Since the Medtronic Infuse bone graft was approved in 2002, it has been used largely "off-label" during procedures for which it was never approved by the FDA and for which the manufacturer knew there was an increased risk of serious and potentially life-threatening complications.
Despite the known risk of problems with Medtronic Infuse off-label use, the manufacturer illegally promoted the device, increasing sales and causing thousands of individuals throughout the United States to experience complications after receiving the bone graft.
The lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. are pursuing potential Medtronic Infuse off-label lawsuits against the manufacturer for recklessly encouraging use of the bone growth agent in ways that were never approved by the FDA or determined to be safe and effective.
Individuals have experienced a high rate of problems with off-label use of the Medtronic Infuse bone graft, including:
- Excessive or Uncontrolled Bone Growth (often referred to as Ectopic or Exuberant Bone Growth)
- Inflammatory Reactions
- Back and Leg Pain
- Radiculitis
- Retrograde Ejaculation
- Urinary Retention
- Bone Resorption
- Implant Displacement
- Overall Worse Outcomes
Medtronic Infuse is a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) approved in 2002 by the FDA for use during spinal surgery for a single-level anterior lumbar fusion. The device is only supposed to be used between L4 and S1, and with a combination of components that includes the LT-CAGE Lumbar Tapered Fusion Device and rhBMP-2 that is applied to an absorbable collagent sponge (ACS), which is designed to disappear over time.
Off-Label Medtronic Infuse Use could include:
- Lumbar surgery through the back (posterior) or side (lateral)
- Lumbar surgery at multiple levels of the spine
- Lumbar surgery that is outside of the L4-S1 Region
- Use for a cervical fusion surgery
- Use with a component other than the LT-CAGE
Tens of thousands of individuals throughout the United States have received the Medtronic Infuse bone graft off-label, based on false and misleading statements made by Medtronic and "opinion leaders" paid by Medtronic to promote the off-label use. If Medtronic had not promoted Infuse illegally for off-label use, most physicians would have been without the knowledge necessary to use the device for such procedures and individuals could have avoided problems through traditional bone graft procedures.
The overwhelming majority of sales for the device have been driven by off-label use of the Medtronic Infuse, reaching as high as 85% of all sales at one point. Medtronic promoted the off-label use by paying "consulting" and royalty fees to physicians who would push the non-approved uses by authoring scientific studies and directly soliciting other surgeons. In fact, Medtronic sales representatives were often in the operating room to assist surgeons with off-label use during surgery.
As a result of the Infuse off-label promotion, Medtronic has faced at least two whistleblower lawsuits (which resulted in a settlement with the federal government), a shareholder class action lawsuit (which resulted in a settlement for failing to disclose the level of off-label sales), several regulatory actions by the FDA and a congressional investigation by the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance.
The Medtronic Infuse lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. are reviewing potential claims for individuals throughout the United States who experienced complications after receiving the bone graft off-label. To review a potential claim for yourself, a friend or family member, request a free consultation and claim evaluation.

Another Cogent Post Regarding Hoveys Failed Suit
August 9, 2013 by thebigfooteryenquirer
It can be read by clicking here. http://bigfootcrossroads.blogspot.com/2 ... troom.html
We hope readers do not fall for the spin, swerve and damage control feverishly under way. This is not about is it a real picture or not? And its certainly not about the question of if bigfoot is real, or is it someones suit?
For those that ask how the collective staff is doing, we had a good virtual meeting last night.
Is it fun to have people painting us with a broad brush, emotion filled, hot button word like racist? No. Its offensive. If they only knew. It is especially offensive given that one of the persons cyberbullying us said, Now, some of his close friends have joked with him about his close resemblance in appearance to Kim Jong and then mutter we are racist.
Is it a ball of fun to be the target of political hate speech? Ehhh, who really cares. It reflects more poorly upon the person spewing it.
Is it fun to be threatened like:
Are you afraid of me? You should be!
Go ahead, reveal yourselves cowards, I would love to have a run in with you someday at a conference. It would be an honor!
We wont even get into a comment that was left.
Not much, but it is very offensive to see someone bullying people over the first amendment. Some of us fought for it, and most everyone has fathers, mothers and forefathers who sacrificed greatly to defend those rights.
Does it feel good to have this blog reduced to simply a money-making proposition? Not as bad as the other stuff but it is still offensive. Facts are, we make no money, the ads appear from WordPress in exchange for our ability to store content and use their great software. It is a fair proposition that makes us nothing and costs us time.
The other deflections of what our agenda is are simply the usual spins when someone points out a misbehavior, they are stock in trade of some of these bigfooters, seen it many times before. If we wanted to have spent the time, we could have predicted most of this, and we could pick apart the arguments. But ultimately it is all deflection in the hope of this going away, who knows it may work. Who knows, were pretty split on how we proceed.
We will offer two predictions, we are thinking a book will be written like 50 Large, and it can be parlayed into paying back the lawyer and perhaps a few conference gigs. Also, this post will be panned in an attempt to further deflect the failed litigation and all of the issues that surround it, the old if I can make it about them instead of me swerve.
In the days ahead further spins will develop, and she and friends always have the fogging of memories over time and churn to sweep this away. Some will remember, many of the long timers have seen this before and it simply confirmed their conclusions, and some will buy the spin. And that is ok, its bigfootery after all. Will she go away? Oh heck no, this video sums it well.
Information: This board is currently read-only.

