Question of the Week
Do you support Cleethorpes Town?
11/01 Wimbledon 2nd Half
By: Tony Butcher
GOOD grief, whatâ€™s going on here then! Town made two changes at half time. Coldicott was replaced by Barnard, and Boulding by Mansaram, with Barnard going to left midfield and Campbell into the centre.
Milton Keynes Mercenaries 3 Grimsby Town 3
11 Jan 2003, Nationwide League Division 1
Town started the second half sloppily, allowing the Mercenaries to apply some ineffectual pressure. The old Town habit of standing off players in wide positions reared its ignoble head, thus a series of long diagonal crosses were pumped into the box, meaning corners, corners, corners. Town were practically giving them away like a DFS sale. Theyâ€™d be mad not to take up an offer like that.
After a couple of extremely minor moments of potential concern (a block, a miss, a weak header, a chip and chase, all neutralised way before Coyne was called to give evidence), Francis missed a howlingly free header, and so we howled our pleasure. A corner from their left was swung high to the middle of the goal, some head tennis saw a bit of the old in-out, in-out, as the ball looped up, down, around and about. Ah, safety, the ball was arcing beyond the far post, Gallimore leant back and headed sideways, back across goal, straight to the unmarked Francis, perhaps 6 yards out. The Town fans stood up, ready to berate the raggle-taggle left back, but seamlessly altered their vocal chords to applaud a fantastic miss. Francis headed a foot over. A couple of minutes after that, perhaps 7 or 8 into the second half, Town slipped 3rd gear to accelerate away from the horse and cart XI. Nothing much to warm the frozen toes of Townites, Iâ€™m sure some tiny hands were frozen too. As Town piddled about in midfield, someone knocked a high lump up to our big lump, Livvo, about 25 yards from goal. Livvo headed on into the penalty area. Andersen turned and miss-kicked his clearance, the ball rolling gently up the middle of the pitch. Campbell sprinted forward and cracked a first time shot from 25 yards. ANDERSEN stood in the way, turned and deflected the ball into the ground with his hand, with it continuing like a stealth spinning top, up and over the flailing, wailing Davis, and into the bottom right hand corner. Oh , â€˜twas brillig, leading the slimy toads. But, we should remember, beware the Jabberwock, their jaws bite and claws catch. The Opposition fans used to sing "Weâ€™ve got Trond Andersen" as a boast, they werenâ€™t now.
There then followed 15 minutes of fantastically dull, poor football. Town simply concentrated on defence. Ah, I said concentrated and defence in the same sentence, surely that canâ€™t be right. But it was, for the quarter of an hour was pleasant in the sense that the Opposition seemed incapable of staying onside. Nothing of note happened, though the referee had begun to step beyond irritating to annoying with his failure to see fouls on Town players. When Town attacked there was more than a hint of arrogance in the build up, with loads of one touch flowing moves across the pitch. Gallimore was seen doing a volleyed cushioned lay off with his instep, Barnard succeeded in replicating the Eric Morecambe moment, though an elbow in the face soon stopped him in his tracks. Of course the referee gave a free kick to them. Clearly Barnard had headbutted the defenders elbow, with cynical intent to injure...himself. Shocking and surely a red card!
The Opposition manager stood on the side of the pitch issuing secret instructions to McAnuff. He neednâ€™t have bothered, we heard every word. And how come McAnuff has changed his name from Jobi to Joel? Will all their players do the same when they slink up to Buckinghamshire, the natural home of the Red. Noel Shipperley? Tron Andersen? Rio Leo-Croker?
All was going well, just 23 minutes left, the after match entertainments were being arranged, the Division One table being contemplated, some thought they should count the crowd. Then a dreadful Feydeau farce began, starring Mr Coyne, with support from Cooke and Gallimore, who spent the last half hour running around in ever decreasing circles. The Opposition left back decided to set off on a barnstorming run down the middle. Town allowed him to advance from the half way line before anyone bothered to get near him. Hawkins let fly from 25 yards, the ball cannoned off Groves backside, rebounded off Hawkins and dribbled towards the edge of the penalty area. Cooke ran back and passed to Coyne, not noticing the tiny figure of Darlington, who sprinted at our occasional international ball boy. Coyne hurried his kick from about the edge of the 6 yards box, "topping" his drive horribly. The ball flew at an angle of approximately 68 degrees, smacking the sleeping AGYEMANG slap bang between the eyes and looping towards goal. Coyne and Gallimore seemed to look at each other in amazement as the ball went between them and drooped over the line. Agyemang seemed to be way off to the left of goal and about 15 yards out and appeared to be trying to get out of the way, preserving his new hairstyle. It was some miss-hit by Coyne and a total fluke. But then again Townâ€™s goals had been a bit lucky too, really. But, of course, we deserve our luck.
