Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a temporary dysfunction of the brain due to a shortage of blood and oxygen. A TIA lasts no longer than 24 hours. It is sometimes referred to as a mini-stroke.
TIA is a serious condition. It serves as a warning for a potential stroke .
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Blood and oxygen are carried to the brain through major blood vessels in the neck. The blood then passes through a series of blood vessels in the brain. A TIA occurs when the blood flow through the neck or brain vessels is reduced. The blood flow may be reduced by a narrowing or blockage of the blood vessels.
Narrowing of the blood vessels may occur with:
Blood vessels can also become blocked or obstructed by a clot or clump that is floating in the blood. This may be caused by:
Certain chronic medical conditions can affect the health of your blood vessels. These conditions may increase your chances of TIA:
TIAs are more common in men than women in younger age groups. They are also more common in people age 45 years or older, with the highest risk between ages 60-80 years. Other factors that increase your chance for TIA include:
TIA symptoms occur abruptly. They usually last less than an hour but they may persist for up to 24 hours. The symptoms are different depending on the part of the brain that is affected. TIA symptoms are similar to those of a stroke and need immediate medical attention.
Symptoms may include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will carefully assess your blood pressure and nervous system. The main goal of tests or questions will be to determine your stroke risk.
Tests may include:
A TIA places you at greater risk for having a stroke. The risk is actually highest in the first week after your TIA. Therefore, rapid treatment aims to decrease your risk of stroke. This can be done with lifestyle changes, medication, and surgery.
Smokers must quit . Talk with your doctor about the smoking cessation programs.
People with diabetes, hypertension , and/or high cholesterol must make every effort to manage these conditions. It can be done with:
The doctor may also prescribe medications to lower blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. This will help lower these risk factors.
To decrease the risk of clot formation your doctor may recommend antiplatelet agents such as aspirin.
If the blood clot came from your heart due to atrial fibrillation, anticoagulants may be prescribed.
If you have at least a 70% blockage in your carotid artery (in your neck), doctors may recommend:
These procedures have risks associated with them. Talk wth your doctor about your options.
If the cause of the TIA is a treatable condition, it must be promptly treated. Specific conditions that need further treatment include:
To reduce your chance of TIA or stroke, take these steps:

It should be easy to increase that with a good board, maybe the kernel module could be patched as well. Win OC tools allow on the fly changes so it should be possible I did not see any hardware sites with oc hd 4000 results, but it scaled pretty well. Using ddr3-1600 setting was also faster than ddr3-1333, so faster ram helps as well (tomshardware compared impact of ram speed btw).

Alex Pettyfer and Olga Kurylenko.
With the LA premiere of Iron Man 3 last night at the El Capitan in Hollywood (Disney's official theater) news of another Marvel sequel arrived. Avengers director, Joss Whedon, was on hand and was very forthcoming about his sequel in the wake of Shane Black's Iron Man 3. Whedon spoke with Yahoo Movies (via Collider.com) about where he is in the writing process and what new characters we will see.
Joss Whedon on Avengers 2:
"I have actually finished a draft and I'm redoing it now. I think it's in really good shape. We're in a very good place… It's going really well, eventually someone will explain to me that it's not and pull me out of my bubble. I've been writing and meeting with actors and we're starting to storyboard, all the preliminary processes. This is the part where it's all still fun."
Will there be any new characters?
"I've got these two characters, two of my favorite characters from the comic book, a brother-sister act. They're in the movie."
Gee I wonder who that is going to be? Hello Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver!
Whedon also spoke of topping his original Avengers film and now Iron Man 3.
"I try not to think of it as topping it. I try to think of this as its own movie. Sometime yeah, I feel pressure and by the way, Shane [Black] not helping, Iron Man 3 not helping, because I saw this and man he really got it right. But when you're in the story and you're dealing with these characters that you love, that everybody loves, when you've got the new characters sliding in next to them it's very exciting. Then I don't feel pressure, it's like I'm reading my favorite comic."
Let's get right down to it. Who would you cast as the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver?
Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch with no Magneto. LAME. Another reason why Fox should have never had the X-Men. If they did not they could even have Wolverine in the Avengers, which in the comics kicks ass.
It is a cool idea though and I am sure Whedon will handle it well. But the disconnect between the father and children will be hard to gloss over.
I thought Alex Pettyfer would have been a great Havoc. Or if they would ever do A Batman Beyond movie I can see him being Terry Mcguiness and Clint Eastwood as an aged Batman/Bruce Wayne
Will it be awkward to explain who they are? Perhaps. Will Whedon carry it off? Yes.
excuse me, but im still trying to get over this Iron Man3/Mandarin bullsht i just heard about. WTF Marvel!
Any chance he isn't talking about Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver? Of course, that is immediately who I thought of, but wasn't sure if there were any other brother/sister combos out there. I know it is a 99% probability that is who he is talking about, though.
So Pietro is going to see the (Quick)silver screen before the Flash. Sigh... Good for Marvel. DC, get your act together! :)
Northstar and Aurora? Power Pack? I can't think of any others that the pair could be. Any other ideas?

