Importance Provides an approach to osseous free flap selection for reconstruction of segmental mandible defects that takes into consideration general medical status of the patient and reconstruction requirements; demonstrates the complementary qualities of fibular and subscapular system free flaps; and describes the different surgical indications for lateral border scapular and scapular tip free flaps.
Objectives To review our experience with osseous mandible reconstruction comparing the fibular and subscapular system free flaps, determine reconstruction-specific and general health variables that may differ between these patient groups, and present our approach to oromandibular reconstruction.
Design Retrospective study.
Setting Academic tertiary care medical center.
Participants A total of 110 patients (68 male, 42 female) undergoing single-stage oromandibular reconstructions with free-tissue transfers between May 1, 2006, and May 30, 2012.
Intervention Single-stage oromandibular reconstruction with free-tissue transfer.
Main Outcome Measures Differences in patient demographics, bone and soft-tissue aspects of the reconstruction, operative time, flap outcomes, and major postoperative complications between fibular, lateral scapular border, and scapular tip free flaps.
Results A total of 110 patients underwent 113 reconstructions, including 58 fibular free flaps (FFFs) (51.3%) and 55 subscapular system flaps (48.7%). Of the subscapular system free flaps, 27 flaps (49%) were scapular tip free flaps (STFFs) based on the angular artery branch of the thoracodorsal pedicle; the remaining 28 cases were lateral scapular border flaps (LSBFs). Patients undergoing reconstruction with FFFs were significantly younger than their subscapular system flap counterparts (56 vs 70 years, P < .001). Mean mandible defect lengths were similar for patients undergoing FFF and LSBF reconstruction (7.8 and 7.7 cm, respectively); STFFs were used to reconstruct significantly shorter defects (mean, 6.0 cm, P < .001). The FFFs were more commonly used for anterior mandible defects in which multiple osteotomies and limited soft tissue were required, while subscapular flaps were more commonly used for linear mandible defects with complex soft-tissue requirements. A single complete flap loss occurred in a patient who underwent reconstruction with an STFF; other complication rates were similar between groups.
Conclusions and Relevance The FFFs and subscapular flaps are complementary options for oromandibular reconstruction. The FFF is ideal for younger patients, extended defects, multiple osteotomies, and limited soft-tissue requirements. The subscapular system free flaps (LSBF and STFF) are excellent options for (1) elderly patients; (2) those with significant comorbidities, such as peripheral vascular disease; and (3) mandible defects associated with complex soft-tissue requirements. Furthermore, the STFF offers a reliable option to reconstruct short-segment defects, in particular, defects involving the angle of the mandible.
With developments and refinements in free-tissue transfers, several options are now available for reconstructing segmental oromandibular defects. This has enabled ideal flap selection to optimize the functional and aesthetic outcomes for patients. In most cases, the particulars of the defect determine the type of flap chosen. Along with other advantages and disadvantages posed by the various options, donor site morbidity is an important consideration. Furthermore, an aging population poses additional challenges in flap selection and postoperative management.
Contemporary choices for osseous free flap reconstruction include the fibular free flap (FFF), subscapular system free flaps (including lateral scapular border flaps [LSBFs] and scapular tip free flaps [STFFs]), iliac crest free flap (ICFF), and radial forearm osseous free flap (ROFF). Over the past 2 decades, the FFF has become the most popular because of its anatomic reliability, ease of elevation, ability to use a 2-team approach, and acceptable donor site morbidity.1,2 Although the soft-tissue component may have limitations, most defects are readily reconstructed with the reliable fasciocutaneous paddle.3- 5 Most important, the FFF provides quality and length of vascularized bone that is unrivaled by other bone flaps. Although some surgeons prefer the ICFF or the ROFF, these options have become less popular for various reasons, including donor-site morbidity and limited bone stock (ROFF).6- 8
The subscapular system provides an excellent potential donor site for oromandibular reconstruction. The bone stock is sufficient for most segmental mandibular defects, and the bone may be harvested as a lateral border based on the circumflex scapular pedicle or as the scapular tip based on the angular branch of the thoracodorsal pedicle. Each of these subscapular options has unique advantages and disadvantages, but overall, the soft tissue abundance and versatility are unmatched by other composite flaps. An additional benefit is the reduced amount of vascular disease within the subscapular system, even in older patients.9,10 An important advantage in eliminating lower extremity surgery may be the allowance of early ambulation in the postoperative setting, which may be particularly important for elderly patients and those with significant comorbidities.11 One specific advantage of the STFF is pedicle lengths of up to 17 cm, which may be ideal in selected situations.12- 14
The objective of this study was to review 6 years of experience with osseous reconstruction of segmental mandibular defects using both FFF and subscapular system free flaps (LSBF and STFF), analyze the changing trends over time, and discuss our current philosophy of flap selection.
A retrospective analysis was performed on all patients undergoing mandible reconstruction with either FFF or subscapular system free-tissue transfer (LSBF and STFF) at the Victoria Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre, between May 1, 2006, and May 30, 2012.
Data relating to patient demographics, tumor staging, flap selection, flap-related complications, and general medical complications were collated. Specific information regarding defect length, number of osteotomies, use of vein grafts, soft-tissue paddle design and dimensions, revascularization, and operative times was also recorded. Group differences with respect to age, defect length, duration of operative procedure, and skin paddle size were examined using 1-way analysis of variance, and differences associated with sex and numbers of osteotomies were analyzed with nonparametric statistics.
A total of 113 flaps were constructed in 110 patients (68 male, 42 female) who underwent single-stage oromandibular reconstruction with free-tissue transfers. Three patients required 2 separate flaps at different times during the review period. The flaps consisted of 58 fibular (51.3%) and 55 subscapular system (48.7%) flaps. Of the subscapular system free flaps, 27 (49%) were STFFs based on the angular artery branch of the thoracodorsal pedicle, and the remaining 28 were harvested from the lateral scapular border (LSBF). The absolute and relative numbers of each of these free flaps during the study period are illustrated in Figure 1. Patient and free flap characteristics are summarized in Table 1.
The mean age across the entire cohort was 62 years (range, 16-90 years). Patients receiving either type of subscapular flap were significantly older than FFF patients (70 vs 56 years, P < .001). There was no significant age difference between the 2 subscapular system flap groups (Table 1). Mean mandible defect lengths were similar for patients undergoing FFF and LSBF reconstruction (7.8 and 7.7 cm, respectively); STFFs were used to reconstruct significantly shorter defects (mean, 6.0 cm, P < .001, Table 1).
Operative times (ie, procedure stop time minus procedure start time) did not differ significantly between the fibular and scapular groups, with a mean procedure length of 9 hours 19 minutes for FFFs compared with a combined mean operative time of 9 hours 47 minutes for subscapular system flaps (unpaired, 2-tailed t test, P = .08). When examined across the 3 groups, a small significant difference was detected: LSBF operative times (mean, 10 hours 19 minutes) tended to be longer than those of FFF and STFF (mean, 9 hours 19 minutes and 9 hours 18 minutes, respectively). There was no significant difference between the FFF and STFF groups, and none of the pairwise comparisons reached statistical significance (Table 1).
The FFF was used more often for anterior mandible defects, when multiple osteotomies were required (two-thirds of patients required osteotomies), and for limited soft-tissue requirements (Figure 2). Subscapular flaps were more commonly used for linear mandible defects with complex soft-tissue requirements (Figure 3). The higher rate of osteotomies observed with LSBF compared with STFF reflects the difference in mean length between these 2 flap options, with an osteotomy required in only 1 case in the STFF group. Two LSBF cases required vein grafts. One of these was in a patient who had received chemoradiation and was undergoing oromandibular reconstruction, and the other was in a complex maxillomandibular reconstruction requiring a double flap.
The need for soft-tissue paddles differed across the 3 types of flaps. In approximately half the STFF cases (14 of 27), no skin paddle was incorporated. The mucosal defect was either closed primarily or reconstructed with muscle that was allowed to remucosalize. In comparison, 11 of 58 FFF cases did not incorporate a skin paddle. Only 1 LSBF case was harvested as a bone-only flap. With respect to the size of the skin paddle, FFF cases incorporated significantly smaller skin paddles compared with those of the LSBF, with mean paddle areas of 48.6 cm2 and 107.0 cm2, respectively (P < .001) (Table 1).
A single complete flap loss occurred in a patient who received an STFF. Flap complications, including early vascular compromise, head and neck or donor-site hematomas, seromas requiring intervention, nonunion/malunion, and hardware exposure or removal are outlined within Table 2. Perioperative complications are also detailed for both cohorts. There were no perioperative mortalities in either group.
With several options available, many factors must be considered in selecting the optimal reconstruction for patients undergoing segmental oromandibular resection. When a free flap reconstruction is being planned, issues at the forefront of flap selection include bone and soft-tissue requirements. In addition, however, changing demographics with an aging population will present different challenges to the health care team. Factors such as donor-site morbidity, the general medical condition of the patient, and the need for early ambulation may be considered in the decision-making process.