I've always had a few suspicions, although of the three I had in mind, one has died, and one isn't around anymore. I've added another suspect to the list though, after reading this post. ;)

Look on the bright side, she must be mid 40's give or take, god willing she'll be dead in another 20-30 years or she could be hit by a car a lot earlier (which I would never want to happen, as that's just terrible to think such a thing. But these things do happen)

Who Are You Supposed To Be? is a light-hearted comedy from Australian writer, Keith Gow, workshopped by the London team of Cameron K McEwan, Emrys Matthews and Jennifer Lusk.
Founded in the team's real experiences of being fans/geeks, the play explores both the
passion and excitement of being a fan/geek as well as its more problematic elements. Gow
and Lusk actually met at the Melbourne preview screening of Serenity, a film which has a
mention in the play. Meanwhile, McEwan, who runs the popular Doctor Who fan website
Blogtor Who, with fellow blogger and reviewer, Matthews, provided much of the additional
material for the script.
The characters of Gene (McEwan) and Ash (Lusk) are wonderfully flawed, and theirThe play will be shown at the Etcetera Theatre in Camden on three different days:
particular foibles allow the play to examine notions of masculinity, feminism, mental disorder,
the perils of social media relationships and the fundamentals of human interaction. All under
the playful banner of Doctor Who and Star Wars fandoms!
- Sunday 10th November at 8.30pm
- Friday 15th November at 9.30pm
- Sunday 17th November at 8.30pm
Tickets can be booked here!

Just arrived in Washington, DC after a brutally early morning of travel starting with a 5:00 AM wake-up to make my train on time from New York Penn Station. The train ride was pretty relaxing though, so no complaints there. I got a lot of reading done on the train (and even got a short nap in too), so I'm feeling great heading into my first day of orientation with the Ibrahim Fellows at the IIE offices.
I didn't get much sleep last night; not from nerves, but rather because at 12:30 AM, I was still getting stuff together to pack. My entire evening of packing was delayed/took longer than I originally expected. Probably due to the fact that my four best friends (Samantha, Adam, Leah, and Julia) were over last night to see me before I headed out today. I don't have much time back at home between my trip to the Middle East and heading up to camp for the rest of the summer, so last night was the last solid chunk of time we'll get to spend together for a while.
But anyway, here I am in DC! I'm currently in my hotel room with Jake, the other Penn student that I'm traveling with, and we're just laying low until we have to meet everyone in the lobby in two hours or so. After orientation, I'll check back in again!
Safe Travels! – Jake

MSc Oil & Gas Management
- Posted by David Donkor
- Posted in Coventry University - UK, Masters Programmes
About the programme
It is a one (1) year collaborative programme between Ghana Technology University College and Coventry University in UK. The programme is designed to developed high level competencies needed to effectively achieve the manpower needs of the increasingly competitive global oil industry.
The programme aims to provide specialist professional development and qualifications for a wide range of potential employers including national and multinational energy companies, consultancies, energy ministries and local/international allied agencies.
The programme aims to explore the environmental, social and economic impacts of the oil industry. By comparison with best practice, the course examines ways in which these can be reduced or mitigated. Areas covered include formation and exploration of reserves, energy cost of refining, alternatives to flaring, environmental and social impact assessment of oil production.
Significant exposure is given to students with detailed analyses of global upstream operations as governed by contracts entered into by national petroleum resource holders (host governments) and oil and gas companies involved in exploration, development and production (investors).
The programme carefully discuses the potential of petroleum contracts in defining and regulating the division of value generated through oil and gas production between governments and investors.

Social Media Optimization
More and more people are talking about "Social Media Optimization," which is the idea of making your website more "social friendly." On the surface, it just sounds like adding "tweet this" and "like buttons" to your web pages. And yes, that's all important.
But it's also about how to use the networks between friends, and the power of friends' recommendations, to make your website more user friendly, or even more trustworthy. For skeptics (like me) who also hate shopping for jeans (like me) this idea takes a while to sink in. So I just thought I'd post this simple screenshot from Levi's website:
If you haven't tried this for your website yet (especially e-commerce sites), now's a good time. And don't forget to optimize your emails, too.

Tallywackers…a male version of Hooters is indeed a REAL thing. I did a quick run through survey of ladies (and some guys for that matter) at the radio station and they ALL said they would love to check this place out. Unfortunately for them and anyone else that wants to go…you're gonna have to take a trip to Texas? The new restaurant is opening up called Tallywackers.
It's going to feature male waiters wearing very little clothing serving up your food. Is this something you would try?

Rob McCray responds to "Doctors Going Mobile, But Still Skeptical of Connected Health"
About two-thirds of U.S. doctors surveyed by MedData Group use mobile-health apps on the job; however, about two-thirds also believe that a truly connected healthcare system in the U.S. is more than five years away, if it occurs at all.
Currently, almost fifty percent of doctors surveyed reported using mobile apps to observe medication interactions and less than twenty percent are using mHealth apps to access electronic health records. However, over sixty percent of physicians surveyed expressed that they are considering using mobile apps to access electronic health records within the next year.
Doctors surveyed were also asked what they believed to be the biggest challenges to a fully connected healthcare environment; a resounding seventy percent of doctors mentioned cost and almost sixty percent cited technological limitations, provider resistance, and privacy concerns as limiting factors.
To read the article, click here. Read Rob McCray's response below:
"Interesting that 2/3rds of physicians believe the combination cost and provider resistance will delay the adoption of technologies already embraced by the rest of society and other industries. It would be easier if the profession would lead the necessary changes but health care will nonetheless become connected. The 1/3rd of doctors who embrace change will achieve their full potential to improve the lives of their patients."

