Is there really going to be a 24 movie? Actor Kiefer Sutherland is planning on it. If there is going to be one, production will begin sometime this coming April or May.
According to Criminal Complex, the actor confirmed his plans to beging filming the 24 movie during the Television Critics Association winter tour where he was promoting, Touch.
What's that, you ask? 24 movie aside, the project should give Kiefer even more cause to be excited. He'll be working on the brand new series called Touch for creator Tim Kring and the Fox network. Touch will offer the actor a touch of the supernatural. Kiefer will star in the series that examines his character's life after losing his wife during the 9/11 attacks. His son, Jake, is both autistic and mute, and also a savant when it comes to numbers. He seems to have the gift of predicting the future. Danny Glover co-stars as an expert on such special children.
Kiefer has told TV Line that the similarity in his 24 character and his Touch character is that neither man can win the broad war, so to speak. They can win little battles along the way, but Martin, as the father of an autistic child, can't find some magic cure. He's got to be in it for the long haul. The 24 actor also called his new series quite emotional.
We will also see Kiefer in the much anticipated Melancholia, starring Kristen Dunst.
So, what more can we tell you about the big 24 film? Kiefer believes it'll be pretty much a "direct continuation", following after the events of the series finale. Probably, in fact, no more than about 6 months will have passed at the opening of the film for the character Jack Bauer. When we learn more, you will, too!

I've had color glaze put in my hair on a semi-monthly basis for the past four months. I only wash my hair every three days, so it still has some color in it when I go to get it refreshed. This is great, except, will it ever fully wash out and my natural color return?
I want to keep the red color for the winter season but in summer I want my brunette tresses back. Is there any way that this semi-permanent color has become permanent?

Alison McFarlane, the festival's executive director, said: "It was a fantastically engaging performance.
"Nigel Kennedy really wooed the audience. He received three standing ovations for a truly remarkable performance which demonstrated his range, versatility and skill."

Filmmakers Need To Get Debt Free
Most independent filmmakers want to save money but feel too strapped to take action. This is because each month is filled with bills and other unexpected expenses.

Oli Thompson Set To Fight Ivan Pioneer
Big Oli Thompson is set to return to the cage and will be looking for redemption. The guy standing in the opposite corner will be Ivan Pioneer.A heavyweight clash set to shake the foundations of the cage has been set up by Gary Bond and will be going down on the 10th of November at Ultimate Conflict 3 at the G Live in Guildford.
On a fight card set to include the likes of Tolly Plested , Julez Loftus, Charlie Langdon, The King brothers Louis and Tommy and a whole host of others it's going to be an explosive night of action in Guildford.
With regards to the fight, Oli Thompson had this to say:
I am just looking forward to returning to action, I had such bad luck with many personal problems before my last fight in the UFC, it's not something I have ever had to deal with before and I don't think I could have beaten anybody on that given night.
So moving on, I just want to redeem myself, and get myself back where I should be, which has been building up towards November 10th at CSMMA against Ivan Pioneer. My confidence is high again and expect some very big fights in the near future.
After smashing his way through the big names on the UK HW circuit Oli had a couple of disappointing losses at the world's biggest promotion the UFC. Oli will be looking to get back to his aggressive best and force his way through to another term with the mighty UFC and it looks like Ultimate Conflict will open those doors.
It's going to be a cracking night of fights so make sure not to miss out and grab your tickets here:
CSMMA 3 - 10th November - G-Live Centre - Guildford. Standard Tickets now Sold Out - VIP's Sold Out - 20 Stage Tickets remaining and some of the £40 Tiered Seat still available - book online now to avoid disappointment.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8

In Response To: Re: Sugar cravings (Brandan Thomas (O))
When looking on the label of the jams and jellies be sure that if they are sweetend with natural juice concentrates that they are not the ones not on the list. I have been a total out of control carbo freak! Didn't even realize it until I started this. I have not had a single craving of any description since I stayed totally on the Highly Beneficial list. It is a little challenging. Very soon I will add the neutral catagory in. I just wanted to see if my cravings would cease, and they have. One other thing. Collard greens are the highest anything (dairy included) in calcium. Your probably good there! I've got a question. The only choices ofEzekial bread that my market carries are the Sesame, Cinnamon Raisin and Sprouted Grain. I bought the Sprouted grain. Is that o.k.? Even thought it also has sprouted lentils? Thanks a lot for your help!

