Central Cord Syndrome
Central cord syndrome (CCS) is a type of incomplete spinal cord injury. CCS is marked by damage to the nerve fibers that bring messages from the brain to the body. This condition affects how you can use your arms and hands, and in some cases, your legs. There may be a loss of sensation and motor control.
Spinal Cord
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
CCS is caused by damage to the central part of the spinal cord. This damage may occur when the neck is hyperextended. This can be associated with:
- Syringomyelia (syrinx)—a cyst in the spinal cord
- Loss of blood supply to the area
- Bleeding in the spinal cord
- Swelling
Common causes of injury include:
- Trauma (such as car accident, sports injuries, falls)
- Degenerative condition of spine (often found in older people)
- Pre-existing condition, such as being born with a narrow spine
CSS can also be due to:
- Structural problems
- Tumors within the spinal cord
Males over 50 are more likely to have this condition. Risk factors that increase your chances of developing CCS include:
- Autoimmune disorder (such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica)
- Pre-existing condition (such as narrow spinal canal, spinal cord disease, tethered cord)
- Participation in certain sports (such as wrestling, diving)
If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to CCS. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions.
- Unable to lift arms and hands completely, or numbness and tingling
- Difficulty with fine motor control (such as buttoning a shirt)
- Muscle weakness in legs, difficulty walking
- Loss of bladder control
If CCS is due to trauma, symptoms usually come quickly. Sometimes, however, symptoms may come more slowly.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. A neurologic exam may also be done.
Your doctor may want pictures of your spinal cord. These can be taken with:
- MRI scan
- CT scan
- Myelogram
- X-ray
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Rehab can take a long time for some patients. If you are young and have more muscle function, you have a better chance of recovering.
Treatment options include the following:
Nonsurgical Treatment
In most cases, surgery is not needed. Often treatment involves:
- Restricting neck movement
- Giving steroids
- Doing physical and occupational therapy
Surgery is needed if there is a large compression of the spinal cord fibers. Surgery may also be done after a period of recovery. For example, if you still have cord compression after a recovery period.
To help reduce your chance of getting a spinal cord injury, take the following steps:
- Avoid diving if you do not know how deep the water is.
- Always wear a seatbelt.
- Do not drink and drive. Do not ride with someone who has been drinking.
- Remove obstacles in your house, like throw rugs, that could cause falls.
- Use safe methods and proper equipment when playing sports.
- Secure firearms.

"Kobler Family Wineyards" Syrah Pax 2006

Have to say I agree about spending $45 on 1 bottle compared to $15 for three.
Recently I've been exploring domestic rhone blends, and to do so I've pushed my normal price rage up into the $30s and $40s. Though I've enjoyed some of the wines I've tried, and some may have even "merited" a price point at that level, I've found that my visceral enjoyment level didn't necessarily go up with the price. As you mentioned in your post, I'm likely to find 3 wines for $15 or 2 for $20 that I will enjoy just as much as the $40 bottle. Perhaps that's indicative of still learning my way through the world of wine, but that's the way it is.

Hi Jeff, thanks for the comments on the wine. I would love for you to try the new wines under Donelan, they seem like they would be in your palate preference. As for price, so many things go into it, but honestly we may have to agree to disagree. Given the breadth of wines I've tasted, I think we're offering a decent deal relatively speaking.
All the best,
Tyler Thomas

Medium coverage

Really nice medium coverage concealer, I don't really highlight because I don't have decent skills to do that, maybe I will use it as eyeshadow primer. Happy with this product.
Good product
Posted by 5603951752989213904 on May 27, 2015
The concealer is not as strong as full coverage one, but it is still good to mask small imperfections. The highlighter is nice and bright, does the job well. Color of the concealer doesn't really matter for medium skin tone - I accidentally got two different ones and they both work just fine on me
Does the job
Posted by 5443640410637759858 on Mar 08, 2014
This is good value for money, I would recommend. Not the best out there but I love that it's 2 in one. Easy to apply. The highlighter is a little shimmery which makes it perfect for the brow
good product for the price!!
Posted by 5535342647020484370 on Apr 05, 2014
I have really bad under eye circles, so barely anything can fully cover them, but this does a decent enough job on days when they aren't too bad! Definitely worth the price you pay for it!

