Guidelines for clinical practice are intended to suggest preferable approaches to particular medical problems as established by interpretation and collation of scientifically valid research, derived from extensive review of published literature. When data are not available that will withstand objective scrutiny, a recommendation may be made based on a consensus of experts. Guidelines are intended to apply to the clinical situation for all physicians without regard to specialty. Guidelines are intended to be flexible, not necessarily indicating the only acceptable approach, and should be distinguished from standards of care that are inflexible and rarely violated. Given the wide range of choices in any health care problem, the physician should select the course best suited to the individual patient and the clinical situation presented.
These guidelines are developed under the auspices of the American College of Gastroenterology and its Practice Parameters Committee. These guidelines are also approved by the governing boards of the American Gastroenterological Association and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. Expert opinion is solicited from the outset for the document. Guidelines are reviewed in depth by the Committee, with participation from experienced clinicians and others in related fields. The final recommendations are based on the data available at the time of the production of the document and may be updated with pertinent scientific developments at a later time.

II. Definitions
In most review articles on this topic, acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding refers to:
- blood loss from the gastrointestinal tract of recent onset
- emanating from a location distal to the ligament of Treitz
- resulting in instability of vital signs, anemia, and/or need for blood transfusion
This definition is not useful for the purpose of a practice guideline. The source of acute gastrointestinal bleeding is not always apparent from initial history and physical examination. The acute onset of hematochezia is the most common clinical presentation of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding, necessitating hospitalization and immediate evaluation and management. This guideline will focus on the evaluation of hematochezia associated with instability of vital signs, anemia, and/or need for blood transfusion. The limitations in this definition are recognized, as the source of bleeding in a subset of patients with hematochezia will be from the upper gastrointestinal tract, and melena in some patients will be due to a source distal to the ligament of Treitz.
This guideline is not intended for patients presenting with stool that is positive for occult blood, chronic bleeding of obscure origin, or obvious self-limited bleeding where the likelihood of a change in vital signs or anemia is low (e.g., anal outlet bleeding). An algorithm outlining the approach to the adult patient with acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding is presented in Figure 1.

III. Initial Evaluation
A focused history and physical examination is essential in the initial evaluation of the patient with acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Initial laboratory testing should include measurement of complete blood count, electrolytes, type and crossmatch, and coagulation profile.
Historical points to be recorded include:
- the nature and duration of bleeding, including stool color and frequency
- associated symptoms, including abdominal pain, recent change in bowel habits, fever, urgency/tenesmus, weight loss
- relevant past history, including previous bleeding episodes, trauma, past abdominal surgeries, previous peptic ulcer disease, history of inflammatory bowel disease, history of radiation therapy to the abdomen and pelvis, and prior history of major organ dysfunction (including cardiopulmonary, renal, and liver disease)
- current/recent medications (including NSAIDs, aspirin, and anticoagulants), and allergies.
- presence or absence of chest pain/palpitations, dyspnea at rest or on exertion, lightheadedness, or postural symptoms.
Physical examinations should include (at a minimum):
- immediate recording of vital signs with postural changes. A drop of >10 mm Hg or an increase of >10 beats/min in pulse is indicative of acute blood loss of >800 ml (15% of total circulatory blood volume). Marked tachycardia and tachypnea, associated with hypotension and depressed mental status is indicative of a blood loss of >1500 ml (30% circulatory blood volume) (1, 2).
- cardiopulmonary, abdominal and digital rectal examination.
Initial laboratory studies should include:
- measurement of complete blood count; it should be remembered that initial hemoglobin/hematocrit value may not reflect the degree of blood loss due to volume contraction, and may fall significantly after hydration.
- Serum electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen, and creatine. In upper gastrointestinal bleeding, the serum blood urea nitrogen may rise without a commensurate rise in serum creatinine. This appears to be due to absorption of proteins from blood in the gastrointestinal tract, and from dehydration (3–5). However, the absence of a rise in blood urea nitrogen does not rule out an upper gastrointestinal source.
