About IKEA
IKEA is perhaps best known for being the store that sells ready-to-assemble flat-pack furniture and home products for the living room, bedroom, bathroom and more. All their stores have free parking when you visit and are accessible for those with disabilities as they provide wheelchairs, assisted shopping and hearing facilities. For any product that you purchase, IKEA offer help with the assembly. You can ask in store about this or call the IKEA customer service team. They also have a home decoration service who can help you design you plan or design the perfect room. Again, customers can enquire about this in store or contact the IKEA customer service phone number above.
The IKEA customer service telephone number is also at your disposal if you wish to cancel, return or amend an order. Cancellations can be made at any time before delivery. You can also return an item within 90 days of delivery for a full refund. You must call as soon as possible if there are changes you want to make to an order. Once it has been confirmed there may be slight delays in the delivery. If you have damaged an item, you may be covered by the FAMILY card insurance.
The company was founded in Sweden by Ingvar Kamprad who started by selling matches aged five and went onto to found Ikea in 1943. Now 87 years of age, he is one of the richest people in the world and has built the IKEA brand into a hugely successful global furniture and home decor retailer. The name IKEA derives from the initials of his name, IK, the farm where he grew up, Elmtaryd, and the name of his hometown Agunnaryd in the South of Sweden.
One of the key guiding principles of the company is their sustainable approach to consumer culture. IKEA reduce shipping costs by refusing to ship air. For example a bookcase will be packed down into a completely flat, solid package, by packaging their products like this shipping cost are considerably reduced and it is far easier for consumers to carry items and even take them on public transport. Their furniture is always flat-packed so that space is not wasted.
All of IKEAs products are designed in Sweden however the majority of the manufacturing is done in developing economies such as China to help keep the end cost down. An IKEA subsidiary called Swedwood handles the production of all of their wood based products, their largest factory is in the South of Poland.
IKEA have also recently moved into the housing market, selling flat pack houses in order to provide first time buyers with an affordable and contemporary living option. The house product, called Boklok, was introduced in Sweden in 1996. There are now a number of sites confirmed in Nordic countries and the UK. These include London, Leeds, Warrington and Liverpool. The houses sell for around £50,000. If you wish to enquire about an IKEA house just call the IKEA customer phone number now and they will be able to put you through to the relevant department.
IKEA generally has blue stores with yellow writing in the colours of the Swedish flag. Their stores are laid out in such a way that the customer is encouraged to walk through the entirety of the store and experience everything rather than in traditional stores where customers can walk directly to the department or section they wish to go to. IKEA stores are also well known for their food markets and particularly their Swedish meatballs.
Ikea customers were left angry over the festive period after deliveries arrived after midnight due to a backlog of orders. The shoppers complained that they had to wait until the early hours for furniture to arrive even though they paid up to £40 for home delivery. One customer was anticipating the delivery of a children's wardrobe by 9pm, but was called by the driver at 10.30pm to say that he was running late. The customer said that she simply could not wait any longer and the driver said that he would deliver the next day. However, after waiting in all day she was called by the driver at 10pm to say that it would arrive in the next hour- eventually arriving after midnight.
Other customers have shared similar tales of anger online, saying that delivery times were 'a mystery' with one saying that they will never use the firm again.
Gerard Bos, Ikea's customer relations manager apologised for the error, saying that 'elements outside the control of the delivery crew' could mean that they were delivered after 9pm.

The popular furniture retailer, IKEA is popping up in unexpected places.
Its latest stunt was in Russia. IKEA moved into a movie house in a Moscow suburb and invited people to a night at the movies with a difference.
Instead of watching the film the regular way, IKEA replaced cinema seats with luxurious beds to cuddle up on.
The idea is part of IKEA Russia's "Wake Up Love" marketing campaign to launch its latest catalogue. They asked visitors what they could do to have more love around them, and one of the popular responses was to 'spend more time together' – hence the idea of creating a home environment in a movie theatre.
This is not the only bright idea IKEA have had. In Australia a partnership with a short-term rental site let IKEA fans finally find out what everyone wonders about – what it's like to spend the night in an IKEA store.
An Ikea outpost in London has created a brand new motivational mirror that will compliment customers on everything from their smile to their outfit and body. The mirror uses built in Kinect sensors to issue praise to people passing, with an audio and text display. The mirror was created because research conducted by Ikea showed that one third of Brits think that they look their worst early in the morning. Using this contraption, Ikea hopes to evoke a more positive body image amongst its customers, improving their days in the process.
Some of the compliments given out in the accompanying promotional video include 'magnificent beard!' and 'have you been working out?'. One delighted man even got a wolf whistle.
He said:
"It was great for me because I never get compliments. I could have stood there all day to be honest."
Some cynics have criticised the stunt by Ikea, but when you see the video there is no denying that it puts a smile on the face of everyone who receives a compliment- surely that can only be a positive thing.
Customer Service Guru is a telephone directory and call routing service and is not connected to IKEA. The direct contact number for IKEA can be found in the public domain or on their official website.

