Comments about 30-cc Gas Powered 18 in. Straight Shaft String Trimmer:
This unit is an absolute piece of junk. The initial unit had an oil leak, and was returned. The replacement unit will not start. I am a certified technician and here are my findings:
1. The carburetor was clogged with fuel gum
2. Broken Heat Dam which was broken at factory by overtightening bolts
Warranty is not worth the paper it's written on. Called three places and this is what they said:
1. Northern Tool - Not accepting warranty at this location and the place that does is has a eight week waiting time.
2. REID'S BUY, SELL & TRADE - "Will not service Ryobi products, as they want to pay $15 for warranty repair, and want us to spend time tearing it apart".
Spoke with Ryobi, to simply provide the $4.18 part, and they said it's not their policy!!!!!!!

First of all wish that CPO would check first they work(my opinion). I Just bought one and I was not able to start at all! I called CPO and they gave me a place to take it to get it fix. Turns out the spark plug was dirty with oil and that is why it would not start. Apparently all oil was not taken out and it must of gone in the spark plug but just the hassle to drive around to get it fix is the thing that bugged me (that was cover by Warranty). I would of gave a 5 star but just that hassle.
The item was very clean just on the stand when you put down on the ground was all scraped but everything else look very nice and like new.
Also for those of you that buy this kind of machines please buy the 4 cycle fuel Ethonal Free or the solution to mix with the gas(not oil! is a solution to mix with the gas). Lady at the shop said that gas alone will ruin them because of the Ethanol.
I can't wait to use it and see what damage will do to the Grass :) looks powerful.
It starts now very easily following the instruction so I like that a lot!

In her definitive book, Seventy-eight Degrees of Wisdom, a Book of Tarot, Rachel Pollack begins the first chapter with this spread:
These are the four most basic tarot archetypes arranged in a perfect pattern of spiritual evolution. I call this the "everything you really need to know about the major arcana" layout.
The vertical axis is The Fool and The World. The beginning and the end. The Aleph and the Tav. The Alpha and the Omega. Most authors describe these figures as androgynous and both figures are dancing. In fact, they are the only dancers in the major arcana. Death dances in some of the decks, but Death will always dance, and who are we to say it can't. All of the other figures are pictured in static positions, like they're posing for a photographer—they each represent a distinct, fixed state of existence.
The Fool is dancing along a precipice high above the rest of the world and looks to be about to leap down into it. But there is no fear or holding back. S/he radiates innocence and total confidence.
The World, however, dances suspended in a magical wreath of victory and radiates not only a feeling of completion and wholeness, but also a feeling of endless possibility, which in turn suggests new beginnings. Together they represent the eternal dance of the universe from beginning to end to new beginning—the cosmic spiral. Like an electromagnetic current spiraling between the anode and cathode ends of a battery, the vertical axis spins around the static horizontal axis formed by The Magician and High Priestess.
The Magician's planet is Mercury, which represents the psychological functions of logic and communication. He holds aloft a wand in his right hand and points down toward the earth with his left. And so the Magician clearly represents manifestation through logical, linear thought and action—functions of the conscious mind, the left brain. Occultists and many psychotherapists assign these traits to the positive, masculine principal.
The High Priestess sits calmly between a black pillar and a white pillar. A veil hangs between them, the thin veil of conscious awareness, which is all that separates us from our inner selves. The Moon, the planet of imagination, illusions and the unseen, is assigned to her. And so the HPS is the keeper of the infinite and powerful, yet static wisdom of the not-conscious, the right brain. These traits are assigned to the negative, feminine principal. Water is a symbol of the not-conscious and tarot readers are fond of saying that the piece of the High Priestess's blue robe that trails off the card becomes all the rivers and pools and oceans that appear in the rest of the tarot.
The numbers of these cards are also significant.
- The Fool's number is 0, which isn't a real number, in fact, it's a not-number. It's egg shaped, and like an egg, it represents infinite yet unmanifested possibility.
- The Magician's number is 1. The first real number. One means wholeness, ego.
- The HPS's number is 2. With the number 2 we have a duality: odd/even, positive/negative, black/white, yin/yang, masculine/feminine.
- The World's number is 21. It contains both 1 and 2, The Magician and the HPS. In other words, The World represents the reunion of The Magician and The High Priestess, the yin and the yang. 2+1=3, the magic number, the number of creativity, the child of the union of 1 and 2. In fact, the digits of both the horizontal and vertical axes add up to 3. The High Priestess key even foretells the resulting three. She is the third figure between the two pillars of Boaz and Joachim, mercy and severity, the pillars of the Temple of Solomon. Waite has even labeled one B and one J to be sure you don't miss the symbolism.
This is the guide to inner wisdom that Cabalists call The Tree of Life. It's made up of the ten Sephiroth or Sephirot connected by twenty two paths. Each path is assigned a major arcana card. The sephroth on the right form the pillar of mercy and the ones on the left form the pillar of severity. The High Priestess forms the third or middle pillar of the Tree. In fact, the path on the middle pillar from Kether to Tifareth is the path of the High Priestess, whose Hebrew letter is Gimel. The other two paths that make up this pillar are Temperance (Samech) and The World (Tav). So if we read downward from Kether, the first Sephirah, we get the following advice. "To reach Malkuth, The World, we must first establish communication with the not conscious (HPS, Gimel) then we must establish communication between the conscious and not conscious (Temperance, Samech). Once this communication has been established, direct communication with the divine becomes a state of being (The World) and we reach our goal, Malkuth. Of course one can get there by taking either the right or left pillar, but most cabalists consider the middle pillar to be the preferred path to Malkuth.
With this information, the meaning of the spread becomes obvious. In order to learn the lessons necessary to become a more complete, enlightened being The Fool must separate into masculine and feminine. The one must become two.
We see this in so many creation myths. God formed Eve from Adam's rib so he would have a partner, someone different from himself to exchange ideas with. In many pagan mythologies, the goddess was the first and only being. She gave birth to a son who became her consort/partner—again someone opposite, someone with a different point of view. The journey of the major arcana cards is about how these two, which are really the conscious and unconscious minds of the seeker, become aware of each other and establish an intimate and fluent dialogue. When this is accomplished, the seeker has attained Nirvana, or Heaven on Earth, or the fulfillment of all desires. In other words, he has attained The World.