REFLECTIONS OF A COLD WARRIOR From Yalta to the Bay of Pigs. By Richard M. Bissell Jr. with Jonathan E. Lewis and Frances T. Pudlo. 268 pp. New Haven: Yale University Press. $30.
Dean Acheson was against the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency. In July 1947, he warned Harry Truman that once it was established neither the President "nor anyone else would be in a position to know what it was doing or to control it." But in the spirit of the times, which were driven by an obsession with national security, the agency came into being. A year later, at the suggestion of George Kennan, an office was created to send agents into the field -- not simply to discover the intentions of foreign governments but also, if need be, to intervene covertly in their domestic affairs.
Such "covert ops" became especially useful during the Eisenhower Administration. They were cheaper than direct military intervention and, so it seemed, successful in advancing Washington's goal of global containment of Communism. John F. Kennedy increased spending on conventional forces to allow for greater flexibility, but the emphasis on covert operations, and its stepchild, counterinsurgency, prospered -- even though it led to the greatest humiliation suffered by the Kennedy Administration, the slaughter of C.I.A.-financed Cuban exile guerrillas on the swampy shores of the Bay of Pigs.
The man who eventually took charge of covert operations -- arguably the most intellectually gifted of any of the C.I.A. operatives -- was Richard M. Bissell Jr. (1909-94). "Reflections of a Cold Warrior" is his story (written with the assistance of Jonathan E. Lewis and Frances T. Pudlo). Like many of the early gung-ho spymasters who helped run the agency in the halcyon era of the 1950's, Bissell came from a privileged background -- the Groton School, Yale University. He remained at Yale to receive a Ph.D. and to teach Keynesian economics; he counted among his most outstanding students the Bundy brothers, William and McGeorge, and the Rostow brothers, Eugene and Walt.
But service in World War II changed everything for him -- as it did for many of his gifted students. The feeling of power and purpose that young men experienced in the mortal struggle against fascism and totalitarianism was not easily shed. And when the advent of the cold war sounded another call to action, Richard Bissell heard the trumpet. He went to Washington to help write the Marshall Plan, and in 1954 he joined the operatives around the avuncular, pipe-smoking Allen Dulles, the Director of Central Intelligence, whose exploits as a wartime spy and taste for derring-do rivaled James Bond's.Continue reading the main story
As assistant to the director, Bissell soon became involved in a covert operation designed to overthrow the regime of the democratically elected President of Guatemala, Jacobo Arbenz Guzman. The Eisenhower Administration believed that Arbenz was a Communist tool and that an Arbenz alignment with Moscow would constitute, in Bissell's words, "a major threat to regional stability." Once Arbenz sought arms from the Soviet bloc the way was open for Dwight D. Eisenhower's operatives to topple him.
In a plot worthy of a Woody Allen movie, the C.I.A. used broadcasts into Guatemala to exaggerate the unimpressive military forces of an exiled former army officer named Carlos Castillo Armas, whom the agency had built up as an alternative to Arbenz. In addition, a small agency-run "rebel" air force was able to fly unopposed over Guatemalan territory, where it engaged in widespread bombing, often with little more than empty Coca-Cola bottles. But these few decrepit planes were not enough to bring down Arbenz, and Eisenhower, even at the risk of betraying the Administration's policy of "plausible deniability," made additional aircraft available for the rebel air force. In the end, the Arbenz regime collapsed.
At the time, Bissell hardly questioned the need to overthrow Arbenz. Yet the result has been decades of one of the most repressive regimes in Central America. In retrospect, he admits that "U.S. interests over the years might have been better served if Arbenz had remained in power." But then he concludes that because Washington had destabilized a democratically elected government, we had a great "moral obligation" to "try to do something about the underlying situation" in that country.
What that means is left unanswered. Should we have bought the country? Should we have attempted to convert Castillo Armas into a statesman? The real answer is not to overthrow a democratically elected government in the first place, no matter what its alignment, unless it poses a direct military threat to the United States.
In the aftermath of Guatemala, Bissell saw the need to develop a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft -- the U-2. As the man who brought this project to a successful conclusion, he deserves high marks. The U-2, with its ability to overfly territory without detection, provided valuable photographs of Soviet defenses. By 1960, the information it had gained had persuaded the Eisenhower Administration that the United States was not falling behind Russia in missile technology.
Unfortunately, as a kind of reward for this achievement, Bissell was put in charge of covert operations in 1959. In this capacity, he had the responsibility for explaining to President John F. Kennedy the Eisenhower Administration's plan for landing exiles on Cuba, where they were expected either to stimulate an uprising or to disappear into the mountains and become the nucleus of a guerrilla force that would ultimately overthrow Fidel Castro.
The story of the Bay of Pigs, as related by Bissell, is as disheartening as ever. Once again, the Rube Goldberg aspects of the plan are stunning: Cuban exiles, who had been trained in Guatemala (by now a friendly regime) and later in the Southern United States, were to touch ground on a beach known as the Bay of Pigs. Air support would be supplied from aging B-26's, flown by Cuban exile pilots. But the plan's success depended on air strikes against not only Fidel Castro's communications but also Cuba's small air force, to keep it from destroying the invaders. Although Kennedy acquiesced in the plan, he was a reluctant commander. At the last moment, he sharply reduced the number of air strikes -- largely to be able to conceal Washington's involvement -- and this doomed the landing force.
Unlike Eisenhower, who had been willing to supply the extra aircraft when the Guatemalan operation was in danger of collapse, Kennedy backed off. It simply never occurred to Bissell that when the chips were down, Kennedy would not come through with the needed air support. It was, after all, the longest of long shots that 1,000 exile soldiers were going to be able to overwhelm some 200,000 members of Cuba's armed forces.
The failure was absolute. The exile army was destroyed. The mountains they were supposed to hide in were some 80 miles away from the beaches, across a virtually impenetrable swamp. Kennedy was humiliated and, worst of all, he had just lost a round to Fidel Castro, which made him more determined than ever to get him.
Bissell was through. As he recalls, Kennedy told him: "If this were a parliamentary government, I would have to resign and you, a civil servant, would stay on. But being the system of government it is, a Presidential government, you will have to resign." Eventually, Bissell left the Government to work in the private sector, and to ponder the role of the C.I.A.
In his meticulous but unexciting prose, he concludes that covert action is compatible with democracy. Yet it is hard to see where the C.I.A.'s so-called successes in this field did not eventually turn into malevolent ghosts that ended up causing more lethal problems for us than the original difficulties.
After the failure of the Bay of Pigs, that supreme realist, Walter Lippmann, stated an enduring truth about the making of an effective American foreign policy: "A policy is bound to fail which deliberately violates our pledges and our principles, our treaties and our laws." He reminded us then -- and it is a good thing to be reminded once again -- that "the American conscience is a reality. It will make hesitant and ineffectual, even if it does not prevent, an un-American policy."Continue reading the main story