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers have designated outfielder Tony Gwynn Jr. for assignment and recalled outfielder/first baseman Jerry Sands from Triple-A Albuquerque, the team announced Monday.
Gwynn was batting .232 with a team-leading four triples and 17 RBIs in 103 games this season. Gwynn, who is making $850,000 this season, is just 7-for-54 since July 1. He has one year left on his two-year contract and is due to make $1.15 million next season.
The Dodgers have 10 days to trade or release Gwynn. If they do neither and he clears waivers, he could report to Albuquerque.
After acquiring Shane Victorino from the Philadelphia Phillies to play left field last week, the Dodgers have a set outfield with Matt Kemp in center and Andre Ethier in right. The team designated another reserve outfielder, veteran Bobby Abreu, for assignment last week.
Sands has hit safely in his last 10 games with Albuquerque, batting .476 (20-for-42) with six home runs and 21 RBIs since July 27.
Since the All-Star break, Sands leads the Pacific Coast League with nine home runs, a .733 slugging percentage and 28 RBI and ranks ninth with a .372 batting average in 23 games.
This will be Sands' second appearance with the Dodgers this season after hitting .200 in eight games during his first call-up in May. He has a .248 average with four home runs and 27 RBIs in 69 career games with the Dodgers.

The deadline for submission of Know Your Customer (KYC) details by customers holding multiple LPG connections has once again been extended by the Petroleum Ministry.
The deadline has been extended by another 15 days to 30th of November. Earlier too the Petroleum Ministry had extended the deadline by 15 days from 31st of October to 15th of November.
The Ministry has extended the deadline following a request by the government-run oil marketing companies (OMCs) for the same. The OMCs had requested the Ministry to extend the deadline to facilitate LPG customers who had missed the previously announced deadline.
Dealers say the extension of the deadline was required as many customers didn't take the matter seriously till the last day. Moreover, several customers came to know about the KYC requirement only in the first half of November.
Speaking on the topic, a petroleum industry executive said, "Considering the mammoth exercise, the deadline on the request of oil companies has now been extended till November 30."
In the KYC form, customers have to give details like name, date of birth, residential address and also optional information about their bank details. Along with the filled in KYC form, they have to present self-attested photocopies of their ID proof and address.
The drive was launched to extract multiple LPG connections at same address after the government's decision to cap supply of subsidized LPG to six cylinders per household per year.

Item: 77413.01 | Product Details »
- The spline of the Oar Right fits between the horns of an open oarlock to "lock" your oar blade in position for the most effective stroke.
- You can still feather the oar blade by simply tugging the oar in so the spline of the Oar Right clears the oarlock horns, or you can flip the spline up and out of the way for easy feathering.
- For Carlisle and Cataract oars, use the Molded Oar Sleeve with the Oar Right for proper fit.
- The Oar Right clamps securely to the Molded Oar Sleeve (sold separately) with two beefy stainless steel bolts.
- Molded glass fill Nylon construction will give you years of troublefree service.
- Adjusts from 2" to 2 1/4" for Carlisle & Cataraft Oars with Oar Sleeves.

Comments about Convertible Oar Right:
The Convertible Oar Right serves a valuable purpose beyond stabilizing an anchored boat when in the current. I row a raft and hard boat on western rivers, fly fishing for trout. I often share rowing duties with friends who drink my beer and complain about how much they hate oar rights when rowing because they can't feather the oars. The convertible model lets me quickly give them their favored configuration, shut them up and we all get back to fishing. Harmony and social order restored.

Comments about Convertible Oar Right:
I share gear with a couple other people and this works perfectly. The only problem is that the screw is meant to screw the setup to the oar shaft is extremely cheap. Of three oar locks put together by two different people all pre-drilled we had three screws whose heads came off. There was not much torque required for this and I have never seen any other screw do this. It left the headless screw stuck in the oar shaft with no way to get it out without drilling it out.
Good product just don't use their screw.
Comments about Convertible Oar Right:
After years of not having oar rights I now prefer them most of the time. On those occasional super windy days the new convertible oar rights are a great solution to the only problem with the original.

Q:I use these on cataract rope wrapped oars ... they seem to fit very well. As advised, I have not installed the set screw ... the oar rights are simply clamped over the wrapped area of the oar. This has worked fine until a recent run through Warm Springs rapid on the Yampa River. At the moment of truth, the oar right rotated on the oar (I did not hit a rock ... was some serious hydraulics involved, apparently). The rotation feathered out the oar ... I was lucky not to flip in a strong, deep lateral which I was unable to avoid. Anyway, by the time I realized what had happened, the rapid was history. I checked the oar right ... I was able to tighten the screw somewhat ... but in no way was it loose. My question is, do I just torque the hell out of the clamp screws and hope for the best? Or, is there an additional step in the installation (perhaps a layer of thin rubber between the oar right and the rope wrap) that would help prevent this from happening again.
Thanks!Asked on 6/10/2016 by doobinnm from United States
3 answers
A:Just snug them up real good. If you tighten them to much the plastic can fail. If you tighten and have "play" between the ore and the oar right then you may want to consider a piece of rubber as you suggest.
Hope this is helpful
Sent from my iPadAnswered on 6/12/2016 by Anonymous
A:I use them on the plastic sleeved cataract oars IE not oar wrapped.
I use a screw driver that fits perfectly in the screws and torque the screw down and have never had a problem .
I got my driver at Sears Craftsman tool. Important that you get a tool with the proper sized blade that fits perfectly in the screws.

