I love these shoes! They are super cute! I bought them for my wedding as a little surprise underneath my cream dress. I ordered an 8 which I typically am but am going to return them for a 8.5. Other than that I loved them!

Super cute, but way uncomfortable. The elastic around the top digs into the back of my heel, as it is very stiff and almost sharp at its edge. Hopefully will wear in more.

These are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever tried on. It does not matter what size you get...I went up a full size to see if it would help...they are still too short/narrow in the toe box, while the rest of the shoe was too wide. I will stick with Stuart Weitzman shoes. Always comfy and true to size.

"I made this for my second grade class at the culmination of our bat week. They thought it was disgusting and they LOOOOVED it!!!"
"I always make this cake with SF jello, SF Cool Whip, and egg whites in the white cake mix. I get compliments on it constantly. Great recipe and so easy to do at the last minute because of the simple ingredients."
"I just had this at my mom's house and I can't believe how good it was!! This recipe is a keeper!"

"I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. It went very quickly at a Christmas get together and I was asked several times for the recipe (which was so simple!)"
"I needed a new chicken recipe and this fit the bill nicely. I used garlic powder and ground ginger b/c that's all I had on hand. It was graet!"
"Great recipe! I followed the recipe exactly and took them to a luncheon and everyone loved them! I will make these again!"
"The quiche itself was very tasty. However, the ingredient amounts were too much for my 9" pie crust. Had I known this, I would have doubled the bacon and cheese amounts and simply made two instead of one. I will definitely do that next time."
"This was a great change instead of the ordinary queso dip. I used three cans of black beans to stretch it out for a dinner party I attended."
"I made this for my sister-in-law who is on the South Beach diet and she loved it! I will make this again... South beach or no South Beach!"

While attending the Disaster Recovery Journal's 45th conference in San Diego recently, I was approached by a number of attendees with questions about the Business Continuity Institute. As you may know, the Business Continuity Institute (BCI) is offering educational courses and certification testing at the Disaster Recovery Journal's conference from now on. I was asked why DRII was no longer involved with the DRJ conference. I told those who asked that I didn't know exactly, but I guessed it was because DRII wanted to run its own conference. Then I was asked what I knew about BCI. Was its certification program as good as the DRII certification program? Should they be certified by the Business Continuity Institute or DRII? Should they switch their DRII certification to the BCI? Some asked, should they be certified by both organizations? I answered honestly by explaining that I have not been intimately involved in either organization since 2000.

Fabric Covered Shoe Tutorial
By: Victoria for Vixen Made
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
If you have an old pair of kids shoes lying around the house, instead of throwing them away, find material to make shoes with this Fabric Covered Shoe Tutorial from Victoria Lavertu. Take an old pair of white shoes and remodel them into a new and fashionable pair your daughter will love to wear!
- A pair of worn out shoes (works best with flats or a simple Mary Jane style shoe)
- Sturdy fabric
- Hot Glue Gun
- Ribbons, button, embellishments of your choice
- With a seam ripper, remove back shoe tabs (or any bows, etc that may be in the way).
- Place the shoes on the fabric to measure out enough to cover each shoe. Use a fabric pen or pencil to draw around shoe.
- Cut around marked areas (be sure there is plenty of fabric to completely cover shoe).
- Cut a slit from the back of the shoe to near the top of the shoe.
- Starting at the top of the shoe, along the edge, add a small line of hot glue.
- Continue along the top of shoe and around both sides.
- As you make your way to the back of the shoe, remember to pull snugly on the fabric as you glue along the bottom edge.
- Once you get to the back, glue the one flap straight up along the back seam of the shoe.
- Trim any excess, then with the second flap, trim again, but fold the piece over so there is no raw edge when you glue the flap down. Remember, you are pulling the fabric tight to avoid any bubbles or wrinkles along the shoe.
- Now trim the top loose fabric so there's about ½ to ¾ of an inch all around the top edge.
- Make ½ inch cuts all along the edge.
- Start gluing down the top edge now. Do little by little so you don't burn your fingers and you can still pull the fabric tightly along the top.
- Now you can trim off all the excess fabric along both the top and bottom edge using small scissors or an exacto knife. Repeat this same process for the other shoe.
- Now you can embellish away. Add ribbon along the bottom edge, inside top edge and on the strap. Attach it with hot glue gun.
- Fray check to any raw edges that could fray.You can also add a fabric flower to each shoe to add to the cuteness factor, since they are for little girls.

