The FINRA Arbitration Process
Almost all disputes involving securities brokers and their customers are resolved by arbitration under a process administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). FINRA was created on July 30, 2007, through the merger of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the New York Stock Exchange. FINRA is the largest non-governmental regulator of securities firms doing business in the United States. It oversees nearly 5,100 brokerage firms and more than 676,000 registered securities representatives. FINRA operates under a charter granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission to regulate the activities of its broker-dealer members and the members' registered representatives.
When a customer opens a brokerage account with a broker-dealer, the customer is usually required to sign new account papers that call for arbitration under the rules of FINRA Dispute Resolution, an arm of FINRA. FINRA Dispute Resolution operates an arbitration program for the resolution of disputes related to the activities of its members. As a result, virtually all disputes between customers and brokerage firms will be decided by a panel of arbitrators appointed by FINRA Dispute Resolution.
FINRA arbitration may be likened to a private court system. The case is initiated by the customer's attorney filing a complaint on behalf of the customer. Sixty days after the complaint is served, the respondents will be required to serve an answer. After the answer is filed, FINRA distributes lists of potential arbitrators. The parties are asked to reject arbitrators they do not want and rank those remaining. FINRA then selects three arbitrators from the lists returned by the parties. Typically, one of the three arbitrators will have a background in the securities business. The other two arbitrators are typically professionals (often attorneys) or businesspersons.
After arbitrators are selected, the panel will confer with the attorneys via telephone for the purpose of ironing out any discovery disputes and establishing a hearing schedule. The customer can expect that the hearing will take place approximately six to nine months after the telephone conference.
After the initial pre-hearing conference, the parties engage in a process called "discovery" by which information and documents are exchanged. Discovery in FINRA cases is much more limited than what is allowed in court litigation. Extensive interrogatories and depositions are generally not allowed.
The customer has the right under FINRA arbitration rules to have the hearing take place where the customer resided at the time the transactions in question took place. The hearing of the dispute is typically held in an informal setting such as a hotel conference room. Each side presents evidence by witnesses and documents, with the claimant having the right to go first. Hearings typically continue for three to four days. The parties are generally notified of the decision within 15 to 30 days after the hearing concludes.
The customer, in addition to paying legal fees, is responsible for expenses charged by FINRA for administering the case. FINRA charges a filing fee of up to $2,250 depending on the amount that is being claimed. Up to $1,500 of the filing fee will be refunded if the case is settled before ten days prior to the first scheduled arbitration hearing date. FINRA also assesses hearing session fees for each half-day hearing session. Like the filing fee, the hearing session fee is assessed on a sliding scale based on the amount in dispute. The maximum half-day hearing session fee is $1,500. The arbitrators have the discretion to allocate the hearing session fees between the parties. Oftentimes, the arbitrators split the hearing session fees equally between the parties.
After the close of the hearing, the arbitration panel deliberates and decides whether the claimant is entitled to relief. Majority rules, a unanimous decision is not required.
FINRA does not have an appeals process by which a party may challenge the arbitrators' decision. A party may challenge the arbitration award in court, but the grounds on which a court may overturn an arbitration award are quite limited. Under federal and state laws, a court may vacate an arbitration award if (1) the award was procured by corruption, fraud, or undue means; (2) there was evident partiality or corruption by the arbitrators; (3) the arbitrators were guilty of misconduct in refusing to postpone the hearing, or in refusing to hear relevant evidence, or of any other misbehavior by which the rights of any party was prejudiced; (4) the arbitrators exceeded their powers, or so imperfectly executed them that a mutual, final, and definite award on the subject matter submitted was not made; (5) the arbitrators disregarded a clearly defined law or legal principle that they were aware applied to the matter before them; or (5) there is no factual or reasonable basis for the award. Most arbitration awards are upheld by the courts.
Absent a challenge to the award, an industry party must pay arbitration awards within 30 days or risk suspension of his or its FINRA licenses.
While securities arbitration is a more streamlined process than litigation in court, the rules at play are complex. Investors need representation by attorneys who are experienced in FINRA rules and arbitration practice.

Clarence Seedorf is the latest coach to be sacked following the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations fallout.
Seedorf will be leaving the Indomitable Lions job alongside two others.
The announcement was made on television by Cameroon's minister of sport, Narcisse Mouelle Kombi, on Tuesday, after the defending champions exited the tournament after losing to Nigeria in the round of 16.
Kombi did not mince words on CRTV, saying, "Him staying seems problematic to me. I asked the president of the FA to notify him in accordance with the provisions of his contract." Punch report.
"Our national team played in an inefficient, monotonous and predictable way. There was no real leader in the squad.
Seedorf will be joining other casualties like Paul Put, who was fired by Guinea and Ricardo Mannetti sacked by Namibia.
Others who have lost their jobs are coaches of Egypt -Javier Aguirre, Tanzania - Emmanuel Amuneke, and Uganda - Sebastien Desabre.

I am working on updating our Auckland CBD map which is going to go on the back of our NZ Aotearoa map, along with WTG, CHCH, DUN, and the tourist towns of ROT and QTN. The spaghetti junction (Central Motorway Junction or CMJ) is a nightmare, and I am spending a lot of time and effort trying to show it in a clear and easy-to-read manner.
This got me thinking about the history of the junction and what it was like before this monster was built. I used to have an apartment on Upper Queen Street, near a section of the motorway, and I remember the foyer was full of images showing how the land looked before construction of the motorway, and there were many artifacts that were dug up on display such as old glass bottles etc. Large chunks of several suburbs were ripped up, and the motorway has slowly carved off sections of the Symonds St cemetery, which my apartment used to back onto.
The CMJ is the meeting place of 3 major roads north, south and west of Auckland, and also feeds the city and port with over 50,000 motorists and trucks per day from all those directions.
The design of the CMJ started in the 50's, and over 50 years and many, many politicians later; the construction of this monster is almost complete. Construction started in the 70's and in 1989 more links were added, the last being the connection between the western and southern routes.
Recently the connection between the northern and western routes opened, and I understand the western to northern route is to open soon. The northerners can now also drive directly to the port or to Waitakere without having to leave the motorway.