You could see the Town players deflating, and the Opposition perked up no end. And within another minute or so theyâ€™d got another surprising goal. A deep cross from their right, somewhere near the touchline about 30 yards out, was pumped into the centre of the box aiming, as usual, for Shipperley. Ford challenged but Shipperley glanced the ball on into a space between Coyne and McDermott. Macca hadnâ€™t bothered to track back with Darlington, allowing the pesky little blighter to sneak around the back. DARLINGTON smashed a shot from seven yards out, straight at Coyne, the ball rebounding off Coyneâ€™s forearms, onto the near post and in. Can you hear the home "fans" sing? No, no. Was it the 15:58 to Purley rattling home? Was it the air conditioning? No, the few humans behind the other goal were flapping their seats furiously, attempting to make a noise of some kind. Now thatâ€™s a sound which shouldnâ€™t have intimidated the Town players, they are used to the tipping of seats when a goal is conceded. Only without the accompanying growls.
More air left the Town bag, but a little foot pump called Mansaram kept the hope afloat. Just after the goal, Town indulged in a little bit of passing and moving down the right, with McDermott raiding like it was 1993. McD chipped the ball up to Mansaram, who spun and from about a dozen yards out, hooked a shot a foot or so high and wide of the top right hand corner. The Opposition continued to pour forward, with a couple of long shots safely tumbling across the universe and into Coyneâ€™s waiting arms. No worries there. And now, the value of Mansaram became obvious. The ball was chipped down the left hand touchline towards the corner. Mansaram sprinted past Williams and controlled the ball. He was the only player within 40 yards of goal, so waited, waited and then carefully rolled a pass back from the bye-line to the edge of the penalty area, right in the middle. CAMPBELL steamed in, open his body and steered a right foot shot across the face of goal and halfway up in the left side netting. The Town fans erupted, running up and down the gangways, leaping with unadulterated joy. Less than twenty minutes left, surely theyâ€™d concentrate, or were they intent on being Banana Splits too?
To the chagrin of all right minded people, it took just one minute for the Sour Grapes to give Town a duffing up. Agyemang received the ball just inside the Town half, on their right. Barnard jogged back, Gallimore back tracked, so Agyemang continued. When about 20 yards out he slipped a pass through a gap between Groves and Gallimore into which Francis, all 9 foot 6 of him, ghosted unseen. FRANCIS, 10 yards out and to the right of goal, waited for Coyne then tapped the ball through Coyneâ€™s legs, the ball hitting the ankles, rolling slowly, slowly towards the foot of the near post and just dribbling over the line. More seat slapping, more fury and frustration in the travelling Townites.
The rest of the game was mainly Opposition attacks, with very infrequent Town breaks. There were quite a few moments of panic as crosses dropped near them, but despite headers and shots, nothing that appeared to be going in. The nearest was a Shipperley dainty feint on the edge of the area, followed by a careful right foot shot that went a few inches over Coyneâ€™s left hand post. As time ticked down, Coldicott was seen urging Soames to be introduced, presumably for the immobile, some say inert, Livvo. But no substitution was made and Town ended as theyâ€™d started the half. There were three minutes of added time, during which Town won a couple of corners. The first brought a scramble, ending when the referee made up an infringement. The second brought a torrent of deserved abuse upon the referee. Just 2 minutes 52 seconds after the board was put up showing 3 minutes of added time, Cooke swung a corner high, into the centre of the penalty area and...the referee blew for full time as the ball approached the penalty area! An astounding thing to do, for we all know that referees have been instructed to end games in neutral areas. Even the most cynical of Town supporters wouldnâ€™t call the middle of the 6 yards box neutral.
There we are, a couple more points thrown away by individual errors. Coyneâ€™s kicking was rotten all game, sliced, hooked and rarely straight. His fluff for the first goal has been on the cards for weeks now. But above all, the problems Town had were down the left, the last thing Town need is two Gallimoreâ€™s on Ice, for that is what they got in the second half. Heading for Man of the Match in the first half, Gallimoreâ€™s afternoon descended from good to horrendous, via pantomime and farce. He spent the entire second half backing off, allowing the Opposition to cross at will. Only the dimmest footballer would think that a wise thing to do against them. But he wasnâ€™t helped by Jogging Darren B, who was barely a presence in defence. Campbell was a constant threat when breaking forward and he did his best in hassling the much bigger Opposition midfielders. It was one of his better games today. Groves was more than adequate for 70 minutes, then his legs went west as his head went east. Itâ€™s called old age.
Itâ€™s Selhurst Park, isnâ€™t it. Thereâ€™s something about Norwood which brings out the worst in Town. We didnâ€™t lose, thereâ€™s something.
Nickoâ€™s Man of the Match
Being a contrarian, Nicko will shock many with his choice. Yes, Campbell was effective, and deserves his honourable mention, but throughout the game there was one boot that kept clearing, one head that kept appearing. I canâ€™t see anything to fault him with, itâ€™s the surprising Mr Chettle.
M Thorpe. Managed to get intimidated by an empty ground. No big decisions to make, no penalties, no sendings off, not many fouls, yet he was appalling in his decision making. The nadir was the end, that ridiculous ending at a Town corner, but a few minutes earlier he had shown willingness to assist the home team. Mansaram was penalised for foot up when Williams stooped to head the ball at knee height. I donâ€™t think he was worthy of a score, so 0.