By Gordon Holstrom – Special to AMD
On June 11th, Lt. Kenneth Holstrom (ret.) from Auburn Fire Dept. and Firefighter Gordon Holstrom from Sturbridge Fire Dept. attended the Pre-1981 LODD Walk of Honor Section Dedication, as presented by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, MD.
This program, called "Project Roll Call," represents those firefighters who gave the ultimate sacrifice prior to 1981. The town of Auburn had two LODD's; Captain Patrick Foley, who died in 1940 and Deputy Chief Arthur "Doc" Pierce, who died in 1961. Lt. Holstrom had been in continuous contact with the foundation to assure that these two members were remembered for their service to the town of Auburn.
Both Ken and Gordon Holstrom along with their father, Floyd Holstrom, served the town of Auburn. The tradition and dedication that they had for the fire department was a strong bond to pass on the tradition and pay homage to those that had passed before them.
As part of that dedication to honor Patrick and Arthur, a "Walk of Honor" brick was purchased for each of them and placed amongst others that had died in the line of duty.

"You can do it," said Ned. "You've heard Albert countless times. I could probably recite what he says in my sleep."
"Well you do it then," said Mike.
"I've got to drive the boat. It's time we were off. At least we've got more on board than yesterday."
Great, thought Mike. Albert couldn't have picked a worse time to break his wrist, silly old fool.
When Mike had taken on the summer job crewing on his cousin's river cruise he'd never imagined that within a month he'd be expected to give the guided tour. As Ned revved up the engine Mike searched the furthest reaches of his memory for details of all the points of interest on their route. He stowed the gangplank and made sure the gate was secure, then counted the passengers and made a note of the number, as he did on each trip. Then he switched on the microphone and tapped it to make sure it was working.
"Er, good afternoon ladies and gentlemen … boys and girls. Welcome on board, and, er, I hope you enjoy our outing this afternoon. We'll be stopping around three o'clock at the island, where there's a café which sells refreshments. We're lucky with the weather today. Now, if you look to your left you'll see the church of St Botolph, built in, um, around 1600. You may like to take a walk over there when we return as there are some lovely old paintings on the walls. And lots of old graves in the graveyard. Now, the River Wentall on which we are travelling gets its name from a Celtic word, wintle, a type of hook."
Ned shot Mike a puzzled glance, but Mike ploughed ahead regardless. Did it really matter if he made some of it up?
"It's commonly thought that the bends of the river resemble hooks ..." continued Mike.
Then he was momentarily lost for words as a toddler broke free from his mother and tried to jump over the side. Luckily the little boy's father grabbed him just in time and fastened him into a set of reins. The kid screamed as though he was being brutally murdered, so it didn't really matter that Mike's commentary had temporarily dried up as nobody would have heard anything anyway. The boy's cries abated when his mother gave him some sweets, and Mike took up his microphone once more.
"If you look up at the cliffs on the right you'll see some holes. Peregrine falcons make their nests in there. This is a popular area for bird watching … I think that's a peregrine falcon flying overhead now."
Thirty-four heads swivelled to follow the progress of the bird. Whatever it was, they seemed happy. The Japanese couple snapped away eagerly.
Shortly after, they reached the island. Mike set out the gangplank and helped the passengers onto the jetty. "We'll be leaving in half an hour," he repeated, over and over, in the hope of a prompt departure.
The passengers made their way to the shop and toilets. The island was about a hundred yards long and twenty feet wide, in the middle of a broad section of the river. It was fringed with willow trees which offered a number of pleasant, shady places to sit.
"You're doing OK, really," said Ned, chucking Mike a can of soft drink.
"Thanks, mate," said Mike with a grin. An American couple approached, and Ned popped below deck.
"I'm going to check the oil," he said. "You can have the pleasure of chatting with our friends from the good old US of A."
"Can you tell us anything about the ruins on that hill?" asked the man. He had a massive camera hanging round his neck.
Mike shielded his eyes from the sun and followed where he was pointing. Sure enough, half way up the hill was a pile of crumbling masonry. "Oh, those ruins," said Mike. He'd no idea. For all he knew, it could have been a derelict farmhouse, but the stones were quite big and the remains looked too substantial to have been a barn or farmhouse. A devilish idea formed in Mike's mind.
"They are believed to be the remains of a castle which belonged to Merlin the magician," he said. "You know, King Arthur and the knights of the round table. That Merlin."
"Oh, really?" said the woman, drawing closer.
"Yes. It is believed he was born round these parts. And after his stint at Camelot he came back here to relative obscurity."
"How interesting," said the American, snapping off several shots of the ruins.
Mike was glad when the pair trotted off to the shop. He just wanted to sit in the sun for a few minutes and drink his Fanta. At least on the return journey he wouldn't be expected to give a commentary.
The half hour stop having elapsed, Mike made sure the gangplank was steady and started counting passengers as they came back on board. But there were three missing.
"I think it's the young couple with the little boy," Mike said to Ned. They waited ten more minutes, and just as Mike was about to go in search the little family appeared. They wandered back to the boat, seemingly oblivious to the fact that they were keeping everybody waiting.
"Rooney needed a nappy change," said the woman by way of explanation. No apology was forthcoming.
Just after they got under way the American man made his way over to where Mike was sitting on the steps outside the wheelhouse.
"While we were at the cafe I mentioned to the proprietor that he'd probably do quite a brisk trade in souvenirs of Merlin, and he didn't seem to know what I was talking about."
"Ah, he's not from round here, you see. He's from London, hasn't been here long," said Mike hastily. But the man frowned his disbelief.
"What was all that about?" asked Ned when Mike joined him at the wheel.
He explained, and Ned shook his head despairingly. "I hope Albert's fit for work tomorrow. You're too much of a liability, you and your stupid hooks and Merlin the magician. Half the population of America will probably be descending upon us once Chuck and his wife get home with their photographs."
"Then you'll have me to thank for the increase in passengers," quipped Mike.
"Just shut up and get the gangplank ready," growled Ned.

