagine how it applies to your business and how you market and advertise your product or service.

Experts in psychology, neuroscience and hypnotism have long known that the higher a person?s emotional level, the easier they are to influence.? So, it just stands to reason that, if you want to sell someone something, it would benefit you to communicate with them on an emotional level.?

Example: Suppose I wanted to sell you a termite job.? I could say something like this:

?Termites do more damage to homes each year than fires, floods, tornados and hurricanes combined.? No one wants them getting into their home and causing damage.? That?s why people need termite protection for their homes.?

My statement is true and factual?and certainly logical?but totally devoid of emotion.

Here?s a better way to say it:

?Imagine?one day you notice a small fleck of discolored paint peeling on your breakfast room wall and next thing you know, you find yourself with a sledge hammer and pry bar and you?re ripping out sheetrock in your beautiful kitchen and discovering tens of thousands of live termites eating and destroying your wall. It?s obvious to you that they?ve already done thousands of dollars in damages. ?That?s what termites do to beautiful homes just like yours every day. They hit you when you least expect it and next thing you know, you have discovered the damage they?ve done. It?s a horrible sight when it is YOUR HOME they?re destroying. ?And, when you realize the whole thing was easily preventable, it makes you sick!?

Do you see the difference??

In the first scenario, the termites are in some far distant place in someone else?s home.? It is all about other people.

In the second scenario, they?re in YOUR HOME eating away right now! (Note:? I referred to ?YOU? at least 16 times.)

You need to be able to make someone ?FEEL? what it would be like to have this happen to them.

Once they feel it, they are much more likely to take action and buy from you.

Here?s my point, and it?s a simple one:? Make your marketing, advertising and sales presentations emotional.? The higher the emotional level, the more likely the prospect is to say ?YES?.

Thanks for reading this letter.

And thanks to all of you who take the time to pass along your positive comments and support.

Five Keys to a Great Relationship: "There's nothing we can do to ...

Posted by The Hand on March 12, 2012 in Relationships |

Sustaining a fulfilling, long-term relationship is tricky because it requires several essential qualities that may seem contradictory. Most problems in relationships occur because one of these crucial elements is missing or they are out of balance. All five of the following elements are critical in all fulfilling relationships, and particularly in long-term passionate, love relationships.

1. Respect ? Show Respect

Frequent irritability, criticism, or contempt destroys the connection and love in a relationship. John Gottman?s research shows that unless respect is shown at least 80% of the time, the relationship will spiral downward toward misery and divorce.

Most of us occasionally get short with a loved one, and should quickly apologize for any rudeness. It is essential that we show that we value, respect, and appreciate our loved one on a daily basis.

2. Self-respect ? Respect Yourself

Frequent self-criticism, self-contempt, or willingness to accept disrespectful behavior from others invites disrespect. The fear of speaking up and being rejected encourages further rudeness.

Demeaning self-criticism should be changed into constructive, positive self-talk. We must show that we have respect for ourselves, and therefore, stand up to rudeness, even if it is not in our nature to do so. While others aren?t perfect and may be rude occasionally, we must stop such disrespect instantly and on each occasion with a comment, such as, ?Excuse me?? or ?That tone does not work for me,? or ?You?re pushing me away. Please say it more politely.?

3. Independence ? Retain Self-reliance

Being too dependent on another person to meet our emotional, financial, or intellectual needs oppresses the relationship and stifles the passion.

While it is not necessary to maintain absolute independence or contribute equally in every area, we should aspire to be self-reliant in most areas, as well as to think autonomously and retain our own interests. Nurturing our individual work, passions, and relationships with friends and family vitalizes the soul and prevents us from becoming overly needy and dependent on a loved one.

4. Kindness ? Be Caring

Living a self-absorbed life leads to a hollow and desolate heart. Independence does not preclude kindness, generosity, or caring. In fact, it allows one to give out of a sense of fullness rather than a sense of need.

The joy of being considerate, giving, and supportive to our loved ones is one of the greatest pleasures in life. Making someone you love happy or simply making his or her life a bit easier often provides the greatest joy of being in a relationship.

5. Shared Enjoyment ? Have Fun Together

A relationship based solely on daily practicalities and responsibilities loses passion over time.

Fun, romance, and adventure keep the relationship vitally alive. Daily appreciation, laughter, and interaction foster a healthy, happy, passionate relationship.

Balance ? Strive for All Five

Most of us tend to emphasize two or three of the essential elements of a fulfilling relationship but lose sight of the importance of two or three others. Balancing all five elements ? respect, self-respect, self-reliance, kindness, and shared enjoyment ? is critical for sustaining a fulfilling, long-term passionate relationship.

Relationships are full of ups and downs and are never in perfect balance. We must continuously strive toward maintaining or reestablishing harmony and balance.

Unfortunately, it is not all up to one person. It takes two to tango, but only one to get out of step. Yet, balancing these five vital elements in all of our relationships makes our lives and relationships more fulfilling and robust.