Trade Embargoes are government actions to prohibit trade with another nations.
If the proposal is accepted by the Congress, it will be valid from the day it was accepted and lasts for 30 days. It's disabled automatically when the 30 days runs out. If desired, the president can propose another trade embargo with that country, and if it is accepted by the congress, the end date is delayed.
Note: The embargo is based on citizenship. If your citizenship country has a trading embargo with country X, you will not be able to sell products to country X's markets regardless of where you currently live.
Note: If you are a general manager and you have products for sale in that country, your offer will remain in the foreign market until you either remove it or the products sell out, but you will not be able to update the offer or create new offers whilst the trade embargo is active.
Note: Wars act like trade embargoes so always check the military page in your country.

Wow! Ground Control Coilover Kit Rules!
During last weekend's BMW CCA Car Control Clinic, I realized that the BMW tuned the E46 M3 for understeer. I think their intention was safety -- with so much power available, it's all to easy for a beligerent, leadfooted driver to spin the car exiting a corner. By making the front tires lose traction first, I think BMW was trying to avoid the M3 having a reputation as a car that is hard to control.
Plowing around the different exercises at the Car Control Clinic wasn't as fun this time as last year in my old E36 M3 with H&R Coilovers and 17x9 BBS RGR wheels all around. The E36 was dialed in -- beautiful neutral handling; the E46 was not. Around the skidpad, I had the E36 dancing around the cones with the throttle connected magically to the turning radius. The E46 just plowed around no matter what I would do.
Driving home from the CCC, I decided this must change. The car's soul is just to good to cripple it with so much understeer.
After doing lots of research online, I learned that three important things need to be changed about the E46 M3 to make it handle better. First, the front end needs more negative camber. The stock suspension allows for maybe one degree of negative camber, not enough to keep the outside front tire planted on the ground in hard cornering. Instead, it rolls onto the outer edge of the tire and loses traction (hence, understeer). Second, the front bumpstops are too long. When the outside front suspension is loaded up going around a corner, the soft springs allow the shock to compress the bump stop too easily. The result of this is the "effective" spring rate (or "wheel rate") goes to infinity. A high front wheel rate relative to the rear means the front loses traction (hence, understeer). Third, the springs and shocks are not matched very well. The springs are very soft, and the shocks don't seem to be well matched to them. The car rolls a lot, and thus exaserbates the first two problems (hence, understeer).
I knew I needed camber plates to address the lack of negative camber, different bump stops, and different springs and shocks. I looked at many different options, and decided that Ground Control was the way to go.
The Ground Control Street/Track kit (the "1849 Kit" in their nomenclature) addresses all of these problems deftly. It has their race camber plates, with calibrations etched onto the plate face. They work with the stock strut tower brace, so that's an extra bonus. When you order a suspension kit from GC, they basically interview you to determine what spring rate will bring the most satisfaction. My priorities were: decrease understeer, preserve most of the good ride of the stock M3, reduce some body roll (within reason). Jay at GC recommended 440 lb/in fronts and 550 lb/in rears. "You can take this to the track, but not get bitched at when you go places with your wife" was how he explained the kit. Fantastic! So I placed the order on Monday.
The kit arrived Friday. Arti called me at work at 2pm when she got home, "There's a big box outside the front door. It's too heavy for my to bring in, so I'll leave it out there for you." Nothing at work can be as important as a new suspension, so home I came!
The components were absolutely beautiful. GC's custom threaded spring perch collars were anodized red, with anodized gold perches. The camber plates are anodized black. The yellow Koni shocks (top adjustable all around is standard with the 1849 kit) are nice pieces too. It was almost a shame to put the kit on the car where it would get all kinds of grit, grease, and grime on the components. But better handling awaits! The front struts (strut, bump stop, camber plate) and rear shocks (shock, GC rear shock mount [RSM]) were completely assembled. They have a shock dyno, so the Koni shocks are precisely adjusted to your chosen spring rate. Excellent!!!
I got started about about 5pm. The rear was straightforward. Move the carpeting in the sides of the trunk out of the way to get at the RSM nuts before you get greasy. Put the rear of the car on jackstands, remove the wheels, remove the shocks, pull out the springs. Don't forget to release the e-brake, otherwise you won't be able to get the springs out. The new rear springs have adjustable spring perches to adjust ride-height. These must be attached to the upper control arms. Easy. I put the collar right in the middle of the adjuster, and the ride height ended up just right -- 13" from center of wheel to fender lip. Put in the new springs, bolt in the shocks, check the torque of the 3 bolts per side. Put the wheels on, put car on ground, torque log nuts. Total time for the rears: 1.5 hours.
Time for dinner. Total time: 30 mins. Total tastiness: off the charts.
Now for the front. Drive the car up on Rhino Ramps to get access to the front jack puck in the center of the front of the car. Jack up car, put on jack stands. Remove wheels. Remove the four nuts that hold the factory strut tower brace onto the strut towers. Remove brace.
E46 M3's with xenon headlights have a sensor that's connected to the front lower A-arm to keep the headlights level when the car goes over bumps. This sensor must be relocated with the GC kit. It comes with instructions and some hardware to do this. Pretty easy, but it was difficult to drill the one hole that was necessary to mount the sensor. Having a short-profile right angle drill would make working in the confined space a lot easier.
The E46 M3's front struts are different than the E36 in that the bottom of the strut on the E46 slides into a "pinch collar" on the steering knuckle. The E36 just bolts on to the steering knuckle. The Bentley manual specifies that the lower A-arm must be removed in order to get the strut out, but Jay gave me a little hint to getting the strut out without having to take more things apart. It took more than his hint. Here's what to do:

When working on the passenger side, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left. (this was Jay's hint)
Remove the two 19mm bolts holding the brake caliper on, remove the caliper, and put it somewhere so that the brake hose is not strained.
Remove the bolt holding the swaybar connector to the strut
Loosen the three nuts on the strut tower as much as possible without taking them off, or remove them then put them back on one full thread
Remove the 19mm bolt that "pinches" the steering knuckle around the strut
Jimmy the strut around so that the steering knuckle drops down as much as possible. It will seem impossible to get the strut the rest of the way out (but it's not!)
Now go back up top and tighten the three strut tower nuts (this is the secret step!)
You can then go back down to the steering knuckle and jimmy the strut the rest of the way out. It will come out!
Remove the three strut tower nuts, and you can remove the strut.
 Installation, as they say, is the reverse of removal. Getting the old strut out is the hardest part. The new struts are shorter than the originals, so they go in very easily. Button up the struts, torque the pinch bolt to 81 ft-lbs, and tighten the strut tower nuts. I set the camber plates to an indicated -2.0 degrees. It's a good place to start -- I'll let a pro align and corner-balance the car "for real".
I originally set the height-adjusters to halfway between highest and lowest, but the car sat a bit high, so I lowered it three full turns from that midway point. That pretty much nailed the recommended 13.5" from center of wheel to fender. Put the wheels on, put the car back on the ramps, torque the lug nuts, and back off the ramps. Reinstall the factory strut tower brace, and take it for a ride. Total time for fronts: about 2.5 hours
My first impression? "YEEE HAW!!!" This is WAAAY better than I expected. The ride is both a bit firmer than stock, and at the same time more comfortable. Body roll is cut in half, and the car seems VERY eager to enter and carve through turns. It still has that wonderful "planted on the pavement" feeling at 80-100mph that the car came with from the factory.
Arti and I went for a drive both last night (pre-suspension) and tonight (post-suspension). She feels the car is more comfortable now, and I feel it handles 100% better. Win, win! I love it!
As I said, the ride height is just about 13.5" front, 13.0" rear. I did a poor-man's camber measurement and came up with -2.25 degrees rear, -3.0 degrees front. I'm not sure how accurate my method is, but it doesn't matter so much. I have an appointment at TC Design in Milpitas to get the car aligned and corner-balanced. It looks good, drives good, and handles good. I'm a very happy customer. Big ups to the guys at GC for engineering such a awesome product!

Lightning connector not working
So I bought the lightning connector so that I could connect my 30 pin to it and use it to play music in my car via the aux connection.
It was working fine until yesterday, today morning when I plugged it in it was loose and I tried to keep pushing it in for a tight fit, but it wouldn't. so I try to play music and it wont play music through the car speakers.
should I take it to the apple store, any ideas how to fix this.

Well, it's either the adapter or the socket on your phone. Does the phone charge properly? Do other Lightning connectors lock in properly or are they all loose?

class=”sjarticle-copy”>The measure will increase the pensions of the approximately 25,000 individuals who retired after March 2000 and have been frozen since then, with no cost-of-living adjustments. The PERS Board has been withholding such cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) since 2003, when the state saw sweeping pension reforms (See Oregon Lawmakers OK Reformed Public Pension Plan ).
class=”sjarticle-copy”>One of the pension reform measures approved by the legislature suspended COLAs for those retiring between April 1, 2000 and April 1, 2004 (See PERS Board Implements Legislative Reform Changes ). This meant that PERS has been withholding COLAs for about 35,000 retirees, only 10,000 of which they have settled up by adjusting their pensions, billing them for one-time payments or other measures.
class=”sjarticle-copy”>The Oregon Supreme Court threw out two of the six pension reforms in a 2005 ruling, one of which included the block on the COLAs (See Oregon High Court Issues Mixed Ruling on PERS Reforms ). The 92-page decision called for the pension system to restore money to retirees’ accounts, but the fiscal impact was not immediately known.
class=”sjarticle-copy”>In June, Multnomah Circuit Judge Henry Kantor ruled that PERS must halt efforts to reduce pensions retroactively of those who already retired. Since then the retirement system staff had made a recommendation that COLAs be made to nearly 25,000 retirees, which PERS approved.
class=”sjarticle-copy”>Howver, the retirement system board is expected to appeal the June ruling, according to the AP report.
« PD2007: Experts Say IRS 409A Regs Release a Much-Needed Road Map


