A MESSAGE FROM SCOTT MASTERSON, ZACHARY BUILDING OFFICIAL
Many homeowners aim to save money by hiring an unlicensed contractor. However, hiring unlicensed contractors is illegal. Making sure you hire an appropriately licensed, insured and bonded contractor may seem like extra work, but it all adds up to helping ensure that you and your interests are protected, and gives you more assurance that you're working with reliable, reputable professionals.
For instance, if your unlicensed contractor breaks a sewer line, you're responsible. If a worker gets hurt and can't work for two years, and there's no workers compensation coverage in place, you are on the hook for that workers' medical bills and lost wages.
Before you hire a building contractor, Scott Masterson, Zachary Building Official encourages you to contact the City of Zachary Inspections Division at 654-6873 to be sure the contractor is licensed and bonded to perform work in the City of Zachary.
Just as a reminder, you will need a residential permit if you are building a fence, accessory building, swimming pool, installing a generator or building your dream outdoor kitchen. The following building procedures do not require a building permit: decks, aluminum patio covers, above ground swimming pools, pre-fab building and new roofs. It is recommended that before you remodel or decide to build, get approval from your individual homeowner's association.

You've all heard the horror stories.
You can't tell me that you haven't heard horror stories of high maintenance bridal parties. When you think about it, they are probably just as common as the bridezilla stories. To be honest, they almost make me cringe just thinking about them. Your bridesmaids might not even be high maintenance or hard to deal with. (Good for you, girl!) But, you have to admit it's hard to get upwards of 12 women together without one of them giving an opinion. (Especially when it comes to how they look and if they may be pitching in money for it!) Unfortunately brides before you have not been so lucky, and their best gals soon forget who the day is actually about.
I'm a believer of a lot of things in life. One of those things is that they should serve wine to brides at dress shops as their bridal party piles into dressing rooms to try on literally every single dress on the rack. I'm telling you, I've been there as a bride and a bridesmaid. (As a bridesmaid I even thought I needed a drink!) Like I mentioned in one of my older blog posts, going bridesmaids dress shopping is one of those times where wine will get you through wedding planning. Lucky for you, I've got some tips for you to make it a little more bearable, easier on you, and a lot more exciting!
Wine is still optional but preferred. So grab your day drinking glass, pour some Merlot, and let's get real.
I get it, no one likes homework. It's the reason students are most excited to graduate college and get into the real world. But, if you want to get through shopping for bridesmaids dresses without crawling into the corner, spooning wine out of your Halo Top ice cream, and regretting the friends you have, there's some things that need to be done. Just like homework prepared you for your classes, there's homework with wedding planning that will help you stay organized, efficient, and sober.
I can't stress the importance of making an appointment. Especially if you are dead set on bringing your entire crew, you need to contact the dress stores ahead of time and make an appointment. In actuality, some dress stores only operate on a by-appointment basis. Let them know how many of you are coming so that they can better prepare for your time there by reserving dressing rooms, having staff available to your group, and possibly even pulling things off the rack for you ahead of time.
This is one of those times when you can whip up that secret wedding Pinterest board of yours and scroll through the pins. What do you love about dresses that you see in bridal party photos? What do you hate? Are you going to have them all matching? Do some colors look more appealing to you than others? Do you want them in a darker color to make you pop in your white gown? How does it fit into your wedding's color palette?
Before you go to your appointment, it's also important to look at their website to see what the store has to offer. Often times, appointments are booked for only an hour. That may not be a lot of time if you bring all 12 bridesmaids and unleash them in a store. Soon you'll be comparing 12 different dress styles, colors, and opinions. Getting an idea in your head ahead of time of what you want to see your girls try on can maximize your time in the store and control the chaos. From there you'll be able to branch out and compare to other styles you decide to try on in the store.
Like I mentioned, I've been there as a bride and a bridesmaid. But when it comes to bridesmaids arguing over the style or color of the dress to be worn because Susie doesn't think she looks good in strapless and Tiffany hates periwinkle, to be honest, I don't think the bridal party should be making the decision anyways. Call me what you want, but I am a firm believer that it is the bride's day. Hence, it's about what she wants. (And the reader said AMEN!) When it's their turn to have arguing bridesmaids they regret already by that shopping trip, they'll wish they would have just made the decision rather than releasing the hounds and watching a blood bath. I can guarantee that Susie isn't going to care if you don't like strapless gowns when it comes time for her wedding. That's just not how it works.
My advice is to know what styles and colors you love, and make some boundaries ahead of time. If you're worried about making the boundaries, have your maid of honor relay them to the rest of the girls. While it may not always be necessary, it's sometimes best to put those expectations out there ahead of time. Tell them you understand, accept, and respect their opinions, but it is about what you have visioned for your wedding. As long as you're not one of those brides who chooses an obnoxious pattern, bow, or puffy sleeve, they should understand. Don't be afraid to hurt feelings, they'll have their turn.
Spoiler Alert: They'll get over it.
You don't have to take your whole bridal party.
You could be a bride in college with your bridesmaids at different universities across the country. You're may be all professionals or out of school living life wherever the job market or marriage took you. But, chances are, your bridal party is not all located in the same place. If this is the case for you like so many other brides, you don't have to stress about getting your entire bridal party together to try on dresses.
For my own wedding, this was the case with my bridesmaids spread across the country. With everyone's lives, it was impossible to get all of us together in the same room at one time other than my wedding day. As disappointing as it was when it came to showers and tasks like dress shopping, I understood. Instead, I went bridesmaids dress shopping with my mom, my maid of honor, and two of my bridesmaids who happened to be in town at the same time. It worked out perfectly, and it was definitely a lot less overwhelming. If your dress store is somewhat a national chain, you can put your dress pick in the system whenever you decide and have your girls get measured and order their dress at their own convenience at a store near them.
Don't let them loose. Have a system.
As someone who is a little type A, I had a system when it came to bridesmaids dress shopping with my girls. I don't think it was over the top, but it was one that allowed me to visualize and stay organized. My bridal party consisted of a range of body types, and I wanted to choose a dress that flattered them all. However, that's really hard to visualize when everyone is trying on different styles at different times.
I ending up having my girls try on the same style dress in their size at the same time. They would then come out and stand together in the mirror. Not only did it allow me to see a variety of color options against skin tones at the same time. But, it also allowed me to see how that particular dress style looked across different body types. Surprisingly enough, it helped me narrow down a lot of options!
Whenever I go shopping for clothes, my momma taught me a trick for finding out how much you love an item. You take a picture of yourself in the dressing room! It's no secret that something you wear may look flattering in the mirror but not when you're photographed in it. Not to mention, doesn't the camera tend to add 10 pounds? Hence why, to this day, I always take a picture of myself when I try something on in the dressing room.
I transfer this advice to bridesmaids dress shopping for two reasons. One, for what I mentioned above. Everything looks different in photos. Not to mention, some shades of color don't translate well into photos. They look dull, make your skin hue look weird, or completely lose their appeal. I had my bridesmaids try on several colors that didn't translate well into a photograph. Taking photos will help you have a peek of what the dresses will photograph like on your big day.
Secondly, it actually allows you to remember what the dress looked like. Especially when you've been shopping all day and looking at hundreds of dresses, they all blend together after a while. Lining up your girls in the same dress (like we talked about above!) and taking a photo will allow you to create a mini look book for you to look back on later. I promise it'll save you trips back to the store and frustration for trying to remember each dress you looked at.
So many great tips. Here's one I learned: You absolutely 100% need a good seamstress and be on the look out for one way in advance! I almost couldn't find someone to get my dress altered in time for my sister's wedding. Yikes! Thankfully I found one who could turn it around in a few days. I got lucky.
YES! This is so important. That is definitely a detail that many bridesmaids don't think about.
Great ideas for that stressful time! Having a system to get the important decisions made makes all the difference!
Thank you, Lori! I definitely think planning a wedding is definitely only as stressful as you make it. There are ways to organize the chaos and make it so much better!
Great tips! I'm in the process of narrowing them down!
Thank you, Lisa! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the post. You go girl! 🙂 Best wishes for your special day!
Great tips!! I'll have to remember this because I am a bridesmaid for the first time next year.
Thanks, Ayanna! How exciting! 🙂 You should check out bridesmaidsconfession.com for even more tips on being the best bridesmaid for your bride-to-be bestie.
Those dresses are beautiful! And you have such great tips!
Thanks, Jordyn! Those are actually my bridesmaids from my own wedding. Don't they look darling! 🙂 P.S. They are from David's Bridal!
Thanks for the great tips Cathy! This is perfect timing as I need to figure out bridesmaid dresses in the next month. Two of my bridesmaids are states away, so I'm trying to figure out how best to inclulde them.