The kind that makes me ache to have the gift for dusting off clichés: not, make it new, but, see it, hear it, freshly. The context (good morrow, haven't we met in this context before?) in which, squelch, a brush lifted a load of pigment from the thick glass palette, and, concentrated, as though he saw neither the work in hand nor the subject, the painter began. —from "A Blue Shadow Painting" Other Flowers brings together 165 unseen poems from James Schuyler, one of the twentieth century's most acclaimed writers. This carefully arranged edition presents a broad range of Schuyler's work, spanning from the early 1950s until his death in 1991. These poems exhibit Schuyler's virtuosity in drawing from real life, interpersonal history, nature, and pop culture to create reverberant portraits of the everyday. To read these poems is to rediscover the fresh clarity and grandeur of even the smallest things. Other Flowers confirms Schuyler's status as one of the most important figures in contemporary poetics.

Senior White House Adviser David Axelrod told me that Howard Dean had his facts wrong when Dean suggested that Democrats kill the health care reform bill and start over.
Axelrod said Dean's "facts were wrong" when the former Vermont Governor criticized reform as a giveaway to insurance companies.
Earlier in the week, Axelrod called efforts from the left to derail reform "insane". Today in my This Week interview, Axelrod clarified that he didn't say Dean was insane, but that "it would be insane to pass on the opportunity to enact the reform that would have such a positive impact on our future."
Axelrod added that "it was probably an unfortunate choice of words."

Really nice room. Spotless, except for at little bit of vomit behind the toilet. Friendly front desk staff, but the cleaning crew was really loud in the halfway starting at 9:15.

Arrived and the staff was not so friendly. Room was pretty clean and everything went well, except when there started to be a lot of ants. Ants were crawling on the bed... When I asked the staff, they said "Sorry". Aside from the ants, it was ok. I am glad I did not spend a lot of time at the hotel...

Great! All the furniture and bedroom furnishing appeared new and/or well maintained. Great value, and for the location, it was perfect. Right next to the French Quarter, without the noise, dirtiness, and craziness of it.Review by: KTraveler

The staff was very friendly and helpful. However, I did not appreciate some of the staff smoking right by the front entrance. The room walls were very thin, even with earplugs I could hear their conversations. The elevator sometimes takes 5-10 minutes. I was shocked when the staff double-booked my room and at 2am a (rather loud, drunk & noisy) couple walked right into the room! The location was ok for what I needed, but considering the issues above, I felt the room was very overpriced. I have been to this part of downtown N.O. several times... unfortunately, what I experienced here was not too surprising. It seems N.O. in general does not particularly cater to visitors nor expect them to return again to the same hotel. I have experienced worse in N.O. so I think my average (3.0) rating is fair.Review by: Name Withheld

We arrived late (around 12:30 am) and the front desk clerk was very nice. He called for the valet to get our car while he was checking me in and the valet got there before he was finished so there was no delay at all. The hotel is perfectly located! Close to the french quarter (we walked everywhere) but far enough away so you can escape the hustle and bustle when you are ready to sleep. Harrah's is around the block too if you are in the mood to gamble. The rooms were super clean and we loved the beds...very comfortable! The hotel is in an historic building and they did a nice job with keeping it modern and clean while keeping some historic touches like the exposed brick. They have wifi in the room but we didn't need it so I can't comment on that. The only con for me was the "breakfast". Items were poorly stocked (ran out of milk, paper plates, napkins, etc. by 8 am) and the coffee was not made. Also, be prepared to pay for valet as there is no other option at the hotel. We did not investigate street parking and left our car with the valet the whole weekend as we walked. I would definitely book this hotel again!Review by: Low maintenance traveler

