Approximately 1 month ago I sustained an injury during a routine blood draw. The technician hit the radial nerve in my left arm. Immediately, it felt like a bolt of electricity ran down my arm to my hand. Then it felt like it was on fire just above my wrist. I yelled and the technician removed the needle.
I asked what happened as I rubbed my arm. The technician casually replied that she had "hit the nerve." She instructed me to just open and close my hand a few times and it should be fine. She then said that this happens because the veins are so close to the nerves.
I'm 63 and have had many, many blood draws in my life, and this has never happened to me before, nor to anyone I know. I went to my doctor and was prescribed pain medication (2 weeks after the incident) to take at night, as I would not be able to function if I took it during the day.
This means that I am in a great deal of pain – under my arm, above my wrist, a portion of my left hand, the thumb and index and middle finger. It's like a toothache with random feelings of electrical jolts and/or skin being on fire.
My doctor could not tell me how long this could go on but estimated between 4-6 months.
Medical costs have been less than $200. Any idea what would be reasonable to ask for my pain and suffering? Obviously just multiplying the medical costs would not be adequate in this situation. Who is liable? Any perspective you can give would be helpful. Thank you.

Dear Marilynn,
While your injury is unfortunate, there doesn't seem to be any permanent damage. Moreover, your doctor didn't prescribe any medical procedures which might be necessary to medically remedy the problem.
The company which employed the technician is the liable party. While they may empathize with your pain, it is unlikely they will admit an injury was caused by their technician, or agree to pay you any compensation for the injury. To do so would be an implied admission of wrongdoing.
This is not to say you shouldn't make an effort to be compensated for your medical bills and pain and suffering. Just don't be surprised when the company refuses to pay. It is unlikely you will find a personal injury attorney to accept your case. There just isn't enough evidence supporting your claim, and more importantly, enough money in the case to make it worth an attorney's time.
See if the company will pay you. If they refuse, you can sue them in small claims court. In the State of Michigan the small claims courts' jurisdictional limits (the maximum amount you can sue for) is $5,000. You don't need an attorney to file your case, the procedures are rather informal.
If you do decide to sue in small claims court, make sure you ask the court clerk to assist you in issuing a subpoena "duces tecum" for the company records related to the incident wherein your blood was drawn.
A subpoena duces tecum is a request for documents.
Hopefully the documentation will show the technician's name, and any notations she may have made related to the incident, including the pain you suffered when the technician stuck the needle in an area which affected the nerve ending.

5 thoughts on "Nerve damage from blood draw?"
I had a blood test a few days ago and while the needle was in my arm I jerked a little and my arm went numb. She said she may have hit a nerve! My nerve going down the side of my arm hurts. I can't see the doctor now for two weeks. I have no swelling or shocks, just pain in my arm and neck, and some tingling in my fingers.
It feels like electric shock when I reach down or hold my hand out. The center of of my hand hurts terribly. I have shoulder pain if I just reach out my hand and my arm hurts as well. I have pain medication that does not help. We're discussing physical therapy but there's no guarantee it will work. Right now I'm in severe pain.
On May 2, 2017 I had my blood drawn at the Doctor's office for routine blood test (results were fine, this was a waste of time). I had told the Doctor I didn't want my blood drawn. She was "very" persistent, and I gave in. They used my strong right arm. It didn't hurt until later that night.
My strong right arm is now weak, and it aches all the time. I keep hoping it'll get better. It's now 12/19/17 and it's the same. It's hard to blow dry my hair. For the first time, I had to hire someone to paint my house. The aching and burning pain will not go away. I was 58 yrs old at the time. Now I"m 59. I want my strong arm back!!!!
I had pain from a blood draw on Dec. 25, 2015. I told her it hurt going in and when she took the needle out. It was not nerve pain as you described but bad pain where she drew the blood from.
This is May 20, and my left arm still hurts. It no longer wakes me up at night (it did for months). It has gone from 8-9 to 3-4 just the last few weeks. I have swelling and tendonitis from it.
My doctor poo-pooed it and my complaint fell on deaf ears. I was pissed!!!
I begged for an MRI which showed inflammation. Saw a neurologist- no nerve damage. Saw an orthopedic dr. who said it was tendonitis. My arm never bruised, just hurt terribly. My dr. was insensitive to it, and I saw the specialists on my own.
Still has not resolved. I should be compensated for pain and suffering, but probably won't be.
I too am 63 and just had a blood draw that resulted in a sharp pain shooting up my arm from my elbow to my wrist. I thought it would go away in a couple of days but hasn't. I called the Dr. and they can't see me for 2 weeks.
So I'm just wearing a wrist brace until then. Any ideas on how long this will last, will it go away and what can I do to help with the pain? It's like being tazered at any moment. The electrical shock comes just from moving.

