Rated 2 out of 5 by cnschnei from Nice, but not thoroughly impressed Vistaprint did a great job customizing the design to my requests for the coloring of the flowers. However, when I asked to have the color on the back changed from the light khaki color to the grey/blue on the front, it did not match...

Rated 4 out of 5 by ChristinaE75 from Good but could use some improvement I got this flash drive to deliver videos for my wedding business. Things are shifting from DVDs and I thought this personalized USB was perfect. My only problem is, once you insert it into the computer, the personalization is upside down which is a real bummer and defeats the purpose. It was printed well, just the smallest smudge that I think will bother me more than the recipient.

I wasnt sure where to post this so feel free to kick it around if so desired.
Another forum jogged a memory and I thought Id pass this along to share and see what others think.
When we (wife and I) were taking our Minnesota carry permit class and testing there was an interesting cross section of the community doing the same. In getting to know the people one, older (my age) lady, reveled that she was from a part of the community known for violence, shootings, etc. etc. If there was anybody there (IMHO) that needed to be legally carrying a gun for protection it was her.
To shorten up the story when we got to the shooting gun handling and proficiency part of the exam it was obvious the only thing she knew about guns was how to spell the word. With extensive personal hands on help and tutoring, a gun shop loner 22 pistol, and many extra rounds to fire she finally got enough shots in the silhouette to be counted if one ignored the massive amount of holes in the white paper around the border. She walked out with her diploma and assuming she has scrounged up a legal gun is now walking the streets with it in her purse.
I have mixed feelings over this. More negative than positive I might add. I would like your input as well just to confirm or maybe rethink my opinions.
Thank You;

Because proficiency is extremely important, I do hope she made it her mission to improve her shooting skills.
Whether a CCW permit is a right or a privilege comes into question. Personally, I think it is a right...not a priviledge. That said, we should keep in mind we are accountable for every round we fire.

There was a person just like this in my class. She showed up on the range with what looked like an old 25 cal Jennings that had been laying out in the yard for about 10 years. The gun was virtually non functional and the lady required lots of time consuming coaching. I hope she never went on to get her CCW permit. Scary.
She probably had enough trouble coming up with the $150 for the class let alone enough $ for a gun, along with the $100 for the MN cary permit. Then for her to drive to the only range in the area pay for the ammunition and the $20+ for range time. I'd surprised if she has shot another round since.

This is another reason why I refuse to do anymore CCW training for the public. I've found that this isnt the exception, but the norm. People expected to take a 20 hour class and be experts, some think they are after a 20 hour class. That is scary.
I also refused to sign off on anybody who was not ready for the street. It ruffeled a few feathers, but most understood why.
It not only effects them, but the ccw community on a whole.
A wise man once told me, If its worth doing at all, its worth doing right.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
I've got some feelings about that too. So much so, that I set up a "special" section for the gunclassses that my gun club gives.We had discussed doing this before, and as the Training Coordinator for our Gunclub, I finallly put it all together.I only wish that we could have done it earlier.
We did this at the last class we had,(yesterday) and it worked out very well. At the beginning of the class, I asked everyone if they were new shooters, or if they felt comfortable that they could safely handle their guns or if anyone would like some extra instruction. Six people raised their hands.
Out of the six, 4 had never shot a gun, 1 had shot 30 years ago, and one had a new gun that her husband got her that she had never fired.
We separated them from the other 30+ students and took them to the Pistol range, which is at a different location than our rifle range where everyone else was set up. We did this so that those that needed more instruction could get it without holding up the rest of the class.
We shot a different course of fire and took the time to explain how and why and made sure that everyone was 100 percent with their ability's to safely handle a weapon without endangering everyone within a mile and half radius. When the class was over, everyone felt much better. They had confidence that they didn't have in the gun,themselves, and they felt much better about the situation in general.
They understood that that CHL class was not the end to a means of protection, but just the beginning, and that practice,practice and more practice was the key to becoming proficient. We spoke of the responsibilities of gun ownership, safe use and storage of the gun and asked many questions about the law and legal processes.
They also understood that time was not a factor, that we would be there as long as it took to make them a better shooter and that we were committed to the process.
Being the first class that we did that too, myself and the other instructors thought it was an overwhelming success. All shooters displayed major improvement, all of them were tearing the center out of the target, all of them were handling their firearms in a safe manner. I was told that the relaxed manner of instruction, and the fact that time was not a factor was a major influence into the learning process as they were somewhat apprehensive about the class to begin with.
It worked well enough that it will now become standard procedure for us to teach that way. It makes no sense mixing the new shooters up with the already proficient shooters that shoot alot or have been doing so for their whole lives. Lots of people come into the class with the skills they need already, and I've always thought that some of the less proficient shooters kind of got lost in the crowd and could have received some extra instruction.
We had 3 instructors for the six people so that the ratio was pretty good..lot of help there. We also used the shooter and coach method, so that they felt more at ease.
Like I said, the whole process worked well. Not only did the students feel better about life, but the instructors as well. I also think that anyone else that would have been critical of their skills otherwise would have felt more comfortable and at ease about the fact that these people could and would carry a concealed weapon and do so in a completely safe manner.
Included in this section of class was the Mayor,who at the start of the class couldn't hit the broadside of a large barn ten feet in front of him.When he left, he was shooting well, had learned the basic fundamentals, knew when to shoot and not to shoot, felt confident that he could safely handle his weapon and was looking forward to doing it again, so much so that he filled out the paperwork,payed the fee and became a member of the range so that he could practice.He knew and understood that what he learned was just the beginning,not the end to the lifelong process of learning and improving.
And that is what its all about.