- coagulation profile (PT/PTT), particularly if there is any history of liver disease or if the patient has been taking anticoagulant medication
- type and crossmatch
- electrocardiogram for patients >50 yr of age, younger patients with risk factors for coronary artery disease or history of dysrhythmia, or patients with chest pain/palpitations associated with the bleeding episode
Resuscitative measures and an appropriate level of patient monitoring must be established before diagnostic testing or specific therapeutic intervention. Intensive monitoring and care is appropriate for the patient with instability of vital signs not responding to initial resuscitative measures. Initial admission to an intensive care unit is also appropriate for the patient at risk for complications from comorbid illness.
The goal of resuscitation is the restoration of euvolemia and resultant stability in vital signs. Resuscitative measures include initial fluid administration via large bore intravenous catheters. The amount of transfusion of red blood cells and blood products must be individualized. There are potential adverse effects of blood transfusion; the goal of transfusion should be to minimize the risk of complications due to red blood cell loss and/or correction of coagulopathy, and not to transfuse to an arbitrary level of hemoglobin/hematocrit.
The treating physician must consider several factors when determining the immediate disposition of the patient (i.e., admission to intensive care unit, monitored bed, regular hospital bed, clinical decision unit, or outpatient management). Kollef et al. stratified patients with acute upper or lower gastrointestinal bleeding into low risk and high risk for adverse outcomes during the hospitalization. Among the characteristics of the group at high risk for adverse outcomes were: a greater prevalence of comorbid illness (renal, hepatic, pulmonary, hematological, neurological, or cardiac), a lower serum albumin, a higher prothrombin time, and a higher serum bilirubin (6). Admission to the intensive care unit or other monitored setting is appropriate for those individuals not responding to initial resuscitation measures (i.e., persistent hypotension/tachycardia and need for transfusion). Thibault et al. reported on a total of 2693 consecutive patients admitted to an intensive care unit. Four percent of admissions were for gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Patients remained in the intensive care unit for an average of 3 days, and in the hospital an average of 15 days. In hospital mortality for this group was 15%. The authors stress the role of the intensive care unit not only for the patient requiring acute intervention, but for monitoring and the early detection of clinical deterioration (7). Initial monitoring in an intensive setting is reasonable for the patient with significant comorbid illness, even if vital signs have stabilized with initial resuscitation.
IV. Determination of the Source of the Bleeding
Some of the common etiologies for acute gastrointestinal bleeding with hematochezia are listed in Table 1. In most clinical series, the majority of patients presenting with hematochezia are >60 yr. Whereas the recommendations for structural evaluation below can be applied to most clinical situations, there are circumstances in which it is appropriate to alter the order of tests to focus on a highly likely cause for bleeding. For example, for the patient in the third or fourth decade of life presenting with maroon colored stool, evaluation for a Meckel's diverticulum might be performed very early in the structural evaluation. A patient with hematochezia who had undergone colonoscopy and removal of a sigmoid colon polyp 3 days previously may require no structural evaluation if bleeding stops spontaneously.

In the patient with hematochezia, an upper gastrointestinal bleeding source must be considered. A nasogastric aspirate showing copious amounts of bile and negative for blood makes an upper gastrointestinal source unlikely. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy should be performed if the results of nasogastric aspiration shows evidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, or is negative for blood and bile.
Patients with hematochezia most frequently bleed from a colonic source. However, when bleeding is brisk, an upper gastrointestinal source of bleeding may present as hematochezia. In a clinical series by Jensen and Machicado, 11% of patients initially suspected of having lower gastrointestinal bleeding actually had an upper gastrointestinal source (13). Placement of a nasogastric tube should be performed in patients with hematochezia. The presence of a bloody aspirate confirms the presence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The absence of blood does not rule out upper gastrointestinal bleeding, as blood from a duodenal source may not reflux into the stomach. Luk et al. found that nasogastric aspiration was 98% accurate in detection of bleeding duodenal ulcers (14). Cuellar et al. performed nasogastric aspiration just before endoscopy in 62 patients with apparent upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. One of 18 patients (6%) with a nonbloody, yellow-green aspirate had a duodenal ulcer at endoscopy (15). In the aforementioned series from Jensen and Machicado, nasogastric aspiration was diagnostic in the patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (13). Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy should be performed if the results of nasogastric aspiration shows evidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, or is negative for blood and bile. Particularly in the setting of hematochezia leading to hemodynamic compromise, it is reasonable to perform upper endoscopy as the initial endoscopic evaluation unless a copious amount of nonbloody bile is recovered from the nasogastric tube while the patient is actively passing red blood per rectum.