Two who left tell of blessings
Just the sound of Corpus Christi brought one here
The words "Corpus Christi" put Terry Green in line to come here.
The sound of those two words reminded her of Christ and Krispy Kreme. After passing up lines for Dallas and San Antonio, Green, safe in Houston after being rescued from the top of a New Orleans bridge the day before, decided to try Corpus Christi.
"It was just something that hit home," she said. "That's where we're going."
And it's where she has stayed, living a new life after Hurricane Katrina nearly took hers away.
"Katrina was a disaster for many, but that was my blessing," she said. "That was my way out."
Today marks one year since Katrina made landfall on the Louisiana coast. The storm - which hit Louisiana as a Category 3 hurricane - and flooding that followed killed about 2,000 and forced millions from their homes.
While many have filtered back to face the devastation and rebuild their lives, many such as Green remain in Texas and now call it home.
Green moved to the top of her apartment home in New Orleans to wait out the storm but knew she had to leave once the levees broke and the town flooded. She made it to the top of a nearby bridge, where she found her childhood friend Denise Bazile.
Before making it to the bridge, Bazile held fast to a stop sign as water rushed around her. Bazile doesn't say much about that stop sign; the trauma of those days is still close enough to silence her even a year later. Green, too, would rather talk about her blessing than the destruction, the floating bodies she saw and the water.
The two were rescued from the bridge five days after the hurricane hit, and arrived in Houston later that day. There, they found the city's Astrodome filled with thousands of others who had fled the destruction. Their next stop would be Corpus Christi, one of several destinations throughout the state readying for an influx of evacuees.
Once in Corpus Christi, Green got a janitorial job and found a place to live. Bazile also found work and a home.
While the city does not have records for the number of hurricane survivors who settled in the Coastal Bend, the Corpus Christi Housing Authority placed about 110 families in public housing, with about 50 remaining now.
The city funneled $636,675 to people displaced by the hurricane.
Olga Plomarity, with the city's financial services, said that covered rent and furniture for evacuees who requested help. The final payments were made in April, and the city still is awaiting its final reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
For many evacuees, the year has passed slowly. Green and Bazile do not plan to commemorate the hurricane's anniversary today or the day of their rescue.
"Everything that I went through - not that I forgot - but it's behind me," Green said. "I can't go backward. This is my blessing. If I can get past tomorrow, if I can get through today and wake up another time, this is my blessing."
Bazile nodded, having deferred to her boisterous friend for nearly 40 years.
"I don't see what's next," Bazile said.
Both women are unemployed now, but they continue to look for work.
And while family members have returned, these women have no desire to do so.
"To what?" Green said. "This is my destination."
Corpus Christi was a temporary destination to nearly 3,000 other evacuees who sought help at shelters throughout the Coastal Bend. The Red Cross organized shelter efforts at the Memorial Coliseum from Sept. 9 to Sept. 20.
Spokeswoman Sherry Bowers said the group always has prepared for such disasters and volunteers worked here and in the battered Gulf Coast.
In three days, the organization trained 370 volunteers. Inside the Coliseum, those volunteers served 10,450 meals and raised $816,408 to be distributed to 1,063 families.
For some Coastal Bend residents, the destination after Katrina was far from here - it was in the middle of the devastation.
Sarah Dominguez's birthday wish last year was to help hurricane victims.
Sarah, who turns 17 Saturday, traveled to New Orleans with a truckload of water and food days after Katrina devastated the area.
"It makes you feel like a way better person," she said. "I helped them survive."
She'd like to go back to see what's changed in a year.
"I want to go and see the people that we saw, see if they've got everything back together," she said.
Help still is needed.
Earlier this month, a group of members from St. John's United Methodist Church returned from roofing and remodeling homes in Biloxi, Miss.
Many homes and churches in Louisiana and Mississippi still need repair, said Catherine Albert, the youth minister who helped organize the trip.
"People are still living in tents," she said.
Bob Muir calls Corpus Christi his home now. After several days being trapped in New Orleans and shuttled to Houston, the 67-year-old bought a plane ticket to Corpus Christi, knowing he'd enjoy it better than Arkansas, where relief effort organizers planned to send him.
Muir said he has long-term plans to stay here - he even purchased a funeral plot.
"Nobody bothers me here," he said. "The people are great here. It's clean. The town's crime is not bad. It all adds up to a perfect place to live, in my book."
Still, he wants to connect to his past and is building a network of other hurricane survivors. He hosted a gumbo dinner earlier this month for about 130 people and hopes to start Katrina Survivors Care, a group designed to give back to Corpus Christi through community gardens and landscaping help for the city's elderly.
The city has done a lot for Katrina evacuees, he says.
"It's payback time," he said.