A: you can do it in 2 different ways.

*

*maintain the entire data month-wise as separate data sets. append them to make an entire year data. when user selects any month in the dropdown then update the series data or re-render the chart

*you can use setExtremes() method for xAxis depending on the month selected in the drop down.
if user selects june set xAxis extremes from 1st Jun to 30th Jun.
Hope this will help you

In a fitting end to the season, the Autumn Classic event headed back to the birthplace of the ever popular Gorrick series, Crowthorne Woods. Here a mere 17 years ago an idea was born to provide quality events for off-road riders of all abilities and ages, and they're still going strong!
Despite, as our Scottish brethren would say, "driech" condition, where it was neither wet nor dry, just moist under grey skies, the second of the Autumn Classics attracted nearly 500 riders from far and wide. It was brilliant to see not only plenty of Gorrick 'regulars' but also masses of 'newbie's' keen to take part in some fun mountain biking with plenty of likeminded others.
With plenty of rain falling in the preceding days you'd have not been too wrong to assume the worst and prepare for a muddy slog. However such is the magic of Gorrick events (aided and abetted by the local geographical conditions of course…) the going round the 4.5 mile course was in truth actually good to firm, with only a couple of moist patches and a few deep puddles to prove it had in fact rained at all in the area recently!
Crowthorne is always a popular venue, combining some short sharp uphill efforts with masses of fast flowing singletrack, loads of fun technical sections such as the fabled 'Corkscrew' to keep riders on their toes, providing masses of grin inducing riding. The real sting in the tail has to be the cruel short uphill start, guaranteed to get your blood flowing in a short space of time before you plunge headfirst onto a fast fire road descent, giving you the chance to catch your breath before cruising into the first of many smooth singletrack sections.
The Gorrick crew like to finish as they start providing yet another sting, bringing you tantalisingly close to the finish line before diverting you out for a quick hard burst, before allowing you to plunge back into sight, where you have to tackle a flurry of tight loose corners, before heading off to do it all again.
Once more it was the youngsters who had the pleasure of tackling the course first and again it was brilliant to see so many young eager faces, with plenty of girls mixed in too all keen to get into the thick of the action. Martin Turton made short work once again of his Youth race taking a comfortable win ahead of Ben Hawker. While Juvenile Joe Broadhead repeated his winning style once again coming home in top spot. Gretel Warner held off rival Sveva Marais to take the win in the Juvenile female race. Loads more riders braved conditions and an early start to tackle one lap in the Beginner's race with Anthony Ward completing his lap in just under 29 mins to take the win.
Next up were the super cats of Masters and Vets, along with standard Masters and soon the trails were awash with a fresh intake of eager riders, cutting a dash through the high swathes of bracken lining the trails. Despite a worthy challenge by Mark Hutt, Scott Forbes resplendent in his National Champion jersey made short work of his four laps taking the win, building up enough of a gap to stop and have a quick chat with the author [that's Joolze of course], before hot footing it to the finish! In the Super Vets, eventual winner John Smith had a slightly harder battle on his hands, as rivals Lewis King and Daran Blackwell were determined to scoop the victory for themselves. Just 59 seconds separated the three in the end, with Smith taking gold ahead of King.
New for this year was the addition of the Senior Vet category (aged 60+) to give the younger Grand Vet's a chance, but proving age is just a number as both categories were well supported and keenly fought over. Ian Petherbridge had a tense battle with Clive Ely in the Grand Vet's. Over their three laps just a hairs breath separated them and Petherbridge emerged victorious just 13 secs ahead of Ely. In the Senior Vet's Denis Boltwood had a slightly easier but no less hard fight on his hands taking the win with a more comfy margin of 85 secs from runner up Andy Smith. Cutting a lovely if not lonely path was solo Grand Vet lady Viv Hazelton who despite the lack of competition still rode at 100% taking on the youngsters in the women's Vet race, where she would have finished second behind winner Jacqueline Easton.
A much stronger field of women popped up in the Open race with 12 ladies battling it out for the top spot. That honour over two fast laps went to Kathy Beresford with Pippa Alford and Cathy Thomas in hot pursuit taking the runners up spots less than two minutes later. In the popular Open men's race Ed Rose headed the 90 strong field to take the win, while team mate Natasha Barry took another win for Progression Fitness in the Sport women's race.
Nearly 100 riders decided today would be 'Fun' as they lined up in said category to take on the two laps. Phil Wellard had the best start and managed to keep his lead despite a strong challenge by Duncan Coutts and Justin Radford, a mere 29 seconds separated the three at the end. For the Expert riders, all eyes were on Jon Pybus and Gary Record, after the first Classic at Tunnel Hill where Record took the win.
Would we see Pybus pull out the guns or would Record manage to pick up a clean sweep. Over five long laps it was clear that Pybus was smarting after his defeat at the last race and was keen not to repeat that outcome, putting down the hammer early on to open up as big a gap as he could. Record did what he could to respond but Pybus had the upper hand and took the win with a comfortable margin to mark his return to good form after a season out through injury.
It was another resounding success with even the sun and a glimmer of blue sky being spotted towards the end of the event. Fear not if you think you've missed out, the Gorrick Spring series will be upon us before you know it, with the first round of XC frolics taking place on the 17th January. If you don't want to wait that long for a competitive MTB fix, have a gander at the brand spanking new Merida Brass Monkeys Enduro Winter Series, the first one is just at the end of the November. Put together with our friends at the Army Cycling Union. Gorrick folk will be around to give a hand and expect everything and maybe a bit more of what you'd expect at a Gorrick.

