A knee X-ray is a safe and painless test that uses a small amount of radiation to take a picture of a person's knee. During the examination, an X-ray machine sends a beam of radiation through the knee, and an image is recorded on a computer or special film. This image shows parts of the bones of the knee, including the femur (the bone above the knee), the tibia and fibula (the lower leg bones), the patella (kneecap), and the soft tissues.
The X-ray image is black and white. Dense body parts that block the passage of the X-ray beam through the body, such as bones, appear white on the X-ray image. Softer body tissues, such as muscles, allow the X-ray beams to pass through them and appear darker.
X-rays are performed by an X-ray technician in the radiology department of a hospital, a freestanding radiology center, or a health care provider's office. Three different pictures are usually taken of the knee: from the front (anteroposterior view or AP), from the side (lateral view), and one of the kneecap when the knee is bent (sunrise view).
A knee X-ray can help find the causes of common signs and symptoms such as pain, tenderness, swelling, or deformity of the knee. It can detect broken bones or a dislocated joint. After a broken bone has been set, the image can help determine whether the bone is in proper alignment and whether it has healed properly.
If knee surgery is required, an X-ray may be taken to plan for the surgery and assess the results of the operation. Also, a knee X-ray can help to diagnose later stages of infection, as well as cysts, tumors, or other diseases in the bone.
A knee X-ray doesn't require any special preparation. Your child may be asked to remove some clothing, jewelry, or any metal objects that might interfere with the image.
If your daughter is pregnant, it is important to tell the X-ray technician or her doctor. X-rays are usually avoided during pregnancy because there's a small chance the radiation may harm the developing baby. But if the X-ray is necessary, precautions can be taken to protect the fetus.
Although the procedure may take about 10 minutes, actual exposure to radiation is usually less than a few seconds.
Your child will be asked to enter a special room that will most likely contain a table and a large X-ray machine hanging from the ceiling or wall. Parents are usually able to accompany their child to provide reassurance. If you stay in the room while the X-ray is being done, you'll be asked to wear a lead apron to protect certain parts of your body. Your child's reproductive organs will also be protected with a lead shield.
The technician or radiologist will position your child (on the table or standing), then step behind a wall or into an adjoining room to operate the machine. Three X-rays are usually taken (from the front, side, and with the knee bent to get a good picture of the kneecap), so the technician will reposition the leg for each X-ray. Rarely, another view or two might be needed. Occasionally doctors request an X-ray of the opposite knee as well, for comparison.
Older children will be asked to stay still for a couple of seconds while the X-ray is taken; infants may require gentle restraint. Keeping the knee still is important to prevent blurring of the X-ray image.
If your child is in the hospital and can't easily be brought to the radiology department, a portable X-ray machine can be brought to the bedside. Portable X-rays are sometimes used in emergency departments, intensive care units (ICUs), and operating rooms.
Your child won't feel anything as the X-rays are taken. The X-ray room may feel cool due to air conditioning used to maintain the equipment.
The positions required for the X-rays may feel uncomfortable, but they need to be held for only a few seconds. If your child has an injury and can't stay in the required position, the technician might be able to find another position that's easier on your child. Babies often cry in the X-ray room, especially if they're restrained, but this won't interfere with the procedure.
After the X-rays are taken, you and your child will be asked to wait a few minutes while the images are processed. If they are blurred or unclear, the X-rays may need to be redone.
The X-rays will be looked at by a radiologist (a doctor who is specially trained in reading and interpreting X-ray images). The radiologist will send a report to your doctor, who will discuss the results with you and explain what they mean.
In an emergency, the results of an X-ray can be available quickly. Otherwise, results are usually ready in 1-2 days. In most cases, results can't be given directly to the patient or family at the time of the test.
In general, X-rays are very safe. Although there's some risk to the body with any exposure to radiation, the amount of radiation used in a knee X-ray is small and not considered dangerous. It's important to know that radiologists use the minimum amount of radiation required to get the best results.
Developing babies are more sensitive to radiation and are at greater risk for harm, so if your daughter is pregnant, make sure to inform her doctor and the X-ray technician.
You can help your child prepare for a knee X-ray by explaining the test in simple terms before the procedure. It may help to explain that getting an X-ray is like posing for a picture.
You can describe the room and the equipment that will be used, and reassure your child that you'll be right there for support. For older kids, be sure to explain the importance of staying still while the X-ray is taken so it won't have to be repeated.
If you have questions about why the knee X-ray is needed, speak with your doctor. You can also talk to the X-ray technician before the procedure.

Deputies serving arrest warrant exchange gunfire late Wednesday
Houston — The Houston Chronicle is reporting; Harris County sheriff's deputies serving an arrest warrant exchanged gunfire late Wednesday with residents at a home in southeast Houston, authorities said.
No injuries from the gunfire were reported, officials said. The deputies surrounded the home in the 9900 block of Easthaven about 9:30 p.m. and spotted an AK-47 style rifle through a window.
One deputy knocked on a door and said they had an arrest warrant. A woman inside the house said she was armed and prepared to fire at them, Harris County Sheriff's Department officials said.

is it done
"Once the words had been spoken a terrible roar pierced through our souls, we grew weak and tired, burning flesh and metallic objects appeared in the room and it became dark even though the room was lit with candles. Then it happened, they started to scream, their eyes turned black, huge bloody sores started to grew on their bodies and then they fell to the floor, dead. It has once again accepted our offerings and gifted us with longer lives, only the worthy shall live."