Today is officially the first day of the rest of my life. I am finally free of the cubicle and all the crap that goes along with it. I no longer have to be the "tech" guy that everyone comes to for problems and stupid questions.
The above quote is from a post I wrote a year ago entitled A New Journey Starts Today. It was officially the first day of my new life after leaving my cubicle job. Well guess what? It's been a year since that happened!
I can't believe a year has come and gone. When I first quit my job, my main goal was to make it a year without having to get another job. All I wanted to do was work for myself for a year without having to commute, sit in a cubicle, or answer to a boss. Luckily, I managed to do just that. I learned a lot along the way and wanted to put together a list of some of the things I've learned from a year of self-employment.
1. Hard Work: You Can't Escape It
When a lot of people make the jump to working for themselves, they often assume they will be able to work less and set their own hours. While this can be true to some extent, it's not likely going to happen this way. Instead, I've learned that hard work is necessary to build a successful company (or career). I've easily worked more than twenty 75 hour+ weeks since I quit my job.
Heck, I often work more than 12 hours a day. It's one of the sacrifices I made in making the move to working for myself. However, the hours you put in are much different from clocking 12 hours at your day job. Working for yourself means you can take breaks when you want, work on the projects you want, and work when you want. That's why I often split my work up and do some throughout the day and some at night.
Plus the work I do is fun so it doesn't really feel like work to me. It feels more like playing video games did back in high school. You don't even realize the time is flying right by.
2. Trial And Error Is Necessary
While spending all that time working, I've noticed that some things work well while others fail miserably. If everything worked the way we wanted it to, I probably would have retired already. But things fail and this is where we learn a lot about business, as well as ourselves.
So don't be afraid of trail and error. It's not as simple as finding a book with all the directions in it because not everything works for everyone. You need to find the things that work for you. Once you do, take baby steps to scale them to be much larger. This is where you will start to see success.
3. Sleep Will Be Lost
With working long hours and failing constantly, you will no doubt lose sleep. I often find it hard to sleep when I can't get something off my mind. I even wrote a post about my unplanned experiment with sleep deprivation, where I ended up staying awake for more than a day straight.
The good news is since you can set your own work hours, you can easily catch up on sleep by giving yourself the enjoyment of sleeping in.
4. Sacrifices Will Be Made
Regardless if you plan on it or not, you will eventually make some sacrifices when working for yourself. It might be as simple as skipping an event with a friend to catch up on work or saying no to something you really want to buy. It's just part of life and anything worth having requires some sacrifices.
As I mentioned above, one of the sacrifices I made was working far more than I used to. I also sold my car and got rid of a lot of things I no longer used. These things made it easier for me to make it a year without any problems.
5. Money Isn't Everything
A lot of people go into business to make money. While obviously this is one of the goals of a company, it should not be the only one. What you should be focused on is proving some sort of value, making a difference, or creating something unique. The goals will lead you to the money you were hoping for.
However, working for myself quickly made me realize how unimportant money is. Yes we need it to survive, but that's it. Other than food/water, clothes, and a place to sleep, we really don't NEED much else. Instead, we WANT everything we see on TV. The key is to use your money wisely.
Do you absolutely love watching television? If so, then go grab a badass TV. But if you're only buying the TV to have a bigger one than your neighbor, think twice before you get it. If you're like me, you're happy with a 23 inch screen and some rabbit ears. It's important to decide what you want in life and then focus your money on it.
Neil Patel over at Quicksprout summed it up perfectly in this quote:
So what has all of this taught me? It is easier to save money than it is to make it. You can't always control how much money you make, but what you can control is what you spend your money on."
6. Benefits Are Nice, But You Can Live Without Them
One of the things that everyone pointed out to me was "if you quit your job, you will lose your benefits!" I think other people were worried more than I was. It was probably due to that fact that I was just out of college and barely had benefits prior to landing my first two office jobs. So I knew what it was like to not have them.
But the truth is, benefits are overrated. This is coming from someone without a family so I'm sure things would be different if I had a family to support. When you're young and single, you don't really need benefits. As soon as I quit my job a year ago, I grabbed a health insurance plan online for less than 90 bucks a month. 6 Months later, I ended up cutting that plan down to a 60 dollar plan that covers me in case of an emergency. Guess what? I haven't used my plan in over 12 months.
If it's retirement you are worried about, you can also setup a retirement plan for yourself. This can provide a nice tax break since you can put some of your income into a retirement account.
The key is to do your research prior to quitting your job. Learn as much as you can about your current benefits and see what you can get on your own. This will make the transition a lot easier for you.
7. Bookkeeping And Taxes Suck
One thing I cannot stand doing is the books. I hate accounting and always have. Taxes are a whole other ballgame. When you go into business for yourself, these are some of the things you will have to learn about. You don't need to know everything, but the more you learn the easier it will be to meet with an accountant.
I've slowly been learning more as I go and I'm finally to the point where I have a good understanding of how things work. However, when I just started I wanted to pull my hair out.
You can check out my podcast on bookkeeping and tax tips for bloggers and freelancers for some useful tips.
8. Office Politics Are Shit
If you've been here before, you've probably read my post about hating office politics. I used to hate everything about them. The gossip, the power tripping, and the alliances that employees make. It used to drive me absolutely insane. Even the whole idea of "climbing the ladder" made me want to cry.
After spending an entire year as far away from an office as possible, I can tell you one thing: office politics sucks. I don't miss them one bit and I really hope I can continue to work from my home rather than an office.
9. You Will Learn (A Lot)
Of all the things I've mentioned so far, nothing has been more enjoyable than learning. It's absolutely amazing how many things I have learned over the course of one year. I can easily predict that I've learned at least 5 (maybe 10) times as much as I did from high school and college combined. I've learned valuable things about business, life, and everything in-between.
If anything, I recommend trying out self-employment for the learning experience. It forces you to quickly adapt to what's happening around you. I think one of the reasons it works so well is because you don't have a lot of people around to ask questions. If you need to figure something out, you find a way to make it happen (the best saying ever). Whether it's from reading online or visiting the public library (a lifesaver), the answers are always out there.
10. Freedom Is What Matters
Last but not least is freedom. Freedom is the one thing that made me want to work for myself, as well as build an online business. Why? Because I love to travel and be anywhere at any time. I also enjoy moving fairly often, which might be happening fairly soon.
Having a normal job makes it difficult to live the digital nomad lifestyle because you always have to be at work. Yes you can take vacation but you only get so much time a year. Instead, I decided it would be far more beneficial to create a career that can move around with me.
So the most important thing anyone can have is freedom. The ability to do what you want whenever you want. This is far more important money. People with high-paying jobs have plenty of money, but they don't necessarily have freedom.
It Was A Great Year
Overall, it was the best year of my life. Not only was it fun and rewarding, but it was also challenging and difficult. I learned a lot and have been making progress since the first day I started. I can only hope that this upcoming year can be just as fun and rewarding. So far, it has been just that.