Allison Jones won Team USA's first medal of the London 2012 Paralympic Games, a bronze in the 3,000 meter C1-C3 pursuit.
VIDEO: Megan Fisher wins silver
VIDEO: Megan Fisher's medal ceremony
VIDEO: Allison Jones wins bronze
LONDON - Team USA wasted little time winning its first medals of the 2012 Paralympic Games as track cyclists Allison Jones (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Megan Fisher (Missoula, Mont.) both captured medals on the first day of competition.
Six-time Paralympian, Jones, who competed in the 3,000 meter C1-C3 pursuit, was technically the first medal winner for the United States. She defeated Germany's Denise Schindler with a time of 4:27.793 to win a bronze medal. For Jones, who also competes in alpine skiing, it marks the sixth Paralympic medal of her career (two gold, three silver and one bronze).
To say Jones was excited about winning the first American medal at these Games would be an understatement. Upon hearing the news that she was in fact the first American medal winner she let out an excited scream that startled most individuals around her.
"I am so excited," exclaimed Jones. "It was great to see my name on the board and to see my country's flag being raised. It was also great to know that everyone here was cheering for all of us."
Fisher, who is competing in her first Paralympic Games, kept Jones' momentum going in the next event, the C4 pursuit where she won a silver medal after falling just short against Australia's Susan Powel in the final.
After leading for the first half of the race, Fisher was eventually overtaken by Powell who proved to be too strong. Powell, who broke the world record in the same event earlier in the day, finished with a time of 4:05.200, just ahead of Fisher who posted a time of 4:07.147.
Nevertheless, Fisher was incredibly pleased with her performance and excited to be bringing home one of the first medals of the Games.
"Just to be here is beyond my wildest expectations. I could have never expected to come this far. To be able to represent my country is an honor."
Something else that exceeded expectations for the riders was the atmosphere and overall noise levels inside the velodrome where a capacity crowd of 6,000 spectators filled the stands for tonight's finals.
The noise was deafening at times, something both Jones and Fisher said had an effect on their races, but in a positive way.
Jones was quick to point out how she used the crowd noise to her advantage.
"I knew when the crowd got louder that I was gaining on her (Schindler). The crowd was behind me and I knew I could do it."
Not surprisingly, some of the biggest contributors to the noise in the velodrome during Fisher's race were her own teammates, including Jones herself who was seen trackside coaching Fisher along throughout her race just minutes after winning her bronze medal.
This came as no surprise to Fisher who says that she and her teammates are very close and always support one another.
"I could hear my teammates yelling," said Fisher. "It was absolutely motivating and inspiring. I could not have asked for more."
It is no doubt that both Jones and Fisher plan on carrying this momentum in to their next events, which for both athletes happen tomorrow as they compete in the 500 meter time trial.
They will then shift their focus to the road events which start on Sept. 5.

Selected Speeches
Speech Video
At the High Level Plenary Meeting on Millennium Development Goals
New York, US
20 September 2010
In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Compassionate,
Secretary-General Ban,
Your Excellencies,
My friends,
Ten years ago, meeting here, our countries began an unprecedented effort to end human poverty. The millennium development goals spoke to some of the most important truths of the 21st century: that global security and prosperity are in danger while billions of people live in want; that our modern era offers the knowledge, and our world has the resources, to end this threat, and lift lives everywhere; and that both developing countries and donor countries have vital responsibilities if we are to succeed.
Today, our 15-year timeline to achieve the millennium goals has only five years to go, and real work lies ahead.
We meet this week to energise a fresh drive forward. There is every reason to succeed. Each gain we make reinforces others: from better education and health care, to higher living standards; from empowered women and youth, to greater economic opportunity. By integrating this work into national and global strategies, we can maximise change. But we cannot consolidate our gains without ensuring the conditions that development depends on: peace, partnership, and global opportunity.
My friends,
The foundations are in place. Our world understands more than ever before that a developing country must own its path to development. There are no one-size-fits-all, outside-in solutions. But the developed countries have deep interests in supporting global advances, and important tools to do so. Their commitment is essential during times of global economic crisis; not only to raise the world's poorest people, but to support and sustain those who are implementing good policies until their progress can be stabilised.
In Jordan, partnership, public and private, has long been part of development success. We have integrated the millennium goals into our national strategy of structural reform, sustainable economic growth and sound development. We have worked not only to scale up development efforts, but to scale out; expanding participation, and taking advantage of synergies in many fields. Today, due to the work of thousands of Jordanians in schools, in health care, in communities across the country, we are in the process of achieving many of our millennium goals. Goal 2, for example, has effectively been achieved: ensuring that all children enrol in primary school and stay in school, ending youth illiteracy and giving our students the foundation they need to advance in life.
A burden faces development across our region: the lack of regional peace. When warfare and violence divert resources from social needs and economic growth, economies and community life are undermined and poverty and frustration grow.
Development programmes can help build a foundation for peace, but they ultimately depend on peace to succeed long-term. This is why friends of development must also be friends of peace. The Middle East has for long been denied the peace that could unleash its enormous potential for development. We count on the support of the international community, to help us reach a comprehensive regional peace, which can only be realised through the resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, on the basis of the two-state solution.
My friends,
Jordan stands ready to work with you, to address our countries' shared concerns and meet the millennium goals. In the five years that remain until 2015, much can be achieved. I believe that together, we can make life better for all our peoples. Let us put our will with our wisdom, and move forward now.
Thank you.

Poland Man Charged After Leaving Infant In Truck
POLAND – An 8-month-old infant was not injured Sunday night after being left in a truck for almost two hours.
Troopers out of the State Police barracks in Jamestown charged Chad Swan, 23, of Scott Hill Road, with endangering the welfare of a child. Police said Swan left the infant in a carseat after returning from a relative's house around 10:30 p.m. Windows in the truck were rolled up.
According to State Police Sgt. Gary Segrue, the child's mother returned home around 12:30 a.m. and found Swan asleep.
After searching the immediate area, the infant was found "hot and sweaty" inside the truck by the infant's mother. She then contacted police.
Troopers said the infant sustained no injuries. Swan is believed to have been consuming alcohol Sunday night, but was not intoxicated, police said.
"Thankfully we avoided catastrophe here," Segrue said. "We have come across these situations in the United States from time to time where an infant is left alone inside a vehicle.
"Numerous things can happen. These children can be abducted or suffer from dehydration."
A temporary order of protection against Swan was issued by Judith Shields, Poland Town justice. Under the injunction, the Poland resident was told to refrain from offensive and endangering conduct against the infant and mother.
Swan, who will be back in court June 6, allegedly told police he did not remember leaving the infant inside the truck.
The Poland incident was the second in the area that led to child endangerment charges on Sunday. Cattaraugus County Sheriff's deputies charged Brandi L. Calkins, 21, after her 2-year-old child was found walking on Main Street in the village of Cattaraugus.
Sheriff's deputies said the child was walking on the street by himself for more than 30 minutes. Calkins was issued an appearance ticket and is due back in Cattaraugus Court at a later date.
"You know someone can come by and take the child," said Capt. Robert Buchardt. "It's just not a very smart thing to do. These kids can come up missing at the blink of an eye."