Endoscopy (colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy) is the test of choice for the structural evaluation of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Arteriography should be reserved for those patients with massive, ongoing bleeding when endoscopy is not feasible, or with persistent/recurrent hematochezia when colonoscopy has not revealed a source. There is no role for barium enema in the evaluation of acute, severe hematochezia.
The results of the largest clinical series using colonoscopy in the evaluation of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding are summarized in Table 2. The overall yield of colonoscopy ranged from 69–80% (13, 16–18). The standard method of evaluation in these series was to perform anoscopy or retroflexed view of the distal rectum to exclude an anorectal bleeding source, then proceeding proximally until the lesion responsible for bleeding was encountered. In the largest clinical series by Rossini et al., total colonoscopy was necessary in only 133 of 409 cases (33%); a bleeding lesion distal to the cecum was encountered in the other cases. The most common site of bleeding was the left colon, and the most commonly encountered lesions were ulcerated carcinomas and diverticular disease (16). It must be remembered that visualization of a nonbleeding potential bleeding site (e.g., nonbleeding hemorrhoids or diverticulum) does not exclude the presence of more proximal pathology.

Colonoscopy is generally safe in the setting of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding, as long as the patient has been sufficiently resuscitated before the procedure. Of the 549 colonoscopic examinations summarized in Table 2, only one endoscopic complication (perforation of a diverticulum) was reported. In two of these four clinical series, a colonic purge was administered before endoscopic examination; in the other two series, colonoscopy was performed without prior preparation. The colonic purge used in these clinical series was polyethylene glycol solution over >=2 h, until the effluent was clear. A nasogastric tube can be used to administer this solution if the patient is unable to tolerate it by mouth. There are no data to suggest that a colonic purge will reactivate or increase the rate of bleeding. There are no studies indicating the exact optimum timing of colonoscopy in the setting of acute hematochezia. In those patients who have bled and apparently stopped, it is reasonable to administer the prep and perform the examination on an elective or semielective basis. For those patients with continued hematochezia, the examination should be performed as soon as possible.
Endoscopic therapy includes the use of thermal coagulation (including heater probe, bipolar/multipolar coagulation, and laser therapy), and injection of vasoconstrictors and/or sclerosants. All of these methods appear effective in controlling bleeding. In the absence of comparative studies, no specific recommendations can be offered as to which endoscopic treatment method is preferable. Laser therapy is the least practical, as these examinations are frequently performed at the patient's bedside, making the Nd-YAG laser unavailable. In addition, complications of treatment of vascular ectasia with Nd-YAG laser may be more frequent than with other methods of therapy; Rutgeerts et al. reported a 10% complication rate in their series (19). Endoscopic treatment can clearly be provided for vascular lesions, bleeding from polypectomy sites, and some colonic ulcers (20–23). Recently techniques of coagulation of arteries within bleeding diverticula have been described (23).
Arteriography may also be performed in the patient with acute lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The results of the largest clinical series using arteriography in the evaluation of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding are summarized in Table 3. The overall yield of arteriography was 40–78% (24–28). When a source of active bleeding is identified, surgery may be performed, or arteriographic techniques to provide hemostasis (including injection of intraarterial vasopressin, or superselective embolization with materials such as gelatins or oxidized cellulose) employed. Gomes et al. compared vasopressin to embolization with gelatin-sponge particles in patients with active bleeding, and found initial success rates of approximately 70% in both categories. Four of 16 patients treated with vasopressin rebled during or after the infusion (29). Guy et al. report a success rate of 90% in controlling acute bleeding with use of superselective embolization with polyvinyl alcohol particles (30).