For cases of oromandibular reconstruction, the FFF has gained and retained wide popularity because of the consistent anatomy, reliable soft-tissue paddle, and convenience of a 2-team approach. The most significant advantage of the FFF is the quality, length, and versatility of the bone. Several factors may preclude the use of the fibula as a first-line option, such as abnormal leg anatomy or evidence of vascular insufficiency. Furthermore, for patients with significant comorbidities, the desire for early ambulation may mitigate the use of flaps obtained from the legs. The present review demonstrates this principle in our institution, where similar defects were reconstructed differently based on general patient factors, with the mean age of the fibular patient almost 15 years younger than that of the subscapular cohort (Table 1). A retrospective analysis such as this is not able to determine whether flap selection made on the basis of general patient well-being improved the overall outcome. However, our current data demonstrate similar low rates of flap-related complications and general medical perioperative complications across both cohorts.
The location and length of the mandible defect significantly affected selection of the reconstructive method. The benefits of the FFF for extended defects and reconstructions requiring closing osteotomies have been well described.15- 18 However, when anatomic or patient factors preclude the use of the fibula, the LSBF is a reliable alternative. Furthermore, when concurrent extensive soft tissue is needed, the subscapular system is superior to the FFF.
For short-segment linear defects up to 8 cm, defects that involve the mandibular angle, and revision surgery, the STFF has been shown to provide reliable bone stock with excellent pedicle length19 (Figure 4A and B). The harvesting osteotomies in these cases can be tailored such that no excess bone is taken. The shoulder function following STFF has been demonstrated to be excellent.20
For defects in excess of 8 cm or when osteotomies are required, our preferred flaps are the FFF and LSBF, both representing reliable options for reconstructions up to 12 cm. In this regard, our series of LSBF was similar to the series by Louis et al,21 in which the maximal length measured 13 cm. The mean defect length of approximately 8 cm was similar in our series for both the FFF and LSBF. These differed significantly from defects reconstructed with STFF, in which the longest STFF used was 8 cm (Table 1). Other specific clinical indications in which the STFF is beneficial have been published.19
For defects longer than 12 cm, the fibula remains our first-line option. Descriptions of extended defects reconstructed by incorporating the lateral border and the scapular tip have been published.22,23 In our present series, we were fortunate that the fibula was an option in all patients with defects larger than 12 cm.
Our need for osteotomies with the different flaps is a reflection of our preference for flap use for the varying defect sites. In most cases, anterior defects were reconstructed with FFF. In contrast, short-segment linear defects were reconstructed with the subscapular system. During the past 5 years, there has been a gradual shift from the LSBF to the STFF for the short-segment defect. Especially for defects that involve the mandibular angle, the shape of the STFF bone harvest may mitigate the need for osteotomies. This is reflected in our present series, with only 1 of 27 STFFs requiring an osteotomy.
The likelihood of dental rehabilitation with enosseous implantation was not considered in our flap selection algorithm. It is well known that the FFF can accept implants. Although there is less experience with scapular bone, the LSBF has been shown8,24- 26 to compare favorably with other composite free flaps with regard to dental implantation in long-term follow-up studies. Various techniques have been described to improve the vertical height of both FFF and scapular bone. The fibula height can be enhanced by "double barreling," and vertical distraction osteogenesis is also possible with both scapula and fibula.27 In addition, patients undergoing reconstruction with STFF can undergo dental implantation, as demonstrated by Clark et al.20 In our series, very few patients received dental implantation, but the reasons were unrelated to the type of flap.
The significant advantage of the subscapular system over the FFF is in the versatility of the soft-tissue paddles that can be harvested as part of a single free flap. This allows refinements in soft-tissue repair and may also negate the need for multiple free flaps in selected cases.28,29 Elegant and complex descriptions of multiple soft-tissue paddles associated with FFF have been reported.30 Nevertheless, the availability of considerable tissue bulk, broad surface area, and excellent mobility of the soft tissue relative to the bone makes the scapular chimeric flap the first-line choice for single-flap reconstruction of complex 3-dimensional oromandibular defects.
This present series demonstrated significantly larger mean skin paddle dimensions of the LSBF compared with the FFF skin flap (107.0 vs 48.6 cm2, respectively). Although it was apparent that significantly larger volumes of soft tissue were available with the subscapular system of flaps, the volume was not quantified. In addition to increased volume, the thoracodorsal division of the subscapular system allows the harvest of reliable soft-tissue components that can be positioned largely independent of the osseous component. With the use of the thoracodorsal pedicle in either LSBF or STFF, soft-tissue paddles usually can be designed as a local perforator-based myofascial or myocutaneous flap incorporating the latissimus dorsi or serratus anterior. In these instances, there is tremendous flexibility in the volume of soft tissue that can be harvested using these donor sites, with the donor site able to be primarily closed. The other option for soft-tissue design with the STFF is the incorporation of local myofascial components that insert onto the scapular tip—either the serratus anterior or the teres major muscles. In most cases in which STFF was used, the intraoral lining was reconstructed only with muscle, which was allowed to remucosalize.
The general medical status of the patient as well as careful assessment for vascular disease at potential donor sites is vital in selecting the appropriate flap for oromandibular reconstruction. Despite its popularity, the FFF may not always provide the best option for oromandibular reconstruction because of higher rates of peripheral vascular disease compared with the subscapular system. The presence of vascular disease within the residual posterior and anterior tibial pedicles may be a risk for inadequate blood supply to the leg and foot postoperatively and needs to be assessed either clinically or radiologically before surgery. Combined rates of anatomic anomalies and peripheral vascular disease precluding the safe harvest of the fibula flap have been reported as between 21% and 25%.31,32
In contrast, the subscapular system provides reliable composite free flap options with low rates of vascular disease, which makes it an excellent choice for elderly patients and those with evidence of peripheral vascular disease. Our current series demonstrates a significant difference in the age of patients undergoing reconstruction with FFF (mean, 56 years) compared with the subscapular system (LSBF, 68 years; STFF, 71 years).
An important benefit of the subscapular system over FFF is the ability to safely ambulate earlier following surgery, especially for elderly patients. This may reduce the risk of perioperative complications, including deep venous thrombosis and pneumonia. Our current series observed no significant difference in these complications between the different cohorts, even in the background of age differences.
This present study did not specifically measure factors relating to ambulation, such as time to begin ambulation, time to full weight bearing, or time to unassisted ambulation. However, the physiotherapy protocol and the patients' advancement of activities are dramatically different between patients undergoing FFF and scapular flaps. At our center, patients who undergo scapular flaps begin activity as tolerated, with no restrictions on weight bearing unless limited by preexisting conditions. In contrast, the affected leg of all FFF patients is splinted for 7 days, and the patients ambulate only with a gait aid, such as a standard roller walker and cast sandal. Most patients are able to bear weight approximately 25% to 50% in the first week if ambulating, and most patients are discharged with an appropriate gait aid that enables normal gait patterns, such as a standard walker, roller walker, or cane.
Length of surgery may be an important consideration, although free flap operations have been done with acceptable success rates in elderly patients.33- 35 In this data set, there were no significant differences in operative time between fibular and scapular flaps (9 hours 19 minutes vs 9 hours 47 minutes). There was, however, a small significant difference in the operative times of LSBF operations (10 hours 19 minutes), which lasted approximately 1 hour longer than FFF and STFF operations. Although analysis is beyond the scope of this review, the longer operations that incorporated the LSBF may be a consequence of more complex defects, especially with respect to soft-tissue reconstruction. Whether this small difference in longer operations was clinically important was not specifically addressed by this present review.
During the past 6 years, some interesting trends were noted. The rate of FFF has remained consistent, suggesting consistent selection criteria for FFF. In addition, the ratio of FFF to subscapular system flaps has remained consistent. However, there has been an important shift within the subscapular system of flaps. As more experience has been gained with the STFF, we have come to understand the distinct advantages of this flap as well as the clinical situations in which it is best applied. These include the elderly patient, short-segment linear defect, defects involving the mandibular angle, and revision surgery. Whereas in the past the LSBF may have been used, the shift has been away from LSBF in favor of the STFF. The STFF harvest has tended to be easier and quicker than the LSBF because of less muscular dissection and easier surgical approach. The STFF seems to cause less shoulder dysfunction than the LSBF, likely because of less disruption of the rotator cuff muscles. Although a direct comparison of shoulder function between LSBF and STFF was not done in this study, others have shown acceptable outcomes with near-normal range of motion following STFF.9,20 Shoulder functional assessment continues to be an area of active investigation at our center. At present, the LSBF is being used less frequently, most commonly for longer bone requirements or extensive soft-tissue defects where the FFF may be less desirable.
We have reported a single institution's evolving management paradigm for patients requiring oromandibular reconstruction, and our decision guidelines are presented in Figure 5. If the reconstruction is deemed to require a free-tissue transfer, our preference is to use a bone-containing free flap, even for the elderly patient. The FFF is our flap of choice in most young patients and in cases of extended bone defects of 12 cm or greater, anterior defects that require multiple osteotomies, limited soft-tissue requirements, and normal vascular anatomy. The subscapular system of flaps is our preference for elderly patients and patients with significant peripheral vascular disease, abnormal leg anatomy, or extensive soft-tissue requirements. In particular, the STFF is used for short-segment linear defects, mandibular angle defects, and when a long pedicle length is required.