|Shelter for the Children:
Orphan Asylums of Old New Orleans
|Female Orphan Asylum, statue of Margaret Haughery in foreground, early 1900's
|"Camp Street Female Orphan Asylum, Camp and Prytania Streets (also known as N. O. Female Orphan Asylum) - The Camp Street Asylum is one of the largest in the city and is managed by the Sisters of Charity. It was founded in 1830 by Sister Regis and is designed as an asylum to educate children transferred from St. Vincent's Infant Asylum. The asylum is ably conducted and its labors are well appreciated. The late Margaret Haughery, the benevolent baker, was for many years one of its best friends and foremost supporters." (Continued below.)
|Above, Female Orphan Asylum and Margaret Haughery statue, 1920; right, First Communion at the orphanage, date unknown.
| From "New Orleans Guide" by James S. Zacharie, published in 1885:
"Owing to the great epidemics that have visited New Orleans, often sweeping away parents and leaving numerous children to the charity of the world, it became necessary to found asylums for the many orphans, and there is perhaps no other city in the United States where there are more establishments of the kind and where such institutions enlist as much popular sympathy. The names of Poydras, Milne, Fink, Sister Regis and kind Margaret Haughery, the baker, are greatly revered for their good works and timely aid in founding and sustaining these homes of mercy. The institutions are supported by moneys derived from bequests, popular contributions, proceeds of charitable entertainments and city and state aid, besides which, great pains are taken to make the institutions as nearly self-supporting as possible, by taking in washing, sewing and doing other manual labor.
"Children who are left without mothers are often placed in the asylums by their fathers for education and religious training. These "half orphans," as they are called, pay a small sum for their maintenance. The asylums are open to inspection at any time and are well worthy of a visit. In some of the asylums, a contribution box is placed near the door for those who desire to assist in this good work to deposit money. The Catholic asylums are foremost in this noble work. Among the many asylums, the following are well worthy of a visit.
"St. Vincent's Infant Asylum, Magazine and Race Streets - St. Vincent's is generally known as the "Baby Asylum," and is the most interesting asylum to visit on account of the number and tender age of its inmates, as well as to see how the patient Sisters of Charity can manage the care of so many little ones. It serves as the Foundling Asylum of the city, and contains over two hundred children. As the little inmates are entirely helpless, all strangers should not forget to drop some contribution in the box, as it will assist the kind sisters in their good work." (Continued below.)
|Left & above, some of the children of St. Vincent's, date unknown, probably 1930's or '40's. These two photos and the current photo of St. Vincent's below were shared by Don Bourgeois.
|Left, St. Vincent's, between 1920-1930;
above, St. Vincent's, 2010.
|"St. Elizabeth's Asylum, Napoleon Avenue and Coliseum Street - This asylum faces Napoleon Avenue and is a large three-story brick building with a mansard roof. The institution is under the care of the Sisters of charity and is to a great extent self-supporting. After the female orphans at the Camp Street Asylum have reached a certain age, they are transferred to this asylum and are taught to sew and do fine needle work. As soon as they reach womanhood, situations are found for them and, for a time, the good sisters look after their welfare."
|St. Elizabeth's, date unknown
|"Jewish Orphan's Home, Jackson Avenue and Chippewa Streets - The Jewish Home is one of the best managed institutions in the city and is the pride of the Jewish citizens, under whose fostering care it is placed. The children are well taken care of and educated in their faith and are the object of much devotion on the part of the Jewish community, who, with their proverbial charity to each other, maintain almost wholly, without outside assistance, this noble asylum." (Continued below.)
Right, the second Jewish Orphan's Home,
ca. 1890's; below, the first home, 1885.
|"House of Good Shepherd, Bienville Street (also known as Boys House of Refuge) - The House of the Good Shepherd is one of the useful institutions of the city and is designed as a reformatory. The buildings are very extensive and comprise working rooms, dormitories, chapel and other departments. The institution, which is under the management of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, is divided into several distinct parts, one portion being for those who are placed there by their parents and another for those committed by the city magistrates. All are employed in various household duties, and do the washing and sewing of the hotels, steamboats and families.
|In the background, House of Good Shepherd; cemetery in the foreground is described as
Cypress Grove Cemetery, but I think it may be the Masonic Cemetery; date unknown.
| "Poydras Male Orphan Asylum, St. Charles Avenue and Dufossat Street / Poydras Female Asylum, Magazine Street and Peter's Avenue - When Julien Poydras, a wealthy citizen of New Orleans, died, he left all of his property for the benefit of the poor and with these means, two asylums have been erected and are maintained in a worthy manner. These institutions are managed by a board of directors and the children are well taken care of and educated with great care.
"Episcopal Home, Jackson Avenue and St. Thomas Street - This asylum for girls, under the direction of the Sisterhood of the Protestant Episcopal Church, occupies a large brick building on Jackson Avenue and is well managed institution. The girls, under the pious sisters, are educated and well cared for.
"St. Mary's Orphan Boy's Asylum, Chartres and Mazant Streets - This institution occupies nearly a square of ground and consists of a series of buildings, which the patient priests have gradually built and added to as the years rolled by and the funds came in.

|I've come across several more orphan asylums in New Orleans' long charitable history to add to Mr. Zacharie's list and there have, undoubtedly, been many others through the years. Other orphanages I've read about: Evangelical Lutheran Bethlehem Orphan Asylum, Fink Orphan Asylum - under the auspices of Protestant Churches, Immaculate Conception Girls Asylum - operated by Sister Marianites of the Holy Ghost, German Protestant Orphan Asylum, St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum - under the auspices of the Sisters of Notre Dame, Lafon Orphan Boy's Home, Liners' Harvest Home, Mount Carmel Asylum for Girls - managed by Sisters of Mount Carmel, Sacred Heart Orphan Asylum - under the auspices of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, Protestant Orphans Asylum, Providence Asylum, St. Alphonsus Orphanage - operated by the Sisters of Mercy, St. John Berchman's Asylum for Girls - operated by the Sisters of the Holy Family, Roberson Memorial Home, Societe Francaise de Bienfaisance Asylum, an orphanage run by the Little Sisters of the Poor, St. Mary's Catholic Orphan Boys Asylum - managed by Sister Marianites of Holy Cross, the Waldo Burton Memorial Home.

