For the rest of Canada, your order will likely be shipped via Canada Post Expedited Parcel, but occasionally a courier is the cheaper option. We pass our small business plan savings on to you, regardless of shipping method, and then further discount your shipping by a percentage of the total value of your order. Every order is checked with Canada Post and two different courier brokers to find the least expensive option.
- We DO NOT store your credit card information, so the shipping invoice will need to be paid via the "Complete your order" link in the email.
- Once paid, we will ship your package and provide tracking information.
- If you wish to cancel completely due to the shipping cost, we will refund any prepaid purchase in full. Please note that the credit card networks (Visa and Mastercard) and your card issuing bank may take 3 - 4 business days or longer to process a refund.

We only process Interac payments after your order is confirmed, so those payments will be allowed to time-out or you can manually cancel them through your bank.
USA Shipping:
- Please contact us before placing an order if you are an American resident looking to purchase our products.
- A lot of our products are either directly or indirectly sourced from the USA. It is likely that you will be able to find the product you are interested in at a US based online retailer, or directly with the manufacturer. Their shipping will likely be cheaper than what we can offer to ship the item in to the US. In addition, some items may require permits or FDA/Agriculture inspection before they could be imported.
International Shipping:
- Please contact us before placing an international order.
- International shipping tends to be quite expensive due to the size and weight of many of our items. In addition, many countries require permits, or completely restrict, edible or farm products from entering their countries.
- Please note that should you wish to proceed with an international order, any taxes, duties or other import fees are not included in our pricing or shipping charge and are the responsibility of the customer. Items shipped internationally and not claimed due to unpaid fees or permit issues will be abandoned at the port of entry. We will do our best to advise you on regulations we can find, but we cannot guarantee that information. It is best to check with your country's Trade Department, Border Services, Agricultural Department or other government body to confirm your items are eligible for import. Consequently, we cannot issue refunds for international orders or any shipping fees once sent.
Why don't we do automated online shipping quotes?
Well, shipping is a complicated business when you try to automate it! For now, we custom pack all of our orders to get the best fit. That may include cutting a box to size. That saves you money because you aren't shipping air. A lot of our products are light, so the size of the box, as opposed to the weight, determines the rate. If we were to use standard box sizes we couldn't offer as good of a price. We also check multiple shipping providers (Canada Post, Canpar, Purolator, UPS, FedEx) to get you the best rate.

Laporta's Restaurant & Bar
- 50% off
- Only on the App
- Alexandria
- American (New), Jazz & Blues
Dressed up with spinach, brie, roma tomatoes and resting on baguette crisps, the Seared Jumbo Gulf Shrimp appetizer is the supermodel of shrimp dishes.There's something so very American about the idea of a restaurant and bar owned by and named after a group of brothers. And there's something doubly American about being able to sidle up to a table and have the bartenders and servers remember who you are. Add to that a menu that's big enough to satisfy everyone while still being refined enough to inspire confidence that these guys know what's up in a kitchen and we've got ourselves a true vision of what the phrase "American dining experience" is meant to mean. "We're family owned and operated," said Chef Douglas Laporta, whose recipes rely on three things: 1) fresh ingredients; 2) expert skills; and 3) being awesome. Demonstrating that last part, peep that photo of the Seared Jumbo Gulf Shrimp appetizer. Dressed up with spinach, brie, roma tomatoes and resting on baguette crisps, this dish is almost like the supermodel of shrimp dishes. Easy on the eyes, but way meatier. It goes well with martinis (served plentifully) and live jazz (played seven nights per week here).
Menu Highlights:
Seared Jumbo Gulf Shrimp, $17.50
Mussels (served three ways), $10.50
Tutta Mare Pasta (shrimp and clams over linguine), $21.50
Virginia Brook Trout, $23.50
Bourbon BBQ Hanger Steak, $28.50
Daily, 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. (last seating)

Verizon's New Ad Campaign Is a Load of Half-Truths
Nov 1, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Why is Verizon Wireless telling half-truths in its latest advertising campaign? It does make the company look better than its competitors, but here's the problem: When customers realize what they're led to believe is only a half-truth, they will be very upset with Verizon.
So why risk that damage to the brand and the customer relationship?
My Pick of the Week is the debut of Windows 8 and the Surface tablet, which could become Microsoft's next big hurrah if done right. Congratulations, Microsoft.
A Question of Trust
Verizon is not lying. Still, it is telling only half the truth, and the result leads customers to believe something that isn't true. Verizon is trying to make customers think it offers better and faster service. The problem is 4G LTE is different, but not better. So it's not true.
In fact, if customers knew the whole truth, Verizon's ads would have no selling power. Instead, they would hurt Verizon because they would destroy the trust the company has built over the years.
I am talking about Verizon's latest ad campaign, which has a small group of people looking at graphs in order to decide which carrier has the best 4G LTE coverage.
The TV commercial ends with... Verizon, which is shown as having the best 4G LTE coverage -- better than all the other carriers combined. The half of that that's true is also meaningless. Customers want speed. They don't care how a carrier provides it. Different networks can use different technologies to achieve the same goal.
Customers don't think one is better than the other. Customers don't really care what a technology is called. They want performance -- and Verizon is not the only carrier to offer performance. However, the way Verizon asks the question, it sounds as though 4G LTE is the only way, and that's the problem. It is misleading a marketplace that doesn't know any better.
It may be true that Verizon offers more 4G LTE coverage. However, it is also true that it does not matter. All that matters is speed, and other carriers -- like AT&T, for example -- also offer speed using a combination of technologies like 4G LTE and HSPA+.
In the TV commercials, Verizon seems to win based on how the question is asked. However, when the whole story is known, both Verizon and AT&T look very similar, with faster service. In fact, AT&T claims its fast network is accessible in more locations. Verizon says the same thing. So what is the customer to believe?
Keep It Real
From the customer's perspective, what really matters is which network offers the fastest service where you spend the most time. The bottom line is, if the network you use has been updated where you spend time, you will have the highest speed. If not, you won't. Period.
No carrier offers high-speed to all customers in all locations. The industry is undergoing a multi-year upgrade. So if speed matters to you, then you must find the network that is the fastest where you spend time. You can't get that information from a television commercial. You can't get it from a newspaper, magazine, Web or radio advertisement. You can only get that by testing for yourself.
Even inside each market there are strengths and weaknesses, and only a real test by a real customer will tell the truth. Each carrier has different standards and speeds, depending on where you are standing in their network. Standing across the street can mean the difference between a 3G and 4G signal.
So don't choose based on an ad. Choose based on the service you get where you spend your time.
Verizon television ads confuse the situation. They show a chart illustrating how much 4G LTE coverage each carrier offers. It compares Verizon, AT&T and Sprint. However it only looks at 4G LTE. It does not show other technologies like HPSA+.
Advertising half the truth is no way to teach the customer. Rather, it's a way to fool the customer. I know Verizon. I like Verizon. But I think Verizon is going down the wrong path. It is playing with fire, and it will get burned. I hope it recognizes what it is doing and corrects things before it's too late.
Sprint Nextel is a different story. It is falling behind in the race to bring high-speed wireless networks to its customers. But Sprint will catch up some day.
However, both AT&T and Verizon offer fast speed and excellent quality wireless data service in an increasing number of places.
They are both rapidly updating their networks to 4G. They are just using different technologies to do so.
I truly hope Verizon stops this before it ruins its reputation in the marketplace.
My Pick of the Week is the new Windows 8 operating system and Surface tablet. A hearty congratulations to Microsoft on what could become its next big hurrah -- if done right.
I'll be writing more about this in an upcoming column, but this is a big and new step for Microsoft. Will it be successful? The answer is both yes and no. How much it wins and how much it loses depends on what it does next. This is a very innovative new technology that will be the core operating system powering Microsoft's new adventure in the world of PCs, tablets, smartphones and the cloud.
It has the potential to win big in this new cloud competition with Apple, Google and others. The problem is, it is going to force every customer to make this switch -- even customers who would rather not do so. Many customers want to switch, but most would prefer to stay put if given the choice. Going forward, Microsoft should promote and support both its standard Windows and this new Windows 8, and let customers make the choice.
This type of drastic change can be successful when rolled out over time. Let customers have the choice to stay put or venture into the new. Over time, more customers will take the leap. However, forcing customers to do something they don't feel comfortable doing is a sure way of losing business.
I have several suggestions that could help if they are open to listening. I'll spell them out in an upcoming column. For now, let me just say congratulations, Microsoft. I hope this is as successful as it can be.