Personally, I put my money where my mouth was, when I was contemplating acquiring a CHL. I first spent 2yrs on the range and other training, gaining proficiency and competency. At the end of that 2yr period, I had progressed enough to be a decent shot with a dozen different types of pistols. At that point, I then took a safety course, then the CHL rules & regs course. There was no way I'd go get a CHL unless I could first prove to myself that I would never be a danger to the proverbial 3yr old across the street, should it become necessary for me to defend against an attacker.

I believe that there is alway's one person in every CCW/CHL class that is clearly not ready to carry a firearm on the streets.
The CCW/CHL class it's self is more centered on legal aspects of the use of the deadly force, legal pitfalls, deadly force continuim, etc, etc, etc, It's not designed, nor should be, a tactical firearms course of instruction. Mine, like others, was placing 11 shots out of 21 into the black for qualification. This is not hard for most of us, but some cannot hold their shots in the black to save their life.
The question then remains. Should additional shooting skills be demonstrated in order to be granted a CCW/CHL permit ? Yes and no. It's a right, not necessarily a privilege. Altough some would argue that the mere fact that you pay for the course, pay the Sheriffs office and be finger printed is akin to recieving a drivers lisence, which I wont argue that it is. But, must each and every CCW/CHL holder be forced to attend a one week tactical pistol course at Blackwater ?
What if each state required that the CCW/CHL carrier had to qualify two or three times a year? Of couse this would also cost another $25 each time. I'd be certain that I was spending enough time at the range with my carry gun to insure my qualification. However, this presents even more buearocracy into the fold for what is clearly a right, not a privilege.
I don't have that answer, but some people do scare me with their firearms.

I offered to do some range time with her afterwards and we did a couple of one hour range sessions covering basic safety and how her pistol functioned etc... on our own the next weekend. I just hope she kept on practicing. Between both of our work schedules at the time, I kind of lost track of her. Nice lady though...too bad she was married -the good ones are always taken.
I dunno. I guess it's like skydiving. Who wants to jump out of a perfectly good airplane without knowing how the darn chute works?
"Hmm let's see now...This thingy goes here...that one might go there...what's this handle for...".
My sportsman's club has a "first steps" class that applicants take if they don't belong to the club or have a member vouch for their ability to handle a weapon. It's necessary because the permit class takes 8 hours to complete and there's no time for primary instruction.

Last week, at Berlin's premiere night of World War Z, the gorgeous Angelina Jolie walked the red carpet and made jaws drop to the floor. She was wearing a custom-made Ralph & Russo peplum dress that seemed so perfectly sculpted on her body. No one else can make a peplum dress look this good!
This white number is such a refreshing look for Angie because we usually see her in black gowns event after event. She opted for something different this time, and the edgier, more modern look fit her very well, also making her a shoo-in for several best-dressed lists. The Internet is currently abuzz with Jolie's movie premiere look, and we're foreseeing a lot of press for this much-talked-about dress.

Reportedly, designers Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo worked closely with Angelina to create the dress, which turned out to be nothing short of stunning. The Berlin movie premiere also fell on Angie's birthday, so this peplum creation was actually her special birthday outfit. Any comments on this dress?

this shaker is everything you need in a protein shaker, its slim and comes in great colours!! it leaves a smooth shake with no bits and the compartment for extra powder is super convienient!! love it
Great size, not too bulky to take with you. Shakes the powder well. Nothing more to say.
Great tasting. Mixes ok but cab have lumps. And I have personally been getting great results! Goes Well With:Morning oats. Milk and water.
The bottle is fully watertight, which is essential, and the compartment at the bottom for holding your powder is also great- water for the workout and protein for afters! The colour is great too, but I'm wondering when I'll ever need the Indiana Jones style belt clip...
I have used shakers with the wire ball for mixing the protein and you always have large lumps. This shaker is the best I have found for giving a good consistency.
Very comfortable and I like the space where to put the protein and mix it after gym
I bought it to use with my new impact diet whey. I like that it comes with a compartment for powder on the go. The powder mixes really well. Almost smooth. The only disappointment is that you cannot see the liquid level through the bottle as it's opaque. So I kinda guess whereabouts it should be. So not a very accurate measurement. In hindsight I would have rather gone for a more transparent bottle. Goes Well With:Impact Diet Whey
I use with vegan protein powder which can be quite grainy this shaker is brilliant!!
This is a must have for mixing your protein shakes thoroughly without leaving any nasty lumps behind, it is totally leak proof too! Can't fault it!
Fab shaker, no lumps in shake. Gorgeous colour!! Very handy in the sense you can store protein in base until you want to drink it. Goes Well With:Strawberry stevia protein
Great compact shaker that mixes protein well and doesn't leak. Handy container that screws onto the bottom of the shaker that holds 25g protein easily.
Excellent sized bottle with added bonus of separate storage for dry powder or snack!Goes Well With:protein powder mixes
Great shakerGoes Well With:Vanilla soya protein powder and coconut milk
I find the bottle very handy, however I find it quite small and could maybe do with being a little bit bigger.
I needed a new bottle, and I love purple. this shaker is perfect. it even has a little compartment at the bottom that can screw off and use to store extra powers/tablets. would highly recommend.Goes Well With:protein shakes
The shaker is brilliant, perfect for when you are out all day because you can separate the powder and water until you are ready to mix it. Highly recommended.
Does it exactly what it says - compact, easy to use, no clumps!
Absolutely love it, quick, elegant. useful, perfect!
This is an excellent quality shaker! It is a "SmartShake" shaker made for Myprotein and you know you can expect great quality for an affordable price. I like the colors, I got the purple one and it's really nice. The bottom storage is also great if you carry it around all day and want drink 2 drinks, or if you carry other supplements. The strainer is great and it mixes so well, leaving no lumps in the drink. Recommend!
I love this little shaker and it's perfect for the size shakes I have (300ml). Always mixes well and so easy to clean. Would definitely recommend this product if you have shakes less than 450ml. Anything above that I would recommend getting a bigger one.Goes Well With:Impact whey protein