A weird thing happened last week. A man in a van pulled over outside my home and asked: "Do you need a mattress?"
As it happened, I did — ours was 22 years old and, considering you're meant to change them every 10 years, was long in need of replacing.
It was so lumpy, with springs poking up in places, that I had to sleep in a contorted position, with limbs twisted at right angles.
So, yes, I said, I did need a mattress — desperately. The man proceeded to haul one out of the van and invite me to test it in the road — a bizarre sight.
He explained that a shop was closing down and they wanted to get rid of stock. He also mentioned that one of my neighbours had bought one the week before, which I verified.
It was properly packaged with a branded label, and looked to be just what we needed.
So, in a completely-out-of-character moment, I bought it.
When I rang my husband, he wasn't happy. "You can't just buy a mattress off the street!" he ranted, prompting me to have second thoughts, espec-ially since the man's calling card ticked every 'beware' box under the sun, having just a first name and mobile number.
Nowadays people are so suspicious and particularly wary of doorstep traders.
It's right that we should tread carefully because not everyone can be trusted, but there must surely be some situations that are genuine.
I've turned away people selling DIY tools, cleaning products, make-up and, despite it having been offered many times, I would never consider having my drive Tarmaced.
As I installed the mattress on the bed and removed the old one I felt pangs of sadness.
We bought it for our first home, and it has seen us through sickness and health, the conception of our children — who now bounce on it and have contributed to its demise — good and bad times.
But it had to go, before it punctured a lung or severed an artery.
After having the best night's sleep in years my husband had to eat his words.
I'm racked with worry though, having second thoughts and half expecting it to collapse or self-combust, in the night. I'm comfortable, but the stress is keeping me awake. If this column doesn't appear next week you'll know why.