Now finally all maps are done! There are only two things that remains. The coding of the final map. Then I will replay the map a few times to check for bugs (got some people helping me out here). After this I will release it :). This CS took almost twice as long than I had anticipated. But now that I'm pretty much done I'm quite happy with the result :).
Pretty much, I'm having a problem with a few script connected to the ending but once those are finished I will release it.
I am tracking this as well and can't wait til release!
Thank you :) I really want to get this out as soon as possible.
I graduate in one week and after that I'll have a few weeks of free time to finish this. About 95% is done I think.
Because it's a work in progress :P It's not done yet.
Thanks you :) This one will be a huge improvement from my first CS!

Wigan Could Suffer For Not Signing Simpson
Danny Simpson still has a role to play before his Newcastle United contract ends in the summer. He has made 131 appearances for Newcastle since joining from Manchester United in August 2009.
Wigan made a £850,000 bid for Simpson last month, but the proposed deal fell through after Newcastle demanded a fee in excess of £1m for the Salford-born player.
And looking back, the extra £250,000 or so it would have taken to sign Simpson, could haunt Wigan if they are relegated this campaign.
Alan Pardew: "Danny's available.
"I have to say that Danny wants to show people he's a Premier League player.
"So Danny's in the frame, yes. He will have a role to play. He's a paid player at this football club – he's a professional player.
"I expect him, when I call upon him, to do his absolute best for me. I don't doubt that he will. I have no doubts."