The term "Off-Lease" refers to a product that has been leased to, and used by, a customer, then returned to the leasing agent at the end of the lease period (typically 2 to 3 years). The leasing agent, or their third-party partner, inspects, repairs (if necessary), cleans, re-packages, and then offers the product for sale as "Off-Lease". Although we only purchase and sell the highest grade off-lease products some items will show signs of use, including minor scratches, slight wear on keyboards, etc. Purchasing off lease product saves you money, creates less waste and saves the resources that would be required to produce new products. If saving money and resources is important to you and you are not concerned with minor wear you should consider purchasing off-lease. Off lease products carry limited warranties through the original leasing agent or their third party refurbisher. See below for warranty details.

(Undated) -- Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel is being slapped with a 25-million-dollar sexual harassment suit in Florida. Samantha Schacher claims Manziel has been sending her naked selfies, including one with his privates in a hotdog bun. She also accuses him of receiving illegal gifts while at Texas A&M and taking steroids. Manziel's agent says the suit is a joke and obviously fake.

The preferred method for Venezuelan kidnappers involves driving victims around while families get the ransom together.
CARACAS, Venezuela — Driving home one recent evening from a meeting in an affluent neighborhood of Caracas, a Venezuelan businessman was intercepted by two identically colored SUVs.
Eight men carrying guns emerged, ordered him out of his car and bundled him into one of the 4x4s.
The businessman, who requested anonymity for fear of being identified, would spend the next eight hours lying in the back of the car with a gun held to his head and his white shirt stained with blood from his broken nose. Meanwhile the men were negotiating a ransom with his family.
The businessman was victim of a "secuestro express" or express kidnapping, a growing phenomenon in this South American nation, which now records more kidnappings than Colombia or Mexico. Experts say these types of kidnappings are defined as operations that last less than 48 hours and involve smaller ransoms than long-term kidnappings.
"The experience of being kidnapped and of having your freedom taken away while someone discusses how much your life is worth is very troubling," the businessman said. "In an instant you are reduced to a piece of meat."
The secuestro express originated in Mexico City where armed robbers would march victims to ATMs and force them to withdraw their savings. It has become the preferred method for criminals in Venezuela who now drive their victims around the city while the family scrambles to put the ransom money together.
Kidnappers typically settle for ransoms of about $25,000, a relatively small amount compared to long-term kidnappings, which can fetch ransoms of up to $2 million, said Roberto Briceno Leon, a sociologist and director of the Venezuelan Observatory of Violence. But Venezuelan kidnappers prefer the secuestro express because it implies less risk and less investment.
"[A long-term kidnapping] requires having a person hidden in a place, you need to have a budget for food, you need to have someone guarding them all the time and it gives the police time to react and find them too," Briceno Leon said.
It's easier and more profitable to charge a family less money, which can be raised overnight, he said. But that means that kidnappers are back out on the street stalking victims sooner and more often.
Organized gangs such as "The Invisibles" and "The Invincibles" are believed to steal cars to carry out express kidnappings. Many are divided into subsections that carry out different stages of the operation, from abducting the victim, to guarding him or negotiating the ransom.
The CICPC, Venezuela's equivalent of the FBI, captured seven members of "The Invisibles" last August. Those arrested are believed to be responsible for at least 30 kidnappings in Caracas in the last two years.

Given Chang's baking skills, it's no surprise that anything involving flour is particularly delicious here: shatteringly crisp egg rolls; scallion pancakes that are fluffy rather than greasy; supremely silky dan dan noodles. Other classic dishes are also rescued from their usual forlorn treatment; for the first time, for example, I understood why oyster omelets are actually a good idea.