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
In June of 1912, one of the campus' most noteworthy and enduring landmarks arrived. It was the brainchild of three senior men – Frank Crites, Nofle Renneker, and Milton White.
In 1962, Crites recalled that members of the Class of 1912 wanted to leave a "most lasting gift," so "it was decided that a rock as large as could possibly be transported would be a fixture for many years in the future."
Thursday of graduation week, Crites and recent graduate Austin Marshburn '10, who provided the horses and wagon, started for Sierra Madre at about 3 a.m. Renneker and White rode over later on their bicycles, an eighteen-mile trip one way.
In a canyon at the foot of Mount Wilson trail, the foursome picked out a one- or two-ton granite boulder on the hillside, and dug trenches beneath it for the wagon wheels. After stopping at noon to eat lunches they'd brought, they eased the rock down the hill and onto the wagon with:
. . . strains, grunts, and the sweating required to accomplish our desired end. At long last, the rock was atop the wagon, the horses hitched to their positions and we were ready for the first try of moving the load to our campus. [But] the first effort of man and horses failed to set the wheels of the wagon in motion.
After more digging and "many more grunts and groans by men and horses, the wagon was eased out and on solid ground and all ready for the start home."
Unfortunately, it was already 7 p.m. They hadn't expected to be there all day, had not brought dinner and quickly discovered, Crites said, "there was not even an eating establishment in Sierra Madre."
So after Renneker and White headed home by bike, Crites and Marshburn started ponderously down the lonely, dusty road with the huge rock in the wagon.
"We were both very hungry," Crites recalled. But both had farmboy skills, so when they saw a dairy herd in the dusk along a deserted road, they stopped, milked the cows into their lunch pails and drink their fill.
They finally arrived at the campus with their prized rock about 2 a.m.
"The other members of the daytime party were aroused from sleep, and after more hours of strains and grunts, the rock was deposited on the ground of the campus near the walk leading to Founders Hall."
"The presence of the strange rock on the campus attracted many visitors the following day," Crites recalled. "These onlookers were both appreciative and hostile. Some were envious of our success."
Among the latter were junior men, who dug a hole and buried the unguarded rock.
"On Saturday morning, all that remained visible of our beautiful rock was the top of the smaller end, extending ten inches out of its grave."
At midnight, after President Newlin's reception for seniors, they changed into work clothes and used a hand-operated crane to position the rock and embed it in reinforced concrete.
"When the Rock was finally put in place where it now rests," Crites recalled, "the women of the class – Hazel Cooper, Gertrude Cox, and Maude Starbuck – served a delicious never-to-be-forgotten breakfast. And we watched the sun rise over the hill, smiling very favorably on our successful presentation to our alma mater – the Rock."
From Whittier College: The First Century on the Poet Campus, By Charles Elliot, Jr.