The Southwest Indian Law Clinic (SILC) and the Law and Indigenous Peoples Program of the University of New Mexico School of Law held a fascinating multi-disciplinary symposium titled, "United States v. Sandoval: One Century Later," October 18-20, 2013 at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque.
Interwoven with the Sandoval program, SILC Co-Director Barbara Creel led the Second Annual Tribal Indigent Defense Symposium, inviting Tribal public defenders, Indian law and other clinicians, and practitioners to organize and discuss the indigent defense crisis in Indian Country.
The program brought together an array of tribal leaders, federal and tribal judges, practicing lawyers, historians, academics and clinicians to discuss the 1913 Supreme Court decision in United States v. Sandoval, a criminal case regarding alcohol in Indian Country.
The case, which ultimately validated the "Indian" status of the Pueblo people and their homelands, established an immensely important precedent asserting broad federal authority in Indian affairs generally, and included the Justices' blatant views on what made Pueblo peoples "Indian" in race.

Many people have no idea how to handle a lobster. This page is intended to be a brief guide for the uninitiated and includes instructions on cooking lobster.
Our lobsters are caught (in season) off the rough grounds of the north coast of Cornwall, where they live in the clean Atlantic Ocean water by traditional potting methods. The boats that supply us select the prime fish for us, and store them at sea until we need them. A small number are brought ashore for temporary storage in our tank as needed, to ensure a continuous supply if the weather is bad. We then cook them to order for sale as required each day.
Live Lobsters are comparatively hardy creatures. They store well in the bottom of the fridge, covered with a damp cloth and can survive for up to a week, though after travelling they may be weak and, as with Crabs, they should be checked regularly, if in any doubt cook straight away.
While we make every effort to ensure they arrive alive, we cannot guarantee it, but if they have expired during the journey they will still be good, provided you cook them straight away. Once cooked treat as any cooked food and store for up to four days in the coldest part of your fridge. DO NOT immerse in fresh water, unless you want to kill them.
It appears that there are many different ideas on the way a Lobster should be dispatched, from drowning in fresh water to dropping them into boiling water. Many of the ideas have a certain merit since a Lobster is a cold blooded creature with no brain as we understand it, except for its nervous system with two processing centres, and body fluids which are pumped around it's system by muscle movement. It is not possible to kill it, in the normal meaning of the word.
I believe the RSPCA suggests two hours in the freezer, however since we have a cold room which operates at 0 C to -1 C we simply put them in there for 4 to 5 hours where they cool slowly. This slows down their metabolism to such a low level that they peacefully sink into oblivion, then they are cooked without even knowing. There is some research being done on an electrical stunning system which is intended to be a more humane system.
Incidentally never remove the bands on it's claws, they were put there to prevent them eating each other as they are carnivorous, and they are very fast and strong at room temperature. Our tanks are maintained at below 6 C to slow them down but they will still have a go at me when I put my hand in.
Lobsters have a thinner shell than Crabs so require slightly less cooking time, otherwise the same system applies.
1. Using the largest saucepan/fish kettle you have, half fill
with fresh water and add plenty of salt, we use half a cup to a gallon of water
( 150g salt to 4 1/2 liters water) and bring to a vigorous boil.
2. Drop the Lobster in and bring back to the boil, won't take long.
3. When the water comes back to the boil start timing. We use 15 mins for Lobsters up to 1 1/2lb and add 5 mins per pound over that.
4. When the time is up, carefully pour the whole lot into your sink and wash off with fresh water to remove any surplus protein.
5. Allow time to cool then prepare as follows.
6. Pull off the claws and crack them, and remove the white meat.
7. Either Pull off the tail and peel like a prawn, then cut the body lengthwise in half. Remove the grey feathery gills. The top shell will have a little cream in as a crab, and the body (where the legs and claws were attached) contains more white meat. We find the handle of a teaspoon useful for extracting it.
8. Or Using a large pointed chopping knife, locate the centre of the cross conveniently located on the top of the shell, and push the point vertically through the shell and down through between the eyes. Turn the fish around and with the knife reversed in the same hole cut down through the tail. Separate the meat as above.
PLEASE NOTE:- Some Lobsters contain a green liver or "tamale" which may be eaten, and is
considered a delicacy by many lobster gourmets. Not everyone likes it, however,
so tread carefully if this is your first time. Females may contain eggs.
They may appear red and hard or black and gooey depending on their stage of
development. They are edible if rinsed first. (The eggs, like the tamale, are
for the seasoned explorer only!)

Husky Masks, Colors, Coat Patterns, and Coat Lengths
I know that choosing a puppy is a tough choice. To help families choose their puppies, I have created this page to show the different face masks, colors, coat patterns, and coat lengths of the Siberian Husky. I also wanted to demonstrate how the masks and colors can change as a siberian moves from a puppy into adulthood. All of the pictures below are pictures of our current huskies or past dogs that we have bred. I hope this page is helpful to anyone choosing a siberian.
Husky Masks
Husky masks tend to fade as they age. Below are pictures of the same dog as a baby and an adult so that you can see how much the mask lightens over time.

To create this look, invite your child to coat the outside of the pumpkin with black acrylic paint using a foam brush or roller. Once the pumpkin is dry,use tacky glue to squeeze dots around the painted gourd, and then press on big, glittering, clear plastic jewels. Finish it all off by painting the stem with silver acrylic paint.

In May 2011, Gaia partnered with Boku, a new mobile payment provider, to make it possible to get Gaia Cash almost anywhere in the world. In fact, mobile payments are now supported in almost twice as many countries as before.
Users can purchase Cash through the Gaia Cash System page. Cash Cards can also be bought in the American stores Rite Aid, Target, and select Wal-Mart stores, and then redeemed on the Gaia Cash System page.