by Mathew Randall, Victoria Australia
Toshiba’s promotional guide explains the Satellite M40 as a “stylish, lightweight notebook that comes in two enhanced models for advanced mobile computing.” With the M40, this statement certainly seems true as it fulfils the role of both a desktop replacement as well as a portable personal computer.
Toshiba Satellite M40 Specifications (as reviewed):
- Intel Pentium-M 760 (2.0Ghz, 533Mhz FSB)
- 1GB RAM (2x 512MB DDR400)
- 60GB (ATA 100 5400Rpm, 8mb Cache)
- 15.4″ Widescreen TruBrite’ Glossy display (1280×800 native)
- NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 128mb PCI-Express
- Intel Pro 2195 a/b/g Wireless
- Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-8315 (DVD-RAM, +R / + – RW)
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional (SP2)
- Toshiba 6.1 Hour Li-Ion Battery (6 cell; 4300mAh)
Reasons for Buying
I have just completed high school and will be moving interstate to attend a university next year that will involve me living on campus in very small personal quarters, but also moving around the large campus from class to class. It was a minimum requirement that I own a computer but with living in a room the size of most people’s bathroom this doesn’t really allow for a full sized desktop computer. Also, the need to move around campus isn’t something that can be achieved by a desktop.
After looking at offerings from HP, Sony, Asus and finally Toshiba, I settled on two final notebooks, the HP dv4220TX and the Toshiba M70/S00. Both had relatively the same specifications. However upon visiting the store to buy the notebook, I noticed the M40 that was on display was down to the last in stock and going even cheaper than the Toshiba M70/S00 that I had originally chosen.
Where and how purchased
I purchased the M40 from an Australian shop called Dick Smith Electronics’ for $2,489 on the Managers Special’ which was pretty lucky as its stock price was $2,999.
Design and Build Quality
Toshiba Satellite M40 (view larger image)
The M40 is a large laptop. While not as cumbersome as the 17″ desktop replacement models available today, it is a 15.4″ widescreen notebook which rules it out for usage in economy class on a plane. The external case design is silver with black finish. The top of the lid is silver, as is the casing around the keyboard including the trackpad and palm rests. The keyboard is black coated, as is the screen edges. This look makes the laptop look professional and quite stylish.
Toshiba Satellite M40 lid (view larger image)
The Toshiba M40 screen is a solid framed glossy screen that shows no obvious signs of flex when pushed in any of the sides. A note that is very much worth mentioning is how easy it is to open the screen. It is by no means insecure and loose, but the latch mechanism to open the screen can be used by one hand.
The main body of the notebook is where you see a severe let down in build quality. While for every day usage, the body is well built and will survive most bumps and knocks, when one side of the body is lifted the flex of the main body is obvious. The plastic used to construct the body appears to be of a rather fragile nature, which is a shame because the laptop itself is so good.
Build quality: 3 out of 5
Toshiba M40 screen front view (view larger image)
Toshiba M40 screen angle view (view larger image)
As mentioned earlier, the Toshiba Satellite M40 screen is a glossy covered screen which in my personal belief makes it excellent for DVD Movies and even games. It is a low glare screen which is excellent for users who are often outside, or in the sun. The screen is a model that features Toshiba’s well known TruBrite’ technology. In a word, the image quality of the screen is superb. The brightness of the screen is simply an example of how high quality the screen itself is. It is a WXGA screen with a native resolution of 1280×800 which while very nice looking, has a bad habit of screwing with traditional square shaped wallpapers. Even the Windows XP Professional windows flag’ desktop looked seriously bent out of shape.
Toshiba M40 light leakage (view larger image)
Light leakage doesn’t seem to be a huge problem, but is noticeable around the bottom and right hand sides of the screen.
Screen: 5 out of 5
The Toshiba Satellite M40 features Harmon Kardon speakers which appeal to the potential buyer when they first see them. Unlike most laptop speakers, these appear to be rather high quality for their size. Most musical pieces (or songs to the modern person) play well, however as the pitch gets higher and higher, the limitations become very visible – not that there are any people who can see sound.
The speakers are adequate for most, except most audiophiles will want to find a replacement by the way of headphones very quickly. External speakers are an option, however the single Audio-Out port located at the front is not what you would need for surround sound, and on some audio systems produces a tinny sound that you would actually expect from the speakers themselves, not from the audio port.

Processor and Performance
The performance of the notebook is where the M40 really shines. It is powered by the Centrino bundled Intel Pentium-M 760 which runs along at a zippy 2.0 GHz. Windows XP loves the processor in combination with the 1GB of RAM that comes with the machine as XP boots from Power on to Log-in screen in a super quick 13 seconds flat. Once you log in of course, depending on programs you have set to run at start up can make the notebook seem slow. However like all computers, you just need to give it time.
The computer easily handles many of today’s applications and games and will comfortably encode Windows Media 9 video files without a serious degradation to overall performance. However I believe the 5400rpm hard drive also assists with this speed.
This notebook is ideal for most of today’s games including the regulars: Doom 3, Half Life 2, Quake 4, Need for Speed Most Wanted and Battlefield 2. The combination of Pentium-M 760 and the NVIDIA GeForce Go 6600 allows the M40 to play most of the games at high settings. It is worthy to note that some games seem to perform better in the notebooks native resolution rather than lower resolutions – an example of this is Call of Duty 2.
Processor and Performance: 5 out of 5
Heat and Noise
The M40 has a rather large air-vent on the left hand side as well as the processor fan vent located on the bottom. Both of these vents put out quite a large amount of heat when under full strain, but in day to day usage with music playing and a few programs open, the heat is simply a warm breeze. The notebook can be used on a lap, however this is not recommended for more than twenty minutes at a time as the heat becomes very noticeable.

The DVD Burner drive can be quite noisy when first spinning up a disc, but that quietens down quickly. For general use such as DVD watching or CD listening the drive is nice quiet but when you start using the drive in a more active manner — i.e. DVD burning it can become loud.