Teen Shot By 'Best Friend' Dies
A teenager who was in critical condition after being shot in the head by his friend during an argument with others on Sunday evening has died, police said.
A pool of blood and a large piece of 17-year-old Jonathan Rhodes' brain matter was left spattered in front of the steps to 337 Beach 67 Street Monday; at the time police said his prognosis was grim. On Wednesday, police said Rhodes died at Peninsula Hospital that afternoon.
Meanwhile, the district attorney's office is investigating to see how the shooting happened. Police said there were several people outside the house when 18-year-old Brian Reese, who lives in the second floor apartment, fired his handgun. Rhodes, who was struck by the bullet in his left temple, was not the intended target, according to court documents.
Reese's attorney, Charles Pringle, said his client and Rhodes were "best friends."
Police from the 100 Precinct arrested Reese on Sunday. Before Rhodes died Reese was charged with second degree attempted murder, first degree assault, criminal weapons possession, reckless endangerment, and criminal possession of a controlled substance. Those charges could now change, according to a spokesperson for the district attorney.
Police, who obtained a search warrant, said they found cocaine, guns, and boxes of ammunition in Reese's bedroom closet.
Queens Criminal Court Judge Steven Zayas denied Reese bail at his arraignment on Tuesday. His next court date is on December 3.

Moveit Usa RIpped off Damaged property Over charged Pompano Beach Florida
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My whole experience has been terrible. I was over charged and most of my furniture was damaged. The truck leaked and I arrived with 6 wet suitcases full of moldy clothes. The took 2 of our personal moving blankets and two of my personal quilts. I have damaged and broken items even ones that were double bubble wrapped. In order to file a claim with them for even partial re-reimbursement you have to go thru so many hoops that they make you give up. I do not have a receipt for furniture handed down through generations that was so damaged it will have to be repaired. As for receipts for all the damaged clothes they are lost as my paperwork boxes were so wet as to be unable to separate or read through the mold. I chose this company because the sounded so reputable. I am inconsolable for all I have lost. I should have known when they had to change pick up date twice and arrived later than said. We were mislead on the price and had to pay more after goods arrived. We paid initial down payment with credit card and were asked to pay more upon pick up of goods so they could pay for gas.We had to pay Cash on arrival.

The same exact thing happened to me on May 5-12,2014. I was so scared for my life. Didnt bring furniture when he said. Then when he did arrive he wanted $1800 in cash. I asked to see furniture he wouldnt even open the truck. He started hollowing and talking in a threating manner. I would not give the driver the money. I kept asking to see my furniture.The driver was still demanding that $1800. He still didnt let me see the Furniture but got back in the truck threating me and telling me he wasnt going to give me my furniture until I pay first. Then he drove off with the furniture. !!!!
I called the police who came after he had left. The he called me on the phone saying the same thing.The ower of Moveit USA called me and demanded I pay.Stating I need to pay my bills saying things hurtful, humiliating, discriminating, and scandalizing my name. The officer heard the whole conversation. He the officer stated he couldnt intervene because of the owner on the phone and the driver had left.
The driver returned to deliver the furniture after the conversation on the phone. I went across the street to get money orders. Paid the driver with money orders. Got the receipt which he threaten me again that he wouldnt deliver my furniture if I didnt sign the paperwork.But he woldnt sign in New York nor in Georgia. I still hadnt seen my furniture even after signing paperwork and paying him. He talked about my health, my religion, my furniture, my financial status, etc. I was so scared for my life.
The driver started taking other people things off the truck to get to my things. Then he started throwing my things off the truck. He was ALONE when he came to pick up my furniture.So I got my SON to help the driver trying to be nice. He was supposed to pay him. It took two(2) days to load my furniture. I had to leave later than expected and couldnt DIALIZE (health issue) because of the driver's neglience.So the driver is alone again to deliver. He takes so many breaks I lost count.Still throwing furniture out of truck. Im calling people trying to get someone to come where we were at my storage. By now Im locked in my truck because Im so afraid to say anything to him or get out of the truck. The driver is in a RAGE and ANGRY with me for not giving HIM cash.!! He's acting eractic again.!!
Then he stops again and leave. The truck and furniture are left unattended. He comes back with two(2) strange guys(men) that Ive never seen. At that same moment one(1) guy jump the fence. Im really scared for my life. They started to unload the truck. One guy left and the rest stayed. They unloaded for a while and rested numerous times.I took pictures and videoed them throwing the furniture out of the truck. They drugged my mattresses. And a lot of my forniture. Its around 12a now, the driver brings me more paperwork to sign. I cracked window to get it. It stated to sign if my furniture was delivered in good condition. I didnt sign.The driver never signed anything and wouldnt after I told him too.He started acting eratic again.
I called the police again and left. I waited across the street for them. They camed and I told them about what was happening. The police got the code and went to talk to them. They came out with the police parked truck on side of road with strange guys with him. The driver walked over to my car asking for that paperwork. I told I didnt have it that I had thrown it away he started acting eratic again but the police stopped him. He left and the police waited until I went back and locked storage. Thats when I found all my furniture broken, damaged and mattresses filtey nasty dirty. I have pictures!! Im so upset and distressed.

