Best chocolate for best price. Creamy, rich Belgian milk chocolate with whole hazelnuts. I'm afraid it doesn't last long in our house. Walmart carries it in stock all the time so it's easy to find.
Yummy.... Whenever we buy this big chocolate bar. Its always gone before the day is over. Everyone in my house enjoys this. We buy it every time we go to Walmart.
Great tasting milk chocolate with good sized hazelnut chunks. Can't be the quality for the price!
160 Calories are in 3 Squares (30 g) of Waterbridge Belgian Hazelnut Milk Chocolate. A 400g bar sells for $3.99 at Walmart. It's a big bar.
When I saw this bar in the regular grocery store isle I was a little skeptical about quality and taste but to my surprise this chocolate bar is pretty good and you can't beat the price.

Azealia Banks and Kreayshawn have patched things up after a falling out a few months back, and the "Gucci Gucci" rapper thinks it's a positive message for their female fans.
The beef started a few months back when Kreayshawn retweeted a link to Azealia's hit "212" saying how much she liked the track, but when the link directed fans to a porn site, Ms. Banks got heated. She immediately threw a few harsh words at Kreayshawn, but last week, she apologized on Twitter after realizing she made a mistake.
According to Kreayshawn, who is getting ready to drop her debutSomething 'Bout Kreay next month, Banks actually reached out a few months ago to say sorry.
"We had some shows in Japan together and we had a chance to watch each other perform," Kreay told MTV News. "I've always been a fan, and she hit me up and said, 'I really like your live show.' That was back in April, but no one even noticed that."
The two crossed paths again at another show and really put their differences behind them.
"I went to her Mermaid Ball show in LA because a lot of my homegirls were performing," Kreayshawn said. "She ended up hitting me up a couple of weeks after and said, 'I really wanna publicly apologize,' and I [thought that was] really dope."
"I think it's cool because there's so many girls looking up to everyone that all the beef tears our fans apart," the rapper continued. People feel like, 'I have to be this person's fan and hate on this person.' So I think it shows that you can forgive people, you can apologize to people, you can realize you're wrong and it shows camaraderie for all girls. It's for girl power."
Something 'Bout Kreay is due on September 18, lead by the single "Go Hard (La La La)." Stay turned to MTV News for more from our interview with Kreayshawn.

Why isn't she in the game anymore? She was the true Kitana, and Becky does not remind me of Kitana too well. Now, who do YOU think is better? I've read something like this, and most people liked Becky. They say she is more fit for Kitana, but I don't really think so.

This rarely happens. I've filed my official, pen-named review (actually I forgot to put a pen name on it so it's probably out there under my real one…oops). Usually at this point I let it go and get on with the million other things I'm supposed to be doing, but there was something about Georgia Stitt's concert at the Garrick on Sunday that reminded me why I love 'event theatre' (inverted commas because I hate that phrase but it works so I'm using it), and made me want to keep talking.
I got in to theatre because I fell head over heels with the idea of exclusive events. I loved the idea that these shows would not last forever; if you missed it, it was gone, at least for now. The thrill of creating something that was such a celebration it would only happen once formed a huge part of my early career, and the very nature of the 'one night only' meant that the projects were always things worth seeing. To go to that effort for something sub-par would not only be a complete waste of time and money, but also kind of soul destroying. It comes back to one of my favourite 'production sayings': We do it because we can't not. That applies hugely with the one-nighters, I think. Up to ten months of work for one night? You must either be crazy or convinced. Read more…Leave a comment

I spent a wonderful evening with Skye Crawford and Whitney Mosery at the Georgia Stitt concert at the Garrick Theatre on Sunday night. Georgia is a rising star from the USA, a composer, lyricist, MD and, as I discovered after the show – she is also a really lovely person. Her songs are so honest and personal, funny and poignant.
She was joined on stage by a cast of great singers including Simon Bailey, Norman Bowman, Cynthia Erivo, Jamie Muscato, Eva Noblezada and the lovely Caroline Sheen as well as the choir from Arts Ed. Drama School.
The producer for this great show was Danielle Tarento. After sitting on an MMD panel with her and John Cohen, talking about stage rights and writers, I seem to meet her everywhere. Her wonderful productions including: Dog Fight, Titanic, Mack and Mable and Parade. Read more…Leave a comment

My Lifelong Love – An Evening With Georgia Stitt and Friends was performed at the Garrick Theatre, London.
US composer and lyricist Georgia Stitt's performance in My Lifelong Love at the Garrick Theatre marked her solo West End debut. The show featured songs from her three albums: This Ordinary Thursday, Alphabet City Cycleand My Lifelong Love, and also her shows Big Red Sun,Mosaic and Samantha Spade – Ace Detective in Act I, while Act II showcased her current work in progress, The Danger Year, which I hope we hear more of very soon.
There is no denying Stitt's immense talent as a songwriter and musician. Every song is superbly crafted. She may often be called Mrs Jason Robert Brown, but her music has its own wonderful energy: strong pulsating rhythms, cross rhythms and shimmering running passages combine with classical, jazz, dance and R&B influences, and soaring melodic 'hooks' reinforce central themes. Her orchestral writing, and command, is wonderful – Stitt writes music for singers AND instrumentalists and it was notable that she credited her superb musicians and singers in equal measure.