Keyboard and Touchpad
Toshiba M40 keyboard (view larger image)
The M40 keyboard is solid and sturdy with no keyboard flex (downwards) at all. The keys are quick to bounce back to position, yet the depth at which the keys move down seems very shallow.
Toshiba M40 media keys (view larger image)
On the left side of the keyboard, in its own little position is the notebooks main power button and media keys. The top two keys are to open an internet browser and a media player. The bottom four keys are used to control the media application once it is open. The media keys however, seem to only work for Windows Media Player which is a shame for iPod/iTunes users like me. Overall the keyboard quality is rather high, and it is the type of keyboard that can be used for hours at a time with no real complaint by the user.
In the good old days, Toshiba used to use Trackpoint devices on their laptops but have unfortunately moved away from this. The trackpad has a cheap plastic’ feel to it however it is like all trackpads, easy to use.

Input and Output Ports
The M40 features the following input and output ports:
Front view of M40 (view larger image)
Left side of M40 (view larger image)
Right side of M40 (view larger image)
Back side of M40 (With Battery removed) (view larger image)
- 1 mini’ IEEE 1394 Port

- 3 USB 2.0 Ports
- Microphone and Headphone jacks (front)
- IrDA Infrared Port
- RJ-11 Modem
- RJ-45 Ethernet
- Kensington Security Lock
- 6-in-1 Media reader
- S-Video Out
- PCMCIA slot
The M40 features most of your standard I/O ports and surprisingly enough even supports IrDA which seems to be becoming phased out on most other notebook brands.
Input and Output: 5 out of 5
The M40 is branded under the Intel Centrino package which means that it must include an Intel based wireless adapter. The Intel Pro 2195 A/B/G wireless network adapter is an excellent adapter with high signal strength even through walls. The 2195 does even better than other Intel adapters because it supports all three standards of Wi-Fi that are in usage today.
The M40 also features an IrDA port located at the front, as well as Bluetooth for all of your wireless communication needs. However the notebook also features a handy “Wireless On/Off” switch that when turned on, activates all three wireless systems. When it is switched off, all three wireless systems are turned off and not accessible by the OS.
Wireless: 5 out of 5
Toshiba M40 battery (view larger image)
Toshiba’s Satellite M40 features a 6 cell Lithium Ion Battery that according to Toshiba can last up to 6.1 hours. Of course, this is just a promotional stunt because running in battery mode with power saving’ features enabled, the notebook will run for roughly 3 hours on a full charge. Toshiba’s included Power Saver software is an excellent way of managing the system power consumption and settings, however users should note that you cannot use both the Windows power control, and Toshiba’s Power Saver.
Battery: 5 out of 5
Operating System and Included Software
This model of the M40 came with Windows XP Professional as standard which is good for both business and home users. Being a notebook with a wireless card, the M40 is assisted in network settings management by Windows XP Service Pack 2 built in. Windows XP’s Wireless Network Connection’ control applet is superior to most third party applications.
The standard Toshiba included software included some real handy utilities, as well as some not so handy utilities. Both the Power Saver and Toshiba’s ConfigFree are useful applications, with ConfigFree being an easy way to diagnose network connection issues. However as most professional and network savvy users will know, nothing beats good old Command Prompt and ipconfig.’
The speed of system start up can be greatly improved by using msconfig’ to remove some of the included utilities, most of which are simply not necessary.
The M40 also includes a copy of Microsoft OneNote 2003 (with CD Key provided) which is apart of the MS Office 2003 suite. None of the other Office programs are provided. A Trial version of Norton AntiVirus 2005 is also included.
Product CDs included with the M40
Product Recovery is a Norton Ghost based solution and is simple and easy to use.
Operating System and Software: 4 out of 5
Toshiba Australia’s customer service seems to be second to none. Hold times were extremely short as I ended up being on hold for the total of 5 seconds. The assistant was friendly and had a good grasp of the English language.
- Nice looking
- Excellent graphics performance
- Above average speakers
- Media reader
- Excellent wireless adapter
- Above average screen with Glossy finish
- Amazing battery life
- Some of the Toshiba Utilities
- Main body feels cheap’
- Main body is a little flimsy
- Annoying and resource hogging Toshiba Software
- Media keys prevent a full sized keyboard
- Trackpad instead of Trackpoint
On the whole, the Toshiba Satellite M40 is one heck of a laptop. Good looking, powerful and impressive, it is only marred by the slightly flimsy build quality of the main body. Bridges the gap between Ultraportable’ and Desktop replacement’ quite nicely.

Sarah Broadhurst's view...
The fourth and final volume of the life of Julius Caesar. History brilliantly recreated, full of high adventure. It is sad to see the end of the series but his next, also about an ancient warrior, should be brilliant too. I look forward to it.
Similar this month: None, but try Matthew Reilly.
Comparison: Bernard Cornwell, Valerio Massimo Manfredi, Steven Pressfield.
The Emperor Series:
1. The Gates of Rome
2. The Death of Kings
3. The Field of Swords
4. The Gods of War
Emperor : The Gods of War by Conn Iggulden
Caesar must fight his toughest battle yet – with Rome itself.
Julius Caesar, fresh from triumph in Britain and Gaul, is marching on Rome with his legions of hardened veterans. His goal: to unseat Pompey, now dictator of the Empire.
But waging war on your own people is never easy. And even after the city itself is taken and Julius, Brutus, Mark Antony and Octavian re-enter in triumph, there are many battles left to fight. For across the Empire – in Spain, Africa, Greece, across Asia Minor – there are legions loyal to Pompey. How will Caesar prevail? And at what cost?
‘The Gods of War’ is the story of ambition and loyalty, of friendship and power, of love and war. A famous tale, of truly epic dimensions, it ranges from Rome to Greece to Egypt and back to Rome; it shows how brilliant generalship can completely turn the odds, how overwhelming success can change even the best of men; it depicts brilliantly those famous names – Caesar, Marcus Brutus, Mark Antony, Pompey, Cicero, Cleopatra, Ptolemy – so that they appear anew. This is a triumphant conclusion to the outstanding Emperor series.
‘If you liked “Gladiator”, you’ll love “Emperor”.’ The Times
‘A brilliant story – I wish I’d written it. A novel of vivid characters, stunning action and unrelenting pace. It really is a terrific read.’ Bernard Cornwell
‘The great events and breathtaking brutality of the times are brought lavishly to life.’ Guardian

Timothy Donald Cook well known as Tim Cook is an American business executive and industrial engineer who is the Chief Executive Officer of Apple Inc. He is well known for his Apple brand across the world. However, US President called Tim Cook as Tim Apple in the meeting of the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board at the White House.
The video of this is going viral on social networking sites and netizens responded with the funniest memes.
People like Tim – you’re expanding all over and doing things I really wanted you to right from the beginning,” Mr Trump said to Mr. Cook, sitting right next to him. “I used to say, ‘Tim, you’ve got to start doing it over here,’ and you really have. You really put a big investment in our country. We appreciate it very much, Tim Apple.”