Justice Department and Huntsville City Schools Announce Proposed Consent Decree to Provide Equal Educational Opportunities
The Department of Justice announced today that it has filed a proposed consent order in Hereford v. Huntsville Board of Education, a longstanding school desegregation case, to resolve issues related to school attendance zones, black students' access to quality academic offerings and student discipline, among other areas. The department and counsel for the Huntsville City Schools in Alabama jointly filed the proposed consent order in district court in Birmingham, and are now seeking public comment prior to presentation of the proposed consent order to the Huntsville Board of Education and to the court for final approval.
The proposed agreement, if approved, would resolve the parties' dispute over the district's 2014 plan to reconfigure student attendance zones. The Justice Department had objected that the plan did not further desegregation or address racial inequalities in students' access to quality academic offerings. If approved by the court, the proposed consent order would require the district to provide equal educational opportunities to black students by taking steps including:
revising attendance zones and growing and strengthening magnet programs to improve diversity at many of its schools;
expanding access for black students to pre-kindergarten, gifted programs, advanced course offerings such as Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate, academic after-school programs, and college counseling;
implementing measures to promote faculty and administrator diversity;
ensuring that all students are aware of and can equally participate in extracurricular activities;
creating positive, inclusive school climates, and ensuring that student discipline is fair, non-discriminatory, and does not unnecessarily remove students from classrooms;
establishing a desegregation advisory committee consisting of students and parents to advise the district and inform the court about implementation of the consent order;
providing professional development for teachers on such topics as strategies for teaching students from diverse backgrounds, understanding implicit bias, and supporting positive student behavior; and
continuously monitoring racial disparities to ensure meaningful and sustained improvement in areas including student performance, students' access to courses, and rates of student discipline.
"A quality education is the key that opens the door to a better future," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta for the Civil Rights Division. "This agreement aims to ensure that African American students in Huntsville schools can access that quality education on an equal basis. We look forward to working with the district to implement the measures required by this proposed order, if approved, and eventually bring this case to successful resolution after so many years."
"The Department of Justice is committed to ensuring that Alabama schools provide African American students, and all students, with the equal educational opportunities guaranteed under federal law," said U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance for the Northern District of Alabama.
If the proposed consent order is approved, the Justice Department will monitor and enforce the district's compliance. The district may seek a declaration of unitary status and dismissal of the case when it can demonstrate sustained compliance with the terms of the consent order.
The proposed consent order can be found at www.proposedconsentorder.com, which also provides information regarding opportunities for public comment, including a series of community forums.
The enforcement of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race and other factors in public schools, is a top priority of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. Additional information about the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department is available on its web site at www.justice.gov/crt.

Egyptian organ:
The big modern concert organ
The beautiful 17th century organ
Later that afternoon we got to the instrument museum in Stuttgart, where we planned to look at the Stein fortepianos in particular, and many other instruments also. But, the person we had intended to meet couldn't make it at the last minute, so we toured the instruments without playing them. Afterwards we checked into our Stuttgart hotel.
'The next morning - disaster! Alas, I had had my notebook with all my music - fortepiano, organ concerts - in my hand when we toured. It was nowhere to be found in the Mercedes or in our room. Thinking carefully, I realized I had set it down at some point in the tour around the museum, and....had very likely not picked it up again. (Here's where the blog should be "Life of an ADD organist". The museum was entirely closed on Monday, and no one picked up our phone calls to the music department. Fortunately, our schedule was entirely flexible, so we decided to stay until Tuesday morning, visit the museum again, and hopefully retrieve the notebook. I cannot lie: I was a nervous wreck thinking about what if it could not be found...which pile had my Faenza codex at Immanuel Church and who could possibly find it, pull out the correct untitled dance (one of many), scan it...that's just one piece...(I could almost more easily resurrect it from memory - maybe - with the help of the recent videos...there were at least 30 pieces in there that I absolutely needed in the 3 entirely different programs over the next 3 weeks.
Monday was spent working, both of us: I was formatting the ARTEK season brochure, Dongsok editing our Rosenmuller CD. And some shopping. A day without any keyboards whatsoever...how strange...first time this trip.
On Tuesday we went to the museum. For about a half hour it seemed that the notebook no longer existed, no one had found it, cleaning people had come in on Monday and who knew...cold sweat here. Then suddenly the nice receptionist realized she had an extra black notebook in her desk - and it was mine! Yes!!! All was OK again. The bonus was that this time we were able to play the instruments. One Stein we liked very much; the other seemed to have exceptionally hard, bright-sounding hammer covers which was interesting but not very fun to play. We also played a simply wonderful early French (17th century) harpsichord, and an early Italian harpsichord (below). That was a highlight for me.
Then we moved on towards a hotel in the town of Weimar. Dongsok had decided he would like to hang out in "the land of Bach" and see his birthplace, churches he had played in, and towns & cities where he had worked for the next few days.
On the way, we stopped at the Würzburg Residenz, home of the Bishop princes of Würzburg, built in the 18th century. No keyboards, but beautiful ceiling paintings and frescos by Tiepolo. Yay for Italians!
In Weimar, we did some touring around this lovely 18th century town, with its huge number of palace-like buildings. And ate Hungarian food. Below- plaque commemorating where Bach USED to live in Weimar.
The next day, we visited the Bachhaus, in Eisenach (place of Bach's birth), which Dongsok had visited in the past, over ten years ago. Like many attractions in the former East Germany section, it had changed much in the time since he had been there last. This is a house - unfortunately not exactly the house he had been born in, but one very near to it - with exhibits on his life and a number of keyboard instruments. One we had hoped to see, a small early German harpsichord, was no longer being exhibited, however. The other instruments included a modern harpsichord and spinet, an antique clavichord, and two antique organs from the region. A young teen did the demonstration; alas, had she been Bach's child, I think she would have been sent to bed without any supper for her performance! She played, very nervously, a few pieces from Anna Magdalena & Willhelm Friedemann books, and became totally lost in the last piece on the harpsichord and had to stop without finishing it! (I felt a bit like whispering "G sharp in the bass!" but I restrained myself...Afterwards she told us she was a music education student. (Fortunately, only 5 people in the audience!). Sad to say, although she was allowed to demonstrate the instruments ((despite her lack of ability) we were not allowed to touch the antique organs or clavichord. Sigh.
We also looked into the church in Eisenach where Bach was baptised, and the Latin school that Martin Luther attended 200 years before Bach's time. (Turns out Bach Land is also Luther Land. Not much surprise there!) Here's the Luther House in Eisenach, below.
We spent some more time on our music editing/graphic design work and then moved on to Dresden on Thursday. There, we visited Schloss Pillnitz where resides the original 5-octave Gräbner harpsichord. This is the instrument I have ordered a copy of from the esteemed American builder and harpsichord restorer, John Phillips. No playing though - even though we had tried sending emails much earlier, we had been warned that it is difficult to make a connection to a curator to actually try out an instrument in this area of Germany.
Although the Gräbner is a rather plainly decorated instrument - thought to be originally intended for use at the Dresden Opera House - the castle was filled with examples of fabulous chinoiserie, which is the decoration I am ordering for my own Gräbner.
And here's another instrument at Schloss Pillnitz - a harpsichord-hidden-in-a-piece-of-furniture.
Very efficient for NYC apartments! And cute.
We also went into the center of Dresden, where we marveled at the amount of reconstruction since World War 2, and visited the rebuilt Dresden Frauenkirche, with its large and beautiful baroque-replica organ case (originally a Silbermann, totally destroyed in WW2 also, now a modern organ instrument with 8,192 levels of memory. Gee but I think I might actually need 8,193 if I ever play there...what to do...). We also saw the Hofkirche in Dresden which does still retain its original, restored, 18th century Silbermann organ. (With exactly zero levels of memory :)
The no-memory Silbermann in the Hofkirche
The next day, we went on to Berlin, where we visited the Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, with a small Silbermann organ in the royal chapel.
Exterior of the palace, and Dongsok, feeling the heat.
Charlottenburg was a fascinating palace complex, particularly because so much of it was built and decorated in the Chinese style which was a serious fad in the 18th century, apparently. Many more examples of Chinoiserie decoration to take note of for our Gräbner decoration. (Black shows off the gold decoration the best but...red chinoiserie is so fabulous...we have until October to decide...).
In that palace, there are two 18th century harpsichords by Miettke with chinoiserie decoration - one a white background (very, very beautiful, but in New York...I feel it would be like wearing white pants on the subway) and one with a black background.
Just enough time that day to also head towards Potsdam and Frederick the Great's palace at Sans Souci. There are so many buildings and palaces connected to Frederick the Great and Sans Souci that it's actually a bit difficult to find the right one.
We knew there was a Silbermann piano there; we found a room with a closed keyboard instrument that the docent in the room assured us was a Silbermann, with hammers, not a clavecin, from1747. And Bach had played it. Hm. Looked suspiciously like an English style harpsichord, but we couldn't get too close, and the keyboard was covered. No other keyboards on exhibit. (There should have been at least two Silbermanns, actually.) Well, some internet search later confirmed that what we saw was indeed an English harpsichord, a Shudi, one of two that Frederick the Great owned, ordered by him in 1764. Don't think JS Bach ever played that; but likely CPE did.
On Saturday, we said goodbye to our quite wonderful, dust-covered Mercedes (now plaintively complaining every startup to please give me my 25,000 km checkup) at the Berlin airport and flew to Krakow in Poland - via a stop in Frankfurt, A bit roundabout way to get there, but an easy trip.