Q:I have Sawyer 7' utility oars with the NRS 1/2" Superton oarlocks. Will this Oar Right fit the horn opening of the 1/2" Superton oarlocks?
Thanks!Asked on 10/26/2014 by Austin from United States
1 answer
A:Austin, the Convertible Oar Right works fine with the Superston oarlocks. However, they are designed to fit oar shaft areas from 2" to 2 1/4" in diameter. If your oars are the Sawyer Standard Utility model, Item # 77276.01, you will need to shim out the oar sleeve to get to that diameter. Give us a call if we can help further, 800.635.5202.Answered on 10/27/2014 by Clyde from NRS

A:Yes, The convertable oar rite will work on wrapped oars. I used a pair
on some rope wrapped Sawyers and it fit just fine.
Hope this helps.Answered on 10/6/2012 by Anonymous
A:Yes, this will work!
I requested Oar Rights on our rented rafts this summer for a Grand Canyon
trip. When we got to the put in, I saw that the rental company (PRO) had
simply attached the oar rights directly over the top of the rope wraps. I
was skeptical, as I've always used oar sleeves with oar rights. but they
worked great - no problems using them throughout the 16 day trip.

Yes. I have rope wrapped Cataract oars as well, and either type of Oar
Right will work over the rope without a sleeve.

Hector Camacho, 50, boxer who lived dangerously, dies
Hector Camacho, a boxer known for his lightning-quick hands and flamboyant personality who emerged from a delinquent childhood in New York's Spanish Harlem to become a world champion in three weight classes, died Saturday in San Juan, Puerto Rico, four days after after being shot while sitting in a parked car. He was 50.
His death was reported by Dr. Ernesto Torres, the director of the Centro Medico trauma center in Puerto Rico, who said Camacho had a heart attack and died a short time later after being taken off life support. He was declared brain dead on Thursday.
The police said Camacho was shot in the left side of the face Tuesday night as he sat in a black Ford Mustang with a friend, The Associated Press reported. The bullet fractured his vertebrae and was lodged in his shoulder when he was taken to the Puerto Rico Medical Center. The friend, Adrian Mojica Moreno, was also killed.
The police said two men fled the scene in a sport utility vehicle, but that no arrests had been made. They said nine bags of cocaine were found in Moreno's pockets and a 10th was found open in the car.
Fighting in bouts sanctioned by professional boxing's myriad organizing bodies, Camacho, who was widely known as Macho Camacho, won titles as a super featherweight (maximum 130 pounds), a lightweight (135 pounds) and a junior welterweight (140 pounds). In his last title bout, at age 35 in 1997, he fought at 147 pounds and lost to the welterweight champion Oscar De La Hoya.
Terrifically agile and fast afoot, Camacho had a sackful of canny tricks gleaned from his teenage years as a street fighter; he was known occasionally to spin his opponents 180 degrees and reach around to punch them from behind. Rather than a slugger, he was a precise, impossibly rapid-fire puncher and deft counterpuncher who early on drew the admiration of the boxer who was then the avatar of hand speed, Sugar Ray Leonard.
"Not only quick, but accurate," Leonard said in 1982 after watching Camacho, then a super featherweight, dispatch Johnny Sato in four rounds. He added: "I told him that people are always asking who's going to take my place. I told him he could."
Fifteen years later, Camacho, who was six years younger than Leonard, ended Leonard's comeback attempt at 40, knocking him out in the fifth round.
In the 1980s and '90s, few boxers were more attention-grabbing than Camacho. He was known for his hairdo, which featured a spit curl over his forehead; his clownish antics at news conferences; his brashness and wit, especially whenever a reporter with a pad or a microphone was around; and his dazzling outfits. He variously entered the ring in a diaper, a Roman gladiator's outfit, a dress, an American Indian costume complete with headdress, a loincloth and a black fox fur robe with his nickname, Macho, stitched across the back in white mink.
"From now on I'm going to dominate this game," he said in an interview with The New York Times in 1985, after he defeated Jose Luis Ramirez to win the World Boxing Council lightweight crown, his second title.
Three years earlier, he had earned $50,000 for whipping Sato. Camacho, who was then 20, acknowledged that this was a lot of money, but he told Sports Illustrated, "A few years ago, if I had met Sato on 115th Street, I would've done the same thing for nothing."
As a teenager Camacho was a brawler, a serial shoplifter, an admitted drug user and a car thief, and he never put that part of his nature behind him. He was arrested numerous times on charges including domestic abuse, possession of a controlled substance, burglary and trying to take an M-16 rifle through customs. This year he turned himself in after a warrant charged him with beating one of his sons. A trial was pending at his death.
Hector Luis Camacho was born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, near San Juan, on May 24, 1962. After his mother, Maria, separated from his father when Hector was 3 years old, they moved to Spanish Harlem. He started boxing at 11 and eventually won three New York City Golden Gloves titles, though after the first one he found himself in a cell at Rikers Island, serving three months for car theft.
At 15, after being thrown out of a number of schools, he entered a Manhattan high school for troubled youths, where he came under the influence of a language teacher, Pat Flannery, who taught him to read and became a father figure, guiding him to the Golden Gloves. Flannery is credited with giving Camacho his nickname.
Camacho won his first professional fight in 1980, and he earned his first title, the World Boxing Council super featherweight crown, by knocking out Rafael Limon in August 1983. His last fight, at 161 pounds, was in 2010 in Kissimmee, Fla.; he won. His professional record was 79-6-3, with 38 knockouts.
Camacho was married once and divorced. His survivors include his mother; his father, Hector; three sisters, Estrella, Esther and Raquel; a brother, Felix; four sons, Hector Jr., Taylor, Christian and Justin; and two grandsons. Hector Jr. is also a professional boxer.