In the last 5 months I have stayed in 8 different hotels in New Orleans. I don't know if I got lucky at this place but this St. Christopher Best Western was the best value in all ways. The room had a great view with lots of light. I didn't book until that afternoon and arrived to check in 2 hrs later. The location is a stones throw from Canal St. It is an historical building. The thing that I like about these hotels that are not part of the so-called 'Up-Market' class like Hilton chain and Shereton etc is they don't charge for WiFI or local ph calls and offer a complimentary breakfast. The snob chains reason that the business class make up their clientele who don't pay out of their pockets anyway and their employer can afford to pay for services that Best Western, Hampton and others offer free. So, I would recommend this Saint Christopher Best Western or Hampton Inn at 226 Carondelet. as the two best places in the city. If you are looking for an extended stay with a kitchenette you can go past The Avenue Plaza Resort on Saint Charles Ave.Review by: chrisR

BUYER BEWARE!!! BEST WESTERN VALUES CORPORATIONS MORE THAN INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE. I made reservations for two rooms at the Best Western St. Christopher hotel on April 19, 2011. The reservations are from March 30 - April 3, 2012 to attend the NCAA Men's Final Four Championship games. I was notified yesterday that my reservations would not be honored due to a contract with the NCAA, who has reserved a block of rooms for the tournament. In addition, Best Western charged my credit card on September 8, 2011 in the amount of $400, which is most likely a deposit for my upcoming stay. I would like to know when the contract with the NCAA signed? Was it signed before or after I made my reservations? If the contract was signed after my reservations were made you should honor my reservations and tell the NCAA you only have X number of rooms available. If the contract was signed before my reservations were made Best Western should have contacted me ASAP so that I can make other arrangements. This is a huge event and hotel rooms are hard to come by and they go quickly. The way Best Western is handling this is not an acceptable way of conducting business with customers. It proves that Best Western values corporate relationships more than individual customers. I'm sure they are charging the NCAA a premium for blocking these rooms, more than they are making from my reservation.Review by: NJSoccerMom13

PHOENIX (AP) — Steve Nash is going to the Los Angeles Lakers, a Pacific Division rival the two-time MVP point guard tried so hard to beat, with little success, in his eight seasons with the Phoenix Suns.
At Nash's request, the Lakers and Suns reached a sign-and-trade deal, with Los Angeles using the trade exception it got when it sent Lamar Odom to Dallas to facilitate the transaction.
The 38-year-old Nash, who spent the past eight seasons with the Suns, was a free agent but a sign-and-trade agreement was necessary for the Lakers to afford him. He agreed to a ...