IMail Mobile Synchronization
Users now have the capability to synchronize their mobile devices with their web client information to include e-mail, contacts and calendar events. Users can maintain their contacts and calendar appointments from either their computer or mobile device, and remain synchronized.
Outlook synchronization is also capable, but requires installing the WorkgroupShare Client. This enables synchronizing e-mail, contacts, calendars, notes, and tasks between their web client, Outlook and their mobile devices.
Default Mobile Synchronization Settings
The new Console Administrator has the bulk edit user capability, and can turn on this feature by going to the Domain > User List page, select all users and checking the Enable Mobile Synchronization.
Warning: It is recommended that Mobile Synchronization is not turned on for all users simultaneously, as the initial mobile download will put a high stress on your IMail system. See System Requirements for mobile user recommendations.
See the IMail Administration Help > System Settings for more details on enabling this feature. Also available for mobile device owners is the Mobile Sync White Paper.
Product Update
To allow integration for all users to receive the greatest benefit for mobile synchronization, Ipswitch has modified the Product Offerings. WorkgroupShare previously only offered with IMail Premium has the component necessary to allow mobile synchronization with Outlook to include e-mail, contacts, calendars, tasks and notes. WorkgroupShare and Ipswitch Instant Messaging has been integrated into IMail Server Plus and IMail Server, obsoleting IMail Plus, and leaving IMail Server and IMail Premium. See new Table of IMail Product Features.
New IP Reputation by Commtouch (IMail Server Premium)
Ipswitch has integrated Commtouch's GlobalView™ Mail Reputation services into IMail Server Premium v11. By default upon installation the new IMailCommtouchIpRep service will be enabled (a wrapper for Commtouch's ctIPd™ daemon) and set to only logging. This default will need to be updated by your System Administrator to enable the full capability of Commtouch's IP Reputation daemon.
The Commtouch GlobalView Mail Reputation daemon (ctIPd™) is an embedded reputation engine with a small footprint. It is responsible for maintaining communication with the Commtouch Datacenter. ctIPd™ delivers reputation data to messaging, security and networking devices, providing an added layer of protection while saving valuable resources by enabling the messaging network to analyze and process requests before message reach the network. These querying devices post queries to ctIPd™ over HTTP, UDP, or RBL/RBL+ protocol requesting reputation data on source IP addresses attempting to establish SMTP sessions for sending messages to recipients.
See the Administration Help at Antispam > Premium Antispam, and Services > Antispam for more information.
IMail Console Administrator
Back by popular demand, the IMail Console Administration application has been rewritten with full functionality for handling all System Administration functions.
Note: WorkgroupShare (Collaboration) and Instant Messaging have been omitted, as separate Console applications already exist for both applications. Look for them at Start > Programs > Ipswitch IMail Server.

Tip: Before installing on Microsoft Windows 2008 Server, be sure IIS 7 has "Metabase Compatability" enabled. See also Installing IMail Server on Microsoft® Windows 2008.
Starting Web Admin and Web Client
After installation, you have the option to launch the IMail Web Admin automatically. If you choose not to launch IMail Web Admin automatically, in your browser address box, type the IP address or domain name of the IMail Web Server followed by the path where you installed the Web Admin.
For example:
http://mail.domain.com/IAdmin, then press ENTER. The Ipswitch Web Admin login page appears.
Click Start > Programs > Ipswitch IMail Server > IMail Server Administration. The Ipswitch Web Admin login page appears.
To launch the Web Client, in your browser address box, type the IP address or domain name of the IMail Web Server followed by the path where you installed Web Client.
For example: http://mail.domain.com/IClient, then press ENTER. The Ipswitch Web Client login page appears.
Web Messaging Notes for Upgraders
The Web Messaging templates have been redesigned and no longer support the Web template infrastructure implemented in previous versions of Web Messaging (included in IMail 8.2 and earlier). When you upgrade to IMail 2006 and later, the previous versions of the Web templates are not functional.
Note: Port 8383 is no longer the default port for Web Messaging, as IIS by default uses port 80.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL version 3) Notes
The private key file is protected using a password specified in SSL Configuration Utility. This password is required for decoding the key file while loading the SSL server. This password is stored in the registry and automatically retrieved during the loading process of SSL Server. The registry path for IMail is usually SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\imail\ssl. The registry path must be correct; otherwise an error message is generated and the files will not be created.
To set a redirect so Web Messaging users do not have to use \IClient in the URL for Web Messaging:
Click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services. The IIS console opens.
Right-click IClient (usually located under Web Site > Default Web Site).
Select Properties. The IClient Properties dialog box opens.
In the Execute Permissions list, click Scripts only.
Copy the directory path in the Local Path box.
Click OK.
Right-click Default Web Site.
Select Properties. The Default Web Site Properties dialog box opens.
Click the Home Directory tab.
Paste the directory path you copied from the IClient dialog box Local Path box into the Default Web Site Properties dialog box Local Path box
Warning: Downgrading from IMail Server Premium v11 or later to v10.01 or earlier will cause the Premium Antispam Services to stop working.
Read the KB article for details on downgrading to IMail Server v10, or v10.01:
Once a user has installed and been licensed with Commtouch Premium services, he/she can no longer be downgraded to a previous version unless the Mail-Filter license has been backed up and saved to a path outside of the Ipswitch folder.
Important: Downgrading from IMail Server v11 or later to IMail Server v10.02 or earlier will remove Ipswitch Instant Messaging and WorkgroupShare.
To downgrade the IMail Server back to a previous version without uninstalling:
Note: The IAdmin and IClient virtual directories and web files will still be on the computer.
Important: Mailbox sizes are corrupted after downgrading IMail 11 or later to an earlier version (IMail 8.x). If you have quotas set up, they will fail. To correct this, delete the .uid and .xml files.
Important: When downgrading IMail 11 Server or later to a previous IMail version, you need to delete the configuration.xml file from the top-level IMail folder
Add/Remove Programsapplet in the Windows Control Panel.
Removing IMail Server using the Add/Remove Programs applet does not delete the IMail directory or the subdirectories and files it contains. To remove these, you must delete them manually.
Everything is deleted in the Windows registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Ipswitch\IMail (but the Ipswitch key is not removed).
Directories and files created by setup.exe are removed if they have not been modified. For example, if you have not added any users (and root never gets mail), the Users directory is removed. If these directories have been modified (i.e. the root or users accounts have received mail), you must remove them manually.