Pakistan's cricket team was fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during its 129-run defeat against Sri Lanka in the second one-day international here on Wednesday.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) said match referee Chris Broad of England imposed the fines after Shoaib Malik's side was ruled to be two overs short of its target when time allowances were taken into consideration.
"In accordance with the ICC code of conduct regulations governing over-rate penalties, players are fined five percent of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time, with the captain fined double that amount," said an ICC statement.
Malik was accordingly fined 20 percent of his match fee while his players received 10 percent fines.
The fine added to Pakistan's miseries after losing the second match, leaving the three-match series tied at 1-1.
Pakistan won the first match in Lahore last Saturday. The final match is in Lahore next Saturday.

Great stress relieving and energizing tea.
This organic ayurvedic tea is really unique and combines the power of India's two most revered herbs: tulsi, or holy basil, and gotu kola. Tulsi, which means in Sanskrit "the incomparable one", is known in India as "the Queen of Herbs" and considered sacred. It's a powerful adaptogen and beneficial in treating stress, anxiety, insomnia, chronic fatigue syndrome, colds, flu, fever, upper respiratory tract infections, tonsillitis, bronchitis, diabetes, asthma, migraines, earache, digestive disorders, gastrointestinal upset, indigestion, colitis, bloating, cramps, heart disease, hepatitis, malaria, tuberculosis, mercury poisoning, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, ringworm, as well as other conditions. Gotu kola famous for its strong anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral and healing properties is used to treat colds, flu, fever, tonsillitis, elephantiasis, pleurisy, tuberculosis, schistosomiasis, urinary tract infections, syphilis, dysentery, cholera, leprosy, asthma, epilepsy, anemia, diabetes, hepatitis, jaundice, systemic lupus erythematosus, stomach pain, diarrhea, indigestion, gastrointestinal ulcers, sunstroke, varicose veins, blood clots, chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety, stress, depression, psychiatric disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and many other diseases and disorders. It's no surprise that this tea energizes and awakens the senses, uplifts mood, flushes toxins out of the body, boosts the immune system, fights infection, facilitates healing, reduces inflammation, relieves pain and swelling of the mucous membranes, improves metabolism and fat burning, boosts energy levels, aids digestion, prevents heartburn and acid reflux, relieves nausea and bloating, improves appetite, heals gastric and intestinal ulcers, soothes the stomach lining, reduces colon inflammation, helps stabilize blood sugar and regulate insulin levels, prevents blood spikes, normalizes blood pressure, lowers triglycerides and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol, protects against strokes, atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease, soothes and heals dry and damaged skin, and even reduces the risk of cancer. It can be used externally, as well. A used tea bag can be applied topically to reduce skin irritation and inflammation, heal wounds, abscesses, sores, insect bites, scars, bruises, cuts, boils, blisters, burns and rashes. A tulsi and gotu kola facial mask or scrub improves the complexion, brightens and evens out skin tone, reduces redness, spots, blotchiness and small lines, helps prevent premature aging. I love this tea: it relieves the symptoms of my acid reflux and gastritis, calms me down and helps me sleep better. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to boost their immune system and improve their overall health and well-being.
I love this tea!

The organic Tulsi tea bags have aluminum staples. When you're steeping your organic tea, you'll also be heating the aluminum staple. Makes a lot of sense. I returned the box after discovering that. Wish they would state that on the box. It makes no sense for an organic product.

The Adobe Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital Photographers
By Scott Kelby
New Riders Press, $54.99 (408 p)
As Adobe releases new versions of Photoshop, Scott Kelby rewrites his authoritative yet chatty manual to the program to address relevant changes and upgrades. The ubiquitous Kelby (publisher and editor of Layers Magazine and Photoshop User Magazine, president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP), founder of Photoshop World conference) has been the #1 Bestselling computer/technology author in the world for the past six years, and he is fantastically prolific - cranking out several new books annually.
The quality of his latest book on Photoshop helps to explain Kelby's success. He takes a very complicated imaging application and manages to distill the most important 'how-tos' for photographers with lively, conversational text and informative illustrations. Kelby takes what might ordinarily be dry subjects (which filter to use when, where to find something in the menu system, what numbers to use as a starting point in a given slider) and explains them clearly, even making them fodder for wacky jokes and flights of fancy.
This latest entry will help photographers harness the power of many additions in Photoshop CS5. For example, the chapter on High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography explains how to use the newly enhanced functionality to create HDR images without needing a third-party plugin. Kelby, ever aware of his audience, also includes a tip or two to mimic the specific look that the old plugins achieved. Another new section includes an explanation of how best to use Content-Aware Fill, the magical new feature within CS5 which lets the software analyze how an image would have looked like if an unwanted object or area had not been in the frame.
|Color correction is one of the indispensable subjects covered in the book. Kelby uses
lively, conversational text and informative illustrations to explain his techniques.
As he has in many previous editions, Kelby also covers the usual indispensable subjects for photographers - resizing canvases, dodging and burning, removing unwanted objects, color correction and more. Despite its tremendous accessibility, Kelby's book is not for everyone. Beginning photographers will be somewhat lost, as Kelby assumes a basic understanding of digital photography. Nor does Kelby expend much ink introducing general concepts in Photoshop use (e.g. layers, masks, and curves), diving right in instead with how to use these tools to achieve various effects.
A familiarity with image editing in general, and even some experience with some version of Photoshop allows for a much more fluid reading of his book. But for advanced amateurs and even pros who need quick and effective techniques for typical image editing in Photoshop, Kelby's work is the standard by which others are judged.