Can I Still Switch My Insurance?
Q: A couple of weeks ago you published an article talking about switching insurance. In that article you talked about cancer being the reason to change. I don't have cancer, but can I still switch my insurance?
A: What you appear to be asking about is enrollment periods or opportunities to change your insurance.
Enrollment periods are the time frames during which you are allowed to enroll or change your insurance. For the purposes of this discussion, I am sticking with Medicare Part D. Each part of Medicare (A, B and D) has different rules. If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan with prescription drug coverage, then these enrollment periods apply to your situation as well. Medicare Part D Annual Enrollment Period is Oct. 15 to Dec. 7 each year.
There are different Special Enrollment Periods for Medicare Part D and Medicare Part B.
There are at least 16 different qualifying situations that enable you to have a Special Enrollment Period. I will use the next two articles to review the 16 SEPs.
1. You have creditable drug coverage and lose creditable coverage through no fault of your own.
2. You choose to change employer/union coverage (through either current or past employment).
3. You are institutionalized.
4. You are enrolled in a State Pharmaceutical Assistance Program (EPIC for New York, PACE for Pennsylvania).
5. You have Medicaid, Medicare Savings Program, Supplemental Security Income or Low Income Subsidy (Extra Help).
6. You want to disenroll from a Medicare Private Health Plan with drug coverage for the first time (HMO & PPO).
7. You enroll in or disenroll from Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly
8. You permanently change your home address.
9. You have had Medicare eligibility issues.
10. You are eligible or lose eligibility for a Special Needs Plan
11. You experience contract violations or enrollment errors.
12. Your plan no longer offers Medicare Drug Coverage.
13. You disenroll from your Medicare Advantage plan during the Medicare Advantage Disenrollment Period.
14. You qualify for a new Part D initial enrollment period because you are turning 65.
15. You want to enroll in a five-star Medicare Advantage or Part D plan.
16. You experience an "exceptional circumstance."
Now that is quite a list, especially since each one of those may involve a number of different circumstances. I will explain these as best I can. If you think you qualify for any of these, you should contact CMS at 1-800-medicare or www.medicare.gov or contact the Medicare Rights center at www.medicarerights.org or 1-800-333-4114.
1. You have drug coverage, and you have lost that coverage through no fault of your own. This does not mean you stop paying your premium. This could happen when the plan you are in changes its coverage and is no longer creditable, or it stops providing drug coverage at all.
This also applies when you are newly eligible for a creditable plan. A situation might be that your spouse gets a new job or new health insurance coverage which is creditable, and you decide to enroll into that plan instead of Medicare Part D. This SEP gives you the right to do just that without any penalty later.
2. Changing your employer/union coverage is probably one of the most common situations we run into. This could result from a person deciding to retire on his own; his company leaving the area, thereby being out of a job or deciding you can't afford the premiums for the plan any longer. This also could be used to enroll in an employee-sponsored plan. Most situations involve disenrolling from an employee plan, and therefore needing to sign up with a Medicare Part D plan. This SEP gives you a two-month period of time to pick a Part D plan and enroll in that plan.
3. This SEP happens when you move into or out of a "qualified institutional facility." In our region, that is most likely a skilled nursing facility. It is not an adult home or assisted-living facility. It could also be an institution like prison, but that is much less common. When you move into a facility and you expect to be there awhile you can switch plans, join or disenroll once a month. I certainly don't recommend changing your drug plan that often, but you can. When you leave the facility, you have two months to switch plans, enroll in or disenroll from a Part D plan.
4. EPIC/PACE is probably the next most common SEP used. If you are enrolled in EPIC, become newly eligible for EPIC, or lose EPIC you are given a SEP to change your Medicare Part D. The first situation, for those who are currently enrolled, EPIC gives you a once-per-year opportunity to switch to a different plan (outside of the normal enrollment periods). The other two situations, where you are new to EPIC or you lose EPIC coverage; EPIC gives you an opportunity to join a Medicare Part D plan. This is not an opportunity to disenroll from Medicare Part D.
5. If you have Medicaid, the Medicare Savings Program or the Low Income Subsidy (Extra Help), you can switch your Medicare Part D plan on a monthly basis. As I said before, I do not recommend switching your plan this often, but if you find the plan you chose does not cover your medications you can find a plan that does provide the coverage you need and switch plans.
6. This SEP is only for first time enrollees in a Medicare Advantage Plan. If you have joined a Medicare Advantage Plan for the first time ever and you don't like it, or don't feel it gives you the coverage you were promised, you can disenroll from the plan within the first 12 months you have coverage. At that time, you go back to Original Medicare and a Stand Alone Medicare Part D plan. This particular SEP is only good once a lifetime.
7. This SEP is probably not something you are going to come across. A PACE (not the Pennsylvania type) is not very common in our area. Cattaraugus County does have a PACE program, and it is called "Total Senior Care" and is based in Olean. If you are newly enrolled in Total Senior Care or are leaving the care of this program, you have an opportunity to switch to leave your old insurance (and get the PACE) or disenroll from the PACE and enroll in an alternate Medicare Advantage Plan or Part D plan. There are no approved PACE programs in Chautauqua County.
8. You have permanently moved to a new location. If you move within your county you do not have this SEP. If you move to a different county or state, you may be eligible to switch your Part D plan. You may also have to switch if your current insurance plan is not offered there. Each county has different plans available to those who live there. An example: if you have an HMO with drug coverage and your insurance choice is not offered in a new region (in Albany), you have a right to switch plans the month before you move and two months after you move.
Once you notify your plan, you have two months to find and enroll in a new plan. If your plan is notified by CMS that you have moved, you will be disenrolled six months after the notification. You can change anytime within these six months or the following two months, giving you a total of eight months from the date you move to join or switch plans.
This SEP also can be used in unusual circumstances. This SEP also qualifies those who have moved back to the U.S. from another country. This also qualifies those who have been released from prison to join a plan. (An individual in prison is not qualified to join Medicare or a Medicare Part D plan.) In this situation, the individual has three months, the month before the move/release, and the two months after.
The remainder of the SEPs I will review in my next article.

asymmetric bob
talk about avant-garde and egdy ! This is one of a kind original and futuristic bob that is totally IN ! The cirtus-like colour blends so well with the blond and the orange hue making those layers so yummy! It is obviously not a simple hairstyle to pull off as it takes constant maintenance , but it's so worth it if you can rock this slick bob !

Suck on it FMB , you coulda had some time to see your boy Colt die slow had we of drafted Tannehill , but H& H done fucked up so bad missing on RG3 they had to get somebody to win now , so bad they got a fossil to replace that doorstop that sticks out of your butt .
We just have to figuire out how to sneak an oxygen pack under his uniform so we can get him thru the year without dieing , , long enough to limp into next years draft .
Weeden on a cane beats McCoy at all .
Proof positive how desperate these Jackasses are after cocking off the RG3 pick , instead of simply picking Tannehill , they use four picks to grab a Rb and then grab a QB more ready to start old enough to be FMB's grandfather .
They could easily have traded down and added a second and got Blackmon first ,
if you were gonna pick his QB .
Butt they panic and get a guy who can throw him the ball at 22 who should have been there at 37 after passing on the best receiver in the draft , and getting a running back in a draft chock full of running backs.