In its original home, near Almaty in Kazakhstan, the apple can be the size of a cherry or a grapefruit. It can be mushy or so hard it will chip teeth. It can be purple- or pink-fleshed with green, orange, or white skin. It can be sickly sweet, battery-acid sour, or taste like a banana. Preserving this biodiversity can become a massive project, in life and art.
Every apple for sale at your local supermarket is a clone. Every single Golden Delicious, for example, contains the exact same genetic material; though the original Golden Delicious tree (discovered in 1905, on a hillside in Clay County, West Virginia) is now gone, its DNA has become all but immortal, grafted onto an orchard of clones growing on five continents and producing more than two hundred billion pounds of fruit each year in the United States alone.
Embedded within this army of clones, however, is the potential for endless apple diversity. Each seed in an apple is genetically unique: like human siblings, seed sisters from the same fruit remix their source DNA into something that has never been seen before--and is likely, at least in the case of the apple, to be bitter, tough, and altogether unpalatable. The sheer variety of wild apples is astonishing: in its original home, near Almaty in Kazakhstan, the apple can be the size of a cherry or a grapefruit; it can be mushy or so hard it will chip teeth; it can be purple- or pink-fleshed with green, orange, or white skin; and it can be sickly sweet, battery-acid sour, or taste like a banana.
In Geneva, New York, these two extremes--the domesticated apple's endless monoculture and its wild diversity--can be found side-by-side. As part of the national germplasm system, America's apple archivist, Philip Forsline, has assembled and tended a vast Noah's Ark of more than 2,500 apple varieties: two clones of each, in order to preserve the fruit's genetic biodiversity. Meanwhile, on the same Cornell/USDA Agricultural Experiment Station, Susan Brown, one of the country's three commercial apple breeders, develops new clones by cultivating wildly different seed sisters.
In 2009 and 2011, artist Jessica Rath visited both the Apple Collection at the USDA's Plant Genetic Resources Unit and the Cornell apple-breeding program, creating a body of new work, currently on display at the Pasadena Museum of California Art under the title take me to the apple breeder.
Rath's original goal was to create slip cast porcelain sculptures that embodied the incredible--and now endangered--range of the apple's aesthetic potential; revealing the charms and qualities it has developed through co-evolution with humans as a reflection of our own desires and will. During her visit, however, Rath also became fascinated by the conjoined twin of Forsline's apple archive: Brown's speculative sisters and successful, selected clones, which she photographed as bare-branched trees against a white backdrop.
Intrigued by the idea of artwork that reflects on the complicated threads of selection and preservation that bind humans and apples together, we toured the exhibition with Rath. The edited transcript of our conversation, which ranges from the trickiness of Vegas Red glaze to the future of apple breeding, appears below.
Nicola Twilley: How did you come to visit the Apple Collection at the USDA's Plant Genetic Resources Unit in upstate New York?
Jessica Rath: I read about it in Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire. The first chapter is about apples, and he visits the orchard in Geneva. I read that section and I knew I needed to make work about it. I don't do that very often but that passage, where he writes about the variety of the apples and the way they look and taste... I wanted to make something as intriguing as that--I wanted to get you to feel that crazy diversity. I sat on that for years. I wanted to go there, but I had no idea how I was going to make work about it.
I just bookmarked it, and then my apricot tree died. I made a peel--an inverted mold, I guess--of this dying tree, and I made a slip cast of its one, last fruit. I've changed mediums constantly in my practice--I usually do site-specific installations or I do performance work--but I talked to some sculptor friends to find out how to create a sort of glowing, golden aura for this last apricot, and they all said slip cast porcelain. So I made it, and I looked at it and, and I thought, that's not it. That's not good enough. But it did glow. And that's what made me think I was ready to do something with the apples. I thought, if I can make them glow, then I can make this work. So that's when I raised some money on Kickstarter to be able to get there.
That was the other piece of the puzzle that fell into place. My daughter was a baby and I hadn't read anything in months, but I was on a flight and I picked up The New York Times, and there was an article about Kickstarter. I went home, I raised money on Kickstarter, and I got it about a month before the end of apple season; so I raced over to the Plant Genetic Resources Unit for a forty-eight hour visit.
I learned a lot while just scouting on the first day, from a man named William Srmack who manages the orchards and works directly with Philip Forsline, who's the curator of the collection. On the second day, I just collected apples. I brought home several hundred apples. Part of the Kickstarter money bought an extra refrigerator for the studio and I loaded it and kept it pretty cold. I took a lot of photos of the fruit on the tree, and in a light box, too.
Twilley: Let's look at the sculptures. If I understand correctly, although each pair or cluster represents a different breed, they're not casts of specific, particular apples, but rather abstracted, ideal forms--or ur-apples--that embody the breed's characteristic shape and color.

Look at a cz75b. The baby eagle and jericho are clones of the cz.
My son got a Jericho and he really likes it, I have shot it and can say it is a dam nice gun
They are pretty nice. I've fired one and it does feel "right" in your hand.
I want to be a ball turret gunner.
I got one ..a two tone 941fb compact in 9mm...great gun, feels perfect in the hand and shoots where it's pointed..I've never had a single problem and have put a couple of thousand rounds through it..My friend has the full size model and I feel sure he would fully recommend it too...Don't think you would be sorry if you got one...if you put 'jericho' into the 'search' on this forum think you'll find a few more posts from others who would recommend it..good shooting...
Those are good pistols, but CZ has excellent customer service. I had a question once and they were very nice and promptly let me speak to their gunsmith.
i have the all steel compact .40 from when magnum research had them and I would not give this one up for any other. Absolutely love it.