Harry Gudger was born in Leicester but moved to Birstall in his teens, eventually moving to Barrow in 1961. Harry met his wife-to-be Ida in 1963 and they married in 1965: they had three sons. Harry also had two daughters from his first marriage. He was an engineer by trade and when war broke out he was in a reserved occupation going from making knitting machines to making guns. Feeling a need for change, Harry left engineering to become a decorator, going to night school to learn sign writing. He had to leave this trade after badly injuring his ankle, making it impossible for him to climb ladders. After answering an advertisement in the local press for someone to paint the hull of a brand new boat, Harry found himself working for a local businessman. This resulted in a part-time job; painting vans was some of the work he did.
Harry actually worked until he was seventy, ending his working career at an engineering factory in Sileby, starting as an odd-job man and ending up working a milling machine. After a life time of working with metal Harry turned to working with wood, after one of his sons said that his friend's father had made a guitar, Harry said, " I could do that" and so, working from reference books borrowed from the library, his first guitar was made. Through the years numerous violins have been made. Ida remembers them going to visit one of Harry's daughters in Germany; she took them to a wood merchant in Bavaria, and Harry had a wonderful time choosing wood to use in his musical instrument making. This was brought back to England in their suit cases - they obviously didn't fly Ryanair. His second violin was made from some of this wood.
Harry's first love was music. He had a lovely singing voice starting off as tenor and in later years becoming a baritone; during the war years he joined a group that travelled to army camps to perform. He was a member of the Barrow Male Voice Choir in the 60s and then a member of the Loughborough Male Voice Choir until the age of 90. His special interest was old English church music, so he made several historical instruments and had a commission from a London church to make them one. Apart from all his violins and guitars etc. Harry took to making toys and fairground models. They are wonderful, every little detail having been made by Harry, nothing was bought in. He even made his own tools to work with when the need arose. This quiet unassuming man was obviously a great craftsman who I am sure will be sadly missed.