Reviewer: Ava Eldred
In recent years, an abundance of 'One Night Only' concert engagements seem to have popped up in and around the West End. As with any instance of over-saturation, some are average, some are terrible, and then there are the rare ones, such as last night's performance of My Lifelong Love: An Evening with Georgia Stitt and Friends, that are classy, have a reason for existing, and for the most part are truly excellent.
A lot of this is to do with the material. Georgia Stitt manages to be both mature and youthful in her writing; she sounds contemporary and fresh but always with a solid assurance that she knows exactly what she's doing. Interestingly, the programme lists the years in which the songs were written, and for the most part, Georgia's writing gets better and better as time goes on. Particular highlights include Palimpsest, written in 2013 for the Once Upon A Time In New York City concert series and Stop, from Georgia's current projectThe Danger Years, which formed the entirety of the concert's second act. This is usually a structure I find dull, but it worked well here. The Danger Years is pacy and engaging, and will become even more exciting as it is developed. Read more…Leave a comment

Making her West End debut with My Lifelong Love, composer Georgia Stitt is still probably best known as the wife of that other composer of modern musical theatre: Jason Robert Brown. Yet in this one-off evening celebrating her music, she proved that she's certainly his equal.
Stylistically there are clear similarities between their music. Both follow a comparable dramatic rhythm, merge word painting and a sense of classical composition with accessible pop melodies, and hold storytelling as a core focus. Every song is a story in its own right, both composers having a penchant for contemporary subjects – brutally honest and believable love stories in our modern world. Yet where so many New York composers attempt to replicate JRB's sound, only Stitt can truly compete. Read more…Leave a comment

My Lifelong Love: An Evening With Georgia Stitt and Friends at the Garrick Theatre, Sunday 26th October 2014
Unless I'm a complete philistine, I'm sure I wasn't the only person arriving at the Garrick Theatre last night for "My Lifelong Love, An Evening with Georgia Stitt and Friends" thinking 'Georgia Stitt, who is she?' Well, after a couple of hours of listening to her music, I can confidently say that this American born composer, lyricist, arranger, conductor, musical director and occasional singer is proof that the ancients got it wrong when they said you can be a Jack of all trades and master of none. Georgia was certainly the master, or should that be mistress, of the stage last night. In fact I should add to the list of her accomplishments, dammed good piano player and witty host as well. The show was a wonderful introduction to Georgia's music with songs such as 'One Day More' from her debut album 'This Ordinary Thursday' right through to excerpts from her latest work 'The Danger Year'.

Rewind to last Thursday, it was blazing hot up to at least 90 degrees in the bay area. Then being the bay area, mother nature decided to throw us a curve ball and bring us rain. But it didn't stop Melissa and I from shooting :). Which I'm glad we got to shoot this past weekend despite the cray weather, bc her photos turned out amaazing. I love how she captured the fog and rain in San Francisco in a beautiful way.
I styled this outfit working off of these French Connection Rebound skinny jeans as a foundation. Which btw, they are SUPER comfy and I absolutely love how I don't have to fold them up.. they fit perfectly on my petite frame..more like short frame lol.
Topped off the outfit with these amazing Nike Thea's (which I've been coveting for a while, but finally took the plunge shopping on @stephanieshih's Poshmark closet.

The Unstable Angina Therapeutics Market report provides in-depth analysis of parent market trends, macro-economic indicators and governing factors along with market attractiveness as per segments. The report also maps the qualitative impact of various market factors on market segments and geographies.
Angina is a condition characterized by the pain in chest, neck, shoulders or arms mainly caused due to blockages in heart arteries due to which heart is deprived of oxygen. There are two major types of angina namely unstable and chronic stable angina. Chronic stable angina also known as angina pectoris is a common form of chest pain caused due to lack of oxygen supply to the heart. It usually occurs during rigorous exercise and pain is alleviated when the person rests for some time. Whereas, unstable angina is a chest pain that occurs suddenly and becomes worse with time. This type of chest pain occurs without cause and can lead to heart attack. Patients with unstable angina needs emergency treatment involving hospitalization and medications that helps in stabilizing the condition. Atherosclerosis (plaque deposition in the arterial walls) is the principal cause of unstable angina. Diagnosis of unstable angina is facilitated by blood tests, echocardiogram (ECG), coronary angiography and echocardiography.

Treatment options depends on the severity of the condition; primary medication options include the use of blood thinners such as heparin or clopidogrel. Also, medications are administered to reduce the angina symptoms such as blood pressure, arrhythmias, cholesterol, anxiety and others. If there is a blockage or narrowing of artery, then the physician may recommend invasive procedures such as angioplasty and in severe cases, heart bypass surgery is recommended. Unstable angina therapeutics market exhibit immense growth potential majorly due to increasing number of patients with cardiac disorders, increasing use of tobacco, improper food habits and changing lifestyles.

