Karaoke mixers come in different forms, and we will talk about some of them to help you decide what mixer is best for your karaoke system setup.
Mixers take the sound from the karaoke microphone and the karaoke player then send the audio information to the amplifier. They are used to balance the sound so you have a good sounding karaoke session without the music or singing being too much louder than the other.
The typical mixer used in a karaoke system will have a delay and echo effect control so you can modify the sound to cater for the individual singer's preference for the room. Adjusting these effects can give your audience an enhanced sound making the singing voice sound more like a professional recording.
A typical mixer used in a karaoke system provides the volume control for each microphone and a separate volume controller for the karaoke player. The independent volume controls allow you to adjust the volume of the karaoke player and the singing separately and get the right balance between the music and microphone singing.
One of the significant benefits of a mixer is being able to adjust the sound to the environment you are singing in. Most mixers for karaoke have an EQ which offers the ability to edit the bass and treble of the music which means that you can adjust the bass and adjust the treble to get the right sound for the room. Sometimes too much bass will sound too loud making every beat sound like a thump so being able to edit these settings can help improve the tone of the karaoke session for everybody.
Some more advanced karaoke mixers have indicators that light up to tell you the volume levels for each microphone and the main mix. A feature like this can be useful for a professional set up, but if you are mixing karaoke at home, they are not necessary unless you want something that looks good for a bit of tech eye candy.
There are several types of mixers. The most popular form of karaoke mixer is when the controls and inputs are on the front panel of the mixer unit, and the mixer can sit on a shelf or mounted on a rack above or below other equipment. These come in different sizes. Some can be mounted on a rack system for a professional karaoke system. You can also get small desktop mixers with the panels at the front which are ideal for small spaces or to sit on your TV stand.
The other type of mixer is a desktop or flat mixer that will site on top of a desk or mount in a rack on the top with the controls and inputs on the top of the unit. These are also referred to as audio mixers and are used for live music production and other media. I advise only using one of these mixers for karaoke if it has some built-in effects such as echo to assist you mixing the singing of your karaoke singers.
The other type of mixer is a boxed mixer. This has everything enclosed in a solid case. These mixers are for people who often take their karaoke on the road. These cases are durable which can help prevent damage during transport. The boxed mixer is versatile and can often be placed on the floor or on top of other equipment such as large live show speakers or other equipment such as amplifiers.
WHAT MIXER SHOULD I BUY?
The karaoke mixer for your setup will be the one that best meets your budget and fits well in the room where you will use it the most. Most cheaper karaoke mixers will do the job if you will be using it at home or for a small karaoke party and a shelf unit with the controls on the front panel will suit most home, or small event uses.
- Amazon sells professional mixers ideal for karaoke systems including the VocoPro DA-1000 Pro Professional 3 Mic Digital Echo Mixer and the Behringer Xenyx 802 Premium 8-Input 2-Bus Mixer.
- You can buy a mixer to use with your karaoke setup from the online stores listed in the karaoke stores links area.
You will need extra add-ons for your mixer, and this article about karaoke system add-ons will help.
Now you have a good understanding of how a mixer will be used in a karaoke setup I encourage you to visit karaokemixer.info which is a website specifically about karaoke mixers. You will find articles about karaoke mixers and some karaoke mixer reviews written for people looking to get a mixer for their karaoke system.

The UC Irvine men's basketball team's gaping hole in the middle left by the transfer of three-year starter Eric Wise to USC looks a little less huge with Coach Russell Turner's announcement Monday of the addition of Fresno State transfer John Ryan.
Ryan, a 6-foot-10, 250-pound center, played in 17 games for the Bulldogs as a freshman last season. He produced 19 points, 18 rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots. He will sit out the 2011-12 season, per NCAA transfer rules, then have three years of eligibility remaining for the Anteaters.
Ryan averaged 21 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks and four assists per game as a senior at El Segundo High in 2009-10. He was a two-time first-team All-Pioneer League performer. He was a team captain in his junior and senior seasons and was named the team's MVP. He also won team awards as the best passer and best rebounder.
"John is a true center who will provide us with an interior presence when he is eligible to play after a year in our program," Turner said in a statement. "He has an innate feel for the game and a high basketball IQ to go along with the ability to score in the post. John knows he will have a year to work hard at improving his game, and if he makes the progress we expect, then he will be an effective player for us for his remaining three years."
The Newport Harbor High surf team finished third in the National Scholastic Surfing Assn. Championships completed Saturday at Salt Creek Beach in Dana Point.
Junior Blake Davis was second in the high school varsity boys' event.
Junior Shelby Detmers was second in the women's high school varsity event.
Zach Porteous, Jake Caughill, Colin Moran, Will Laidlaw, Ryan Croteau and Aaron Cervantes contributed to the Newport Harbor boys' team, while Ali Hayes chipped in for the girls' team.
Misty May-Treanor and fellow two-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh were defeated, 21-17, 13-21, 16-14, by the top-seeded duo of Juliana Felisberta Silva and Larissa Franca of Brazil in the final of the $1 million Federation Internationale de Volleyball Swatch World Championships on Sunday in Rome, Italy.
May-Treanor and Walsh, the No. 5-seeded team, split $45,000, after their 29-match winning streak in the world championships was halted.
The 2011 recruiting class for UC Irvine women's volleyball received high honorable mention by PrepVolleyball.com.
UCI's group of five freshmen and one transfer, including PrepVolleyball.com Senior Aces Ella Rosenfeld, Marissa Bubica and Molly Yoder, is the third straight recognized by the media outlet.
The 2010 class also received high honorable mention, while the 2009 group was ranked No. 24 nationally.
Rosenfeld, a 6-3 middle blocker out of Mira Costa High, earned USA Volleyball Junior Olympics All-Tournament honors last year.
Bubica, out of San Pedro High, was an all-city honoree as a junior outside hitter in 2009.
Yoder, a San Clemente High product and the sister of UCI men's All-American Cory Yoder, is a 5-9 libero. She was also recognized by PrepVolleyball.com as a Defensive Dandy.
The class also includes Newport Harbor High product Mackenzie Campbell, who transfers from Montana State. She started at setter and produced 565 assists in 2010.
Others in the class are Channel Stewart (Laguna Beach High) and Hannah Nabbout (Whittier Christian High).
USA Volleyball announced that UC Irvine's Jeremy Dejno and Scott Kevorken were selected to its 12-player U.S. men's junior national team that will compete at the 2011 FIVB Junior (U-21) World Championship held Aug. 1-10 in Brazil.
Dejno and Kevorken, both part-time starters as freshmen for the Anteaters in 2011, were on the 2010 junior national team that won the NORCECA Junior Continental Championship in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, which qualified the Americans for the world championship.
Kevorken, a 6-foot-9 middle blocker, was named to the MPSF All-Freshman Team after leading the team with 0.84 blocks per set and averaging 1.41 kills per game.
Dejno, a 6-4 outside hitter, averaged 1.39 kills and was tied for second on the team with 22 service aces last season.
Incoming freshman libero Michael Brinkley was named an alternate for the team.