Diversinet Receives FIPS 140-2 Security Validation, Marking First MHealth Platform To Reach This Milestone
MobiSecure Platform Enables Healthcare Organizations to Address Trend Toward More Stringent Security Standards
TORONTO, Oct. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Diversinet Corp. (TSXV: DIV) (OTCQB: DVNTF), a leader in secure mobile health that "Powers Care Coordination through Mobility," has been awarded Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 validation by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for its MobiSecure ® technology.
This certification validates the security technology underpinning the company's MobiSecure mobile health platform. The milestone marks Diversinet's mHealth platform as the first with built-in FIPS 140-2-grade security. FIPS 140-2 specifications exceed HIPAA requirements.
NIST has validated Diversinet's Java cryptographic module and Java Crypto Module for Mobile under FIPS 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules - a rigorous testing program administered by NIST and the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC).
The FIPS 140-2 validation, a recognized North American standard for proper use of encryption, is required for use in U.S. and Canadian government communications systems to protect sensitive data. Thus, Diversinet customers can be confident in having state-of-the-art security while taking full advantage of the Diversinet mHealth platform and solutions, which enhance communications, care coordination and outcomes while reducing costs. The important third-party endorsement puts Diversinet ahead of the pack as government efforts to protect personal health information are building with greater adoption of mHealth solutions. For example, in a recent movement toward higher security standards, in September, the HIT Policy Committee, which advises the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, called for requiring multi-factor authentication for applications involving remote access to patient information. If approved, this requirement will take effect in 2015 with Stage 3 of the HITECH Act's meaningful use incentive program. "FIPS 140-2 validation of our technology is a milestone not only for Diversinet but also for the mobile health industry," said Dr. Hon Pak, Diversinet CEO. "Healthcare organizations that use Diversinet-powered mHealth solutions to promote care coordination are future-proofing the mobility and security elements of their applications." Pak added: "The FIPS seal of approval demonstrates how Diversinet is leading the trend toward greater exchange and protection of personal health information, fueled by increasing smartphone and tablet usage and popularity of bring-your-own-device, or BYOD, policies. Multi-factor authentication is one of several advanced features embedded in our platform to safeguard patient information at rest and in transit. Other security measures we provide include a patented encryption technique to prevent cloning and double encryption to thwart phishing."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Soundgarden make first TV appearance in 13 years on Conan
Soundgarden made their first television appearance in 13 years Tuesday night on Conan, and having been a fan since the "Black Hole Sun" video invited itself into my life via MTV and melted my pre-adolescent mind, I'm happy to report that they can still kill it.
They played two songs. "Black Rain," which aired on the show, is their "new" single from the retrospective LP Telephantasm. Though, if the song sounds too vintage Soundgarden to your ears to have been written in 2010, that's because it is. It's actually an unreleased song from the Badmotorfinger sessions.
They also performed their very first single from 1987, "Hunted Down," which can be seen exclusively on Conan's website, though I've graciously embedded both videos for you below.
Aside from their appearance on Conan, they've only played a handful of mostly low-key performances since reuniting earlier this year. Here's to hoping for a proper L.A. show or a tour ASAP.
Kanye West vs. George W. Bush: The saga continues (on the Today Show)
Kanye West famously said "George Bush doesn't care about black people" during a charity television special in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, responding to perceived failures in the government response to the disaster.
Former President George W. Bush returned to the public spotlight recently as he promotes his new biography, "Decision Points." He sat down for interviews with NBC's Matt Lauer, where he said that Kanye West implying that he was a racist was the lowest moment of his presidency. West responded in his own interview with Matt Lauer.
West said that he empathized with Bush after being called a racist himself when he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and said that Beyonce should have won the Best Female Video award instead. However, West got upset when NBC played the clip during the interview while West was talking about Bush.
Former President George W. Bush speaks for 1st time since leaving office
Former President George W. Bush spoke with NBC's Matt Lauer in an interview that aired on NBC last night. It's Bush's first one-on-one TV interview since leaving office.
The interview included two separate sessions, one recorded in the church where he started Bible study and married his wife Laura Bush. It was recorded last month, before the midterm elections.
You can watch the interview below, including Web extras such as Bush talking about almost losing Vice President Cheney's friendship for not pardoning "Scooter" Libby:
Some of the notable points from the interview:
- Bush talks about going to the hospital with his mother after she had a miscarriage and seeing the fetus in a jar. Bush said he put that story in to show the trust his mother had for him, but Lauer also pressed him on how this led him to develop a pro-life view.
- When Bush asked Dick Cheney to be his vice president, Cheney said that he has health issues and also told Bush that his daughter Mary is gay. Bush said that Cheney was testing Bush's tolerance. Bush said that choosing Cheney was a "very good" decision.
- On September 11, 2001, Bush had given the order to shoot down any plane that didn't respond, and when United 93 went down, Bush was initially worried that it had been shot down due to that order before receiving word that this wasn't the case.
- Cheney offered to let Bush run with a different vice president when running for re-election, but Bush rejected Cheney's offer and ultimately kept him on.
- Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld offered his resignation twice after the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, but Bush didn't think there was someone else ready to step into that position.
- Bush said that the worst moment of his presidency was when rapper Kanye West said he didn't care about black people in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. While he cited this as the worst moment, he said that the worst period in his presidency was the summer of 2006, when he thought for the first time that the war in Iraq might be lost.
- Bush said that he still has a sickening feeling when he thinks about weapons of mass destruction not being found in Iraq.
- Bush defended the TARP program. He said that he had been told there would likely be a depression if he didn't do something, and that he had to abandon his free market values to save the free market system.
- He reiterated that he wouldn't criticize President Barack Obama. Bush said that he doesn't think it's good for the presidency for a former president to be opining about his successor. "President Obama's got plenty of critics, and I'm not gonna be one."
Jimmy Kimmel announces 'National Unfriend Day' for Facebook
On last night's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Jimmy Kimmel presented the idea of National Unfriend Day. He said that he thinks Facebook is cheapening the concept of friendship. "A friend is someone you have a special relationship with."
As opposed to Facebook friendship. "I mean, remember five years ago when no one was on Facebook and you didn't know what the guy you took high school biology with was having for lunch? Remember how that was... fine? Let's go back to that."
William Shatner appeared in a faux PSA, shaking his head. "Hello, I'm William Shatner. These people on Facebook... they're not your friends. That's all." Kimmel made clear afterward that Shatner is not his friend.
Personally, I'm always complaining that I'm following too many people on Twitter and can't decide who to unfollow. I think I'm going to take Kimmel up on his offer and trim both some friends and some folks on Twitter that I follow from my life.
San Diego Comic-Con 2011 ticket system fails, nerds outraged
The moment had finally arrived. Tickets for Comic-Con 2011 were scheduled to go on sale this morning at 9 a.m. The floodgates opened, and then... well, not so much. The ticket system apparently couldn't handle the massive amount of traffic of the eager masses (myself included) and left fans across the Internet looking at spinning icons letting them know that they weren't getting their tickets anytime soon. Twitter exploded in geek rage.
Eventually, the servers for the registration system wouldn't even pretend to load anymore. Comic-Con posted a notice to check back on November 8, not to register, but for an announcement of when the new registration date would be. They also posted the following message:
We are really sorry for the problems with registration today. We do not know what the technical issues are, so we have temporarily closed registration.
We will announce on Monday, November 8th, the new date and time that registration will reopen. This down-time will allow us to determine and address the issues.
Only a handful of badges were actually sold today.
Thank you for your patience, and again, we all are truly sorry for this inconvenience.

