How is pulmonary embolism diagnosed?
There always needs to be a high a level of suspicion that a pulmonary embolus may be the cause of chest pain or shortness of breath. The healthcare professional will take a history of the chest pain, including its characteristics, its onset, and any associated symptoms that may direct the diagnosis to pulmonary embolism. It may include asking questions about risk factors for deep vein thrombosis.
Physical examination will concentrate initially on the heart and lungs, since chest pain and shortness of breath may also be the major complaints for heart attack, pneumonia, pneumothorax (collapsed lung), dissection of an aortic aneurysm, among other conditions.
With pulmonary embolism, the chest examination is often normal, but if there is some associated inflammation on the surface of the lung (the pleura), a rub may be heard (pleura inflammation may cause friction which can be heard with a stethoscope). The surfaces of the lung and the inside of the chest wall are covered by a membrane (the pleura) that is full of nerve endings. When the pleura becomes inflamed, as can occur in pulmonary embolus, a sharp pain can result that is worsened by breathing, so-called pleurisy or pleuritic chest pain.
The physical examination may include examining an extremity, looking for signs of a DVT, including warmth, redness, tenderness, and swelling.
It is important to note, however, that the signs associated with deep vein thrombosis may be completely absent even in the presence of a clot. Again, risk factors for clotting must be taken into consideration when making an assessment.
PERC Rule for Pulmonary Embolus
Being able to assess a patient and determine the risk for pulmonary embolus is very useful, since many patients have chest pain and shortness of breath when seen in an emergency department, urgent care facility, or their health care professional's office or clinic.
The PERC rule suggests that in low risk patients, if the answer is no to the following questions, that the risk of pulmonary embolus is very low (less than 2%) and no further evaluation for pulmonary embolism is necessary or required:
- Age greater than 50
- Heart rate greater than 100
- Oxygen saturation on room air less than 95%
- Previous history of venous thromboembolism
- Trauma or surgery within the last 4 weeks
- Hemoptysis (coughing up blood)
- Exogenous estrogen prescription
- Unilateral leg swelling (only one leg involved)
If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then the diagnosis of pulmonary embolus still needs to be considered.

By David Almond and Dave McKean
Walker Books
Complete timely coincidence here. A week ago Molly and I pick out The Savage from our local library. This week a copy of David Almond and Dave McKean's latest; Slog's Dad drops through the letterbox. Figured we'd start with The Savage and see where we get.
Well, Molly was transfixed. I read it first and loved it, then read it to her later that night, then she read it herself. And again, and again. The library copy goes back today, the copy I've just ordered should be with us soon. It's a keeper. No question.
The Savage is the story of Blue Baker, just a normal everyday kid who's lost his dad. He's doing his best to cope, being strong for his mum and younger sister, coping with town bully Hopper picking on him even more now his dad's dead and listening to the school counsellor telling him to write down his thoughts, "explore my grief", "start moving forward". And he does write, at least for a while but it all seems too huge, so instead he starts writing his own story of The Savage, full of his the things he wanted ("blood and guts and adventures"), badly spelt but so heartfelt, filled with local places, local people, with himself, with his family and with Hopper. It starts….
"There was a wild kid living in Burgess Woods,"
(The first glimpse of The Savage of the title, whose weapons were "old kitchen knives and forks and an axe that he nicked from Franky Finnigin's alotment". From The Savage by David Almond and Dave McKean, published by Walker Books)
As it goes on, Blue's story, obviously pure wish fulfillment and his way of striking back at a cruel world that's done so much wrong to him, becomes more personal, and his connection with The Savage becomes closer as he writes more of himself and his situation into his story.
Blue finds himself discovering more of the world of this wild boy, living in the woods on a diet of "berries and roots and rabbits" and the occasional passer-by. But then something shifts as The Savage pays a night-time visit to the bully Hoppper and there's magic happening. Not real magic, but fiction magic, book magic, when the lines between the two worlds of Blue and The Savage start to blur and the two entwined tales shift and merge as the boundaries between fiction and reality break down.
It's part prose, part graphic novel, described on the back cover as "an extraordinary graphic novel within a novel". In truth it's too short to be either of those things but the comics within the prose does work magnificently with Almond breaking his story into two – the prose deals with Blue's life whilst the graphic novel section is Blue's story of The Savage.
(McKean's visuals are perfect at capturing the savagery of the title, as The Savage seeks out Blue's tormentor Hopper. From The Savage by David Almond and Dave McKean, published by Walker Books)
McKean was given complete freedom to adapt and interpret Almond's short story how he saw fit and the resulting comic pages are really beautiful. McKean chooses to do this in his old style, brushes rather than computers and lines rather than 3D modelling, rather reminiscent of Cages at times – with his big, bold black strokes McKean delivers something savage, yet thoughtful, as his lines do everything they need to convey the brutal and tragic world of Almond's prose.
His decision to use his own scratchy font for the story of The Savage and limiting the art to a very simple colour palette of greens and blues throughout is similarly masterful – greens for the Savage and blues for the "real" world of blue and his family. But just like the story, there are times when the two meld and coallesce into something more than real.
The Savage is definitely a book that treats it's intended readers with immense respect – no half-hearted explanations, no punches pulled, this is intense, difficult stuff for older children to read, to absorb and to enjoy.
There's no simple reading of The Savage, no black and white, right and wrong, this is fiction that asks children to make their own minds up, trusts them to think and understand and question. I know what I think happened and Molly knows what she thinks happened. You, and your children will have to make your own minds up. But whatever way you go, the ending and the twists to the story that get you there are wonderful.
It's a book that remains with you long after you finish it, and a book that never falters – something strange, disturbing, brutal and honest. But brilliant and magical as well, a beautiful example of prose and comic arts coming together to make the resultant hybrid form far greater than it's individual parts.