Histor calls Quiet Clearing the Trend color of 2019. The color has been selected by a team of international color experts and fits perfectly with the four Histor Color Trends of 2019: With It, With Class, Without and With Spirit.
I really love this dark green, actually a similar color has been on our studio wall since a few months and we love it! Also we recently did a photo shoot for Trendhopper using Quiet clearing combined with other beautiful greens. It is a very warm intense green and very easy to combine in very different colour pallets.
Quiet Clearing is an elegant deep green that brings the balance of nature into the house, regardless of the style of living. It also fits in perfectly with the dark color trend of today. By using the Trend color on one or even several walls and combining it with off-blacks, dark wood and gold tones, an intimate, warm atmosphere is created. Those who prefer a more neutral effect use Quiet Clearing in combination with light wood and light shades, or as an accent color on a smaller wall for a trendy detail.
I do agree with Lieke, in our trendbook 2019|2020 this colour fits the trend GROWTH. This trend is all about the balance between humans and nature. I feel deep natural colours such as green and earhty tones will continue to be trend in 2020.

If you are coming with supervision hours already earned, I will need the name and contact info of your previous supervisor so I may call them as a reference.
Please come to supervision on time. If you are more than 20 minutes late you will need to reschedule which will make it harder for both of us and may not be possible.
It is your responsibility to meet your 4 hour minimum of supervision. We will agree on dates and times and I will make myself available on those dates and times. Please do the same.
Please come to supervision prepared with cases to discuss and a notebook for notes and documentation of the meeting.

Help your child control and regulate their feelings during a meltdown.
Trying to deal with your child’s ADHD meltdown can leave you feeling powerless and overwhelmed. The situation can quickly escalate to a level that feels way beyond your control. Having some quick, easy tips and calming techniques can help you navigate through the situation when it happens.
Let your child know you understand what they are going through. In a calm voice, you can say something along the lines of, “I know you’re disappointed that you didn’t get the treat you wanted” or “I can see that you’re upset because your friends didn’t ask you to play.” Let them know that their feelings make sense and that you are aware of what they’re experiencing.
Emotions can be overwhelming for everyone. Providing your child with a safe physical outlet can ease off a lot of the intensity of what they’re feeling.
If you’re at home during a meltdown, you can ask your child to punch a pillow, squeeze a ball, or rip up newspapers.
Another great resource is the glitter bottle. Aside from being a great DIY project for a rainy or snowy day, during a meltdown, you can have your kid shake the bottle as hard as they’d like, and then watch the glitter in the water. The physical act of shaking, along with the enticing sparkles, can help your child recenter their focus and diffuse their emotions.
Teaching your child to use breathing techniques to calm down can offer amazing pay-off.
During a meltdown, guide your child through taking deep breaths. Belly breathing especially can be effective and relaxing for anyone going through frustration and anxiety, whatever the age.
4. Don’t engage. When your child is acting out in anger, try not to react or show any interest. If you feel the situation is safe, you can say, “This situation is getting out of control. Let’s both take a step back and go into separate rooms to try and calm down. We can come back here in a few minutes.” This presents a clear and stress-free escape plan for both you and your child.
5. Set rules for meltdowns. Be consistent. During a meltdown, enforce the rules and consequences that you explained to your child earlier on.
Most importantly, remember that your chid’s meltdown is not a reflection of your parenting. It is an issue of emotional dysregulation, and nothing else.
If your child is struggling with ADHD, I am ready to work with them and guide them towards a calmer and happier life. I also have experience using neurofeedback to help regulate ADHD.
For ADHD therapy in or near Los Angeles that is effective and enjoyable, give me a call at (818)210-5070. Or you can fill out the contact form and click Send to request a free 15-minute phone consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have my 2006 cr125 engine stripped down and in trying to clean up the cases the best I can. I have my own personal soda blaster and it works great but on some of my piece theirs what I believe is aluminum oxidation and even the soda blaster can't get it off and not even scotch bright wd40 and some elbow grease won't remove it...any tips how to make this shinny new aluminum???
From there, it would have to be polished. That's pretty much the surface finish of cast aluminum. A buffer would likely clean it up.
Aluminum Oxide is very hard, it is used as a sandpaper abrasive. Honda usually clear coats or paint aluminum to stop oxidation so you may also be dealing bad paint. As Sdet said try polishing. And then protect the aluminum with; repaint, clear coat, or anodize.
polishing frames and other parts used to be the rage.....but you wind up with black oxidation all over everything....I polished a 1999 CR250 frame so that it looked like chrome. Within 5 laps the number plates were hard to read and the pants covered with black crap on the inseams....never did that again.