Relationships are like a dance
It?s as much about your patience, kindness, confidence,
and sense of rhythm as it is your partner.

Irrespective of what sort you choose, there?s a number of standard documents that happen to be necessary. You?ll have to get licenses in addition to clearances from various government offices, tax identification, and verification from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).

Setting up your enterprise may possibly seem overwhelming initially, but hiring business consultants can make it less difficult. Pick a business consulting Philippines group with years of working experience. A competent consultancy will understand how to make the complete method seamless as well as trouble-free.

The writer is actually a foreigner that is seriously considering incorporation Philippines and wishes to locate a reputable business consultants firm.

MOSCOW (AP) ? The head of the major international election observer mission in Russia says there were "serious problems" in the vote that returned Vladimir Putin to the presidency.

Tonino Picula said in a statement Monday that "there was no real competition, and abuse of government resources ensured that the ultimate winner of the election was never in doubt."

Picula headed the short-term observer mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

A brief synopsis of the mission's findings did not address Russian independent observers' contentions that there were widespread cases of people casting multiple ballots, but said the election "process deteriorated during the vote count, which was assessed negatively in almost one-third of polling stations observed."

The Central Elections Commission says Prime Minister Putin, who was president in 2000-2008, got more than 63 percent of the nationwide vote, but the independent Russian elections watchdog Golos says incomplete reports from its observers of individual polling station counts indicate he hovered perilously close to the 50-percent mark needed for a first-round victory.

The OSCE observers' conclusions may have significant bearing on whether Russia's opposition forces will be able to maintain the momentum of the unprecedentedly large protests they were able to marshal in the past three months.

A protest rally has been set for Monday evening on Moscow's Pushkin Square, one of the central city's most iconic locations. News reports say some 12,000 police and troops will be on duty to ensure order in the city.

The recent months' protests were the largest public show of anger in post-Soviet Russia, where opposition demonstrations previously had been severely limited by officials, and any unauthorized gatherings were harshly dispersed by police.

However, officials gave permission for the massive rallies, which attracted tens of thousands, but it was not clear if the tolerance would continue in the post-election period.

On Monday, outgoing President Dmitry Medvedev ordered the Justice Ministry to present its explanation for last year's rejection of registration for the People's Freedom Party, an organization led by some of the opposition's most prominent figures. He also ordered the prosecutor-general to re-examine the legality of the conviction of imprisoned former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky and more than 30 others regarded by the opposition as political prisoners.

Some observers saw the move as a maneuver to vitiate continued protests.

Medvedev, "it appears, is trying in advance to break the protest wave, " political analyst Pavel Svyatenkov was quoted as saying by the ITAR-Tass news agency.

At least one opposition figured vowed that strategy wouldn't work.

In general, this step can be welcomed. But I don't think it should stop the criticism of authorities," Left Front leader Sergei Udaltsov told the state news agency RIA Novosti.

Our Families, Our Values: Snapshots of Queer Kinship (Haworth Gay

Our Families, Our Values challenges both the gay community and American society to examine carefully the meaning of family values and the nature of social institutions such as marriage and the family. It asks you provoking, even disturbing, questions such as: ?Is it prudent for members of the Lavender community to mimic heterosexual marriage or define personal relations networks as families, when these institutions are rapidly collapsing?? ?Are we attempting to mainstream American society into accepting different views of marriage and families?? ?Are we subscribing to notions of sexual property that are inherent to the marriage ceremony and the institution of marriage, when we choose to be married?? Despite the complexities of this issue, marriage constitutes a privileged position in western society, and, as this book shows you, without the legal recognition of same-sex marriages, there are many fundamental rights, as well as privileges, denied to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons.As Our Families, Our Values turns upside-down the widely accepted notion that only heterosexual people are entitled to get married, have sex, and rear children, you gain insight into personal struggles and affirmations that testify to the spirituality, procreativity, and wholesomeness of the diverse relationships of the Lavender community. You will also learn about various ongoing efforts to give religious pride to the various configurations of gay relationships, families, and values and the disruption of popular interpretations of the Scriptures that have been used to justify the oppression of sexual minorities. This book will intrigue you over and over again, as you read about:

• value systems
• transphobia
• equal marriage rights
• Buddhism?s rejection of ?traditional family values?
• Brazil?s sex-positive culture
• differences between gay male social formations and families
• choosing a language and terms that empower sexual minorities and the essence of the liberation movement
• sex as communion
• relationships based on nurture, not transactionDesigned for academics and students of religion, pastors, priests, rabbis, and lay readers alike, Our Families, Our Values is a multifaceted view of the gay community?s response to the public controversy over gay marriage, adoption, and foster care rights. Ideal as a textbook for courses in sexuality, theology, sociology, women?s studies, and gay and lesbian studies, this book will both inform you and delight you as it reminds you that same-sex unions bring much cause for celebration and that religion and homosexuality are not mutually exclusive.