As noted in Table 3, the reported complication rate for diagnostic arteriography in acute gastrointestinal bleeding is approximately 2–4%. Potential complications of this technique include contrast allergy, contrast induced renal failure, bleeding from arterial puncture, or embolism from dislodged thrombus. There are additional potential complications of arteriographic therapy for acute bleeding. In the previously mentioned series from Gomes et al., complications of vasopressin occurred in eight of 23 patients (35%), and in four of 24 (17%) of patients treated with embolization. Many of these complications were minor and self-limited, but major complications included gangrene of the toes in one patient, infarction of bowel in one patient, and formation of a duodenocolic fistula in one patient (29). Myocardial ischemia is another potential side effect of intraarterial vasopressin infusion. Given the overall lower diagnostic yield of arteriography compared with colonoscopy, the need to transport the patient to the radiology suite, and the apparently larger complication rate of arteriography compared with colonoscopy, it is reasonable to recommend colonoscopy over arteriography as the test of choice for structural evaluation of the patient with acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Arteriography should be reserved for those patients with massive, ongoing bleeding where endoscopy is not feasible, or with persistent/recurrent hematochezia where colonoscopy has not revealed a source.
There are a variety of nuclear medicine scans that can be used for the evaluation of the patient with gastrointestinal bleeding. A commonly utilized scan currently is the 99mTcpertechnetate labeled RBC scan. Although during arteriography the rate of bleeding necessary to detect extravasation into the bowel from the bleeding site is estimated to be 1–1.5 ml/min, bleeding rates as low as 0.1 to 0.4 ml/min are reportedly detectable with this technique (31). In a number of clinical series, the likelihood of a positive scan performed in the evaluation of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding ranges from 26% to 72% (32–37). There is considerable discrepancy in the literature with respect to the accuracy of a positive scan in detecting the true anatomic site of bleeding. Suzman et al. found that of 37 patients undergoing surgery for persistent lower gastrointestinal bleeding with a positive nuclear medicine scan preoperatively, 36/37 (97%) bleeding sites were accurately localized by the scan (32). However, Hunter and Pezim found a localization error of 25% in patients undergoing technetium 99m-labeled red cell scans in the evaluation of lower gastrointestinal bleeding (37). Given the overall lower diagnostic yield of nuclear medicine scanning compared with colonoscopy, the need to transport the patient to the radiology suite, and the possible inaccurate localization of the site of bleeding, it is reasonable to recommend colonoscopy over nuclear medicine scanning as the test of choice for structural evaluation of the patient with acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding. One possible role for this technique is as a screening test immediately before arteriography, as patients with a negative bleeding scan will generally have a negative arteriogram at that point in time (37). However, a potential limitation to this approach is that in the time required to perform the nuclear medicine scan, the patient may stop actively bleeding, eliminating the opportunity for arteriography to have definitively localized the bleeding source. No randomized trials compare the efficacy of arteriography alone to arteriography preceded by nuclear medicine scanning in the patient with active lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
Patients with persistent or recurrent lower gastrointestinal bleeding may require surgery. Accurate presurgical localization of the bleeding site improves postoperative morbidity and mortality.
In a review by McGuire, 82 of 108 episodes (76%) of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding due to diverticular disease stopped spontaneously. Virtually all patients requiring <4 U of blood transfusion in a 24-h period spontaneously stopped bleeding. However, for patients requiring >4 U of blood in that time period, the likelihood of surgery was 60%. In those patients in whom the bleeding site was identified preoperatively, only 4% of patients subsequently experienced recurrent bleeding from another colonic diverticulum. However, in seven patients without preoperative localization undergoing colectomy and ileoproctostomy, four developed anastomotic leaks, with a mortality of 29% (10). Other series have noted significant morbidity and mortality with subtotal "blind" colectomy for treatment of massive bleeding where preoperative localization of the bleeding site was unsuccessful (38, 39). Uden et al. also found that preoperative studies localizing the site of colonic bleeding allowed limited resection, with reduced mortality (40). Use of endoscopic and radiologic studies in an attempt to localize the site of bleeding should be performed in all cases of lower gastrointestinal bleeding, with the very rare exception of exsanguinating colonic bleeding, where immediate surgery (and usually subtotal colectomy) must be performed.
In cases of lower gastrointestinal bleeding where no plausible colonic source is identified, evaluation of the small bowel may be necessary. Evaluation for a Meckel's diverticulum should be performed in younger patients with acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Enteroscopy and small bowel radiography may also be performed in the patient in whom active bleeding has ceased.