As the article mentioned, the Live CDs are pretty useless because you can install Gentoo from any LiveCD (even Ubuntu). The only use I've had for the Gentoo LiveCD was to install Gentoo, which I now do with System Rescue CD which is based on Gentoo and updated a lot more often.
It also has some really nice tools for fixing stuff and disk management.

The diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTaP) vaccine protects against:
DTaP immunizations are given as a series of five injections, usually administered at ages:
After the initial series of immunizations, a vaccine called Tdap (the booster shot) should be given at ages 11 to 12, or to older teens and adults who haven't yet received a booster with pertussis coverage. Then, Td (tetanus and diphtheria) boosters are recommended every 10 years. Pregnant women should also get the Tdap vaccine in the second half of each pregnancy, even if they've been vaccinated in the past.
Use of the DTaP vaccine has virtually eliminated diphtheria and tetanus in childhood and has markedly reduced the number of pertussis cases.
The vaccine frequently causes mild side effects: fever; mild crankiness; tiredness; loss of appetite; and tenderness, redness, or swelling in the area where the shot was given.
Rarely, a child may have a seizure or cry uncontrollably after getting the vaccine. But these sorts of side effects are so rare that researchers question whether they're even caused by the vaccine. Most kids have a few minor or no side effects.
Your doctor might decide to just give a partial vaccine or no vaccine, or may determine that the benefits of vaccinating your child outweigh the potential risks.
Your child may experience fever, soreness, and some swelling and redness in the area where the shot was given. Depending on your child's age, pain and fever may be treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Check with your doctor to see if you can give either medication, and to find out the appropriate dose.
A warm, damp cloth or a heating pad also can help reduce soreness. Moving or using the limb that has received the injection often reduces the soreness.

Improvements® Buyer's Club
This product meets my expectations.
Overall I the love, love, the product. HOWEVER, the fabric didn't fit as tightly over the frame as I would have liked and there were wrinkles on all three awnings. I'm not happy with that, but can live with it. Tried to pull them as tight as possible over the frame, but there is only so much frame. Color is good, a little more "orangie" than I would have liked. Hard to tell the exact color without seeing it in person. I know this sounds negative, but I don't mean it to be, just my thoughts on the product.
September 19, 2013
great for now
The cost of the Buyer's Club was offset by the free shipping which would have been $31.00. I already used one of the savings coupons. I'm not sure what I will get out of having the buyer's club after the second coupon is used. It has been a good deal for me.

Police track 'perfect storm' of scrap metal losses
By JOHN WHARTON
Staff writer
A Calvert County man has been charged through a summons with a theft offense in court papers alleging he stole materials valued at $45,000 last month from a St. Mary's excavation business where he once worked.
Timothy Brian Conner, 49, was employed about two years ago at A.C. Mattingly Mechanical Services and Dirt Works Excavation in Leonardtown, where property reported missing in December included more than five tons of metal, including steel sheeting, loader arms, a crane's spreader bar, an air compressor and a generator, according to charging papers from the investigation.
Conner sold the items Dec. 19 to Super Salvage, a local scrap metal yard, and received $674 after he provided his driver's license, as required by law, St. Mary's sheriff's deputy Melissa Green wrote in a charges application.
Sheriff's Capt. Steven Hall said last week that the thefts of property later sold as scrap metal have escalated into a "perfect storm" as the price of the metals increases amid a downturn in the economy, and that salvage yards generally have been helpful in tracking illegal activity.
"The only thing they're required to do is inventory what they receive and from whom," Hall said, adding that the salvage businesses have a good reason to try to avoid paying for stolen property, as the police can and will return it to its rightful owner.
"They're making an attempt," the captain said. "There's always room for improvement."