Russians don't write biographies the way Americans write biographies, said Professor William Taubman, right, after receiving the Order of Friendship from Andrey K. Yushmanov, consul general of the Russian Federation in New York.
On a quiet Monday in June, word spread that William Taubman, the professor who won a Pulitzer for his biography of Nikita Khrushchev, would soon receive one of Russia's top civilian medals. Two days later, the Hon. Andrey K. Yushmanov, consul general of the Russian Federation in New York, traveled to Amherst to formally present Taubman with the medal, called the Order of Friendship.
Russian Federation President Dmitry Medvedev had decreed that the medal be awarded to Taubman—the Bertrand Snell Professor of Political Science—for "a great contribution to the development of cultural ties with the Russian Federation, including the preservation and popularization of Russian language and culture."
Taubman's wife, Jane, who is a professor of Russian at Amherst, and more than 50 of their friends and colleagues came to the ceremony in the Center for Russian Culture, an intimate, book-filled room in Webster Hall with an awe-inducing view of the Holyoke Range. After an introduction by Russian professor and center director Stanley Rabinowitz, Yushmanov praised Taubman for writing about events that "shaped the past and the present of Russia." Yushmanov presented the official medal and order, "written in Russian," he told Taubman, "but I'm sure it's not a problem for you."
Taubman approached the podium and told a few stories, including one about his grandfather who fled to the United States from Russia in 1905. Taubman has been to Russia and the former Soviet Union some 30 times to conduct research for various projects. His 2003 book, Khrushchev: The Man and His Era, won a National Book Critics Circle Award in addition to the Pulitzer. It sold out its first printing in Russia; a second edition has just been released.
"I am a political scientist who, in effect, ends up doing history in the form of biography," Taubman said at the ceremony, where he noted that Russians don't write biographies of this kind. "They are inclined," he said, "to think that the great moving forces of history are impersonal rather than personal."
Taubman is now at work on a biography of another Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev.

I was asked last week by someone registered with McGinnis Loy, our specialist HR & Finance recruitment business if there was somewhere they could find a directory of UK employers using Twitter, as they wanted to set up a new account to follow and track employers they were interested in working for.
I have not been able to find a directory as such, but there are various blogs out on the web which do list a number of employers with Job-related Twitter accounts that could be of interest to anyone currently job hunting. Another great resource to sign up to is TwitJobSearch which is a custom made job search engine for Twitter. It allows you to type in the specific role/job and location you are interested in, and it will give you the results of the most recent tweets relevant to those jobs in the geographical area you select.
Earlier in the year, I did write a number of articles about Twitter for the Graduate job market, with links to employers who had set up Twitter accounts and were recruiting graduates to fill a number of roles. The blog "60 UK Twitter Accounts for Graduates" does contain employers that could be of interest to professional job seekers too, so do take a look.
To give you a head start with other employers, I have compiled a list of 30 large companies here in the UK who have a specific recruitment/HR Twitter Account and they 'Tweet' their current jobs to their followers. As an example from the list below, if you are interested in working for Accenture, just copy the "@accentureukjobs" handle into your Twitter search field, and then you will see the timeline for everything Accenture has tweeted about that is job-related.
Whilst some employers are a lot more engaging and constantly use Twitter more than others, you will only need follow each company once for it to become effective for you. After that, all tweets will come directly into your timeline, and many employers will put a link on the Tweet which automatically takes you to the job vacancy. Many larger corporate's here in the UK have become more savvy in using Twitter as a platform to source job seekers over the past few years, and I am sure over time that more in the SME market will follow suit too.
If you come across any other companies that have a job-related Twitter account that is worth following, then please let me know so that I can add them to this list for everyone's benefit.