Mitch Spivack: As many of you who will read my commentary on the various proof platinum Statue of Liberty coins will soon discover, I am a huge fan of the entire U.S. proof platinum complex. The mintage figures for proof platinum are among the lowest of any mintages for proof type coins since 1915. And, what is cool about these proof platinum coins is that each and every year is a separate reverse design making each coin a "one-year type" coin.
Currently, there are at least (3) popular ways to collect a coin such as this one. First, some collectors enjoy collecting this coin in its original government packaging. There is also some demand for these coins in that format coming from self-directed IRA related activity. I will discuss this development in future commentary on this series.
Second, some collectors enjoy collecting this coin in a lovely PCGS-PR69DCAM holder, which is often a beautiful piece and high enough grade for the vast majority of collectors out there to fully enjoy. It is not uncommon for collectors to pursue the entire 1997-date $100 proof 1 oz. platinum series in PCGS-PR69DCAM grade as their modern eagle collection of choice. And, with the current price of platinum, that collection can keep most collectors busy for a very long time as they collect all of the dates!
Third, a coin such as this is collected in "PCGS perfect" PR70DCAM grade. I have met quite a few collectors pursuing this coin in PCGS-PR70DCAM grade (one of the toughest actually in the entire $100 series thus far to obtain in top grade) and some collectors even seek the "most perfect" of the "perfect" specimens for their sets; those coins with meticulous surfaces even free from planchet imperfections of a pre-striking nature that, in some cases, may not technically affect the "70" grade. It is not uncommon for proof platinum planchets (and especially those from the earlier years) to have pre-striking issues, such as minor pitting, very tiny pinpricks, minor metal flaking, etc. In some cases, these coins are graded PR70DCAM as it is determined that these pre-striking issues with the platinum planchet do not technically affect the grade of the post-struck coin. Collectors should carefully study these coins to fully grasp this issue.
I expect this series to gain popularity in the years ahead. These are some of the most beautiful modern coins ever struck by the U.S. Mint and the super low mintages should catch the attention of many collectors as the "word gets out"!

Staff Pick from IN BRUGES
Beth Urquhart, Director International Marketing for Focus Features, picks a scene from IN BRUGES as one of her favorites.
This scene is wrong in so many ways that it is just perfect, perfect in everyway. The humor is spot on, the humor is such that if you get it, you feel like you are in on an inside joke. The drunk Irishman, the short midget, the beautiful hooker... all obvious pairings but McDonagh turns the obvious and politically incorrect and makes it wholly original and hilarious as hell. One of the most quoted Focus movies in my household!


text:
David Hall: The mintage of both 1964 issues were enormous, but the coins are not that common in Gem condition. They are average rarity for the era and less common than some of the S mints of the 1940s and 1950s. The 1964 is slightly rarer than the 1964-D.

text: How to Find Used Cars for Sale Online Searching for used cars for sale can be a huge waste of time and money if you are spending hours going from lot to lot checking out cars. Instead, you can find used cars online with ease. Finding a used car for sale online means that you can look at specific cars in your geographic area. You will see a selection of cars available at dozens of dealerships using search engines on the car websites. When trying to find a used car, consider these hints for a good online car shopping experience. Use the filters. All decent car shopping sites have a filter for searching. Use this filter to your advantage when you are trying to find used cars for sale. You will have the opportunity to limit cars by the color or number of doors or transmission or any other feature that matters to you in your car search. These filters will allow you to compare only cars that fit your criteria, rather than needing to sift through a lot to find the two or three cars that may work for your situation. Get a car history. One of the biggest benefits of finding a used car for sale online is that you can request a car history report on the spot. Instead of needing to get the VIN, go home, and then order the report, you often can click a link right from the website and check the car report. You definitely should ask for a car history report when you are trying to find used cars because you can save yourself a lot of headache. Compare options. If you find a used car at George's Car Lot, you may have to travel to three other dealerships before finding the comparable car at Main Street Cars for Less. By shopping online, you take this problem away because you can compare cars with just a few mouse clicks. By maximizing this comparison feature and taking careful research notes, you can save yourself time and money in the process of buying a used car.