The line-up is quite variable, including as well beauty queens, volleyball players, YouTube sensations and newly-reunited mother and daughter.
Those who will travel thousands of miles around the world in "The Amazing Race" season 17 have been unveiled. Eleven teams are comprised of among others; beauty queens, YouTube sensations, a capella singers and doctors.
But the one with the most interesting background story would be stay-at-home mom Andie DeKroon who is only reunited with her 21-year-old daughter Jenna Sykes. Andie gave up Jenna for adoption when she was still a baby. "I hope to get to know my birth mother through this incredible opportunity," Jenna said in her official CBS bio. "It is my hope that we will be able to spend a lot of time together and become friends."
Another notable pair is Michael and Kevin Wu who are father and son. Kevin at 20-years-old is officially the youngest contestant in "Amazing Race" history. But he is better known as the YouTube sensation who has over 1 million subscribers on his channel.
These 11 teams would visit four continents with the starting point at the Eastern Point Yacht Club in Gloucester, Massachusetts. The show will make first-time visits to Bangladesh, Ghana, and the Arctic Circle. The filming began in May and the season premieres on Sunday, September 26 with 90 minutes runtime.
The video profiles of the contestants are available at CBS.com.
Andie DeKroon (43) and Jenna Sykes (21): Mother/Daughter
Brook Roberts (27) and Claire Champlin (30): Home Shopping Hosts

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Thank you for your question,
I'm Dr. Saha and I'll try to help you.
How large are the bugs?
Scabies mite is very small.
Female mite is about 0.3-0.4 mm in length.
The male one is half of that.
If the bug is not that small, it may not be scabies.
Still you can take it to doctor.
Doctor can examine it.
Scabies typically cause burrows.
There can be pustules or secondary infection too.
So you can continue the medicines prescribed by doctor, meanwhile.
If you have any further query, please feel free to ask.
It appears that you are offline.
I am changing to question & answer format.
I hope this information helps.
I will be happy to assist, if you need any clarification.
Please feel free for any follow up query.
The bug is just barely visible. It less than a millimeter.
Also, I do have a raised, hard bump on my belt line that's been there for a month or so that has been receding. It's sore and looks like a blood blister.

You gotta love the headline writers for the New York tabloids. The story is juicy, too: Plaxico Burress didn't show up for the Giants' final meeting of the season on Monday. We all know how Tom Coughlin is about meetings, so this is no way to start the off-season. I really wish I could see every one of the Giants' offensive plays on the coaches' tape because when the TV angles showed Burress against Carolina, he looked like he was dogging it big time. To me, that's a much greater sin than skipping a meeting.

In this week's TMQ, Gregg Easterbrook charts every play of every game to prove his contention that blitzing usually favors the offense. He also has some thoughts on wildcard weekend, being pro-topless but anti-gambling, and creating defensive stats that measure more than total yards and points (Hmmmm). Finally, Easterbrook names his TMQ Non-QB Non-RB NFL MVP.

Eric Mangini, New England's defensive coordinator, is in the running for the New York Jets head coaching job. He's 34 and has only had the title of coordinator for one season, but he's been with Belichick since 1995. One thing potentially more intriguing than the Jets hiring Mangini away from the Patriots is if New York hires some combination of their other coaching candidates: Mike Tice, Jim Haslett, and Joe Vitt.

Michael Wilbon isn't happy with Sean Taylor (or Marcus Vick). He makes the point that Clinton Portis was fined $20,000, "for wearing the wrong socks and a tinted visor," while Taylor only had to give up $17,000 for spitting in another man's face. Maybe that's why Portis wears a visor, although I have no explanation for the socks. (free registration/bugmenot required)

Carson Palmer on the Kimo von Oelhoffen hit that tore up his knee:
"I don't know Kimo personally. From what I've heard, he's a classy guy. Football is football. I don't think it was malicious at all. He's a guy with a high motor that plays hard and was playing hard. It just happened. I don't think in any way he was trying to do anything. It's just part of the game."
You're a classy guy, too, Carson.

This is getting ridiculous. Marcus Vick was charged Monday with pulling a gun on three teenagers during an altercation in a restaurant parking lot. Personally, I never thought Roy Mexico was good enough to play in the NFL in the first place, but when you add in his off-field problems, I can't imagine anyone will draft him.

The entire AP all-pro vote totals are fascinating. Seattle and Indianapolis had four first-team players each. Only one player, Antonio Gates, was a unanimous selection. I'm stunned that five voters didn't think Steve Smith was one of the two best wide receivers in the NFL this year. Willie Roaf is a terriffic player, but do you really deserve 11 all-pro votes when you miss half the season? The two people who voted for Larry Foote are going to be getting some angry e-mails.

The Washington Redskins don't like the way the Washington Post covers them, so they've beefed up their Web site in an effort to give fans news without what they call the Post's "filter." Personally, I enjoy both newspapers and official team sites, although I must say that a lot of the time the information you get is identical in both places. Some newspapers just describe the game and provide quotes from the post-game press conferences, which is pretty much the same thing you get from the team officials.

Our second look at Jarvis Landry's value examines the main reason his catches are lacking in value, and the new charting data that shows how Miami may not be using him properly.

English Honors Program
The Honors Program in English provides the opportunity for qualified majors to undertake advanced literary research in a community of their undergraduate peers.This program is especially recommended for students who plan to pursue a graduate degree in literary studies.
English Honors eligibility requirements :
Honors courses:
The English Honors Program entails taking two related courses (3 credits each), taken in the fall and spring and completing an Honors thesis between 20-40 pages.
1. Honors Seminar (ENG 4932). Honors Seminar is required for honors students but open to those interested in more advanced literary study. This course allows students to synthesize the literary knowledge and critical skills gained in the English major. The seminar is more intensive and interactive than the Department's other courses and will be organized in ways that anticipate graduate-level courses. The topics of the seminar change from year to year. This course will be offered once a year in the fall.
2. Honors Research (ENG 4910). Honors Research facilitates the writing of the honors thesis, which will be the final aim of the course. The course will expose students to the standards and best practices of research-level literary scholarship while also preparing the ground for the students' intended research topics. The course may include library research visits, presentations on different research and analytical methodologies, and peer editing workshops. At the end of spring semester students will present their theses at an Honors Research course event or the Undergraduate Research Symposium. This course will be offered once a year in the spring.
Note : Students will receive the designation "Honors in English" on their transcripts at the time of graduation, upon satisfactory completion of the following requirements:
Students in the Honors Track in English who complete all requirements, but who do not meet the GPA requirements for honors at the time of graduation, will receive credit for all work completed, but will not be certified as having received honors. Students who engage in academic dishonesty will be dismissed from the Honors program and face additional penalties from the university.