Same experience with the books by Martin Evening. He is not so prolific, only publishing one or two per Photoshop and Elements release, but they are professional books, to be used as handbooks with in-depth information on the whole software package. Additionally, Evening is part of the Adobe development team, so his books are regarded as the gold standard,
Kelby's books, in my oppinion aims at a different market. It's a lot more populist but has an important place, especially for the amateur photographer. It's a lot more instant recipe (in a very good and useful way) as apposed to academic, in depth information. If you can stand the very America gags (personally I find them very distracting) which are often not even funny, you will find his books useful with excellent advice that really works very well. Up to a point, because the recipes does not work for all images and often you wouldn't know exactly why not.
I've found PS books by Martin Evening to be more useful than Scott Kelby books ... more depth and less fluff.
I have a place on my bookshelf for BOTH Evening and Kelby. I like them both and some things become clear after getting hammered home by a couple examples. Martin is a little deeper on much, especially ACR section, and lacks Kelby's jocularity, but I can read past the humor if need be. Upon release of CS6, these will be the two authors I will surely purchase....
The article reads like advertiser's blurb -- no critical content at all.
The book is OK for what it is -- as a "how-to" guide, but many people might wish to also have a "why" guide with more in-depth information which would allow more flexible use of Photoshop.
I am disappointed by this review also. All I learned is that Kelby is the best selling author on Photoshop, the book is easy to read, and it is not for beginners.
I have Adobe's 'CS5 Classroom in a Book' and I am looking for a more complete reference guide to Photoshop CS5, by Scott Kelby or Martin Evening or Lesa Snider. I would like a comparison of these books and others too so I can decide for myself which one to get.
You should mention that he terribly simplifies in order to keep his lectures short and easy-to-consume. Often a procedure could be more precise or more variable by adding one or two steps, such as converting a layer into a smart object - Kelby doesn't care and proceeds with the barebone basics of Photoshopping.
The review is dated Sept 28 2011, but the book has been out for months! Almost bought it but luckily I checked my bookshelf and found that I already have a copy. I'm such a Kelby fan that I usually buy his books on impulse and I almost bought this one again. I did discover that there is a Kindle version available that should look great on an iPad and make it more convenient to access, so maybe I'll buy that one.
I have several photographic books as Kindle versions. I find reading this type of book on a Kindle difficult as the images and their comments frequently are not visible the same time as you are reading the descriptive text.
Otherwise, I agree, the Kindle versions are handy.

Student Views
I love it! I have been exposed to a variety of different subject areas and it has allowed me to choose modules to fit with my own interests. The tutors are great, approachable and friendly. Would recommend to anyone considering doing human geography. Ashley Wilding
I love my Human Geography course because it has made me look at the world around me in a different and more interesting way. I can understand why it is like it is, and what it might look like in the future. It has really opened up my eyes to the different processes which shape our modern society. Rebecca Priest
My course - L700 Human Geography - allows you to look at the world from a different perspective, appreciating the idea of place and the way sense of place shapes everyday life. I now can sit on a park bench and 'people watch'; analysing how people act in public spaces, but under the title of ethnography. Human geography takes into account the spatial relations of areas that have not been considered before, or have been taken for granted. It is like looking through a pair of epistemological glasses.

Dr. Light, his staff as well as the anesthesiologist were amazing. I had a very severe bunion on my right big toe. So severe that the toe was at a 45 degree angle and overlapped the toes adjacent to it. It was painful to walk any distance more than a 1/4 mile and walking barefoot was done at a limp. Three months later, after the bones had fully healed, I can walk and run any distance pain free as well as walk barefoot normally. The procedure was pain free. Do not worry about this at all. You are kept in a twighlight state that can be described somewhat as relaxing. The only pain I experienced post-op was a dull ache the third day that I took Motrin for rather than the prescribed painkillers. I find this amazing since he had to break bones, insert two screws and a wire. Dr. Light and somone from his staff called me that evening and the next day to see how I was doing. I was in a cast and on crutches for six weeks, then in a walking boot for another six then sneakers for six more until Dr. Light was absolutely sure the bones had healed. I highly recommend Dr. Light. He took his time explaining everything, has a great bedside manner and a rather dry wit to keep you relaxed. My only other piece of advice, and has nothing to do with Dr. Light, and that is do not to put off the surgery like I did. It only increases your recovery time. Ask to see Jim G's pictures and x-rays. Pretty amazing.

After several years raw 4th and 5th toes calluses and general toe pain went to see Dr. Light for a remedy. He straightened a toe and shaved bone off the other so they wouldn't rub up against each other when I walked.I was put under by anesthesiologist so procedure was fast. Great recovery only had to wear a special shoe for a few weeks stitches came out then too. Highly recommend this doctor for foot issues. I don't have to deal with what shoes I can't wear anymore plus use things between my toes so they won't rub together.