Located at the Loggia of Mercato Nuovo, in the heart of the city and a few steps from Ponte Vecchio, you can find one of the most known Florence monuments: the Piggy Fountain.
The legend of this bronze piece attracts many visitors on their search of luck. It is mandatory to rub the nose of the Pig and to put a coin inside of its mouth. If the coin falls to the water situated beneath the animal this will assure an early return to Florence and a life full of fortune.
The popularity of the Piggy Fountain is also reflected on its leap to the movies, appearing on the last film of the famous magician of Hogwarts, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II".
From Il Salviatino, your luxury hotel in Florence, we recommend you to visit the Piggy Fountain, a masterpiece full of magic and fortune, and we look forward on your early return to Florence.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (459 votes).
In short: Thoroughly enjoyable and challengingIn full: Very good atmosphere. Very welcoming and friendly as this was my first ever race, hills were challenging but not too bad and the scenery was beautiful. Great goody bag at the end and plenty of water for everyone. And the medal is awesome :-) Can't wait to do it again next year! Date of review: March 10, 2014
In short: Great scenic cours with some killer hills!In full: This was my first time at the Longleat 10K and I really enjoyed the race. A lot of noise has been generated about the decision by Longleat to open earlier and therefore charge spectators but that's not really the organisers fault and they have moved the date back next year to avoid - my family all entered the Fun Run so all worked out well.The course was rather challenging, a killer hill after the first km, one later on and then the final km to the finish was slightly uphill - but where's the fun without a challenge? :-)I did manage a PB but this is my first 10K race since a fairly intensive training regime leading up to the Bath Half.Organisation was a little lacking in places but chip timing and a "OK" goody-bag and nice medal although not the famous lions head which everyone was speaking about (apparently it's back next year).The only complaint I would make is that the Marshalls pretty much universally weren't interested in the race, there was no encouragement and they seemed a little sparse out on the course. I appreciate it was a Rotary club rather than runners but perhaps recruit some runners?I'll definitely be back next year...Date of review: February 18, 2014
In short: Poor OrganisationIn full: IM only going to cover the things that stuck out as needing looking at:1, started late due to people not getting to the start on time, marshalls should have been clearing the course so it could start on time, if people choose to be late that is there fault, letting runners get even colder is not acceptable.2. Lack of marshalls on course, this has been mentioned previously, there weren't enough, especially in areas where there was traffic, and that includes Longleat vehicles driving like idiots!!3, No toilets at start area,, its not that difficult is it????4, Finish area was a shambles, people queing for bags and getting official times actaully spilling out onto the finish line, no marshalls at all in this area, I finished in under 40 minutes and stayed till the last runner and didn't see anyone asking runners to que in an oposite direction, taking them away from the finish...5. Runners walking in the opposite direcion on the finish straight, against oncoming runners!! how dangerous and how stupid... I know the route had to be changed but did commen sense have a day off??6. Hills,, not a gripe about the hills, but to those who keep bringing it up,, Longleat is not flat, if you dont like hills, dont enter it!!! if you want flat, go to a running track7. Goody bag, I dont enter races for a goody bad, but it did make me smile when I looked and saw 2 sachets of Shampoo, but nowhere there to have a shower!8. Medal, neither do I enter races to collect medals, although this one was described as a' lions Head' it more resembles a cartoon Cat (Garfield) doing a rather poor sprint. Not a great medal, not even a date on it considering it was a 10th aniversary!9, A classic example of a 209 event where it could be really good, but let down again by poor organisation, (remember the wye valley half in 2011 where front runners went the wrong way beacuse of.... lack of marshalls....)Date of review: February 10, 2014
In short: Nice course, nice grounds, shoddy organisationIn full: Weather held off and was a chilly but bright and dry race.Organisationally, the event was a shambles. From the 3 course changes announced before the event to on the day shenanigans (More later) there seemed to be very little actual organisation. It was further hurt by Longleat's decision to open the park during the event which meant spectators either needed to pay the entry (At a 30% discount) or enter the fun run (£2 cheaper than the discounted rate)Despite there being mention of timed start pens, I only saw the sub 40 one. The rest were hidden by swathes of people, not helped by the distinct lack of marshals trying to organise people properly. There was a PA system you could barely hear and no-one had a clue what was going on. I didn't hearIt ended up just a mass funnel of people of varying paces.This was exacerbated by the Fun Run. There was supposed to be a 3k fun run taking place 5 minutes after the start of the main run. But people didn't seem to be able to tell what was going on (Lack of marshalling/decent PA contributed). So all the fun runners also started at the same time. I spent the first 2k weaving in and out of people including, rather dangerously, children. In a fun run situation fair enough, but when I'm chasing a PB I'm not always looking down far enough and nearly rattled a few kids.After that debacle though, I have to say the race was good. There were some KILLER hills. To say that marshals were sparse would be an understatement. If there was an emergency, it would take 2-3 minutes for a marshal to even get notified they were that far apart.The problems return during the last kilometer. As runners were running up the finish straight, people who were already finished were walking down the same router, and I was having to weave around them too! Once again, no marshalling to keep runners and finishers separated.The medal was good, the goody bag was shoddy. The tee shirt was good but paid extra for it.The best part of the day was the attractions in Longleat which we did have free entry to (Except the safari park). The saving grace of the event.I had fun, but have been to much better organised events and wouldn't do this one again with the current arrangements.Date of review: February 10, 2014
In short: Enjoyable and challenging.In full: Shame about the messing about from Longleat, and the goody bags weren't up to much, but I really enjoyed it and there was a nice friendly atmosphere. Date of review: February 10, 2014
In short: Hilly, friendly, beautiful!In full: Excellent organisation and very friendly - I particularly liked the Marquess of Bath cheering people on with "Welcome home!" as we approached the finish line. Date of review: February 9, 2014
In short: Was a bit of an obstacle course this yearIn full: Ran this race for the third time in a row. Due to the park opening earlier, the start/finish line had been moved further away, and the traffic!!! I lost count of the amount of times someone shouted out "CAR" - there were far too many of them!! In addition, when running up the final straight, all of the faster runners were walking back down the road making it difficult for us to run up. When reaching the finish, I sped up only to run straight into someone chatting in front of the line, who suddenly turned round without looking - WHERE WERE THE MARSHALLS??? The finish line should have been kept clear and the people returning to the car park should have been instructed to keep to the left! Preferred it the way it was last year I'm afraid. Still a good medal, goody bag and the country's best race photographers though. Date of review: February 9, 2014
In short: Weather Gods smiled on us, poor goody bagIn full: This was my second year at this race. The change of route led to some problems before the start as late comers were still walking up the race line to the start, delaying it slightly. The starting area was packed and it was pretty much impossible to get into the right starting zone which meant a lot of weaving about to overtake people.Was good to have a tent at the start as it was about a km from the car park.The marshalls were friendly and helpful.The goody bag was pretty terrible. I know you don't go to an event for a goody bag but the only edible items were pistachio nuts an a bottle of coconut water.Date of review: February 9, 2014
In short: Loved itDate of review: February 9, 2014
In short: I aintn't et....In full: First time at this race so didn't know what to expect. Surprised by the number of people who turned up for what could easily have been a cold drenching day. As it was, weather though grey and windy stayed kind. On a bright Spring day this would be lovely, if not flat. Couple of hilly sections at most half a mile. Depressingly boring goody bag, but overall a reasonable day out. Date of review: February 9, 2014