Ahmadinejad : 9-11 Was Planned As a Pretext For US Wars in Iraq & Afghanistan
Ahmadinejad spoke at the Islamic Awakening Conference in Iran this week. (ISNA)
Iranian regime President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told supporters this week at the Islamic Awakening Conference in Tehran that 9-11 was planned as an excuse for the US to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
Iran Press TV reported:
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says the US used the September 11, 2001 attacks as a pretext for the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan which led to huge human losses.
"This incident was a complicated game planned to influence the human community and a pretext to occupy Iraq and Afghanistan, and cause more than one million people to lose their lives or get wounded," Ahmadinejad said on Sunday.
He made the remarks in the opening ceremony of the fifth summit of the Ahl al-Bayt World Assembly in the capital Tehran, Mehr news agency reported.
The Ahl al-Bayt World Assembly summit is being held in the convention hall of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
On September 11, 2001, a series of coordinated attacks were carried out in the United States leaving almost 3,000 people dead.
During the incident, 19 reported al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners and crashed two of them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings.
The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington D.C.
The US, under the administration of former President George W. Bush, invaded Afghanistan in 2001 after claiming that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by members of al-Qaeda harbored by the then Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
The US also attacked Iraq in 2003 claiming that the Middle Eastern country was in possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
However, it was later revealed that not only was not executed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in possession of WMDs but also that US and UK leaders knew about the non-existence of such weapons.

I meant to post this yesterday:
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani would have no problem letting his wife Judith sit in on cabinet meetings, were he elected president. And she doesn't have any problem with becoming an adviser in the West Wing either, especially on issues of health care.
When asked if his wife would be involved in policy issues, he responded, "If she wanted to. If they were relevant to something that she was interested in. I mean that would be something that I'd be very, very comfortable with."
She's a nurse, after all.
UPDATE: Politico has a selection of front pages that Team Rudy found on their doorstep, including this one which reads "WIFE HOUSE."

Drove to southlands today in Vancouver, had to do a pile driving job in the north arm of the Fraser river. Me my bro and Willie. I showed up early, parked my truck that now has a leak in gas tank and broken windshield wipers. I get hit with the feeling, " I need to take a shit"... I look around and it's not looking good. I notice a walking path and head out with some old insurance papers. The path followed the bend of the river, and I decide on a steep entrance, with promising coverage. I make my way down the bank, the mud covering the rocks is so slick I lose my footing and slide around in a nervous fashion as the poo is letting me know it's time. I squat down in a shitty spot, defeated by the rocks and slime. I notice a craine walking in the reeds, and birds flying over my head. I just like how you can end up in such interesting places. I wiped with the help of icbc, and my day of pile driving was in full swing.
Chrome should be done tomorrow...I hope. TL

Internet Posting of Pre-Recorded and Live TV Programs To Be Captioned
One year ago, April 12, 2012, HLAA reported that the FCC had set a schedule for captioning over the Internet.
Well, a year later, we are seeing the rules for captioning over the Internet taking effect: pre-recorded video programming and live and "near live" programming that has been aired on television first with captions, must now be captioned when viewed over the Internet.