The Knot ripped me off, and it wasn't pretty.
In December of 2013, I was approached by The Knot via an anonymous phone call to advertise on their website. The Knot offered me an overkill of web advertising opportunities, most of which was quickly read off a script, and most of which was highly confusing. After the salesperson finished their pitch, I was then told that I needed to act quickly before these "opportunities" expired before the 2013 year, which was only a few days away. The cost, a steep $2,280.00.
"Steep," they said, "But still discounted dramatically, and very effective"
I told The Knot that I didn't want to spend that amount on advertising, as I deemed it, risky. After all, deep down inside, I was not a fan of online directory style advertising (such as yelp, yellow page, bbb, wedding wire) because it just didn't work. The Knot countered my rejection and told me I could try out their advertising program on a month-to-month term and that I could cancel my advertising at anytime.
Month-to-month. Now that sounded fair.
I agreed, instructed the salesperson to send me a contract to sign.
But the salesperson wanted my credit card information that minute. They informed me that I would have to pay for this deal immediately, because the agreed month-to-month deal was not something they offered regularly. They insisted that I act NOW. With a big sigh, I reluctantly gave The Knot my credit card number over the phone before receiving the contract. I can say that about 99% of the time, I will only work with a contract in hand, or with some type of issued receipt. But this was The Knot I was dealing with, the #1 Wedding Website in the world, a public company. And I thought, out of all companies, they wouldn't try to scam me….right?
~sigh~ WRONG.
Months passed and I fell into my usual busy wedding routine, completely forgetting about my advertising webstore on The Knot. And, as time passed, $190 was debited religiously by them every month. It wasn't until 8 months later, after the busy summer wedding season, when I was finally able to asses whether or not my advertising on The Knot had worked.
The Knot's directory advertising, web storefront, featured advertising, and a whole bunch of other fancy crap, failed to book me one wedding. There were inquiries, but they strangely did not book. They were very strange inquiries by the way. Almost seemed fake, but I can't prove that. I can say that over 90% of the inquires I get, I usually book. Why I didn't book one inquiry from The Knot, truly remains a mystery.
I had spent $1520.00 on advertising, and had not booked one wedding. This was not working and it was time to get The Knot on the phone to cancel.
So I called…no one answered. I did though, get a recording.
And then…I emailed… and no one replied.
After an uncountable amount of tries throughout the week, I decided to cancel my credit card to put a halt to the automatic debits. Two days later, I received a call from The Knot asking me for my new credit card information (isn't that funny.) It was then when I informed The Knot that I would be exercising my option of terminating my advertising. When asked "why?," I answered, "Because I did not book any weddings from my advertisement." They pulled up my webstore and took a look at my stats, then concluded that I should have booked many weddings because over the course of 7 months over 150 people had visited my webpage.
Just 150 in 7 months?
I informed The Knot that Dream Weddings Hawaii receives over 200 unique hits a day, and 150 hits in 7 months is not much to brag about.
I wanted to cancel.
They said I couldn't.
When I asked "why?" they answered, "…because you agreed to a term of at least 12 monts…"
"I did?" I replied.
"Yes you did Mr. Young. Look at your contract."
Screen capture of my actual "contract." Read that fine print!
The Knot's representative forwarded me the initial sales receipt they had on file. When I read through it, my jaw dropped. There in fine print at the bottom of the receipt it basically said that if I did not object within three days of this email, it meant that I agreed to the contract." On another attached "Terms and Agreement" page, in what looked like biblical fine print, read a sentenced that explained that my credit card could be charged automatically, at will, every month for 12 months, or 6 months, or indefinitely, depending on the advertising program I was enrolled in.
I told The Knot, "Wait a minute, this is not what I agreed to. I didn't agree to this."
"Yes you did sir. Because you did not object within three days, you agreed to our terms and conditions, now may I please have your credit card information."
"No", I said sternly. "This is not how business is done. Where is the signed contract? You can't validate a contract just because you don't receive a response within three days."
"Sir, yes we can. This is how we've been doing business for years. Now please, please submit your credit card information."
"You're not getting it. Look, you can't slip a business a micky, and then steal from their wallet every month just because they didn't get the opportunity to say no", I said.
"Sir if we do not get your credit card information, we will send this to collections as we are providing a service."
"…a service that doesn't work…" I interrupted.
"It doesn't matter."
"So when can I cancel my account?", I asked.
"Within a year of your purchase, and you have three day window to do so", she said. "After that window, we reserve the right to charge your account $190 a month until your next cancellation opportunity, which will occur in 12 months."
"This is bull…. And you're not getting my credit card information!" I said as I hung up the phone.
Needless to say, I was pissed after the conversation, and at level 10. Quickly, I scoured the internet in search for other victims of The Knot. And guess what? I found many others who were taken advantage, just like me. Promised one thing, delivered another, just like me. Lied to…just like me.
Here's a voice:
And another voice:
And more:
And another:
It goes without saying that legitimate businesses do not operate under such terms. Scams do. Scams such as those "As seen on TV" advertisements that tell you if you call now, you'll get a free gift worth hundreds of dollars. Then when you call up, they inform you that they need your credit card information to pay for the shipping and handling. When you receive your gift in the mail you receive a receipt with fine print on the bottom that states something in the arena of "If you keep the gifts you have agreed to their terms to be billed every month for our SPECIAL PRODUCT." And then suddenly you're getting some crap you don't want every month and you're stuck in that contract for every month until you cancel your credit card. That's how these scams work….that's how the Knot operates. LIKE A SCAM.
So in this case, the truth hurts. And I can only conclude that The Knot is a scam. And it must operate like one because their advertising doesn't work for most wedding vendors. If their advertising did work, they could in fact, honor a month-to-month promise, which would be an advertising program based upon performance. But they don't. They have to trap vendors into paying more than they want to and threaten them with collections, and thrust the vendors into paying it by threatening to send thier unpaid bill to collections.
Well, we, the wedding vendors of the world have to put a stop to this commercial bullying. If you're a vendor who has been scammed, please comment below and share your horror story. Next, share this post with other vendors that are thinking about advertising on The Knot. Right now, complaints are not centralized in one area on the net because…guess what…the Knot does not exist on Yelp! That's right….
As of now, my webstore on The Knot still stands. Click here if you want to see it! They still haven't cancelled it and I haven't paid a penny to them. I have a feeling that a good portion of vendors on The Knot want out.
The Knot is not getting anything from me, not a penny, not a dime…nothing. They can send my account to collections. But from what I've been told by my lawyer, for the fact that they threatened me, that is against the law.
Before The Knot ripped me off, I had a lot of other concerns about them, those of which I will probably get into later. But lets just say that Brides should also be aware.
To my fellow wedding vendors, tread carefully. The Knot is definitely a scam, but there are many more advertising scams out there that try to take advantage of us regularly.
The Knot has removed my storefront from their webpage and cancelled my account. I thought this was a good step in the right direction and The Knot would finally be out of my hair, but I was wrong. Today, I was contacted by The Scam, oh I mean The Knot, yet again. But this time it was from a different department and it was via email. They sent me an invoice that reflected my previous payments, and also for so called "missed payments." These "missed payments" of course, were not "missed payments" at all. They are payments which I refused to pay because I had to force my hand to stop the unauthorized monthly automatic debits The Knot had stolen from my credit card. By now, you know the entire story.
The person who contacted me is Amanda Arends. She also told me to contact Brandi at 1-888-274-9211 to discuss payment options. Does anyone recognize these names? I do not have a last name for Brandi though.
I told them very bluntly, like I did the others, they are not getting a penny from me. I tried to cancel my account this summer, and they told me they were unable to. Yet, here they are cancelling my account….after they kept it up against my will since I first expressed my concerns. Why did they keep my site up? Well, apparently it was to pile up a bill. What a bunch of unethical bastards. By the way, during the last few months, I dedicated my paid storefront site on the Knot to describe their unethical business practices. I even linked that site to this page. And guess what? Well, they took down my links, my descriptions of their practices. But I kept putting it back up. They finally figured, they lost the battle, took down the site and then sent me a bill.
Since writing this article, I got a lot of hits from vendors and brides who wanted to complain about the Knot. But, they didn't want to complain publicly because they were scared of possible repercussions from a large publicly traded company.
I'll let you know if anyone else contacts me on the phone from the Knot. I will detail their entire call here, and I'm going to name names this time. Those who aid and abet unethical organizations need to also be held accountable for their actions.
As of now, I still do not plan to pay the bill. But if The Knot bullies me anymore, I will pay the bill, and I will use their own storefront once again to tell brides and vendors very publicly about their unethical business practices. I will also name names and list points of contact to those who aid and abet this company on that storefront.
A few surprising notes from my last contact with THE KNOT.
For the first time from The Knot, I actually received an invoice.
As you can see the invoice is dated very recently 11-6-14. Under the services which is offered, there is no end date, so this can keep going and going. I'm not paying this bill. Also, I was supposed to get A LOT more services than just a featured vendor and a single Knot Storefront. I actually had two storefronts, not just one. I was also supposed to receive an additional form of advertising but I'm not exactly sure what that was. Apparently, they don't even have the accurate billing information in their scam.
Now this is very very interesting. Here they are asking for my payment information. But look at the bottom, they are asking for authorization, with a signature. This was never done. NEVER! If you remember, THE KNOT would basically send a vendor an invoice, then inform you with fine print, "if you don't reply within 3 days of receiving that email, it meant you agreed to the terms and conditions." And then "ta da!" you would be billed every month via your credit card.
These are the updates I have for you so far. I'll let you know what happens next. There is possibly a class action lawsuit in the works. Those involved will also be named in the lawsuit.
A couple of updates.
NEGATIVE OPTION BILLING: Through a crap-load of research on the internet, I've found out that the billing practices of The Knot is called Negative Billing Option. Basically, it's an auto-renew that occurs if you, the customer, fail to inform a business that you are not interested in their services. The FTC has been trying to crack down on this legal loophole and there has been some resistance. The Knot takes negative option billing to the next level as they literally do not require a signature to charge your credit card, or a signature to lock you into a one year advertising contract. According to The Knot, all it takes to lock you into a year long advertising contract is for you to not respond.
FACEBOOK PAGE! I've been receiving a handful of phone calls and emails from other wedding vendors across the country who has been taken advantage of. I've made a facebook page so we can all communicate. That page can be found here:

The teams from the two Koreas will march separately at the opening ceremony of the Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang on Friday.
The decision came only a day before the opening because of a dispute over the inclusion of South Korea's easternmost islets of Dokdo on a "unification flag" that the two Koreas had hoped to march under.
In talks held Thursday, North Korean sports officials said it was "intolerable" that Dokdo cannot be marked on the flag due to objections from Japan, which maintains a flimsy colonial claim to the islands. That would make their inclusion, which would be barely visible to the naked eye from a few yards away, "political" and therefore banned under Olympic rules.
Officials from the International Paralympic Committee, who were also attending the talks, expressed opposition to the idea.
The two Korean teams marched together under a unification flag without Dokdo during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics on Feb. 9.
North Korean officials apparently wanted to alter the flag for the Paralympics to show Dokdo. South Korean sports officials tried to persuade their North Korean counterparts to drop the idea, but to no avail.
They finally agreed Thursday evening that their teams will march separately under their own national flags. As a result, the North Korean athletes will be the 34th to march in according to the alphabetical order of their countries' names, and the South Koreans as the host country the 49th and last.

The Angelarium is a place where experiences, ideas and archetypes exist as real living entities. It's the domain of angels and emanations. Growing at its center sits the Tree of Life, a physical manifestation that reflects the whole of existence. This 52 page art book is a chronicle of Enoch, a living man who traveled the Angelarium and explored the interior world of the Tree of Life. He encounters its ten emanations, and ruminates upon the unknowable being that is Ein Sof. It includes illustrations, poetry and short stories centering around the 11 emanations of the Tree of Life.

Quite a serious disaster occurred to the iron prop. RUSSIA at Bar Pt., near the head of Lake Erie, yesterday morning, while en route to this port. According to a dispatch to the Manager of the Union Steamboat Line, she struck on a rock at that point about 9:00, producing quite a rent in her bottom, so much so that she took in water at the rate of 5 ft. in 2 1/2 hours, nothwithstanding the steam pumps were kept at work. Two steam pumps were promptly sent for from Detroit, by the aid of which it was expected she could soon be afloat.