My great grandmother's maiden name was Lawhead or most likely Laughead. Lawhead is one way to phonetically spell the name and it is how I see the name spelled most often, especially in written records like censuses. If you know anything about teaching children to read, as I do, the Open Court reading program (which we use in my school district) has a card for the /aw/ sound. It's called the Hawk card and it gives two spellings for /aw/: aw and au. There have been a few occasions where I have seen the name spelled Laughead which leads me to believe that Laughead is the proper spelling of the name. I can also easily picture semi-literate people spelling Laughead as the more phonetic Lawhead. Some instances of the name being spelled Laughead are on my grandmother's birth certificate and my Great Uncle Jim's middle name.
A quick search on the internet has provided virtually no meanings or crests for the name Lawhead/Laughead. It is actually quite funny when landing on the meaningofnames.com website, they have posted "the meaning of Laughead has not been submitted". So what's a girl to do? I have deduced that Laughead is probably related to the Irish Loughead or the Scottish Lochhead and left it at that for present.
I lose the trail of this family pretty early in the 1800s. The last Laughead I have is Joseph, my grandmother Gladys's great grandfather. According to census records, he was born about 1817 in Pennsylvania. In 1838, he makes his first appearance in written records on his marriage certificate in Belmont County, Ohio. Coincidently, the surname is spelled Laughead. There are several other Laugheads and Lawheads living in this region of Ohio at that time as well. I seem to keep circling around them trying to figure out how they all fit together.
On the 1850 census, Joseph, Cassandria and their 5 children are living in Seneca, Guernsey County, Ohio. Enumerated with the household is an older woman named Basheba Lawhead. She is aged 60 and was also born in Pennsylvania. Because of her age, I have always gone under the assumption that Basheba is possibly Joseph's mother. I have yet to find any evidence of this, either way.
Joseph and his family moved further west and settled in Greene County, Indiana for a time. Along the way, another family of Lawheads always seems to be around. This family had a son Elijah G. Laughead who was about the same age as my James Henry Lawhead. In 1860, both young men are working as farm hands for the family of William McNabb. Elijah eventually marries Mr. McNabb's neice, Mariah. And many years later, one of Elijah's daughters marries James Henry's oldest son. I have always felt that there is a familial relationship between Elijah and James beyond being in-laws, perhaps they were first cousins. And just to let you know, Elijah's name is spelled Laughead on his gravestone.
Joseph and Cassandria end up eventually in Knox County, Indiana. Joseph seems to have died in 1883, and Cassandria in 1903. I have searched the 1880 census to no avail to find them, and likewise, the 1900 census for Cassandria. I have had better luck tracing Cassandria's family back another generation or two. James Henry divorced his first wife in the late 1860s in Greene County, Indiana, married a second time and moved to Crawford County, Illinois where my great grandmother Emma was born in 1872.
Letter transcription:
Dear Mother,
There must be some mixup because I wrote to you at the same time and also Dr. Matthews but put them all in separate envelopes. At least I hope I didn't put yours in with Dr. Matthews.
Guess you haven't as yet got my letter about the Flight Course-so I'm not looking for any rooms here at least until I hear if I'm refused the course-Which I don't think I will be unless they have an age limit which I couldn't find out about.
We have had a couple spurts of rain this P.M. but not enough to do any good only makes it more "sticky".
Guess I won't be able to get my leave now before next week. There are so many gone that the force is too small at least that is what Dr. Harris told me. I'm afraid I might get orders to Fla. before the leave-But will just have to wait I guess.
Mrs. E. got a letter from Dorothy yesterday. She has never mentioned about the gift you folks said you left here for her.
I finally have gotten all my laundry from the base. They have made different arrangements and
(page 2) now hope to get the laundry out in one week. We'll see I took in a bunch after June 30. So if it don't doesn't take too long I'll still send them over there.
Hope you got the letter with the money orders in it. If not let me know because I still have the receipt. That was why I sent a money order instead of a check.
What did Cliff S. say about the bills and who did you give him.
Mrs. Simmins (?) tablets are Subilin of U.S. Standard. She might try Desicol, Bilron or Ketcocol. Art has all of those in stock. She probably would have to take 2 three times each day in the beginning then cut them down.
Well, maybe I'll get your reaction to the new Flight school one of these days-
Love Daddy

Enigma 2600
Type: Maker Table/Exhibit
Program Area:
Day/Time: Saturday, April 22
Location: To be determined
Last year I was overcome by nostalgia, and decided to try to learn how to program the old Atari 2600 video game. Whenever you choose to learn to program in a new language or a new machine, you need a reasonable project to serve as motivation, and for some bizarre reason decided to do a project related to one of my other interests: cryptography. The result: an implementation of the German 3 rotor enigma machine that runs on the Atari 2600. I even took the opportunity to repurpose an old Super Breakout cartridge, removed its ROM, and created a real cartridge that plays in the actual hardware.I'll be around to answer questions about the development process, show how you can edit and assemble code for the 2600, run it using the Stella emulator, and then also demonstrate the EPROM burner that I bought. I can also chat with interested individuals about cryptography and cryptanalysis, and will bring some of the books that I have about codes and Enigma for people to browse over.

ACS Service Levels
Unparalleled Service, Ultimate Luxury
Many aircraft operators claim 'high service levels' or 'many brand new aircraft,' but the reality is they have a fixed number of private jets that they can offer. Although all of the aircraft meet standards set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), this does not hide the fact that some aircraft are older than others and have tired interiors.
ACS does not manage or operate aircrafts on behalf of our clients. This means that we are a service provider. We are judged on the last private jet charter we arranged.
If our clients do not receive an unparalleled level of service, or the ultimate luxury jet if requested, then we will quickly go out of business.

- ACS can offer the most competitive air charter quotations.
- ACS can offer the largest number of aircraft that have passed our own high level of aircraft standard.
- ACS carefully scrutinizes all aircraft that use we. This can include physically visiting an aircraft.
ACS has contracts in place with numerous US and global operators ensuring not only that ACS prices are competitive, but that all of the 50,000 plus aircraft available to Air Charter Service are of an acceptable standard. Aircraft that are offered to clients who demand a higher level of luxury attract closer scrutiny and have often been inspected by ACS.
Once we receive your enquiry...
- Our Account Managers are both fully trained and knowledgeable about the numbers, types and costs of available private jets and other aircraft. Senior managers can even offer insight into the details of individual aircraft.
- That knowledge is further added to by our extensive domestic and international network of offices.
- Our account managers are encouraged to visit individual aircraft to ensure high standards are kept consistent.
- Advanced systems and databases allow ACS to find the right aircraft in record time.

After only being used 10 or 12 times, in a two year period, it would not start. Ignition coil had to be replaced, which would cost more than I paid for the trimmer. Called the 800# number for repairs. Told it was out of warrenty, nothing could be done. Looks like it just came out of the box and it has to be trashed. How does it go, "fool me once, same on you, etc." Never will happen twice to me. Craftsman bad!