Children see the magic because they look for it.
Imagination is essential to a child’s development. The ability to form new ideas, images or concepts without needing to see or sense something embraces a child’s ability for creativity and resourcefulness. Imaginative play is also important because it enables social and emotional development. KIS Kindergarten students spent time at their fairy gardens in the forest using their imaginations and experiencing the magic of learning in an outdoor setting.

|Title:||Status of Long Term Care Needs of Aged People in Elders’ Homes in Sri Lanka|
|Authors:||Kaluthantiri Weeratunga, Manori|
|Keywords:||Internal migration, Spatial orientation, Efficiencies of migration|
|Citation:||Sri Lanka Journal of Population Studies Volume 21 Number 1 Page: 21-29|
|Abstract:||Migration is an important component in terms of understanding population change of a geographical area. Internal migration has been identified as a vital force in development with its characteristic of transfer of knowledge and skills through the point of destination to origin and vice versa. The main objective of the study is to identify the migration flows as well as to recognize the inter-district efficiencies of migration in Sri Lanka, which has not been examined before. Although migration flows have been identified with percentage of migrants flows in the General Report of the 2012 Population Census, inter-district of migration efficiencies have not been examined demographically with use the formula use to calculate inter-region migration efficiencies. of A meaningful way to understand mobility between regions is to calculate efficiency of migrations between a given region and the rest of the country which has been effectively and with the use of proper demographic techniques have been presented in this study. The results of the study reveal that the spatial orientation of migration (in the present study the spatial orientation is district as the unit of analysis) is towards Western Province of the country where capital city of Sri Lanka as well as Industrial zone is located. However, Vavunia, which is a waraffected district has gained inward mobility because of return migrants after the conclusion of the war in 2009. Although migration efficiency of Jaffna district is relatively high, the flow is outward by losing about 60 out of 100 people to the rest of the country. The importance lies in the recognition of spatial dynamics ( how migration behaves over defined physical space(s)) in the implementation of social and infrastructure policies as well as the labour market policies.|

MOSQUES will play a key role in the NTUC U Care Centre's (UCC) push to inform low-income workers in the Malay/Muslim community about employment rights and training opportunities.
The centre will team up with Singapore mosques to customise programmes and hold workshops for these workers.
They include those who receive zakat - money from the annual contributions that Muslims make to their community - and help from the mosques.
Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim announced these plans yesterday at an iftar, or breaking-of-fast session, organised by the UCC, which is set up by the labour movement to advise low-wage workers on work-related issues.
The iftar was attended by Malay People's Action Party MPs and 300 low-wage workers and their families.
"With UCC's help, you can upgrade yourselves, be more informed of your employment rights, and at the end of the day lead better lives with better incomes," said Dr Yaacob, who is also Communications and Information Minister.
UCC director Zainal Sapari said Malay/Muslim workers form fewer than 10 per cent of participants at employment seminars and roadshows.
"So we've decided to take a more targeted approach by going to places where there will be many of them," he said.
The centre, he added, aims to reach out to 10,000 low-wage workers in the Malay/Muslim community this year.
Programmes on the cards include talks at mosques on issues like employment rights, and training youth volunteers and those in the Mosque Befrienders Scheme to explain these issues when they visit low-wage workers.
Dr Yaacob also spoke of the importance of teaching workers their rights: "When workers are uncertain of their rights, they risk being exploited by employers."
He cited cleaner Maznah Saleh, 62, who was not getting her Workfare Income Supplement payouts from her employer, but recovered it after seeking help from the UCC.
Part-time cleaner Zainah Rasif, 48, who had attended training at the UCC, said learning about her rights was an eye-opener.
"It taught me that we workers have a right to voice out, too, so if our bosses are not paying us... we can go to channels like the UCC for help," she said in Malay.
The PAP's 11 Malay MPs also continued their Ramadan tradition of donating money to a specific cause. This year, they will give $16,000 to help low-wage workers. Last year, their donations went to student bodies for programmes to help the community.

To help combat the dire GPU availability situation faced by gamers, Nvidia introduced Lite Hash Rate LHR technology that put strict limits on the mining performance of select GPUs, ostensibly to get more graphics cards into the hands of gamers.
First things first—what is LHR? Undaunted, Nvidia returned with a second go at LHR technology across most of its lineup two months later. Nobody knows. It does not affect gaming performance whatsoever as far as we know.
This is strictly a hash rate limiter. Resale value on LHR graphics cards may go either way. Miners will value them less, on the other hand, due to their decreased performance relative to the price. That said, if crypto mining profitability increases, these may still be viable for miners even with decreased performance.

NVIDIA LHR Cards Full Unlocked Mining Performance
In this article we will talk about unlocking LHR graphics cards using popular mining software — lolMiner. You can read about this experiment and its results in the dedicated article. And if you want to learn how to unlock LHR cards with Gminer, follow this link. You can read the full article by following the link. Right after this post, experts started actively discussing the term "LHR". You can read the full article here. You can read the full announcement here.
POW 10 GPU Mining Rig (NVIDIA)
Most series graphics cards purchased in recent months are low hash rate LHR cards. However, the mining community has been hard at work on circumventing these restrictions ever since they were created. In this post, I will discuss the options for mining with an LHR card and how to get the most out of your card. Even today, a year after their initial release, it is getting harder to find a series graphics card. Many think that our ongoing silicon shortage is the cause, however, for the majority of their existence, series GPUs have been produced at a faster rate than Nvidia has produced past cards. While these cards are in high demand for many reasons, a driving factor is undoubtedly how profitable they are at mining cryptocurrencies. Ethereum mining has been extremely profitable throughout and has remained profitable despite changes to the fee structure with EIP

Optimize your machines by applying overclock, underclock, and undervolt to the GPUs. Use --statsformat to use custom format for the bigger statistic box. The expected values are either compact or default or extended or a comma separated list of values.
New software circumvents Nvidia's LHR limiter by dual mining
Cryptocurrency miners continue to show ingenuity on the path to their glittering virtual prizes. However, T-Rex has another trick up its sleeve, allowing full use of the GPU's theoretical resources by mining two different 'brand' coins at once. Another thing you must consider when 'dual mining' is the VRAM you will need. PC gamers looking to upgrade still face difficulty sourcing reasonably priced GPUs. The latest news about this tech switchover suggests it is scheduled to happen in December.