Unstable angina therapeutics market can be analyzed on the basis of several products used in treatment of the same. Some of the products used in the treatment are calcium channel blockers, low molecular weight heparins, nitrates, statins, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, beta blockers and others. Also, a pipeline analysis of unstable angina therapeutics can be elucidated. The major factors influencing the growth of the market are rise in number of patients undergoing treatment for unstable angina and approval of novel therapies that render high safety and efficacy. Rivaroxaban, varespladib and otamixaban are few examples of novel therapeutics that are currently in the late stage of clinical development. These products if approved are expected to be marketed at premium prices. However, low penetration of novel therapies in generics-dominated market would decelerate the growth of unstable angina therapeutics market. Other factors such as patent expirations and high cost of drug development also might hamper the growth of the market. Bayer Healthcare, Sanofi, Anthera Pharmaceuticals and Ablynx are some of the companies operating in this market.

Cervical myelopathy is a condition caused by narrowing of the spinal canal leading to cord dysfunction.1 The most common causes are congenital stenosis and degenerative stenosis caused by spondylosis (degenerative osteoarthritis).2 When it is caused by spondylosis it is commonly referred to as cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common condition affecting around 1% of the population. Around 90% of patients with RA have cervical spine involvement with between 11% and 58% of these patients having neurological involvement.3,4 Many of these patients have cervical myelopathy.
Whatever the underlying disease process, the compression is usually progressive and will often require surgical intervention to prevent further disability. Many patients experience significant improvement in symptoms after surgery, so operative intervention should be considered for almost all patients.
Cervical myelopathy is more common in men and tends to present earlier than in women. Radiologically, the condition is present in 13% of men in the third decade and almost 100% of men over the age of 70. In women the disease presents later, with 5% showing radiographic changes in the fourth decade going up to 96% in women over the age of 70.5 Changes are more common in patients with RA where 85% of those with moderate to severe disease will have x-ray changes.6
When patients with cervical myelopathy present in the third or fourth decade of life it is usually secondary to congenital stenosis. If it presents later in life, degenerative spondylosis is usually the underlying cause. Patients who have a congenitally narrow canal are predisposed to the effects of spondylotic changes earlier, as there is less space in the canal to accommodate the compressing lesions.
Pathological process
The underlying cause of the condition is compression of the long tracts in the spinal cord. The normal diameter of the cervical spinal canal is between 17 mm and 18 mm. When this diameter falls below 12 mm to 14 mm for any reason this is likely to cause stenosis and myelopathic symptoms. The average diameter of the spinal cord in the cervical spine is 10 mm.
The common pathological processes underlying cervical myelopathy are outlined below:
Disc Herniation.
Discogenic disease may cause myelopathy in the acute setting as a large central soft disc herniation causing cord compression. Disc disease is also often seen as part of the compressive lesion in spondylotic disease.
Myelopathy due to congenital stenosis does not have a specific underlying lesion. It is caused by a canal diameter which is narrower from birth. It is often not symptomatic until secondary degeneration further narrows the canal.
CSM is the result of degenerative changes which develop with age, including ligamentum flavum hypertrophy or buckling, facet joint hypertrophy, disc protrusion and posterior spondylotic ridges. One or all of these changes contribute to an overall reduction in canal diameter which may result in cord compression. Spondylolisthesis usually occurs in the lower cervical spine. It is caused by arthrosis of the facet joints combined with disc degeneration leading to instability.7
Post traumatic myelopathy.
Trauma may induce myelopathy or precipitate symptoms of an underlying stenosis of the spinal canal. Smaller diameter canals have an increased chance of neurological injury in trauma.8
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL).
This is a common feature in patients with cervical myelopathy with up to 25% being affected. It is particularly common in patients from the far east. It is seen on imaging as areas of ossification behind the vertebral bodies. The extent is best defined by CT.9
Myelopathy due to tumour expansion.
Intraspinal tumours are a relatively uncommon cause of cervical myelopathy but must always be considered given the potentially catastrophic consequences of the diagnosis being missed. Tumours may originate in the spinal cord (intramedullary tumours) or compress from outside (extramedullary tumours). Metastatic deposits are usually slow growing with gradual onset of symptoms.
Patients may present with a range of symptoms and many of these are non-specific. It is important to remember that although cervical myelopathy is a disease of the cervical spine it may manifest with lower as well as upper limb symptoms.
The classical presentation is loss of balance with poor coordination, decreased dexterity, weakness, numbness and in severe cases paralysis. Pain is a symptom in many patients but it is important to remember that it may be absent which often leads to a delay in diagnosis. In older patients it often manifests with a rapid deterioration of gait and hand function.
Cervical lesions in the region of C3 - C6 cause a loss of manual dexterity with difficulties in writing and nonspecific alteration in arm weakness and sensation. Cervical lesions from C6 - C8 tend to lead to a syndrome of spasticity and loss of proprioception in the legs. These patients often have gait disturbance and suffer multiple falls. Multilevel disease is common causing a mixture of symptoms.
Common presenting complains are:
- heavy feeling in the legs
- poor exercise tolerance
- radiculopathy
- poor fine motor skills
- L'Hermitte's phenomenon - intermittent electric shock sensations in the limbs, exacerbated by neck flexion
- numbness and tingling in the limbs
Late in the disease where compression is severe, if surgical decompression is not performed the symptoms progress to sphincter dysfunction and quadriparesis. CSM is the most common cause of acquired spastic paraparesis in adults.
Examination findings
Patients present with a number of clinical findings which are predominantly upper motor neuron signs.
- Weakness is more severe in the upper limbs.
- Gait is usually affected with an ataxic broad based gait.
- Hypertonia - increased resting muscle tone identified by passive movement.
- Hyperreflexia - exaggerated response to normal physiological reflexes.