John Cage was fascinated about the relationship between music and its audience, a relationship he explored in his music as well as his public lectures. The act of creating sound, in Cage's view, is never independent of the way it connects with the listener. In some sense, Masses also dwells on this relationshipbut there's an extra twist. We (the ultimate listeners) get to be voyeurs to the process. The improv players on Masses, truly a remarkable cast, get their chance to listen and respond to evolving compositions by Spring Heel Jack. And then, with Masses in the CD player, we can sit back to hear what happens.
Even with headphone-level attention, the most exciting parts of Masses come from discoveries in the moment: sparks of energy tossed aside as the improvisers charge forward. Spring Heel Jack's role in the whole thing is mostly to elaborate moods or provide a sort of fixed dynamic counterpoint, but the other musicians really bring the concept to life. The pure energy of "Salt," for example, roots itself in the square-wave bluntness of SHJ's sampled chunks of sound; but it flowers in the startling revelations of Evan Parker's soprano saxophone. William Parker handles the bass on four of these tunes, and he's capable of great mischief, just as he's eager to keep the ends tied down. Tim Berne's solo performance on "Medusa's Head" ends up sounding half-man, half-machine as he coaxes surreal noises from the baritone saxophone to go with the dynamic shifts from the composer duo.
Unlike many experiments combining electronics with improvisation, Masses does not feature any live processing or sampling of the jazz performers. The live instruments are all "clean." It's a stark contrastand, because Spring Heel Jack generally does not compose overstatements, it works.
Track Listing: Chorale; Chiaroscuro; Interlude 1; Masses; Cross; Salt; Medusa's Head; Red Worm; Interlude 2; Coda.

Brown: drums; Roy Campbell: trumpet; Daniel Carter: flute, alto and tenor saxophones; Ed Coxon: violins; Mat Maneri: acoustic and electric viola; Evan Parker: soprano saxophone; William Parker: bass; Matthew Shipp: piano; George Trebar: acoustic and electric bass; John Coxon & Ashley Wales: all other instruments.

He was like a shiny gold casket
That, when opened,
Shows coins of the same color
As well as pearls, diamonds,
And colorful gemstones.
A loving person to the end,
His organs saved lives
After an aneurysm left him brain-dead.

Stanford Stunner: Cardinal Roasts Undefeated Oregon Ducks 17-14 in OTNovember 18, 2012
It was an amazing, drizzly night at Autzen Stadium where the Oregon Ducks rarely lose. In fact, this year they were undefeated and averaged 54 points a game, tops in the nation.
The Ducks were No. 1 in most polls and favored by 21 points over No. 14 Stanford. They were just three wins away from earning a spot in the national championship game in January. The stakes couldn't have been higher and the outcome seemed predictable.
Stanford had given Oregon a run for their money in the last two years, at least for two quarters. The halftime score last year was 22-16 Oregon, but Oregon had a big second half and won 55-30. The year before Stanford actually led at the half 31-24, but ended up losing 52-31.
Yes, most people thought they knew what to expect when the 2012 Stanford Cardinal team took the field in Eugene this week. Even if Stanford hung in there for a half, Oregon would have their way by the final gun.
Imagine the shock when the outcome was different. Coach David Shaw proved to the nation that he has a strong and gritty team. His key word all week in practice had been "resolve." He was determined to prove that this year's team could play four quarters, not just two.
His team used the knowledge gleaned from facing the no-huddle offense of Arizona earlier this year (Stanford won 54-48 in OT). He practiced this week with two scout teams on offense against the defense. As soon as a play ended with one scout team, the other would rush on the field for the next play and the defense had to keep up.
The preparation worked, and Stanford held Oregon to 42 points below their average. Stanford's 17-14 victory in overtime proved that Stanford was ready, could play a full four quarters and then some. The game brought jubilation to Cardinal fans and left many Ducks fans crying in the stands when it was over. They couldn't believe it.
The result is all the more surprising given Stanford's turnovers, which included two fumbles and one interception. Stanford's defense, which has been superb all year, was truly outstanding once again. The offense did its part, but the defense won the game.
Fourth-Down Conversions
The first half was significant for two failed fourth-down conversions, the first of which came late in the first quarter. Oregon took about a minute-and-a-half to drive 85 yards from their own 8-yard line to Stanford's 7-yard line. Most of that came on a 77-yard run by Oregon's excellent freshman quarterback Marcus Mariota. He should have scored a touchdown, but was knocked out of bounds at the last second by Devon Carrington.
Soon after the Ducks found themselves facing a fourth-and-two at Stanford's seven. Coach Chip Kelly decided to go for it. Mariota faked a handoff and ran up the middle but LB Shane Skov stayed home and was there to grab Mariota and end the drive. Stanford took over on downs.
That became significant because redshirt freshman QB Kevin Hogan then led Stanford on a 15-play, 93-yard drive that ended with Hogan rolling out to his right on a pass play. Finding no one open, he then tucked the ball, made a nifty move to his left and darted into the end zone for a 7-0 Stanford lead very early in the second quarter. Hogan went 5-for-6 on that drive and looked very good.
Later in the second quarter Stanford drove to the Oregon 41 and faced a 4th-and-1 play. Conservative David Shaw surprisingly decided to go for it. Everyone expected a run play, but Hogan faked a handoff up the middle and then sent a wobbly pass to a wide open FB Ryan Hewitt. However, the pass was behind him and Hewitt was not able to pull it in. It could have been great, but ended up giving the ball back to the Ducks.
Oregon didn't waste time. Three plays and just 47 seconds later Mariota threw a 28-yard pass to a slanting Keanon Lowe for a TD that tied the game at 7-7.
While Oregon did demonstrate their lightning-quick ability to score on that drive, they went into the locker room with only seven points and a tie. This was remarkable for a team that had been so dominant on offense all season.
Hogan's Fourth-Quarter Comeback
The Stanford offense did not look good for much of the second half. Thankfully Stanford's defense continued to shine and kept Oregon off the scoreboard most of it. The lone exception was a 95-yard, 15-play drive late in the third quarter that gave the Ducks a 14-7 lead.
Last week Hogan led a Cardinal fourth-quarter comeback to defeat Oregon State. In that game, Hogan had a good first quarter, but was quiet in the second and third quarters before rallying his team to pull out the Cardinal a victory. Could he do it again?
Stanford's second possession of the fourth quarter began with a little over six minutes left. Starting at their own 22-yard line, this had the appearance of Stanford's last chance. Based on the lackluster performance all second half, their chances didn't look good. Hogan, however, showed everyone he was up to the task. He drove the team down the field with a great mix of passes and runs. The final two plays of the drive were impressive.
Facing a 4th-and-1 at the Oregon 12, Hogan handed the ball off to FB Ryan Hewitt who burst through the line for two yards. Had he not made that first down, Stanford may well have lost the game. In a highlight-reel pass that will be viewed by many for a long time to come, Hogan lofted the ball to the back of the end zone where all-american TE Zach Ertz was waiting.
Ertz was well covered, but held onto the ball as he fell backwards onto the defender and then rolled on his shoulders out of bounds. The officials initially called it incomplete thinking that Ertz was out of bounds, but the replay officials reversed the call to a touchdown. Stanford had tied the score with a little over a minute left in the game.
Ertz, by the way, had a spectacular game including 11 catches for 106 yards. He was the go-to guy for Hogan, and padded his credentials as the best tight end in America. He was good.
After the Ertz TD, the defense thwarted Oregon's last attempt to get into scoring position before the end of regulation, sending the game to overtime.
OT Redemption For Williamson
Sophomore kicker Jordan Williamson has been much maligned since his famous miss of a short, game-winning field goal at the end of last year's Fiesta Bowl. Since then he has been spotty, hitting on just 12-of-20 attempts this year. In the fourth quarter of this game he missed a 43-yard attempt. He has plenty of leg, so that is not the issue. He has simply missed several field goals he should have made. His chance for redemption was at hand.
Stanford won the toss in overtime and naturally chose to start on defense. The defensive unit did its thing again. After three non-productive plays, the Oregon field goal kicker missed a 41-yard attempt. Note that he had only attempted one field goal prior to this game the entire season. The Oregon offense had been so effective his skills had not been needed. His skills were needed here, and he failed.
That opened the door for Williamson. In Stanford's overtime possession, it ran twice and fumbled once. The ball bounced out of an Oregon defender's hands, and was recovered by Stanford. That set the stage for Williamson to attempt a 37-yarder. To the delight of all Cardinal fans, the kick was true, barely. It went just inside the left goal post. That was good enough to make Williamson a hero, to completely mess up the bowl and national championship picture and provide Stanford with a classic upset win for the ages. This one will be remembered for a very long time.
Multiple Heroes on Defense
The description above mentions the names of several offensive players. Make no mistake about it, though, this game was won by the defense. Their performance was fantastic by just about any measure. There were multiple heroes, of course. Some are mentioned below.
- LB Shane Skov had one of his best games of the year, including 11 tackles.
- LB A.J. Tarpley was all over the field and caught the interception that represented Oregon's only turnover of the game.
- S Ed Reynolds has been a star for several consecutive weeks now.
- CB Alex Carter is a freshman but has come into his own as a star in recent weeks.
- DE Henry Anderson continues to demonstrate speed and aggressiveness that is surprising for a guy who is 6'6" and 278 pounds.
There are more—the defensive front seven was excellent. Excluding Mariota's 77-yard run, Stanford gave up just 121 yards rushing. Oregon is third in the nation in rushing, averaging 325 yards per game. Stanford held them well under that. Oregon has two big running stars in Kenjon Barner and DeAnthony Thomas. Barner ended up with only 76 yards on 21 carries while the speedy De'Anthony Thomas had just 46 yards on 7 carries.
Stepfan Taylor Watch
RB Stepfan Taylor's Stanford career is rapidly coming to a close, but he continues to chase multiple records. He was strong again in this game. Even though he was targeted by Oregon's defense throughout, he still ran for 161 yards on 33 carries (a 4.9 yard average). That put him over 4,000 yards for his career, and brought him within just 41 yards of becoming Stanford's all-time leading rusher.
He always seems to get stronger as the game goes on, churning his legs play after play for extra yards. It's a delight to watch.
Women's Hoops
While unrelated to football, it was a remarkable weekend for Stanford for another reason. Less than 24 hours prior to Stanford's football victory, the women's basketball team recorded a huge upset over No. 1 Baylor. This was the same team that beat the Cardinal in the Final Four last year. In fact, all five starters from last year returned for Baylor, while Stanford lost its All-American mega-star Nnemkadi Ogwumike. This was a surprise victory, and ended Baylor's 42-game winning streak.
UCLA Once Or Twice
Stanford's last regular season game next Saturday, Nov. 24 is against UCLA at the Rose Bowl. UCLA is basking in the afterglow of its big victory this week over USC. That gave the Bruins the Pac-12 South championship. UCLA will play in the Pac-12 Championship game on Friday, Nov. 30.
If they beat Stanford next week, their opponent will likely be Oregon. UCLA has two conference losses (to Oregon State and Cal) and did not have to play Oregon during the regular season.
If Stanford beats UCLA, however, Stanford will then become the Pac-12 North champions. That means UCLA would have the privilege of playing Stanford twice in six days. The second game would be played at Stanford Stadium, not at the Rose Bowl.
The bowl game announcements will come on Dec. 2. The last few weeks of this 2012 college football season promise to be exciting and rewarding. Stanford should get a very good bowl game and many Stanford players should get significant national recognition.