Hi jot form people. I just created a website and knew of jotform through my employer, so you were my go-to to create my contact form. I spent tons of time on the form the other day, but when I'd review it the conditions didn't work as I had set. I checked, redid them and time after time the same issue. frustrated I began to look for another company to use - but my heart still leads me back to you guys! What's going on with my form?! The areas work when they want, so obviously there's no confidence in the form at all at this point. Please help, I love you guys!!Page URL:

Thank you for coming back to us. We will do our best to help.
I have just cloned your form and did not notice any thing wrong. Could you please elaborate a bit more on what you would like to accomplish and the issue you are having.
While reviewing I did noticed that in your form you are allowed to select more than one option. Can you please indicate if this is the issue or you are having trouble creating a specific condition.
- victorAnswered on January 06, 2016 at 03:54 PM
After reviewing your form I notice that there is a conflict between your conditions. This is the reason the submit button does not appear in your form, with the first choice.
To correct this, I suggest removing the SHOW SUBMIT button in all conditions. In the condition with the EMAIL REQUEST (newsletter), modify the condition to the following:
Since you only require to show the button with this option, this condition will work. This will also show the button in all other options as well.
Please let us know if this helps.
- RescuedEveryDayAnswered on January 07, 2016 at 07:42 AM
Morning Victor! Sorry for my delay in response. I need the submit option to be for all of the options, but now I think you're seeing what my issue is if you went to click on another and it didn't show again (that's what it was doing for me, kept disappearing).
Is there a way to just make the submit button a default/required option so I don't even have to add it to any of the drop downs? Kinda how the name and email address areas are?
- victorAnswered on January 07, 2016 at 09:22 AM
After reviewing your form again, I notice that you have a conflict between your conditions. All your condition have the option to show the submit button. If you select the first option, the submit button will not appear. The reason is that the other option are not select.
Like I mentioned above, if you remove this show option (show submit) from all your condition and modify your last condition:
The submit will appear in all selections.
I have cloned your form and made the modification for you to review and clone if you like.
If you require additional information, please let us know. We will be glad to help.

As a composer, performer and teacher, it's amazingly imagined that I've detected utmost kinds of auditory communication ended the geezerhood. However, I still esteem the music of the cinema and, in particular, old fear pictures soundtracks (think Hammer Films, etc). Dracula music is a resolute favourite!
Let's beginning next to music by Philip Glass, level-headed for the 1931 Bela Lugosi classic pic Dracula and performed by the extraordinary Kronos String Quartet.
Glass's minimalist chic lends itself very well to this subject-matter. The album is modern sounding but beside a merciful of timeless chamber-music quality, and is a terrible accompaniment to a dialogue-only film.Post ads:
GreatShield Ultra Anti-Glare (Matte) Clear Screen / EMPIRE Nintendo 3DS XL 3 Pack of Invisible Screen / Apple iPhone 4/4S Hybrid Case with KickStand -Blue / LG GOOGLE NEXUS 4 XtremeGUARD© FULL BODY Screen / Kyocera Clip S2100 Prepaid Phone (payLo by Virgin Mobile) / Combo Rapid Car Charger, Home Wall Charger, USB Data / eForCity BLING RHINESTONE CRYSTAL CASE COVER Compatible / Incredicharge I-11000 External Battery Pack and Charger / SAMSUNG STAR II GT-S5260 Black,3.2 MP Camera,WIFI, / Loftek High Quality Audio Video AV RCA Composite Cable / NET10 LG Optimus Net No-Contract Touchscreen Prepaid Cell / eForCity TPU Rubber Skin Case compatible with Apple iPhone
The conventional Glass fingerprints are here: insistent ostinati, arpeggios, motifs and rocking two-note bass lines, but colorful near tender, elegiac moments. To me (being a melody-man at heart!), it was these musical moments which prevented this album from comme il faut too uninteresting. Don't get me wrong; I savour modern, inharmonious music, but in the end I durable for a damn-good air and this album gave me thing do up to that.
Most of the 26 tracks are rather short-term (1-4 records) and, though eerie, are surprisingly melodious. The cord musical performance is excellent, as you'd wait for from the Kronos association.
Here are a few of my popular highlights:Post ads:
Hibiscus Flower Romance Phone Protector Cover for Samsung / Belkin F8Z446 Micro Auto Charger with Charge Sync Cable / Panda Hard Case Snap On Rubberized Cover For Kyocera Rise / Korean Crown Smart Pouch .K Case iPhone / Samsung Case / HTC ThunderBolt 4G LTE Android Phone (Verizon Wireless) / EMPIRE Silver Sparkling Glitter Slim-Fit Glam Case for / Samsung Galaxy S II (T-Mobile) Hercules SGH-T989 Skyrocket / Samsung Galaxy Prevail / M820 Black Combo Silicone Case + / Rapid Car Kit Auto Plug-in Power Charger for Samsung / Electromaster(TM) Brand - Black Silicone Rubber Gel Soft / amCase(TM) Anti-Scratch Hybrid Bumper Case for iPhone 5 - / Body Armor for iPhone 3G / 3GS - Light Pink & Yellow
"Excellent, Mr. Renfield": an creepy hunk beside the anticipated constant ostinato/riff but near clarion terrifying moments when the iv suddenly busted in. The tick low chain keeps belongings writhing and a very good twisty harmony finished the top completes the symbol of the fly-eating insane who lives in the asylum!
"The Storm": a hot start on to the track, stuffed of disruptive triad and terribly remindful of a tempest. Pizzicato section nurture the rainfall and accelerated runs instigate an mark of swiftness.
"Horrible Tragedy": not secure if this is bi- or tri-tonal! Sounds like-minded all associate of the little joe is musical performance in a variant key. I similar to its attractive intrinsic worth and easy short riffs.
"In the Theatre": a extreme persistent melody and unproblematic chord progressions - reminds me of Phantom of the Opera for some reason!
"Renfield": a amazingly elegant and sympathetic rumble for our resident madman! Very classical superficial with quite a lot of sure chord changes and two-note deep accompaniment, then affecting into triplets. Very nice.
This is not the regular blood-spattered Dracula music, brimfull of impaired chords and squealing string section. Yes, it can be repetitive, but Glass seems to be victimization a greater continuum of delivery insignia than standard and, for this elegance of music, I found it fairly tuneful (although you'd be hard put to whistle on with the CD!).
Perhaps the audio recording gets rather hard half-way through: 26 tracks is a lot of minimalist music! I have to accept that I've not seen the picture show with this soundtrack, but I've detected that it complements the metaphors perfectly, very in 'Carriage Without a Driver', wherever the moving wheels are blatantly delineated and the auditory communication invokes a gift of threat.
On the complete... I approaching it!