Oregon Team Building With Flowers
As the "Champion of Fun" in Group Sales at Sunriver Resort, I wanted to find an activity that incorporated team building and fun while doing something that gave back to our community. Through a wonderful local website, www.volunteerconnect.com, I was introduced to Friends with Flowers of Oregon.
This organization was formed to bring bedside bouquets, and compassion, to hospice patients in Central Oregon. The flowers are donated by: grocery stores, flower shops, gardeners and various events (weddings, social and corporate). Volunteers create beautiful arrangements with donated products. Hospice care workers and volunteers share these flowers with their patients. I worked with their President, Heidi Berkman, and came up with a fun scavenger hunt idea to accomplish the goal of team building and fun!
Our sales team broke into 3 teams and embarked on a wild hunt for 2 hours to find all the supplies that Friends with Flowers Needed; produce boxes for delivery, newspapers for packing and vases to hold the flowers. In 2 hours each team had to gather as many items as they could and the team who collected the most items would be crowned champion. The teams all had to come up with a plan, stay together and work together to accomplish this goal. All of the teams met back at the Friends With Flowers store to deliver their items and learn more about the process of making the beautiful bouquets that would be delivered.
Sara Carson of Blue Daffodil Flowers explained the process of sorting the incoming flowers and arranging the bouquets. We each took a vase and began our own creation knowing that tomorrow a very special Hospice patient would be receiving our beautiful arrangement. In the end, the entire team agreed that it was a fun and rewarding experience that we definitely want to do again. Mission accomplished!

Overall objective:
Expected result 1:
Expected result 2:
Outputs and results and possible follow up
The project started in January 2010. A launching conference was held on 24 February in Ankara to mark the beginning of the project, to inform the wider public and relevant stakeholders about it, and to ensure the visibility of the project. The high level participation of the beneficiaries and project stakeholders, including all the Presidents of the courts, the Ambassador of the EUD, the Head of the Central Finance and Contracts Unit of Turkey (CFCU), the Director of Co-operation of the Directorate General of Human Rights and Legal Affairs of the CoE demonstrated the high interest in the project. The current discussions on judicial reform in Turkey also attracted the attention of the media and the public, which resulted in an increased level of participation in the conference. This media coverage contributed positively to the visibility of the project: the speeches were broadcasted live by important national TV channels or on the news of the same day on the main TV channels and featured in the headlines of various national newspapers on the day following the conference.
During 2010, a total of 73 justices and members of the Constitutional Court, the Court of Cassation and the Council of State, including the Presidents of the Court of Cassation and the Council of State were enabled to reinforce their skills and knowledge as regards European standards and their domestic application. They visited the CoE, ECtHR and the European Court of Justice (ECJ). In particular, their capacity to develop the regulatory framework for developing the judicial system in Turkey, setting up new procedures, rules and regulations, as well as running new mechanisms on the basis of similar provisions, rules and regulations in the ECtHR and the ECJ was strengthened. The beneficiaries were also exposed to recent developments as regards important topics and cases relevant to Turkey, they attended a Grand Chamber hearing before the ECtHR, as well as met with the President of the ECtHR and its judges. Issues examined included the authority of the case law of the ECtHR, the right to life, prohibition of torture, fair trial, freedom of expression, freedom of thought, conscious and religion and the right to property. The knowledge of the highest judicial authorities was also strengthened as regards the development of lawyers' profession and their role in the court proceedings.
The operational capacity, knowledge and skills of a total of 314 members, prosecutors and reporters from the High Courts legal professionals as regards the domestic application of European standards, including social and economic rights, was developed during series of round tables in Ankara. Their full access to human rights materials, including the case law of the ECtHR and standards developed under the ESC was provided in Turkish. These training materials were also disseminated among legal professionals in the country and they are also available in the project's website (http://www.yargitay.gov.tr/abproje). They include: 1) 15 books and handbooks; 2) 35 key documents (conventions, decisions, recommendations and reports by the Committee of Ministers of the CoE, Venice Commission and CCJE etc.); 3) 45 presentations by the experts and judges who took part in the round tables.
The project succeeded in bringing the representatives of all supreme judicial authorities (Constitutional Court, Court of Cassation, Council of State, and the High Council of Judges and Prosecutors) together for the first time with judges and lawyers from the ECtHR. Critical issues concerning Turkey before the ECtHR were examined and discussed exhaustively, ways of preventing violations were identified and all the parties gained greater awareness of the points of view of their counterparts. The beneficiaries stated that as a result of the activities so far, they were considering revising their interpretation of the law on a number of points. In addition, social rights and the protection mechanisms have been accorded top priority in the agenda of the Turkish supreme judicial authorities. It remains to be seen when and how the judgments issued by them will reflect the acquired skills and knowledge.
In addition to the quantitative indicators mentioned above, the interest of the beneficiary courts was also evident and the results of evaluation of the training events showed a general satisfaction about the content, programme and experts chosen for the activities, during which the participants exchanged their knowledge and experience, contributing to the development of a close relationship between the Turkish supreme judicial authorities and the European institutions for a better protection of human rights at the national level.
The project team is planning an external evaluation of the project in mid-2011 to assess the impact of the activities with a view to taking appropriate measures to ensure that by the end of the project, the higher courts of Turkey effectively implement European human rights standards.