- Ankle clonus - forced dorsiflexion at the ankle giving rise to sustained beats of clonus (more than three beats is considered pathological).
- Babinski sign - extension of the great toe on scratching of the sole of the foot.
- Hoffman's reflex - flicking of the terminal phalynx of the middle or ring finger causing concurrent flexion at the terminal phalynx of the thumb and index finger.
- Finger escape sign - the small finger spontaneously abducts due to weak intrinsic muscles.
The most comprehensive classification system widely in use is the 'European Myelopathy Score' (Table I).
Table I: European Myelopathy Score
The Nurick classification10 (Table II) is probably the most useful classification to be used for stratifying the level of functional restriction in mobility, caused by cervical myelopathy.
Table II: Nurick's Functional Scale
The Ranawat classification11 (Table III) is used to categorise patients who have rheumatoid myelopathy based on their history and examination findings. It can be used to predict recovery after surgical intervention.
Table III: Ranawat Classification of Neurological Deficit
There are a number of ways that imaging can be used to diagnose the condition and help decide on a management plan. They are often used in combination to give a clear overall view of the pathology.
Plain x-ray is the initial imaging modality of choice. Anteroposterior (AP) and lateral views should be requested. These will show spondylolisthesis, fusion and osteophytes clearly. Absolute measurements of the canal size are not reliable from x-ray. However, Pavlov's ratio can be used as a guide to indicate narrowing. It is worked out as the AP diameter of the spinal canal divided by the AP diameter of the vertebral body.
Where instability is suspected to be the cause of symptoms (especially in RA) flexion and extension views of the cervical spine will show abnormal motion (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1: Atlantoaxial subluxation in flexion.
MRI gives a detailed three-dimensional image of the cervical spinal cord and any compression present. It has been key in recent years in diagnosing the condition early. The advantages of MRI are that it involves no radiation and gives excellent imaging of the disc and nerves including intrinsic changes in the cord and nerve roots (Fig. 2). The extent of panus in patients with RA is also well demonstrated. In recent years new techniques have become more prevalent which reduce the impact of artifact caused by instrumentation.
MRI is not as good at identifying the extent of osteophytes and disc calcification so when these are suspected MRI should be supplemented with CT.
Fig. 2: A stenotic segment between C4 and C6 on a T2 weighted saggital reconstruction.
There are two main uses for CT scanning in the diagnosis of cervical myelopathy. There are some patients who are unable to undergo MRI imaging, often because of an implanted cardiac device. For these patients a CT myelogram offers an imaging option which is almost as sensitive as MRI.12 In general CT can also give additional information on the presence of osteophytes or other bony compressive lesions which are underestimated on MRI scans (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3: A saggital section of a spondylotic c-spine with clear protrusion of osteophyte into the canal.
CT myelography requires a cervical or lumbar puncture and the introduction of contrast. Patients require inpatient monitoring for a period of time, as reactions to the contrast can present late. CT myelography has become rare in practice now due to the widespread availability of MRI.
Conservative management
Conservative management may be considered in many cases, provided patients are closely followed up in clinic. Cervical myelopathy is predominantly progressive and only a small number of patients experience regression in their symptoms. Some patients are medically co-morbid making surgery high risk. In these patients a trial of conservative management should certainly be considered.
Non-operative management should involve regular analgesia. Gabapentin should be considered as an adjunct to simple analgesics for patients who have significant pain from radicular symptoms.
A soft collar may be used, especially when instability is a significant cause of symptoms which is often the case in patients with RA. Physiotherapy may be of use in patients who can tolerate it which can involve traction, heat and ultrasound therapy. Activity modification can be a useful way of limiting factors which provoke symptoms. Extension of the cervical spine and restriction of heavy lifting can be particularly helpful.
The use of epidural steroid injection is controversial. They are primarily used in patients who have significant radicular symptoms. Their efficacy has been shown in some studies to the similar to caudal epidural injection for radicular symptoms in the lumbar spine.13
Patients who suffer a failure of at least three months conservative management should be considered for operative intervention. Particularly if symptoms impair activities of daily living surgical intervention should be considered. Any patient who exhibits progressive neurological deficit should undergo operative intervention unless the risk of surgery makes this impossible. It should be made clear to the patient that the main aim of operative intervention is to prevent progression of the neurological symptoms and that recovery is unpredictable and cannot be guaranteed.
Surgical management
The primary goal of any surgery is to restore the diameter of the spinal canal such that compression of the spinal cord is relieved. The choice of operation depends to a degree on the surgeon's experience with any particular procedure. However, the location of stenosis and the vertebral body alignment will guide whether an anterior or posterior approach is suitable.
Although controversial, there have been studies which show that even when a patient is bedridden because of cervical myelopathy, there is a benefit to operative intervention. One study showed that in 55 patients with a Nurick score of 5 (chair bound or bedridden), two thirds improved one point after decompression returning the patient to walking, albeit with assistance.14
Surgical interventions can be divided into two anatomical areas; the upper (C0-C2) and lower cervical spine (C3-C7) and two approaches; anterior and posterior. When considering approach, the decision making process has to consider a number of factors:
- main site of cord compression
- whether compression comes from the front or the back
- the number of levels involved
- bone quality
- deformity (mainly kyphosis)
- instability (stepladder deformity in RA patients - multiple sequential levels of subluxation)
- presence of fused segments
- patient wishes and expectations
Posterior approach to the upper cervical spine