The English Honors Program definitely helped prepare me for a future in graduate school. Although the Honors Program seemed like a daunting set of classes when I first applied, I felt guided through the material not only by the professors who taught the courses but also by the other members of the English Department faculty. Each student could choose his or her own area of interest for the honors thesis, and the faculty genuinely cared about helping us construct better papers. Having so many different members of the faculty willing to listen to my ideas, give advice, and mentor me throughout my honors thesis allowed me to have a much more in-depth and thoughtful writing experience. The high level of learning and interaction in these courses not only allowed me to hone my writing style, but also to gain confidence in research, presentations, and analytical discussion. Now that I have studied and utilized more literary theory and methodologies and written the honors thesis, graduate school doesn't feel like a question of will I or won't I be able to succeed. I've already experienced graduate-level courses through the Honors Program, benefitted from the continued practice of literary scholarship, and feel equipped to handle the rigors of graduate school.

It's Not Over: Government Plans for the Worst: Forced Evacuation of Tokyo
(Editor's Note: I feel that disseminating this information is critical. An understanding of the crisis is paramount to dealing with it. The mainstream media provides no value, whatsoever, for the citizens of the world. If it wasn't for alternative media outlets, you could not be made aware of the threat to the world that is being posed by the Fukushima incident. Neither does the mainstream media inform you that the US Coast Guard continues to spray benzene and Corexit on the gulf around the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, at the behest of BP and our government. Oil is still spewing into the gulf, and the chemicals simply keep it from rising to the surface. Out of sight, out of mind. Although TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) says that the situation is under control, the Fujushima situation is on the path to becoming a China Syndrome Event (a total meltdown) which will put every human being on the earth at risk of death by radiation. - JSB)
While it has for the most part disappeared from mainstream view, the Fukushima nuclear disaster is anything but over. In fact, the situation in Japan has gone from bad to worse.
Bottom line: There is no way to contain the radiation.
Even more alarming is that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and other agencies have warned that the nuclear storage pools (the containment units that are being used to cool the nuclear fuel) have been damaged and may collapse under their own weight.
Such an event would cause widespread nuclear fallout throughout the region and force the government to evacuate the nearly 10 million residents of Tokyo and surrounding areas, a scenario which government emergency planners are now taking into serious consideration.
Leading Japanese newspaper The Mainichi Daily News reports:
There was a chance early on that a storage pool collapse could be prevented, but according to the report Tokyo Electric Power Co. refused to take the necessary steps as a cost-cutting measure.
Now, as radiation fallout envelops the entire northern hemisphere, there is a distinct possibility that the crisis will move into an even more critical and dangerous phase.
When news of the disaster first emerged we warned, contrary to mainstream experts, that it could be much worse than the Chernobyl accident of the 1980′s, that no containment would be possible for at least a few years, and radiation levels across North America would sky rocket. A year on, we are seeing adverse impacts on ocean water throughout the Pacific, and ground levels of radioactive contaminants are well beyond safety thresholds for potable water, food, and soil.
With the Japanese economy already on the brink of meltdown and the rest of the world drowning in debt, an escalation in the severity of the disaster in Japan could be the last nail in the coffin for world financial markets and economic growth.
Even worse, if storage pools in the No. 4 reactor collapse and disintegrate as the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has warned could happen, we will see a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented scale as millions of refugees will have no choice but to flee Tokyo. They'll have no possessions, no money, no food, no water, no shelter, and a very fragile safety net.
This is what SHTF looks like. The government lies. The corporate cover ups. Downplaying of the severity of the crisis. And then… panic.

How to Create A Digital Portfolio
When creating your digital portfolio, it is important to keep it focused, visually engaging, and easy to navigate. This way you can impress employers quickly and with impact. Learn more tips for creating an impressive digital portfolio. Not sure how to get started? Read The Fun, One-Hour Activity That Will Help You Land Your Dream Job.
1.) Consider your audience
Determine what kind of digital portfolio you would like to create based upon who will be reading it. Ultimately, your portfolio should answer the question, "Why should I hire you?" for employers. Think about what skills, career aspirations, and goals align with your preferred industry and structure your portfolio accordingly.
Read more about what employers are looking for in a digital portfolio.
2.) Choose a building resource
There are many free resources for creating your digital portfolio. However, be sure to select a resource that provides a format most appropriate for your preferred industry.
- Journalism/Media, English/Writing, and Public Relations
- Arts/Design and creative career interests
- Any Career Interest
Below lists resources that accommodate any career interest, and you may also choose to build your own website using programs such as WordPress, GoogleSites, or Webs.
- Wix
- build your personal website using portfolio and resume & CV template
- includes helpful features like site analytics and traffic generating tools
- Seelio
- designed for "the everyday college student" to accommodate any career interest
- includes a network that connects employers with the students directly
- VisualCV
- create and manage one or multiple online resumes to target specific job interests
- set up as a traditional resume format but you can add videos, links, references, and other information you would like to highlight on the right side of the page
- users may also access company VisualCV pages to learn more about advantages for working for a particular company and opportunities it may be offering
Suggested: Purchase a custom domain name
You want to make it really easy for potential employers to find you and remember your site. The best way to do this is to purchase a domain with your name in it. It's more powerful to have "yourname.com" as the URL instead of your name after a slash or period.
Purchasing a custom domain can only cost you less than $10 per year if you use a site like GoDaddy.com or DomainsMadeSimple.com.
3.) Generate your content
Your digital portfolio will usually consist of the following pages/sections, however, their organization may depend on the building resource format you choose.
- Make it clean and simple
- Include name, school, and major
- Think of this as your pitch to employers- a short paragraph on how your passions, skills, major, and/or experience make you a valuable asset to employers
- It may be helpful to mention (depending on your portfolio's design) how to navigate the page
- For example, "You can find my resume and recent work at the bottom of the page."
About Me
- A more personal and detailed version of your homepage section and can include:
- Photo of you - avoid awkward profile pics
- Where you're from
- School
- Major/Minor

More dramatic World Series home runs have been hit, but this one ranks as one of the most memorable because of its unlikeliness.
The Oakland A's led the Los Angeles Dodgers by one run in game one of the '88 Fall Classic going into the bottom of the ninth inning. With ever-reliable closer Dennis Eckersley and his 45 saves on the mound to close it out, it looked like a done deal for the A's, especially when Eckersley retired the first two batters. But after walking a man to bring the winning run to the plate, the Dodgers pulled an ace out of the hole, sending their hobbled slugger, Kirk Gibson, to the plate.
Gibson's leg was in such bad shape that he had not even participated in pregame introductions on the field. The Dodgers had purposely not sent him to the on-deck circle because they didn't want the A's to know that he was available to hit. Check out Gibson's swing–he didn't even move his legs, he basically "armed it" over the fence.Tags: Baseball, Dennis Eckersley, Kirk Gibson, Los Angeles Dodgers, MLB, Oakland A's, San Diego, San Diego Padres, World Series