5 Scary, Creepy and Unsettling Things About Christmas
Christmas is the time of giving and families, but it also has a darker side.
Christmas is the time of giving and families, but it also has a darker side.
Imagine you get involved in an online Secret Santa gift exchange and your Secret Santa ends up being Bill Gates! It happened!
Santa Claus is getting ready for his annual Christmas Eve jaunt across the globe, bringing toys to all the good girls and boys.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is again helping make certain the trip is safe for the jolly old elf. NORAD is the U.S. and Canadian military combining forces to assist Santa Claus, and is tracking Santa Claus on his Christmas Eve journey across the globe.
The atmosphere was truly festive and jolly Tuesday night at The B.O.B. for the Small Business Holiday Party.
Channel 95.7's Connie and Curtis, who emceed, along with Wendy Reed and Josh Garber were on hand along with WGRD 97.9's Metalhead Ned and St. Nick himself, Santa Claus.
Meet the Holderness family: Penn, dad; Kim, mom; Lola and Penn Charles.
They live in Raleigh, N.C., and their family Christmas video is the most awesome and adorable holiday greeting I've ever seen.
I mean, it's fun to get Christmas cards from folks with carefully posed pictures of the family all dressed in red. But it's way more fun to watch that family dance around in their Christmas Jammies while singing a song about what's gone on in their year (set to the tune of Will Smith's "Miami").
Meet David Thibault.
He's a 16-year-old Canadian. And recently his inner Elvis Presley came to life with this amazing performance of The King's classic, "Blue Christmas."
So, I'm not exactly a cat lover.
I'm more into the wagging tails, pointless excitement, unending dedication and relentless pursuit of treats that a dog brings to the party.
But even I have to admit this is a pretty cute video
Single people, do you decorate for Christmas every year?
Last week, I asked: "How Much of Grand Rapids Have You Experienced?"
That was a great guide for anyone new to the area, or anyone who hasn't come to appreciate the city.
Taking advice from that blog, I ventured out and discovered the different winter faces of Rosa Pa
It may seem that airlines nickel-and-dime us to pieces, but one carrier has pretty much gone way above and beyond to prove it's got a heart the size of the North Pole.
Homer Mellen was 7 years old in 1915.
That's when he wrote this very modest letter to Santa.
It will definitely make you think about what kids are asking for this Christmas.
Trying to get into the holiday spirit? Having a hard time finding just the right song to get you there? Well, comedian Jon Lajoie has written what he calls "The Best Christmas Song", and I kind of have to agree with him. Check it out after the jump!

with Bad Company you're in good company
Like a motor car powered by rockets Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is bigger, better, faster and more explosive than its previous incarnation. The battlefield series has always been known for its online multiplayer and with the bad company series Swedish developer Dice brought a single player campaign into the mix with some success.
Bad Company is was very much a Black comedy and bad Company 2 is no different, while the core of the story is of war and strife the mood is lightened by the wonderful story, great voice acting and undeniably charming members of B-company. Little things like the incidental conversations your squad mates have with each other between during lulls in battle and even during the high octane action make all the difference but there are also several key scenes in which the squad will be more sombre and reflective preventing the characters from becoming parodies on cultural stereotypes.
If you have played the first in the series you may be left wondering how the stories are linked as it's never explained in the game, the first level you play serves both as a tutorial and a introduction to the games storyline, taking place during world war 2 you play one of a group of US commandos sent in to extract a Japanese scientist. The mission doesn't go as planned however and that's when the story picks up with the B-company members serving on the Sarge's last tour of duty on a simple support mission inside Russian territory. Needless to say things quickly become more convoluted and you and the rest of the Bad Company will find yourselves in many a tight spot before the end of the campaign.
The single player portion of the game can be completed in around 7-8 hours and during that time you will find yourself in many diverse environments, from the aforementioned snowy mountains to the lush jungles of Bolivia and even a trip out into the desert, even though it is relatively short the game does offers a little replay value in the form of collectible weapons and destructible M-Com stations.
Destruction doesn't stop there however, with Dice's Destruction 2.0 engine under the covers almost everything in the game can be destroyed, while an explosive charge can be used to demolish an entire building gunfire is also able to chip away at the environment, this adds a whole new dimension to the gameplay as both you and the enemy soldiers will constantly have to keep on the move too keep yourself behind cover as the environment changes. This destruction system also affords you a new way to navigate the battlefield for example when your team is pinned down in heavy fire you can blow a hole in a nearby building effectively creating a new path that allows you to flank your attackers.
Of course like any battlefield game, online the game is at its finest pitting 24 players against each other in either teams of 12 or squads of 4, the game has a collection of great game modes from the objective based attack and defend rush games that take place on huge maps right down to the squad death match which pitches 4 teams of 4 against each other on smaller maps.
The game features 4 brilliantly balanced classes and a reward system that unlocks different kit options the more you play, though the reward system does take a little more perseverance than other games in the genre it provides great incentive to continue playing and as the scoring system is set up so that playing as part of the team will help you build your score faster.
The maps for the online modes are the highlight however, it's apparent that great time was spent in balancing them just right as none of the maps is so unfair that it is impossible for one side to win and for every advantageous spot one team has there is a counter spot available to their adversaries.
As of day one however there have been a few problems with the servers and connectivity to the matches has been affected so I would definitely recommend you check around the forums before you buy the game if you plan to play online and are on the fence about picking this up.
The games graphics are beautiful online and off, weapons are rendered realistically and characters, buildings and vehicles all look great. The lighting and particle effects in the game are impressive, from the night time maps with muzzle flash from gunfire lighting the trees to the desert map which is open and vast but rolling sand storms limit your view, each has been done to perfection helping to build immersive environments to play in.
The sound in the game is as good as it gets from the haunting classical score of the first mission to the high tempo drums as the action heats up, effects wise the gunfire, explosions and enemy chatter all blend together nicely. When an explosive round detonates near your position the sound warps and becomes muffled for a short time before returning to normal and the environment makes an impact too for instance in the more open levels the sound will reverberate from everywhere, where as in the dense forest the sounds are more muted.
The game isn't without its problems though in the story mode some of the set pieces feel a little underwhelming especially one of the later ones in the desert which looks like it was rushed into the game. Enemy soldiers have a habit of standing in the open and waiting to get shot while at other times they will attempt to flank your position and keep you pinned down with heavy fire and the inconsistency can really pull you out of the game especially if you have retried the same difficult area several times only too finally make it because the enemy stopped trying. Graphics wise the game has a few blurry textures and odd things can happen when the environment starts getting destroyed like a car that explodes and then dances around though these are rare occurrences.
If you're looking for a shooter that has depth, great offline play and competitive squad based online shooting action then Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is definitely the game for you, if you want to play as a lone wolf the game certainly doesn't punish you for that but you may have a more difficult time and you might want to consider a rental first.