WMC 79
WMC is one of the few surviving radio stations in the U.S. to use its original call letters. The station's first broadcast was January 19, 1923. The transmitter and tower were on the top floor of the old Commercial Appeal building. Although Memphis was segregated, early programs featured late night concerts from blues singers. Bessie Smith performed at WMC in October of 1923. In 1927 WMC gave Memphis and the mid-south its first network programs when the station affiliated with NBC. In the 1930s, WMC was still owned by The Commercial Appeal and carried the NBC Radio Red Network. A transmitter building and tower were constructed on Highway 70. That tower is now gone, but the art-deco building is still there. In 1931, new studios were dedicated at the Hotel Gayoso. Comedian Milton Berle was master of ceremonies. WMC also broadcast a number of country and western artists from the old Goodwyn Institute Building. Weatherman Dave came to WMC in 1977 and stayed for 30 years. In 1973 WMC became the first 24 hour full-time country station in Memphis. By 1989 it switched to News/Talk. Today, it is the city's oldest radio station and presently programs a sports format. WMC spawned the TV station WMCT.

Australia's financial stability policy framework involves clear mandates for financial stability distributed across several agencies, with the Council of Financial Regulators (CFR) playing a central coordinating role. The prudential elements of that framework rest with APRA, with analytical support from the RBA. This document – originally prepared as background for the IMF FSAP team in early 2012 – sets out the tools and practices of these two agencies that are designed to support financial stability from a system-wide perspective. The Australian authorities view macroprudential policy as subsumed within the broader and more comprehensive financial stability policy framework.
The Australian framework for financial stability policy incorporates several features that have lent it flexibility and helped ensure its effectiveness. These include clear financial stability mandates for particular agencies; a structured inter-agency coordination process through the CFR; and a strong and cooperative relationship between the two agencies with explicit financial stability mandates. The Council's role includes the preparation of joint advice to the Government where action is needed that goes beyond the legislated powers of the constituent agencies.
In broad terms, APRA has responsibility for the setting of prudential standards and instruments and for supervision of institutions. The instruments available to the RBA in pursuing its financial stability objective include the use of its role as liquidity provider to the financial system and its regulatory powers in respect of the payments system, including oversight of clearing and settlement systems. The RBA also recognises that the setting of macroeconomic policies needs to be fully informed by financial stability developments, and financial stability assessments are regularly incorporated into the RBA reporting and decision-making processes (normally half-yearly).

Results of a 1962 mid-winter census of the American bald eagle,Haliaeetus leucocephalus, present in the greater Chesapeake Bay region are reported. Ground observations supplemented by some aerial coverage located 200 eagles of which 24 per cent were immature birds. Previous attempts to estimate eagle abundance through nest surveys in the region are reviewed. Though this census offers the most complete estimate of eagle abundance in this region at any one time, similar counts coupled with nesting success studies should be conducted on an annual basis for several years to fully understand the true status of this species in this area.


Much was made of this division's winner having the seventh-best record last year and getting the No. 3 seed, thus screwing over the poor Dallas Mavericks (despite the fact that they could have been No. 1 if they hadn't lost three of their last four games). Well, Cuban and a bunch of wannabe purists whined and the league adjusted to format a bit, but it was all for naught. Denver will deserve its seed this year, though the division overall will again be weak.
After Denver, the playoffs seem increasingly out of reach. Utah has a good frontline and some solid young guards, which under Jerry Sloan may be enough to make an impact. If Kevin Garnett and Randy Foye forge what he and Marbury should have had, the T-Wolves might be a possibility, though trade rumors could derail a potentially good thing before it gets chugging. Portland is on the right track, but still far away and Seattle is improved, but only because the players who have been replaced by rookies were awful.
Outlook: One problem child is gone, one more to go. Kenyon's contract may make him hard to deal, but Kiki will get it done. Carmelo Anthony is a motivated version of Glen Robinson, with whom Karl won 50 games in Milwaukee. His inside/outside presence along with Nene's return on the inside and Andre Miller at the controls should set the Nuggets up to be a fourth contender in the West. Boykins is a spark plug, J.R. Smith adds excitement and Joe Smith brings some veteran leadership.
Bottom line: The only thing other than multiple injuries that can kill this team is a fractured locker room, but Carmelo is the unquestioned superstar and should step up to lead his team through one or two rounds of the playoffs.
Outlook: Andre Kirilenko is a very good small forward, but without a consistent shot, I find it hard to rate him as highly as it seems vogue to do. However, he's at the top of the second-tier talent and part of a frontline with two other quality second-tier players, giving Jerry Sloan some real tools. Derek Fisher's Golden State experiment proved he is only a role player, but behind Deron Williams, he may just find that role again.
Bottom line: This is a quality collection of mid-level talent that will go as far as Deron Williams takes it. If he's playing well, it's off to the playoffs. If not, it's late lottery again.
Outlook: I wonder if Chris Wilcox is legit? He played well last year after what I thought at the time was a poor trade for both teams. However, the talented but inconsistent forward seemed to give the Sonics a true low block presence. Luke Ridnour is a solid point guard and though Ray Allen is toward the bottom of the list, he is still A-flight talent and capable of keeping games close.
Bottom line: The team dropped some dead weight players and replaced them with three rookies who might pan out. Bob Hill is not the answer for any NBA team, but this team could be a spoiler for playoff positions late.
Outlook: Kevin Garnett is perhaps the most complete player in the NBA, serving as his team's best scorer (in the low and high posts), best rebounder, best defender, best passer, and only leader. GM Kevin McHale, however, has never recovered from trying to pay Joe Smith under the table and has now provided his superstar with a promising young guard and another set of scrap heap players.
Bottom line: Can you blame KG if he isn't happy? This team was a contender, but not anymore. How many players will it take to add up to KG's pre-CBA contract?
Outlook: This team is trying so hard to lose the JailBlazers reputation of a few years ago and may be close. Zach Randolph is a legitimate low post presence and a great piece to build around. Management brought in the right coach and it looks good. However, this is still Portland and there are far too many strip clubs and far too easy access to drugs for the players to ignore. They've brought in some reputable veterans in Magliore and LaFrentz, who should defend Randolph's backside and Brandon Roy is expected to make his presence felt quickly.
Bottom line: Any conduct detrimental to the team should not be tolerated and if they behave, this is the rebuilding year and the playoffs might be a possibility down the road.