Used it about 10 times over a 1-year period and the motor seized. I sent it in for repairs and they blamed me for the problem. I still have my Ryobi Hedge Trimmer which is 15-years old and operating, along with other gas powered equipment that are old and still running. I resented being told that I created the problem. The problem is with the Hedge Trimmer not my use of it. When it was working this was the best hedge trimmer I ever used. It absolutely worked fantastic. Unfortunately after a 1-year period of use Sears does not back it up. They'd repair it for the price of a new one. I told them to send me back the old one without repairs. Now I'll have to find a manufacturer that has something comparable that backs up their product. "Sears Doesn't"

Replaced an electric hedge trimmer. No more extension cords and took about a third the time. No problem cutting through any of my shrubs. Like the adjustable handle great for cutting different angles of the shrubs. No problem with exhaust like some of the other reviews. Very east to start. Loved how easy it was to cut all my shrubs and made them look better than they have ever looked.

Pertinent Insights On Surgical Decompression For Common Peroneal Nerve Entrapment
The combination of these two anatomical factors makes this nerve especially susceptible to entrapment. An example of this is how frequently this nerve becomes injured with an inversion ankle sprain.9 The patient may complain of "ankle" pain for months after the injury and it is difficult for the practitioner to look proximally to this level for the diagnostic answer. The common peroneal (fibular) nerve has two terminal branches: the deep peroneal (fibular) nerve and the superficial peroneal (fibular) nerve. The deep peroneal (fibular) nerve provides the muscular innervation for the extensor hallucis longus tendon, the tibialis anterior tendon and the extensor digitorum longus tendon. The superficial peroneal (fibular) nerve innervates the peroneus longus (fibular) nerve and the peroneus (fibular) brevis nerve.
The common peroneal nerve and its two terminal branches provide for a large surface area of skin neurosensory sensation with a corresponding large area on the cortical map. This can prove difficult when a portion or all of this nerve distribution is denervated by either injury or surgery.
What You Should Know About Diagnosing Nerve Entrapment
Diagnosis of entrapment of the common peroneal (fibular) nerve is very easy for the experienced practitioner but the inexperienced doctor with little lower extremity peripheral nerve experience and awareness almost never recognizes the diagnosis.
This should not be the case as there are three simple things that even the inexperienced provider, from the standpoint of peripheral nerve surgery, can use to be virtually assured that an accurate and timely diagnosis has occurred. First, complete a thorough history of the present illness. Second, perform specific motor strength testing. Finally, consider the presence of a local provocation/and or Tinel's sign at this known site of entrapment.10,11
One can perform additional diagnostic testing with nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and the Pressure Specified Sensory Device (PSSD, Sensory Management Services), or via measurement of galvanic skin response.12-14
As with any additional testing modality, the astute practitioner knows that these tests do not make a diagnosis but help augment the diagnosis with expert clinical examination. These tests also give a measure of the level of nerve involvement, which can serve a baseline for future evaluation after interventional treatment. The PSSD and galvanic skin response exams are non-painful tests, and one can use them postoperatively to evaluate nerve response after intervention. In my clinical experience, the electrodiagnostic testing has been falsely negative up to 50 percent of the time.
The history of present illness is very important as it gives the provider a wealth of information, which can sometimes mean the difference between a successful outcome and even saving a patient's life.
While it sounds extreme, the history of a sudden drop foot in a young otherwise healthy patient with no metabolic disease and without a recent history of trauma gleaned from the interview must make the most experienced practitioner extremely wary of the probability that a central nervous system lesion exists. If there is no provocation sign at the fibular neck, send the patient immediately for a neurological consultation, which includes spine and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs). This can save a patient's life.
Most symptoms of common peroneal (fibular) nerve entrapment are slow in their onset, even in patients with a history of a severe ankle sprain. Symptoms appear in middle age or later, and are often associated with an underlying metabolic disease such as diabetes, pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome or other metabolic diseases.