Hi guys. I have a judgment on my credit report that I paid one month after it was entered (fall 2010). Two of the credit bureaus had it reported as satisfied, but one didn't. I just disputed the status with the third bureau and a rep said they would look into it, but now I'm wondering if I did the wrong thing. Since it's been so long on the judgment, was it having less of an effect on my credit score? And will updating it to paid on the third report cause my score to fall because I'm updating essentially what's negative information? Thanks for your help.
Not really sure about a judgment.
What is being reported now? Is there a date reported?
It's scheduled to come off the report in 8/15...

The basic reporting date of the judgment cannot change, they can show a current date in the "verified on" field but this will not cause a drop in score. If these judgements are paid I suggest filing a motion to vacate it with the court that granted it based on the grounds that it has been paid. If this is granted they are wiped off the CR all together.

Playtime helps kids develop real-world skills, such as sharing and being able to distinguish which portions of the floor are made of lava. Let the good times flow with this Groupon.
$32 for One Month of Classes (Up to $114 Value)
This deal includes one month of Gymboree Play & Learn, music, art, sports, or school-skills classes and the $40 initiation fee. Gymboree classes challenge infants to 5-year-olds with fun problem-solving games, and multimedia art and music lessons nurture creativity as parents play along. Additionally, Groupon holders who spend $50 in the Gymboree clothing store receive a $25 credit. This offer may not be combined with a free-preview promotion taken within 60 days.
Though Gymboree Play & Music sometimes offers a discounted price online, this Groupon is still the best deal available.
Gymboree Play & Music
In 1976, busy California mother Joan Barnes wanted nothing more than to find a play place where she and her kids could enjoy age-appropriate, educational activities. Finding none, she developed her own innovative play environment within a developmental-based program structure now known as Gymboree Play & Music. Today, kids tumble and learn in locations around the world, engaging in open play and classes designed to build cognitive and motor skills. As parents participate in their child's development, their child learns to paint, play music, and interact socially outside of preschool knitting circles.
We do a play and learn class as well as Art. Both are fantastic. The art class is amazing! 2 projects come home every class. Really cool!Gloria W., Yelp, 1/1/12

"This item was a waste and really frustrated me. After 4 days it totally stopped tracking my steps all together. There are hardly any useful instructions on how to use the watch and no way of resetting it that I know of. Furthermore it does not accurately track your calories burned during exercises like cardio kickboxing. There is no online support for this item either so if you have any questions, good luck."