Last week at about 6:15 p.m., when the air was still very muggy with the temperature in the high 80’s, a group of diners (and Westport residents) at Sherwood Diner became aware of a large SUV in the parking lot with a small dog inside — and New York plates. The windows were completely shut.
It was determined that the car had been there at least 45 minutes. A call was made to Westport Police, as Westport’s animal control officer was off duty.
The dog owner was ticketed, and warned about leaving her dog in a hot car.
WASA would like to thank Officer Won and his fellow Westport officer for coming to this dog’s rescue, and handling the situation so beautifully. Tails are wagging all over Westport in appreciation.
Our thanks too to the Westport residents who were advocates for the little dog.
Yes, Officer Won, this is Westport. And we do love our dogs!
This entry was posted in Environment, Organizations, Police, Restaurants and tagged Westport Animal Shelter Advocates, Westport Police Department, Wong Won. Bookmark the permalink.
Perhaps the individuals involved would feel differently if they had to sit in the car with the windows closed. My Dad always said to judge people on how they treat their animals. My view is the same and thank goodness so many Westporters agree.
People tend to be stupid. I live in Florida during the winter and people leave their dogs in locked cars quite often. Animal control and the sherif’ department are quite busy.
“In Florida you can beat your wife and the penalties for that are a lot less severe than those for leaving a dog in a hot car. A judge can easily send you to prison for animal dog abuse but that rarely happens for a guy who hits his wife.” This is a direct quote from a police officer in Vero Beach, FL who responded to a call about a dog in a car in a store parking lot on a sunny day.
Exactly. Sit in your car on a sunny warm day, with windows shut (no pre-cooled ac on either), even for a full two minutes.
Then five, then ten … and then see if you can make it until 20 minutes. No swigs of water, no cheating.
Now, expect your pet to do the same, in fur, and a higher body temperature to begin with (well, that’s the case with cats – not certain about a dogs resting body temp), and no sweat glands.
Cruel and stupid beyond belief.
I am always on the alert for dogs in locked cars. When we have pets we should be their advocates as they depend on us for their survival. People are really stupid in hot weather to think they can do an errand & lock the dog in the car because it’s only “for a few minutes” – those so-called minutes can be a death sentence. Glad this dog owner was ticketed & dog was saved. The owner should have thanked everyone & apologized for being so thoughtless.
I live in Tucson, and people think our winters are cool enough to leave pets and/or children in their cars. Our winters are in the 60’s and 70’s, but there is intense sun and the inside of a car can easily reach 100 degrees. If this had been a child, CPS would have been on this woman like flies on you-know-what. I wish pet owners could face harsher penalties for neglecting or abusing their dogs. This woman’s reaction was so ignorant and selfish, she shouldn’t be allowed to have a dog. Thank you to the officers who rescued the little dog.
Interesting fact: Heat rising from the exhaust system under car is usually a bigger problem than heat from the sun in cases where animals are left in automobiles. So animals can be suffering in locked cars even on overcast days.
One more reason to buy a Tesla. No hot exhaust and you can leave the AC running off battery even when not in car.
Good points, Ralph and Jerry!
It seems typically Westport for someone to call the cops, rather than ask the other diners directly. After all, why embarass someone into doing the right thing when you be theatrical and ruin their day at the same time.
While I agree that leaving the dog in a hot car is cruel, Westporters look to make a scene instead of intervening directly.
…and you can leave lots of electronic ignition (non-key) cars running without the keys. Tesla doesn’t have a corner on that market.

The Society of Local Authority Lawyers and Administrators in Scotland, now known by its acronym ‘SOLAR’, is a professional public sector organisation whose aim and purpose is to support the work of those professional officers employed in local authorities and associated organisations in Scotland.
In 1975 local government in Scotland was radically reorganised from the historic town and county structure to 53 District. 3 Islands and 9 Regional authorities. At that time, a group of senior officers, mainly former County or Town Clerks and their Deputes who had been appointed as Directors of Administration or Law and Administration in the new authorities, agreed that an organisation should be established to provide a forum for discussion and consideration of the issues faced in their new roles, with the aim of sharing knowledge and achieving a unified approach to the problems. It took as its title, the Society of Directors of Administration and began to use the acronym, ‘SODA’. Membership of this organisation was open to senior officers in law and admin Departments. It had three committees, Legal Services, Administrative Services and Policy. Its office bearers were appointed annually. From 1975 until 1996 the Society provided support to all local authorities and the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities in all legal and administrative matters.
By the late 80s, the Society’s membership restrictions had been eased to allow the involvement of a slightly wider range of senior officers and by the mid-90s SODA had grown with many of the 65 authorities having officers within its ranks. In 1996 local government in Scotland underwent a further reorganisation with the district and regional structure replaced by unitary authorities undertaking all local authority functions. The consequent reduction in the number of authorities to 32 meant that SODA numbers fell. To address this situation and also to reflect the changing face of local government, where “Directors of Administration” no longer featured, the Society underwent a rebranding exercise. It became SOLAR, but more importantly it widened its membership to encompass all professional staff working in local government Law and Admin across Scotland. In addition to lawyers and committee administrators, staff working in areas such as members support, elections, records management, freedom of information and licensing became eligible to join. Membership was on an individual basis each member paying an annual membership fee. As the years progressed, the Society’s office bearers concluded that membership would be better served if the local authority itself became a corporate member with all that authority’s Legal and Admin staff entitled to enjoy the benefits of membership rather than paying an individual membership fee.
The committee structure was adjusted to reflect the widening membership with a number of specialist Working groups being established, reflecting the key areas of public sector challenges. The old committees were amalgamated initially into a General Committee, now renamed as its Executive Committee, which deals with key policy and nationally important issues affecting all Councils and other public bodies.
All 32 Councils are represented within SOLAR along with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and the Scottish Government’s Legal Directorate, with whom the Society has established a close and profitable working relationship. There are a large number of Working Groups, which cover a range of specialised areas of law and administration. Details of which can be found here.