This miner is display of detailed information on each device. The development team never stops at what has been achieved and achieves the maximum performance of the algorithms with the minimum power consumption, it is these qualities that distinguish GMiner from the competitors and win the hearts of users.
To do this, the company introduced Lite Hash Rate LHR cards, with a hash rate limiter the was supposed to reduce crypto-mining performance. The technology handicaps the GPUs effectiveness in mining Ethereum, but it ultimately didn't make much of an impact, for a variety of reasons. At least one cryptocurrency miner has come forward and said the LHR graphics card are still profitable. Blake Teeter, based in Colorado, started mining crypto just as a hobby.

NBMiner, the mining software, has recently released an update. By default it is set to 0, the LHR mode with -lhr 68 will be applied automatically when a certain lhr GPU is detected, you can also manually configure it. The LHR limiter has severely affected the Ethash hashrates so far.

After many work making and preparing the documentation for the DIY format we can publish the first documents for the first batch of Antonus 2600 Original Scale version:
This project is going to mean something very special for those who want to live the experience of assembling an instrument of this level and on this scale. Obviously for those who know how the Antonus 2600 is manufactured, this is using thru-hole components respecting the original design and its components. Using original components, thru-hole, wiring… it’s not the easiest or cheapest way, but it will allow you to respect the original character, its sound, its behaviour and the sensation that the instrument transmits (something very special). Also, once the experience and result are over, the user has to feel the sensation of having built an original 2600. It will not be a kit for beginners, on the contrary it will be a kit for advanced people with experience in kitting for several reasons:
It is a very dense project as many components and many soldering points. If the user does not have a good experience, it can be chaos if user makes a mistake in positions, values, polarities or performs poor soldering.
Good tools are needed to assemble and calibrate. Being a device with many components, it is recommended to have good soldering equipment and, in case of mistakes, good equipment or desoldering techniques (very important point to avoid damaging PCBs).
Big work space. It’s a big device, very old school. I have no idea if there is a DIY project bigger than this, so it’s going to involve a large work surface. At first it can be assembled from small parts and then move on to the three motherboards that make up the 2600 panel. And then in the final stage the assembly of all the parts is carried out to later calibrate the entire equipment. If you do not have a good work table with good order and cleanliness, it can be quite complicated to assemble such device
And especially, a lot of patience. It is a project with many hours of work until reaching the end, so it is not recommended for impatient users who want to solve the project in a few days.
For all this reasons the first batch will be limited to 20 or 30 kits, as by the moment there is no building guide in a classic way. Anyone can find all the technical documentation, detailed with schematics, layouts, and BOM files but there is no the typical building guide with detailed steps and procedures that helps to non experienced builders. If the experience with the first batch goes well it will help to develop a building guide for bring access to less skilled builders to make this project. The first batch will be useful for design this future building guide. This limited small run will help to ensure that anyone have time and support from Antonus, because yes this a question of limitation of time for bring support, and need that every batch is limited in quantity to avoid overflow in support. Next batches with building guide developed will make possible to increase the units number x batch.
Being the first batch and the first time that Antonus goes into the DIY field this run will be useful for add many indications and instructions for further editions and help to make better documentation for allow more users levels. The Modwiggler thread will be very useful for document all the progress about that. https://www.modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=275887
The internal build design is based just like the original with motherboards where the famous ARP submodules are connected. The module sockets have double footprints, to allow easy connection to both Antonus and ARP versions. Even the Antonus modules have the pins to be connected to the ARP boards. With this, total interconnection between ARP and Antonus is allowed. One can use Antonus modules to repair an old ARP2600 or use ARP modules on the Antonus 2600, demonstrating full compatibility between both instruments.
One important aspect of this project is the case itself:
We will offer two options:
The classic Tolex Road case replica of the original ARP2600. The most faithful option, and also the most pricey option in finish and shipping cost. This will be the most wanted version, but the price can be a inconvenient for many people to choose this option for finish the instrument.
That is why we are already starting to develop a case dedicated to the DIY version. The premises:
It has to be much more affordable than the Tolex case, less than half the price.
That it can be supplied disassembled for a more economical and efficient transport when sent by courier, so again there is money saving here with transport.
Easy to assemble.
Build quality and stability.
Follow the design inspiration of the ARP2600
Must allow the installation of Step Brother units in top of the unit using the vertical brackets, like the classic Antonus system.
There is some pictures of the development of this cabinet, if all the thing goes well with the first prototype we estimate to have the design finished and ready for distribution during October 2023.
For this first batch of kits the selling points will be:
1- Antonus directly using contact form
Later in next batches will add some dealers for distribution.
For this first run the DIY options are:
Front Panel Antonus 2600 OS panel kit:

Elizabeth Warren made an announcement about 2020 that will make Trump supporters happy
Leftists are looking for their next Hillary Clinton.
They think Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren is the perfect replacement.
And she said one thing about 2020 that should make Trump supporters very happy.
Sen. Warren confirmed rumors today, that she is considering running for President in 2020.
The Daily Beast reports:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), one of the most high-profile progressives on the U.S. Senate, said Saturday that she will seriously consider a presidential run after November’s midterm elections.
“Let’s face it, Donald Trump is taking this country in the wrong direction,” Warren told an audience member at a town hall in Holyoke, Massachusetts, according to remarks sent to The Daily Beast by a spokesperson.
“Working people have taken one punch to the gut after another,” she continued. “And I am worried down to my bones about what Donald Trump is doing to our democracy.”
“I watched that and I thought time’s up. Time’s up,” she said. “It’s time for women to go to Washington and fix our broken government and that includes a woman at the top. So here’s what I promise, after November 6, I will take a hard look at running for president.”
The reality is, Elizabeth Warren has been plotting to run for President since the day Donald Trump entered office.
So-called “progressives” hate the fact that President Trump’s agenda is working.
Elizabeth Warren believes she can replace Hillary Clinton as the leader of the Democrat Party.
But she has been one of President Trump’s favorite punching bags.
He often pokes fun at her for claiming to be Native American, by calling her “Pocahontas.”
A Trump-Warren 2020 presidential debate would be a bloodbath.
Democrats have pushed all their chips on the table for socialist candidates.
And Elizabeth Warren fits that mold.
Elizabeth Warren’s Presidential campaign may be over before it even starts.