Lately I've been riding a 5'9" Chemistry Tron, but I'm looking to get a more traditional shape shortboard for bigger and steeper days. Around what size range would be a good fit for me?
I'm 5'10", around 165 lbs. I'd probably classify myself somewhere between a novice and intermediate surfer: off and on for several years, good paddle strength, can bottom turn, ride down the line, and catch waves consistently; starting to try cutbacks when I can with some success. My recent relocation near the shore has gotten me back into surfing 3-4 times a week year-round if waves permit, so I'm making a strong effort to get better every day I go and want a board that I can grow with for a while.

If you like your tron chemistry also makes a handful of really nice shortboards. I have an alchemist remix and it's a great board, has the float of a fish and the maneuverability of a shortboard. It would probably be a great board for you to transition into shortboarding with and you'll still be able to catch waves easily with it and have fun on the smaller days.

Real Madrid mourn passing of club legend Di Stefano
Alfredo Di Stefano, the player Real Madrid has hailed as being the most important component in its mid-20th century ascent to becoming a global powerhouse, has died. He was 88.
The club said in a statement that Di Stefano, its honorary president, died yesterday afternoon at Gregorio Maranon hospital, two days after a heart attack.
Di Stefano turned 88 on Friday. The following day, he had a heart attack on a Madrid street near the club's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Paramedics were able to resuscitate him after 18 minutes, but he spent the following days in a coma.
Renowned for his speed, versatility and strategic grasp of the game, he helped Madrid attain five straight European Champions Cups and was voted European player of the year in 1957 and '59. In a career spanning five clubs in three countries – Argentina, Colombia and Spain – from 1945-1966, Di Stefano scored 789 goals in 1,090 matches.
Those who knew him recall a straight-talking character who believed success on the field came through physical effort and dedication.
"I don't want to be idolised, I just want to play. And to do that you have to run and sweat," he said.
"I think he was one of the greatest, if not the greatest, football player ever," England great Bobby Charlton said.
Born July 4, 1926, in the Barracas suburb of Buenos Aires, Di Stefano learned the game while playing free-for-all soccer in what he called "the academy of the streets".