Rutgers Student-Alumni Speed Networking Event Helps Veteran Students Bridge Their Gap with Civilian Populations and Prepare for a CareerThe 2012 Alumni-Student Career Speed Networking Night, held Dec. 5 in New Brunswick, was designed to allow students to hold dozens of two-minute interviews with alumni. It was the second step of the ongoing "Bridging the Gap" campaign at Rutgers, designed to build a bridge between veteran students and civilian students and alumni to enable veterans to more smoothly transition from former active service to civilian student life and then sustainable employment.
Veteran Students and Civilian Alumni Bridge Gap at Rutgers-Army Tailgate and GameRecognizing that veterans of the U.S. military face unique challenges when entering college following active service, the Rutgers Alumni Association (RAA) recently launched the Bridging the Gap campaign to connect veteran students and civilian students and alumni at Rutgers University. The campaign was kicked off with a tailgate event at the Rutgers-Army football game Saturday, Nov. 10.
Making the Most of Rutgers HomecomingRUAA Board member Bob Eichert RC'78 writes: "Tabling and organized tailgating at Homecoming allow chartered organizations to connect on several levels with their constituents and the broader Rutgers community. By participating, they are engaging volunteers to create, design, and implement their activity. Taking it a step further, the volunteers are attracting fellow alumni from their organization to participate and or view their activity. Finally, by taking advantage of the tabling/tailgating opportunity, the chartered organization has marketed itself to the general Rutgers population."
Best Practices: Collaborating with Other Alumni GroupsThe RUAA encourages its chartered alumni organizations to partner on events and programs of mutual interest. Recent collaborations include the UCRNBAA and RBSAA "Rutgers at the Races" picnic at Monmouth Park on June 24 and the Rutgers Club of New York City and Cap & Skull Society Alumni happy hour on June 27.

love this seat

Five point harness is very easy to use. It is just a bit difficult to lengthen/shorten the straps. When my son sits in it however (on the front of the stroller - in the toddler position) The bottom tends to sag a bit and looks like he is sliding out. I like that the seat has the two different height settings, and that it can be placed either on the top of the bottom of the pram. the stitching on the fabric is very well done and of high quality.
Great product. Fast shipping

Generic Name: multivitamins with minerals/folic acid/iron/docusate (muhl-tee-VYE-ta-mins/MIN-er-als/FOE-lik AS-id/EYE-urn/DOK-ue-sate)
Brand Name: Examples include Glutofac-MX and Hemax
Accidental overdose of products that contain iron is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children younger than 6 years old. Keep this and all medicines out of the reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion, call a doctor or poison control center right away.
Hemax is used for:
Treating or preventing low levels of vitamins, folic acid, iron, and minerals in the body. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Hemax is a vitamin, folic acid, iron, mineral, and stool softener combination. It works by providing extra vitamins, folic acid, iron, and minerals to the body when you need more than what you get in your diet. The stool softener helps prevent constipation that may occur with iron products.
Do NOT use Hemax if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Hemax
- you have certain iron metabolism problems (eg, hemosiderosis, hemochromatosis) or high levels of iron in your blood
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Hemax:
Some medical conditions may interact with Hemax. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have bowel problems (eg, colitis, Crohn disease, diverticulitis), certain blood disorders (eg, hemolytic or pernicious anemia, porphyria cutanea tarda, thalassemia), or a peptic ulcer
- if you have had multiple blood transfusions
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Hemax. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) or fluorouracil because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Hemax
- Hydantoins (eg, phenytoin), levodopa, mycophenolate, or penicillamine because their effectiveness may be decreased by Hemax
- Many prescription and nonprescription medicines (eg, used for infections, heart problems, high blood pressure, immune system suppression, cancer, low blood platelets, osteoporosis, thyroid problems, bladder problems, Parkinson disease, psoriasis, swelling, and other conditions) may interact with Hemax. This may increase the risk of side effects or decrease the effectiveness of your other medicines. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if any medicines you take may interact with Hemax and how to take them with Hemax
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Hemax may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Hemax:
Use Hemax as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Take Hemax by mouth with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation.
- Take Hemax with a full glass of water (8 oz/240 mL).
- Do not take an antacid within 1 hour before or 2 hours after you take Hemax.
- Avoid taking Hemax with dairy products; they may interfere with the absorption of the iron in Hemax.
- If you miss a dose of Hemax, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Hemax.
Important safety information:
- Do NOT take more than the recommended dose without checking with your doctor.
- Do not take large doses of vitamins (megadoses or megavitamin therapy) while you use Hemax unless your doctor tells you to.
- Hemax may discolor the stools. This is normal and not a cause for concern.
- Hemax has iron in it. Iron overdose is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children younger than 6 years old. In case of an overdose, call a doctor or poison control center right away.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Hemax before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Hemax has pyridoxine (vitamin B6), iron, and folic acid in it. Before you start any new medicine, check the label to see if it has pyridoxine, iron, or folic acid in it too. If it does or if you are not sure, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Hemax while you are pregnant. Hemax is found in breast milk. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you use Hemax, check with your doctor. Discuss any possible risks to your baby.
Possible side effects of Hemax:
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:
Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:
Constipation; dark or discolored stools; diarrhea; nausea; stomach upset; vomiting.
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); black, tarry stools; blood or streaks of blood in the stools; persistent nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; stomach pain or cramping.
This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.
If OVERDOSE is suspected:
Contact 1-800-222-1222 (the American Association of Poison Control Centers), your local poison control center, or emergency room immediately. Symptoms may include black, tarry stools; chest pain; lack of feeling alert; loss of balance; seizures; severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach pain; shortness of breath; sluggishness; trouble breathing; unusual tiredness or weakness; unusually pale skin; weak pulse.Proper storage of Hemax:
Store Hemax at room temperature, between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Hemax out of the reach of children and away from pets.
General information:
- If you have any questions about Hemax, please talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or other health care provider.
- Hemax is to be used only by the patient for whom it is prescribed. Do not share it with other people.
- If your symptoms do not improve or if they become worse, check with your doctor.

text: RT Video/DVD DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 55950735 LA English T1 Mississippi, is this America? 1962-1964 ; Bridge to freedom, 1965 A1 Vecchione, Judith., Bond, Julian,, Bagwell, Orlando., Hampton, Henry,, Fayer, Steve,, Else, Jon., PBS Video., WGBH (Television station : Boston, Mass.), Blackside, Inc., PB PBS Home Video PP Alexandria, VA YR 1995 AB "Mississippi, is this America?" focuses on the personal risks faced by ordinary citizens as they assumed responsibility for social change, particularly during the 1962-64 voting rights campaign in Mississippi. The state became a testing ground of constitutional principles as civil rights activists concentrated their energies on the right to vote. White resistance to the sharing of political power clashed with the strong determination of movement leaders to bring Mississippi blacks to the ballot box. In Freedom Summer 1964, tension between white resistance and movement activists climaxed in the tragic murder of three young civil rights workers. "Bridge to freedom, 1965" showcases the lessons of a decade that are brought to bear in the climactic 1965 Freedom March from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, when thousands joined together to march fifty miles for freedom. During the drive to make voting rights a national issue, strategic and ideological differences began to surface between Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and the younger activists of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). As white "backlash" and segregationist resistance intensified, President Lyndon B. Johnson promised to further the movement's legislative goals. Then, as the movement began to splinter into factions, the National Voting Rights Act became federal law.