Istanbul, Turkey – Indie developers Hayati Guvence & Enes Kilic today are pleased to announce hoodcast 1.1 for iOS, an update to their application featuring the latest technology in newscasting. The app allows users to become reporters and communicate the latest news in their location to other members. The social news network spreads important information quickly; someone's cast created in one location will live on through other users. This system creates a safe and user-friendly way to manage news on local, national, and worldwide levels. At the same time, it provides a chance for all users to get involved and broadcast their own news out in the world.
Feature Highlights:
* Members post news, pictures, and location with a simple tap
* Slide touch to adjust for local, national, and worldwide news
* Easy scroll through existing casts
* Casts spread and live on through others
* Elegant and inviting layout
* Now add up to 5 photos to cast
* Edit profile or location with a tap
* Customized notification settings
* Automatic Facebook integration
* Now compatible with iOS 6 and iPhone 5
Users will find it easy to become reporters and share their local news with the compose button in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Here they can tap to compose their newscast, adding a title if they wish and a description. They can then choose pictures from their library or take new photos that will be displayed on the news feed. In the latest version of hoodcast, up to five photos can be attributed to each new cast.
By tapping the location button, users can also specify their exact location to add to the newscasting experience. The app uses the device's advanced location technology to pinpoint the caster's location and add it to the post. When viewed on the home screen, each cast displays the location near the bottom of the post.
From the app's home screen, users can view all the casts of their fellow reporters across the globe. The beautiful view shows large, clear moving pictures for each story. Over each colorful story, the title is written and the caster's name and profile picture can be seen.
Users can customize their own newsfeed through a sliding bar at the bottom of the screen. They slide their finger to the left for more local news; all the way to the left will pinpoint news events exactly in the user's location. All the way to the right will show users all events in the world, and in between they can view news that is countywide, statewide, nationwide, or global.
With one tap, members can view the page of a particularly interesting story. Here they can view an enlarged version of the picture along with a concise, effective description of the event, location, and the caster's name and profile information. The app offers space for users to comment on events, allowing for intelligent, quick, and easy discourse on local as well as national news.
If users come across events that they have been to or are certain have occurred, they can tap the Witness button on the story's page. This increases the caster's credibility, and users can also view how many witnesses a story or caster has to easily determine the most reliable news sources. Users can also favorite news stories for easy access later. These favorited stories will appear on the user's personal profile.
hoodcast lends large space to high-quality photos with concise descriptions, creating an appealing and engaging layout that makes users eager to search for news stories and publish their own. The social app lets users stay connected locally as well as on a national level, now with automatic Facebook sharing capabilities.
"By providing independent newscasting opportunities, hoodcast offers a chance to broadcast news without the administrative restrictions found in other sources," said developer Hayati Guvence. "Everyone can stay connected with important news from home, even from the other side of the world!"

*This product was sent to me for review, all opinions are my own
The stamper is double sided, with the larger one being 22mm and the smaller end being 15mm and costs $4.04AUD. The plate below comes in at $7.50AUD.
I spent quite a bit of time testing different polishes and stamping the different designs on paper and my bare nails, just to get a feel of the whole stamping thing. I then, after getting slightly frustrated, watched a few YouTube videos on stamping (I can't find the specific ones I watched, but there are plenty out there to help) to help me get the hang of it even more. And they helped a lot because I realised I wasn't using enough polish or scraping hard enough.
Once I got the hang of it, I realised how simple it was, of course some polishes work better than others and some patterns pick up better than others, but generally it was all working out well. I found the best combo, and the combo I used in this post, to be the heart design with Bubblegum Pink by Sally Hansen.
Of course it's not perfect, there are some parts that didn't pick up or transfer that well but all in all I'm really pleased with how it turned out! The pattern is really cute and not one I was first drawn to but when I tested it out, I absolutely loved it. All the patterns are fun and different and can be used in so many ways. I'd love to give reverse stamping a go and see how/if that works out.
Here's another picture from the first time I tested out the products, not too bad for a first stamp!
I definitely recommend the stamper to any beginner because you can use it instantly without having to prime it or whatever it is you need to do to some stampers. And once you get the hang of scraping the right way, it seems like such a breeze!
Don't forget you can use the code MEPUK31 at checkout for 10% off your purchase!
Thanks for reading!