Information sent via e-mail is not considered confidential or privileged unless we have agreed to represent you. By sending this e-mail, you confirm that you have read, understand and agree to this notice.
Burr & Forman is the leading law firm for economic development in the Southeast. Our Economic Development practice started when Lee Thuston served as Alabama Counsel for the negotiations that brought Mercedes-Benz to Alabama in 1993. Since that time, Lee and Warren Matthews have represented new economic development projects and expansions that have brought over $16 billion of capital investment and the creation of more than 25,000 new jobs to the Southeast. We have an established multidisciplinary team of lawyers dedicated to the start-up of economic development projects. Practice areas of our economic development team include:
We have extensive experience assisting clients with multi-state and intra-state site evaluation and location. We maintain close working relationships with professional site consultants and are a natural compliment to their services. We have worked as part of the site selection project teams for projects such as the Mercedes-Benz plant located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, KIA Motors plant located in West Point, Georgia, the ThyssenKrupp Steel mills located in Mobile County, Alabama, and the Jack Daniel Cooperage project located in Lawrence County, Alabama.
One of the strengths of the practice group is our hands-on experience with negotiating incentives packages for economic development clients. One benefit is that when we negotiate an incentives package, our loyalties are not compromised given that we represent the prospective business and not the state or local governments or utilities. We have served as company counsel on a large number of the significant incentives packages negotiated in the Southeast. In addition to the projects listed above, we have assisted existing clients with the negotiation of incentives packages for major plant expansions.
An often-overlooked but critical part of an economic development project is the incentive implementation process. A significant amount of time is often required to ensure that the incentives offered by the state and local governments and utilities are delivered in a satisfactory manner that meets the company's schedule.
Our business and tax attorneys provide guidance to the start-up company for issues relating to choice of business entity, corporate governance and tax structures.
Our Construction group possesses extensive experience representing owners from start-to-finish with all aspects of their construction needs in economic development projects. This involves negotiating project manager/general contractor agreements, overseeing the bidding process, negotiation of contractor packages, resolving claims, change order, and pay request disputes. We have developed and implemented extensive claims management processes for large economic development projects.
Our real estate attorneys have extensive experience in working through title, survey, and other due diligence issues which impact the automotive industry, including negotiating easements and other agreements with railroads, leases and licenses with on-site and off-site automotive suppliers and warehouses, and lease-purchase agreements with governmental entities.
Our Environmental group advises and assists clients on matters relating to permit requirements and related regulatory compliance. This involves identification of environmental regulatory issues, identification of relevant sequence of permits where applicable, negotiation with regulatory officials as to content and timing of permits, and advice on compliance with related regulatory obligations. Where necessary we represent clients in any challenges by third parties to environmental permits. We also frequently assist clients in identifying consultants and coordinating and reviewing their work to assure that it meets local environmental requirements and time limits.
We have extensive experience negotiating infrastructure contracts with the providers of electricity, natural gas, water and sewer, and telecommunications services.
While we do not represent any state and local governments or public utilities, we have established a solid working relationship with them over the years. We often act as a conduit between our clients and state and local governments and public utilities.

something that caught my eye was when Mr. Watney said that its not one major event in your life that defines you, what defines you and your hard work is all the past steps that took you to get there. that to me really stood out because that is so true you can't let one moment in your entire life define you.

Great food and amazing service make this a marvelous experience in an out of the way location. I guess if you work or live waaay downtown--or in Jersey?-- it is convenient. For us, it was an expensive cab ride both ways. But if you're downtown, give it a try: you'll be impressed.

When we sat down a ramp pizza was on the menu and grilled ramps were offered, however by the time we were served ramp season was over. We dined here on Mother's Day and the kitchen must have been overwhelmed. The place is comfortable and not loud at all. The servers know the menu, are very courteous but items were leaving the kitchen so slowly that the servers were tentative to come to the table. The hostess and all servers were apologetic and tried to make a LONG wait for food right. The crab salad is amazing, the portions are fair and the whole grilled bronzino was wonderful. From the time we sat it took 2 hours to receive our entrees. The hostess "made right" with us however I am not sure we would ever return.

So disappointing. I had been looking forward to this meal for two months. I loved Tabla and was so excited that those same Indian flavors would be applied to another fish centric Danny Meyer restaurant. The menu reads beautifully with promise of an amazing meal. Unfortunately, mostly everything was bland. The Hamachi appetizer and whole sea bass were flavorless. Flaked Halibut had nice Indian flavors, but tiny. Service was wonderful...

I recently had lunch at North End with an associate of mine and 2 of my most important clients. It was really an overall positive experience- the decor is fantastic, table was immaculate, service was attentive and food was great. The server we had accidentally spilled a whole glass of red wine on the front of my suit but the service director made it a point to apologize in person and gave me her buisness card, offering to handle dry cleaning. She made it a point to follow up after I contacted her and sent me a HAND WRITTEN note with instructions for VIP attention next time I visit. Which I will soon. This type of courtesy is hard to come by in even some of the most expensive restaurants in NYC and I've been to many.

Beautiful restaurant. Fabulous food. Great service. What more can you want?
Posted by Vicki Winters on 02/10/2012
First of all, the room and the kitchen are so beautiful. We had sashimi, halibut, clam pizza (so good), pork chop with a detached bone, and loved every bit of it. The chocolate cake was not stellar but the ice cream that was with it was wonderful. I would gladly return to try a few more delica-seas.

Went for dinner the other night. Had a snack at the bar prior to being seated for dinner. The first thing I noticed was there seems to be a lack of direction with the food. Steak taco at the bar was tasty, small, however uninspiring. They claim to focus on fish but it seems to be more focused on brunch types of egg dishes, albeit good, it left me saying "ehh". My husbands duck was ok, however came out extremely undercooked...the fat was barely rendered. The waiter took care of it and was very frindly. We will go back but I really hope to see the menu tightened up and a little more soul put into the menu and place.

Let me know if that would work out for you.