Finally cracked the tannat a few weeks ago. Definitely not a grape for me! I found it too sweet for my palate in a sort of biting way. Couldn't get through the bottle. But the PSs are good. Just not good enough for justify paying or another bottle of Tannat...
Always enjoyed the Ursa Petite Sirahs - in for 3
Sounds intriguing. I think I'm in for one! Oh, wait, no shipping to NJ...
Has anyone tried all 3 Petite Syrahs and have a favorite?
Found the blend on wine-searcher for $9.99 or $12.99. hmmmz...
I've tasted Ursa's Sirahs before and they are quite good. I've also tasted the Tannant (Not. A. Fan.) I thought about maybe going in for one but not at the expense of a bottle I'm not going to like.
I was a fan of these last time. N 4 1
Hmm... Missed out on a wine I would actually buy.... These ps is the reason why I started to like ps, and one of the reasons I started trusting woot selections....
Again - MN folks - would be interested to try those out... let's get together

Good fit
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm 5'11" 150 with slim athletic build and have a Large jersey. The fit is great. Not super tight but not baggy when in in the saddle. The zipper at the bottom can be a little tricky but otherwise very solid.
Really wanted to like it but....
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
The zipper finally just killed it for me. It may have just been the jersey I received but I could not zip it with one hand and when trying to completely unzip it felt like I was going to rip the zipper off. The fit was great and loved the feel, just afraid I was going to rip it up with that damn zipper
Camron Maestas
My Fave!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
As some other reviews state sizing can be inconsistent . I have three of these in different colors Two large an one medium . The newest large fits much looser than the one I purchased a year ago. So I picked up a medium fits perfect. That being said out of 15-20 jerseys in my closet ranging from all prices . This is still my favorite everyday jersey to ride in.
great jersey, especially for the price
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
classic Castelli styling, materials, construction and fit. I'm 5'10" / 165-lbs with a 41" chest and the XL has a nice form fit, it's not a race fit (I like my jerseys to be a little loose). castelli adds the zippered pocket on the side of the back 3 pockets which is a nice feature. overall I'm extremely pleased with the fit/feel of the jersey, and with a little luck you can find it on sale.
Seungkap Hong
Good jersey
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I'm satisfied about this product.
Above all, the price is cheap than other castelli product.
The fit is a little looser than other castelli jerseys S size.
so, I feel comfortable. however this is the unfortunate point.
My favorite style is Race fit style.
Great for the price
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
I love the simple design. It's almost retro. The fit is just slightly looser than other Castelli jerseys I own. This is definitely not a race cut.
I am 6' 160lb and wear a medium. I should order another one while on sale...
Almost Perfect
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have several of these jerseys and have only one complaint, the zipper. It's a fine tooth zipper that's hard to start and even harder to adjust with one hand while riding. Other than that I like the cut, fabric and styling but wish they had used a coarse tooth zipper like those found on the Velocissimo jersey.
Functions well, but color sun faded
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
I loved this jersey, unitl the end of the season when I noticed the color difference between the front, the back and the arm pits. I purchased the anthracite color, but it is now many shades depending on where you look. Also the red from the Castelli logo ran into the white. I have ten year old jerseys that look better. Disclaimer: I ALWAYS wash on cold, delicate and hang dry. I have never had a piece of cycling clothing loose color so fast from the sun.
Solid jersey once you get the size right
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
OK i know the euros are much tinier than the 'mericans. BUT this ran much smaller than expected. I purchased this as a gift for my dad and it was a size too small. He normally wears a L but had to go for an XL (but then returned it again for an XXL because he didn't like his belly showing through the neon green fabric)
If you're normally a L , I would suggest going up 1 size.
This top is basic and does the job. Always a fan of Castelli. This product does not disappoint!
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Loved everything but the zipper. Not the usual Castelli zipper and the zipper was backwards from a standard man's zipper. Zipper was also hard to get started. Loved everything else though.
Too small...
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
I know the Italians like tight fitting gear.... but this is ridiculous!
I am 5'10", 187 lbs and this felt like a small on me. The material and design was nice (I did say Italian) so pity the size. BC did me right on the returns though... am very happy with that.