Who is Riding: Jeff Gross
Cancer Survivor & Riding for Team CareFusion
Jeff Gross is Vice President of Research and Development and Chief Technology Officer for the Procedural Solutions business segment at CareFusion. He is also a cancer survivor.
"Cancer has unfortunately touched me, my immediate family, and my extended family," said Jeff. "Both my wife and I are cancer survivors, and we know people who have succumbed to cancer. That said, we also know many people who are enjoying fulfilling lives because of major advances in cancer research."
Jeff learned about Pedal the Cause through CareFusion, and knew the event fit with his desire to help others and support cancer research. "Personally, I was the beneficiary of early detection, which set the course for a very successful outcome. My wife's cancer was also caught early. It was a very intensive emotional pathway. There was a lot of testing, waiting, hard decisions, and treatments, but she is healthy today with a great long term prognosis."
Through his personal experience with cancer, Jeff was inspired to join CareFusion's Pedal the Cause Team. "One of things I've learned as a survivor is that cancer is simply a pathology. It doesn't define you nor should you let it rule your life. With Pedal the Cause, we are all coming together and celebrating the people around us and the fact that we are in control of our lives."
Jeff describes how working in the medical device industry is very gratifying, "getting to see patients benefit from the devices the organization commercializes is the reason we come to work." Witnessing firsthand the benefits of cancer research through his experience, Jeff has become passionate about cancer research.
Continues Jeff, "the public is deluged with a plethora of daily well intended causes needing support. With the Government's continued retreat from funding medical research, general public involvement is important to getting and keeping consistent funding for cancer research. Pedal is about raising awareness and continuing to keep the need for private funding in the forefront. One never knows when the breakthrough treatment for a particular form of cancer will come, but it will never come unless we continue to support the requisite basic and clinical research."

Not many people have heard of Rueifong瑞峰, and even less have ever been there. The tiny Chiayi settlement, so small that it could barely even be called a town, has long been overshadowed by its better developed and far more tourist-centered neighbor, Rueili.
Until a few weeks ago I had only ever heard mention of the place once while a friend was giving me directions to Rueili. He put his hand on my shoulder and looked at me in a rather stern and almost fatherly manner, "You'll come to a fork in the road," he said, "if you go downhill you'll get to Rueili, uphill goes to Rueifong. Make sure you don't go to Rueifong."
For years, his words held a great power over me, and though I went back to Rueili again and again, I never even thought of taking that other, uphill road. A few weeks ago however, something happened. Maybe it was recklessness, or maybe it was a brochure that proclaimed Rueifong, "The home of the waterfall", but I decided it was time to go and see for myself what was there. I'm glad I made the decision because the scenery is spectacular and must rank amongst the best that Taiwan has to offer.
One of the town's main attractions is the Jhukeng River Trail竹坑溪步道. At just under 2km, the trail is not very long, but what it lacks in length it more than makes up for in interest. You descend into, and are quickly enveloped by dense, oversized plant life. Greens of every shade and tone surround you, while shafts of sunlight strike through the foliage over your head. The trees and bushes around you pulse and throb with the movement of animals. Mostly you see birds, some of them wonderfully colored, some of them no bigger than your thumb, they fly and hop from branch to branch, or just hover in front of you. There are also insects, strange looking reptiles, squirrels, and other little furry animals. Walk the path slowly, keep your eyes open and your voice down, and who knows what you'll see?
Just as quickly as you were enclosed by trees, you find yourself once again out in the open. A few turns of the trail later and you are met by a massive chasm. Rock hangs over your head, and below you it falls away for well over a hundred meters. The semi-circular back wall must measure more than 150m across, and the gorge stretches out far in front of you. The path takes you on behind Longgong Waterfall龍宮瀑布, and squeezes you under the overhanging rock.
Standing here, especially after just emerging from the dense undergrowth, you feel completely closed off from the outside world. On an island where any and every tourist destination is crawling with people, this, one of the most spectacular, has no one. The lack of people however only adds the scene's "Lost World" feeling, and though I do think it's a shame that more people haven't been here, I also hope that it never becomes truly popular.
Another feature of the Jhukeng River Trail are its suspension bridges. There are 10 them in total, and they're all made to a different design. There's something about a suspension bridge, the way they wobble and bounce under your step, they make you feel strangely adventurous, and add to that outdoors feeling. Some of the bridges on the trail bounce more than others, and none more so than the precariously hand-rail free, "Soft Bridge".
To get to the trail, follow Chiayi County highway 162 to the 36.5km mark. Turn off onto a small side road, and almost as soon as you do, you'll see a wooden signpost pointing you down a pathway. It's a pretty inauspicious start to such a wonderful pathway, so make sure that you don't pass it by.
The road to Rueifong is long and varied, and you pass by a number of great tourist destinations, and some fantastic sights before you even reach Jhukeng. If you leave from Meishan梅山, take the 162 road towards Taiping. This will take you on an incredibly twisting and turning ride. Locals call it the road of 36 hairpins, and each one is marked with a roadside sign so can count them as you ascend. Taiping太平 is a great place to stop and stretch your legs. If you're interested in seeing the sights, then there's an old shopping street and an interesting temple that are worth a visit. After Taiping you'll arrive at that, now infamous, fork in the road, take the uphill route. It quietly leads you through green corridors of trees and bamboo, and from there onto some of the most amazing mountain scenery you will ever see. Another 10km later, you'll arrive at the tea plantations of Rueifong, and after that, it's just a hop, skip and a jump to Jhukeng River Trail.

So what happens if you wobble on the bridge with no hand rail? That must be scary.com!