Excuse the rhyme in the title, and all that.
Thanks to the big 80s bash that we threw on Steve's birthday, we didn't do the fancy birthday dinner with his parents until the day after his birthday. No big deal, though! He had been jonesing to try The Melting Pot, and I love that place anyway. Reservations were made (5 PM--I know how long a four-course Melting Pot dinner takes) and the four of us arrived hungry and ready to ingest copious amounts of fondue.
Now...having worked in the restaurant industry, I understand that they are methodical about seating people. But sometimes, there just has to be a better way. And this was one of those times. When we arrived there was maybe one other table that was occupied...yet the hostess walked us around a corner, up a step, around another corner, and down a step...and sat us in a booth in the far back corner of the restaurant. It was so dark back there that even my young, spry eyes (ha! yeah right) couldn't read the menu. And the booth? Holy crap. Just imagine four people, the shortest of whom is 5'8", squeezed in a space that from one booth back to the other is no more than four feet wide. With a giant block table and a hot fondue plate and pot in between.
No. Thank. You.
We requested to be moved, which normally I wouldn't do. Normally I would suck it up and not want to screw with their system. But this was bad. So bad that I'm not even sure why those tables existed in the first place.
But I digress. Because this isn't about the crappy back corner booth of The Melting Pot, and anyway, they moved us to the front room and a nice spacious table with far better lighting.
This blog is more so about the food, and about what we learned on this particular Melting Pot trip.
For those of you who have no idea what The Melting Pot is, exactly--it is a fondue restaurant. And I'm not going to go into what fondue is--if you want to know, look it up. But the most popular meal option at Melting Pot is "The Big Night Out". Cheese fondue for two, a salad for each person, a giant plate of meats and seafood for two, and dessert fondue for two. This usually runs $75-90 per couple. So, not cheap. You can do the meal a la carte, but that actually ends up being more expensive--at least if you're planning on still getting one of everything.
Which I kind of...thought you had to do. There you go, my blonde moment for the month of May, brought to you by The Melting Pot. I'll give Steve and his parents the benefit of the doubt--they were new to the Melting Pot phenomenon, and it wasn't until I overheard the couple behind us ordering that I realized...::gasp::...you can go to the Melting Pot and only get cheese fondue. Or only get a fondue entree. Or only get a combo of cheese and dessert fondue. You can do whatever you want--just like any other restaurant.
As Homer Simpson would say, "Doh!"
Of course, as our story goes, we had it all. First things first, drinks--and you have to order the Strawberry Basil Lemonade. Sounds weird, but it's delicious, trust me.
Then, cheese fondue. This being Steve's first time, we just chose the Traditional Swiss and had apples, veggies, and bread cubes for dipping. Anything with Gruyere makes me melt (pardon the pun) so I have nothing bad to say about this particular cheese mix.
Next, salad. I tried to convince everyone that Caesar was the way to go (Melting Pot has great Caesar dressing, and the parmesan-encrusted pine nuts are to die for), but only Chas, Steve's dad, listened. (Good man!) Whatever, I enjoyed my Caesar salad and pooh to those who didn't order it! (::ahem:: Steve and Julie)
Now, I will mention that Steve did enjoy our waitress's hint to stuff the mushroom caps included with the entree with something, and then dip them in some sauce, and then fry them in the oil. Numerous jokes about stuffing the finest dish with the second finest dish a la Moe from The Simpson's were made.
Fact: I have no idea when I became a Simpson's fan. Maybe it's just for this entry.
Finally, dessert. I really can't decide which I get more excited about, the cheese fondue or the dessert fondue. Regardless, we chose the S'Mores (milk chocolate with marshmallow cream swirl and a sprinkling of graham crackers) dip and it was heavenly. And then we practically had to roll ourselves out the door, and Steve had the revelation that when one has eaten too much...one can't drive fast. It sounds weird, but next time you're stuffed with too much holiday or restaurant food, pay attention to your speedometer on the drive home and think of us.
And we seriously didn't think about eating again until about two in the afternoon the next day...but that's another tale for another time ;)

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness
Publisher's Description
In 2005 For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness was published to critical acclaim, selling out soon after it's release. Germain's warm and affectionate portrait of Charles Albert Lucian Snelling (Charlie) is now reprinted in a glowing new edition.
I met Charles Albert Lucien Snelling on a Saturday in April, 1992.
He lived in a typical two up two down terraced house amongst many other two up two down terraced houses… It was yellow and orange. In that respect it was totally different from every other house on the street. Charlie was a simple, gentle, man. He loved flowers and the names of flowers. He loved colour and surrounded himself with colour. He loved his wife. Without ever trying or intending to, he showed me that the most important things in life cost nothing at all. He was my antidote to modern living. Julian Germain
In a series of photographs made over eight years, Julian Germain captured the quiet, contemplative existence of an old man living alone in a small house in a city on the south coast of England. Unfettered by the misplaced aspirations of the modern world, Charlie spent the last years of his life absorbed in his memories of his wife, his children, his love for flowers, music and the quotidian pleasures of the crossword, and his albums of his own photographs. Germain's photographs of Charlie, his home and the things he owned are a beautiful, gentle portrait of a gentleman in his twilight years.

Wisconsin Lawmakers Propose Increased OWI Penalties
By Andrew Mishlove on March 21, 2013
According to a report by the Journal-Sentinel, two Republican lawmakers, Representatives Jim Ott and Alberta Darling, have introduced a bill that would increase penalties for drunk driving in Wisconsin, particularly for first offenders.
The proposed legislation would mandate a court appearance for all first-time offenders and will criminalize first-time offenders who had a blood alcohol level of 0.15 or above.
In a December 26th op-ed, the lawmakers explained the reasons for their legislation, which they described as aimed at those who "super drunk," with a blood alcohol level of 0.15 and above, which is twice the legal limit. They described their goal as deterring bad behavior and making our roads safer even though the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration suggests enforcing laws are already in effect to protect vehicle occupants.
The key provisions of the proposed legislation:
***All those facing drunk driving charges for the first time will be required to make a court appearance.
***All first offenders who have a BAC of.15 will face criminal charges. This may come with a fine up to $1,100 and up to six months in jail. Second time offenders may also face increased penalties with higher fines and more jail time. A third offense would be a felony and allow seizure of the car used at the time.
***Mandatory minimum sentences would be set for OWIs which result in an accident, including six months in jail. Significantly, if the accident results in a death the mandatory minimum would be ten years in prison.
Many legislators oppose this legislation, in large part because the new law will require significant new government expenditures. Putting people in jail costs money, from increased costs for prosecutors and police to the cost of prison. Governor Walker's spokesperson told the Journal Sentinel, "While Governor Walker supports cracking down on drunk drivers, he will evaluate the final versions of these bills when they reach his desk." Municipalities also derive substantial income from the civil prosecutions. If these cases become criminal, the municipalities will lose that income.
Similar legislation has failed to pass in previous legislative sessions, in large part because of concerns that the increased penalties would result in substantial costs.
A Wisconsin DUI Lawyer Can Protect Your RightsAlthough this legislation may not pass, people who have a record of drunk driving offenses always face the risk the state or federal legislature will increase penalties for multiple DUI offenses, so a conviction years ago when penalties were lighter may have serious consequences in the future.
Anyone facing any DUI charge should seek out the help of an experienced drunk driving lawyer. You should find one who is familiar with potential problems with testing equipment that may result in false readings and can challenge false readings. In other cases, a plea can be reached with fewer long-term consequences.