The Boskin Commission Report: Introduction to the Symposium and Implications for Productivity
Brief introduction to the symposium highlighting the importance of price measurement for reliable productivity estimates. Accurate price indexes are essential for reliable productivity measurement. the author points out that a one percentage point upward bias in price changes results in a one percentage point downward bias in real output growth and by consequent productivity growth. An upward bias in price indexes implies that productivity growth is being underestimated.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Jazz played Golden State on Monday night without backup big man Francisco Elson, who is dealing with work visa issues.
According to the Jazz, the Netherlands native "has traveled to Canada to renew his visa ... and is required to remain in (that) country for 48 hours as a part of the process."
Elson's old visa apparently expired when he became an unrestricted free agent last offseason. He could not start efforts to acquire another one until he got a job last September, when the Jazz signed him.
He's been working on a temporary visa ever since, and had no control over scheduling — including the need to miss a game — for an appointment to acquire a new one.
A one-paragraph Jazz statement on the matter deemed the process to be "standard procedure" and said "Elson is expected to rejoin the team for Friday's game at New Orleans."
The Jazz do not play again until Friday, when they open a four-game trip.
Elson is averaging 2.3 rebounds, 2.7 points and 11.0 minutes off the bench. He played double-digit minutes in 10 of Utah's last 14 games prior to Monday.
"He's been playing pretty well for us," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said, "and giving us help guarding some of the big guys."
Sloan voiced no complaints over Elson's absence Monday.
"That's not my deal," he said. "I coach whoever's here."
BELL STILL OUT: Starting shooting guard Raja Bell didn't play Monday, marking the third straight game he's missed due to a strained right adductor muscle.
With Bell unable to go, rookie Gordon Hayward made his third consecutive start.
Hayward was scoreless while opening in Bell's place Friday against Orlando and Saturday at Dallas.
But Sloan stuck with him anyway Monday, saying that starting again would allow the first-round draft pick from Butler University "a chance to see where he is, and how he's gonna react, and try to improve."
Hayward had one point, on a free throw, while logging 11 minutes against the Warriors.1 comment on this story
Sloan suggested it's important to remember Hayward and second-round pick Jeremy Evans, who scored nine points off the bench Monday, still are rookies.
"That's why they need some experience," he said, "to get a chance to kind of understand. But they're trying to do the right things."
FESENKO BACK: Reserve center Kyrylo Fesenko was back in the lineup Monday. Fesenko missed Utah's three previous games due to a sprained left ankle. He played 14 minutes Monday, scoring two points and pulling down four rebounds.

Great bondage kit
Reviewed: 16 July 2013 by linda2008, a Bisexual Married Female
Was sent this as a tester so thank you Lovehoney.
Now being a great lover of being tied up this hogtie kit is a welcome collection to our expending collection of bondage equipment.
What I do love about this is how many different positions I can be tied up in due to the fact of the x-shaped connector letting you be put in any position you want do.
Love the fact it buckles to fasten you and let your partner be in complete control of you... with the added thrill of the blindfold leaving you to wonder what your partner is doing to you.
- Pros
- Great kit and a great addition if you love bondage.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Up to now fantastic, can't wait to try more positions.

Not heavy duty but good starting kit
Reviewed: 12 April 2013 by BullsPrincess, a Straight Married Female
The packaging is really sexy and shows a few ways to use this toy which is important for people not flexible enough for a hogtie.
First impressions defy the heavy duty name. This is a lightweight toy with only moderately padded cuffs with what looks like nylon webbing to secure the cuffs and attach to the X.
The padding is well put together, but the way the webbing is attached around the cuff it does extend over the edges and is rough and scratchy. In many places the webbing does have unfinished edges that can and do scratch. This really needs to be looked at, and if resolved would be fine.
When it comes to securing the cuff it is fairly secure with buckles (not just Velcro). However the holes are spaced quite far apart and are not reinforced in any way. First time playing with these, the holes "stretched" and looked like small tears in the webbing. This was just with gentle play.
So with these small quality issues it is important to say that this type of play does need some strength and reliability. The pleasure of being restrained (particularly with the incredibly strong leg muscles) can be wonderful. However we cannot say how long this toy would last.
If you are a beginner in this play this is good value for the money as a starting toy, but when you really enjoy it you will need to upgrade in our opinion.
- Pros
- Given the price this is a good economy starting toy.
- Cons
- There are quality issues for comfort and longevity.
- Bottom line
- Not heavy duty, use as a starter toy only.

Hemorrhoids (HEM-uh-roids), also called piles, are swollen veins in your anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids have a number of causes, although often the cause is unknown. They may result from straining during bowel movements or from the increased pressure on these veins during pregnancy. Hemorrhoids may be located inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids), or they may develop under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).
Hemorrhoids are very common. Nearly three out of four adults will have hemorrhoids from time to time. Sometimes they don't cause symptoms but at other times they cause itching, discomfort and bleeding.
Occasionally, a clot may form in a hemorrhoid (thrombosed hemorrhoid). These are not dangerous but can be extremely painful and sometimes need to be lanced and drained.
Fortunately, many effective options are available to treat hemorrhoids. Many people can get relief from symptoms with home treatments and lifestyle changes.
Signs and symptoms of hemorrhoids may include:
Hemorrhoid symptoms usually depend on the location.
Internal hemorrhoids. These lie inside the rectum. You usually can't see or feel these hemorrhoids, and they rarely cause discomfort. But straining or irritation when passing stool can damage a hemorrhoid's surface and cause it to bleed.
Occasionally, straining can push an internal hemorrhoid through the anal opening. This is known as a protruding or prolapsed hemorrhoid and can cause pain and irritation.
External hemorrhoids. These are under the skin around your anus. When irritated, external hemorrhoids can itch or bleed.
Thrombosed hemorrhoids. Sometimes blood may pool in an external hemorrhoid and form a clot (thrombus) that can result in severe pain, swelling, inflammation and a hard lump near your anus.
Bleeding during bowel movements is the most common sign of hemorrhoids. Your doctor can do a physical examination and perform other tests to confirm hemorrhoids and rule out more-serious conditions or diseases.
Also talk to your doctor if you know you have hemorrhoids and they cause pain, bleed frequently or excessively, or don't improve with home remedies.
Don't assume rectal bleeding is due to hemorrhoids, especially if you are over 40 years old. Rectal bleeding can occur with other diseases, including colorectal cancer and anal cancer. If you have bleeding along with a marked change in bowel habits or if your stools change in color or consistency, consult your doctor. These types of stools can signal more extensive bleeding elsewhere in your digestive tract.
Seek emergency care if you experience large amounts of rectal bleeding, lightheadedness, dizziness or faintness.
The veins around your anus tend to stretch under pressure and may bulge or swell. Swollen veins (hemorrhoids) can develop from increased pressure in the lower rectum due to:
Hemorrhoids are more likely with aging because the tissues that support the veins in your rectum and anus can weaken and stretch.
Complications of hemorrhoids are very rare but include:
The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep your stools soft, so they pass easily. To prevent hemorrhoids and reduce symptoms of hemorrhoids, follow these tips:
Consider fiber supplements. Most people don't get enough of the recommended amount of fiber — 25 grams a day for women and 38 grams a day for men — in their diet. Studies have shown that over-the-counter fiber supplements, such as Metamucil and Citrucel, improve overall symptoms and bleeding from hemorrhoids. These products help keep stools soft and regular.
If you use fiber supplements, be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water or other fluids every day. Otherwise, the supplements can cause constipation or make constipation worse.