The most common approach to the upper cervical spine is the posterior approach. This enables the surgeon to insert screws into the occipital bone (Fig. 4), the lateral masses of C1 or the pedicles, isthmus or lamina of C2. Insertion of screws in this area is not without risk, because of the proximity of the spinal cord and vertebral arteries. The vertebral arteries follow a variable course in as many as 20% of patients. Wiring techniques according to Gallie15 or Brooks and Jenkins16 are used only as part of transarticular screw fixation according to Magerl17 (Fig. 5). The other frequently performed technique is lateral mass fixation of the C1 and pedicle fixation in C2 according to Goel and Harms.18 In cases where vascular anatomy does not allow for isthmus or pedicle screws, Wright introduced screws into the lamina of C2 with good success.19
Fig. 4: A lateral x-ray of a patient who has undergone craniocervical fusion performed through the posterior approach.
Fig. 5: A patient who has undergone atlantoaxial screw fixation for subluxation with Magerl's technique.17
Anterior approach to the upper cervical spine
The anterior approach to the upper cervical spine is rarely used now. Historically it was used for resection of inflammatory panus in patients with RA. It has since been shown that panus resorbs with rigid posterior stabilization so the approach is now infrequently indicated.
Anterior approach to the lower cervical spine
The Smith-Robinson approach20 is the most common anterior approach to the lower cervical spine. It is most frequently used to perform discectomy. It allows disc material to be excised from the distracted disc space with curettes and pituitary rongeurs. In order to make sure the decompression is adequate, the accessible posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) and posterior osteophytes are resected and the foramina are widened (Fig. 6)
Fig. 6: A patient following a C5/6 discectomy and cage fusion.
Access to posterior osteophytes or OPLL is limited with discectomy alone. When these structures cause significant compression, corpectomy (vertebral body resection) should be performed (Fig. 7). Most commonly one level is resected but resection of two or even three vertebral bodies has to been performed. One study demonstrated an improvement in the Nurick score of over two grades following the procedure.21 More extensive resection leads to suboptimal stability of the cervical spine which should be addressed with the addition of posterior stabilisation.
Fig. 7: A patient following C5 and C6 corpectomy and fusion with a cage and plate.
Autologous bone graft harvested from the iliac crest has been the benchmark procedure for many years when providing graft for fusion procedures. Because there is up to 20% morbidity associated with harvesting iliac crest graft, the vast majority of spinal surgeons now insert synthetic bone graft with or without a cage. Following discectomy a cage is inserted into the disc space to maintain or restore the disc space and return any lost cervical lordosis.
Different cages are used in filling corpectomy defects. These are usually a titanium or polyether-etherketone (PEEK) mesh, filled with bone graft harvested locally during the corpectomy. Plates are then used to restore the stability of the cervical spine. There are various designs, with most being unicortical locking plates allowing placement of fixed angle or variable angle screws. Some plates allow for minimal subsidence of the graft/cage. Plates are designed to be low profile to prevent irritation of the overlying oesophagus and should be contoured to match the cervical lordosis whenever possible.
Posterior approach to the lower cervical spine
The posterior approach is mainly used to relieve compression from posterior structures. It is also used in lordotic spines with multilevel anterior compressions, the most common cause being ossification of the PLL. Identification of the midline can be difficult and is usually done in the area of C6-7, it significantly reduces blood loss and trauma to the surrounding paraspinal musculature. The procedures most commonly performed through the posterior approach are laminectomy (with or without instrumented fusion) and laminoplasty.
Laminectomy extensively decompresses the spinal canal allowing for decompression of the foramina when needed. Instrumentation is usually performed to prevent post-laminectomy kyphosis and frequently to restore the normal lordosis of the c-spine (Fig. 8). The screws are inserted most frequently into the lateral masses, they are bicortical and give good stability. Pedicle screw fixation has been gaining popularity recently, with the introduction of spinal navigation.
Fig. 8: A patient who has undergone posterior decompression and instrumented fusion of C2 - C5.
Laminoplasty is an excellent option in lordotic spines, in younger patients, where fusion is undesirable and who can retain at least limited cervical spine mobility following the procedure. Laminoplasty techniques come from the Far East, mainly because of the high incidence of ossification of the PLL in the region.22 There are two main laminoplasty techniques, the French door and the open door. They are technically demanding procedures which lead to significant enlargement of the cervical spine diameter. Mini-plates have been designed to support the opened laminae (Fig. 9). Laminoplasty with mini-plates has been shown to be a reliable technique in multilevel disease.23 However, neurological recovery has been shown to be worse in patients over 75 years of age than in younger patients.24
Fig. 9: A patient who has undergone instrumented laminoplasty of C4 - C7.
Combined approach to the cervical spine
In complex cases, especially with a combination of compression from both anterior and posterior structures associated with instability, both approaches to the cervical spine have to be utilised (Fig. 10). These cases may require extension down to the upper thoracic spine or up high as the occiput. Patients have to be made aware of the significant functional restrictions resulting from these demanding procedures.
Fig. 10: A patient who has undergone posterior laminectomy and instrumented fusion of C4 - C7 combined with anterior corpectomy and fusion of C3 - C5.
Cervical myelopathy is a relatively common condition affecting a spectrum of patients across different age ranges. There are many underlying causes for the condition but in most cases the condition is progressive. Conservative management has a place in some patients who present a high surgical risk or where symptoms seem to be stable and compatible with normal life. However, many patients ultimately require surgical intervention.
Surgical treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy is very demanding and not without risk. Obviously timing of surgical treatment, before the onset of severe myelopathy, would seem ideal. Unfortunately we frequently do not have that option.
Approach and extent of surgical intervention has to be carefully selected and ideally should match the patient's expectations whilst minimising risk. Intraoperative and postoperative complications are common, especially in elderly patients with a wide range of medical co-morbidities. According to our results mirrored by many other centres, surgery is rewarding, because it stops progression of the cord damage and in most cases leads to improvement in the functional status of our patients.