Well who the heck am I?
I am Roy, this is me...
Sorry that is one of my most gayest photos ever. Not that I am saying there is anything wrong with being gay, my mum is gay (no joke).
Anyway (side tracked) I am a stupid student lame-O, which love a hell of a lot of strange things, nothing really normal, well it is normal just everyone else is weird!
So the best way to describe myself is to let you know the things I like...So here goes...
Video Games
Animating (doing it myself)
Making Music
Intellectual Debates
Building anything from visually too geeky
Watching episodes of series
Films.....Love Films can not stress enough on films!
Working behind a bar and in a kitchen (weirdly enough)
Talking about my piercings (there is not that many actually, only three)
Video Editing all of that stuff like CGI
Making people laugh, laughter is great, and I try my hardest to make a joke
Females, I love females, all females do not care, most men are horrible
and probably some other stuff but can not remember right now.
I started going on IRC destructoid because of one of my friends, then I had the pleasure of meeting some great people down at the London Eurogamer Expo 09, now I actually know what destructoid is (and not just the one on IRC).
With regards to video games, I hate them!!!!
or not really, I love video games, especcially the classics I used to play when I was growing up on my sega mega drive, the first every Gameboy, PS 1 and my old old old Windows for Working groups PC that ran on DoS and windows had to be booted from DoS. So I had a few DoS games as well, but anyway like I was saying, Games are just great, there relaxing more than anything, unless they do not work...of course! I would say I am very open when it comes to games, I will give any game a go, despite having a PS3 at the moment. Even know I have found to be a bit bias when its squeals or re-makes of games I played as a child, good example of that is Final Fantasy, I would probably really enjoy them, but because of a bad experience I had as a child, It has put me off!
Anyway, that is enough about me, I do not know if I will write any bloggs, or do anything much on the website, but I may attempt and quickly be shot down.
I am always on skype so add me and I'll chat royston.malcomber

Wie Gehts!!!!!!
on 08.24.2011
I have come back from gamescom, and me being me, I sat next to Pew and asked do you mind If I do a blog post about the event. He said in his beautiful voice sure....I dont see why not. This was good and bad, good because Pew is amazing, bad because I have to actually try and write. I swore I would never write again after my studies had finished, damn how silly was I.
What was I doing in Germany:
Except form being a complete pervert which I can vouch for, I was with the Destructoid EU Team covering the gamescom event, I did this last year as well. You may not of herd of me because I am the camera man and video editor. About 6 months before gamescom I was asked if I would like to go back and cover the event for this year, on behalf of Destructoid, I felt privileged so I agreed.
I also did the trailer / intro video for the team going to the event
Highlights of the Event
I met
This is me next to Gabe Newell, shortly after shooting the interview with Daniel Carneiro. I just got hold of the camera and looked at him with puppy dog eyes and said, Sorry for being a complete fan boy, but can I have a photo he smiled and said Dont worry I was exactly the same when I met Miyamoto for the first time
Also on my week long adventure I went along with a few other from destructoid to a Party held by wargamer.net where they have a massive night club and free drinks XD. Getting later in the evening most of my fellow destructoiders left and it was just me and Sean (Justice) left.
We stayed at the night club until 4:40am and got back to our rooms for about 5:00am. Completely forgetting that I would have to be up at 8:00am to get showered and eat just so I could be in a healthy state for interviewing more people at the gamescom event.
Oily Kylie!!
On the plane to Germany, me, Sean (Justice) and Ian (Shakey) played what I called Oily Kylie. Actually the game was called Street Fighter the Movie, but I kept playing with Kylie and she was very oily.........maybe I should reword that sentence.
The best part about Gamecom was meeting everybody again and meeting new people. Im quite young for Destructoid only 3 years ish old but I have already been welcomed into a family and already feel like I am showing the newbies the ropes. Three years ago I turned up to Eurogamer with my handy cam camera and filmed some footage, if you had told me that in three years time I would be filming for Destructoid, meeting amazing people and interviewing not only the creators of my favourite games but the man behind Half Life and Left 4 Dead, I would of told you that I am a programmer and dont give two F**ks about video.
Not only has Destructoid given me a wealth of friends and family but also has helped me decided what to do with my life, and for that I will always be grateful.