Support splints and braces for the ankle, knee, wrist, thumb, elbow, back, shoulder and neck help relieve the pain of arthritis, sports injuries and chronic joint, ligament and muscle damage.
Orthopaedic braces can offer functional mechanical support or simply act as a comforting level of compression for an ankle sprain or knee injury.
Support bracing has now become a huge worldwide industry.
Braces tend to be used for a variety of medical conditions and are designed for different degrees of support or protection.
The concept of bracing is primarily concerned with giving support structurally, functionally or for re-positioning and stabilisation of the joints.
Generally, support braces or splints are used in the field of orthopedics as a result of ageing, in conditions such as osteoarthritis, due to traumatic injuries, or in sports injuries were they may be used to treat an injury.
In some cases, such as ankle braces and knee braces, supports are often used to prevent injury, or with pre-existing sports injuries to prevent a recurrence of the knee or ankle injury.Tennis player Andy Murray regularly wears ankle support to prevent ankle sprains during matches.
Since the sciences of sports taping and bracing or splinting of joints have the same treatment aims, the design of ankle braces or knee supports very often follow the techniques used with sports tape. So, for example, you can get a PSB Ankle Brace 8 which is designed to follow the figure of 8 technique used in Athletic Taping.
Other ankle braces will have a splint which is equivalent to a "Stirrup" of zinc oxide tape used in the basket weave technique, while knee taping uses the sports tape to form similar attachment splints, both medially and laterally on the knee joint to support the collateral ligaments.
While sports braces often use athletic taping as the template for the design of supports, braces which are not used in sport may simply be designed for compression or created with a much more complex structure.
How to choose a brace or support?
Firstly, it is important that you take advice before opting to buy an brace or support. In some cases the restrictions created by enveloping the joint in a brace may not be what's indicated. Simple ankle sprains, for example, may simply require rest, ice, elevation and compression with a tubular bandage, and once the ankle pain and swelling have subsided a programme of active rehabilitation where the muscles are exercised.
However, when a brace is indicated, the level of compression and mechanical support must be assessed.
For minor sprains or low level pain, where it is only necessary to apply compression to a joint, the choice of a lower level support may be appropriate. This may be a neoprene sleeve or an ankle support such as The Push Care ankle brace. While this style of support will not offer any mechanical or functional bracing element, they offer compression and heat around a joint which many patients and athletes find helpful. It is no surprise that knee supports are most commonly seen in marathon runners where they offer a sense of psychological support alongside the physiological compression.
The choice of a functional or mechanical brace, is more complex. If it is a sports brace, for example, it is important that it is not too bulky. What sport is it for? Do Governing Body's allow bracing?
On the ski slopes you'll see a collection of ski knee braces or wrist and thumb braces because of the vulnerability of these joints during skiing, while in professional Rugby players tend to use zinc oxide tape such as Strappal and Leukotape P for mechanical support of the knee or ankle.
Sports braces tend to be used in amateur sports where taping techniques may not be widely known. A good fitting knee or ankle support will offer greater stability than inexpertly applied sport tape.
Choice of bracing in arthritis and hospital led orthopaedics will largely be determined by consultants and specialized physiotherapists, but with NHS constraints the quality of braces offered by the British Health Service is not reflective of the range of professional medical braces available to patients.
A chartered physiotherapist in Private Practice will be able to offer to advise to patients with regards to appropriate choices for orthopaedic supports.

The French people around us did not stanI remember me and my friend Richard whil I knew from The Bulls Head pub in Woodhouse Eaves tanking it down the M1 from Leicester in Blue Ford Escort Mark II. It was foggy we were stuck in a traffic jam and had to get to the Tower Thistle where our 'package trip' was departing from. We screeched into the tower bang on departure time - noticed the parking was going to be 50 quid for the weekend and miraculously - I have no idea how - managed to park in a street not far away without any parking meters. This just would not happen today and I still can't quite beleive it - anyway I soon stopped worrying about the car - we JUST got on the coach - they had called our name twice already. Stayed a dodgy travel lodge outside Paris - all we cared about was going to see U2. This was my third time - I still have the framed ticket. God knows what happened to my t-shirt. BBKing was brilliant - I remember lots of candles and a lovely backlit stage with waves of light. We were jumping up and down possessed and the people round us, especially behind just kept tutting and saying sit down! Can you believe it - it was a riot near the stage - everyone letting go and the one thing I always remember is that all the people round us were sat down. Don't know what happened to the t-shirt. LOVED this one - I still love Desire now and Angel of Harlem now - this was a different U2 era but as memorable and exhilerating as always.
06 October, 2009
Foreign ShoresNo gigs in the UK this time around so there was a massive exodus of U2 fans to foreign shores. With 3 mates in tow, we travelled by road and ferry to Paris to a fantastic indoor arena. BB King was supered as support before the boys took to the stage. Fantastic gig with the introduction of the new material off Rattle and Hum, Silver & Gold and the awesome All i want being highlights for me. Then to travel home and await the live broadcast of the New Years Eve gig from the Point in Dublin on Radio 1, what a christmas and new year......