On a recent Facebook update, someone who read my post about stepping into your light shared how she's often been told by other women friends that she's too much of something: "You're too artsy." "You're too flirty."
Her comment jumped out at me. You're too ________. How many times has somebody said something like that, something that makes us shrink back and reduce the fullness of who we are or what we want to be? You're too smart. You're too good at math. You post too many blog posts. You talk too much. You care too much. You're too involved. You're too concerned with making money. You're too rich or successful. What have you been told you're too much of?
And what about the opposite of too much, when you're not enough? You're not good enough. You're not tough enough. You're not experienced enough. You're not qualified enough. You're not "mom enough." You're not attractive enough.
I notice how often other people's reactions to me don't seem to have any basis in reality or any real reflection of what I was trying to do or say. When I'm told I'm too much this or not enough that, I try to remind myself this sort of reaction is usually 90% shaded by that person's own life, what has happened to her and what she does and does not value, 7% shaded by what mood she was in when she woke up that day, and if I'm super lucky, 3% shaded by an actual concern for my own well-being. Do you know what I'm talking about? When you try to be completely clear in your writing, or an office conversation, or a feeling you share, and you get an out-of-left-field response?
Once I wrote about the fact that I'm very uncomfortable with babies. If you know me and my experience with postpartum depression, that probably makes sense, and yet one ParentDish commenter responded to the piece by saying I deserved to have my ovaries carved out so that I could never have children. Another time I wrote about how worried I was about allowing my son to skip a grade, and later saw several people in a Facebook conversation about the piece say that I was obviously too concerned with my kid's grades and success and that he'd probably be a miserable adult.
I have to continually remind myself these people are deep inside their own heads, fighting their own battles, defending their own insecurities and not responding to me. I'm imagining you've experienced the same, whether it's in social media, at work, at the bus stop or through the neighborhood grapevine.
Sometimes what people say has to be pushed aside for sanity's sake. You can't let it soak into even the uppermost layer of your skin. Other times their responses may be an indicator that something needs to change, or that perhaps you're not in the best place, doing the best things for you.
Once I was doing a presentation at my corporate job and the chief marketing officer of the company I worked for at the time (many eons ago) came into the room and watched me speak. Later I received feedback that he had said my performance was too flaky. Too flaky?! I had busted my butt on that project and I knew what I was talking about backwards and forwards. I had the content down. I never got clarification, but I (and other colleagues) always had the impression that he meant I presented too much like a girl. I was discussing creating emotional connections with consumers, and there was a lot of emotion in what I was speaking about and how I was speaking. Result? I was too flaky.
When I think back on that, though it upset me at the time, I realize that his reaction was more an indication that who I am and what I wanted to be and focus on wasn't the best match for where I was at that moment. It didn't mean that I, as a whole, am a "flake" and unworthy of being taken seriously or that I was a failure. It meant I was doing the exact right thing for me, my personality and my set of skills, but in a place that wasn't going to embrace it as much as I needed them to. Now I'm in a place where I get to be me, all "flake," all the time.
When you get a completely unexpected reaction, you have to ask yourself: Is this person saying I'm too much or not enough of something because they're helping me to improve, or because they want to fundamentally change who I am because they are uncomfortable with it?
I can feel it in my gut when people have my interests in mind and when they have their own. When they really care about my success and are offering constructive feedback, it may be hard to hear that I need to change a few things but I know I've got to listen. I could be stubborn and decide that no one gets to have any say, or I can recognize making subtle adjustments or slightly correcting course is not changing the core of who I am but making me more accessible to others. There is no one anywhere that can't use a little tweaking. I don't have a problem being edited.
On the other hand, when someone declares that I'm fundamentally too much of this or not enough of that, I'm learning to fight the urge to tamp myself down or push forward into places I don't really want to go just to please and be embraced and accepted. I'm not too much. I'm not not enough. I'm somewhere in the interesting middle.

text: Hello, my wife just got "no result" on her driving exam, because the airbag indicator warning light came on the dash during the test. So after being relieved of the £62 test fee, I am kicking myself for knowing about this issue and not doing anything about it! Anyway, I am posting on the off chance someone experienced a similar issue to this and found a solution. The car is an A3 8L 2003 model. The main airbag warning light comes on on the tacho, usually when the car is started from cold. Once the car has been driven for a while and is switched off, upon switching it back on, the airbag warning light usually stays off, but not always. I've scanned the airbag controller using VCDS, which reveals the following fault: VCDS-Lite Version: Release 1.1 Friday, 17 August 2012, 15:38:42:37423 Control Module Part Number: 8L0 959 655 L Component and/or Version: Airbag Front+Seite 7008 Software Coding: 01104 Work Shop Code: WSC 06435 VCID: 47E14A3076A3 1 Fault Found: 01578 - Airbag Deactivation Warning Lamp; Passenger Side (K145) 31-10 - Open or Short to Ground - Intermittent If I clear the fault, and restart the car, the faul immediately reappears. So, this is what I've done so far to try and sort this out: chopped off the yellow connector under the passenger seat and re-wired directly (solder) as per this post removed the passenger side warning light from the ceiling cabin light assembly, re-soldered joints and tested for loose connections By the way, the passenger airbag warning light looks like this (I can not find this replacement part 6350 1183C anywhere): I am pretty sure there is a bad connection somewhere between the airbag controller module and the lamp or the lamp module, but I am reluctant to pull anymore of the car apart in trying to sort this (minor) inconvenience out. Am I better off just sticking some electrical tape over the light and hope next time the DSA instructor doesn't query it? Cheers, -- ab1 P.S. FYI: there is another post on the forum regarding this exact issue, but no solution.