Can you, Devageet, remind me of the number? - because even in the posthumous record, the postscript, I have to make it ten. What is the number you said?
"Number six, Osho."
Good. It is so beautiful that I said posthumous. I am really dead, that's why I allow you to call me Blessed One. If I am not dead then to call me the blessed one is not right.
The word posthumous came to me accidentally. I was going to say postscript, but sometimes truth comes out accidentally. It is not arranged, ordered, it just erupts like a volcano. I was not going to say it, but it came out on its own. Truth has its own ways. I am really a posthumous man; I died long ago.
Sixth, I saw Hermann Hesse. He was not an enlightened one, what to say about those who have gone beyond enlightenment. He was just an ordinary human being, but in a poetic flight he has written one of the greatest books in the world, Siddhartha.
Siddhartha is really the name of Gautama the Buddha, given to him by his parents. He became known as Gautam Buddha. Gautama was his family name; Buddha simply means "the awakened." Siddhartha was the real name given by his parents in consultation with the astrologers. It is a beautiful name. Siddhartha also means "one who has attained to the meaning." Siddha means "one who has attained"; artha means "the meaning." Combined together Siddhartha means "one who has come to the meaning of life." The astrologers, the parents, the people who gave him this name must have been wise people - if not enlightened, at least wise.worldly-wise at least.
Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha repeats the story of Buddha in a different way, but in the same dimension, with the same meaning. It is unbelievable that Hermann Hesse could write it but could not become a siddha himself. He remained a poor writer. Yes, a Nobel prize winner, but that does not matter that much. You cannot give a Nobel prize to a buddha; he will laugh and throw it away. But the book is immensely beautiful, and I include it.
Seventh: It is not known that even in the very traditional, orthodox Judaism there have been a few utterly enlightened masters - even some who have gone beyond enlightenment. One of them is Baal Shem Tov. I cannot forgive myself for not including him, and there is nobody to whom I can ask forgiveness.
Baal Shem Tov. Tov was the name of his town. His name simply means "Baal Shem from the town of Tov"; so let us call him simply Baal Shem. I have spoken about him because when I was speaking about Hassidism I have not left anything essential unspoken. I have spoken of Tao, of Zen, of Sufism, of Hassidism. I am not a man of any tradition so I am free to move in any direction I decide to. I don't even need a map. Let me remind you again:

The teachings of the spiritual leaders of both the East and West are as relevant today as when they were first written. These traditions can provide valuable guidance for dealing with relationship issues and life uncertainties.
Everyone has heard the advice not to lash out in anger. It's especially important to remember in this digital age. When you hit the send button in a moment of anger or resentment, that message not only delivers pain to the recipient but can also boomerang back on the sender. In the digital world, everything is retrievable. Every comment is accessible. A moment's indiscretion can have devastating repercussions.
So take time to think before you speak — or text or type — to consider the consequences on your relationships with others. After all, when hardship strikes, having a network of friends can be a life preserver. Don't miss the boat.

Thank you I really needed to hear this at this moment. Our family is under a lot of stress and I feel God, through you, has said "Chill out and calm down". Thank you :-)
Great advice. I have written few articles on anger management - anger can mar your career, your family relationships and even your corporate connections
you hit the nail on the head!
Thank you. Great the advise.

Players looking for a lightweight performance shoe now have a new option, the New Balance 900. Built on a running last instead of the standard New Balance court shoe, the 900 offers a sleek, speed feel. That speed feel is enhanced with the light feeling of the shoe. The 900 features the Acteva midsole, which is 12% lighter than the standard midsole foam, New Balance says. We also found the shoe to offer plenty of cushioning from the N-ergy system, which is designed not only to absorb shock, but also provide a responsive feel. Overall, this is a good fit for competitive players looking for a blend of durability and speed.
- Fit: Length fits true to size. This is the B medium width shoe. Arch support is a medium height. No break-in required.
- Upper: Synthetic leather and mesh. Long-wear Drag Tip and toe bumper for protection against court abrasions.
- Lining: Lightning Dry for moisture management and seamless Phantom liner.
- Midsole: Full EVA midsole featuring lightweight Acteva foam and Abzorb cushioning provide shock absorption. N-ergy in the heel provides impact absorption and responsive cushioning. Stability Web provides optimal arch support that prevents midfoot flex.
- Outsole: Ndurance non marking rubber outsole in a herringbone tread pattern for traction on a variety of court surfaces. Features One Year NDurance Outsole Durability Guarantee.