Super quick thrown together shopping outfit! I was wearing something else but I decided to change last minute as I'm going to go shopping this evening on Oxford Street. I know I may as well hand my money straight to Topshop at the end of the month but there are few things I've had my eye from other shops recently and I hate ordering online when you have to pay for shipping, Seriously, more shops need to cotton on that free shipping= people ordering! Most of this stuff is all old, I bought the coat when I first started at university over four years ago (OMG, sob!) and wore it so much! Then it worked it's way to the back of my wardrobe but this sort of style is ~popular~ at the moment so good job I didn't chuck it! Hard to believe that its August and Im wearing a scarf… be serious!

Burger King Has Chicken Tenders for the First Time Ever
Burger King is the latest of many to offer new fried poultry products. Shake Shack is selling chicken nuggets now, KFC just launched its new hot honey flavor, and Cracker Barrel finally added fried chicken to its menu. There's nothing too crazy to note about Burger King's variety, except they just so happen to be BK's first dive into the tender market. Yeah, really!
Burger King has formerly experimented with all kinds of chicken products, including spicy nuggets and world-famous chicken fries, but the new tenders are somehow uncharted territory. They're described as "whole muscle white meat chicken" coated in "home-style seasoned breading" that are "juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside." Yep, sounds like a tender to us!
An ace reporter for the brand took to the streets of New York, where he asked civilians if they'd ever had them. Everyone shown in the promotional video lied and said they had loved BK's tenders - despite the fact that they've never graced menus before.
After actually trying them, the fib became reality, and everyone raved about the snack on camera. But it is a marketing promo, after all, so we'll take the enthusiasm with a grain of salt and some ketchup.
To celebrate the new product, Grubhub is offering free four-piece orders when diners order $10 worth of Burger King from September 25 through September 30. One two-piece order of Crispy Chicken Tenders will set you back approximately $2.49, and a four-piece will cost you $4.49. For more on the Florida-based chain that fell victim to Wendy's fire mixtape, here are 10 things you didn't know about Burger King.

Whole Effluent Toxicity Regulation In MichiganContact: Glen Schmitt 517-290-6424
Whole-effluent toxicity (WET) is the combined toxic (poisonous) effect of an effluent on aquatic animals (fish, crustaceans, etc.). The State of Michigan regulates WET through a water discharge permit system (NPDES) and other regulatory venues under the authority of Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (P.A. 451) and other state laws.
Permittees or other parties may be required to perform WET tests on wastewater effluents to protect lakes and streams from toxic effects. We have compiled a LIST OF CONSULTANTS who offer WET testing services. Consultants performing WET tests for Michigan dischargers must provide a rigorous level of QUALITY ASSURANCE (click here to see "WD Modifications to ASTM 1193-7").
For ease of reporting and quality assurance, Michigan encourages the use of the preformatted WET TEST REPORTING Form (.doc) or WET TEST REPORTING Form (.pdf).
For additional information on documents and information sources for WET, see the following web sites:

The Karaite Canon: Manuscripts and Ritual Objects from Cairo
Exhibit - Artifacts | August 28 – December 14, 2018 every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday | 11 a.m.-4 p.m. | Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life (2121 Allston Way)
Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life
In 1971, Seymour Fromer (1922-2009), founder of The Magnes, led an expedition to Cairo, Egypt. The Karaite Canon highlights a selection from the over fifty manuscripts he brought to California, along with ritual objects belonging to Cairos Karaite community. At the time, the aim of The Magnes was to salvage unique documents during a period of great turmoil in the Middle East.
Since the ninth century of the Common Era, Karaite Jews (Heb. karaim) have been following doctrines that differ from the normative rabbinic tradition based on the oral laws and the Talmud. The name karaim has been interpreted alternatively as masters of the Scripture (baale ha-miqrah), adhering to the written components of the biblical law; or as callers, religious activists engaged in promoting their views. Over the centuries, Karaites migrated from the Middle East and North Africa to the Byzantine, Ottoman, and Russian Empires. Today, Karaites live in Eastern Europe, Israel, and the United States.
The materials preserved at The Magneswhich were assembled from a larger cache of manuscripts kept in the Karaite communitys archivesoffer a unique glimpse into the history and cultural networks of Egypt. They range greatly in language (among them: Hebrew, Arabic, Judeo-Arabic, Judeo-Turkish, and Italian), chronology (from the 17th to the early 20th centuries), and content. The texts include liturgy, communal records, Islamic court documents, compilations of ritual rules, lists of magic spells and medical remedies, as well as poems and personal records of eminent members of the community.
The manuscripts are accompanied by a variety of ritual objects, original ketubbot (marriage contracts), and by photographic slides providing a visual travelogue of Seymour Fromers expedition. The exhibition is augmented by a set of poignant photographs taken in Cairo in 1985 by the celebrated Bay Area photographer, Ira Nowinski, along with new work by Nicki Green, a contemporary artist and a graduate student in the UC Berkeley Department of Art Practice.
Together, these materials speak of the wealth of resources that The Magnes has continued to collect in the course of half a century, making them available to scholars, artists, and the public.

"A dream. That's what being at the Royal Opera House means to me. I always wanted to sing on this stage and now I am!"
Portuguese soprano Susana Gaspar is in the second year of the Royal Opera House's Jette Parker Young Artists Programme and is relishing the opportunity of performing at Covent Garden. Susana is currently singing the role of Giannetta in Laurent Pelly's production of L'elisir d'amore alongside Aleksandra Kurzak, Roberto Alagna, Ambrogio Maestri and Fabio Capitannuci. "It's a great cast to work with. I particularly enjoy working with Aleksandra who I worked with last year on Le nozze di Figaro. She's a wonderful singer and very nice colleague".
Susana's role in L'elisir will be her first Donizetti work. "The music is great as I particularly love bel canto opera. I love the spirit of the music and the fact that it is both technical and beautiful. It's great for young singers."
Susana has been in the UK for six years, studying at the National Opera Studio and Guildhall School of Music and Drama before joining the Royal Opera through the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme, which counts among its alumni the likes of Alfie Boe, Jacques Imbrailo, Marina Poplavskaya and Matthew Rose. The programme gives singers the opportunity to perform in their own productions, concerts and recitals, as well as small roles for the main Royal Opera Season. It also gives singers vital experience through cover roles. For L'elisir d'amore, Susana also will cover the lead role of Adina, a part that Susana says is her dream role.
As well as polishing their vocal technique, Jette Parker Young Artists are given support in all aspects of stagecraft, including training in movement, stage fighting, mime skills and language skills, to allow them to tackle the wide range of repertory performed by the Company: "Italian is very similar to Portuguese, so for me it's easy. Singing in English however, especially in front of an English audience, is a challenge". Susana will be singing in English for her role in Harrison Birtwistle's The Minotaur, which returns to Covent Garden in January 2013: "It's quite difficult music and definitely something we don't do every day. It needs more time to prepare to get our bodies used to it. It's very different to L'elisir!"
The future promises much for Susana but for now she is focused firmly on the present and honing her craft as best she can at Covent Garden: "It is such a great treat singing with The Royal Opera. As well as being a very good start for my career, the Company is full of wonderful artists, musicians and people. It's such a pleasure singing here."
L'elisir d'amore runs from 13 November - 7 December. The Minotaur runs from 17 - 28 January 2013. Find out more about the Jette Parker Young Artists Programme. The JPYA Scheme is supported by the Oak Foundation.