I know it's been over a month since I posted a new blog but I had to write something about an article I just read in one of my Orthopedic journals talking about the trends of bone graft and what we can expect in the future.
Let's face it, as medicine continues to conduct research and we find out more and more about the human body and it's properties, there's a fascination for trying to mimic or imitate what Mother Nature has given us.
Take for instance in our discussion of bone and bone properties. Bone is very dynamic – meaning constantly building and constantly breaking down. In simple terms, the rate and quality of bone being deposited is largely effected by a number of different factors – these include nutrition status, baseline bone integrity, co-morbid conditions or more simply – underlying medical issues, just to name a few. All of these variables are put together and this in turn determines how your bone scaffolding will be put down during a fracture, broken bone, or iatrogenic trauma.
There are 3 main types of bone graft. The first and gold standard (always will be the gold standard) is Autograft Bone – "Auto – meaning your own" bone. There are multiple different areas to get your own bone from including your pelvis(iliac crest), leg (proximal tibia) and other areas too like your rib or your spine.
Autograft can be taken from a number of different areas called "Harvesting" and can be transferred from the same area of the body to another part of the body. This graft contains your own body's proteins, antibodies, and other properties that help to minimize the risk of rejection and can provide a solid ridge of bone especially in spine fusions.
It contains osteophytes or bone-growing cells and proteins to help develop new bone growth.
It provides a calcium scaffolding or matrix for new bone growth to grow on.
There are few risks associated with autograft and although they are rare, it is worth mentioning that they can sometimes occur. Mainly, surgical wound problems like infection and depending on the site of harvesting, nerve injury, and sometimes excessive bleeding from the site.
One complaint that I occasionally hear of is about pain at the bone graft harvest site. This is a subjective measurement of course and there are a certain number of surgical techniques that can used to minimize the amount of pain at the donor site. It has been estimated that up to 25% of patients will experience temporary discomfort at these sites although the actual number is likely a lot less than that.
Allograft is bone tissue that has been harvested from a cadaver. This is usually done by very strict regulations and monitoring to ensure the potential risk of disease transmission and in my opinion, lower fusion rates.
It should be noted that allograft bone does provide the calcium scaffolding needed for bone ingrowth but it lacks the bone-producing proteins and growth cells required for new bone growth stimulation.
This in turn theoretically leads to a lower chance of fusion compared to autograft but there are some studies that suggest that it is comparable to the gold standard of autograft.
This has been an area in spine surgery that is what we call a "hot topic" but it often leads to many unwanted side effects that do not work in favor of spinal fusion like we would hope. I will admit that there are some times where there it can be advantageous for a surgeon to use these substitutes but in my opinion, nothing is better than your own bone.
As you can tell, I am not a big fan of this category and often like to call this category "Silly Putty" as it is often made of synthetic or naturally-occuring products that have been manipulated to help mimic natural bone. These agents are usually very expensive and often imitate to a certain degree our own bone.
I only mention these substitutes to let you know that there are alternatives to autograft and allograft bone. I will not spend much time here on their discussion because these various agents can be discussed for hours sometimes days with often minimal advantages.
For more information, please feel free to send me a comment so that I can further provide you with the information you need.
Today – marks the first day of Kindergarten for my son. He's been looking forward to going to the "big school" and now that day has finally arrived. I and like most parents, have not been looking forward to this day – as it reminds us of days and milestones being passed….
As I was watching my son get on the school bus today, I couldn't help but notice the amount of children that had large backpacks, loaded to the gills, pulling them backwards, and thus altering their posture and gaits.
Have a Safe School Year!!
I was surfing the web for through some of my material and came across a video – PSA that the North American Spine Society (NASS) has compiled to further educate patients on proper back mechanics.
There is truth behind this video…enjoy!
While looking through my email, I came upon an article title "40 questions to ask your surgeon before you have spine surgery" and often get asked many of the same questions.
I encourage patients to ask and seek out as much information before any type of surgery whether it be spine surgery, joint replacement surgery, hand surgery, etc. so that they are aware of everything going on from start to finish.
A few times a week, I'm on the phone during office hours (and sometimes after-hours) working with insurance companies through pre-authorizations or peer-to-peer reviews advocating for the need and necessity for my patients as to why we need this test or this procedure.
Often, both my patients and myself get frustrated by the way insurance companies and "the system" work to approve or deny these much needed interventions.
Below is a good article from Medical Economics highlighting the process of prior authorizations with particular emphasis on the patient and physician side. Let me know what you think?
I just read an interesting article about a new coined term called "Digital Immigrants" and "Digital Natives". The article highlights many differences between the key date of 1985 with anyone born before 1985 being an "immigrant" and anyone after being a "native".
I like to think that I'm a digital savvy "digital immigrant" when it comes to devices. I do have a Facebook page, a twitter account, and a whole bunch of online accounts with every password under the sun. But what is most interesting to me is the speed at which the natives can speed along through the digital media catalogs without any thought. I don't know about you but after a little while of staring at the screen, my eyes begin to see spots. This is when I highly encourage paper articles, tangible objects, and newspapers.
There are some "core" principles that must be known whether its a generation from 50 years + to our most recent generations. One of my common examples has to do with The Beatles – I'll simply ask some of the people in the OR, "who were the 4 Beatles?" You would be surprised by the results that I get! Anesthesia usually waits to hear what the answers are and it usually sparks an entertaining discussion.
Since we are at the height of travel season during these hot summer months, I thought it would be a good reminder to think about your back during long car trips, especially if you suffer from chronic back pain or have had previous back surgery.
Below is a list of my Top Five Travel Tips for Your Back on Long Car Trips!
Let's start with simple things first. Before you even get in the car, make sure that you have adequate support from your car seat and/or sometimes the necessary lumbar supports or pillows that you usually use.
It is important to note that you should be comfortable enough for the long trips but also that you can SAFELY visualize all directions and operate all of the features your vehicle has to offer. This can be as simple as be able to adjust the pedals to the right height, appropriate seating posture i.e. sitting up straight, and also being able to simply reach the pedals without putting undue strain on your back where you could potentially introduce a back spasm rending your starting and stopping ability useless.
**Some cars are equipped with heated seats that you may traditionally think of using during the winter months, but they can also come in handy during the summer months too.
You would be surprised as to how often in the office as we're going through why things happened and what triggered your back pain, that I hear about people having things in the their back pockets i.e. wallets, cell phones, and the occasional sandwich (yes, it's true!) that caused the back pain.
With all joking aside, this can seriously alter your spine's alignment and when you add in your driving position for an extended period of time, your body will become accustomed to that position. Tilting one hip higher than the other can cause issues like this. As soon as you adjust, the back spasms and pains begin.
I highly recommend you avoid having anything in your pockets, both front and back, to avoid any back pain triggers that may occur.
Occasionally during my office visits, I'll hear someone telling me about their trip and that "I made it in such and such hours" from point A to point B. Although, I'm often surprised that someone can make a trip from New York to Los Angeles by car in 6 hours, that's usually not a good thing. Besides obviously speeding or I like to call "flying low", from a Spine Surgeon's perspective, this means that you broke a cardinal rule of NOT getting out to walk around and stretch every 1 to 2 hours.
Not only can getting out of the car and giving your back a rest from the long trip, but you can also sometimes discover new things. One of more iconic discoveries was a large blue whale on Route 66 during a cross country trip a few years back.
Stretching your back is very important on long car trips. I'm not talking about getting out and doing a full aerobic routine (but you can if you want to) but rather take a few minutes to stretch your back so that things remain limber. It is also usually good practice to stretch before your trip, during your trip, and after your trip.
Usually some variation of forward and side-to-side bending can usually "work the kinks out" of your back. This can make your trip much more enjoyable and comfortable while simultaneously keeping your back flexible to prevent those unexpected muscle spasms and pain.
Staying hydrated on the road is one of the most important things you can do your back as it will feed your muscles with the appropriate amount of fluids it requires. We often times (I'm guilty of this too) drink lots of coffee or tea during these excursions but the reality is, the caffeine content from these beverages although provide the stimulation we crave, also can accelerate the dehydration process during these trips.
Try to limit the amount of caffeinated beverages, especially carbonated beverages during these trips. Water is usually the best remedy for hydration and your body will love you for it!
Consider using these Five Travel Tips for Your Back on Car Trips can go a long way in making your trip much more enjoyable and memorable. Please be safe in your journeys!