10 games I would like to have remade
on 02.19.2010
10. Dead ball Zone
I would love for this game to be remade with higher quality textures and great new features. This was one of my first games for the PS1, and boy did I love it. I hated conventional football games, they didnt interest me in the slightest, but playing DBA using chainsaws and funky new technology goals and balls was great. I would love for this game to be remade, would make my day.
9. Commander Keen
Strictly the first one because it was an epic DOS game, the lovable kid with his pogo stick fighting on mars, what could be better. Apogee really kept me playing this for a very long time, if I wasnt playing Jill of the Jungle I was defiantly on this game. Even though steam released the original and I am all up for originals I defiantly believe you could improve with graphics and technology, providing its still side scrolling.
8. GTA: London
This crazy and extremely stereotypical game was amazing, which is why it makes number 8, the corny lines like Now youre brown bread just made it worthwhile. If there was some way to use the new GTAIV engine and remake GTA: London, then I would be happy. But not unless it keeps the crazy stereotypical game it always was, and not keep having to load the original game first.
7. Tekken Tag Tournamen
One of the best Tekken games to date, choosing two of your favourite characters and playing against another two. It was fantastic using super combo moves and then hitting R1/L1 and your current character would fly off the screen and your second character would be there to bust out another combo. This game with the new character and the shiny new graphics would be extremely popular.
6. Paper Boy
This is defiantly due at least a comeback if not then just a remake of the original. This epic game I own on the Sega Mega Drive, made me spend lots of hours away from light. Just trying to get the end of the street without some twat on a skateboard running you down and you replying with let me see ya hang ten was an extreme achievement. I think to remaking this game could include a great set of new features, except it would have to be called Paper Person for some anti-sexism reason.
5. Mortal Kombat (The first one)
Unfortunately I never got to play this at the arcade, something to do with the fact I was 4, but who cares, I did have it for my Sega Mega Drive. I loved every minute of it; I was always Scorpion and spent hours trying to get the Finish Him/Her move at the end. Even though I know that there is no way of justifying making a 2d game with 7 characters, but none the less I would love to hear that amazing music and the muffled Fight.
This is a bit of a silly one, something to do with the fact Im running out of games and top 9 games doesnt sound right, so here we go. I would like to see PONG in HD full 1080, maybe make the ball nice and shiny, and great sound effects, I will salute anyone who makes this now.
3. Pokémon Yellow
Although the franchise is still strong, to this day Pokémon yellow has been my favourite, and I would like to see it with some DS power. Just the original Pokémon, I think 151 of them. Great fun game that also got me detention in school for playing in a religious education lesson. So super charging it would make me happy as well, even making a PC version with realistic graphics would make my day. Plus naming your character Penis brings a whole new level to the game, but Im sure you have all done it.
2. Apocalypse
A Game featuring Bruce Willis and its not Die Hard has got to be an amazing game, and thats exactly what it was. Absolutely fantastic game that needs to be remade, hours and hours of Bruce Willis yelling all the time! Highly addictive, great weapons and great evils to uncover and fight, if you havent played this game, get an emulator and play it. If you have and you are a games designer please remake it.
1. Legacy Of Kain Soul Reaver
My ultimate favourite game, at the time fantastic graphics, effects, and a even better story line. Its not just that game its the entire series really that should be remade as one huge game. This game had epic dialogue and brilliant voice acting. It would be a dream come true to have the graphics redone to HD level and experience the magnificence of it. Also while they remake it they could include the section of his brother Dumah, which was cut due to time and money.
Obviously this list isnt going to be to everyones cup of tea, this is purely what I would have. I would actually like to know what other people would like have remade.
I apologise for the terrible writing and spelling, I am an amateur, I also apologise if someone has recently done something similar, I have just realised I should check to see if someone has, but I have written this out already, and its a lot more than I can be bothered to do. Oh and by the way, if the information is incorrect, please let me know.

Hello I am Roy this is an introduction blog, so if you dont want to know who I am then exit now. I plan to actually write some blogs, but because of my lack of Basic English the writing will be terrible, oh and the spelling/grammar will be corrected by Word.
If you want to know about me then you can look at my profile I have written a load of s**t in there about me, I just thought I would say hello and some of the stuff I have been doing in the 6 months of joining Destructoid.
The first time I really got introduced into destructoid was because of my friend Hammertiem, who forced me to go down to London with him to meet dtoiders in the UK at the London Eurogamer Expo. This was one of the best experiences of my life meeting a bunch of randoms from the internet but also one of the most embarrassing, when Pheonix, Anus Mcphanus and I where sat in the hostel waiting for people to turn up, and talking about Mikey arriving. I asked who, she replied with the person who does the dtoid comic, me trying not to seem such a tit I just nodded. After that moment of intense heart palpitations and feeling really bad for not knowing this icon, I thought It would be a good idea to do some research into the people that accepted me very quickly.
At eurogamer I brought my video camera with me, nice little 1080p HDD camera and recorded a lot of footage of walking, then for the next few events continued and seemed to of got the responsibility of camera man. Even though the past two times I have just given the camera to Hammer, Anus and Shakey, which I do feel bad about because I should be doing it. So next event I have decided I will do all the recording and keep the walking down to a minimum. With all that in mind and gathering footage, I control the DtoidUK youtube channel, and create short compilations of footage, oh and a random one of me.
I have come up with a few ideas for DtoidUK that have been passed on to Pheonix, and I have made great friends with the meet ups, If you do want to find me I am nearly always in IRC and nearly Always in Skype, because of my amount of time on Skype I am the official SKYPE MASTER, no not really, but I do Skype an awful lot. I thought I would post a few videos from the dtoidUK channel, hopefully you wouldve seen them by now, but if not here there are. I do plan to do a lot more in the film, editing and authoring process for dtoiduk, but there just ideas at the moment.
I love Americans................wait what? I love talking to all those crazy Americans from IRC on Skype, Bigby in particular; well Bigby on Skype is actually him ranting about an iconic comic being ruined by Michael Bay. I also love hearing the history of destructoid, very interesting hearing the Old timers talk about moments that have been and gone.
Im sorry I am just rabbling on, bye
and.. me in the snow