2012 Illuminati Apocalypse Hoax
I just came across this very interesting, very timely mini-documentary about the New World Order's 2012 apocalypse hoax, how they are using H.A.A.R.P. to create earthquakes and tsunamis, how they are using Hollywood and the MSM for propaganda and fear-mongering, and how they encode Masonic numerology and symbology into all their work. This video was made by Christopher Lord of Truthiracy.com, Truthiracy Blog, Truthiracy Youtube. I found the "foreboding" voice he does on all his videos annoying at first, but I guess I can appreciate it - it gives it that cinematic type effect.
23 comments:
I too, was initially frightened by all this hype about 2012, the world is ooming to an end, Planet X will cause great catacysms, drastic Pole Shift.
It took me about 10 months from when I first started researching to FINALLY come to see what 2012 really means--The Golden Age
and I very much look forward to that!
The illuminaughti use smoke and mirrors--only real smoke and real mirrors, but it is THEY who are manipulating it, because all of us HUJMANS, have within our DNA, the key, that the dark forces have KEPT from us.
The Mayan elders say their calendar has been wrongly interpreted to mean the end of the world. NOT SO! We are entering higher vibrations of 4D Earth, and it has been said that all secrets of our Human history, shall be revealed--that which the dark forces has kept hidden (maybe in the vatican???, and other secret holdings)
DON'T LET THEM TOUCH YOUR DNA! - April 3, 2011 at 10:43 PM
The dark forces cannot survive the higher vibrations that Earth is already progressing in...but they don't want YOU, who have in our birthright DNA, the ability to ascend with Earth into her former beautiful higher vibratory self.
That is why tptb have been poisoning human kind thru the
Air (by Chemtrail Aluminum, Barium),
Water (by Fluoride),
Food (by GMO deadly bacteria DNA),
Vaccines (by Dog / Monkey / Cow / Aborted Human Fetus RNA)
Food Additives (Aspartame, Sucralose, Caramel Coloring, MSG, Yeast Extract (which is MSG), Baking Powder (which is mostly Aluminum)
Persona Care Additives (Toothpaste which contains 99.5% Aluminum as well as Fluoride, Deodorant which is Aluminum)
The fluoride (besides being a rat poison) also CALCIFIES your precious Pineal Gland--and this is the gateway that unlocks your highest human potential.

I had been pondering lately, that the Bible, was rewritten by the early dark forces as a playbook, a How-To manual for their chess game between the dark forces against the light forces, seeing who is going to win in the end game.
And the cataclysmic events in Revelation was prewritten by the dark forces for future dark forces to "act" out their play on the Earth stage when technology permitted.
Perhaps this is why the Bible can "prophecy" so accurately. - April 4, 2011 at 12:29 AM

Yes I have been sharing part 3 especially as its analysis of the gematria is startling.
I actually began to jump down this rabbot hole for quite a while some time ago, but found it all overwhelming, AND a lot of the researchers sources were coming from a Christian perspective which i also hate.
Either that or idealism.
But you cannot get this outta your face--yet again we are seeing this serial killers clue--9/11, 3/11. 111111
It is very eyeopening in that vid that the cop code for errr 311 if i remember right is for 'flasher/indescent exposure/exhibitionist in the public realm and they show a censored pin of a naked man pissin in sidewalk--least i think he's pissn ;)
But THIS would really sum up the mindset of these people wouldn't it. TOTAL UTTER depravity. Finding it awfully amosing that they are mass murdering in public droppin clues left right and centre and assured that the majority of the naive populace will be totally unaware what is going on! - April 4, 2011 at 6:28 AM

This is all scary if you ask me. I have faith in the teachings of Christ.I also believe that some things are twisted around. But the Almighty Creator, whom came to this earth as a man, knows and no one even with dark powers can take away "all" of what he has wanted us to know. That being said, He has kept the main principle teachings of morality, and faith without seeing so that we may be saved from our aggressors or whatever dark entity that may have a stronghold! Amen! that just came over me quick!!

Dear All,
as i read all the topics on DNA upgrade, changes and Discoveries. i found that every thing clearly prophesied in Holy Qur'an. specially on spiritual healing, sound and light effect on DNA. The holy Qur'an is word of God (Allah) with out any falsification. GOD (Allah) has created us and, Allah (GOD) is the one and only who has guides us how to live and how deal with every thing in our life. therefore Allah (GOD) has send us the divine revelation (The Holy Qur'an) as a last revelation after previous revelation sent to Jesus, Moses, David and Ibrahim. The Holy Qur'an is filled and coded with verses for changing DNA in the way that Allah (GOD) has guided us. if some one applies and practice Qur'an Verses and revelations, no one will have the power to alter his DNA with out Allah's will. as a result Do Read the Qur'an and you will find it very clear and the only guide for the best way of life.
All the best : research.q1(at)gmail(dot)com - December 31, 2011 at 12:11 AM
at least that part of waking up is really happening ,exposing a shitload of frauds ,and at the end of 2012 all those who believed in whatever disaster was predicted will wake up to the fact that next time the bullshitters will have a hell of a time convincing anyone.