A NEW house has been given planning permission in North Oxford despite dozens of objections from neighbours.
Residents opposed a plan to knock down a house in Blenheim Drive, off Woodstock Road, and replace it with two semi-detached homes.
At a meeting of the city council's west area planning committee on Wednesday, Nigel Bray, who lives in the road, disagreed with a report by officers claiming the new house would be "comparable" with those nearby.
He said: "The proposal makes no sense in design terms and will do ever-lasting harm to Blenheim Drive."
The deputy chairman of the committee, Wolvercote councillor John Goddard, agreed with Mr Bray and urged his colleagues to throw out the application.
He said: "To my mind this is unacceptable. It is not respectful of the street scene.
"This is a matter of opinion of course, but I think anyone who knows Blenheim Drive very well will know there is no other building in the existing street that looks remotely like what is being proposed."
But only committee chairman Oscar Van Nooijen and Green Party councillor Elise Benjamin joined him in voting against the proposed development.
The existing house is divided into two flats but as part of the plans this building will be demolished and replaced by one building containing two five-bedroom family homes with car parking and a cycle store.
At the meeting, Nik Lyzba, the applicant's agent, said: "This is not an unusual proposal in this part of North Oxford."

It was a beautiful day on the Ben Franklin Parkway for the third annual Philadelphia Science Festival's Carnival, an inspirational celebration of science and engineering.
Once again, Wistar volunteers operated one of the most popular booths at the event, where more than 200 kids had a chance to peer through the microscope to see their own cells (taken with a cotton swab from the inside of their cheeks).
Wistar scientists on hand helped kids navigate the features of these epithelial cells, pointing out the cell nucleus, organelles, and other cellular landmarks. For many, it was a great introduction to both Wistar and cell biology. Plus, we handed out plenty of Wistar tattoos and sunscreen.
But the Philadelphia Science Festival is not over yet.

Mr.Rittel first I want to thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us here on the forum.I truley appreciate it.I bought my first fleshing machine recently and a EZ-100 kit.I have been doing my heads with DP and I am in the process of giving up that bad habit.It seems from what I have read on the forum that one of the most important steps in achieving a good tan is getting the skin thin enough.Is there a certian thickness to shoot for? How will I know when Im there? I was also wondering if there was anything I could put on the skin to make fleshing easier? I know that DP will raise the PH.Also how important is it to remove the ear cartilige before tanning?
Thanks Tim

you just go until you can see blue.
Brandon is right - you shave until you see a hint of blue in the skin, and stop! As far as putting something on the skin to get a better "grab" - try rubbing sawdust over it. Sawdust is inert and wont affect anything, but it is used to serve as an indicator. Some guys also use it while shaving to indicate the areas already shaved, but I've never had a problem with that, so I dont. As far as removing the ear cartlidge - thats a matter of how you mount. Some guys bondo "with" the cartlidge, some dont. Some use earliners and always remove it. Its a matter of preference, but the best time to remove it is when I'm splitting the lips, eyes, nose, and turning the ears. I find it doesnt pull hair through as much as later when its pickled, or tanned and rehydrated.