'Bad' childhood habits that are actually good for your child
The next time you see your child do one of these supposedly 'bad' habits, just relax and know that it's actually good for them!
Being a parent is hard work. And these days, it's even harder for parents since you hear a lot of conflicting information about what's good and what's bad when it comes to your child's habits.
To help clear things up, here are some 'bad' childhood habits that are actually good for your child!
1. Using a pacifier
Some parents worry that their child might get to attached to using a pacifier, so they opt to not give their kid a pacifier at all. Some parents also fear that their child's teeth might have problems if they use a pacifier.
And while those are true to an extent, one of the most important benefits of using a pacifier is that it can prevent SIDS, or sudden infant death syndrome. It also helps kids deal with anxiety, which can be helpful to prevent tantrums and fits of crying.
So don't worry too much about your kid and pacifiers. It might actually be saving their life!
2. Playing video games
Ah video games. They're fun, and they can also sometimes be addictive if you can't control your child.
However, video games can actually improve your child's hand-eye coordination, and improve their critical thinking skills. Of course, it's important to limit their video game time to a maximum of 2 hours each day, and make sure that they're playing age-appropriate games.
It's also better if you can join in with your kid so that you can make video game time a bonding activity for you and your child.
3. Playing in the dirt
Playing around in the dirt is something that a lot of parents don't allow their kids to do. However, studies have shown that kids don't necessarily have to be 100% clean all of the time. In fact, being exposed to germs and playing around in the dirt can help boost their immune system since their bodies slowly adapt to the environment.
So the next time you see your kid playing with dirt, don't worry about it too much.
4. Running around barefoot
Similar to playing in the dirt, some parents don't allow their kids to run barefoot for fear of germs getting into their children's feet. However, this is nothing to worry about since if you keep your home clean and scrub your floors every so often, you don't need to worry about any harmful bacteria.
In fact, walking and running around barefoot helps develop your child's postural muscles and improves their foot arch strength. Just make sure they don't run around barefoot outside!
5. Playing with pets
A lot of parents worry about letting their babies play with pets since they fear that the pet might hurt their child or that the pets are too dirty. However, some new studies suggest that exposing children to pets early on while their immune systems are still developing can lower the risk that their child will develop pet allergies later on in life!
So let your dogs play with your child, just make sure that you're there to supervise!

In the period from December 4 to December 26, 2014 our Company (100 TONNE MONTAGE) unloaded parts of presses (1 to 25 tonnes each) from 13 sea containers, shifted 3 presses (PANSTONE, Taiwan) to the mounting site and mounted them within the premises of Ural Plant of Lining General Mechanical Rubber Goods (Yekaterinburg). Mass of assembled presses is from 40 to 83 tonnes.
The parts of presses were transported to the mounting site on a 40-tonne capacity material-handling vehicle. Then they were mounted with the help of a 10 and 125-tonne gantry systems. Low ceilings of an old factory building was a complicating factor. With the ceiling height of 4,800 mm the press crown was at 3,600 mm.

Home Value, What is the Value of my home?
What is the Value of my home?
When selling you home one of the first things most sellers want to know is, "what is the value of my home?".
Home values are determined by numerous variables, the most important is how much buyers are willing to pay.
For example, in a buyer's market your home might be worth $350k, but if buyer's are only willing to pay $325k, then you property is truly only worth $325k. Now what if there is a high demand, your home might be worth more!
As your Realtor I can evaluate the sale of comparable homes in your surrounding area, along with the housing demands and other factors to predict the possible results we can expect when selling your home.
Let's get started!

Despite Research that Shows Otherwise, MLB Insists There Were No Changes to Postseason Baseballs
Arthur went on to clarify that weather is not the culprit for these outcomes. He stated that drag factors in both temperature and pressure, while also noting conditions have been more optimal than normal and don't have a significant overall impact. Considering the research he provided, and the comments offered up by Baseball America's J.J. Cooper, I began to think of specific examples.
Earlier I mentioned thinking that something seemed off about that Dodgers and Nationals game to close out the National League Division Series. I didn't dig in enough to see the amount of wall scrapers typically present on a game-by-game basis, but it certainly seemed abnormal. I did however consider that Will Smith at bat in the bottom of the 9th. His 100 mph exit velocity and 26-degree launch angle resulted in a fly out. During the regular season there was 75 similar occurrences of those inputs, and they resulted in 44 homers with an 83% base hit rate.
This is a Minnesota Twins website, so let's bring things full circle here. Parker Hageman immediately turned to Monday's game against the Yankees. I remembered thinking it was odd to see Gleyber Torres barely get out on a well struck ball, but it was Marwin Gonzalez's blast that immediately looked gone and fell way short that got me. As Parker notes, the Twins 1B had his well struck ball become a pretty small outlier.
If we think back to game one, there were homers hit by both Miguel Sano and Nelson Cruz that struck me as odd. Although the ball went out to the opposite field, power sluggers like those two rarely need every extra inch to reach the seats. In doing some research through MLB's own Statcast service, the balls that left the yard in the Postseason traveled an average of 70 feet shorter than they same circumstances produced during the regular season.
All along, the expectation should've been that the sport would walk the baseball back. Despite the home run providing a level of excitement to the game (one that pace of play changes would seemingly be geared towards), Rob Manfred has publicly stated that inquiries would be made too many times for tools of the trade to go untouched. What strikes this writer as irresponsible, unfair, and downright disingenuous is to make these wholesale changes during the season.
The point isn't to suggest that the Twins or any other team is getting a raw deal because of the deadened baseball. What is fair is for players across the league, most importantly hitters, to have a level of frustration aimed at the governing body of their sport. As former pitcher Dallas Braden puts it, "The guy that deflated footballs in the NFL was drug over the coals by the commissioner of the NFL for altering the sports' ball. What do WE do when it's THE COMMISSIONER altering balls like some MAD plastic surgeon? Let the man snip & shape as he sees fit, no issues?"
I'll never have a problem with seasons being analyzed separately as not all factors remain the same as the calendar changes. I do think you've got a significant problem when the integrity of a collective season is being manipulated at the drop of a hat.
Because of this uproar Major League Baseball has now issued a statement on the situation. Unfortunately it does little to address any of the actual problems and avoids any statements that point to real reasons why there's such drastic changes in results.

The following article, written by Ashok Selvam, appears on Chicago.Eater.com.
While Chicago has plenty of pizzerias, the city hasn't experienced the sublime topping combos that debut today at Bonci Pizzeria. Gabriele Bonci, the founder of the world-famous Italian restaurant — the pizzarium — feels Rome and Chicago share similar urban demographics and that will make his pizza a winner in America; this is Bonci's first location outside of Italy. Customers in Europe endure long lines seeking Bonci's Roman-style pizza al taglio, sliced up with scissors and sold by the weight. It's one of Eater's Essential Roman restaurants.