The once quiet fishing port of Puerto Escondido has blossomed into one of the best tourist spots in the whole of Oaxaca. Despite the influx of visitors, it has managed to retain its charm and not succumb to over-development, making it even more attractive to people traveling to Oaxaca.
It is a great place to unwind and relax, and also offers some exhilarating water sports for those of you with a sense of adventure and a sprinkling of courage.
Kayaking Through the Mangroves
Not far from Puerto Escondido you will find the Laguna Manialtepec, a body of water that has been overcome by a mangrove forest. In amongst the dense vegetation you will see a great variety of wildlife, but it is the birds that attract the most visitors. There are many different species to watch here, from pelicans to storks, but you will need to enter the forest by boat to see them.
Kevin Hutchinson, Flickr
A company called Rutas de Aventura organizes kayak tours around the mangrove forest so that visitors can get a glimpse of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. You can take a one-man kayak by yourself, or team up with others to take out a kayak to navigate the narrow channels between the sprawling mangrove trees.
It's a relaxing and awe-inspiring experience, and some of the profits made from the kayaking trips are used to help keep the area clean and unpolluted. This activity is perfect for tourists that want to support sustainability and eco-tourism in the region.
Water Skiing at Playa Embarcadero
For those of you that want to move a little faster across the water, water skiing across the calm ocean water at Playa Embarcadero will probably be more appealing. This beach is sheltered from the waves that pound the shore at some of Puerto Escondido's other beaches, so it's perfect for water sports like water skiing, wake boarding, and sailing.
Put on your water skis and hold on tight as you're pulled along at high speeds across the crystal blue water. There are plenty of local guys with their own boats hiring out equipment for you to use, so if you've never tried it give it a go.
Scuba Diving around the Coves
Puerto Escondido didn't start out as a fishing port without a good reason. The ocean surrounding the small town is brimming with a huge variety of fish, big and small, and no doubt you'll eat some of them while staying here.
On the other hand, you can have the opportunity to see some fantastic marine wildlife if you decide to venture out into the water equipped with some scuba gear. There are many boats that tour the numerous coves that separate the long sandy beaches around Puerto Escondido, and it is at these coves where you can see some really exotic sea life. Perhaps you'll see a turtle, or colorful fish that live close to the rocks.
For bigger fish, head out into the open water, and be prepared to witness large tuna, snapper, and mahi mahi swimming frantically through the deep blue. If you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of a marlin.
Surfing at Playa Zicatela
The number one activity for all you adrenaline junkies out there, surfing a Playa Zicatela when the waves are big will certainly get your heart pumping.
The wave that breaks here is sometime referred to as the Mexican Pipeline, because it is a very powerful and fast wave. On smaller days beginners and intermediates can have their chance to surf here, but when it get serious only experienced surfers dare paddle out.
Jo Simon, Flickr
Every November an international surfing competition is held at the beach, so if getting in the water yourself is just too frightening, just sit back and watch the professionals make it look easy.
Surfing in Puerto Escondido has helped bring the small town to the attention of international travelers, and the facilities here for people that want to try are pretty good. You can rent or buy all the equipment you need here, so there is no need to bring all your own equipment on a plane with you.
Take Your Pick
If you're looking for a fun activity to keep you occupied while staying in Puerto Escondido, you really are spoiled with choices. Water sports are perfect here, because of the great water quality, and the year round warm temperatures. All you have to do is choose which water sport is right for you!
Have you tried any of these water activities? What was your experience like?

Shilpa Shinde's reaction to her mother's visit will leave you in tears, see VIDEO
Bigg Boss has a big surprise for all the housemates this week. With the festive season approaching, the makers thought of bringing in the loved ones of the housemates. Shilpa Shinde's mother will be visiting the Bigg Boss house during this time. The episode has been shot already and will be aired today. On seeing her mother, Shilpa Shinde was stunned. Shilpa breaks down into tears as her mother hugs her.
Shilpa Shinde's mother visits the #BB11 house & she has some wise words for all the housemates! Tune in tomorrow to watch what she has to say! #BBSneakPeek pic.twitter.com/4pkvAeEYEG
— COLORS (@ColorsTV) 6 December 2017
Shilpa's mother also has a message for Arshi Khan, who has been passing mean comments on Shilpa after calling her 'Maa' in the initial weeks. She requested her to not insult someone whom they have regarded as a mother. All the housemates rush to meet Shilpa's mother as they are relieved of the freeze position.
It was indeed an emotional moment for all the 'gharwalas' as Shilpa's mother came to the house. Everyone was left with tears in their eyes remembering their families. For all those who don't know, Priyank's girlfriend Divya also entered the house and gave him a lesson. She told him that he has broken the heart of many girls including her and he needs to make up for it. Also, she made him realize that no one in the house is his friend except Vikas and that he needs to move out of the group of Hina and Luv and play his own game. Later, while she leaves the house, she thanks Vikas.
Looks like it is going to be a very emotional week for the housemates with their loved ones coming to the house. Vikas's mother will also be seen visiting the house and meeting him. Hiten's wife Gauri is also said to be making to the house to meet him. We still don't know about any other family members of the housemates coming to the Bigg Boss house.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C.
Melt the butter in a saute pan and gently saute the onions until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the Cognac, remove from the heat and cool slightly.
Combine the ground pork, liver and ground veal in a large bowl. Add the onion mixture, breadcrumbs, herbs, quatre-epices and eggs. Mix well. Sprinkle with plenty of salt and pepper. Fry a patty of it to check for seasonings and adjust if necessary.
Thinly slice the pork fat and line a 10-by-2 1/2-inch terrine mold with the slices, slightly overlapping them and allowing it to hang over the edges. Pack the meat mixture into the terrine and press down evenly. Fold the overhanging strips of fat over the top and add a few more slices if necessary to cover the top. Cover the top with a piece of parchment paper, then cover the terrine with foil.
Put the terrine in a roasting pan and pour around enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the terrine. Place in the oven and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the water bath and cool completely. Place a brick on it and refrigerate overnight. Slice and serve.