Here are some of the holga images I shot at the last wedding. I was so pleased when first discussing her wedding photography that Susan, the bride mentioned she was a huge fan of the Holga and had a Diana herself. We discussed shooting a holga session at her wedding and I was so excited to see what we could capture. Lomography, which is shooting with cheap snapshot camera like a holga or a diana is known for its dreamlike romance, with optical distortion, saturated colouholrs, exaggerated vignetting, streaks from light leaks, and unpredictable outcomes.
I shoot with the original 120mm medium format Holga Color Flash Camera and with 120mm film which prints in a square format. The red you see through the images is one of the infamous light leaks that the holga is famous for… as it is made of plastic, there is little control as the how much light 'leaks' through its casing at various points. But this is the great thing about it, what you see through the viewfinder is not necessarily what you are going to get and makes even the most normal things even more interesting.
The artist in me adores the holga, although it is not for everyone, but if you are interested in having a holga session at your wedding, please contact me – caspix[at]mac.com. You can see more of my holga work if you click here or on the 'film' category in the links above.

After the thumping responses for Rajinikanth's Kabali teaser, distributors are queuing up at the Tamil producer's office, to bag the Telugu rights of the movie. Needless to say, Superstar Rajinikanth has impeccable fan base in the Telugu land, among the Tamil actors.
It is learnt that popular distributors like Abhishek Pictures, Dil Raju, Suresh Babu and Sunil Narang are all in talks with the Tamil producer for the rights.
"At present the Tamil producer is quoting nearly Rs 32 Crores, with satellite rights, for the Telugu distribution," said a source, quoted by a leading daily.
However, there is a complaint in the Telugu Film Chamber Of Commerce, which is making stopping them from finalizing the deal. It was stated in the complaint that, whoever is ready to buy Kabali rights, must also agree to repay the losses incurred by Linga Telugu version.
Even if a film works magically well at the box-office, it is a difficult task for it to spin the money of two films. Hence distributors are apparently in a dilemma, not knowing how to solve the issue.

Dear Steve:
Thank you for your invitation to share the "Tapping Your Investment" program with the other divisions at their August 3 dinner at the Hilton. I eagerly accept.
I understand the dinner begins at 7:00 p.m., but I plan to arrive about 6:30 p.m. to take care of any last-minute details.
I've enclosed my biography; please feel free to condense it or select any of the details you may want to use in your pre-program publicity.
Can you provide the following equipment?
• 3/4″ VHS video player
• television monitor and stand
• 2 flip charts and markers
• overhead projector and table
If I understand you correctly, the audience will be primarily senior executives looking for retirement investments. As soon as I finish updating my program materials for your specific audience, I'll forward my handout originals to you for duplication.
As you suggested, I have made my own airline reservations. I look forward to addressing your group.

Dear Ms. Laveaux:
Thank you for inviting me to address your students at the upcoming Student Interpreters Association Conference on June 2 at 9:00 a.m. I am pleased to accept.
As a deaf individual, I am aware of how beginning interpreters sometimes know very little about deaf culture. I feel the more they understand, the more effectively they can do their job. And their job is a critical one, because it provides us a link to the non-signing world. I would like, then, to address some aspects of deaf culture that may be unfamiliar to your students.
Do you think we could reserve one of the corner lecture rooms in Stabler Hall? The elevated seating would be ideal with so many people attending.
Thank you also for the invitation of a car to take me to campus—I am flattered. However, I planned to be on campus in the morning anyway, so the car will not be necessary.
I look forward to the conference.