Have you ever seen this? http://livemancave.wordpress.com/2014/07/01/funny-games-1997/
Would be interested in your thoughts. Good work!
I actually haven't seen that movie yet, after reading the review I am very interested in it. I will watch it and write a review. Thank you for the kind words!
What do you think of foreign horror, especially the much more contemporary films (Let the Right One In, Dead Snow, Ringu, Martyrs, Triangle, The Descent, etc)?
Haven't seen any of them, I will get to them though. Have a lot of movies I want to review, but if you have a specific movie you would like reviewed id be happy to review it!
Really nice blog. Good to see about horror movies me and my fiancee love them. Its so hard to find a good one nowadays nothing like the classics. Also off topic question how did you get the custom background and stuff on here? Im guessing a purchase of just the custom design option? Any who really good work.
I got my background from Google, I saw the image on Google and put apply image when I was creating the background.
so you can change the background then for free. I wonder if my theme allows for a background. Keep up the good work
Yeah I was allowed to change for free. Thanks!
Hi Matthew, how exciting to see your blog has expanded exponentially. Just read you created an app for it. Would love to know how you went about doing that! So glad you discovered a love of blogging in my class.
Hey Mrs. Jacobson, I started blogging a lot after your class and honestly love every second of it. You taught me so much about blogging and all that other good stuff and I just want to thank you for making that class fun for the students, everything is much simpler when you actually enjoy what you're doing.
As for the app, I went to a website called appmakr
It wasn't that hard, all I had to do was insert links to all my sites and just put pictures and choose the icons I wanted. I did it for my Intro to E-Business class, my professor told me that I should also try to create an app on appinventor, but I tried to create one their and just couldn't, it was pretty complicated. Would of been nice to get the app in the Google play store, but for know it will just have to suffice on the appmakr market, but luckily people can download my app onto their androids from that site as well.
You've been nominated. Again, I don't know if horror is, necessarily, "lovely," but I enjoy the blog so to each her/his own, eh? http://thisonpurpose.wordpress.com/2014/10/28/aw-shucks/

Paper or Plastic? The Benefits of Plastic Bags over Paper Bags
The rise of plastic bags in retail and grocery stores was initially heralded by environmentalists as plastic grocery bags require 40-70 percent less energy to manufacture and take up less space on trucks and in landfills. Also, statistics on plastic bag recycling (plasticbagrecycling.org) show that 90% of Americans reuse their plastic bags repurposing them as lunch bags, trash can liners, or for the removal of pet waste. Most plastic grocery bags are also recyclable. Anything with a number two or four on them can be recycled in the U.S. at participating centers and reused into building and construction products or new plastic bags. Commonly recycled plastics include:
furniture wrap
plastic cereal liner bags
paper towel/toilet paper wrappings
fruit/vegetable bags
plastic bags surrounding new electronics
Plastics excluded from recycling in the U.S. include but are not limited to the following:
cling wrap
prepackaged food bags (such as frozen food bags)
anything with excessive paint or glue
The Trouble with Recycling HDPE
While people do tend to reuse their plastic bags, after one more use, it finds it's way to a landfill more often than a recycling center. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that one fifth of all waste in landfills is plastic. Not until recent years has the awareness been raised and more pressure put on stores to provide plastic bag recycling.
The Infrequency of Plastic Bag Recycling
The scarcity of recycling drops where people can leave bags is largely a result of the inferior amount of recycling plants willing to accept HDPE plastics. Due to HDPE's durability and strength, these plastic bags constantly get caught in the recycling machines, causing a halt in progress and costly repairs. Not only do many places not accept these for recycling, but also the general public is not accustomed to returning their bags and do not notice the bag returns when they pass them.

Dave Crowley
September 23, 2011
Hi Al – I'm glad that you took the time to write this story. I would like to modify it slightly. Here is my edited version – please replace the original version with this one. Again, I am glad you did the original write up and I am proud to know you are able to use this write up as a means to help you continue helping others. So that you know how I feel, I owe you a debt that can never be repaid. Understand that I think of you often and still can't believe how lucky I am to have met you – – and how lucky I am to have met my biological mother.
Dave C. – An Adoption Reunion Story With A Very Happy Ending
During the Fall of2008 while I was working on a geneaology project I attended a seminar at the New England Historical Genealogical Society on Newbury Street in Boston where I met a gentleman named Dave Crowley. We were both attending an all day workshop Irish family research sponsored by The Irish Ancestral Research Association (TIARA). As it ends up, Dave sat in the empty chair next to me – likely fate was staring right at the both of us that day. We began chatting when the mid-morning coffee break occurred. Throughout the day we talked about our common interests in family research and I gave him one of my business cards when the seminar ended. Upon examining my business card, Dave asked what was meant by the reference on "Adoption Reunions" and "Adoption Research".the type of research that I did.
He explained to me that he had been adopted and had been told that he was born in Boston. I asked Dave if he had done any research on his birth parents, he responded by indicating that he had thought about looking for his biological parents but had not followed through on it. I informed Dave that there was a new law in Massachusetts that was passed in December of 2007 which made it easier to get information on his adoption records and what he could do if he decided to search for his parents. Little did I know that more than a year would pass before I heard from Dave again.
Out of the blue, I received a phone call from Dave on a cold blustery winter afternoon in January 2010. As he spoke, he explained that he had gone ahead and took the first step – he went to the Dept of Vital Statistics near Columbia Road in Dorchester and had obtained a copy of his original birth certificate.
Initially, he admitted that he has sat on the idea and dwelled on it for months. Dave thanked me for guiding him, he had gone ahead and had done what I had described to him at the seminar on Newbury Street. Dave explained that he had done some research with the names on his birth certificate but he had reached a stalemate with his research. He had a list of potential family names that he needed some advice as to figuring out who was who.
A short time after that phone call we met at my office and he gave me his list to sort through. I took a few weeks to do some research. A short time later I reconnected with Dave back at my office and confirmed that he had in fact found names that were actual relatives of his biological family. Dave asked for advice as to where to go from there. I gave Dave several possible scenarios on how adoptees reunite once factual information is known on a biological family member.
This is always an unscripted decision – a personal decision, an important decision for anyone in search for their biological parents. Dave thanked me for my guidance and departed my office that afternoon with my not knowing whether or not he would pursue the trail he was on.
In October of 2010, I received another call from Dave. He asked me if he could meet me at my office in Marshfield. He said he had a story to tell me and he wanted to do this in person. We met a few days later and he told me the story about his meeting his biological mother. More than two years after we initially met, Dave sat before me offering stunning details that included an emotional reunion where he found his mother and that he had many, many other extended family members. He was quite happy with his results and so were his new found family members!