" Brand: Bruin / Safety Type: Bed Rails "
We purchased my daughter a bed guard when she was old enough to go in her own bed. We didn't want her falling out of bed in the night with an almighty thump! I looked at a few different makes of bed guard and settled on the Bruin bed guard. My daughter's one is the pink version, however and not the blue one which is pictured.
The bed guard folds out into what I would call a sort of L shape. The L shape consists of a bar which slides underneath the matress. This leaves the mesh side to be the bed guard and stop said child falling out of bed.
My daughter first went into her big bed at age 3 - she previously had a Dora the Explorer toddler bed which had sides to prevent her falling out. We don't know if she would have ever fall out of bed but the likelihood is that she probably would have. Even now we find her tucked up close to the bed guard!
The bed guard does its job. It is sturdy and holds in place well. My daughter has kicked at it a good few times in her sleep but it has never even moved an inch. It folds away easily when you need to store it away. It folds completely flat so can easily slide down the side of a wardrobe for storage. The only thing that does annoy me about this bedguard is that when I take it off of the bed, it does fall apart. The bit that slides under the matress sometimes comes away from its connectors which is annoying. This has never happened whilst it has been is use though.
The bruin bed guard is .. well as it says lol a bed guard. Mainly for toddlers who are getting used to sleeping in a bed rather than a cot.
The bed guard itself is blue and padded around the edges with a mesh type material in the middle. It is attached to two metal bars with hooked ends that can be folded against the guard so it is flat for storage. These two metal poles slide under the mattress and keep the guard in place.
I was given mine by a friend. She said the poles twist round somehow but me and 5 friends had a go and none of us can do it so some instructions may be needed (unless we are just really dim) anyway, due to this the poles are the wrong way round and instead of hooking between the bed-slats they point upwards. luckily the mattress is thick and my toddler is light so it doesn't matter too much.
As a product in general it does its job, however I would think it would be better if it was both wider and taller as once its under the mattress obviously the child is higher so the guard isn't actually that much higher. Plus my son likes to squeeze himself into the corners of the bed so technically he could fall out that way . BUT so far (touch wood) we haven't had any problems keeping him in there.
As the name suggests, this is a bed guard. Designed to help stop your young child from falling out of bed by providing a removable physical barrier.
The guard folds out into an L shape, with the bottom of the L going under the mattress and the vertical side being the barrier.
I used this with my eldest when he first went into a big bed at the age of 2. We definitely needed it as he did fall out of bed several times before we started using it.
This bed guard is easy to use and folds flat again for storage (fits nicely under the bed for example).
We used this for a few months, not only is it a good physical barrier to stop your child falling out of bed, it also works well as a visual barrier to put them off getting out of bed. Which they invairably try to do when first given the freedom!
The only problem I had with this bed guard was that when using it it with a cot bed, which has a thinner mattress than normal beds, it was possibble to feel the bar on the bed guard through the mattress, though I have to say that as my son is so light he did not notice, but an older child may well do. It is probably only designed to be used with a proper bed.
We never had any other problems though and the guard stayed secure all night and seemed very saef, would definitely recommend.
We made the decision to keep our first child in the cot for as long as we could get away with, but there came a day when he decided to climb over the side of the cot (the day before his 2nd birthday, incidentally!) and explore his bedroom in greater detail! The cot conveniently converted into a junior bed, just by removing the side panels, but that didn't stop him from rolling out of the bed. So we used this bed guard in order to keep him safe while sleeping and it worked a treat! The bed guard doesn't require to be fitted with screws or anything and simply slides under the mattress, using the weight and support of the mattress to stay in place. After a few months, he just started dragging it out from under the mattress and playing with it as a toy, but by that point he didn't really need the bed guard in place anyway as he'd got used to his new bed! The bed guard also folds away flat, so it's handy for travel or storage. In terms of design, it is simple but fine - white plastic feet that slide under the mattress and a blue outer with white mesh in the guard itself. It was low cost to buy and had a softer feel to it than wooden or metal bed guards, in terms of how much it would hurt if your child were to bang their head on it! Overall, we were happy with our choice of bed guard and it certainly did the job.
Yes, the time has come for my son to have the bars removed from his prison cell within his bedroom. Now we had bought a cot bed when he was a baby, this means that when the time comes all you do is remove the side rails. This is great as it means you don't have to fork out for a new bed which can cost the earth. Now the only problem is that it is hard to get accesories to fit cot beds, you usually have to buy specific models of sizes. This can sometimes end up costing more or you can be lucky and find it on the reduced section as an out of favour item or end of line.
As it happened we had been given some IKEA vouchers for christmas so we decided that we would go and try our luck there. Well they did do them but they just wern't what we were looking for. So we had noticed a Toys R Us outlet as we entered the retail park, we decided that as we had come this far we should go and have a look for one there. Well thank the lord that we did as we headed straight for the childrens accesories section we spotted them straight away. they were all neatly displayed in a way that we could easily assess wheather it would fit his cot bed. The price was the next best thing was the price only 19.99, although you can get them cheaper elswhere I had my heart set on freeing my son from his prison cell that day. So off I toddled with the item to the till and then bolted for the door to avoid having to pay (only joking) Of course I paid for it first then left at normal speed.
How Does It Look
Well once unboxed you notice that it is made up of padded fabric around a metal frame with a cotton translucent mesh in the centre. The padded fabric is a dark blue colour and the mesh is white, there were no other colour options that I could see of. Below this were two feet that folded out, this is so they lay under the matress to stabilise it. Although they are quite weighty they are designed so that when the matress is laid upon the weight of the child holds it in place. To aid this process the legs have rubber strips on so that they can't slide out should the child roll onto it in his/her sleep. On the whole I think it looks much nicer that having bars or a wooden fence type thingy, less intrusive I would say. So for looks and ease of assembly I give a crackin 10/10
Jakeys Opinion
Well although it took him a couple of weeks to either pluck up the courage or realise that he could get out of bed (so he is either soft or stupid) He loves it, it is like a new found freedom for him and a new way to annoy mummy and daddy. He likes to stand at his doorway and bang his empty bottle on his safety gate, this I am lead to believe can be translated as I want another drink. Or if you think I am stayin up here while you sit down there and watch MY telly, you have got another thing coming. He obviously trusts it which is a very important factor in my eyes. So with all this in mind I think he would probably also give it a big 10/10.
My Opinion
Well like I said earlier you can get much cheaper options at independant retailers and local markets. But I am quite pleased that I didn't now, I don't think I could have done much better than this one quality and safety wise. There was basically no assembly required to fit it which is a massive plus for me. The only draw back for me is that he has a new way to annoy mummy and daddy as we have to keep going upstairs to put him back in bed. But he will grow out of this act or it will lose it's novelty factor, so based on this I shall give it a 9/10. Although when he stops getting out of bed I shall amend it to a 10/10. I know that is probably not a fair mark as it is not the guards fault but it is my review HAH....!

What should I do? (considering selling my Moulton Bridgestone)
As some may know I own a rare Moulton Bridgestone Custom Sport. (This is the none separable sports version) I bought this from Avon Valley in August 2009. I rode it a few times and covered no more than 50 odd miles in total before crashing a motorbike and busting my collar bone and ribs quite badly... so August 2009 was the last time I actually rode this Moulton and it has been stored in an upstairs room ever since. I have the Brompton and I'm happy with this as my day-to-day commuter.
My focus has changed and I'd be more interested in a folding mountain for occasional rides along trails (disused railway lines etc.) rather than a racing road bike.
It is a shame to see it stood there doing nothing so I guess I should give someone else a chance to own it..... really a very nice bike to ride, full suspension, drop bars, nice components...... and of course it draws the attention of other cyclists.
I added a lightweight bottle cage and a black Brooks Swift saddle after these photos were taken. The colour of the bike looks black but it is actually a unique Richard Greasby purple.
I'm having the same issue with a straight bar schwinn hornet I have. I love it but I never ride it. I've decided to let it go since I don't see myself putting it to use anytime soon.
I say sell it. If you're not using it, let someone else take advantage of it.
It's a beautiful bike, I'm sure you'll find a good home for it.
Ha ha. I was just reminiscing - the last time a BF poster came on and said he wasn't getting much out of his Moulton, it resulted in quite an adventure for me -
Yeah, you would have gotten there faster too!
What a great adventure that was.
Sell it and get that folding mountain bike http://www.nycewheels.com/dahon-fold....html#pictures
Now if I'd said I was thinking about a Bike Friday, Airnimal Rhino or a Montague / Swissbike.... but not a Dahon, then I'd be accused of picking on Dahons yet again :rolleyes::D
I looked into those whilst I was trying to deciding on buying my TSR2 or not.
Lovely looking bike. I doubt my old bones could cope with the drop handle bars though :(
For small wheeled bikes, suspended front and rear, Moultons really do have it sorted in terms of comfort.
If anyone is interested, the bike is now listed on e-bay UK:
Starting price of £750
Just an update....
The bike sold on e-bay last Monday with Buy It Now... (£900) and the new owner took delivery last Thursday (according to the TNT tracking #)... I hope he is happy with it because he has not contacted me to say either way :rolleyes:
Congrats on the sale. I hope you don't miss it too much. I always regret parting with my bikes. I just hate to see them go :(
Guy has left me good ebay feedback and sounds happy with the bike :thumb:
I probably will miss it but I didn't get to ride it much..... I know I'd badly miss my Brompton if anything happend to it....