What causes sores?
Sores have many causes. The type and severity of sore varies with the underlying cause.
Common causes of sores include the herpes simplex virus (resulting in a cold or genital sore), allergic reactions, eczema, and chickenpox. Extended bed rest or use of a wheelchair may cause pressure sores. Sores may also occur as a symptom of an underlying disease or serious condition, such as diabetes, leukemia, or skin cancer.
Diseases and disorders known to cause sores
Common diseases and disorders known to cause sores include:
- Autoimmune disorders
- Bleeding disorders such as hemophilia (rare hereditary disorder in which the blood does not clot normally)
- Cancers
- Dermatitis (rash)
- Diabetes (chronic disease that affects your body's ability to use sugar for energy)
- Eczema
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD, also called peripheral vascular disease, or PVD, which is a narrowing or blockage of arteries due to a buildup of fat and cholesterol on the artery walls, which limits blood flow to the extremities)
- Peripheral neuropathy (disorder that causes dysfunction of nerves that lie outside your brain and spinal cord)
Infections that may cause sores
Sores can result from a number of infections including:
- Cellulitis (infection of the skin and underlying soft tissue)
- Chickenpox
- Herpes simplex virus
- Influenza (flu)
- Papillomavirus infection (plantar warts)
- Paronychia (infection of the cuticle)
- Scabies
- Sexually transmitted infections such as syphilis
- Shingles (herpes zoster)
Conditions and situations that may cause sores
Common conditions and situations that may cause sores include:
- Bite and sting injuries
- Drug allergies to medications such as penicillin or codeine
- Extended bed rest
- Food allergies (allergic reaction to certain foods)
- Medication side effects or reactions
- Stress or irritation
- Trauma
- Weakened immune system
- Wheelchair use
Serious or life-threatening causes of sores
In some cases, sores may be a symptom of a serious or life-threatening condition that should be immediately evaluated in an emergency setting. These conditions include:
- Anaphylaxis (life-threatening allergic reaction)
- Cellulitis (infection of the skin and underlying tissue)
- Sepsis (life-threatening bacterial blood infection)
Questions for diagnosing the cause of sores
To diagnose your condition, your doctor or licensed health care practitioner will ask you several questions related to your sores including:
- How long have you had the sores?
- Have you had similar sores previously?
- Are you experiencing any other symptoms along with your sores?
- Are you taking any medications?
What are the potential complications of sores?
Because sores can be due to serious diseases, failure to seek treatment can result in serious complications and permanent damage. Once the underlying cause is diagnosed, it is important for you to follow the treatment plan that you and your health care professional design specifically for you to reduce the risk of potential complications including:
- Organ failure or dysfunction
- Severe discomfort or pain
- Shock
- Skin ulcerations and infections
- Spread of cancer
- Spread of infection

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Barbara Mitts that let my fingers free Wanted mitt to walk the dog and still be able to get the mail out of the mailbox. These mitt/gloves do it for me. April 20, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lawrence Nice combination of features and material. I bought these mitts primarily for cold weather photography. The material is nice and thick w/o being bulky and seems quite wind-resistant. The flap over the fingers opens and closes easily, although the little magnet that holds the flap open has to be positioned carefully to grab. As is the case with any fingerless glove I've used, they're a bit difficult to get off. For really cold weather, I'm considering getting a pair of oversized mitts to put on over these (I've become less cold tolerant as I've gotten older). January 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by John Surprisingly warm for a light weight mitt As advertised! This mitt is comfortable and wind proof. Not bulky so easy to keep handy in your pocket or pack until needed. January 13, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Derrek Windproof and Warm These mitts are super versitle. I use them for liner mitts while touring, for hiking and even cold-weather dog walking. They block all but the strongest gusts, even then I can barely feel breeze. The wind blocking membrane allows them to be fairly thin yet warm when in mitten mode. They are easily converted to fingerless gloves by popping the magnetic button and flipping the mitt covering. This allows for great dexterity while fiddling with clippy-things. The one improvement I'd suggest would be a way to expose the thumb, or possibly adding some grippy texture to the thumb tip. I haven't found this detail critical as the material is thin and tight enough to allow good dexterity, but nevertheless, this addition would complete an otherwise excellent mitten. December 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michael Practical, comfortable and affordable. Great product for working or for flexibility when outdoors and trying to keep your hands warm and fingers free. Great for working with the dogs or tying lines while patrolling. I enjoy the freedom and light weight feel of the gloves et the ability to keep warm at the same time. Very affordable for what you get! December 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Richard finger dexterity makes this ideal for winter photography This is a very versatile piece of winter kit. The mitt is warm and when folded back, one can use your fingers for fine motor applications. I find this mitt/fingerless glove combo ideal for using photo gear. The magnet for folding the mitt back really works well. February 17, 2014

text: The running joke on Twitter early in this afternoon's game between the Bruins and the Columbus Blue Jackets was that Loui Eriksson must've seen the highlights last night from Tyler Seguin's four point performance against the Jets, because he was clearly having his best game in a Bruins uniform. That trend continued as Eriksson scored his first goal of the season and made it count, backhanding a Patrice Bergeron feed past Columbus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky just 49 seconds into the third period for what proved to be the game winning goal. Chris Kelly and Milan Lucic also scored, while Tuukka Rask earned his third victory with a 26 save performance.

Anneka supports the following:
TV presenter Anneka Tanaka (previously Svenska) is a Wildlife Presenter, animal rescuer & Green Guru who is well known in the UK for her work with animals on and off the screen. Anneka has drawn much of her inspiration off her mum's late partner Ben Metcalfe, who was one of the original Greenpeace founders.
Before working in natural history TV, Anneka fronted the successful movie show outTHERE which ran for 3 years. Most recently though, she has appeared as a dog & wolf expert in many well known animal TV programs. Also she makes regular appearances at various corporate dog shows around the UK.
In late 2011, Anneka co-founded a new charitable organisation called K-9 Angels alongside two media colleagues Victoria Eisermann and Pola Pospieszalska. This organisation was set up to provide a link between dog rescuers in dangerous countries of the world and adopters in UK countries. So far in 2012, the trio have helped home over 120 stray dogs from Romania alongside long established charity Romanian Animal Aid. 2012 will see K-9 Angels move their work program into Thailand where they have started to help rescue and re-home 'meat' dogs to the UK.
Anneka's love for animals started when she grew up in a household surrounded by animals. She was working as a junior member of the RSPCA by the age of 5 raising money for the charity through local fundraising events she organised. At the age of 8, Anneka passed by an ALF stand in her local high street and was given leaflets describing animal abuse around the globe. This horror converted her to vegetarianism and helped shape her desire to contribute towards stopping animal cruelty around the globe. By the age of 15 Anneka had already saved numerous animals and her house became a haven for all manner of adopted and saved creatures. Anneka started to train as a vet, but pulled the ropes on this career due to her being unwilling to euthanize animals. Anneka decided instead to focus all of her animal saving efforts into TV and conservation instead. Anneka left school with a degree in TV & Environmental Studies.
Anneka has travelled to many countries working on conservation projects surrounding some of the globe's most endangered animals. She is a strong supporter for many animal charities including The Animal Asia Foundation, VIVA (Vegetarians Voice for Animals), Born Free, The UK Wolf Sanctuary and Greenpeace and has appeared alongside wonderful personalities such as Joanna Lumley and Paul McCartney in many of their campaigns and videos.
Anneka writes for many of the top wildlife and dog magazines on a regular basis and also is a guru on eco friendly alternatives to modern day living and eco friendly food.