Right this problem started the first day back of the new academic year and is starting to get annoying as all attempts to resolve this have failed.
The school DHCP server is running 2003 R2 with service pack 1 and has never given us any problems at all. The same server is also set up as one of the DNS servers for the site.
Over the summer all workstations had XP SP3 installed, I held off for as long as possible whilst it was being tested on the network. Also over the summer we had a managed wireless network installed using Cisco hardware.
One the first day back it was staff laptops that started to get an ip address conflict error when logging on to the domain using wireless connectivity.
We thought this was down to the fact that our Cisco Ap's were given DHCP addresses, these were all changed to static addresses but did not resolve the issue.
Later in the week it started to affect workstations in the ICT Suites, so the theory of the wireless causing the issues has been thrown out the window.
A script was written to release the assigned ip address and restart the workstation to resolve the issue but this only works for a day when the laptop logs on the following day the ip address conflict message appears again.
We have also changed the ip address range used for distribution and bizarrely this has not fixed the issue as some of the clients are still connecting with their old dhcp addresses assigned last week. However I think this maybe down to the fact that the lease for last weeks addresses expires on Wednesday, so the clients should pick up an address from the new distributed range then.
The only thing I can think of now is that the DHCP database is corrupt as thats the only possible cause of the problems.
I would really appreciate some advice on this as its driving me nuts and I have almost gone through all the possible causes of the problem and nothing has resolved the issue.

Renal papillary necrosis
Renal papillary necrosis
Renal papillary necrosis is a disorder of the kidneys in which all or part of the renal papillae die. The renal papillae are the areas where the openings of the collecting ducts enter the kidney, and where the urine flows into the ureters.
Alternative Names
Necrosis - renal papillae; Renal medullary necrosis
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Renal papillary necrosis usually occurs with analgesic nephropathy. However, a number of other conditions can cause it, including:
- Diabetic nephropathy
- Kidney infection (pyelonephritis)
- Kidney transplant rejection
- Sickle cell anemia
- Urinary tract blockage
Sickle cell anemia is a common cause of renal papillary necrosis in children.
Tissue death (necrosis) of the renal papillae may make the kidney unable to concentrate the urine. Symptoms may include:
- Back pain or flank pain
- Bloody urine
- Cloudy urine
- Dark, rust-colored, or brown urine
- Tissue pieces in the urine
Other symptoms that may ocur with this disease:
- Chills
- Fever
- Painful urination
- Urinary frequency or urgency
- Urinary hesitancy
- Urinary incontinence
- Urinating large amounts
- Urinating often at night
Signs and tests
The area over the affected kidney (in the flank) may feel tender during an exam. There may be a history of urinary tract infections. There may be signs of obstructive uropathy or kidney failure.
A urinalysis may show infection or dead tissue in the urine.
An intravenous pyelogram (IVP) may show a blockage or tissue in the renal pelvis or ureter.
There is no specific treatment for renal papillary necrosis. Treatment depends on the cause. For example, if analgesic nephropathy is the cause, your doctor will recommend that you stop using the medicine that is causing it. This may allow the kidney to heal over time.
Expectations (prognosis)
How well a person does depends on what is causing the condition. If the cause can be controlled, the condition may go away on its own. In some cases, persons with this condition develop kidney failure and will need dialysis or a kidney transplant.
- Acute kidney failure
- Acute bilateral obstructive uropathy
- Acute unilateral obstructive uropathy
- Chronic bilateral obstructive uropathy
- Chronic kidney disease
- Chronic or recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI)
- Chronic unilateral obstructive uropathy
- Hyperkalemia
- Hypovolemia
- Metabolic acidosis
Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
- You have bloody urine
- You develop other symptoms of renal papillary necrosis, especially after taking over-the-counter pain medications
Controlling diabetes or sickle cell anemia may reduce your risk. To prevent renal papillary necrosis from analgesic nephropathy, be careful when using medications, including over-the-counter pain relievers.