Paralyzed and Pregnant!
by Jamie Goodwin
Holy Rollin' - Jamie's Blog
I have so many people (mainly women) that want to know the skinny on what it is like to be paralyzed and pregnant. Well, here ya go – I'm not beating around the bush here because I want you to know what it is really like. Who knows, there might be a reader out there who is in my same situation and has lots of questions. When I was pregnant with my oldest (7 years ago) I certainly had lots of questions, however there wasn't much info out there with answers. I did a lot of research on doctors in my area, but it wasn't until I lived through my first pregnancy, did I know what it was truly about. So, here is the low-down. Please don't hesitate to ask me questions. I know God has allowed me to go through this to not only have amazing children and a great story, but to educate as well.
- It's tough. Now, I have NO CLUE what it is like to be able bodied and pregnant, but I do know that it is difficult for me. I also know that each woman is different and goes through their pregnancy differently. Some have more problems than others. So, when you read this, please know I am ONLY speaking from what I have been through.
- Getting pregnant. I'm sure my mom or mother-in-law will not want to read this part, however I know you all have questions. Thank the Lord I am married to an AMAZING man who loves me no matter what. He really, really is a gift to me. This is what I often tell people who ask me about getting pregnant – It's great because I can't feel having the baby (side note: and neither can most of you because you get an epidural), but I can't feel making the baby either! Yep ladies, I'm paralyzed and it's not selective on what I can and cannot feel. However, I can still feel kisses and they are better than sex any day! Can I get an amen!!
- Not much physical rest. Like I said before, I KNOW all pregnant women have issues, however I feel very limited as far as resting my body goes. See, when an able bodied woman needs to rest, or just get off her feet, she can sit down, and if she needs more rest she can even lie down. I, however, can only lie down. I only have one other way to rest my body. I stay in the SAME position from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. all day. I don't get any rest from this position. So, when I lay down at night, it is like heaven…of course, until Will starts to snore
- Can I feel the baby move? Yes! I actually love being able to feel him move and am very grateful for those big kicks and stretches. Now, I can't feel every movement, just the really big ones or ones where I put my hand on my belly. My paralysis affects my whole stomach area, so I have no feeling, however if the movement is big enough, I can feel a little sensation in that area. From what I hear from most moms you pretty much feel every movement the baby make and it keeps you up at night. I can't feel that much movement…just every now and then.
- Things that make me nervous. Putting my wheelchair together. I have to bend way over to put my wheels on my chair and it makes me nervous that I am somehow smashing the baby. So, I always try to have help when I am going places. Ean has even learned how to put the wheels on so I don't have to do it. He is such a helper! I also get nervous about doing transfers in and out of the car or onto the bed. I'm sure this baby feels like he is on a roller coaster half of the time because I have to do so many big movements to get in and out of my chair. I know he is ok, but I still get a little worried thinking about possibly hurting him.
- One thing that really bothers me. When people tell me I don't look pregnant. People say that is a compliment, but to a mom who wishes she could stand up and look like a normal pregnant mom, it is NOT a compliment. I know my belly is a lot bigger than usual so it makes me think that people think I look like this all the time! I realize that sitting down makes it look more decieving, but please don't tell me I don't look pregnant. I am very much so and getting bigger and bigger every day!
- Dr. visits. My doctor is great. He has delivered both of my boys and will most likely be there for my last baby. However, as cool and amazing as my doctor's office is (one of the doctors is an avid collector of many sought after and rare objects and they are displayed throughout the office), it is not very accessible. So, Will has to go with me to EVERY Dr. visit. He has to pick me up and put me on the table. He is my hero and I love that he comes with me to every visit. It means so much to me.
- Labor and delivery. The one question I am asked the most is about delivering the baby. Most people assume that I have to have a C-section, but that is not the case. With my first baby, the Dr. wanted to use suction, but I asked the nurse to ask Dr. Windom if I could try pushing, and he said YES! I have been induced a week early with both boys and will be with this one. My Dr. does not want to chance me going into labor and possibly not feel it. However, I think I would definetely know if something was going on! Also, I am even given an epidural to control my blood pressure and muscle spasms. I can't feel them giving me the epidural so that is a positive! I'm hooked up to all the monitors and can even tell when I am having a contraction. It is amazing that I am paralyzed and get an epidural and can STILL tell you when I'm having a contraction! That's double the dose of non-feeling and still being able to tell. That just goes to say God was not kidding around when he said women would have pains in childbirth! With Ean I got to push for 45 minutes before he was born and Spencer dediced to make his debut in the normal Spencer way and so I didn't have to push any with him. The nurse was frantic that she would have to deliver him if my Dr. didn't get there in time! So, needless to say, I have had two very wonderful experiences in the delivery room and I can't wait to do it again! Seriously, it is one of the most amazing moments of my and Will's life and we love that God has blessed us with our children. I think it is absolutely incredible that a paralyzed woman can have children! I can't thank God enough for allowing me to do this 3 times!!!