Today lights went off at 7 a.m. Got up did fifteen minutes of yoga, shaved and bathed in the dark, couldn't see what I was going to wear, so, got mismatched clothes on - peach green cotton shirt and blue trousers. But what got me excited was the idea of wearing my new Bata patented leather shoes bought on Friday for Rs 2000, Rs 1999, to be exact.
I guess, they have this Indian aversion for round figures (except of the feminine variety!) and it is always Rs 2001 or Rs 1999. Rs 2000 is like a bad omen. I think I am an eyesore around the office in my mismatched peach green and blue trousers. But I check my shoes, oh, they just shine.
I guess there is no dress code in outsourcing companies. If there is, then it is universally ignored. But I stick to my self-created dress rules. Our software development guys come in crumpled, loud-checked shirts, and dusty and torn loafers. Those guys don't know, and don't even wish to know about power dressing. I can't help them.
I remember the words of Shashi Kapoor which is still emblazoned in my mind after all these years, "Dress well, and doors will open for you." And Shashi Kapoor was the ideal male metrosexual even before the term was coined. Women would faint in theatres showing his movies!
Bata shoes are something I indulge because my last pair of Bata shoes lasted me two years, and was in a bad state. The sole had a hole in it, and the side was beginning to tear. This one is Hush Puppies and is made of patented leather, or, so the salesman told me. "This is specially crafted for people who wear shoes the whole day, and need that extra comfort," the salesman added.
Mmmmmmm (that's her online identity), an online friend, says that women always look at man's shoes. I guess she's right. They do. I always polish my shoes, and as a rule, don't like dirty, dust-caked shoes. It shows a sloppy attitude.
Mmmmmm says, "A man would wear the best of clothes, and give no thought to how bad his shoes look." How very true! Shows man's Male Chauvinism. But are our roads, sidewalks, public places made for patented leather shoes? Most of it is stones, large aggregate, garbage, and spit. I found myself muttering, "Please don't step on my shoes, for heaven's sake," when I was getting down at Kurla today. I am that paranoid about my new shoes.
But I know they will do it the first time, and the clumsy, bulky guy with a big plastic suitcase did that immediately, as if sensing my thoughts. I gave him the dirtiest look I have ever given anyone in my forty-eight years. And imagine, after this, as I got down from the train at Kurla I stepped into a gob of green, gooey, spit.
Yeeeecccchhh! I wanted to scream. But that isn't very appropriate on a Monday morning on the way to work, spoils the entire day. I rub and rub the soles against the concrete to rid me of the ugly mess sticking to my feet, and feel so sorry for my shoes.
When I narrate this to a friend in the office, he smirks. After all these software developer guys are crude and rough, these geeks, they won't understand. But this one forms complete sentences and is so bookish, he looks like an open book with the pages resembling his unruly, stand-on-end, moppy hair.
"How do you like my shoes?" I ask him hoping for a compliment.
"How much do they cost?"
"Rs. 1999," I feel a bit triumphant.
"Why such expensive shoes? Shoes are meant to be worn on the feet, aren't they?" Typical Hindi-film dialogue, "Jootey kitni bhi mehengi ho, woh pairon par hi pehna jata hai." Sorry, my Hindi isn't perfect.
"Is that why you are wearing those tattered shoes of yours?"
"What else? Why waste money? This pair is five years old. I only change my shoes once in five to six years. Shoes are after all shoes."
Mmmmmm, here's the guy you are looking for, give him a piece of your mind will you? This specimen of Male Chauvinism. I guess he is also the type who would buy cheap quality undergarments and spend the whole day adjusting his crotch.

According to the State Patrol Robert J. Wuensch, 37 of Grafton, was riding a 2005 Harley Davidson motorcycle eastbound on State Route 57. Amy A. Jackson, 35 of Cleveland, was driving a 2002 Sienna Minivan westbound on State Route 57. Jackson reportedly attempted to make a left turn onto Mennell Road when she collided with Wuensch in the intersection.
Chief Bob Richards of the Grafton Township Fire Department said that when Jackson was making the turn Wuensch hit the brakes. "The motorcyclist applied his brakes and laid his bike down, at some time he left the bike and struck the side of the minivan shattering the glass."A long skid mark could be seen along with gouge marks on the roadway leading up to the crash site. Wuensch's bike continued across the intersection coming to rest on the side of the road approximately 50 feet away.
Chief Richards said that with the weather turning nicer more bikes would be out on the roadways. "The motorcyclist enthusiasts want to get out as soon as they can with the nice weather and they're a little rusty from being down for the winter then you combine that with people having not seen bikes on the road for months makes it dangerous." Richards said that another factor is road conditions at this time of the year. "We haven't had any real heavy spring rains to wash the debris off the roadways from winter, the stones and gravel. They are all contributing factors."
Although the crash remains under investigation by the State Patrol they do not believe alcohol or drugs were involved. Wuensch was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
The Medina Post of the State Highway Patrol is investigating a motorcycle crash that occurred late Saturday night at the Medina / Lorain County border. The motorcyclist in that crash laid his bike down in Medina County and crossed over coming to rest in Lorain County. The biker was flown to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland where he was still in surgery at 11 P.M. Saturday night. That biker was also not wearing his helmet at the time of the crash. The Medina Post of the State Patrol is investigating that crash.