Why has Bitt created Barbados digital dollars on The Blockchain?
Before we dive into the massive potential of digital assets and cryptocurrency on financial services sector and the world, let’s take a stroll down memory lane, where the birth of ‘Cash’ started. Paper bills were first used by the Chinese, they began by carrying folding money during the Tang Dynasty (A.D. 618-907) – mostly privately issued bills of credit or exchange. This lasted more than 500 years until the practice caught on in Europe around the 17th century. The word cash was originally used to depict round bronze coins with square holes usually referred to as kai-yuans.
Cash has been around much longer than any of us consider. It is engrained in our day to day life, but it has some shortcomings. Something we as a society rarely consider is the cost a government undertakes and the continued resources it costs our planet to produce the paper money we so casually use in our day to day lives; all for naught since these bills ultimately wear out. The smaller the denomination, the more often we use it, the shorter the lifespan. The $5 bill lasts on average a meager 2 years, while a $100 bill can last more than seven years. Over that time, owing to inflation, its value will decline — which is the perfect excuse to spend it quickly.
Unfortunately that idea of ‘saving money’ was tarnished with the introduction of inflation, which is defined as a continuous increase in the overall level of prices for goods and services. It is calculated as an annual percentage increase. As inflation rises, every dollar buys a smaller percentage of that respective good or service.
The value of a dollar does not stay steady when there is inflation. The value is realized in terms of buying power, which is the real value of goods that the money can acquire. When inflation increases, there is a correlative decline in direct purchasing power. For example, if the inflation rate is 3% annually, in theory a $1 pack of gum should cost $1.03 in a year. After inflation, your dollar can’t buy the same goods it previously could.
With the advent of cash, people soon realised that storing it in large amounts generally leads to the detriment of the person carrying holding it. There were little ways that one could mitigate this risk, which is one of the reasons the Bank became the only viable option for the everyday citizen.
Bitt has revolutionized the financial landscape by creating the Barbados Digital Dollar. All the while working alongside the central bank of Barbados to ensure that all aspects of this technological advancement are universally understood and appreciated. Barbados is one of the few places in the world which has embraced this concept and understands this technology’s fundamental role in the future of financial services.
Bitt has created an easy-to-use, frictionless store of value which does not rely on the continued reproduction of paper, and which no longer requires the policing of counterfeit bills which continually plague local vendors. We have advanced technologically and we now have digital ways to guarantee that the value being sent is legitimate.
The Blockchain supports a scripting language that can be used to store metadata. Colored Coins is a concept that allows attaching metadata to Bitcoin transactions while leveraging the infrastructure for issuing and trading immutable digital assets that represent real world value.
What does this mean for our local economy?
What does this mean for our environment?
What does this mean for peer to peer transactions?
In a real world example; We have a small, family owned shop which does not meet the minimum requirements for the installation of a PoS terminal for credit/debit cards. With a simple cell phone and minimal setup, Bitt has empowered this business owner. Now this small family business has access to instant and secure digital payments with no hoops or hassle.
As most of us in the space know, each one of these bullet points could be its own independent article. We here in Barbados are overjoyed that our forward thinking government understands the deep ramifications this technology will have on the world, they don’t want to sit by idly and observe as others use it for the betterment of their respective society.
They want to be proactive in laying some foundations, which will empower future generations to come, and Bitt is going to help them get there.

His WWIII statement sounded very Republican President in his last 400 days. Looking back at Reagan and Bush Sr., it seems to me that Republican Presidents are only “good” for about 2/3 of their term, after that they turn into bumbling idiots. In this case it was less of a turn, and more of a face in hand, oh yeah, that’s what I did last night, recognition of abject failure.
I find it interesting, that with each passing day, our “President” seems more and more like a cornered animal, frightened at first, but ready to strike if necessary. It’s even more interesting considering that Democrats on the Hill have been largely ineffective at pushing his buttons on just about anything and he still exhibits this behavior. What’s going on? Have Laura and Condi issued an ultimatum? (Pick one or we both leave). Has Barney finally forsaken him? (Never did like the facon). Or is he going through that classic father “daughter getting married”-itis. Honestly, I don’t know, I just hope it’s not contagious.
Even if it is contagious and it infects the entire Administration (like Brownieitis did), we have our great veep to fall back on. He’s inoculated against such contagion because he has been “re-animated” so many times he’s hardly really alive. Hell he’s walking around the WH wondering why we haven’t nuked someone yet, and calling people out for being so chicken. Just what America needs, a real cowboy with an alarm-clock heart.
So watch it Iran, and Turkey, no incurshing into Iraq until after Thanksgiving…heh, heh, suckers. North Korea, you have $2000 in late fees at the Blockbuster, and Afghanistan…who are you again?

Around March and April every year, we often hear friends and colleagues excitedly proclaim the amount of the tax refund they expect to receive as a result of that year’s income tax return. A competition ensues as they discuss who is getting the largest refund, and what they plan to do with the money. Businesses often capitalize on this opportunity to advertise sales and offer promotions that will allow taxpayers to utilize their refunds for large purchases. However, should we really be pleased to receive large tax refunds year after year?
Most working Americans have the bulk of their income tax liability withheld from their paychecks, while retired taxpayers often have taxes withheld from their retirement checks or annuities. Some taxpayers, who have other activities such as small businesses, investments, or rental properties, may need to make estimated tax payments. But how much must we pay throughout the year?
Currently, the average American taxpayer greatly overestimates the amount of income tax they will owe the federal government each year, resulting in excess withholdings and prepayments. This excess is then returned to them in the form of large refunds each year. An IRS report for 2016 tax returns filed through the end of 2017 showed that 73.64 percent of individual income tax returns resulted in tax refunds. The IRS refunded an astounding $323 billion, at an average of $2,895 per taxpayer. Ideally, individual taxpayers should only pay, through withholdings and estimated payments, the exact amount of taxes that will be owed upon filing the final tax return.
Many taxpayers like the idea of using the IRS as a savings account and receiving a large refund at the end of each tax year. However, basic principles of business and economics indicate that taxpayers are better off paying the minimum amount of taxes necessary throughout the year, and using the excess funds for wise investments. For example, Jamie Farmer, Managing Director of Index Data Services, noted that the Dow Jones Industrial Average saw an annual increase of 25.08 percent in 2017. While a significant return could have been earned on funds invested in the stock market within 2017, the IRS does not pay interest when income tax refunds are issued to taxpayers. This means that Americans who are overpaying their taxes are allowing the IRS to borrow their hard-earned income interest-free. In addition, home improvements and other large purchases could be made earlier in the year instead of waiting on the IRS to process the refund.
If you or your family have been receiving large refunds year after year, it may be time to consult with a tax professional. This can be especially helpful if you or your family experience a change in circumstances, such as a change in employment, the purchase or sale of a home or business, or a change in dependents. A CPA or tax preparer can assist you with determining the minimum amount of withholding and estimated payments necessary to avoid an underpayment penalty, while still maximizing the amount of after-tax dollars you are able to keep and use throughout the year. Instead of giving the IRS an interest-free loan, consider investing in your family’s future through a retirement plan, investments, or finally making those planned home improvements.