Betsy DeVos Would Allow States To Discriminate Against LGBT Students
In explaining why he believes gay sex is a sin,
televangelist Pat Robertson declared gay sex is not "very pretty."
Robertson, an ardent opponent of gay
rights, made his remarks during The 700 Club's Bring It
On-Line segment, in which he answers viewers' questions.
"Why is it a sin to be gay?" a
viewer asked. "It seems awfully arbitrary. I know many gays who
believe that Christ died for our sins. They love God, believe in the
power of prayer, fasting and tithing. It is hard for me to believe
that a loving God would condemn an otherwise good-hearted person just
for loving the same gender. Can you please help me understand this?"
"Sex is for marriage," Robertson
said in response. "So, God established marriage between a man and
a woman."
"Now, what happens to homosexuals?
You can have a tendency, that's no sin. You can be attracted to the
same sex, no problem. But when you start having sex with that
person, I don't want to get graphic – that guy on Duck Dynasty
got graphic and got a little disgusting. But when you see what they
do, it's not very pretty."
"I want to say this, too: Nobody can
ever produce a child through homosexual sex or lesbian sex. … This
is for procreation and God has said that those who violate it the
land will vomit them out."
"It isn't for us to tell God what's
fair and what isn't fair. He set it up this way and this is the way
he wants it. He holds all the cards."
"These people are nice and they go to
church and all this kind of stuff but they're out there doing
something that God says [is] wrong. It's wrong." (The video is

Next week is Spring Break for my son and I am putting him to work. Preschoolers are natural sorters, want to act like grown ups and gain confidence from being helpful. Here is my list of Spring Cleaning activities we are going to tackle.
Books and Toys. We are going to sit down with 3 bins "Keep" "Broken" "Donate" and sort! Do not forget to take your child with you when you donate the toys to GoodWill, local shelter or other charity. If your child can write have them list the items for donation for your records.
You can get a pack of micro fiber cloths for next to nothing at the dollar store. No need to add any chemicals, just wipe! Little hands are great for getting between spindles on railings, chairs and coffee tables. When I tell my son how I can't do something but he can it makes it and hom that much more important.
Toy Wash
Gather up all the yard toys, a little dish soap, a sponge and the garden hose. Wash the sand pails, riding toys, balls etc... I have a feeling this will be the most fun!
Kids want to be helpful, so make it fun and everyone can benefit!

The risk of flooding is defined as a function of both the probability of a flood happening and its impact. In urban areas, the impact can be very high because the areas affected are densely populated and contain vital infrastructure. The reason for increased flooding in urban areas is twofold. Firstly, increased urbanisation has resulted in developments encroaching on floodplains, obstructing floodways and the loss of natural flood storage. Secondly, increased urbanisation has resulted in increased impervious areas such as roads, roofs and paving which create more rainwater water run-off.
To establish the flood risk associated with individual sites or catchments PUNCH Consulting Engineers can undertake Flood Risk Assessments in conjunction with River Flow Modeling.
PUNCH Consulting Engineers recognise that the Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) approach to drainage reduces flood risk, minimises diffuse pollution, maintains or restores natural flow regimes and improves water resources while enhancing amenity. PUNCH have varied and extensive experience in the design of SUDS systems.

Usher tweeted a heartfelt message in honor of his late stepson, Kile Glover. Just a week after Kile's funeral in Atlanta, Usher shared his pain with more than four million Twitter followers.
Usher expressed to his fans the sense of pain and loss he is still feeling from his stepson Kile Glover's death. Kile died on July 21 at just 11 years old following a tragic jet ski accident that rendered him brain dead.
Kile was officially laid to rest on July 27, and Usher took to Twitter a week letter to send a message to his late stepson.
"I miss you too. Silent is golden moments like that are worth a million expressions," Usher wrote.
"Not sayin much cuz I'm tryin' not be
#misunderstood. URIV," he continued.
It seems Usher is sharing his pain with fans as part of the healing process.
Our thoughts are with Usher and Kile's family during this difficult time.