This perfectly sums up Charlie Crist:
When asked [on CNN's State of the Union] if Florida voters have a right to know which side he'd choose, Crist dodged the question. "I think they know the way I'm going to go, I'm going to go the way that is best for them," Crist said. "[…] I don't have to say I'm going to caucus with the Democrats or the Republicans."
He didn't really dodge it, then. He said, no, the voters don't get to know which side he'd choose. It is hard to tell which is his defining characteristic — contempt for the voters or an utter lack of principle. As to the latter, here's a Crist classic: "Crist reaffirmed that he would have voted against the bill, but stopped short of calling for its repeal — something he called for in March and something Rubio has consistently called for since launching his campaign."
Nor does he have any views, not that he'll tell us, on Sarah Palin:
In 2008, Crist told CNN's "American Morning" that he thought then-vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin "would do a great job" if she had to run the country. Crist's present thoughts on the matter were markedly different.
"Doesn't really matter," he said when asked if he felt the same way about Palin today.
"I'm not going to issue a statement on Sarah," Crist added.
Even Arlen Specter was not this bad — at least he told you what his current views were. It would be hard to find a better example of what voters detest these days. Is there a yen in Florida for a squirrelly politician whose sole principle is "whatever is good for me"? I think it unlikely.

Sgt. David Jordan knows how hard it is for soldiers to be separated from their children and families, especially during the holidays. Safely home after two tours in Iraq, Sgt. Jordan learned about our Student Council's interest in community service projects from his sister who works at Pace. He was only too happy to help get packages of handmade ornaments and hot chocolate mix to his brothers in arms still on duty.
Sgt. Jordan connected Pace with Sgt. Joseph T. Duncan and project "Any Soldier" to get the parcels to soldiers in Afghanistan. According to Sgt. Duncan, "Getting packages with anything – letters, food, clothes make their day!" He says it is very harsh over there during this time. Some have new born babies and others have families and pets that they have to leave with others and not see sometimes a year or more. They have only their brothers (other soldiers) to spend time with.
The students are learning that
whatever their personal challenges, helping other people can make them feel good about themselves. Plans are already underway to have Council members visit residents of a senior care center in the coming months.
This past weekend the Alpha Upsilon chapter of Delta Sigma Pi from Miami University in Ohio helped Pace in their annual Race for Pace 5K outside Pittsburgh. In an effort to give back to the community while on a professional networking
event, our brother's rallied behind the brief but extraordinary knowledge we had about the mission of Pace. Throughout the morning our chapter learned from the school about the tremendous impact and presence this institution has within the Pittsburgh community. »Read More
When I first came to Pace Learning Center I didn't want to be here. There were only a couple of kids, but i got a lot of attention and made some friends. I had a bad temper and always was getting held at the YMCA before and after school.
I really like my teachers here and am really good at doing my work, especially math. So I finished kindergarten and first grade, then I got a new teacher at PLC for second grade. My mom really wanted me to go back to my public school and I wanted to go back too.
So I started
to go there for a half day in the afternoon for a couple of weeks. Things went really good and right after Thanksgiving I went back to my public school permanently. At PLC I learned to control my anger and be a positive role model to the little kids. I only needed to be restrained one time the whole time I was at PLC. I also learned to be safe and to use my safety plan when I get mad.
~PLC student

These are awesome! Great ideas.
As a teacher, and mom of little kids, I'm going to whip some of these up and put them to really good use!
We also travel a lot and they'd be great for portable games (on airplanes and waiting around) because they're light and small and really if you did lose a piece or something you can just make it again.
Thanks for sharing!

THANK YOU!! These are darling!! I just made up a few with some scrap felt that I had from thrift store finds. I had to make some alterations, based on what colors I had, like a grandma/grandpa face with changable parts....no brown or other regular hair parts--but I have to say Grandma & Grandpa were never so much fun! :)

Hi Laura,
I'm an editorial assistant at Parents working on a story about DIY busy bags. Our editors loved the felt scene activity on your blog (http://happyhawkins.blogspot.jp/2011/12/homemade-christmas-gift-1.html), and I'm hoping you can give me some more information about it, so that we might be able to include it in the story. First, I'd like to make sure that this was your original idea. Second, we'd like to get your permission to recreate your idea for Parents magazine. If you agree and your idea is chosen for the piece, we will recreate the craft, photograph it in our NYC studio, and you and your blog will receive a credit on the page. If you're up for it, I will send you more information.