The Orangeville Outlaws started the 2016 gridiron season with a huge win over the TNT Express on Sunday, May 22, in Beeton.
It didn't take long for the Outlaws to set the tone of the game.
After scoring the opening touchdown on a run by Lino DeVita, the Outlaws snagged an interception and returned the ball to the 20 to set up the next play. Devita got the second TD of the game.
Jeriah Valladares got the third O-ville TD before the quarter was over to give the Outlaws a 19-0 lead with three quarters still to go.
The Express took advantage of a good field position late in the quarter to kick a field goal and get on the scoreboard.
After pushing through to get a first down in the second quarter, Aiden Oliver broke through the pack and ran for 60 yards for another O-ville TD.
DeVita got his third of the game on run to the left when the Outlaws were positioned at the 20 yard line.
Going into the second half, Spencer Payne returned the kick-off to the 38 yard line.
A quick pass from Luc St. Germain put the Outlaws in scoring position.
The Express got their only TD of the game in third quarter when a player broke from the pack and sprinted for 70 yards to score.
The Outlaws managed to dominate the rest of the game and finished with an outstanding 50-10 win over the Express.
It was a good start for the Express JVs who have been in practice for several months beginning with their indoor training sessions before moving to outdoor practice at the Agricultural Centre.
All in all it was a good day for the Outlaws Club.
The other opening season game for the Club was the Bantam division who also were up against the Express for their first one of the season.
In that game, the Outlaws finished with a 65-18 win.
The Outlaws will have two road games before hosting the Camebridge Lions for thier opener at Westside Secondary School in Orangeville on Sunday, June 12.
The kick-off for that game is scheduled 3:00 p.m.

"I don't have anyone." He was immediately aware of how pathetic that must sound. "… from out of town," he added weakly.
"Yeah, thanks for nothing." Turning to leave, he noticed a sign on the wall: "Maximum of 5 people may accompany the client." He imagined it would be tough for someone with a large family, but he couldn't muster any sympathy.
Back on the sidewalk, the world moved around him as it had every other day. He wandered around for a bit, at a loss for where to go, what to do. His apartment had been rented. His phone was disconnected. There was no place for him anymore. Visiting a friend was out of the question. The announcement had already gone out, and anyone who had known him would only be unnerved by his presence. Only now did it occur to him that he should have asked for money for a hotel room. But he didn't want to back to the clinic again.
The walking dead. That's what he was. Still alive, but already dead as far as the world was concerned. Now he had to exist that way for three days.
Drinking at a bar was the only solution that presented itself. He made certain to find a place where he was unlikely to run into anyone from his life. Luckily, he hadn't completely emptied his back account. His will specified where the money should go, but it wouldn't be carried out until the back received the death certificate.
He was grateful that no one at the bar knew him, no one there had gotten the announcement. It wasn't much fun drinking alone, but it was better than scaring everyone in the place. So he sat, downing drink after drink, hoping to blackout for three days until his rescheduled appointment.
It took someone putting their hand on his arm to draw his attention away from his single-minded pursuit of alcohol-induced stupor. A woman had sat down next to him. She was staring at him, clearly expecting an answer to a question he hadn't heard.
He tugged his arm away from her hold. "Everything," he mumbled before turning back to the glass in front of him.
A vid screen behind the bar began showing a commercial for the clinic that had upended his day by giving him three more.
"Bastards!" he spat, swallowing another gulp.
"Because today was my day. And they changed my appointment. Now I have to wait around for three days." He hadn't meant to say it. But he was drunk, and she had gotten him angry. Now people around them would know that he was walking dead.
"Yeah." He took another drink and avoided looking at her.
"Uh huh." She finished her drink. "Well, good luck with that." Then she walked out of the bar.
Glad to be rid of her, he ordered another drink from the bartender. He hadn't had much of a life before today, but it was more than he had now. Now he just had three days of waiting to die. He hoped there was enough money in his account to cover the bar tab.
I find I take a lot of photos when the sky is grey, especially in winter. Otherwise, I try to take them during sunrise or sunset to get the softer light those afford. But it was a bright sunny day, so I decided to wander down by the Red River.
Because of flooding issues in the last four or five years, the city has bought out and removed homes along the river. These tree stumps used to be in somebody's back yard not too long ago.
The snow sparkles a lot underneath the street lamp.