Shares of streaming radio service Pandora Media (P) were down nearly 18% in after-hours trading Tuesday, after the company's Q4 revenue and earnings guidance missed Wall Street expectations.
But the company late Tuesday reported fiscal Q3 results that beat the consensus forecast of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
Pandora said revenue rose 61% from the year-earlier quarter to $120 million, where analysts had expected $117 million. Earnings per share minus special items of 5 cents beat consensus estimates by a penny. That's up from 2 cents in the year-earlier quarter.
For the current quarter, though, Pandora expects revenue of $120 million to $123 million, below the consensus estimates of $130.3 million. It expects a loss minus items of 6 cents to 9 cents. Analysts were expecting a 1-cent loss.
Shares of Pandora rose 5.5% in Tuesday's regular session, to 9.45.
Last quarter, Pandora launched its biggest redesign, version 4.0, for the Apple (AAPL) operating system and Google (GOOG) Android platforms. Pandora said Q3 ad revenue rose 61% to $106.3 million, while subscription and other revenue rose 52% to $13.7 million.
"This quarter exceeded our expectations as we monetized mobile at record levels and grew total mobile revenue 112%," Pandora CEO Joe Kennedy said in the earnings press release.
Pandora ended the quarter with $80.5 million in cash and equivalents and short-term investments, down from $82.3 million in the previous quarter. Total listener hours rose 67% to 3.56 billion, compared with 2.12 billion in the year-ago quarter.
Pandora's rivals include Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) and Spotify, while digital music heavyweight Apple is seen readying its own streaming music services by early 2013, as IBD has reported.

If you could ask the Chinese Search market one thing…
As everyone will well know, and is eagerly anticipating, Tamar is attending the Search Engine Strategies conference this Friday/Saturday in Xiamen, China. Second only to the Olympics, Search Engine Strategies is the event of the year in Asia.
We are particularly looking forward to the opportunity to be able to demystify the Chinese web to some extent. Having so many search-interested people in one place at one time, we thought this would be an ideal opportunity to let loose Amy with her camera and Bing with his notebook, to get the low down on the search market in China – straight from the horse's mouth.
So, you are all welcome to comment on this post with what questions you want Amy and Bing to ask the good people of SES Xiamen, don't be shy!

Supplying Model Makers since 1895
Telephone us on: 01508 549330
OcCre's impressive model of a Dennis London B-Type Bus is quality wood and metal kit containing all the parts necessary for making an accurate replica.
Photographic instructions make building easy.
B-type buses were built in Walthamstow and replaced the previous X-type buses. The B-type had a seating capacity for 34 persons, 16 inside and 18 on the uncovered top deck and is considered to have been the first mass produced bus. The first of these buses began to carry passengers in 1911. By 1913 around 2500 had entered into service. This model was designed by Frank Searle, who was chief engineer at the LGOC. It had a wooden frame, steel wheels a worm drive and chain gearbox. It had a top speed of 16 mph, which was above the legal speed limit at that time of 12 mph; however some of these buses could reach speeds of around 30-35 mph in the right conditions. A total of 900 B-type buses were used to move troops behind the lines during the First World War. The Imperial War Museum still conserves one of these buses, B 43, which was affectionately know as Ole Bill after the contemporary cartoon character.
The original B 340 is still conserved at the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden, and has been restored.

All medical procedures involve risks. Anyone claiming 100% success rates with no risk of complications should be viewed with a great deal of suspicion. Even getting the flu vaccine carries some risk!
Generally speaking, all spine procedures carry some level of the following risks: Pain, numbness or clumsiness. Impaired muscle function or paralysis. Incontinence, impotence or impaired bowel function. Unstable spine. Recurrence, continuation or worsening of the condition that required the operation or procedure. Injury to major blood vessels. Hemorrhage. Persistent back pain. Bleeding/epidural hematoma. Infection. Brain damage. Permanent organ damage. Memory dysfunction/memory loss.
The procedures performed by North American Spine partner physicians carry these same risks. However, many of the severe risks of traditional spine surgery – namely, paralysis or mortality – are significantly mitigated by minimally invasive procedures. In fact, we have no documented cases of these extreme complications.
Further discussion of some of these risks and complications follows:
Any time the skin is punctured, there is a risk of infection. The incision for the procedure is less than 1/4″ long, while our cervical procedure is performed through a needle-stick. The risk of infection is much less than with many traditional procedures.
Whenever a physician is working around the spine, there is a possibility that the dural sac may be punctured. If this should occur, a small amount of spinal fluid may leak out, potentially causing a headache commonly known as a "spinal headache". While not dangerous, this headache is quite uncomfortable. Fortunately, there is a relatively simple remedy known as a blood patch which involves injecting blood (drawn from the patient's arm) into the sac to allow its natural clotting action to seal the puncture. To reiterate, this is a risk during any procedure involving the spine, including a labor epidural.
Nerve Damage
All spine patients are very concerned about nerve damage, and rightly so. It is certainly a risk of all spine procedures. However, there are several mitigating factors that act to minimize this risk to our patients.
1) Spinal Cord Stops above Lumbar Spine — The spinal cord that controls nervous system functions stops at the bottom of the Thoracic Spine. It branches out into bunches of nerve roots which extend out into the lower body starting at the top of the lumbar spine. The catheter for the lumbar procedure only extends up through the lumbar chain and thus does not present a danger to the "main" spinal cord.
2) Direct Visualization in HD — Because of our unique approach, the procedure allows the physician a unique view of the anatomy of the spinal canal through a fiber-optic endoscopic camera. All of our physicians undergo a rigorous training program that enables them to distinguish between disc tissue, scar tissue, nerves and other matter. No other procedure gives the physician a comparable image and subsequent ability to navigate the space.
3) Intra-Operative Nerve Monitoring — North American Spine's procedures are performed under a "light" general anesthesia. Patients breathe under their own power, and while they are essentially unconscious, the patient's body can respond to stimuli. As a result, if the physician comes anywhere near the nerve roots, the nerve response will register as an electronic signal on the sophisticated intra-operative nerve monitoring systems we use and the physician knows to move the instruments away from the nerve. These systems electronically monitor nerve function and alert care providers upon the slightest disturbance of nerve roots.
4) Intermittent Laser — The laser that is used in the procedures described on this site has an extremely short range of dispersion and only fires a few millimeters. In addition, it is fired in intermittent bursts by the physician using a foot pedal. If he or she is too close to a nerve, the monitoring alarms will sound and the physician will adjust appropriately. Even if the physician were to hit a nerve with the laser, the nerve monitoring system and the patient's reaction would immediately tell him or her and most importantly, the nerve would NOT be severed. If a physician makes a similar mistake with a scalpel, however, the damage would be permanent. For this reason and the others described above, nerve damage is far less likely with our procedures than with most others.
Pain, Weakness, Numbness
Patients may experience post-surgical pain around their incision. They may also have short-term pain in the lower back caused by irritation of the nerves during the procedure.
Further, many patients experience some short-term weakness or numbness in their legs for some period following the procedure. This is believed to be caused by temporary inflammation of nerve roots due to renewed blood flow experienced when the nerve is decompressed. A good comparison is the numbness and "pins and needles" pain you may feel when a limb that has fallen asleep experiences renewed blood flow, and resolves over time. This associated leg weakness has been observed to last from a few days up to, in extreme cases, 6 months. In some instances, these symptoms can persist indefinitely.
It is worth noting that patients with these post-procedure symptoms typically say they would have the procedure again, and that temporary leg weakness is a small price to pay for relief of their pain.
Foot Drop
Another risk that exists with all spine procedures, "foot drop" occurs when the patient loses dorsiflexion (the ability to bend the foot upward from the ankle joint) permanently. Similar symptoms may occur on a temporary basis after the procedure, but resolve over time. As a transitory effect, this is NOT true foot drop. Permanent cases of this complication are very rare, but it is a risk.
In Closing:
We list these risks to educate our patients. It's important to state again that these risks exist with ALL spinal procedures. If you are considering another procedure and are never informed of these risks, be wary. This list is not comprehensive or exhaustive and we welcome your questions.