Update 2014 – This post was published over 2 years ago – and that's a long time in seo. Google has since released aggressive spam algorithms to deal with some of the practices I discuss in this post. making some of my complaints less relevant in 2015. The subject of this post (at the time) annoyed me that much I put a cost on my own seo audit (which focuses on only the most important ranking factors). I also created this free seo audit tool for beginners to seo, so they can quickly give their own site a 'free' audit. If you are interested in learning about seo, your best bet is to start with my how to do seo guide, my link building strategies primer or my unnatural links advice, which is more up to date.
I sat in a meeting recently when a 'newish' client – showed me a free "seo audit" for the website I have been employed to promote for the last few months.
Apparently, it failed, just about everything.
It failed W3C validation tests. It's H1-H6 elements weren't optimised properly. Download speeds could be optimised. Some pages titles like the 'About" page needed optimised more. Apparently I wasn't hitting the correct keyword density on every page. Apparently I didn't have the correct amount of text on every page. No Xml sitemap. No sitemap. Apparently also my meta descriptions weren't optimised for click throughs. I hadn't even went through the 200 pages and emphasised text in bold and italics.
In short – client site failed this seo audit.
Of course – a seo salesman doesn't come around to your offices in the middle of nowhere to tell you your site is fantastic and you dont need him. All it takes is 1 hour and an seo audit and a seo salesman to make an ignorant client a bit nervous about what's actually going on.
The person who ran the seo audit actually didn't detect the last 4 months work that's been done to improve rankings across the board – including making the website rank for the most valuable single-keyword term ( with 33,100 exact match searches a month – one of the top 250 transactional terms we have identified we need visibility on) to number 4 in Google – from a start position of nowhere in the top 100 results.
It will be tough to get to number 1 even with this legitimate site as there is at least 2 websites aggressively spamming search engines with assured stellar results. This one keyword captured – ranking progress illustrated below – is actually this month's top performing keyword though.
I'm lucky the types of clients I have trust us to know what's important.
A seo campaign goes something like this at Hobo. You pay us £XXX a month or employ us for 6 months or a year and we'll do the above – i.e. improve the visibility of your site in the top trafficked keywords results pages – to lots of keywords in your niche. How much you spend with us will determine how many hours in the studio you get. We'll get your site on the top ten listings for as many of the most valuable keyterms in your niche if it is at all possible within that budget. How competitive your niche is – and how hard the competition is spending – will determine how long it will take to win battles for top rankings on money terms.
The only thing we can promise is we will work hard and try to make your site accessible, relevant, trusted and 'popular'.
Immediately after we've carried out keyword research, we'll ADDRESS THE MOST IMPORTANT ON-PAGE ELEMENTS FIRST and we'll start to get links to the site – as it is LINKS THAT MAKES RELEVANT PAGES RANK in competitive verticals.
Every site is different – every campaign start-focus is slightly different. We'll follow search engine guidelines as closely as possible to ensure any improvements will be long-term.
For me the most important on-site aspects are PAGE TITLES – especially if they are terrible to begin with – (but often I might leave them till later – if they are relevant and reasonably well formed), visible and unique ON PAGE TEXT CONTENT & INTERNAL Links.
I don't do keyword metatags – I dont bold keywords unless it seems natural – I don't do H1 headers WHILE there are page titles to ponder or links to get. I dont do H2 + H3 – I wont make the site valid html at this point either – because even if it IS a small benefit to seo – this importance pales in comparison to getting some quality links – and I have tested both sides of the story etc – etc etc – I dont go near that stuff until I am sure the important stuff I highlighted above is rolling and the client is seeing keyword rankings improve and then traffic and conversions up.
Sure, there's a time to look at minutiae, but it's rarley this early in a campaign for me.
With over over a decade experience doing this sort of thing, if someone needs me to get a site ranking for certain keywords in a VERY competitive niche – gives me £1000 budget – @10 hours work – I am NOT going to spend those ten hours making a site pass a validator test or some fancy online seo tool – or it will be a short contract indeed.
I am NOT going to make sure each page is keyword stuffed in H1,H2,H3H4,H5,H6 tags.
If I saw anybody in the Hobo studio spending time working out the keyword density of a page I would be disappointed to say the least.
I am NOT going to spend the rest of those hours making a site download a second faster. I am NOT going to go through pages making the odd keyword BOLD.
In short – I am not going to waste a clients budget – especially at a time in the contract when the client is expecting to see some rankings changes. I am going to focus on the important stuff and the important pages.
A SEO who sits and wades through a site ticking all of these GRANULAR 'seo factors' is fooling themselves they are doing a days SEO work – or that these subtle changes will have a massive impact in a competitive SERP.
They might well be working hard – but ask yourself – what's more important – a proper H2 tag or a link from another REAL website? I know what I would take. Why would I EVER waste time thinking of H2 tags or other minutiae if my job is to rank for an ultra competitive term or long tail variations of it when I know a link is better? Why twaek an H2 when I could publish a new post targeting a slightly different keyphrase?
I like to use my time better.
Some SEO may win business with a 5 minute seo audit and then proceed to make that websites seo 'score' perfect. Most of the tools available these days offer some sort of on page seo analysis – no doubt to give the perceived value of added benefit of paying their monthly fees) – and then the seo proceeds to make the site get a 100% score based on that audit.
The seo can then can say to a client – hey – look at your score! We have optimised your site! We have done what we said we would – this is industry best standards! Now pay up.
Problem is of course with an approach like this – the client's primary keyword is often still on page 6 of that competitive serp.
WHY? Because the competition isn't wasting time on the minutiae you have been slogging away on. And Google isn't using the same seo score your seo is.
The type of seo who uses such tactics have probably fooled themselves into thinking they are working hard – or that the seo they are doing is "legitimate seo' – and it suits search engines themselves to encourage this philosophy and encourage people to build a better site rather than spam their search engine. Do anything – just dont build links.
SEO deployed in this manner in a competitive niche is akin to putting a go-faster stripe on a ferrari to make it, ummm, go faster.
While you are bolding your keywords your competition is linkbuilding their way – and sometimes outright spamming their way – into top positions in search engines. Some seo know this – some don't.
Not all seo tools are crap. But most seem to report back on lots of near-pointless stuff – JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN. It makes these types of tools 'more valuable'…. they do 'more stuff'.
Ask for INDEPENDENT proof why optimising H1 tags will make a page rank higher. Ask for documented proof why you should bold your keywords. Ask for documented proof why having valid HTML will outrank invalid pages ranking top in Google today. Ask just why a 300 word article outranks a page with 3 words on it – or in some cases – doesn't. Ask why those competitors are ranking above you and what search engines are doing about it.
If you are in a competitive niche – ask where your primary keyterm will be in Google after you take an already reasonably optimised site and make all these seo tweaks which could suck the life out of an entire budget…. and see if your seo's guess in six months is anywhere near accurate.
Google apparently uses over 200 factors to rank a page, each dialed slightly differently every day, to keep the search engine results an enigma to crack.
If I had a choice of being told those two hundred factors or have ONE SLIGHTLY KEYWORD STUFFED PAGE and the right 199 links…… I would take the latter every day.
SEO auditing as part of an ongoing campaign, focusing on the important aspects of SEO, with BUDGET in mind, that recommends the most cost effective course of action, to get the most reward quickest, is invaluable.
Beware of free seo audits – most can be run off in 5 minutes using or SEO Powersuite or SEOmoz – (which aren't total crap it's fair to say – SEOMOZ at least discriminates against important and less important factors).
What I AM saying is lots of seo tools will get you focusing on elements of your pages when your time is probably better spent getting some decent links to your site – some local quality links for a start – or just adding more pages of actual text content to your site.
If your site isn't performing in Google or Bing – try some keyword research, followed by optimising your page titles and internal links based on this and then beef these pages out with a little more relevant content – all the while – adding NEW content – and then try and get some links to your site.
I stepped back from blogging in 2011 to concentrate on work – but it would take a sh*tload of tweets to pump this out……
All the best for 2012. :)

