I have two USB cables that are always cluttering up my desk and need to be switched out: the iPod cable and the camera cable. They drive me crazy, and I finally came up with a solution.
I simply attached a hook on the side of my desk to hang the cables on. Since the devices can be right near the computer I took up the slack on the cords and tied them up. The hook is large enough that the cables slip on and off easily, they are neat and tidy, and they are always within arms reach.
It's just a little thing, but my quality of life has improved dramatically :)
Have been sniffing around in the archives & found this picture. I took a number of pics 'hand held' while travelling as passenger along the M4 past Newport. The image is of a temporary speed limit that is part of the 'managed motorway' system in that area.The shot is virtually SOOC and has only been (tightly) cropped.

VÃtima de um AVC Isquemico

Every day, more than 2 million Americans struggle with the debilitating effects of spinal cord injury, mobility impairment, stroke and paralysis.
And the overall number is expected to keep rising. Spinal cord injuries alone add 11,000 new cases to the total in the United States each year. Accidents, including automobile and sporting accidents and violence account for the majority of cases of spinal cord and mobility injuries and impairment. However, many more are caused by degenerative neurological diseases, and age-related falls.
Most spinal cord injured individuals are in their teens and twenties, and 99% all spinal cord injuries (SCI) will result in paralysis. Traumatic brain injury affects approximately 1.4 million people of all ages, severely reducing their ability to live independent, productive lives.
The costs of these kinds of injuries place an overwhelming burden on the patients and their families. Individual costs for supportive care can run to $250,000 per year. And in the United States alone, costs for rehabilitative and supportive care exceed $100 billion.
Conventional rehabilitation is geared to helping the patient "resign" themselves to never regaining mobility. But more and more, patients are refusing to accept that diagnosis. Inspired by the late actor, Christopher Reeve, an increasing number of patients with disabled mobility are searching for comprehensive neurological facilities that employ a multi-faceted approach to their rehabilitation programs.
Unfortunately, these patients are finding few options available to them. And with longer life expectancies and the increased popularity of extreme sports, each year, thousands of newly-disabled people will be desperately seeking ways to optimize their recovery and rehabilitation process.
Currently, there is no cure for spinal cord injuries (SCI). However, recent research in neuroscience, and surgical, drug, and rehabilitation therapies has produced very promising results. There are new ways to prevent an injury from becoming worse. Nerve cell transplantation and nerve regeneration therapies have made the repair of an injured or damaged spinal cord a very reachable goal.
And among the most exciting developments are new training programs based on repetitive treadmill stepping, gait strengthening and weight bearing. These programs may actually improve function by promoting axon regeneration and by "reminding" the spinal cord below the injury how to activate the muscles needed for standing or walking.
It is becoming increasingly apparent, though, that to take advantage of any of these promising new developments, clients should be in excellent physical condition, with good bone density, muscle mass, and good muscle tone. Unfortunately, few facilities prepare individuals with a neurological disability for the possibility of a cure.
There is an undeniable gap in services for disabled individuals that is not being addressed by the existing mainstream facilities. NEUROXCEL Corporation is designed to fill that gap.