Have you put into writing what would happen to your pets should they survive you or you become incapacitated? Does anyone else know? If you're like a lot of pet parents, you've thought about it but just haven't gotten around to making an actual, legally-binding plan for this worst-case scenario. Maybe you're young and healthy, but don't let that fool you--accidents, natural disasters, and other tragedies can leave your pets without able caretakers.
Molly Wootton, a pet parent and founder of Molly's Mutts and Meows, a Los Angeles-based rescue, shares a horror story: "The niece of a woman we know said she would care for her aunt's dog, should her aunt pass. Well, at the age of 70, the aunt passed during a simple shoulder surgery. The niece wanted nothing to do with the dog. It was terrible."
Without proper plans outlined in a will, and funds set aside in a trust, your pets could end up in a shelter, left behind in your empty house, be let loose to fend for themselves on the streets, or worse. Luckily, you can take the steps now to provide for your pets for the rest of their lives, regardless of what happens to you.
A pet trust is a legally-sanctioned plan that provides for the care and maintenance of your pets in the event of your death or incapacitation (pet trusts are recognized in all states except Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Mississippi - to assess your options if you live in one of those states, click here). It can either be its own document or included as part of your larger will or trust.
To set up a trust for your pet, you can contact your family attorney or a law firm that specializes in pet trusts. There are also websites such as legalzoom, and software like Quicken WillMaker, that provide helpful and legit ways of getting this pet-specific task done on your own. (Note: be sure to carefully read about the legality and terms of any self-serve tools you use, and ask questions of the service to ensure your pets are fully protected. If you have any doubts, it can't hurt to have your final product looked at by a lawyer, just to be safe.)
Joe McHugh is an attorney at LA Law Center, LLP, and his wife, Kathy, is their VP for Business Development. They warn: "You need to see an attorney that understands and also cares for pets to ensure the documents are prepared properly. Some discounted legal services can cause more trouble than good when it comes to estate planning for family and pets."
Kathy says, "around 25% of clients want to have pet language in their estate planning documents. [Interest in this among our clients] is increasing, especially since we advertise this service on our website. Sometimes people call just to create a pet trust, as their pets are their only family." But creating a pet trust isn't just for the "eccentric or rich," as LA Law Center's website points out. Lisa Rakiewicz of Streamwood, IL, is a mom and former pet parent (her cats have since passed) who says "we added pets the first time we created our wills simply because we owned pets and wanted them cared for. Just as one would for a child. The plan was for all pets to stay together--and to remain with our child as well."
When putting together your pet trust and will, you can never be too specific. Be as detailed as possible and update it frequently. Some things to include:
When determining how much money to set aside in your pet trust, you should strike a balance between making sure you provide enough to cover your pet's needs but not giving so much that it could lead to unsavory battles over the funds. Consider:
In your trust, you can identify the person (or people) who will be your pet's guardian or the party responsible for finding a new home for your pet, and you can identify a party responsible for the management of funds and administration of the will and trust. Just make sure that you approach the parties, ask them formally, and have serious discussions about your desired role for them; don't just write them into the trust and assume they will be okay with it.
Be thoughtful with your selection--consider parties who are animal people themselves and parties who will respect your wishes. If you don't have any family members or friends who would be a good fit, don't despair. Poly Veitzer, a cat parent and animal rescue volunteer in Los Angeles, CA suggests, "talk to the rescue the animals are from (or an unrelated one). Make sure to leave money! The more money available, the more likely a rescue will step in to help even if they aren't the rescue the animal is from."
Veitzer says, "I have an executor of the will who will manage the money part--she is also a board member of a reputable rescue. My two female cats will go back to their rescuer. She and I are still friends and she will take care to place them in a proper home! 2/3 of the money is set aside for that. The rest of it goes for my little boy cat. He will most likely go to the rescue my executor is on the board of."
While having multiple parties involved as caretaker, trustee, and executor helps with checks and balance, it might not be a bad idea to get all of your parties together around the same table to make sure everyone is on the same page. Nancy Wild of Woodland Hills, CA tells how she was the identified caretaker of a cat in a friend's will, but that she ultimately had a lot of problems with her friend's sisters, who were the trustees and executors. When the cat had medical problems and Wild attempted to reach the sisters for reimbursement, as provided for in the trust, "I'd call them about the bill, and they'd start acting like lunatics and [threatening me]. Just downright nutty and scary stuff!" Even though there is no absolute guarantee all will go well once you're gone, taking time now to mitigate problems can go a long way.