Jenelle beat up a 1 year old!
Last Saturday, we had dinner with friends. Altogether there were six kids; Jack, Jenelle, a 5 year old girl, an almost 3 year old girl, an almost 2 year old and a baby that just turned one. During dinner, Jenelle sat in the living room that was already baby proof with various toys sitting around her. She had taken a liking to a tiny toy piano with Barney on it and was at times kicking it to get it to make music.
The one year old baby arrived late to the party and was placed on the floor near Jenelle. It was amazing to see how small this child was in comparison to Jenelle's almost 4 year old body frame, and how she could do so much more developmentally than Jenelle. The baby was not yet walking, but could crawl fast and get into things easily. Eventually, the baby took an interest in Jenelle's Barney piano.
I slowly watched the situation to see what Jenelle would do next, because even though it seemed she wasn't playing with the toy, I knew she was still interested in it. I watched, and all of a sudden, Jenelle rolled onto her side, leaned back, and kicked the baby square in the chest - not too hard, but enough to roll the baby back away from the toy! The baby screamed bloody murder and her Father (who thankfully witnessed the whole incident) picked her up, moved her to the other side of the room and got her interested in another toy. And then we laughed.
I am so curious to know now exactly what Jenelle is thinking. I would love to communicate with her somehow. Clearly, she wanted to get the toy back, and that was her way of responding to the baby. I am so proud! She's come a long way, don't you think?

Right on Janelle!!! I love it when these kids defend themselves. Just beautiful. As for what she was "thinking"? She was thinking, "get away from that piano!"
That is great!!! I am so glad Jenelle was able to stand up for what she wanted!!! Go Jenelle!!!! I am so happy that she is coming a long way. I would love for more kids with disabilties to be able to defend what is "rightfully" theirs. Keep up the great work with her and can't wait to hear more great news!!

Good for Janelle! I'm glad to read that she is sticking up for herself!
Is it possible for Janelle to sign at all? We are teaching Parker to sign so that we can know what he is thinking.
I'm not sure if this is the place to leave it, but I wanted to let you know we have a temporary BrainTalk up and running until John Lester gets the real deal back: http://forums.braintalk2.org/index.php

Mid-Term Report Summary - ENCODE (Design Principles in Encoding Complex Noisy Environments)
In this work we delineate the mechanisms by which animals encode complex environments. For this we focus on C. elegnas animals and measure how animals exposed to complex stimuli integrate the information in the sensory system and how this information is transmitted downstream through the neural network. Moreover, we aim to measure these processes in behaving animals that are free to choose from different options and attend to the different stimuli. To address these questions we developed two novel trackers: (1) A multi-Animal Tracker that allows high-throughput screening of interesting conditions by tracking multiple animals simultaneously. Moreover, fine features of locomotion and navigation in chemotaxis gradients towards food cues can be extracted. (2) A Tracker that measures neural activity in freely-behaving animals. This tracker allows correlating between the neural activity and computation done in circuits to behavioral outputs such as chemotaxis and decision making. In addition, to focus on target interesting circuits we generate transgenic lines which express a combination of Channerhodopsin, Archaerhodopsin and GCaMP to activate, inhibit and measure from individual target neurons, respectively. Using these lines we will be able to decipher the computational roles of neural circuits in integrating complex environments and processing information from the sensory layer downstream to the interneuron and neuromuscular layers.

Valverde's Barcelona
Abdiel_rivera10 posted a topic in Tactics, Training & Strategies DiscussionI was reading an article FC Barcelona posted on their twitter account (https://www.fcbarcelona.com/football/first-team/news/2017-2018/barca-valverde-style-fcbarcelona) on how they've been playing recently under Valverde. Barcelona are lining up in their typical 4-3-3 or 4-1-2-2-1 with Messi given more of a free role through the middle with Deulofeu and more recently Dembele playing more on the right than on the left. The wingbacks, in this case, Jordi Alba and Nelson Semedo are running up and down the flanks giving the team some width. Sergio Busquets keeps his deep position on attack and on defence he slots in between the two centrebacks, Andres Iniesta still pulls the strings in the midfield with Ivan Rakitic providing more of an attacking support while still being solid on defence. On defence they have Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti playing an extremely high line wich sometimes goes over the halfway line. They are also pressing relentlessly to recover possesion as quickly as possible. So my initial ideal lineup was this Goalkeeper (defend) - roll it out, distribute to centrebacks WBR - Complete Wing Back (attack) DCR - Ball Playing Defender (defend) DCL - Ball Playing Defender (defend) WBL - Complete Wing Back (attack) DM - Deep Lying Playmaker (defend) MCR - B2B (support) MCL - Advanced Playmaker (support) AMR - Inside Forword (support) - sit narrower AMC - Advanced Playmaker (attack) - get further forward, roam from position, move into channels STC - Deep Lying Forward (support) - roam from position TIs - Retain Possesion, Shorter Passing, Play Out Of Defence, Work Ball Into Box, Look For Overlap, Play Narrower, Much Higher Defensive Line, Close Down Much More, Low Crosses Will update after I finish pre-season with some more screenshots and how the team got on in terms of results and actually playing the way I want them to play. Any criticism is appreciated!! Cheers! P.S. This is my first analysis/go at a tactical recreation if anything is out of place or needs more info feel free to tell me.
Messi role
dimi_anathema posted a topic in Tactics, Training & Strategies DiscussionHi everyone, I would like to ask for your constructive feedback on how to replicate the real-life Messi role and how to get the most out of him (possibly two separate things). So far I have tried several roles on him, mostly on a 4-4-2 similar to what I think Valverde plays. -As a False 9, paired with a CF(att). In this case, he gets a lot of assists but doesn't score much. Also, he doesn't dribble as much as I would like, although I have "dribble more" enabled, but either passes or shoots from far away (with shoot less often he doesn't shoot at all) -As a Trequartista in attack, paired with a CF(sup). In this case he scores like crazy, but he doesn't return to the middle so much as he does IRL. -As a Trequartista in AMC paired with a CF(sup) upfront. Now sometimes he gets lost in the game. I know it could also mean it is a matter of general team tactics, so I would also like to hear your experiences. PS: I know Barcelona is not a really difficult challenge. I just want the fun of replicating Messi, so please don't bomb me with such messages. Thanks.

An aspiring ISIS jihadi found his induction ceremony was for the birds.
As the wannabe terrorist pledges his allegiance to the death cult, a loudly squawking bird appears to make a mockery of the solemn ceremony.

ISIS jihadi mocked by bird during induction ceremony Back to video
Video footage — worthy of South Park — has now emerged online as the humourous bird appears to be needling the jihadi identified, as Abu Muhammad al-Adeni.
And even after he tries to reboot his pledge to ISIS and Allah, the bird continues to interrupt his prepared speech written on small pieces of paper.
But like any good jihadi, he's quick to anger.
Another ISIS member not on camera cautions him to "stay calm, keep cool".
The embarrassing footage was shot by the Yemeni wing of ISIS and released by terror rivals Al-Qaeda earlier this week.
Al-Qaeda militants allegedly discovered the footage after taking over a camp in Yemen, according to the Independent.
The terror blooper reel was said to have been recorded in 2017 and was shared by Dr. Elisabeth Kendall, a Middle East expert at Oxford University.
She tweeted: "Heroic bird relentlessly drowns out ISIS-Y's attempt to renew allegiance to the caliph.
"Leader's feeble memory adds to the woes … These bodged 'takes' didn't make it into the official video of this solemn event, released end July."