Scott Pack's Advent Calendar
Fri, 04 Dec 2009 06:18
Our friend Scott Pack is doing a nice series of Advent Calendar posts on his always-excellent blog Me and My Big Mouth.
Today's advent calendar selection, he tells us, "comes with added video. It is eight minutes long but, trust me, these are eight minutes that any book lover will delight in."
Pictorial Webster's: Inspiration to Completion from John Carrera on Vimeo.
Sadly those beautiful handmade editions are a little bit out of my price range but thankfully, just in time for Christmas, Chronicle Books have issued an impressive trade edition which captures much of the intricacy and wonder of the original.
Inspired by the chance discovery of an old Pictorial Webster's Dictionary, John M. Carrera, a bookbinder and printer, decided to recreate this wonderful old book and embarked upon a ten year odyssey which is outlined in the video above.
Locating the archive of all the old engraving blocks he catalogued and restored them, eventually getting to the point where he could begin reprinting, by hand, hundreds of pages. Seriously, if you haven't clicked play on the video yet do it now. It is one of the best things you will see this year. I guarantee it.
I am struggling to think of any book lover I know who wouldn't find this volume a complete delight. Any artist or designer either for that matter. If you do decide to give it to someone this Christmas you should probably include a link to the video as well.
Pictorial Webster's: A Visual Dictionary of Curiosities by John M. Carrera is out now.

can't say if i am moved by the video at all. it seems beyond me why the obsession with an (out of date) webster dictionary. i mean, i love reading books, i collect books and i look for new books. but who reads a dictionary?

My husband thinks baby-making has become a chore. How do I get him interested again?
My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 6 months. I've been tracking my cycle but my husband says he doesn't want to know when I'm ovulating because then he loses interest in sex. He feels that trying to conceive has become like housework. But how are we supposed to get pregnant if he won't take part in the planning? Help!

I was going through the same with my husband, he said "it was too much pressure", so I kept the information to myself and initiated sex, he loved it. Recently he decided that he was going to do whatever it takes to help the situation so now he initiates sex every couple of days. Good Luckposted 12/13/2006 by momwannabe11
I couldn't help but relate to the husband with the low sex drive. I kept thinking it was bc I wasn't desireable... lost weight, longer hair sexy stuff. NOPE none of it worked. I did urge him to get tested for testosterone levels and his were very low. Mine were high for a women (yet I'm not manly!!!) It's just the way your born... I did end up leaving him and I am trying now with my second husband who's drive matches or surpasses my own. It's such a relief... but I would recommend a hormone test they can give your man meds to level him out if he's low, or recommend a change in diet. My ex had refused and his low hormones were most likely due to alcohol. Best of luck.posted 12/13/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm soooo glad I read this thread. My poor sweet husband is feeling the effects of baby making becoming a "chore". Sometimes the pressure is hard on him, then he's hard on himself that he can't live up to his "part" (he says) I know he wants a baby, but now it's up to me to spice it up a little. I'm excited! We've been communicating more and talking more about our fantasies. I think this will even get us to understand each other more sexually :)posted 11/13/2006 by kelly.brehm
My husband and I just started TTC a month ago. I am afraid that I am never going to get pregnant because my husband has a low sex drive. Any advice for getting him in the mood?posted 05/04/2006 by mlessley
Hey, TXGirl! Is your husband a workaholic or is his job very demanding? This could be the reason for a low sex drive. Maybe try to spend more time together even if it is just relaxing in front of the TV, or going for a stroll. Then maybe afterwards suggest sex and it might happen. Good luck!posted 01/13/2006 by Special#3
I have the same problem. Only we just started 6 months ago. the thing is my husband has two children of his own from his ex- girlfriend.(We just got married). So he know how it feels to be a father. but I never had children before but was trying with my ex boyfriend for 6 years and never got pregnant. I tried going to the doctors taking clomid with my ex IUI insemination.Test After Test. There was no reason way I couldn't get pregnant ,it just didn't happen. Now my husband and I are trying together and every time I Ovulate he's to tired. Or sick and it hurts because he knows How much having a baby means to me. He wants a baby with me but he's just not trying hard enough. I feel like it doesn't matter to him. He knows what it's like to be a father and he could care less rather or not he has another. I cry alot and feel like giving up. I keep asking God for help because I don't know what to do. Should I let my dreams of having a baby stay a dream? Stop trying.posted 11/14/2005 by tahshaltone
Hi, I believe I am having the same problem. My husband and I have 1 beautiful child together and I desperately want another and so does he, but the only problem is when we are having sex he all of a sudden stops and he is unable to perform. At first I thought that he was unattracted or it was my fault but after reading all of your comments I believe it to be that there is too much stress on the fact that we are making a baby, we aren't even enjoying the fact of making love, He says that when he's interested he can perform because he likes the challenge of me saying no, i don't feel like it. Help!!! What can we try next?posted 11/17/2004 by jacobs_mommy
Dear TXgirl we have the same problem. We have a beautiful relationship, our marriage is wonderful, but our sex life is weak. We decided to start trying. We only have sex when he wants to, which is maybe once a month. I try to seduce him,but he is too tired or not in the mood. I don't know what else to do!posted 09/09/2004 by sybil&sam
Gina, Tell your husband that 6 months is nothing! Our struggle has been going on for 3+ years. My husband has even gone through a surgical procedure to help his sperm count. If your husband can't handle knowing when you ovulate, I would let him in on the reality of it! It isn't always the most wild and passionate sex you have ever had but like some of the other couples on this site, your 6 months could start turning into years. Get things straight NOW. Good luck.posted 09/07/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
We tried tracking for over a year & planning to have sex on those days. Finally, we both relaxed, had fun & got pregnant right away. Not to say this will work for everyone, but that was our experience & I think it definitely gave me something to think about now that we are thinking about #2.posted 07/28/2004 by a BabyCenter Member

Re: And the bullies back...
I wasn't really bullied in school, but I wasn't really one of the cool kids that fit in to the popular cliques either. I was an odd combination of jock and brainiac, so I didn't really fit into either group. So I'd say I was ignored by the "cool" kids in high school, but not really threatened much.
But to get to the other's points here - I went to my 10th year high school reunion, and suddenly all the "cool" kids wanted to be my best friend. I had a real good job and a beautiful wife, and it didn't take them very long to realize that the life they were living in high school wasn't real at all. Once they graduated, it all fell apart, and many of them never really recovered.
High school may seem like it lasts a long time, and problems at the time are real, but remember those years are fleeting in the grand scheme of life. I guarantee you will look back ten years from now and either laugh or shake your head at what you thought was critical at the time.