Giant Bomb includes games from ancient systems and phone games yet does not seem to include any flash games. Why is this?

Are there any flash games of importance? Things like N+ or Castle Crashers may have started as flash but made their way into other systems. The only phone games on the site are ones of note. The iOS app store gets over 150 new games a day and almost none of those are on the site. The site also doesn't have any pre smart phone cell phone games like those flip phone versions of Call of Duty 2 and Need for Speed Underground. If there are any flash games that warrant it I'd suspect they'd be listed as PC or Mac.

There has to be some bar for creation, and with console and PC releases it's pretty easy to keep of track of where that bar is. If you allow the posting of some flash games on the wiki then you run the risk of people just creating pages for every flash game out there, of which the numbers are near infinite.

The problem with allowing flash games is that there is a lot of flash games, ( which is good ), there is very little bar to make a flash game ( which is good ), but the information on spific games, is very little.
There is a web platform, for releases I believe. or at least there was.
there are a lot of flash games, like a lot and anyone can make them. That would be the biggest headache to manage. And the fact that they are on a site like newgrounds should be enough. I mean does a generic tetris flash game deserve a page? would anyone care what else that user made (which would be under his profile on what ever site he is uploading too)?
I think old Jeff quoted by @gkhan is pretty spot on

Anyway, browser games are acceptable (BTW, not all Flash games are browser game/vice-versa); the staff/mods have stated that you're free to add browser gamers - provided they have been written about in some editorial capacity, have some kind of monetisation, and/or are developed by an otherwise known developer (for example, The Border Lands).

Ahh, I missed that category. Thanks
And to everyone saying they are all crap. Yes there is a lot of rubbish, but there are quite a few gems, such as Cursed Treasure, the Epic Battle fantasy series, The company of myself, Rebuild and Diamond hollow 2.
They are mostly retro games, but good ones.
@buckyball735: There are Flash games on the site. We allow games to be listed with "browser" as their platform and most of the games that are, are Flash games, but any browser-based game added to the wiki must be of at least some notability. Many of the browser-based games you'll see in the wiki are attached to larger non-browser games, have been released across multiple platforms, have been discussed by the staff, or are in some other way prominent. As Jeff said we have to draw the line somewhere, and while there are certainly Flash games that we should give recognition if we're trying to build a fully-formed game wiki, we see little worth in cataloguing every single Flash game that comes out.

I think the criteria that was handed to me before (which is flexible, though) is that it has to have some sort of notoriety, like having a release on other systems, or being developed by companies/people with credits on Giant Bomb for non-browser games. Also acceptable are ones that become newsworthy, I believe, like ones with articles at multiple different sites/magazines.

@buckyball735: Flash games fall under the Browser platform in the database. There are guidelines/rules for what qualifies for a page though, so make sure you understand them before creating any new pages.

@buckyball735: Just churning the thread for semantics at this point, but when people say "flash game" they deliberately give it a connotation of low quality. People who dismiss PHP as a way to create website apps are making the same point. Like what "Made in Taiwan" meant decades ago, but now that's where all our hard drives come from. :)
They don't normally mean a game literally "made with the Flash development platform", which in fact includes many games in the GB wiki on various hardware platforms, packaged as tidy little executables, like AIR. Flash, or more specifically ActionScript, doesn't exist as its own game engine, but it can create one. Just like you shouldn't be so vague to say a "C/C++ game", but you can say Unity game, which could potentially be assigned to the Browser platform. Do I really want to start saying "oh that's a Flixel game"? No, not really. But if it graduates to a full engine, it would be accurate.

They do exist on the site, listed under both PC and Browser depending on their distribution method. I created a page for the original Flash version of Alien Hominid as soon as it was allowed.