People who work with computers for long periods can develop a complaint called Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). This is a painful condition which affects the ability of computer-users to do their work properly. It is caused by a pattern of frequently-repeated, unnatural movements. The main culprits are the poor posture adopted when using keyboards and mice, often in combination with heavy workloads that lead to sustained periods of computer activity.
Mice are often difficult to control because their mechanical or optical components are not responsive or accurate enough to allow the cursor to be moved with the precision required. This mismatch between an inaccurate device aiming for a precise target stresses the arm and shoulder muscles unnecessarily.
With a Wacom tablet, however, you have a precision device and you can also change between using a pen and mouse so as not to put stress on the same muscles all the time. Sufferers from RSI who can no longer manage with a mouse can therefore benefit from a Wacom tablet and pen.
Although a Wacom tablet can help with RSI, it is nevertheless important to deal with other aspects of RSI by such measures as taking regular short breaks from the computer and avoiding taking on heavy workloads where there is pressure to do it quickly.
Which tablet is Suitable for you?
In making your choice, it is essential to realize what causes RSI and what can be done about it. For this, see the left-hand column.
You want to be able to move and position the cursor on the screen accurately without the need to make small corrective movements, which cause extra unnecessary stress on your muscles. In other words, you want to be able to work accurately without consciously or unconsciously placing inappropriate demands on how you move your body. A larger tablet can help prevent RSI better because you can more accurately place the pen, and therefore your hand and arm, on a large area than on a small. It also has the advantage that variations in movement and posture are greater on a larger tablet. You should not therefore make the mistaken assumption that choosing a small tablet will be better.
A good but cheap tablet is the Intuos Draw Small White.The pen that accompanies the tablet can take the place of your mouse, allowing you to assume a better, more natural posture and have better control of the cursor on your screen.
For people who, in course of their work, make daily use of a computer and who perhaps are already showing symptoms of RSI, we recommend the Intuos Art Medium Black. This tablet is of a higher quality and twice the size of the Bamboo. Of course, this is reflected in its higher price.
If you draw, or perform similar tasks, you might need a larger tablet. For example, the Intuos Pro Pen & Touch Large tablet.

Our Yin Yoga classes consists of a series of long-held, passive (still) and seated floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body—the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues. If our connective tissue is not stimulated, it can become hard and even crystallised, this can lead to stiffness and staggered energy flow. Unlike vinyasa based yoga, Yin yoga postures - asanas - are held for longer periods of time—for beginners, it may range from 45 seconds to two minutes; more advanced practitioners may stay in one asana for five minutes or more.
Yin yoga is great for the mind, but also great for flexibility, relaxation and overall well being. Yin Yoga stimulates our meridians ( energy channels), the same lines that are targeted in acupuncture and acupressure, and by stimulating these lines we work on releasing stagnated energy which is important for your overall well being.
Yin yoga can be used to heal the body and mind from inside out.
*Kind off . Health benefits include; improved circulation, increased flexibility and a calmer more clear mind.
Immerse yourself in the calm and meditative process of Yin Yoga. Held in atmospheric candlelight on Tuesdays, this restoring yoga session will help you to release any stagnated energy, as well as helping to improve flexibility, relaxation and general well-being.

CANOGA PARK, Calif. — The Free Speech Coalition reported Wednesday evening that officials from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health have on at least one occasion appeared at the home of an adult industry performer and demanded that the model immediately provide a blood sample.
The Health Department officials offered no court order or other lawful justification for the "shocking intrusion into fundamental civil rights," said the FSC, which did not disclose the performer's identity.
"Although the FSC cannot provide legal advice, we urge any person to seek legal counsel before consenting to such lawless violations of medical privacy and 4th Amendment rights," the adult industry trade group said. "This is not the first time that the L.A. County Department of Public Health reportedly has acted as if it had legal authority for an action, when in reality it had none."
The FSC also said that the Health Department officials "reportedly claimed to have authority from the U.S. Justice Department to seize 2257 records; authority that has not been documented and is almost certainly false."
FSC Board Chair Jeffrey Douglas said that performers should be aware of their rights.
“You are not a serf living under the whims and dictates of a feudal Los Angeles County Department of Public Health,” Douglas said. “You can and should ask for a written list of any demand and the authority for those demands."