Ryan Seacrest Comments On Nicki Minaj &. Mariah Carey Leaked Video [AUDIO]
Ryan Seacrest commented on the Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey American Idol feud during his radio show, On Air With Ryan Seacrest. "It was heated, it did go too far, to the point where the producers said, with just a few more contestants left, 'Let's call it a day.'"
Would Mariah Carey Come Back for Another Season of Idol? [AUDIO]
He discussed that each judge comes with a different, important perspective. "Nicki's got a specific perspective about what's playing and hot on the charts right now. Mariah has got that iconic experience and legend status." Although they had a feisty feud, Ryan has faith they will be able to cordially work together on the panel.
'Idol' Alum Colton Dixon Thinks New Judge Nicki Minaj Would Intimidate Him
The contestant who was auditioning when the feud began was only in the room for about one minute. Ryan explained that when the feel "became intense" an executive producer walked the contestant out and presented her with a golden ticket to Hollywood. The contestants who were not judged yesterday due to the day being cut short, will audition today! Listen below to hear Ryan's interview:

SCOTUS issues ruling overturning AZ immigration law and affirming Citizens United for MT state officials
June 26, 2012
By: Joshua Meyer-Gutbrod and Katy Farrell
(courtesy of our sister site Judgepedia)
Washington D.C.: On Monday, June 25, the Supreme Court of the United States reconvened to issue rulings in a number of major cases including a challenge to Citizens United and a challenge to a controversial Arizona immigration law. The court upheld Citizens United while overturning most of the Arizona immigration law. The court also issued a number of other orders, which can be found here.
Arizona law overturned
The court overturned a majority of the controversial Arizona immigration law, S. B. 1070. The court affirmed in part and overturned in part the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In the 5-3 ruling penned by Justice Kennedy the court overturned portions of the law including the authorization of police to arrest immigrants without warrant, the criminalization of immigrants failing to carry paperwork and the punishment of employers who hire illegal immigrants without checking for paperwork. The court found that Federal law preempted all the provisions of the state law that were being challenge baring the most controversial which it upheld pending state action. The remaining law requires that police officers check citizenship status of individuals they detain. The court felt that, while the law could be unconstitutional, more case law should occur at the state level to clarify the law before it can be judged. Scalia, Thomas and Alito dissented from the ruling arguing that the decision encroached on Arizona's sovereignty, stating in the dissent, "If securing its territory in this fashion is not within the power of Arizona, we should cease referring to it as a sovereign state." The majority included Kennedy, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Justice Stephen Breyer, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Justice Elena Kagan recused herself due to her involvement as Solicitor General in defending the case in its early stages.[1][2]

Citizens United applied to State candidates
In a very short opinion, the court overturned a Montana Supreme Court ruling which held that Citizens United did not apply to Montana state elected officials. The 5-4 decision held that the Montana law that limited corporate campaign contributions violated the corporations right to free speech, upholding their ruling at the federal level. Justice Stephen Breyer dissented alongside Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Justice Elena Kagan arguing that the court should have paid more heed to Justice Stevens' original dissent in the Citizens United case.[3]
Healthcare ruling
The court announced that we can expect a ruling on the Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act on Thursday at 10am EST.

'Problematic Internet usage' more common than asthma
Studies examining the effect of media on youth in the U.S. find a correlation between over-usage and depression, sleep issues, obesity, and poor school performance.
Two recently published studies out of Seattle Children's Research Institute indicate that certain levels of media usage can lead to depression in college students as well as disrupt sleep patterns in preschool children.
Not exactly earth-shattering.
Perhaps more surprisingly, the researchers found in the first study that out of the 224 college students who took the Internet Addiction Test, only 9 of them (4 percent) scored in the "occasional problem" or "addicted" range.
To put what sounds like a small number in perspective, the researchers say that Internet over-usage is now more prevalent than asthma.
"Pediatricians and parents continue to report overuse of the Internet in their patients and children," says Dr. Dimitri Christakis of the research institute. "Given the Internet is woven into the fabric of the lives of this generation of children, concerns about the potential for addiction are warranted and today's college students are clearly at risk."
In the second study of more than 600 children aged three to five years, which was led by Dr. Michelle Garrison, sleep problems (including trouble falling asleep, nightmares, waking throughout the night, and daytime sleepiness) increased for every hour a child was exposed to violent media content or evening media. (Daytime viewing of nonviolent content did not appear to lead to an increase in sleep problems.)
"Early childhood sleep disruption has been associated with obesity, behavior problems, and poor school performance," Garrison says. "We advise parents to choose nonviolent media content, and to avoid media screen-time entirely during the hour before bed. Removing televisions and other media devices from the child's bedroom can be an important first step."
Growing up in a house with one television set that we were allowed to watch for one hour a week, the notion of having had a screen in my actual bedroom is downright bizarre. I had books.
But that was the oh-so-distant era of the 1980s. With highly-portable laptops, cell phones, and tablets laying about, removing screens from kids' bedrooms, at least at bedtime, may today be a goal that needs setting--even if that screen is being used to, ahem, read.