Making Import Code More Efficient, Access 2016

Joined: 7-January 11
So I currently use the below code to import about 500 excel spreadsheets into my Access DB but the process takes my computer about 35 minutes to do all of the imports. I was wanting to see if anyone had recommendations that would potentially speed up the process and reduce the amount of time it takes. Here is the code:
Function Import_Excel(myPath As String, myFile As String, myExt As String, myTable As String, Optional myRange As String, Optional mySQLTable As String, Optional mySQLField As String)
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM WrongSheetErrors"
Do While myFile <> ""
If myFile Like myExt Then
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, , myTable, myPath & myFile, True, myRange
If Err.Number = 2391 Then ' <>0 // DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO [WrongSheetErrors] ([FileName],[FileErrorNumber],[FileErrorDescription],[FileErrorSource]) VALUES ('" & myFile & "', " & Err.Number & ", " & Err.Description & ", " & Err.Source & ");"
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "INSERT INTO WrongSheetErrors ([FileName], [FileErrorNumber],[FileErrorDescription]) VALUES (" & _
Chr(34) & myFile & Chr(34) & ", " & _
Err.Number & ", " & _
Chr(34) & Err.Description & Chr(34) & ");"
'DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
'DoCmd.SetWarnings True
Resume Next
Else: Resume Next
End If
Name myPath & myFile As myPath & myFile
End If
myFile = Dir()
If DCount("*", "WrongSheetErrorsQuery") > 0 Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery "WrongSheetErrorsQuery"
Else: MsgBox "All Good"
End If
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Function

Hi. Not sure if there's anything else you can do to speed it up. Processing 500 files will just take some time by default. For example, if you take the biggest file and import it manually, how long does it take? Just curious...

Yeah I understand it will take time, just looking to see if there is a more efficient way for me to implement it
I average 22 seconds a file.

would currentdb.execute be faster than docmd.runsql?
Would it help if you used actual error trapping, so you only looked at the error code if there was an error? Checking for an error 500 time may be slower than waiting for Access to tell you there is one? And within the trap, you can trap and report any errors.
You current code only traps one possible error if there are any others it will still try to import. (Maybe one of the files is password protected? Excel thinks it's already open?, IS it corrupted?
I normally do that in conjunction with labels in the code
On a quick glance I would put a label in just above the Loop Line, or perhaps the "myFile = Dir()" and call it LoopEnd:
Move all your current error working into the Trap area, and Resume LoopEnd:
Let me know if you'd like more detail

Your code is a little strange ... !
' ...
If myFile Like myExt Then
' Do import or write error
Name myPath & myFile As myPath & myFile
End If
' ...
What is going on in that If statement? Since you are not using a wildcard in the comparison pattern then it will only evaluate to True if myFile = myExt (although case insensitively). Is that intended?
If the result is False then the expression Name myPath & myFile As myPath & myFile doesn't appear to do anything useful, except rename the file to what it was before!
What am I missing?

Yes I was just about to come back on that one.
I also wondered about the line
myFile = Dir()
Personally I would have written this as a sub rather than a function: It is not returning anything. - I know it makes no practical difference I just like to know that my functions are there to return something. It's one my few policies.

David, It looks like this might have been called originally in the code that calls this function, and this line is used to iterate over any more files in the folder.
I agree, it's messy. But I wanted to try and work out what else is happening before tidying up!

A tip, when passing parameters to a function or subroutine, it helps if you comment the purpose of the parameters.
By its name, myExt is implied to be a file extension, such as ".xls".
Is your routine looking for only ".xls", or whatever is passed to it? ".xlsx" ".xlsm" ".xls" etc.?
instead of like, maybe be more explicit:
if right(myFile,4) = right(myExt,4) then 'this captures both ".xls" and ".xlsx" types of matches.
Another approach
if instr(1, myFile, myExt, 0) >0 'however, this could give erroneous results if the filename is "the.xlsx.file.description.doc", and it could also error using like. Unless of course you simply won't have any files with that type of name.

Thank you everyone for the response and help, I'll respond to everyone questions below:
Would it help if you used actual error trapping,I thought thats what I did there as it exports anything with an error to a table I have within the DB. I only specificed Err2391 because that was the only error I was getting upon import. The Sheets are protected but there is not password (its designed to prevent people from making accidental adjustments to the file)
On a quick glance I would put a label in just above the Loop Line, or perhaps the "myFile = Dir()" and call it LoopEnd:what do you mean by this?
I also wondered about the lineThis line could probably be remove as well, as its likely a holdover from my cobbled together code. I am not near as much of an expert as yall with writing code (I'm an novice at best) thus why I am turning to yall since yall are way better at this than me
What is going on in that If statement?I could probably remove that statement I cobbled this together from multiple places on the internet so it might be some hangover from the original stuff.
I agree, it's messy.I concur 100% :-D
Thanks for the tips! I am always open to learning and getting better at writing VBA as I am well aware of my shortcomings
Is your routine looking for only ".xls", or whatever is passed to it? ".xlsx" ".xlsm" ".xls" etc.?My routine is only looking for XLSB files in it as those will be the only files in the folder; nothing else.
Any recommends yall have to make this more efficient would be more than appreciated and thank you again for taking the time to read my question and help me out!

Actually, re-looking at it my guess is that parameter myExt will probably contain the wildcards when passed. eg "*.xls*"
It will work, but isn't very clear what's going on!!! And if that is the case then the line I questioned is necessary - don't remove it!
My advice is: if it works OK, then leave it alone!
It could be more 'efficient' if it were re-written to 'self-document' what is going on, or with fewer lines of code, but otherwise I don't think you'll be able to improve the execution time of the code.