Facepunch Studios released a brand new update for Rust this weekend, simply called "The Compound" which has added a few new mechanics to the game that is set to both improve what you can do and expand on ways to make people suffer. The biggest addition to the game is an area called The Compound in which several items are banned and you are able to converse and maybe do business with a couple of people through trades. If you break the rules, the game will punish you as a hostile player where you'll be shot on sight by Rust NPC's and turrets for a while. We have some of the details for you below, along with a video going over all of the new updates, which you can read about here.
If you break any of the above rules you will be marked as hostile and the scientists and their turrets will use lethal force against you. The hostile status persists across death in an attempt to prevent griefing.


People have been asking where his It Gets Better video is. Here it is.
Hey Dan Savage: You've created a Good Thing. Thanks.
It's a heartfelt, well-written, and sincerely delivered message. Let's try to divorce this effort from "the other issue" and talk about what a message like this from the president of the United States might mean to a young queer kid. And once again, let's thank Dan Savage for what is easily the most successful and widely-heard pro-gay campaign in the history of our movement.


There has been a lot of talk about net neutrality, and it is raising concerns in many different industries. The Internet is a viable resource and commodity for many businesses and general consumers.
In many ways, net neutrality comes down to basically being Internet censorship. In general, there are many that are against this. Of course, it includes a multitude of businesses as it could put many restrictions on them for the way that they do business on the web.
This is going to have a current trickle-down effect where it would affect designers. Most likely the neutrality would put plenty of restrictions on them which is going to impact their capabilities of creating the web design that is going to have the impact that it does now.
Neutrality could even restrict who the designers are able to take on as clients. Neutrality is going to include the revamping of rules and Internet regulations. Basically, if it were integrated to its fullest capacity, it could change the way of the Internet in its entirety. Doing so would create massive restrictions on designers who would then have to be compliant.

Das Gould Guggenheim Estate, auch als Hempstead House bezeichnet, ist ein historisches Anwesen, und umfasst 16 Gebäude, darunter ein ehemaliges Herrenhaus in Sands Point, Long Island im US-Bundesstaat New York.

Das schlossartige Haus, eine Kopie des irischen Kilkenny Castle, wurde von 1902 bis 1912 von Howard Gould erbaut und auch manchmal unter dem Namen "Castle Gould" erwähnt. 1917 wurde es von Daniel Guggenheim erworben. 1971 vermachte sein Sohn Harry F. Guggenheim den gesamten Besitz einschließlich seines Landsitzes "Falaise" dem Nassau County, der es der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich machte. Heute ist das Areal Teil des Naturschutzgebiets "Sands Point Preserve".

Yarn macrame, ohhh how I love thee. I was looking for a craft to do during nap time, and Lucy has needed a little somethin' somethin' over her crib for a while now, so I decided to put together this Yarn Macrame Crib Mobile DIY!
1. Start by removing the inner circle of the embroidery hoop (the one without the screw) and begin to double knot your yarn in the pattern and length of your choice. For reference, I tied five white yarn pieces, three light pink, three hot pink, one burgundy, and repeated until I covered the entire hoop!
2. When it was time for my second row of knots, I tied the two strands of yarn that were next to each other into a double knot about 1/2 inch below the previous knots. Keep tying these knots around the entire hoop until you make it back to where you started!
3. Continue this same process of tying the knots with each neighboring piece of yarn as far down as you would like, I think it would look awesome if the knots went all the way to the end of the yarn, but I wanted there to be some fringe for Lucy to look at.
5. I attached this hook to the ceiling (easiest. thing. EVER) and after I had it hung and as level as possible, I trimmed the ends to all be even-ish and wallah, you're done!
It's not perfect, but Lucy has loved looking at it today, so it's a success in my book! If you try this Yarn Macrame Crib Mobile DIY, I would love to see your photos:) You can tag me on Instagram or message them to me on Pinterest (Instagram: here & Pinterest: here). I hope you are having a great night! Xo.


Adesanya vs Silva will be the co-main event of UFC 234, with Middleweight champion Robert Whittaker putting his title on the line against Kelvin Gastelum in the main event. The Aussie champ was diagnosed with a hernia and will undergo surgery later in the day, according to White.
The loss of Whittaker, who is on a nine-fight win streak, will certainly be a massive disappointment for many fans with UFC 234 tickets. The first title defense was scheduled for UFC 225 but the match became a non-title fight after Romero missed weight.
Whittaker praised Gastelum as a challenger and even called him "one of the most unsafe fighters to date".