The British Hawker Hurricane was a World War II fighter aircraft. It was produced by Hawker Aircraft and used by the RAF. The Hawker Hurricane was introduced in 1937 and on, up until 1944. A total of 14,533 Hawker Hurricanes were made. The Hawker Hurricane incorporated the Merlin powerplant, which was a liquid cooled, V12 engine made by Rolls Royce, which was the same engine used in the British Supermarine Spitfire as well.
Even though the Hawker Hurricane is not as widely popular as the Spitfire, this lesser known British Fighter was said to have been responsible for a majority of air victories in the Battle of Britain.
The aircraft was designed to use as many of the existing tooling and manufacturing equipment that was already available. The Hawker Hurricane saw action in just about every World War II theater, from the Battle of France to North Africa. It was used at Malta, in Russia to SE Asian countries like Burma, Malaysia and Dutch West Indies.
The Hurricane Hawker was a durable aircraft, was easy to maintain and saw service throughout World War II. Although there are many of the aircraft still in museums, it is believed that only 12 original Hurricane Hawkers are airworthy today.
The Hurricane MK.IIC weighed 5,745 lbs empty and 7,670 lbs loaded. The Hurricane Hawker had a maximum speed of 340 mph, a rate of climb of 2,780 feet per minute and a service ceiling of 36,000 feet. The Hurricane had a range of 600 miles.
The Hawker Hurricane was armed with eight 0.303 Browning Machine guns. The Hawker could carry up to 2, 250 lb bombs or 500 lb bombs.
Not so much expertise, Phoenix, more accumulated 'detritus' from watching documentaries, docu-dramas and epics such as "Battle of Britain" (1969) produced by Harry Saltzman with Michael Caine, Trevor Howard, Christopher Plummer, Robert Shaw, Susannah York and Lawrence Olivier as Air Chief Marshal Hugh ('Stuffy') Dowding ('war movie meets kitchen-sink drama).
Dowding was posted to the US at the end of 1940 to avoid fisticuffs at the top - lots of in-fighting at the top during 1940 after the fall of France. Lee-Mallory (played by Patrick Wymark) wanted the 'Big Wing', lots of squadrons assembling over the south-east to give Jerry a bloody nose, but by the time they got together Jerry was gone again. Big Deal! As it was after Dowding was shuffled aside Lee Mallory was given his job.
Get the DVD, it's worth it if you're a fan of aircraft, they're all there (including Hispano Suiza rebuilds). You get the look of dismay from the Germans near the end where their shot-up bombers limp home belching smoke over the French coast and fat old 'Uncle' Hermann tells them, "Meine herren, Sie haben mich verraten!" (Gentlemen, you have betrayed me!) Then his train heaves away and he stands at the window clutching his marshal's baton.
Yes, I'm American and have always loved WW2 aircraft although aI was born in the 1960s. I mostly wrote these articles to teach myself about the aircraft even though I have no first hand knowledge. I edited the hub to amend the armament, so thanks. I also chose this topic because of the ease of finding photographs that I enjoy looking at as well as being copyright free because of their age and public domain of being government photos. Thank you so much for the informative comment, I really appreciate your expertise.
Interesting facts here, Phoenix, but Hispano Suiza auto-cannons? Only if the Spanish airforce got hold of them. In RAF use they were fitted with Browning machine guns, so I heard. It was the Germans who had cannon in their fighter aircraft, that much is known. That was one of the Spitfire's drawbacks as well, and German aircraft that made it back to France or the Netherlands were easily mended after being 'shot up'.
German pilots always maintained it was Spitfires that caught them napping, as admitting they fell foul of 'Hurries' brought shame on them or their flight. For some time, before the engines on the Spitfire were modified, they couldn't fly very low and stalled in vertical flight when either attacking or getting away from attack, whereas the Hurricane could get right down on 'the deck' and tie the Luftwaffe pilots in knots.
That was their advantage - and knocking out Stukas.
An otherwise interesting read, Phoenix. BTW, are you American?
Its great to learn more about the Hawker Hurricane aircraft. You share great pictures too, in these hubs. I am enjoying them , thanks for sharing!

This calculation is, which is part of a well-known benchmarking computational suite, was made to show that a new approach to solve fluid-structure interaction problems was indeed accurate and effective. Fluid-structure interaction is the study of the deformation of structures when they interact with a fluid in contact with them. The human body is a "gold-mine" of such problems. Here are just a few examples: blood flowing though flexible vasculature, food moving through the stomach and the intestine, brain pulsating while surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid.

German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrück is being criticized for going on holiday in Namibia instead of attending an upcoming meeting of G7 finance ministers in Washington -- and for refusing the offer of a key role at the International Monetary Fund.
The Family Steinbrück. Germany's finance minister, Peer Steinbrück, is taking a well-deserved break. But his timing is ill-judged. He is missing a G7 meeting of finance ministers in Washington this weekend.
Most Americans are lucky if they get a couple of days vacation a year and are amazed at the generous holidays Europeans allow themselves. Now one prominent European is not turning up in Washington for an important meeting because he is too busy relaxing with his family in southern Africa.
Peer Steinbrück, Germany's finance minister, has chosen a safari holiday in the former German colony of Namibia over attending a key meeting of finance ministers this weekend. Ever since SPIEGEL reported earlier this week that the minister was crying off the important meeting his political judgement has been coming in for question.
When the finance ministers of the G7 leading industrial nations gather at the spring meeting of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington, Germany will be represented by Thomas Mirow, Steinbrück's number two at the Finance Ministry. In any ordinary year the absence of the German finance minister would raise a few eyebrows, but Germany is currently president of both the European Union and the G8. It would seem that if there was ever a time that Berlin should be basking in the world's spotlight, then it's now.
Steinbrück has already landed in hot water over his holiday plans. In an interview in 2006 the minister gave the impression that he wanted Germans to forgo their precious vacations, when he asked them to tighten their belts. He told the magazine Hörzu, "We may have to forget our holiday trips, in order to provide for the future." The only crunch was that Steinbrück had just returned from a trip to the Baltic Sea.
Now that he has gone somewhat further afield his spokesperson has tried to dampen down the controversy. "There are more important things than G7 conferences, including family," he said. He added that Steinbrück had arranged the trip with his wife and children some time ago.
The minister's commitment to his family is commendable, but his political judgement seems questionable and is coming in for harsh criticism at home. "Such timetabling problems should not arise at a time when Germany holds both the G8 and the EU presidencies," Michael Meister of the conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) told the German newspaper Die Welt.
"The government claims to attach a great deal of importance to the two presidencies," Green Party finance expert Christine Scheel told the paper. "One should therefore expect that a minister turn up to the meetings." Bavaria's economics minister, Erwin Huber, of the conservative Christian Social Union (CSU), has warned that his absence could damage Germany's reputation and called on Steinbrück to cut short his holiday and attend the meeting.
Steinbrück's attitude has also brought him criticism from within his own party, the Social Democrats (SPD). Klaus-Peter Schmidt-Deguelle, the former state secretary under Hans Eichel -- Steinbrück's predecessor at the finance ministry -- told the financial daily Handelsblatt that his behavior was "unacceptable" and said that Eichel would never have missed an IMF meeting.
Steinbrück is already unpopular with the left-wing inside his party for his strict fiscal policy and his concentration on reigning in the country's public deficit instead of increasing spending. And they are also opposed to his controversial plans to reform the country's corporate tax to make Germany more attractive for businesses.
Steinbrück's decision to forgo the meeting looks even stranger as he may be shooting himself in the foot when it comes to pushing through one of the main issues Germany is promoting at the meeting. Berlin is hoping to secure a common line among the G7 on the issue of increasing the transparency of hedge funds but is having a hard time persuading Britain and the US. The topic is expected to be at the top of the agenda at the G8 summit meeting that Germany is hosting at Heiligendamm in June and is likely to be discussed at this weekend's meeting.
And the German minister is also coming under fire for his refusal to take on an important role at the IMF. The other G7 finance ministers had urged him to agree to take over the chair of the International Monetary and Finance Committee (IMFC) should the current chairman Gordon Brown become the British prime minister once Tony Blair leaves office this year. Steinbrück refused on the grounds that he had too much to on his plate at home, despite the fact that his officials are reported to have pleaded with him to take on the job.
While Steinbrück insists that he is more interested in his domestic commitments, his reluctance to play a role on the world stage is irking many in Germany. The CDU has criticized the minister for the decision, arguing that the occupation of such an important and influential international job would have been important for Germany. It would presumably also have helped Steinbrück push through his ideas on the increased surveillance of hedge funds.