I had a bunion, Taylor's bunion and hammertoe removed from my left foot back in roughly 2002. Dr. Light performed an excellent surgery and I remember he even called my at home due to it being done on an out-patient basis. I now live in Cape Coral, FL and began have pain on my right foot. The podiatrist here in SWFL even asked who had done my surgery after a thorough exam of both feet. I barely have a scar and have NEVER had a problem since that time. I made a HUGE mistake by not just taking a long weekend and having Dr. Light do my right foot!!! I had surgery here in FL October 2nd and have had problems that are actually worse than before my surgery! My foot still swells and get beet hot red. I found out yesterday there is a fracture along the interior of the great toe near the two pins that were inserted and I now have two horrible scars as well as the outer edge near the pinky toe causes extreme pain. I never had pain on that side to begin with... I had heard horror stories from other people that if they could do it over "They Wouldn't" well I WOULD only if Dr. Light was the one who performed it. If it isn't better within two weeks I'm making the almost 12 hour drive to have him not only guide me forward but a possible surgery to correct these problems. I highly recommend him 110%

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr Light and his staff! I had injured my foot in 2013 and was living out of state at the time and started treatment with a Podiatrist in that area. Upon moving here and getting settled, I was referred to Dr Light. He took his time with me, listened, and read the MRI disk that I brought with me from the other Dr. I knew surgery was my outcome but didn't have enough time to have the surgery before I moved. Dr Light got me in, we discussed the problem and set a surgery date ASAP. He tried a Cortisone shot first which didn't do anything for me, but it was worth a try and I appreciated that. The surgical procedure was a good experience. Everyone is nervous before a surgery, but he and his staff helped to ease my fears and comfort me. Everyone from Dr Light, his nurses, the Anesthesiologist to his receptionists are all courteous, prefessional and compassionate. My foot feels much better now after surgery. The post-surgical care has been just as wonderful and thorough as the pre-surgical visits and care. I highly recommend this podiatry office and staff! I had one issue with my insurance company about paying a bill, I contacted Dr Light's office and they took care of it for me. Everything went smoothly, I can't say enough good things about this office! Thank you Dr Light and staff!

Love this office. The girls are friendly and Dr. Light really knows what he is talking about. The office and surgical center are connected so no going to a hospital for the procedure!! So convenient. Would definitely recommend to anyone have foot or ankle issues. 10+++

After suffering for many years with painful callouses on both of my little toes, I finally succumbed to the advise of my podiatrist and had my little piggies surgically corrected. I wish I had done it years ago! I can now dance the night away! Dr. Light is not only my podiatrist, he is my friend and for the last 18 years, a honorable man I'm proud to have as my Boss! Tina S.

Very unhappy with my services rendered at this location. Called prior to my appointment being scheduled and confirmed that Dr. Mark Light was in network for my insurance plan. Dani confirmed that he was so I made my appointment. Day of service, Dr. Light's bedside manner was less than friendly and now I received an EOB from Humana stating that he is not in network AND he submitted a claim for surgery when all he did was an xray, ultrasound and cortizone shot! Reporting him to Humana right now!

I am very disappointed with this patient's experience. My staff and I strive every day to exceed expectations in regard to professionalism and ethics. The multitude of positive posts here in Kudzu and on many other sites are an indication of how serious we take this issue. I would like to respond to this patient's comments to help to put them in perspective.
I participate with most insurance plans. I am in network with more than 20 insurances. Some insurances like Humana have more than 5 different plans. They do not always inform us when a new plan comes out. Humana has recently come out with a new product that we were not aware of. When we became aware that this patient was out of network, we wrote off her balance, essentially treating her for free with the exception of her co-pay and the cost of inexpensive insoles that she chose to leave the office with. This was done prior to her leaving this post and she is not likely aware that her balance has been completely written off. Though all patients share the responsibility of making sure that their doctors are in network, we decided to accept the responsibility for this patient.
Claims to insurances are billed with CPT codes. These codes are grouped into categories. Some codes fall into what would be considered a surgical category that are not surgery. This patient's Explanation of Benefits (EOB) likely stated the category of surgery and not the specific code that was billed. We only bill for services that are provided and take significant issue with, and dispute any claim of fraud done within my practice.
I believe that most people and patients would consider me "friendly". I would characterize my personality in the office as mostly "business like". I strive to discuss with all patient's what their problem is along with their treatment options. I also provide services, as this patient has stated an x-ray, ultrasound and injection. Because of my attempt to be thorough, I tend to stay on task. This may have come across to her as "less then friendly".
In all of this, there is no mention of the success of my treatment. It is my hope that the care that I provided to this patient aided in her comfort.
Dr. Light has treated every member of my family, from my 6 year old daughter at the time to my 65 yr old mother. He is as kind and gentle a doctor as they come. My 12 yr old son got a piece of glass in his foot today and for the life of me I could not get it out. I called the office for some advice and they had me bring him in, then and there. Dr. Light kept my son at ease and removed the glass as painlessly as possible. I can't say enough good things about him or his practice.

I had been suffering from increasing pain from a neuroma in my left foot for a number of years. I finally broke down and went to Dr. Light on the recommendation of my wife who had been treated by him several years ago. Over the course of a 10-week period of treatment which ultimately led to surgery, my foot is as good as new. I no longer have pain. Three weeks after the surgery, I went backpacking for the first time in a couple of years, hiked 15 miles and had no trouble at all. All I can say is that I wish I had done this three years ago. Thank you Dr. Light and your staff.

Dr. Light removed my bunion. He was honest from the first visit and not pushy. Always professional and informative. The surgery was a complete success. The office staff was friendly and helpful. Couldn't have asked for better.