From a hasty glance at the records of marine disasters we find the difficulties have their origins somewhere about 1854. The schooner BUTLER, deep laden, struck an unknown obstruction and sunk, but was subsequently raised. The cause was supposed to be that of some sunken wreck. The accident took place in May. In the month of October, 1855, the propeller ILLINOIS, commanded by Capt. Wm. Dickson, of long experience on the lakes, having a full load of merchandise, struck and sunk. The entire cargo was damaged, and the loss to the steamer and cargo amounted to $85,000. The propeller CUYAHOGA, with a cargo of wheat, in October, 1856, run on the same spot, worked herself off, and was run ashore, the damages amounting to $3,000, the damage to cargo and vessel slight. In July, 1857, the schooner ALICE was stranded near there, and became a total loss. The schooner DREADNAUGHT, with a cargo of grain, struck in 1858, and sustained damages amounting to $100. In 1859 the bark LONDON run on the same place,, damages $150. The bark INDIANA, in November of the same year, dragged her anchor and grounded in the same spot, but was lightered off damaged $200. The scow E. S. TAYLOR, laden with coal, was sunk near there in 1860 and became a total loss. In April, 1861, the schooner WYANDOTTE, laden with coal, met with a disaster at the same place, the damage amounting to $300. The propeller DETROIT struck there in 1862, and sprung a leak, damages $100. In May, 1863, the steamer MORNING STAR struck on what was supposed to be an anchor, but the real cause was doubtless one of the wrecks above alluded to. The sloop MESSINGER, with a cargo of wheat, grounded there and damaged her cargo $3,000. The propeller MARQUETTE, cargo of merchandise, sank there in 1865, but subsequently got up; cargo badly damaged. In September of the same year the propeller PITTSBURGH struck and went ashore, and lightered off. Soon after the propeller WENONA grounded and was lightered off, and the steamer CANADA, of 166 tons, sunk and became a total loss there in September of 1865. In November, 1871, the propeller POTOMAC stove a hole in her bottom on the same obstruction and returned to Detroit, damages not stated. Soon after the propeller CHINA sustained a like disaster. The disasters of 1872 from the same cause were as follows: In May, the propeller MERCHANT, cargo merchandise, sunk, raised, and taken to Detroit. In August, bark C. K. NIMS, cargo grain, struck and sprung a leak. Bark RED, WHITE and BLACK (sic), stove hole in bottom, damaged cargo and brought to Detroit. In November schooner OWASCO, cargo corn, all damaged and vessel ashore but got off. Propeller BURLINGTON sunk and got up. Propeller PHILADELPHIA stranded but got off.
Schooner SAM FLINT, cargo grain, stranded and got off. In December, propeller RUSSIA, cargo grain, struck and sunk, raised and brought to Detroit.

Each year during the Christmas season, I find myself wishing I had a little devotional for our family. Something intentional to draw us together and focus on the real meaning of Christmas. My intentions are always high, to add my own activities or crafts in with a reading but I never seem to get around to it and my kids just keep on getting older, while I keep dreaming and not implementing.
Carol sent me her new book and I'm thrilled to share it with you. She has done a great job of writing a meaningful message, a creative activity, a thought provoking question to ponder and a prayer for each day, from December 1st to Christmas Eve. Some days there are a couple activity options. You can pick one activity and save the other one for next year. Or you could just pick the one you have the supplies for or will work best for your family. One of my favorite things about "The Family Book of Advent" is that there is a supply list in the back of the book. I was able to look over the list and see what items I don't have, in order to make myself a list of items I needed to purchase. That made it so simple to get prepared for the whole month of activities, in just a few minutes.
The book has three recipes included and are allergy friendly. One of the days suggests creating a new family tradition of making homemade hot cocoa together, then gathering around your Christmas tree to share memories of happy times, funny times, or maybe even sad times. For example, "I remember when..." or "My favorite Christmas memory was when...". Included is a recipe for homemade hot cocoa. Yep, Martha Stewart like homemade hot cocoa. This was a fun new idea to me! I've always just bought the mix to add to hot water. We are all out of the dry mix so this seemed like a perfect opportunity to make it from scratch which is probably much healthier anyways. The recipe calls for marshmallow creme which contains eggs so we had to skip that ingredient. Instead, I added a few regular sized marshmallows and stirred the cocoa until they melted.
Top with mini marshmallows or whipped cream, crushed candy canes or Enjoy Life's Mini Chocolate Chips (free of the Top 8 Food Allergens) or both. If you have a dairy/milk allergy, you might want to try Thai Coconut Milk whipped into cream. My sister Brenda's wonderful instructions are below.
To make Thai Coconut Milk (Dairy Free) Whipped Cream:
Place can in refrigerator until well chilled. Being careful not to shake the can, remove it from the refrigerator. It will solidify on top. Take that part out of the can and whip it with a sweetener of your choice.
"The Family Book of Advent" can be purchased at Barnes and Noble, Amazon and Christianbook.com.
Disclosure: I have been given one copy of "The Family Book of Advent". All review opinions are my own.

Our favorite tradition is the advent calendar from my mom. We have a wooden box with shutters for each day and inside are tiny ornaments which go on their very own tree. Many of the ornaments are from my exchange year in Germany.ReplyDelete
Our favorite traditions are baking, decorating, our Christmas eve/day plans are very traditional as to who we spend it with and what we do. And each year we get the girls an ornament. We love reminiscing over each ornament as we decorate the tree. Whether it be the ornaments we have gotten for them or that they have gotten from others, each is very special.ReplyDelete
I like & I like ;)ReplyDelete
I think one of our favorite traditions is to wear matchy matchy on christmas...if you spend christmas with us, we make sure you also match...family or friend :) it's fun. and of course we take pictures!ReplyDelete

One of my favorite Christmas memories as a child was walking two blocks to my Grandma's house and helping her make the Christmas pies from scratch. She had severe arthritis in her hands and had trouble rolling out the dough. It brought me great joy knowing I could help her and we could all still enjoy her wonderful baking. I think that's where my love of baking starting too!ReplyDelete