Is Batman's little buddy Joseph Gordon-Levitt the man for the job to defend Earth from magical evil? According to the boys at Latino-Review, they are hearing rumblings that Marvel execs are looking at the "Don Jon" and "Dark Knight Rises" star for the Sorcerer Supreme.
LR has apparently been on something of a Doctor Strange tear, and recently got their hands on what they claim are plot points for the upcoming Marvel movie (see those below). According to them, the main character in the current iteration of the script is a 30-something man. That fits Gordon-Levitt, who is 32 at the moment, though he could probably play 25. Dude is young looking.
Gordon-Levitt is certainly a talented enough chap to pull off any role he sets his mind to it. He's like James Franco in that way. You don't think they're right for something, but then they shows up and do it, and you realize you didn't know what you were talking about in the first place.
But as Doctor Strange? I would have preferred someone more seasoned or grizzled like Timothy Olyphant myself, but hey, I'm not Marvel, and I don't have a movie franchise to get off the ground.
Apparently this is just something Marvel is talking about amongst themselves, so it doesn't mean there are any offers on the table, or that they've even talked to JGL about it. So, you know, someone might have overheard the suits mention JGL, and voila, you have a story about Joseph Gordon-Levitt as potentially playing Doctor Strange.
But hey, now you have something to talk about for Monday!

text: In Grozny, victorious Chechen defenders were mopping up what was left of the Russian ground units today,TIME Moscow reporter Yuri Zarakhovichis reporting from the city. Before today's air strikes, he says, eight dead Russian soldiers lay before the nine-story, modernistic presidential palace itself, the epicenter of heavy fighting of the last three days. Now, burned and mangled Russian soldiers are as easy to spot as the dead among Grozny's inhabitants. "We clear away the corpses of our fallen comrades, but we can't clear away all the Russian corpses," said Chechen militia man Ilyas Salatayev. "But it's not our fault. We offered the Russians the chance to stop fighting, to let them take away their dead. They turned our offer down."

There may be a bit of irony that Australian native David Yankey, who prepped in the former confederate state of Georgia, is an All-American offensive lineman for Stanford. There is no mistaking that the 6-foot-5, 300-pound Yankey is piling up the honors.
Playing mostly at left tackle, Yankey has been selected a first-team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association and Sporting News, having been tabbed second-team All-American by the Associated Press. On Tuesday, Yankey was named the Morris Trophy winner, the award given to the best offensive lineman in the Pac-12. He'll receive that award at a luncheon in Seattle on Jan. 17.
"It's definitely an honor and a lot of respect from oppo- nents," said Yankey, named a Freshman All-American last year by Yahoo Sports. "That's awesome to hear. But, the most important thing is that our team did well."
The Cardinal (11-2) is readying to meet Wisconsin (8-5) in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Jan. 1.
"Going to the Rose Bowl has been our goal the past four years," Yankey said. "We talk about winning the Pac-12 championship. This year, we were able to accomplish that, so we're ecstatic."
This season, Yankey has met the challenge of playing four of the five offensive line positions, even filling in at tight end on occasion. Cardinal offensive line coach Mike Bloomgren calls Yankey, "the most dominant and versatile offensive lineman in the nation."
"David Yankey is a physically dominant player whose versatility has had a huge impact for Stanford this year," Bloomgren said. "We have had the comfort of starting him at left tackle to protect the quarterback's blind side in every passing situation. But, we also couldn't pass up the opportunity to put him at guard and watch the best pulling offensive lineman in the country."
The dog days of fall camp weren't always easy for Yankey.
"Switching positions was difficult early in the season," Yankey said. "I remember one day after a bad practice for me, coach Bloomgren told me, 'This too shall pass. You'll get used to this.'"
Yankey has been instrumental in mentoring the Cardinal's talented true freshman offensive linemen, most notably Andrus Peat, Kyle Murphy and Josh Garnett.
"All the freshman linemen are studs," Yankey said. "I've been telling everyone all year that they are extremely talented and good kids. They're going to do great things."
"David is one of the biggest influences on me," Garnett said. "When I have a question about pulling or on what I have to do on a certain quick set, David helps me out. That shows character."
Born in Sydney, Yankey's size at a young age didn't go unnoticed by local athletes.
"They tried to get me to play Australian Rules football," Yankey said. "My mom held me off on that."
The Yankeys left Australia for Roswell, Ga., when he was 8 because his father, David, had a job opportunity. Yankey prepped at Centennial, where he was a four-year varsity player for the Knights.
"We were playing a rival team who had a senior linebacker who was going to North Carolina," Centennial assistant coach Jeff Burch said. "When David was a sophomore, he went right after the guy on one play and wiped him out. I said, 'Oh, man. I think we got something here.' He's the nicest kid off the field, but once he's on the field, it's a like a switch goes off."
By the time Yankey was a senior, Southeastern Conference power Florida had offered a scholarship. Once Florida was on board, other SEC schools, such as Georgia, followed suit.
Then Stanford offensive line coach Greg Roman helped do his part to sway Yankey to the West Coast.
"Do you want a regular four doors or a Cadillac?" Roman asked Yankey. "Stanford is the Cadillac. You get the best of everything — academics and football."
"There were a couple of tempting offers," Yankey said. "But, once I got to Stanford, it was an incredible campus, incredible school with a great atmosphere. It's an awesome place to play football."
Yankey played in the first two games of the 2010 season, but an injury caused him to miss the rest of the year, which he used as a medical redshirt. Yankey is inked to play one more year at Stanford, but he could play two more, though that's doubtful. The way he's performing, Yankey is on pace to be a high NFL draft pick in 2014. His versatility will make him a coveted commodity when the time comes to turn pro.
"It's fun to pull as a guard," Yankey said. "Pass-rush tackle is always exciting because you're going against their best defensive lineman. I like run-blocking a little more than pass-blocking. I like grinding people down in the run game all game long."
Yankey's father was born in Ghana. Hence, Yankey's unique middle name of "Famiyekyi," which means "Junior" in Ghanaian.
In any language, there is no debating Yankey is one of the best offensive linemen in the country. He's an All-American, make no mistake about it.