Here is an outline covering error trapping. It's basic, but if you like it I'll have a go at putting a demon together.
This is just how I normally do it, but it puts in some structure, and if ti do get any more error you are told about them and can code as appropriate.
On error goto Trap: (Put this just after your Dims)
Do until something
move to the next whateever
on error resume next (This says to ignore any errors during the clean up. So if you try to close something that isn't open, for example, you won't get an error reported)
do your cleanup code
exit sub (This is needed to stop the normally running code from reaching the error trapping section)
Trap: (If there is an error the code jumps to here)
if err.number = 2391 then (This is the error you know about, so your existing code for that goes in here)
capture the error
Resume Loopend: (If you get that error you want to go to the next sheet, and continue round the loop)
msgbox err.number & " - " & err.description (This will tell you want the error number was and its description)
resume CleanExit: (CleanExit is where the final code goes if there is any. It may be just setting various objects to nothing. )
end if
end sub
I hope that gives you some pointers. The reason I tend to code like this as a standard structure is simply that I find it helps me when I revisit code a year or so later. Just like all the Dims are together, so is all the error handling, and your are in control of when you want to trap errors and when you want to ignore them.
Would you like me to have a go at restructuring the code for you? I won't be able to test it, or would you like to use it as a learning experience?
I hope that is some help. The code may not run any faster but you will find it easier to follow and to support.
I think case I would also put in a comment after the line with LIKE in. As Cheely Buddha pointed out Like without any wildcards means equals. So we think what you're doing here is passing "*.xls*" or similar, and so the line makes a lot of sense.
*.xls* would allow you to process almost any excel file.

thanks everyone for all of your help, especially with how to properly write an error handler.
After doing a lot more digging on it, I noticed that my excel files have ballooned from 300kb to 2.5mb and that this more than likely the culprit behind the slow imports. Im going to go through them all to figure how this happened and try to reduce the file sizes.

Excel files can balloon for all sorts of reasons.
But 300K to 2.5 meg ??
Do let us know how you get on, and let me know if a basic error trap demo file would help.
One thing I did forget to add to the code is a line AFTER the 'Resume' wherever that simply says
The code will normally never reach that line, but if you do get an error you haven't seen before, you can set the next line to resume, hit F8, and see the line that caused the problem.
I have found this VERY useful during the development of an app.

Credit cards and Millennials acquainted, but not friendly
This is a guest post from Rachel Sapin, who wrote today's $mart story on credit cards and Millennials.
In pursuit of finding out how the Millennial generation feels about credit cards, I turned to my three twenty-something roommates.
I emailed them some general questions concerning credit cards, including whether they had ever used one, what they used instead if not, and if they ever worried about — or thought about — their credit score. Here's what they had to say. Read more…

Mr. Speaker, this coming weekend, I have the great honour of coaching four exceptionally talented young girls from British Columbia at the national youth bowling five pin championships.
Portia Eldaun, Macenzi Lukkar, Kally Campbell and Janaya White, all from Sparwood, will represent British Columbia in the bantam girls division.
These four young girls who are between the ages of 8 and 10 have worked hard to get to where they are and to be able to participate in a national competition.
The national championships are being hosted by the great province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
I encourage anyone who will be out in the St. John's area on May 5, 6 and 7 to come out to the local five pin bowling centres and watch the best youth bowlers in Canada compete for national titles.
I wish all the competitors and coaches good luck.
Conservative Party of CanadaStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
André Bellavance Bloc Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, one year after the majority Conservative government came to power, the Quebec nation's worst fears are coming true.
This government is bulldozing its way through its legislative agenda with military efficiency. Its model of justice and democratic reform have led to a litigious relationship with Quebec.
The Conservative government is pursuing an all-Canadian economic policy that supports the industries it likes, while turning its back on Aveos, Electrolux, Mabe, RockTenn and others. It is ripping up the Kyoto agreement and once again preparing to centralize the regulation of financial markets in Toronto.
The other federalist parties are also complicit in Canada's management. Blithely appointing a Supreme Court judge and an Auditor General who are not bilingual, celebrating the failure to award contracts to the Davie shipyard, and increasing the number of bills that intrude into Quebec's jurisdiction show once again that Quebec is being neglected.
The Bloc Québécois is going back to work, with heart and soul, to plan a Quebec that is the master of its own destiny and to share that vision.

Mr. Speaker, the man of a thousand voices left us yesterday. Jean-Guy Moreau gave his last show one Friday in April 2012 at the Théâtre de la Ville, in Longueuil, not far from where I live.
The predecessor of today's great impersonators, Jean-Guy Moreau liked to think of himself as an impressionist, and he had an uncanny talent for assuming the personality of his subjects, whom he impersonated to a tee by capturing their very essence.
A great catalyst for the evolution of Quebec society, from the Quiet Revolution to present times, Jean-Guy Moreau accompanied us to the end. I would like to quote his friend, Robert Charlebois: "An entire chapter of Quebec's history has left us."
He was a true gem of Quebec culture. We will never forget his masterful parody of the great classic by his friend Robert Charlebois, when he took on the mannerisms and personality of René Lévesque and sang, "Chu rien qu'un gars ben ordinaire", "I'm just an ordinary guy".
Our thoughts are with his children, Véronique, Antoine and Sophie. His daughter Sophie recently published a biography of her father entitled Jean-Guy Moreau 50 ans,1 000 visages.
All that remains to be said is "Thank you, Jean-Guy Moreau". You were anything but ordinary.
The EconomyStatements By Members

John Williamson Conservative New Brunswick Southwest, NB
Mr. Speaker, one year ago, Canadians elected a strong, stable, national majority government. That government offered Canadians a responsible fiscal plan, economic leadership and a track record of keeping our great country afloat during turbulent economic times.
Instead of raising taxes on everything with a job destroying carbon tax or adding regulations, Canadians chose lower taxes to stimulate jobs and growth.
Thanks to the policies of our government, Canada has become one of the freest economies in the world, as rated by the Fraser Institute. As a result, we are one of the best countries in the world to open a business and create jobs.
We want to cut the tax burden, not raise taxes and cut opportunity. We want to lower the tax rates on all families, all the way up the income ladder, so each of us will have a greater incentive to work harder, climb higher and help Canada grow.
I am proud to sit as a government member and I look forward to implementing our low tax, low debt agenda to ensure Canada remains the envy of the world and a creator of wealth and opportunity for all Canadians.