Illuminate is only trying to put fear into people thinking they can control everyone like with the card games. if you were to see the original card game to the one now it's been nothing. It updated its. The illuminate think there smart but if they look at any evil organized society such as USSR and the nazis they will fall and because people. No umpire has ever lasted though history. They use fear as there only weapon because if someone has a large amount of fear they are easy convicted so stay strong in what you belive in

X2 Kui Buri (pronounced "cross to") is Thailand's first
chain of design resorts and hotels. It caters to a cosmopolitan group of creative and stylish guests that enjoy living life and want a first class, private resort without the formal environment of traditional luxury hotels. For those guests that want something different, the resort allows them to cross to (X2) a whole new dimension of luxury by design, and experience life as it should be. The general area is underdeveloped and peaceful with the only communities being local fishing villages. The resort is located on virgin beachfront land covering over 4 acres (12 Rai). The 23 semi private villas each have their own terrace, garden and most with private pools. The existing landscape of large, well developed trees has been carefully preserved, and provides a unique atmosphere punctuated by large open spaces and unique natural horticulture. |

Rating: 2.80 out of 10 votes cast
nice shoe!
perfectly proportioned for those who want a little height but have sworn off the 4+ inch heels. very comfortable wear!only reason for not a 5 is, while I am used to a slightly larger left foot, the "make-up" difference between the the left and right was a little more than usual.
No Comfort Here
These shoes are not comfortable at all. Very difficult to walk in.. I have only worn them once and don't think I'll be able to wear them again. Wish I had returned them.
Hammonton, nj
Wonderful item! I enjoy the comfort sole & the richness of color. I purchased brown first but would love to have black & navy! Great sale!

Indianapolis, IN
Very pretty shoes
These are beautiful shoes. Not sure how well they will hold up, but very pretty. I usually wear a 9, so after reading the reviews, I ordered a 9. However, they hurt my toes. I sent them back for a 9.5, and these are much more comfortable. Will probably need an insole since they are a tine bit big, but not as big as I expected while reading the other reviews. And they don't hurt. Getting the other colors in that size. Too bad the blue is now sold out. Really pretty shoes.
Austin TX
Too narrow
I was excited to finally find a suede chocolate platform pump in wide, but when I received them, I laughed at the "wide" width. just looking at the shoe I could tell they wouldn't fit. I ordered my regular size 7.5, but I know even an 8 would not fit my size D width feet. Very disappointed I had to waste money on shipping them to me and then back.
Norwalk, CT
Great pumps, comfortable and super nice looking
I am a shoe size 9.5 or 10. In this case seeing the other reviews I decided to go with the 9.5 M. They fit perfectly and they look very nice, very much like Kate Middleton style. Unlike the round toe pump ($39.99) the platform on those make them very comfortable. I got a pair of the other ones but there isn't enough support on the ball of the foot and the heel is not positioned well so it actually hurts to just stand in them. This pair, on the other hand is perfect, no pain, no discomfort and they look fabulous. I got a brown pair, returned the cheaper ones which were black and ordered another black pair in this model.In general if shoes are a bit big you can go a size down if they exist or order the narrow instead of medium. One can also buy at the drug store sticky pads for the back of the heel that help to prevent blisters and stabilize the shoe if they are still a touch too big in the smallest size.I have no complains about those shoes, only praises.
Belmont, MA
These run so large, that even in the smallest size, 6, they are too big. and, unfortunately 6 is the smallest size - so had to send them back.
The cutest shoes but.....
I loved these shoes, but I wore them to church & was so embarassed. The shoes kept flip flopping off of my feet. I tried putting tissue in the tips of the toes, it didnt help.I ordered my size but they were still to big. It's a heavy shoe, I think that the soles are to heavy, which makes the shoe slip off the foot when you take a step. Sooooo disappointed. I love the sytle, but I must return them.:-(
Jacksonville, Nc
nice shoe, but they hurt my toes
I had wanted these shoes since I first saw them. Just got them yesterday, wore them around the house for the first time today and my foot slid out. My toes touch the very tip so I had to take them off and will sadly be returning them. I ordered them in my size and they were too big also.