Washington Free Beacon
November 11, 2013
CBS White House correspondent Major Garrett called the Obama administration "desperate" to end its Obamacare woes on CBS This Morning Monday.
"The president's poll numbers are down," Garrett said. "Senate Democrats, especially those facing re-election next year, are worrying about the implications of Obamacare."
The White House, which has continually refused to release enrollment numbersthroughout the disastrous rollout of the law since Oct. 1, will finally divulge that data this week.
Garrett said the administration had taken care to set both political and mathematical expectations for the amount "as low as humanly possible."

Age Cymru and our sister charity Age Cymru Gwent were guests on BBC Wales's Jason Mohammad Programme yesterday (Thursday 15 January).
We gave our reaction to a story about Age UK, Red Cross and the RVS calling for volunteers and staff to be stationed in hospitals to help to feed and hydrate vulnerable patients.
Our Head of Policy and Public Affairs - Graeme Francis, told the Jason Mohammad Programme:
"The pressures on providing NHS services during the winter have been well documented over recent weeks.
"It is vital that everyone involved in providing services to patients is pulling in the same direction to ensure that patients receive high quality services where and when they need them.
"Services provided by Age Cymru across Wales can play an important role in helping patients and reducing pressure on the NHS.
"Many of these services are already established and range from assisting people with tasks in hospital to helping patients return home and supporting them to resettle once they've been discharged.
"This is especially important as it helps to free up beds on wards and can reduce the pressure on A&E departments.
"Age Cymru would welcome similar discussions in Wales on what more we could do to support hospital services.
"Hospitals need to be clear about what they need from the third sector and the roles that volunteers can fulfil – there has sometimes been confusion over this in the past."

We've all seen and read them, the hip hop interview. They've been around since well, hip hop started blowing up around the world. I know as a kid, I loved a good interview. There was always something to learn about an artist or group that I didn't really know much about besides their music. Whether it was in a magazine like "The Source" or even a good Arsenio Hall show interview. Some artists put on a good interview, others are rather boring. You've always had the most over used phrase in hip hop being used by just about everyone with, "knowhattaImsaying". You had others that just went bonkers during a live interview ala early Beastie Boys and you've even had controversial interviews that lead to someone getting fucked up or started beef. I've gotten a few interviews lined up in the next couple weeks and to kick off our celebration of the almighty interview, I've lined up some classic interviews from hip hop's past.
Vanilla Ice on the Arsenio Hall show. Yes, its Vanilla Ice, and yes, they are talking about Hammer as well. I just think its funny how Arsenio puts Mr. Van Winkle on blast during the interview. Vanilla is just stammering along trying to get out of the thing with a little bit of respect.
Classic DMC interview where he shows off his pimped out Caddy. I was surprised I couldn't find more earlier interviews with Run DMC as a group
The infamous Ice-T/Bodycount incident hits Australia. This was a huge thing back in the day, Warner Brothers went through the ringer and in a way so did Ice, who is probably lucky to make it through this whole thing in fairly unscathed fashion.
The Beastie Boys on the…..Joan Rivers show? The older heads will remember a Beasties group that wasn't trying to save Tibet, or the calm dudes they are now. The Beasties were, the best way to put it, brats. If anyone ever saw the video release they did with "Licensed To Ill" will remember the crew groping barely old enough girls, putting their hands down their pants, throwing water on a journalist in a hotel room and basically trashing a hotel room. This interview has the B-boys in raaaare form with Joan Rivers. Hilarity ensues.
A classic interview with Masta Ace. You know I couldn't sneak by without posting some "Slaughtahouse" vintage of Masta Ace. Also an added bonus of him in the "Music Man" days.

Hi, and thank you for an amazing theme!
Question #1
I am right now putting together the team site for our page and was wondering if there is a way of using the icons that are available when generating the icon boxes, without actually adding the boxes. I am able to link the icon from the folder, but in this case the icon is barely visible, since there is no colored ball around it. I was planning to use the icons next to telephone numbers and e-mail addresses beneath each team member. Hopefully I explained the situation clearly enough.
Of course I would be able to edit the icons myself, but I was wondering if there would be an easier way.
Question #2
I have embedded a google map on to the contact page. However I am not able to get the map to stretch all across the content area. Is there a way of getting the map to stretch all over the area?
All the best!
PROOOYAugust 27, 2012 at 6:07 pm #88424
Hi PROOY,
For #1, it'll be easiest to just use HTML to insert the icon you want with the correct class name which will give you the background color set by your theme choices. For example:

As long as you know the name of the icon, you can just reference in the URL (Abucus.png in this example). Make sure to replace yoursite.com with YOUR site and put that html into the HTML tab of your visual editor.
Make sure that in the Layout box on the lower right hand side of your Contact page editor you have selected Fullsize so that you don't have a sidebar. That way the map and expand to the entire width of your content area.
Additionally, I believe you can add in the google maps iframe into the featured media area by adding the iframe code into the "Add Video or Iframe by URL" field after pressing that button.
DevinAugust 28, 2012 at 7:27 am #88425
Hi Devin,
Thank you for your answer!
#1 The html code worked great. However for some reason there is a large space left after the icon, which separates the icon from the phone number or e-mail address i try to insert on the same row. Using the alignment tabs did not help either. Is there a way of removing the space?
#2 I'm sorry, I was not really clear with my question. There were no problems with embedding the map, and the iframe code worked as well. However, I am not able to stretch the map over the whole content area. Even though the page is in fullsize mode, some white (of course depending on the color settings) area is left on both sides of the map and it stretches only as far as the text area goes. I was wondering if there is any way of expanding the map over this area, so that it would be as wide as the content box itself.
PROOYAugust 29, 2012 at 4:04 pm #88426
Can we take a look at your contact page and if you are using the icons on a different page that page as well. We'll need to inspect the css and see whats going on live :)
DevinAugust 31, 2012 at 1:32 pm #88427
Ok, I understand. I'll contact you guys as soon as I get the page online!
Thanks for helping out!September 3, 2012 at 3:28 pm #88428
Glad that Devin helped you win.
The topic 'The use of icon box icons without the box' is closed to new replies.