I'm nominating Dr. Mark Light as the best physician this side of the moon, and his staff too. Dr. Light is professional but cordial. He is very honest and lets you know precisely what your options are. He is not condescending like a lot of other doctors, but caring and compassionate. His staff is competent, caring, and consistent, and works with your schedule in every way possible. I had gone to several orthopedists who refused to do surgery on my foot to correct a bone misalignment, but Dr. Light knew exactly what to do, and the surgery was a success. Thanks to Dr. Light, my gait has been successfully corrected back to normal. I highly recommend this physician and staff. Sincerely, Rosanne Mayo

Dr. Light was brusque, unhelpful, and told me to put my very sore and swollen tendon in water and keep the water cold with ice cubes. He never even palpated the lump on the tendon, or actually touched the area that was in pain. I finally went to an orthopedist who told me I had tears in my tendon, that it could rupture, and put me in a "boot" for almost two months. My advice is to stay away.

I am very disappointed with this patient's experience. My staff and I strive every day to exceed expectations in regard to professionalism and quality of care. The multitude of positive posts here in Kudzu and on many other sites are an indication of how serious we take this issue.
Touching the foot is one of the main things that I believe sets myself apart from other doctors. It is always one of the first things that I do to identify the location of the problem. The location is often one of the main indicators as to what the underlying pathology or problem is. I cannot imagine not placing my hand on their area of concern unless it was not made clear to me where their problem was.
Icing is one of the more common anti-inflammatory forms of therapy. Ice soaking is often a more effective form of icing. When I review treatment options, I will always discuss a range of options. Immobilization in a boot is a common form of treatment for many problems and is often discussed as an option.

What's new:
Dick Kimmel & Co - the band - will officially go on hiatus in January 2017. Dick will be focusing on a new recording and performing with Pamela Longtine. This doesn't mean we won't be performing as a band in the future, but we won't be pursuing nor accepting an active performing schedule.
Dick's latest recording, "Dick Kimmel - Corbett on the Couch" (Dick Kimmel Music CD 2016-01) is now available and receiving excellent review. The recording focuses on Dick's mandolin playing: 15 instrumental cuts (9 are Kimmel originals) and 3 vocal numbers. The supporting musicians include Adam Granger, Bob Bovee, Ian Kimmel, Alan Munde, Dick Kimmel & Co, Bob Black and other musicians that Dick has played with over the years. Reviews have been excellent - Bluegrass Unlimited (September 2016): "...beautiful mandolin tone and technique." Minnesota Bluegrass (August 2016 - "This is the work of a true master."
Dick Kimmel was featured on the cover of August 2016's Minnesota Bluegrass magazine the voice of the Minnesota Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Association with the words, "Dick Kimmel - Minnesota Bluegrass Ambassador." The article entitled "Dick Kimmel: Will The Circle Be Unbroken" by Ann Iijima covers details of Dick's career in music influencing other musicians from Minnesota and especially his musician son, Ian Kimmel.
Dick Kimmel's song, Homeless and Heartbroken, was featured for a video released on Veteran's Day, November 11, 2015. On YouTube the video had more than 1,000 views in the first 4 days and averaged more than 100 views per day for the first month. To see the video, search YouTube for "Dick Kimmel - Homeless and Heartbroken."
Dick Kimmel was featured in May, 2015 for the NUCAT-TV mini-concert, "Off The Shelves." To hear the mini-concert search YouTube for "Dick Kimmel - Off the Shelves."
In May - June 2015 Dick Kimmel's performances crossed 9 time zones, from Prague in the Czech Republic to Coos Bay, Oregon. Dick Kimmel toured Europe in May performing with Texas banjo legend, Alan Munde and Prairie Home Companion regular, Adam Granger. In June and July, 2015, Dick Kimmel toured the Pacific Northwest with his son, Ian Kimmel, and his nephew, bass luthier Seth Kimmel.
In Nashville in February 2015, Dick Kimmel & Co, along with Ian Kimmel and Becky Buller were featured for the SPBGMA showcase of bands and their program "Dick Kimmel's History of Bluegrass Music." Dick has presented this program for more than 40 years throughout North America and Europe.
Thanks for the excellent CD reviews! Comments regarding our recordings include:
Dick Kimmel & Co's latest recording, entitled "Dick Kimmel and Co - Dreamin'" presents a unique collection of songs: driving bluegrass numbers from the masters of bluegrass (Goodbye Old Pal: Bill Monroe and I'll Love Nobody But You: Jim and Jesse) and originals from this band (Homeless and Heartbroken by Dick Kimmel).
A review from an Inside Bluegrass review reported, "Dreamin' is DK&Co's third album, and it exhibits maturity that can only get gained by experience. Its twelve cuts represent the art of the bluegrass genre as it exists...Original-song seekers will appreciate the Kimmel-penned 'Homeless and Heartbroken'...A safe recommend."
Jan Dale from Australia's Southern Style (PBS-FM, www.pbsfm.org.au) writes: "Dick Kimmel & Co just keep getting better and better. Their latest offering Dreamin' has some fine lead vocals and duets...Very accomplished instrumental work, too. Every track is good but I especially love the title track Dreamin', Jesse McReynolds song I'll love nobody but you...and Monroe's Goodbye Old Pal on which Dick shows what a fine yodeller he is. I love this album and enjoy playing it for my listeners."
California Bluegrass Association: "Dick has assembled a fine band with wonderfully blended vocal harmonies and instrumentation ranging from hard-driving to softly melodic...With the deeply heartfelt vocals and stirring messages of hope and redemption, it's hard to believe that the band has never recorded a gospel album before...Definitely a must for fans of well done gospel music."
"Dick Kimmel & Jerilyn Kjellberg - Somebody Loves You Darlin'" (Copper Creek Records CCCD-0245)
For Bluegrass Unlimited, Steve Goldfield
Comments from Letters and Emails
Just wanted to let you know the CDs arrived today. Thanks for getting them out to me so quickly. I spent an enjoyable afternoon listening to them. They are all great, however, I think my very favorite would be the Dreamin' CD. I love it.
- Elaine, Shakopee, MN
What an excellent evening of musical fun
at your cd release at Turner Hall was! The music as well as the onstage
banter provided everyone a wonderfully entertaining night. Kudos also
on a wonderful new cd, I must have listened to Katie Dear a dozen times
already since I purchased the cd.
I heard
"Three Jewels in the Master's Crown" on RFD-TV on March 17. I
thought that the song was very beautiful. I hope to see you
perform again on RFD-TV.
"Chalk up the Dick Kimmel
& Co mini tour of Wisconsin as a total success!! ...they played at
the Copper Grid in Madison, Wisconsin, to a standing room only crowd of
bluegrass fans...The band played and sang hard driving, straight
forward bluegrass music liberally sprinkled with stories and
laughter...My favorite song of the evening was Dick singing the
beautiful old Prisoners Song . Dick sang it tenderly and with
great feeling...Then, he absolutely brought down the house by singing
it like a typical bluegrass band would sing it today--with lots of fire
and speed!!!...After two encores, the crowd reluctantly let them close
the show...It was a stellar evening at the Copper Grid. I know
they will be coming back to Wisconsin soon and when they do, don't miss
their show."
ENDORSEMENTS - Dick Kimmel is proud to endorse:
D'Addario Strings - Dick uses D'Addario strings on all of his instruments. He uses D'Addario EXP17 Guitar Strings, EXP74CM Mandolin Strings, and J61 Medium Gauge Banjo Strings. "The EXP strings have a great sound that maintains itself in between string changes. The best strings I've ever used."
Ramsey Banjos - My main stage banjo these days is a custom 5-string built by Mike Ramsey (Chanterele). It has a 12 inch pot, hoop tone ring, and extremely thin rim with fewer brackets than most banjos. I love the tone and weight.
JR's Claw Picks
- Like
many clawhammer banjo players, I don't have fingernails that will hold up through many
nights of performing. Also, I've found that flatpicking a guitar and
mandolin also wears the right index nail down as well. I had
struggled with various false fingernail concoctions for decades.
JR's Claw Picks sound natural, seat firmly on my finger, and feel
great to play with. For information contact Val Johnson at email@example.com