This film is about the "outlaw" country music movement of the 70s, when artists rejected the glossy, strings filled Nashville sound and made poignant, gritty music. Guy Clark, David Allen Coe, Charlie Daniels and more are featured. Townes Van Zandt really steals the show, though. Out in his ratty trailer he's shown drinking whiskey and shooting bb guns. He sits down in the kitchen and plays some songs for his girlfriend and his elderly black neighbor, Uncle Seymour Washington (whose interactions with Townes are amazing) and plays some of the most amazing music you'll ever hear. There are also some great scenes of a little local ensemble playing in a bar. This is a must-see film for fans of Real Country Music.
On a hot spring night, the rolling hills of Tennesee came alive and rocked again to the pure country sounds of George Jones, country music's greatest living singer. Fans crowded the stage with hands full of flowers while cowboy hats waved in the air to salute country music's living legend. George Jones, Country Music's Hall of Fame and Pioneer Award winner, is captured "Live in Tennessee" at a sellout performance in the Knoxville Civic Coluseum. See why his he is the heart and soul of country music. Includes an introduction by Alan Jackson, and a special guest appearance by Tracy Lawrence and Mark Chesnutt.
Chatthong, the manager of a local Thai country music band is facing the hardest time of his life. He has to find money to pay for his massive debts and even more importantly, he has to keep from losing his band along with his money. Unfortunately, Chatthong dies from a car crash accident before he is able to get the money. Though his body is thoroughly dead, his spirit somehow lives on. Sanor, Chatthong's assistant, is the only one who knows that his boss is now dead. Afraid of losing the precious band, Sanor keeps the secret by injecting "formalin" into Chatthong's dead body fresh. Chatthong and Sanor do their best to keep the band together, and away from their debt-collecting enemies.

Nowadays, as the houses around the world become more and more expensive and most people are forced to live within a smaller area, we have a big advantage here in the United States. Our homes are still much more spacious and large in comparison to other parts of the world such as Europe and Japan.
Unfortunately, most people do not appreciate their large homes. Very often we have rooms, attics or basements that just languish in disarray and are full of things which we will never use again. If you have an attic room at home, we can give you some good ideas on how to utilize this space in a way to enjoy it every day. A professional like Ft Worth roofing can help you with necessary remodeling, such as installing windows, insulation, or repairing your roof.
The first thing you could do with an attic is to turn it into a home office. Today we live in an era of advanced technologies. Each year more and more people start to work at home and need a quiet place to do their work undisturbed. If this is your case, the attic is a great opportunity.
If you refresh and rearrange the attic, you could turn it into a place of solitude and relaxation. Here you can practice meditation or simply indulge in your thoughts without anyone bothering you. You will be surprised by the refreshing effect, even if only for a few minutes. You could explain to your family that this is your place, and you do not want anyone to bother you while you’re there.
3. Place to practice a hobby.
Do you like drawing or painting? Or reading books? Or sculpting? Or wood carving? There are numerous things you could do in the attic, and they are all much better than to keep tons of junk there. With just a little effort, your attic could become the most favorite place in your home.
4. Room of a teenager.
If you have different aged children, probably the older ones do not wish to share a common room with the younger brothers and sisters. You could ask the teenager if he or she will be glad if you turn the attic into a comfortable teenage room. Of course, the new bedroom will have to meet certain requirements and at least to have a window. If you refresh the colors and buy some comfortable furniture this place could become extremely artistic and attractive. After all, if the teenager does not like the new room he or she can always go back into their old room.
5. A cozy guest room.
If your home is crowded with people, the attic could be your salvation if you have visitors (friends, relatives) from afar. You will be able to provide them a very comfortable room, allowing guests to stay for a longer period of time. You know how uncomfortable it would be for your guests (and you), if they have to sleep on the couch. Making the attic into a cozy bedroom, this problem will no longer exist.

Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. This triumvirate has stood still for what seems to be since time immemorial on the Giza Necropolis a few kilometers outside present-day Cairo. Still as magnificent and mysterious as when they were first built some 4,500 years ago, they are a sight to behold. The largest one, Khufu (Cheops), built in 2560 BC stands at 146 meters tall and was for some 3,500 years the tallest structure on earth. The second one, Khafre (Chephren) is smaller at 136 meters but looks taller because it is slightly elevated and has part of its smooth casing still intact at the tip. The more modest one in size, Menkaure (Mykerinos), completes the whole pyramid complex with the Great Sphinx located a few hundred meters away. It is a vast place to explore and we spent the whole afternoon walking around in wonderment until the guards shooed as away at 5:00 PM when they were closing so I was unable to shoot them when they turn golden brown in the sunset. It’s amazing that of all the Seven Wonders of the ancient world only these pyramids survive.
Th Great Sphinx still stands guard in the complex.

It’s not much of a pretty sight at the entrance which is so close to the buildings and houses around the area.
There are horse-drawn carriages that can ferry you around the site.

The large stones at the base weighing 6-10 tons get progressively smaller as they go higher.
Part of the necropolis are these mastabas or tombs for the lesser royals.
You can take camel rides as well around the place.

It’s been over 20 years since I visited yet seeing photos like these wax me nostalgic. It was my lifelong dream to see (and enter) the pyramids of Egypt. I admit I was surprised to find them so close to the metropolis.