TagsPlugin: Reduce hints to create a tags wiki page or go to an existing one.
Presenting these texts inline as part of the page headline is not very elegant.

and template structure significantly simplified as well.
Additional template changes ensure compact, less fragmented message strings
on msgid extraction.

AccountManagerPlugin: Consolidate plugin permissions, refs #7700.
Central definition in the AccountManager module is not only more
straight-forward, now actions are guaranteed to exist even with admin panels
As a side-effect this fixes irritating ACCTMGR_USER_ADMIN duplicate entries
in the permission select box as seen i.e. in Trac 0.11.
Added unit test to ensure this works expectedly, and added a more intuitive
inheritance of EMAIL_VIEW by ACCTMGR_USER_ADMIN too, that was missing
because of wrong syntax in AccountManagerAdminPanels.get_permission_actions

PIC APEX Genetic Nucleus, located near Mound City, supplies breeding stock to customers around the globe. Recently, APEX shipped pigs to PIC China to help stock a new farm in China.
APEX sent 450 pigs consisting of 20 large breeding boars (~300lbs), 150 small boars (45 to 90 lbs) and 280 small gilts (45 to 90 lbs). These pigs were combined with 750 gilts from a PIC multiplier farm to complete the shipment of 1,200 head.
To export pigs, strict regulations and procedures must be followed. Each animal is identified by a numeric ear tag and must comply with the importing country's health certificate. This consists of strict blood testing and vaccination protocols. A Chinese governmental official was present for the entire quarantine period (45 days) to observe the animals and verify that all of the health protocols were followed.
The chartered Boeing 747 cargo plane, loaded with the pigs, left the export facility in Wilmington, Ohio, on Monday, Jan. 28, and arrived in China on Jan. 29. The pigs were the only cargo on the plane and traveled in style in custom built wooden crates filled with wood shavings, feed and water. The cargo hold of the plane was kept at a comfortable 60 degrees F. Most of their time was spent stretched out and sleeping while they were in flight. Actually, the trip was probably much more comfortable than most human travelers are used to.
Typically a shipment of this type requires a groom to attend to the animals. This person flies with the pigs on the cargo plane, usually alongside the pilots in the cockpit. Several times during flight, the groom will enter the cargo hold of the plane to check on the status of the animals to be sure they are comfortable and have plenty of feed and water.
The flight arrived in Xi'An, China, on Tuesday, Jan. 29, after 21 hours of travel time.
Customs officials met the aircraft and verified all paperwork was in order. The wooden crates were transferred to waiting flat deck trucks, nine trucks in all, to begin the drive to the farm. Chinese Police provided an escort of the truck convoy to the farm to ensure the trucks had a clear and efficient route to the farm.
This export was the first shipment to China since, 2008 and the first time APEX has shipped pigs to China. However, this was not the first export for APEX. On a regular basis pigs are shipped around the world. In the coming weeks, pigs from the Mound City facility will go to Russia, Mexico, Vietnam and Brazil.
PIC is the international leader in providing genetically superior pig breeding stock. PIC combines quantitative sciences with leading-edge biotechnology to develop non-GMO breeding stock that is focused on meeting the needs of its customers. This approach provides healthier animals that are more efficient to produce and provide higher quality products to customers.
Operating for over 50 years, PIC's success is attributed to its thorough concentration and significant investment in aspects of genetics, technology and health.

Hello everyone,
I know that heavydoom is particularly fond of this cake. The more I look at it the more I like it, I just looks like a great cake. In my next YSLLC order I am thinking of obtaining 2 of these cakes. My question is, Has anyone else had any experiences with this cake? And for those that have tried both how does it compare to the 2008 Mengku Bing Dao Spring Cake, which is basically the same price and weight and all that?

Samsung Electronics, the world's largest maker of dynamic random access memory (DRAM), on Thursday said it has succeeded in developing 40nm process technology for memory products as well as has successfully validated the first DDR2 memory chips made using the process. According to Samsung, the new manufacturing technology opens doors to both low-power and cost-effective DDR3 as well as DDR4 memory chips.
"Securing extremely advanced technology and system/platform validated operability underscores our commitment as technology leader to deploying the most efficient means of producing DRAM in the marketplace," said Kevin Lee, vice president of technical marketing at Samsung Semiconductor.
The first memory device to be produced on 40nm node by Samsung is 1Gb DDR2 chip capable of operating at 800MHz. Memory modules based on the new DRAMs have passed Intel Platform Validation program for use with the Intel GM45-series mobile chipsets.
The migration to 40nm class process technology is expected to accelerate the time-to-market cycle by 50% – to just one year, according to Samsung. Samsung plans to apply its 40nm class technology to also develop a 2Gb DDR3 device for mass production by the end of 2009.
Besides, the new 40nm fabrication process will drive further reductions in voltage against a 50nm class device, which Samsung expects to translate into about a 30% power savings. The finer DRAM technology node also delivers an approximately 60% increase in "productivity" over 50nm class process technology.
Thinner manufacturing technologies allow memory makers to produce more chips from a single silicon wafer, which makes chips considerably cheaper to build. Just days ago Qimonda, a struggling DRAM maker, said its 46nm process technology cuts production costs by up to 200% compared to 75nm fabrication process.
In addition, Samsung expects that its 40nm process node will mark a significant step toward the development of next generation, ultra-high performance DRAM technologies, such as DDR4.