Massimo Pacetti Liberal Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC
Mr. Speaker, today, the Liberal Party is becoming the most open party in the history of Canadian politics by bringing all Liberal supporters into the fold.
During our biennial convention in January, Liberal delegates voted in favour of making historic changes to the structure of the party by creating a new category of Liberal supporter, thereby giving all Canadians the chance to express their support for the Liberal Party and to choose its next leader.
The launch of this initiative marks the beginning of an new phase in the rebuilding of our party. In the coming days, Liberals across the country will be motivating and recruiting Liberal supporters.
Supporters will be part of a new generation of Liberals who will help modernize and develop our party as we look towards the 2015 election, by promoting change and developing a progressive policy platform that reflects the wishes of Canadians.
We encourage all Canadians who value growth, hope and equal opportunity to join us in building the Liberal movement and a better Canada.

Jeff Watson Conservative Essex, ON
Mr. Speaker, our Conservative government has done more than any other federal government to ensure a vibrant auto sector in Canada with: historic R and D funding for lighter, fuel-efficient, safer vehicles; a major investment in Ford's Essex engine plant and a new third shift of high-paying jobs; major border funding for expanded trade and just-in-time delivery; a Canada-U.S. beyond-the-border pact to further harmonize regulations and secure long-term speedy access for car makers and suppliers; and low taxes that fuel reinvestment in technology and products to keep autoworkers on the job.
Most important, when the global recession sideswiped our economy, our government stood by autoworkers, their families and communities by helping Chrysler and GM restructure.
However, the NDP, with so many CAW bosses on its front bench, voted against every measure to support autoworkers.
Our government is getting the job done for the auto sector.
50th Quebec GamesStatements By Members

François Choquette NDP Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House today to show my support for Drummondville's bid to host the 50th Quebec Games in 2015.
The city would be proud to host the Quebec Games, and an enthusiastic, dynamic bid committee has been created. I would point out that the 50th edition of the Quebec Games would be held during celebrations to mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of Drummondville.
In honour of this historic celebration, the bid committee has decided to bring the city's founding father, Frederick George Heriot, back to life by creating Fred the mascot. I am proudly wearing my Fred toggle here today to show my support for Drummondville's bid.
Through various activities to promote an initiation into sports, recreation, competition and high-level performance, the programming of the Quebec Games encourages young people to engage in sports and supports them as they strive for excellence.
I am committed to supporting initiatives that encourage sports as part of a healthy lifestyle.
TenoreStatements By Members

Mark Warawa Conservative Langley, BC
Mr. Speaker, Canadian musician, Jill Siemens, the founder of the famous Canadian Tenors, has done it again. She has created another group of three world-class tenors known as Tenore.
Most Canadians have not heard of Tenore yet but, like the Canadian Tenors, their music will soon be enjoyed around the world.
I heard Tenore sing last Saturday night in Ottawa. Their rendition of The Lord's Prayer was the best I have ever heard and it brought people to tears. It was absolutely incredible.
One of the Tenores is Shane Wiebe from Canadian Idol.
Wow, those men can SING!.
Yesterday, Tenore thrilled those attending Canada's National Prayer Breakfast. They sing again tonight in Toronto and then head west to continue their Canadian tour in beautiful British Columbia.
I encourage everyone to check out and enjoy the inspiring music of Tenore. It sounds Italian. It is Tenor plus an "e".
Leonard BraithwaiteStatements By Members

Michael Chong Conservative Wellington—Halton Hills, ON
Mr. Speaker, just over a month ago, Canada lost a great patriot. Mr. Leonard Braithwaite, Canada's first black parliamentarian, died at 88 years of age.
First elected to the Ontario legislature in 1963, Mr. Braithwaite pushed to end the segregation of black children in Ontario schools, which then education minister, Bill Davis, acted upon. Later he became the first black bencher of the Law Society of Upper Canada and was appointed both to the Order of Ontario and the Order of Canada.
Born to West Indian parents and raised in Toronto, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1943 serving with No. 6 Bomber Command in Yorkshire, England during World War II. After the war, he returned to Canada and graduated from the University of Toronto, Harvard Business School and Osgoode Hall Law School.
Mr. Braithwaite was a great Canadian who blazed a trail for future generations. He leaves behind a remarkable legacy for his home province and for Canada.

Jean Crowder NDP Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, I pay tribute to Mary Simon, president of ITK.
Mary addressed key issues that affect Inuit, such as youth suicide, violence against women, obesity, diabetes, TB rates, housing conditions and the Inuits' struggle to maintain their traditions and language.
Mary held several leadership positions, including president of the Northern Quebec Inuit Association, president of the Inuit Circumpolar Council, Canada's ambassador for circumpolar affairs and chair of the Arctic Council. She headed the Makivik Corporation responsible for implementing the James Bay and northern Quebec agreement, and was policy co-director of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples.
She was one of the Inuit negotiators during the constitutional discussions that led to the recognition of aboriginal rights in the Constitution Act of 1982.
Mary Simon has been an environmental advocate for "The Right to be Cold" campaign that highlights the rapidly changing ecology of the Arctic. This campaign calls for the protection of the environment and the Inuit way of life.
I thank Mary Simon for the remarkable work she has done over the past 40 years. She has devoted her life to achieving social justice for Inuit.
May she enjoy a well-deserved break. She will be missed.

Ted Opitz Conservative Etobicoke Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, a year ago today Canadians endorsed our government with a majority. We were given a strong mandate to secure Canadians' prosperity. Only the Conservative Party put forward a serious, workable plan, one now seen in economic action plan 2012. Canadians understood that and sent our government back to Ottawa in greater numbers to turn those promises into a new Canadian reality.
We remain focused on jobs, growth and long-term prosperity for Canadian families. Economic action plan 2012 keeps taxes low, cuts direct program expenses and carries us toward a balanced budget. Canada's economic performance vindicates our approach. Our low tax, low debt plan for jobs, growth and long-term prosperity is working. Since the depths of the recession nearly 700,000 jobs have been created. More Canadians are working now than ever before. Our Conservative government made a promise to Canadians to ensure their prosperity. We kept that promise and we will continue to do so.
International Day of the MidwifeStatements By Members

Peggy Nash NDP Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, May 5 communities across Canada and throughout the world will celebrate the International Day of the Midwife. I rise in the House today to acknowledge the role midwives play as key partners in efforts to tackle maternal, newborn and infant mortality, worldwide and here at home.
Canada and the world need midwives now more than ever. They provide close-to-home primary care during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. Midwives provide a safe, effective and low-cost solution to the challenges still faced by women in rural, remote and particularly aboriginal communities across Canada.
In the lead up to the International Day of the Midwife, I join women and their families in recognizing the contributions of midwives to building healthy communities and celebrate the potential to build on this success for all women across Canada.