SO COMFORTABLE AND CUTE but the heel cap came right off :(
I'm 21, recently had bunion surgery on both feet (inherited horror-feet), and I do a lot of walking. I got tons of compliments wearing these in black--and no one's ever really commented on my footwear before. Friends even asked where I got them. I want to give these shoes a 5 star rating, because it is IMPOSSIBLE to find an affordable pair of 1. round toed 2. low-medium heel 3. pumps. I've gotta knock off some stars however, because after only a few wears, maybe 3 days, and just walking around my campus and the mall, the heel cap fell off and the dreaded "clip-click" noise started from the exposed metal core. Boo :(

With charts and graphs and such, Andy Skuce makes an interesting argument HERE:Let's start with two skill-testing questions:
1. If we stop greenhouse gas emissions, won't the climate naturally go back to the way it was before?
2.�Isn't there "warming in the pipeline" that will continue to heat up the planet no matter what we do?
The correct answer to both questions is "no".
Global warming is not reversible but it is stoppable.
Many people incorrectly assume that once we stop making greenhouse gas emissions, the CO2 will be drawn out of the air, the old equilibrium ...

PG&E customers can delay SmartMeter installation
PG&E customers who have safety or other concerns about SmartMeters can now delay installation.
The company announced April 25 that customers who have not yet received a SmartMeter could temporarily delay the installation of their new meter. PG&E began installing the controversial meters in Plumas County last month.
Customers who wish to postpone their SmartMeter installation can do so by calling a dedicated toll-free number: (877) 743-7378. There is no fee associated with this delay.
Under pressure, PG&E filed a proposal with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in March that, if approved, would provide customers the option to turn off the radios in their SmartMeters. The commission is currently reviewing the proposal.
If the commission approves PG&E's radio-off option, customers who have requested a delay would still receive a SmartMeter, but they could have PG&E turn off the radios in their meters. But that option comes at a cost: an up-front fee of $135 – $270 and a monthly cost of $14 – $20 for a meter reader to come out and read the meter. These fees would be in addition to customers' regular monthly energy bills.
Critics say the radiation from the wireless meters poses a health risk. PG&E spokesman Paul Moreno said the devices emit 1 watt of power and transmit for 45 seconds a day — a rate of exposure that would take 1,000 years to equal a typical month's worth of cellphone use. But critics also argue that radiation from cellphones endangers users' health. Groups like Stop Smart Meters are holding out for the return of analog meters.
The SmartMeters have also come under fire for being inaccurate and causing customers' bills to skyrocket. PG&E claims an independent third-party study has verified the accuracy of the new meters. Moreno said that over time some of the old analog meters slow down, resulting in under reporting of energy use and artificially low bills.
The SmartMeters attach to traditional electric meters and record hourly meter reads that are periodically transmitted via a dedicated radio frequency network to PG&E. The technology is part of the CPUC's effort to upgrade the state's energy infrastructure.
SmartMeter installation began in southern and central California, where it has suffered a huge backlash. The CPUC has received hundreds of complaints from customers, and Bakersfield customers have filed a class action lawsuit. Assemblyman Jared Huffman introduced legislation, currently on hold, that would compel PG&E to offer an opt-out.
Complaints about the meters include the loss of jobs (meter readers will no longer be needed), much higher electric bills and loss of privacy (the company can tell what appliances customers are using when).
PG&E has said there is nothing wrong with the meters and the higher bills are a result of other factors: rate hikes, summer temperatures and customers not shifting their use to off-peak times when rates are lower.
The promise of SmartMeters is that they will allow customers to monitor their electric use so they can make more informed decisions about energy conservation.
The problem: Currently, PG&E's meters do not have any in-home energy management displays or dashboards, so customers don't know how much energy they are using. PG&E does have plans to install these in the future.
One industry observer has cautioned that if there is too much of a lag time between installation of the SmartMeter and installation of the monitoring technology, the "consumer starts to feel disenfranchised."
Others in the utilities industry warn that companies like PG&E need to educate consumers about time-of-use rates. Under this model, consumers are charged a different rate according to when they use electricity. Shifting use to low-demand times results in lower rates, thus delaying or preventing construction of expensive new power plants and preventing the need for blackouts.