Dear Mr. Guerra:
Thank you for the invitation to act as a guest lecturer at your investments seminar. I just had an opening for March 3 become available in my calendar, and I can think of no better way to fill it.
Thank you also for your kind invitation to participate in the remainder of the conference after I have finished my 8:30 a.m. presentation. The St. Louis Ritz does an excellent job with seminar planning, and I'm sure they will make yours an enjoyable one.
As for me, I will do my part to ensure it is also an informative one. I would like to discuss investment strategies, and it would help me a great deal if I knew the general level of expertise of the audience. I don't want to bore experienced investors with the basics but neither do I want to overwhelm beginners with some of the latest high-risk ventures. Your information will help me plan accordingly.
I will require an overhead projector and a projector screen. I'll provide you with informational packets when I have chosen the appropriate level of material for my audience. I can have the packets to you three days after I receive your audience analysis. Thank you for your kind offer of making the necessary copies.
Thank you too, for the offer of airfare, but I must admit that I do not like to fly—I prefer to take the train. Would it be acceptable for you to pay what the plane ticket would have cost towards train fare? If the train is more expensive, I will gladly pay the balance.
I am honored by your request, and will do my best to help ensure the conference is a success.
Yours Truly,

Dear Pembrook:
I can't tell you how excited I was to be invited to speak at the Horticultural Business Endeavors Conference. It will be an honor to address the business of growing exotics for sale at wholesale nurseries.
Let me confirm the information I wrote down when you phoned: The conference is the weekend of July 17 at the Lakeside Resort. I am to give a 90-minute presentation beginning at 3:00 p.m. on the 18th.
From what you indicated, very few of the conference attendees have begun any sort of horticultural business, so I plan to keep my presentation fairly basic. I'm bringing along samples of the various exotics I raise, as well as handouts on how to break into the business and specific markets for exotics. I would also appreciate use of an overhead projector and screen, or a large marker board.
Will I be able to get into my room ahead of time to set up? It will take me at least 30 minutes to set up. I would appreciate knowing as soon as possible what arrangements have been made so that I can adjust my plans accordingly.
I will be able to provide you with an outline of my presentation by the end of this week . Feel free to inform me of any modifications you feel would improve the quality of the information.
Thanks again for the opportunity.

Dear Mr. Friedrichs:
Thank you for asking me to speak on the nuclear research panel at your upcoming engineering conference. I would be honored to be included in the April 6 panel discussion with Dr. Rayburn, Dr. Carollton, and Dr. Denison.
I understand our panel discussion is to focus on controversy over current research projects, and, to a lesser extent, funding issues. I have a feeling we can expect quite a bit of commentary from the conference participants. At any rate, I will do my best to try and keep the ideas flowing.
I appreciate the arrangements you have made for my travel. I noticed in my letter you stated that my flight does not get in until 8:00 a.m. and our panel is scheduled at 9:00 a.m. Do you think that will leave me adequate time to get to the hotel and check into my room before going up to the hotel's conference suites?
I look forward to receiving the conference packet.

Holden edges closer to return
Bolton midfielder Stuart Holden has edged closer to a return after making a full appearance for the reserves on Wednesday.
Last Updated: 14/09/11 5:46pm
Bolton midfielder Stuart Holden has edged closer to a return after making a full appearance for the reserves on Wednesday.
The American has been out of action since suffering a serious knee injury sustained in a game against Manchester United in March.
The 26-year-old played the full 90 minutes in a 3-3 draw that also featured new signings David N'Gog and Gael Kakuta.
It was Holden's third run-out for the second string as he continues his recovery for Owen Coyle's side.
The news will come as a welcome relief for Trotters fans who have seen their club lose their last three Premier League games following the opening day 4-0 win at QPR.
Reserve team boss John Henry told the club's website: "Obviously Stuart has come through 90 minutes which is extremely satisfying and more good news for the gaffer."
Bolton have been decimated by injuries this year, after losing Chung-Yong Lee and Tyrone Mears to broken legs in pre-season.
The fixture list does not get easier for the Lancashire club, who face Norwich, Arsenal and Chelsea in their next three Premier League matches.

The Dissolution of The Hohokam Tribe
Arizona's history is inspired by ancient tribes who used their resources to farm, and make unique crafts. The Hohokam tribe is one of the most talked about tribes that were able to make a living in the desert.
It remains a mystery that the Hohokam Tribe no longer exist.
This article reflects on how the Hohokam tribe farmed in the desert, and how this tribe used their unique skills to build housing and crafts.
Hohokam Tribe Participating In A Physical Ball Game
The Hohokam Way Of Life
The Hohokam's resided in what is now known as the Tucson Basin located in Arizona. Their name stems from a Pima term which means "Those Who Have Vanished.
Archaeologists conclude that the Hohokam Tribe moved from Mexico to Arizona around 300 B.C. in which during that time the tribe set up society along the Gila and Salt Rivers.
This Map Shows The Hohokam Tribe Settlement And Includes The Anazasi, and Mogollon Settlements
Evidence For Human Occupation of The Tucson Basin
The Hohokam's Farming Strategy In The Desert
The Hohokam Tribe were skilled farmers who knew how to grow corn and cotton. When the tribe moved from Mexico to Arizona, the challenge they endured was how to grow crops in the dry environment.
Eventually their solution was to dig canals and irrigation ditches to draw water from the rivers to the fields.
The Hohokam canals were insulated with clay, which helped prevent evaporation from taking place during the hot summer months. The Hohokam's also built dams to mange the flow of water.
Constructing the canals was a huge task which took unity.