Rick Norlock Conservative Northumberland—Quinte West, ON
Mr. Speaker, one year ago today Canadians gave our Conservative government a strong mandate to focus on what matters most to them: jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity. An important part of this focus is our plan for responsible resource development which has benefits right across this country.
For example, in my riding of Northumberland—Quinte West one of the largest private sector employers is Cameco which refines uranium mined in Saskatchewan. Our plan will ensure a streamlined and timely regulatory process for major resource projects, including projects at the Cameco facility in Port Hope. Responsible resource development will bring billions of dollars in new investment to Canada and create enormous potential for job growth in all regions of this country. Our plan for responsible resource development will ensure major resource projects continue to create good, skilled, well-paying jobs for Canadians while at the same time protecting the environment.
That is why my constituents and Canadians from all regions are behind our plan.

Mr. Speaker, Aung San Suu Kyi fought tirelessly for over two decades in the name of freedom, peace, democracy and human rights for the people of Burma.
Even now, as a member of Parliament, she is working to make Burma a better country. In these times of change, the people, their elected representatives and their government must support democratic co-operation.
I know that our government and all Canadians are ready to support the Burmese people who are working to build a peaceful, democratic society.

Mr. Speaker, a year ago today, Canadians changed the face of Canadian politics forever. Of course there was the NDP's unprecedented rise to official opposition status, but there was also a change in mentality that was even more impressive.
Millions of Canadians decided to turn their backs on cynicism and the old way of doing politics. They did what they needed to do to make their voices heard. They said yes to hope and optimism.
A year ago today, millions of new voices flooded into the political landscape, voices that will resonate for decades to come, voices that are younger and more representative of the diversity of our regions, our cities, our provinces and our country.
I wish everyone a happy anniversary. Just three years to go before we replace this tired government.

Pierre Poilievre Conservative Nepean—Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, S&P has now downgraded government debt for nine euro currency countries. Greek and Portuguese debt is now rated at junk status. Even the EU bailout fund has been downgraded. Soon the bailout fund will need a bailout.
Yet amazingly the NDP leader said on Monday that the EU countries are not borrowing and spending enough. It shows that here at home the NDP would bury us in taxes, smother us in debt and, in the spirit of egalitarianism, evenly redistribute misery to all.
The Conservatives choose the Canada way, a low tax, low debt, pro-trade plan for jobs and growth.
The NDP leader should listen to Tommy Douglas who said, "The trouble with socialists is that they let their bleeding hearts go to their bloody heads."

Mr. Speaker, after one year in power, the Conservatives' record shows that their friends and powerful people take priority over everyone else, even though they campaigned on a promise of accountability.
Their latest exploit? Thousands of people follow the rules and wait their turn to be allowed into Canada, yet the Conservative government gave preferential treatment to Conrad Black, a British criminal rotting in an American jail. This is an important matter that the Prime Minister must take seriously.
Why do the friends of those in power not have to follow the same rules as everyone else?

Stephen Harper ConservativePrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the minister has made it clear that this decision was made by departmental officials in accordance with the law.
The leader of the NDP yesterday and again today is suggesting that public servants are taking decisions in these matters that are biased, prejudiced and even racist. He is making these intemperate allegations without any evidence whatsoever. It is entirely inappropriate.
Public servants administer the law, and we respect the law.

Thomas Mulcair NDPLeader of the Opposition
Just so, Mr. Speaker. The very foundation of our society is the rule of law, that all of us are equal under the law. Conrad Black is a British citizen. He is still in a U.S. jail. He was convicted of serious crimes in the United States. Why is he being given special treatment?
The fact of the matter is that no one else has ever been in the situation of being still in jail, having his dossier marched around all the offices of the minister, and getting his approval before even getting out of the slammer. The only exceptional circumstance in this case is he is a friend of the Conservatives.
Why is the Prime Minister affording special treatment to his insider friends? Why is he not tough on crime when it comes to his Conservative cronies?

Stephen Harper ConservativePrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, once again aspersions are being cast on public servants without any evidence. The leader of the NDP owes them an apology. There has been no involvement of anyone on the political side of government in this. It would be just as easy for us if Mr. Black were not allowed to come to Canada, but that is not the judgment of those who administer the law.
If the leader of the NDP is suggesting the law should be changed, I would be delighted to see what those changes would be. We on the government side have to administer, and have to let our public servants administer, the law as it is and not apply political criteria to admissibility or non-admissibility.

Mr. Speaker, this matter is symptomatic of a government that is burnt out and tired. Their golden rule is friends first. A $16 glass of orange juice, an army helicopter used as a personal taxi to go fishing, partisan appointments—it is one scandal after another, just like in the good old Mulroney days. The Conservatives have been caught with both hands in the cookie jar.
Most recently, they have wasted $600,000 on overtime for their limousines. At a time when they are cutting services, when they are telling everyone else to tighten their belts, they cannot even manage their own limousines.
When will the government members finally realize that the party is over?

Stephen Harper ConservativePrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the reality is that our government was re-elected because the Canadian economy is the envy of the world. That was true last year and it is true now more than ever. There is no doubt that our economy is performing so well thanks to the hard work of our ministers, who are protecting the interests of hard-working, law-abiding Canadian families. Our government will continue to do so.

Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, the life of Conservative cabinet ministers. They get to live like royalty and they only ever have to apologize once they have been caught.
What is with this predilection for limousines? The government is cutting border services and food inspection. It is shortchanging seniors. But cabinet ministers are not cutting back on limousines. Over $600,000 in standby in just one year.
How do the Conservatives have the nerve to tell Canadians that the cupboard is bare while ministers on the front benches are stuffing themselves on perks and entitlements?

Suspended from the ceiling of Luigi Prina's studio is a gorgeous alternate history of flight. He builds delicate vessels from balsa wood, paper, and elastic bands, that are light enough to sail through the air.
Prina worked as an architect for 50 years, but always had an interest in aircraft, having built model ships since he was a boy. Over the last 20 years, he has constructed some 200 ships, their propellers armed with special rubber bands he imports from Japan. The tiny ships each weigh no more than two ounces, allowing them to stay aloft.
You can see photographs of some of the ships on Prina's website, but I recommend heading over to Blinking City, which has some truly lovely photographs of Prina's ships and studio and more details about how he brings these creations to life.