Excellent Quality
Flower Enchantment Rectangle Invitations The wedding invitations were even better than I expected! The price was great and the quality was excellent. I loved the way they turned out. I would definitely use them again or recommend them to a friend!
Great Experience!
Something Blue Gate-fold Invitations I cant explain how helpful and amazing the customer service was. They responded within the same day to any questions i had. All my design request were met which was such a relief! The only thing wrong with my order was the color of the envelopes but they qyickly sent out another order of envelopes at no cost. All in all, I LOVED WORKING WITH MAGNETSTREET!
Gorgeous Invitations
Classic New York Pocket Invitations My fiance and I had Magnetstreet recommended to us by his cousin who was married last year. We ordered our Save The Dates and were so happy with the service that we ordered our invitations as well! My only complaint was that the numbers of our items were slightly off-- when all was said and mailed, we were left with about 7 extra invitations, ZERO envelopes, and about 20 extra reply cards-- I think there might have been a mixup in the inventory when they compiled our order. I would have complained to the company but anyone who has been a bride-to-be with a full time job knows that there is little time for customer service battles, especially when you're at your deadline for sending those invites.. That, combined with the groom's mother having a couple extra ivory colored envelopes that fit our invites lying around, we were able to send our last few invites despite the envelope shortage. Despite that little envelope snafu, I still highly back the company. The online design tools are spectacular such that I felt confident ordering my invites/reply cards, knowing exactly what they would look like before they even came. Both our Save The Date Magnets and our Invitations got rave reviews, and we will surely be returning to order our Thank You cards after our special day.
Something Blue Gate-fold Invitations These cards exceeded my expectations! The material is so high quality and the colors turned out beautifully. I am very satisfied.
Great product and great delivery
Classic New York Pocket Invitations We ordered our sample invitation and were very pleased. Our invitation allowed for 3 photos. I was concerned how they would look, but the quality was great. We had to adjust/crop the photos after seeing the sample, but that was easy. I thought the quality of the invitation and the envelope were great too. The slot for the inserts was smaller than I expected, but it is exactly what they describe. Look at the dimensions if you are looking to create your own inserts. My order was very timely. I needed to order additional invitations and they were delivered within a week. I would recommend this website and the pocket invitations to a friend. For the cost, it was a great product.

The Unbelievable Lawsuit Against Starbucks' Oprah Chai Tea
According to TMZ, a Buffalo, NY man is suing Starbucks, Oprah, and two seemingly unrelated area colleges for $15 million on a fairly absurd claim. As TMZ reports, Vernon Charles Allen Merriweather argues that, in addition to being racially harassed when applying for a barista position, he also supposedly consumed an Oprah Chai tea from Starbucks that was laced with drugs, including hallucinogens, heroin, and the sleeping pill Ambien. The only problem with his case? Hes stating that he received the spiked beverage from the coffee powerhouse months before the product was even on the market.

Sweet surprises for April Fools' Day: two delicious vegetable cakes
Somehow it's hard to imagine Marie Antoinette scoring any points with the bourgeoisie by stepping out on her Versailles balcony and tossing pieces of sauerkraut-chocolate cake or chocolate beet root cake to the crowds, even if she insisted they were palace-made from scratch. But, when you think of it, it wasn't too long ago that we were looking down our noses at zucchini bread and the like. And just look at carrot cake! It's become somewhat of an American institution. Perhaps not as ``American'' as Mom's Apple Pie, but it's arguably more popular these days in restaurants from Portland to Pasadena.
Carrots, zucchini, beets, and sauerkraut add more texture, substance, and moistness to the cake than any particular flavor.
These are not light and fluffy afternoon tea cakes. These are moist, dense, stick-to-the-ribs desserts. And they don't go stale in a day either. All keep for a week if tightly wrapped in aluminum foil. And they're fun as well. A perfect April Fools' dessert. Just don't tell your unsuspecting guests the ingredients - let them try and guess after they've take a bite.
Most likely you know someone who wouldn't get within a runner's mile of a plate of sauerkraut. Watch as they gulp down the sauerkraut-chololate cake and have your cake knife poised when they ask for another slice.
Several cookbooks have crossed this desk with recipes for chocolate-beet cake. This particular one is from Bert Greene's ``Kitchen Bouquets'' (Fireside Books, $9.95).
Mr. Greene got it from Jackie Cook who works at Ford's Cafe in Sonoma, Calif., and is attributed to Ms. Cook's grandmother who, as the story goes, brought the recipe by covered wagon across the Oregon Trail. It's a cake with a past, and a bit of history, and hopefully a future. Sauerkraut Chocolate Cake 1/2 cup butter, softened 11/2 cups granulated sugar 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup cocoa powder 1 cup water 1 8-ounce can sauerkraut, lightly drained and finely chopped by hand (don't use food processor)