The Hohokam Tribe Find Out How To Grow Other Crops
Eventually the Hohokam Tribe figured out how to grow other crops such as, beans and squash. Through the source of a bow and arrows, Hohokam hunters lived of deer, rabbit and other desert animals.
The Hohokam's House & Creating Crafts
The Hohokam Lived In Pit Houses
The Base of A Pit House
The base of a pit house is dug 2 to 3 feet deep in the ground. The design include posts and consisted of a roof and walls made of mud, branches and grass.
The pit houses were cook in summer and warm in winter. Eventually the Hohokam's learned how to construct more durable homes, out of mud brick.

Hohokam Pottery
The Hohokam's Pottery & Jewelry
The Hohokam also made pottery and jewelry. Archaeologists found artifacts which show they traded with other tribes.
The Hohokam's Relationship With The Anasazi Tribe
The Anasazi Tribe were another tribe that arrived to the American Southwest 2,000 years ago. By A.D. 900 the Anasazi had extended to northeastern Arizona, Southwestern Colorado, and Northwestern New Mexico.
Research notes that the Hohokam's may have had a relationship between the Anasazi which consisted of building houses out of adobe which is clay mixed with straw. This clay brick is then left out in the Arizona sun to bake. It is believed that the Anasazi were very informative teaching the Hohokam tribe how to make the abobe brick and build adobe houses.
The Hohokam Ball Courts
The Hohokam tribe enjoyed playing ball games in which they built ball courts large enough for the sport. Playing ball games created a way for the tribe to share family events and socialize with one another.
It remains a mystery that such skilled farmers and gifted builders such as the Hohokam Tribe no longer exists.

- The item was damaged during the return shipment due to improper or insufficient packaging.
- The item being returned has been obviously heavily used (such as significant charcoal buildup inside a grill).
- The item has been assembled in a way that would impede proper packaging for return shipping.
In exchange situations, there are TWO options:
- If you need the product right away, you can purchase a replacement on a new order to get it shipped out as soon as possible. Then return the original item and we'll refund you for the original once we've received it back to our warehouse in "Like New" condition.

Ceramic GrillThis grill is just the size my wife and I need, holds a 12" pizza, and is a good size to smoke meats for extended meals for 2-4 Takes about 20-30 min to get lump charcoal lit with an elect. starter which was a learning curve for us, no big deal. The methods of temp. control work well and I found all I needed to do is try the process. Quality of the grill is Excellent. Highly Recommended.
Little JoeI bought this grill last summer (2016) and was a little skeptical of the size compared to a larger grill dome I had previously owned and decided to sell it when I moved a few years ago. Just to big and heavy with the the table I built for it. I built a cedar table for this little Joe and used the stand for a bird bath. For my wife and I this grill works great for our needs. I can put on 2 racks of spare of baby back ribs with.cutting each rack in half. 7-8 lb. pork shoulder with no problem. What's really nice and easy is the temp. control on this grill. Once you get the hang of it you can dial in 225-250 degrees and it stays there. Maybe a small adjustment on the daisy wheel from time to time as with any grill. I've found the easiest way to slow cook is to get your lump charcoal started in the grill and only get about 1/3 of the coals fired up in the beginning. Put the heat deflector in, close it up with the top and bottom vent open halfway. Watch the temp and when it hits the desired temp shut the vents down a little more to stabilize the temp. The unlit coal will just feed slowly from the lit coals and won't give you too much heat all at once so your constantly trying to get the heat back down to where you want it and your burn time on the lump will last much longer. Just my 2- cents but it may save some frustration to a newbie. Little Joe , Money well spent.
Joe Jr.....not that portable.I wanted a smaller grill as I am downsizing, and the kids are out of the house with their own families now. Purchased the Joe Joe Jr because of its size. It comes with its own stand....but!....the stand is not portable. You have to lift this rather heavy 70 pound egg to move it around. What would it not have lockable wheels with this stand....it would make so much more sense! This is very inconvenient and the biggest drawback to this grill.
Perfect size… Difficult to moveIt is the perfect size for a household of 2 or 3 or for those who don't grill a lot. Works just like its bigger brothers. It is however awkward to move due to its size. It's a back breaker to walk with. You really need two people. One on each handle. I bought a heavy duty garden cart to move it from the patio to storage when not in use.

According to multiple reports, long-time Cleveland Sports talk show host Kendall Lewis has died.
He was known as the "BSK"...for Big Sports Kahuna, also the name of his talk show on WKNR AM 850 radio.
Lewis was a Cleveland native who worked for several media outlets.
There is still no word on the cause of his death at this time, and we are still waiting on official confirmation.
Lewis' nephew, Benjamin A. Lewis, posted the following message on Instagram on Tuesday:
Many of his friends and colleagues are sharing their condolences on Twitter:
It saddens me deeply to learn of the passing of the BSK! He was a great person, husband and father. Our 2 plus years working together....— Greg Brinda (@SirFranksnBacon) April 12, 2017