Harvard Business School launched last week the Precision Trials Challenge, a contest that challenges participants to find a better way of conducting clinical trials during the drug approval process.
A $20 million gift from the Robert and Myra Kraft Family Foundation last November helps fund the contest, which will run through March. The gift, which came during the ongoing University wide capital campaign, was intended to support business oriented research around precision medicine.
The contest aims to gather ideas that make clinical trials cheaper and more efficient. Currently, the Food and Drug Administration's drug approval process can take over ten years and cost from $1.5 billion to $5 billion, Sterling said. About half the cost of drug development comes from the trials, according to Sterling.
"I think the common wisdom is that we can [make clinical trials] more streamlined; we can do it quicker, better, cheaper," Sterling said.
Precision medicine refers to developing treatments specific to a person's individual genotype, according to Cara M. Sterling, director of the Health Care Initiative at the Business School.
"Robert Kraft, having some specific family history related to cancer, and his wife dying of cancer, said that we need to do more research around precision medicine," Sterling said. "He gave his money to the Business School, interestingly, because he feels like a lot of the problems we have today are what we would call 'business model problems.'"
Robert S. Huckman, the faculty co-chair of the Health Care Initiative, said he thinks the science of precision medicine has progressed faster than the business models for bringing that science to the market.
Huckman said that because precision medicine is a new field, innovators in the area have lacked a platform to bring their ideas forward. The contest welcomes people from around the world to submit their ideas through an online application, allowing for necessary interaction between researchers,according to Sterling.
"At the end of the day, organizations are going to have to work together to try to bring these therapies to patients faster—and that's where I would have to imagine the Kraft family felt that a business school could be helpful to some already very inspiring science," he said.
Matt Strickland, co-president of the HBS Health Care Club, praised the challenge and said that while the gift that funded it was "extremely generous," advancing precision medicine is a formidable challenge.
"[The Precision Trials Challenge] is an interesting way to try to come up with something useful with a relatively small amount of money," he said.

This is a removable mount for the Kinect. It should fit very tightly and you can use a flat screw driver to unlock the clips. You can also break them and print the small clips for future use of the mount. It is loosely inspired by Henkka's and Chooch Kinect supports.
I got a very good result on a Replicator 2 using PLA plastic and medium quality preset.
Note that the clip (kb-hook) must be printed lying on a side.
Once you printed 2 clips and the base, push the clips from the bottom up through the base with the clip's hook facing outside.

What size tripod screw is this designed for? 3/8", 1/4", or another size?
Hi leahperl,
It's for a 1/4" screw. The screw height should be 4mm.
I just added the source files (Sketchup) for the support with a slot for a more common 1/4" screw with 5.5mm height.