Pivots Still at Play in January
Here are the pivots that continue to be magnets in January:
The Yield on the 10-Year Treasury Note (1.870%): The rise in yield held my annual value level at 1.981% on Jan. 4. Wall Street and most buy-side strategists have been advising investors to avoid U.S. Treasuries for years now. At the end of 2007 investors could have bought the 10-year note at 4.035%, and today this would be a 5-Year note which ended 2012 at 0.724%. The S&P was 1468 at the end of 2007 and 1426 at the end of 2012. My annual and semiannual value levels are 2.476% and 3.063% with the annual pivot at 1.981% and my semiannual risky level at 1.413%. Remember that QE3 and QE4 will continue until the unemployment rate falls to 6.5%.
Comex Gold ($1,687.3): My monthly pivot at $1,673.8 has been a magnet so far in January as expected. My annual value level is $1,599.9 with a monthly pivot at $1,673.8 and semiannual, quarterly and annual risky levels at $1,719.2, $1,802.9 and $1,852.1. Gold may rebound but I do not expect a re-inflation of the gold bubble. The weekly chart for gold shifts to positive with a close today above the five-week modified moving average at $1,682.3.
Nymex Crude Oil ($95.32): I expected oil to rebound to test my quarterly risky level at $95.84 and this was accomplished Thursday. My monthly value level lags at $74.23 with a quarterly pivot at $95.84 and annual risky levels at $115.23 and $115.42. Rising oil prices should not be viewed as a re-inflation of a bubble. The weekly chart has been positive since the week of Dec. 21, with the five-week MMA at $91.29 and the 200-week simple moving average at $85.20.
The Euro vs. the U.S. Dollar (1.3375): My semiannual value level is 1.2797 with annual and quarterly pivots at 1.3257 and 1.3346. A barrier to the upside is the 200-week MMA at 1.3526, as the weekly chart will become overbought next week. What most market participants do not realize is that the euro is weaker versus the dollar since ending 2007 at 1.459, which is between the June 2010 low at 1.1880 and the July 2008 high at 1.6035.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Report: Feds checking on possible links between Clemens, Houston clinic
Federal agents have contacted a former employee of a Houston fitness center in a bid to see whether Roger Clemens obtained performance-enhancing drugs in Houston, apparently broadening their probe of Clemens' congressional testimony, The New York Times reported.
The newspaper, citing the former employee who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said on Thursday that the agents inquired about the relationship between Shaun Kelley Weight Control and the ex-Yankees pitcher. The question was apparently also raised about whether Clemens knew the center's owner, Shaun K. Kelley.
Internal Revenue Service agents, including special agent Jeff Novitzky, are checking whether there are links between Kelley and any Clemens involvement in the purchase of steroids or human growth hormone. But agents have not yet interviewed Kelley, the news paper said, citing two lawyers familiar with the U.S. government's investigation of Clemens.
The agents are reported to be interested in interviewing a number of people in Houston, including Kelley, the lawyers said.
The FBI took over the Clemens case after Congress asked the Justice Department to look into Clemens' testimony at a Feb. 5 deposition and a Feb. 13 hearing. Clemens testified he never used steroids or HGH; his former trainer testified he injected Clemens with such substances at least 16 times between 1998 and 2001.
If investigators conclude Clemens lied about critical details, he could face charges of perjury, making false statements or obstruction of justice.
According to the former employee who spoke to the agents, Clemens was seen visiting Kelley's center in the past few years. Clemens, who lives about three miles from the center, introduced himself as a friend of Kelley and waited while Kelley finished talking with a client. Clemens then went into Kelley's office and remained there for about 20 minutes, the former employee said.
Kelley told The Times that Clemens was "an acquaintance," saying he met him "a couple" of times after initially saying they had met only once.
Kelley, in several Times interviews, denied being involved with performance-enhancing drugs. But the paper said he has advertised HGH on his Web site and acknowledged that he has taken HGH.
Kelley told the newspaper: "I have never seen Clemens in my store, ever. This is all totally false."
When asked by The Times about any Clemens connection to Kelley, Clemens attorney Rusty Hardin said he would not bring the matter to his client.
The question about any possible relationship is "despicable," Hardin told the paper. "You are on a witch hunt."
Kelley's business is located in an upscale shopping area in Houston's Memorial neighborhood that sells annual memberships for $15,000.
In other steroids-scandal news, The New York Daily News reported on Saturday that Novitzky has asked to interview former major leaguer Jose Canseco as part of his steroids probe.
Canseco's lawyer Robert Saunooke told the paper Canseco is happy to comply with the request.
"He's asked to meet with us and we've cooperated with the request," Saunooke said. "We'll get together whenever."

Iran wants full nuclear deal and investment, Rouhani tells Davos
DAVOS (REUTERS) - Iran is determined to negotiate a comprehensive deal on its nuclear programme with major powers so it can develop its battered economy, President Hassan Rouhani said on Thursday, inviting Western companies to seize opportunities now.
Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, the pragmatic president said Tehran was negotiating with the United States as part of a "constructive engagement" with the world and wanted Washington to back up its words with actions.
However, a day after a chaotic Syria peace conference from which Iran was excluded, he was unbending in his support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Ending "terrorism" backed by some of Syria's neighbours was a precondition for any settlement of the country's civil war, he said.
Elected last year on a promise to improve Tehran's relations with the outside world, Rouhani took the United Nations by storm in New York in September. His appearance in the Swiss resort launched phase two of a charm offensive aimed at ending sanctions that are crippling Iran's economy.