A speculative render of a still speculative model – the BMW M2 Convertible. According to BMW insider Scott26:
Such a concept remains a possibility, especially with the M2 becoming a series production car. The rear lights are similiar but in the actual car they wrap around in the opposite direction as proved by a recent bodyshell spy photograph. Aerodynamics are still too dramatic.
Another resident artist, Harold Wood, renders a potential future BMW M2 Coupe. The M2 has not yet been officially confirmed nor denied by BMW, but if the 1M coupe's success and its following is any barometer, we bet on yes for a future M2 coupe.
We'd like to make clear that the previous announcement of the 1M coupe's end of production in December 2011 is specific for the US market. The production schedule we refer to for such info is US-market specific. Whether the 1M remains in production beyond that for the other markets remains to be seen.
According to the official BMW model production schedule (attached below), the 1M coupe will end production in December 2011, making a total production run of 10 months. The chart also indicates that there will not be a second (2012) model year. If recent speculations comes to fruition, the successor to the 1M coupe will be the BMW M2 Coupe, as BMW will switch the next generation small BMW coupe to the 2-series badge.
From time to time, BMW trademark filings provide clues on future BMW models. Our latest finding could be related to the recent speculation coming from both Autobild and SCOTT26. BMW is said to be considering launching a 2-series line comprising of the 2-series coupe (F22), the 2-series convertible (F23) and M-variants of these cars. These are essentially the next generation 1-series coupe and convertible, but renamed as the 2-series.
As seen in the screenshots from the German patent office below, BMW has filed "M2″ and "BMW M2″ … CONTINUED

Get your career in tip-top shape with a bachelor's in Health Promotion.
As the U.S. Department of Labor reports, jobs requiring a degree in Health Promotion are on the rise. Growth in this field is a direct result of a population increasingly concerned about living healthy lifestyles to enjoy life and to reduce healthcare costs. Careers in public health departments are common. You may also find yourself working for a nonprofit organization or in a hospital, managed care facility or private business.
Take a closer look at the types of careers available in the Health Promotion field:
Health Educators
Health Education, in a nutshell, is about teaching individuals how to attain and maintain a healthy lifestyle. These educators are responsible for creating and implementing health education programs and materials and making sure people have easy access to those services and information. Duties often include supervising employees who run the health programs, advocating for new health policies at the government level and collecting and analyzing data to evaluate and improve programs.
Community Health Workers
Assist individuals and communities to adopt healthy behaviors. Conduct outreach for medical personnel or health organizations to implement programs in the community that promote, maintain and improve individual and community health. Advocate for individuals and community health needs.
Transfer of Credit
If you're a student who wants to transfer to SNHU or if you simply want to finish what you've started, we try to make transferring as easy as possible. We'll accept up to 90 transferred academic credits and automatically complete an official credit evaluation as part of the application review process.

Reynolds Corners Rotary donates to Haiti reliefWritten by Kristen Criswell | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The Rotary Club of Reynolds Corners (RCRC) donated $10,000 to Rotary International to help with relief efforts in Haiti.
"We're always looking for people in need. Rotary's motto is service above self. Under that motto, we want to be able to give it to people who need it the most," said Tamara Riggs, president of RCRC.
RCRC member, Ford B. Cauffiel, gave a $5,000 donation, which the club of 45 members then matched, she said.
"We're all humans and they're human. If children were starving to death in this room, how could you stand to have a nice lunch and not help the starving children? This is a terrible calamity," Cauffiel said. "We all have feelings because we're human and this was something we should do quickly. I'm willing because I've been successful in life, and have everything I need to donate $5,000 and I asked the club to match me."
The donation provided funds for tents, food rations and other aid in Haiti that was dispersed by Rotary International.
Cauffiel has a history of giving through the 20-year program Students for Other Students (SOS), which he founded. SOS pays students $8 an hour to tutor other "at-risk" students. Rotaries around the state are matching funds to help fund the project that helps 15 school districts throughout Ohio, he said.

Psychedelic Medicines and the Mind Weekend of February 7-9 , 2014
$405.00 – $1,750.00 (based on accommodation type)This workshop's start date has passed.
Workshop Details
Psychedelics are among the most interesting and poorly understood of all the psychoactive substances. They produce a variety of complex effects on the brain and mind, including intensification of thoughts and feelings, alterations of sensory perception, and loosening of psychological defenses. Because of these complex effects, psychedelics are powerful probes of the connection between brain physiology and consciousness, one of the most deeply mysterious questions in contemporary science.
In their plant and fungal forms, psychedelics have probably been used by humans for millennia for therapeutic, ritualistic, and religious purposes. Modern scientific research with psychedelics has taken place for more than a century and was one of the driving forces in the early days of biological psychiatry. The widespread popular use of some of these substances in the 1960s contributed to legal regulation that closed down human research. However, after 25 years of quiescence, human clinical research with psychedelics is returning to mainstream science.
This workshop will cover the complex history, botany, chemistry, psychology, and sociology of psychedelics, leading up to the re-emergence of multiple arenas of contemporary research addressing the medicinal and spiritual aspects of these substances.

Adirondacks Area Map
Getting To & Around Adirondacks
The best way to get around the Adirondacks is by car, whether it be your own or a rental. Having your own set of wheels enables you to experience the region's gorgeous scenery at your own pace. Plus, the Adirondacks' ideal location (just five hours northwest of Boston and four hours north of New York City), makes the area easily accessible in a day's drive. That said, hopping on the Amtrak from New York City's Penn Station to Lake Placid is an excellent alternative if you don't plan on bringing a vehicle. Another option: flying into Adirondack Regional Airport (SLK) in Saranac Lake or Plattsburgh International Airport (PBG) and renting a car from there. Either way, you should plan to get behind the wheel if you're looking to visit a variety of areas and attractions. If you would rather get the lay of the land from the sea, you'll find boating is a popular means of getting around specific regions.Getting To & Around Adirondacks»