Kerosene and Steam Heated Stove
Name : Vyasji Mishra
District & State : Sidhi, Madhya Pradesh
Category : Utility
Award : Appreciation
Vyasji Mishra is 16 years old. He is an extremely talented student with a penchant for science. He developed a keen interest towards science and its various applications from his very early childhood and also has developed a number of products having a strong scientific basis. Besides he actively participates in various science competitions. He has also developed a model of a drip irrigation system, which got the first prize in a science exhibition in 2000.
He has displayed this stove in various science exhibitions. It also got coverage in the newspapers in February 2002. He was awarded the first prize for this innovation by the education Minister – Indrajit Kumar Patel at a Science exhibition held in 2003. With the attitude of a researcher, Vyasji is able to appreciate that his stove needs to be improved. He points out that as it uses water, after some time the burner becomes cold and stops and he talks of the need to think of some way in which it will work continuously on water without stopping unless switched off.
Mishra lives with his parents, his elder brother and a sister in Devsar, Madhya Pradesh. Presently he is studying in 11th Standard in Devsar. His father has done his B.A. and works as a clerk in the Devsar Tehsil Office. His elder brother Pawanji Mishra is a first year BCA student. The household income of his family is Rs.60000 per annum and comes solely from the income of his father. He admits the exigencies of reality: "I am a student, and my father is a clerk. Since our financial condition is weak I don't have most of the required equipment with me."
His elder brother Pawanji Mishra developed a model of a similar kind of stove for a science fair in 2001-2002, which was not successful. In 2002-2003, there was a science exhibition held in his school, Utkrishta Vidyalaya, Sidhi in which there was a section called 'Sources of Energy' and Vyasji wanted to take part. Both the brothers together created the stove by joining two kerosene stoves together and using three regulators – one for the kerosene, one for the water and a third for switching the burner on and off. While developing this stove the major problem he faced was the control of oil and water flow, but he was able to rectify this to some extent by using three regulators. This device took approximately six months to conceive and manufacture.
Vyasji's family gave him moral support throughout the course. He acknowledges that it is because of the constant encouragement and financial as well as technical support provided by his elder brother Pawanji, that he was ultimately able to successfully complete the innovation. Apart from them he didn't receive any monetary support.
This is a hybrid stove powered by kerosene and steam. The stove has been prepared by joining two conventional ones and has two tanks, one burner and three regulators. The two tanks are filled with kerosene and water respectively. Both the tanks are connected to the common burner. A pump is provided with each tank for creating air pressure therein. Pipes are secured to the burner for conveying kerosene and water to the burner assembly.
First the kerosene filled tank is primed and deployed to light the stove for some time and make the burner red hot. Then the regulator of the kerosene tank is closed. Immediately the regulator of the water cylinder is opened, the water gets heated to produce steam which can be utilized for its heating properties. When the flame becomes dim, the water tank is closed and the kerosene section is lighted again till the burner becomes hot and the process is repeated.
Using the stove, kerosene consumption was claimed to be saved substantially. Less smoke is produced and it is therefor friendlier to the environment. It would cost around Rs. 600 in the market. But one has to observe the following precautions: when the water regulator is opened, the kerosene regulator must be shut. When filling the tanks special care should be taken to see that there is no dirt. This innovation is of great benefit to especially the poor who are the major consumers of kerosene. It also gains significance in the light of the increasing fuel prices. There is also potential for future applications of this concept in glass and toy factories, laboratories and small-scale establishments. However, much more research remains to be done. Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun had reservations about this concept but IIT Guwahati tried to optimize the working of the stove and found that it could save only about 20 per cent kerosene with proper calibration. NIF in coordination with the GIANs has sanctioned an amount of Rs. 37, 250 from its Micro Venture Innovation Fund for prototype development for market research of the water- kerosene stove and three other innovations.
There is no such stove in the market, which uses the same principle. The only similar concept is the steam operated stove of Rajiv Agarwal. But on comparison it was found that both work on different principles. In the stove developed by Rajiv Agarwal, steam and air are used as a catalyst to enhance the heating process and steam and air are passed through red-hot carbon (heater burner) to form both water -and producer gas.

Filmed in the director's Brooklyn apartment and with his own cat, Sebastián Silva's Nasty Baby is the honest tale of New York gay couple Freddy and Mo (Sebastián Silva and Tunde Adebimpe) trying for a baby with thirty-something Polly (Kristen Wiig). Like his metatextual art project 'Nasty Baby', with Freddy's friends banishing their ego by embarrassing themselves as babies, it's Silva's universe recreated on film, and there are some beautifully realistic moments, recreating the dynamics of a gay couple, their bikes, the uncertain sideways looks sometimes thrown their way by family or the homophobia they suffer on Brooklyn's streets. Kristen Wiig is luminous, and even though not much in particular happens, Nasty Baby is a funny, enjoyable ride. Until, that is, Freddy kills the neighbourhood nutcase The Bishop (Reg E. Cathey) after he attacks him. A plot turn designed to drag these otherwise sympathetic New Yorkers through the mud, it comes too late for Silva to really know what to do with it – there's no guilt or fall-out in their relationships, just cappuccino and brunch. And just to add to the mess, the director tacks on to the credits what feels like a deleted scene of Freddy and Polly roller-skating, as if he just couldn't bear to part with it. A strange expression of self-hate, Silva's Nasty Baby is a fictional life laid bare with all its faults – honest, cruel and just a little bit bipolar.

Q: Integral $\int {\left(b\left(\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{a}\right)+\frac{c}{2}\left(\frac{1}{a^2}-\frac{1}{x^2}\right)\right)}^{-\frac{1}{2}} dx$ Evaluate:
$$\int {\left(b\left(\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{a}\right)+\frac{c}{2}\left(\frac{1}{a^2}-\frac{1}{x^2}\right)\right)}^{-\frac{1}{2}} dx$$
I came to this integral while solving a problem on rectilinear motion.I failed to solve it.Please help.

A: Hint: Write your integral in the form
$$\pm\int \frac{\sqrt{2}ax}{\sqrt{x^2(c-2ab)+2a^2bx-2a^2c}}dx$$ and use the so-called Euler substitution.