I’ve just returned from a wonderful time in Rome, where I was invited to participate in an ecumenical dialogue facilitated by the Communita di Sant’Egidio: a Catholic lay community that started nearly fifty years ago in Rome and is now in 74 countries.
Fourteen of us spent twelve hours in conversation; a mixture of Catholic bishops, university professors, leaders from the World Evangelical Alliance, World Vision and Samaritans Purse. And me.
Our aim was to look together at issues around the nature of church, the role of prayer and the place of the Gospel amongst those at the peripheries of our societies. I can’t hope to do justice to such a rich day, but there are three things that I am taking away with me particularly.
I am returning home humbled and inspired by the little I have learnt of Sant’Egidio. As a community they are dedicated to Prayer, Peace and the Poor and my day with them gave me just a glimpse of the many ways by which they live out those emphases. We had lunch across the piazza from their main building, at the Trattoria de Gli Amici (the Restaurant of the Friends): a restaurant that they run cooperatively with people with disabilities. We heard of their soup kitchens that feed 800 people, of the individuals who they have befriended, and of their friendship with the Pope and of how they facilitated the end of the Mozambique civil war in the very room where we had our meeting.
We joined in their daily evening prayers, which they hold along the street in one of the oldest churches in Rome dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The large church was packed, with hundreds of people. The twelfth century mosaic was stunning to look at while the singing took place around me.
I have so much to learn from their way of life and their commitment.
We had a long and challenging conversation around poverty and spirituality. Echoes of Liberation Theology were reverberating around the walls loudly as we discussed God’s preferential option for the poor. I was constantly reminded that this was not a theoretical discussion: many people around the table spend much of their lives in the company of those who were poor and it is their lived experience that they see God’s face in the faces of the poor more than they see him anywhere else.
I was particularly challenged by the question: if we are not with people who are poor, does that mean we won’t see Jesus so clearly?
I was also struck by a reflection on the story of the rich man and Lazarus and how Jesus named the poor man Lazarus but did not name the rich man, in contrast to our societies which name rich people, but keep poor people anonymous. We must never let ‘the poor’, ‘refugees’ etc become social categories: they are people with names.
‘Prayer prepares us. It broadens the walls of our heart to make us more receptive to God’.
Cara mici – dear friends – I’m sorry you couldn’t be round the table with me, but I hope this gives you a flavour of a special and memorable day.
Thank you for sharing. What an amazing experience! I like the thought that prayer is one thing God gives us to keep us sane in the midst of all the problems in the world.
Yes I found that really helpful too and it made so much sense.
Great to read of your recent visit to Rome. I looked up the Community of St Egidio…..great work being done, evidently. We do need to talk of all the individuals and groups who reach out in Jesus’name….there is so much depressing stuff in the news, and people need encouragement to engage in positive things and to continue their efforts to establish God’s Kingdom on Earth. Why should the Devil get all the headlines!!!!Thanks for all you do. God bless you.
Yup, we need to focus on the positive don’t we, and get on with it ourselves. All the best to you Jill.
Thanks for sharing your experience, impressions and insights from this special time Ruth. Ecumenical events can be very powerful.
You really reminded me of the power that prayer has – I know it very well, but sometimes, well,… I get busy, and forget!

I've been using a mesh organizer bag as an organizer in my Synapse 25. Buying one for our daughter as a gift - thinking about the small snake charmer as an alternative. I was surprised it is cheaper.
Why cheaper? And any opinions on the #D mesh cube vs the snake charmer for the bottom pocket of the Synapse?
I can not say anything about the pricing but I can talk about the use: In a Synpase 25 the large Snake Charmer uses the room of the bottom pocket nearly fully. So if you want an organisation that you can take out easily and that makes use of the available space as best as possible than the Large Snake Charmer is the best choice.
If you would rather put other items in there too (maybe a waterproof or more pouches to keep different sort of items apart from each other like a first aid kit and some snakes and say a pencil case than the smaller 3D Cube would be way more felixble.
I use a small Snake Chamer in my S25 but it lives in the main compartment. It houses cables and plugs for my tec I might need on the go on one side and all sorts of „small purse items“ on the other side. In my bottom pocket I have a waterproof and some extra layers in case the weather wants to chalange me.
I have also wondered about that pricing in the past.
The snake charmers and the 3DOCs are both good accessories for the Synapse 25. A 3DOC will fit in one of the Side pockets and the SCs will fit in the bottom pocket as @Ilkyway says. The 3DOC also can be suspended by an 8" key strap which is threaded through the rail loops in the main pocket, becoming an internal top pocket.
I guess I would decide based on use. Toiletries, snacks, etc which are small will be very handy in a 3DOC, but a SC gives two pockets and so is better for more stuff and larger stuff. The large snake charmer holds an enormous amount. Since the sides are mesh she could even use it for workout clothes. I have a small SC on the way so I can't speak to that one yet.

2. YOU’VE PROBABLY HAVEN’T HEARD OF THEM! • Cockroaches can eat just about anything, and can survive without food for long periods of time. • Cockroaches have walked the earth for hundreds of millions of years. • Cockroaches get their vitamins from bacteria that live in their bodies. • Cockroaches can live for weeks without their heads. • Cockroaches can survive high levels of radiation exposure.
3. A EULOGY OF ROACHES Blessed are the cockroaches. In this country they are the citizens who last. They need no police to promulgate their peace because they tolerate each other's smell or greed.
4. Friends to dark and filth, they do not choose their meat. Although they neither sow nor reap, a daily feast is laid for them in rooms and kitchens of their pick.
5. The roaches do not spin, and neither do they weave. But note the russet coat the sluggards wear: clothed at birth, roaches require no roachy charity.
6. They settle where they wish and have no rent to pay. Eviction is a word quite meaningless to them who do not have to own their dingy crack of wall.
7. Not knowing dearth or taxes, they increase and multiply. Survival is assured even the jobless roach; his opportunities pile up where garbage grows.
8. Dying is brief and cheap and thus cannot affright. A whiff of toxic mist, an agile heel, a stick -- the swift descent of pain is also final death.
9. Their annals may be short, but when the simple poor have starved to simple death, roaches still circulate in cupboards of the rich, the strong, the wise, the dead.