May 11, 2012 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently published an article in the New England Journal of Medicine regarding an analysis of the risks of long-term use of bisphosphonate osteoporosis drugs.
In an unusual move for the administration, health experts reviewed the existing long-term safety studies and made suggestions for studies that should be conducted in the future to better understand the risk.
Bisphosphonate osteoporosis drugs include Fosamax, Actonel, Boniva, and Atelvia. These drugs are used by millions of people to slow bone-loss associated with osteoporosis. Unfortunately, the FDA has received numerous reports of severe adverse events. Side effects of bisphosphonate drugs includes esophageal cancer, bone deterioration in the jaw (osteonecrosis), and bone fractures (especially in the femur). Older women seem to have the highest risk of suffering these severe side effects.
All studies have determined that bisphosphonate drugs are effective at treating osteoporosis, with greater benefit than risk for approximately 3-5 years. However, there is very little scientific information regarding their long-term use, especially beyond five years.
In September 2011, an independent FDA committee investigated the issue and voted to update the warnings on all bisphosphonate drugs to warn patients about the potential long-term health risks. However, they voted against regulator action to restrict long-term sales of the drugs, because the scientific evidence is still inconclusive.
Currently, the labels on bisphosphonate drugs carry an “Important Limitation of Use” warning. The statement reads: “The optimal duration of use has not been determined. All patients on bisphosphonate therapy should have the need for continued therapy re-evaluated on a periodic basis.”
However, there is no clear criteria for this re-evaluation. The FDA concluded their analysis by recommending that scientists create a way to determine whether a patient can safely use a bisphosphonate drug for longer than five years. They suggested that younger patients likely should not use the drugs for long periods of time, but for older patients, the benefits may outweigh the risks.
It is unknown exactly what the risks are, however, or who specifically has the greatest risk. The FDA analysis specifically looked at long-term safety studies, and concluded that bisphosphonate drug use longer than five years is associated with an increased risk of side effects. They cautioned physicians against switching a patient between drugs, and recommended that a study be conducted to determine how long the benefits of bisphosphonate drugs last after the drug is discontinued.

Six Entered For $200,000 Arlington Handicap
- Category :
In what is considered a key prep for Arlington Million (G1), turf horses will take center stage on Saturday at Arlington Park in the $200,000 Arlington Handicap. The mile and a quarter turf race has drawn a field of six colts and geldings.
Tabbed at 2-1 as the favorite on the morning line, War Dancer will break from post position two for trainer Ken McPeek. Alan Garcia, aboard for his most recent win in the Louisville Handicap (G3) in May, remains in the irons. A six-figure yearling by hot sire War Front, War Dancer has won four of his thirteen starts and has two graded stakes wins to his credit.
Admiral Kitten trying to rebound
Second choice at 3-1 and breaking from the inside is Admiral Kitten. The home bred son of Ken and Sarah Ramsey's popular stallion Kitten's Joy won the Secreteriat Stakes (G1) last year at Arlington at the mile and a quarter distance. Julian Leparoux will be back aboard for Michael Maker and the bay colt was last seem finishing a disappointing ninth in the Monmouth Cup (G2).
Infinite Magic has home track advantage
Infinite Magic, a ridgling son of More Than Ready, took the American Derby (G3) last year for the trainer and jockey combination of Richard Mettee and Channing Hill. The pair will team up again and will break from the outside at morning line odds of 10-1. It will be the second start of the year and he was fourth in his last start, an optional claiming race at Belmont Park, in June.

It's no secret that on Shadowhunters, Katherine McNamara has her fair share of some butt-kicking scenes. Her character Clary doesn't mess around! The starlet took to Instagram to share this pic from set where her hand looks like it's in a lot of pain! But this is obviously just for a scene.
"♪ Cause two can keep a secret if one of them is... oops wrong @Freeform show... Not today, Iris! Not today! @shadowhunterstv #BoundbyBlood," she wrote in the caption.
LOL, she totally gave a Pretty Little Liars reference, since she's striking the girls' signature "Shh" pose. Oh Kat, always with those jokes!

After you are totally prepared, the Lasik treatment takes much less than fifteen mins to finish for both eyes. This will seem an extremely short time to have an irreversible change to your vision, and in this regard Lasik seems practically as well great to be true. Additionally, most Lasik individuals notice enhanced vision immediately or within a few hrs after the Lasik treatment has been carried out.
This does not mean that you should expect to walk out of the Lasik clinic with perfect vision and with no need to treat your eyes meticulously for the following several days. It also indicates that some Lasik patients will certainly require more time to see the overall outcomes for the Lasik procedure, often as long as 6 months for their vision to stabilize completely. Prepare for good vision, and also put in the time and also look after the procedure to generate its ideal result.
Typically the Lasik doctor will certainly offer the post-procedure individual a protective guard for their eyes. This must be used as long as the doctor defines, and generally only in the evening for one or two nights. If you experience level of sensitivity to light after the Lasik procedure is done, he may also suggest sunglasses during the day. Review these options in detail at the Lasik center prior to the operation, so you understand ways to best deal with your eyes.
Numerous people at the Lasik centers commonly obtain eye drops to maintain their eyes moist for some time after the Lasik treatment is done. Once again, this differs by patient and also by medical professional, so ask about your particular circumstance, specifically if you are susceptible to eye dryness on an occasional basis even prior to the Lasik treatment. It may be valuable to keep any ceiling followers or various other air blood circulation gadgets off in the house important source for the initial couple of days.
A lot of clients could go back to function and go now typical day-to-day activities the day after the Lasik treatment is done, and also do not need any added support from other pals or relative. There is generally little to no post-operative pain after Lasik has actually been executed. It is advised that clients go to sleep as quickly as possible after the Lasik surgical treatment in order to lessen any kind of post-operative discomfort. After waking, boosted vision from the Lasik improvements ought to already start to show up.
This enhanced vision may not be the end product of the Lasik treatment. The improvement to nearsightedness after Lasik is dramatic as well as generally quick, though there could be some problems in checking out conveniently for the very first few days after the Lasik procedure. This is completely typical, and ought to clean up before the week is out.
Clients that utilize Lasik to boost their farsightedness usually locate a dramatic improvement the day after the Lasik surgical treatment. It could be that there is a temporary blurring of objects distant, however this will certainly settle itself. If this condition remains for greater than a couple of days, the Lasik physician could suggest and also suggest short-lived glasses up until vision is maintained.
These are all normal post-operative recommends for a Lasik patient, in order to really feel comfy with what to anticipate after the Lasik procedure. Similar to any medical treatment, get all your concerns responded to by the personnel of your Lasik facility for your specific instance.
In addition, most Lasik clients observe enhanced vision promptly or within a few hours after the Lasik treatment has been carried out.
It additionally means that some Lasik patients will require more time to see the overall results for the Lasik treatment, sometimes as much as six months for their vision to stabilize completely. Lots of individuals at the Lasik centers typically get eye goes down to keep their eyes moist for some time after the Lasik treatment is done. Patients that use Lasik to improve their farsightedness usually discover a significant improvement the day after the Lasik surgical treatment.