First ingredient is a named meat product
Some low quality ingredients, fat of unidentifiable origin, controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product, in meal form. There is a further meat meal ingredient 7th on the ingredient list. This is too far down to make any significant contribution to the overall meat content of the food. We note this ingredient is fish meal, but find no sign on the manufacturers website of a guarantee that they use only ethoxyquin-free protein sources (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish ingredients and that is banned or heavily regulated in human food due to the belief that it is carcinogenic). Chicken, the 6th ingredient, is inclusive of water content. Once this is removed, as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredeitn will weigh about 20% of its wet weight. Since ingredients are listed in order of weight, it is likely that this ingredient is not truely the 6th ingredient but would be more accurately placed much further down the list and makes up a very small portion of the food.
The main grain in the food rice flour. Rice flour is a grain fragment that we consider to be primarily filler. Brewers rice, further down the ingredient list, is another byproduct. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product in the food. Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. Tomato pomace is further filler.
There are no fruits/vegetables in the food. We note that this product includes synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality dog food products.

Wilmer likes them troubled?
When Lindsay Lohan was 17, she was dating Wilmer Valderrama and living at the Chateau Marmont. They broke up, she stopped eating, starting cranking, and, well, you know the rest.
Now Page Six is reporting that Wilmer and Demi Lovato were dating just before she entered rehab last week. Apparently they hooked up immediately after her split from the Middle Jonas Vagina Virgin last May and was particularly attached to him, telling everyone he was her boyfriend. His people, not surprisingly, are denying there was a relationship.
So... he has a type? Wilmer also at one point was attached to Ashlee Simpson, and there was a brief something with Jennifer Love Hewitt who doesn't count as "troubled" I suppose, in the conventional sense of the word, but there are degrees to child stardom f-ckedupness, and she resides on the minor end, not entirely out of the category altogether.
There's a Disney connection here too. Wilmer voices some kind of kids' show called Handy Manny on television so I guess you could say, if he really was getting down with Demi, that that's where he's been mining his girlfriends from. I suppose that's a fertile breeding ground.
This is Wilmer being interviewed on Extra recently.
Really? Him? I've never.

...and blood too..
I wrote about being injury prone last year, but this one takes the cake...
I was out mountain biking with a friend from work earlier today. We were having a pretty good go of it - my co-worker is a much better rider than me when it comes to the more hairy stuff, but I thought I was holding my own. Then came the pain. I was going down this steep portion of a trail - and there was a dropoff - not sure why, but I thought to go for it, but I dropped my front wheel too low. Ouch. I flew off the bike and headed face first for a big rock. Its funny how much time you seem to have to think about what you've done when you are flying at high speed toward a hard object. Anyway, I hit the rock with my mouth/nose area. I did not black out, but all I could think was 'Crap! My teeth!' There was blood everywhere. At first I thought I had busted my nose as well, but I soon determined that it was ok. I was trying to call to the other guy while holding my face, but the blood was kind of muffling the sound I think. Ugh.
Anyway, we managed to find our way out of the woods we were riding in (we had been a little confused as to our whereabouts) and found we were quite a distance from our truck. On the slow ride back to where we started, I am guessing more than a few people got quite an eyeful with me, the bloody mess, rolling down the highway.
So if you thought you had a bad day, who knows, maybe this will make you think things went not too bad at all??
edit:: I called my wife at work and told her what happened, and now I am using my psychic powers to predict that I will not be going trail riding again for a while...
edit 2:: My upper lip is so fat now.

The man who recently won an almost $400 million Powerball jackpot has come forward, but don't expect to learn the newly minted South Carolina millionaire's name. He is remaining anonymous, lottery officials said.
The unidentified Columbia, S.C.-area resident presented the winning ticket to state officials Monday afternoon, they said, and declined to be identified.
He said this was only the second time he had ever played the lottery. He was home alone Thursday when he checked his Powerball ticket and turned around and around in his kitchen, telling only his dog that he had won.
U.S. & World
The winner told officials he had stopped for gas at the Murphy Express station in Lexington, S.C., the day of the Powerball jackpot drawing because his wife had asked him to pick up hot dog buns. He bought $20 worth of Powerball tickets — but no hot dog buns, because the store did not sell them.
The man won the jackpot with the winning numbers of 7, 10, 22, 32, 35 and a Powerball number of 19.
Just as he collects more than $399 million, the Murphy station that sold him the tickets will get a $50,000 bonus.

A long list of accolades is connected to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's career.
On Sunday, he became the all-time passing leader in the postseason with 5,949 yards, surpassing Brett Favre.
But it was 4 yards in the fourth quarter of Sunday's AFC championship game against the Ravens that the Patriots needed most and didn't get.
Facing fourth-and-4 at the Ravens' 19-yard line, Brady lofted a pass to the end zone that landed short of wide receiver Deion Branch's grasp. The Ravens rushed off the field celebrating as Brady sat on the turf with the Ravens holding a 28-13 lead with 8:35 left.
The Ravens went on to complete a second-half shutout of Brady and the Patriots for a 28-13 victory and their first Super Bowl trip since 2001.
"I felt like we had a pretty good rhythm throughout the game," Ravens outside linebacker Paul Kruger said. "They were doing the hurry-up offense. As soon as we started getting good stops on first and second down, that allowed us to get a decent pass rush. It was a pretty basic game. We ran a four-man rush every time. That's a really good offense we just played, so I couldn't be more proud of our guys."
Players insisted that nothing changed between the first and second half from a defensive perspective for the Ravens. But they were able to stump Brady and the Patriots' high-scoring offense, which finished the game 1-for-4 in the red zone.
The changes might have been minimal, but the Ravens' defense looked more confident in the final 30 minutes.
In the first half, Ravens cornerback Cary Williams found himself twisting and turning to keep pace with Patriots receivers. But in the fourth quarter, Williams intercepted Brady's last attempt to launch a comeback, snagging the pass in the end zone with 1:13 to go. Dannell Ellerbe had the other interception for the Ravens in the second half.
"I don't think there was a difference," Williams said. "We just continued to play our game and we wanted it more."
Added Kruger: "Defensively, there wasn't much of a change. Offensively, you guys saw what they did. Joe [Flacco] came up and played great and made the plays. Anquan [Boldin] played awesome. It was a lot of great individual efforts, but it was a total team effort, for sure."
Brady completed 29 of 54 passes for 320 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. For the first time since Week 2 in 2009 (a 16-9 loss to the New York Jets), the Patriots' offense was held to fewer than 14 points.
"I'd have to see the film, but whatever we did, we didn't execute very well," Brady said. "The name of the game is execution, and if you don't execute well against a good team, like I said, you're not going to come up on the winning end."
While Brady answered questions about the loss, the Ravens celebrated a Super Bowl berth.
"They said, 'Be yourself,' " Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "We played together, we stayed together. We have a lot of leaders in this locker room — Ed Reed, [Ray Lewis], Joe [Flacco], Anquan Boldin. We said, 'Believe in ourselves,' and we did that."