The Key to Fixing Global Warming? China
- |
- 12:00 pm |
- Permalink
In November, Chu and Obama flew to China for talks with the Chinese government. During a welcome ceremony, they sat in a banquet room in the Great Hall of the People around a Buckingham Fountain-sized table decorated with a life-size faux-peacock centerpiece atop a gold tablecloth and listened to a choir sing "That's What Friends Are For." During the visit, US and Chinese leaders also signed a flurry of agreements on clean energy. One in particular pleased Chu: the creation of the US-China Clean Energy Research Center. The agreement calls for both countries to ante up $75 million and to bring together their top clean energy scientists.
A Plan That Will Actually Work
Huge international climate deals are vexing. It would be simpler, Steven Chu says, to get the US and China to agree on cuts. Other nations would then follow.
— Angela Watercutter
If no international agreements are reached, world carbon dioxide emissions will soar.
Accords like those discussed at the Copenhagen conference (rich countries drop emissions 25 percent below 1990 levels; poor countries by 15 percent below projected 2020 levels) would work — but good luck getting everyone to sign them.
If the US and China agree to a strong bilateral deal (say, China reducing emissions by 60 percent per unit of GDP; the US by 17 percent below 2005 levels), the move could lead other countries to drop their emissions accordingly.
Details are still being finalized, but the plan is for the two governments to get royalty-free access to the intellectual property that comes out of the center; private companies could buy in at low rates. IP is often a tense issue between the US and China, because American businesses are wary that their work will be stolen or pirated. The agreement, however, will attempt to bypass the conflict by mandating that both sides share.
What's in it for China? Cash from American investors and access to US technology. While China is a leader in several areas of clean tech — it already produces 30 percent of the world's solar photovoltaics — it lags in others, like grid technology. And China's venture capital industry is still nascent.
And for the US? Chu sees an opportunity for the country to expand corporate experimentation. Take building efficiency: Because China is developing so quickly — and since its zoning and construction codes are not very restrictive — it's much easier to experiment with green buildings there. Domestic companies can get to China, learn what works, and use the information to profit back home. In other words, the US provides the raw research, and China serves as the real-life lab.
The mood in Copenhagen was dark this past December, as environmentalists watched years of planning for an international climate agreement fade away. It was somehow fitting that the sun was gone by 3:30 pm every day. But when I saw Chu, he was hardly moping. Socializing at a packed party in the home of the US ambassador to Denmark, holding a glass of white wine, he was confidently laughing and shaking hands. I asked him how worried he was about the deteriorating talks, and he shrugged. "Treaties are great, I'm all for treaties," he said. "But it's after the dust settles, that's what matters. It's up to us — government and private enterprise to make something happen."
Chu's relentless pragmatism extends even to home improvement. Chu and his wife have been arguing about whether to replace some skylights in their 1940s-era home. He knows he'll be able to save on heating costs and use less power if he replaces them with coated fiberglass skylights — using, coincidentally, the energy- efficient coating that came out of Berkeley Lab — but it would take a couple of decades for the savings to be worth more than the cost, and he doesn't see himself in DC for that long.
Chu's philosophy can, of course, irritate environmentalists. One of the topics they clash over most is coal: a dark, nasty substance that is utterly crucial to the energy supplies of both the US and China but that, per unit of energy, releases roughly 40 percent more carbon dioxide than gasoline does.
Chu has called coal his "worst nightmare." But the energy secretary also knows the big countries won't abandon it. So he has turned his attention to what's called clean coal. The theory: After the rocks are heated, the CO2 would be pumped deep underground instead of into the atmosphere.
For now, clean coal is hypothetical. But because Chu wants us to figure out a way to make it happen, he announced in spring 2009 that the DOE would channel $1 billion into FutureGen, a carbon-capturing power plant planned for Illinois. And not surprisingly, one of his next priorities has been getting China and the US to commit to clean coal projects together.
But even thinking about clean coal infuriates environmental hard-liners. Jeff Biggers is a prominent author who writes about Appalachia, a region ravaged by coal mining. "This is where Chu is a failure," Biggers says. "He can't look anyone straight in the face and say that within 10 years we'll be able to capture carbon emissions."
Chu can, however, say that he has no time for chasing all-or-nothing proposals, or ones that nobody is going to buy into. He sees the need to act now and to act fast. And most important, to act in a way that will bring China along. According to Chu, the old way to solve environmental problems was to say "Eat your peas, they're good for you." The new way is to invent clean energy technology and say "If you do this, you're going to be richer, you're going to be happier. And it turns out that it creates jobs, and oh, by the way, you have to do it anyway."
The other countries can keep struggling to find a way to save the planet. Chu has his sights set on one path. He'll be nice about dragging the US along. But he doesn't plan to be patient.