In late 2007, the United States fell into a "Great Recession." According to the National Bureau of Economic Research the recession officially ended in June 2009, but it took several more years for average household income and expenditures to exceed their 2008 levels in nominal terms. The recession lowered household income and consumer expenditures across all income groups. This Spotlight on Statistics examines trends in income and expenditures and how unevenly the gains were distributed across socioeconomic groups.

What and how is a Deerhound.
A good Deerhound always knows to arouse admiration, both by his imposing, noble and elegant appearance as well as by his intelligence and honest character.
We do not want to pay attention to the very interesting history of the breed, which can be found on many other sites that you can access through the links and in books.
We do want to tell you something about what and how a Deerhound is. It is our experience that we have from 1984 with Deerhounds. Every Deerhound is different, but most of them are recognizable for the experienced Deerhound enthusiast.
The Deerhound is therefore a greyhound, an independent hunter on the eye. He was originally used for hunting deer over very rugged and hilly terrain in Scotland.
Therefore he also has a wirehaired coat that is 8 to 10 cm. Long and protects him from the gure, wet Scottish climate and also gives him some protection against any injuries he might incur during hunting.
The physique and the head are slender, he has long, moderately angular front legs and well-angled hind legs, the tail is very long and the neck is graceful but very sturdy. The Deerhound does not have such a long neck as the Greyhound because the Deerhound has not been bred to pick up game from the ground, but to take down and kill a large deer. Therefore, too, the Deerhound must be large and powerful and can have a very good stamina. One of the most notable features is its rhythmic, flowing and dancing gait. The latter is because of the slightly more angular side and the clearly arched lumbar party, which is essential for effortlessly moving over hilly and rough terrain.
The Deerhound is one of the longest living large dogs.Edle Emmy vom Welzerberg, almost 11 and a half years and still playful
A bitch can reach an age of 11 to 13 years and a male for 9 to 11 years. Exceptions left there. Usually, the hearing, the facial and olfactory ability of these elderly "dogs" is still very good.
It takes a long time before a Deerhound is mature, 3 to 4 years is normal but there are also those that are only "finished" at 5 years of age, especially the males.
Despite the fact that the Deerhound is a fair, gentle, intelligent and healthy dog, he is not very popular. Perhaps this is because of its dull, grey coat and because the other greyhounds have more imposing (Irish wolfhound), coloured (Whippet), and/or a more attractive coat (Borzoi, Afghan).
The Deerhound has a nice "will to please" and is therefore very compliant. Some Deerhounds find it really nice to follow behaviour and obedience courses, others prefer to do coursing or track running. Because they are so obedient and easy to obey, you can let them go during a walk. They don't walk away, and once they get behind a rabbit they come back immediately when they lose sight of them.
A Deerhound is a very emotional "dog". He feels very good moods and atmospheres, but can also turn out very well to show how he feels.
Most of them are soon impressed by an angry voice, so heavy-handed punishment is really not necessary.
Deerhounds are not fighter bosses, even excessively dominant behaviour is already atypical because they are already large enough and therefore do not have to be ' true '. However, a young, slightly dominant male must be properly supervised, so that you can talk to aggressive males in old age without being ugly. Accepting aggressive behaviour is absolutely unacceptable, they are too big and too strong. Many people commit the mistake of not raising a Deerhound because they are so sweet. It is thought that it all goes without saying, but just like an ordinary dog, a Deerhound should be brought up later to behave like a ' real ' Deerhound.
In principle, the Deerhound is a very peace-loving "dog" and he is crazy with everything that lives in his surroundings. At a young age, they will come to everyone and everything to be cited. Because of their size, this may still cause problems because most people don't see that it is a young dog. Make sure you are always around to tell this and to prevent your Deerhound from gaining a nasty experience.
They are also real children's friends, even Deerhounds who have not grown up between children are very careful with them and will run away rather than growl against them.
Daphne and Lêod, the biggest friends Daphne and Lêod, the biggest friends
Because the Deerhound is so high on its legs, it collects little dirt in his fur. Little dogs can sit underneath the dredge after a walk, at the Deerhound this only happens if you let two play in a plowed pasture, otherwise you only have a few dirty feet.
In The house they are very quiet. They are not nervous and do not run constantly behind you. They don't bark, only if it's really necessary or if they want to play. They also don't ask for much space, despite their size they are able to wriggle in a small corner of the couch, they can roll up like a cat; With the tail over the nose. However, they need a lot of movement, at least two hours a day and preferably free movement so that they can fully enjoy themselves.
Coney and Calhoun, nice romp on the Moor Coney and Calhoun, nice romp on the Moor Coney and Calhoun, yummy Romp on the Moor You can not offer this, do not take a greyhound.
It is said that your dogs should not look right, that arouses aggression. It is also claimed that dogs like to eat large chunks of food. A Deerhound, however, is looking for eye contact and eats preferably small pieces, a whole Frolicje find some too big! Among others this shows that a Deerhound is not a common dog therefore I call them also "hounds".