The Tube boss today launched a stinging attack on the Aslef train drivers union accusing it of holding London Underground (LU) "to ransom" after it ordered strikes on Boxing Day and two more next month.
Talks to try an avert the strikes broke up yesterday without agreement.
The union is demanding up to three days pay and a day off in lieu for working Boxing Day.
Howard Collins, LU chief operating officer, told the union that if it wanted to renegotiate the pay structure to do so when the current deal ends in April 2015 "rather than hold us to ransom.
"I am not going to give into it... unfortunately for the customers it is going to be a difficult Boxing Day."
Mr Collins said the union demanded £250 "up front" just to keep talking - a charge robustly denied.
The strikes, over pay and working bank holidays, will cause major disruption costing London retailers and West End stores tens of millions of pounds by hitting the first of the post Christmas sales on Boxing Day - busiest time of the year.
It is the third successive Boxing Day strike with the two sides still arguing over a working agreement drawn up 20 years ago.
There were moves to get the two sides talking again but they remain at loggerheads.
Mr Collins said: "It is unbelievable that, rather than have serious discussions, some officials in the Aslef trade union would demand £250 up front just to keep talking.
"Hard pressed Londoners, shop workers and businesses in the city will wonder what world they are in.
"Train drivers are paid a salary (about £46,000) that reflects some bank holiday working. However, we also know everyone deserves time off which is why fewer drivers are rostered to work this Boxing Day."
He added: "Londoners will rightly ask how being paid twice for the same day's work ever makes sense - but especially in these tough economic times. We will seek to reconvene talks - in our case with no preconditions. We call on Aslef members to think very hard again about this issue."
The 1992 agreement increased salaries in return for changes to working conditions - including working "some" bank holidays.
Aslef says conditions on the Tube have changed dramatically since then and its members are now working all or most bank holidays.
Steve Grant, the union's London district secretary and former driver, said: "Our members for the third year will be with their families like millions of others who are not forced to work on this special day.
"The fact that LU management has left it until now when they have had all year to resolve it, then expect us to pay with productivity to volunteer to come in begs belief."
Aslef controls half the Tube's 3,500 drivers. The majority of the remainder belong to the RMT union which is not involved in the dispute - but many of those may refuse to cross Aslef picket lines adding to the disruption.
LU is planning a major contingency operation to run as many trains as possible on strike days - but there will be huge disruption across the network.
Lines will be part suspended or run with a severely reduced service. Strikes will also take place on 18 and 25 January, the last two Fridays of the month.

Asia stocks down as China factory output slips
A visitor takes a picture of an electronic stock board on [auth] the Tokyo Stock Exchange in Tokyo, Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Asian stock markets were mostly higher Wednesday after investor confidence was boosted by a Federal Reserve official's comments that the U.S. central bank should stick with its super-easy monetary policy. (AP Photo/Itsuo Inouye)
BANGKOK (AP) — Asian stock markets fell Thursday, weighed down by a contraction in China's manufacturing that adds to signs a shaky recovery in the world's No. 2 economy is slowing.
HSBC Corp. said its preliminary Purchasing Managers Index fell to a seven-month low of 49.6 in May from April's 50.4. Numbers below 50 indicate that activity is contracting. Analysts had expected a slight decline to 50.3 for the most recent month.
Investors also recoiled from stocks after mixed messages by the U.S. Federal Reserve on the future of its massive bond-buying program sent Wall Street on a rollercoaster ride.
U.S. stocks shot up early Wednesday after Fed chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress that it was too soon for the central bank to pull back on its monetary stimulus. The Fed has been buying massive amounts of government bonds and keeping short-term interest rates near zero to encourage people and businesses to borrow and spend more.
The Dow ended the day lower, however, after minutes released from the Fed's latest policy meeting showed some Fed officials are willing to scale back the stimulus effort, dubbed quantitative easing or QE, as early as June if the economy picks up.
Investors have flocked to stocks because returns on bonds have dwindled due to the Fed's efforts to keep rates down. Bu the Fed minutes sowed doubt whether massive gains in stock markets will continue. There are also fears about how the economy will perform once monetary stimulus is withdrawn, another negative for stocks.
"Bernanke wants to wait and see how the data unfold before tapering back on QE. Three or four more hawkish members think they've seen enough and, absent surprises, want to get started as early as June," said analysts at DBS Bank Ltd. in Singapore.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng dived 1.7 percent to 22,867.47. South Korea's Kospi lost 0.7 percent to 1,980.21. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 plunged 1.9 percent to 5,069.60. Benchmarks in Singapore, Taiwan and mainland China also fell.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index bucked the trend, gaining 0.2 percent to 15,662.95.
On Wednesday, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 0.5 percent to close at 15,307.17. The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 0.8 percent to 1,655.35. The Nasdaq composite index fell 1 percent to 3,463.30.
Benchmark oil for July delivery was down 59 cents to $93.69 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract lost $1.90 to close at $94.28 a barrel on the Nymex on Wednesday.
In currencies, the euro $1.2842 from $1.2845 late Wednesday in New York. The dollar fell to 103.04 from 103.15.

This company is definitely a scam! I agreed to let them collect an account totalling approximately $3680.40. They required a check for $1892.00 on May 1, 2013. Then they came back to me on June 24, 2013 and required another $1000.00. They told me they had done a search and located a savings account in a bank and in order to freeze the account before the party took the money out they needed the money to get the judge to secure the savings account. I paid them the $1000.
What a sucker I was, This is the first bad debt I have ever tried to collect and with the crappy taste it left in my mouth, I will never trust anyone again. I am only doing this to stop them from scaming anyone else.