Exciting news. Our app has a new name – Healthily. Learn more
If you decide to have a body piercing, make sure you find a reputable, licensed body piercing shop or piercer.
Piercing of the ears, nose, belly button and tongue are especially popular among teenagers and young adults. They are all fairly safe procedures, as long as they're performed by a licensed specialist and care is taken by the piercer and yourself to avoid infection.
Most local councils keep registers of approved piercers who have passed hygiene and safety standards, and who are regularly inspected by health and safety officers.
Contact your local borough, city or county council for further information.
Do not try to carry out body piercing yourself. This can be very dangerous as there is a high risk of infection or scarring.
If you've already found a body piercing shop, take a look around before you go ahead with the piercing. Check for any potential health risks. You should be able to answer "yes" to all the questions on our safety checklist.
Nowadays, bacterial infection is the main risk associated with body piercing. Sometimes an abscess (build-up of pus) forms around the piercing site, which can become very serious if left untreated.
All professional body piercers in the UK use sterile instruments, so it's very rare to catch conditions such as hepatitis and HIV/AIDS through body piercing.
Read more about the risks of body piercing.
The skin is disinfected with an alcohol solution and allowed to dry before it is pierced using sterile piercing equipment.
Only earlobe and ear cartilage piercings can be done with a piercing gun, by either a jeweller or a professional body piercer. Refuse a piercing if the piercer intends to use a gun on any other part of the body.
All other types of piercing must be carried out using a hollow needle, which is pushed through the skin and tissue of the body part. You'll normally feel a quick, sharp sting while the skin is being pierced.
After a piercing, the area may bleed slightly and it may be tender, itchy and bruised for a few weeks.
Read more about how piercings are carried out.
Follow the specialist's advice after you've had your piercing. This will usually involve keeping the area clean and dry, as well as recognising the signs of infection.
Keeping the area dry is especially important – do not use antiseptic fluids or creams, alcohol or salt water for at least three days. If the piercing was done properly, there should be no need to use any of these at any time.
Do not touch or fiddle with the area and do not turn the piercing. If a crust develops over the piercing, do not remove it – these form naturally and are the body's way of protecting the pierced site.
Read more about caring for a body piercing.
Healing times for the most common body piercings are as follows:
Bacterial infection is the main risk associated with body piercings.
An abscess (build-up of pus) may form around the piercing site. If left untreated, this has the potential to cause a scar and may need to be surgically drained. In some cases, it may develop into blood poisoning (sepsis) or toxic shock syndrome, which can be very serious. Blood poisoning can also occur without an abscess.
Tongue piercings carry a small risk of bacterial infection, despite the high number of bacteria present inside the mouth. Nevertheless, it would be wise to brush your teeth or cleanse your mouth before asking for a tongue piercing. Bleeding from the vein under the front of the tongue can also occur if the piercing is too close to it.
Earlobe piercings are generally safe, but care must still be taken to keep the piercing clean and dry.
You can reduce your risk of developing an infection by keeping the piercing dry. Before touching the piercing, make sure you wash your hands with soap and water and dry them with a disposable towel first. However, you should try to avoid touching it if possible – there is no need to turn it.
See body piercing self-care for more information.
Viruses causing hepatitis or AIDS used to be the main risk from piercings, but now all registered premises use disposable sterile needles and other equipment, so the risk of passing on these infections should now be almost non-existent.
Other possible problems that come with body piercing are:
Any piercing that interferes with the normal functioning of the body carries a higher risk of causing problems. Specific piercings each present their own risks, for example:
After having a piercing, it is important to keep the area clean and dry.
You may be advised to gently clean the area with a saline solution. However, the piercing should be cleaned no more than is necessary to keep it clean as over-cleaning can irritate the skin and delay healing.
Using a saline solution or any other watery substance (such as alcohol solutions) involves fiddling with the piercing and getting it wet, so it's usually best to avoid using them for at least the first three days after the piercing is carried out. Keeping the piercing dry is more important.
If you have an ear or facial piercing, having baths rather than showers will help to keep the piercing dry. Lower body piercings are harder to keep dry, so it may be best to sponge-clean your body for the first three days, avoiding the pierced area.
Wash your hands with warm water and antibacterial soap and dry them with a disposable towel before touching or washing your piercing.
Ensure that any clothing and bedding that may come into contact with the area around the piercing is clean.
If your piercing becomes infected, the surrounding skin may be red and swollen. It will probably hurt when you touch it and may produce a yellow or green discharge.
If you have a fever or any of the above symptoms, see your doctor immediately. A delay in treatment can result in a serious infection.
Leave your jewellery in unless your doctor tells you to take it out. This will ensure proper drainage and may prevent a painful collection of pus (abscess) from forming.
In many cases, the infection can be treated without losing the piercing. Minor infections may be treated with antibiotic cream, and a more serious infection may need antibiotic tablets. Your doctor will be able to give you advice about which treatment is best for you.
A few days before having your piercing, visit the shop to check for any potential health risks.
Make sure you can answer "yes" to the following questions before going ahead:
If you're taking medication, have heart disease, diabetes or any other medical condition, and are in doubt about the risks of piercing, talk to your doctor.
Before carrying out a body piercing, make sure the piercer explains any complications that may arise.
You'll usually need to sign a consent form to confirm that you wish to go ahead. Children under the age of 16 may need to have a parent or guardian with them.
The skin is disinfected with an alcohol solution and allowed to dry before it's pierced. The piercing equipment must be sterile.
During an ear piercing, a hole is made through the fatty tissue of the earlobe or the cartilage at the top of the ear, and an earring is inserted.
This is often done with a disposable piercing gun, either by a jeweller or a professional body piercer. Piercing with a gun should only be carried out on the ears and not on any other part of the body (except the nose, in some cases).
Most piercing guns have sterile disposable cartridges to help ensure that the piercing is clean and sterile. If you don't want your ears to be pierced with a disposable piercing gun, you can go to a professional piercer who can pierce ears using a sterilised hollow needle.
Whichever way you choose to have your ears pierced, make sure it happens in a clean, no-smoking environment. The person carrying out the piercing should wash their hands first, disinfect the area of skin, wear surgical gloves during the process and throw them away straight after use.
If you feel at all unsure about the person who's doing the piercing or where it's being done, go somewhere else.
All other types of piercing should be carried out using a hollow needle, which is pushed through the skin and tissue of the body part being pierced. This ensures that there are clear entrance and exit holes. A piece of jewellery, usually a decorative bar or ring, is then inserted into the hole.
Some other types of piercing are discussed in more detail below.
A belly button piercing is usually made just above the navel. A curved bar is inserted through the hole and metal balls are screwed on each end. A small metal ring fastened with a clip-on ball may also be used.
Special care must be taken with a belly button piercing as this area is difficult to keep clean and dry. You'll need to wash the belly button with soap and water before the piercing. Make sure the piercer cleans the area properly first with an alcohol solution.
Afterwards, you should wear any belts well below the area until it's fully healed. Expose it to air as much as possible.
A hole is pierced through the skin or cartilage of the nostril. A nose stud is then inserted through the hole.
There are some guns that are designed especially for the soft outer parts of the nose, not the areas of cartilage (septum).
The tongue is clamped to hold it in position while it's pierced. A bar with a screw-on metal ball at each end is inserted through the hole.
The piercing is normally made through the end of the nipple. A thin metal ring or straight bar is then inserted.
When a piercing is finished, the area may bleed slightly. This should stop after a few minutes, although it may bleed again for short periods over the next few days.
There may also be some clear or whitish-yellow odourless discharge that forms a crust over the jewellery during the first few days after a piercing. This is normal and is not usually a sign of infection. Do not touch any crust that forms, as it can help protect against infection.
A new piercing can be tender, itchy and bruised for a few weeks after it is carried out.
It is important to take good care of your piercing to reduce your chances of problems developing. This involves keeping the area dry and recognising the signs of infection. See caring for a body piercing for more information.
Important: Our website provides useful information but is not a substitute for medical advice. You should always seek the advice of your doctor when making decisions about your health.