There are circumstances in which an upper gastrointestinal source of bleeding has been ruled out, and colonoscopy reveals no plausible source of bleeding from the colon. A small bowel bleeding source should be sought. Further evaluation depends upon the clinical situation. In circumstances of continued or recurrent hematochezia, arteriography (with or without antecedent nuclear medicine scanning) may localize the bleeding site. In some circumstances in which bleeding is ongoing and the aforementioned studies are negative, laparotomy and intraoperative endoscopy may be indicated.
In circumstances where hematochezia has ceased and vital signs have clearly stabilized, other structural studies of the small intestine may be undertaken. Endoscopic evaluation of the small intestine is frequently accomplished with "push" enteroscopy, where a long colonoscope or dedicated endoscope (insertion tube length 160–300 cm) is advanced per os into the small intestine. Push enteroscopy confers the advantage of biopsy of mass lesions or therapy for bleeding. In a clinical series by Foutch et al., 38% of patients with obscure bleeding had a lesion identified in the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum on push enteroscopy. Vascular ectasias were most common (41). There are no data on the use of this technique in the evaluation of acute, hemodynamically significant lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Sonde enteroscopy involves passive migration of a small diameter endoscope through the small intestine; examination occurs as the endoscope is withdrawn. A sonde enteroscope may migrate further into the small intestine; however, this technique offers a limited view of the luminal surface due to a lack of tip deflection, and no therapy or biopsy can be performed. Again, most clinical experience with this technique is for the evaluation of obscure bleeding.
Meckel's diverticulum should always be considered in younger patients with lower gastrointestinal bleeding. The reported sensitivity and specificity rates for nuclear medicine scanning for Meckel's diverticulum are 85% and 95% respectively (42–44). These lesions, as well as some other structural lesions of the small intestine including mass lesions, ulcers, and Crohn's disease, may be detected by barium contrast studies of the small intestine. The literature suggests that small bowel enema techniques (enteroclysis) may have an increased diagnostic yield over standard small bowel follow-through series (45, 46).

Recognizing the need for a ready-made test bench for its line of transceiver modules, Reflex Photonics introduces a complete line of Optical Tester for BER measurements on the LightABLE™ SR4 and SR12 rugged embedded transceivers and optical interconnects.
Currently, Reflex Photonics offers these different optical test instruments:
• Optical Tester SR4 40G (Enables BER measurement)
• Optical Tester SR12 120G (Enables BER measurement)
• Optical Generator/Tester SR12 120G (Generates PRBS and includes BERT capability)
The Reflex Photonics Optical Testers will speed up the LightABLE performance validation and confirm successful integration into your system as it enables BER and eye diagram tests over the SR4 and SR12 transceivers. In addition, those products will enable your communication system BER assessment.
The Optical Generator/Tester integrates a PRBS (pseudo random bit signal) generator and an embedded BER measurement capability. This instrument acts like a BERT as it will directly perform optical communication system BER assessment. It will also act as an optical cross-connect OXC.
Dr. Jocelyn Lauzon, V.P. Engineering at Reflex Photonics adds:
These products offer an efficient, proven, and elegant ready-made solution that takes the guesswork out of testing performance and functionality of Reflex Photonics' LightABLE.
Obviously, you can do the characterization of our transceiver, but if you replace the loopback cable by a bi-directional parallel optic communication system, the Optical Tester can be used to characterize the performance of a whole communication system. The communication bit rate and protocol can be changed, so the Optical Tester can be used to test different system architectures.

Services aren't simple, and rarely ever the same. People have different expectations of how services should be carried out and sometimes people can simply make mistakes. On rare occasions, there may be issues you may run into where you aren't happy with the outcome of the service provided by the Tasker that you have chosen.
In these instances parties usually come to a mutual agreement, however in some circumstances there might be a disagreement about what should happen next.
In these cases, it helps when you, as a Poster, have described the task scope clearly and with sufficient details. The comments and private messages on the Airtasker platform between the members also help to define what has been agreed between the parties so we encourage you to record this via messaging on the platform and be as specific as possible in your communications regarding the task.
Please keep in mind that the Tasker selected by the Poster is an independent contractor engaged under a Task Contract directly with the Poster via the platform. Taskers are not our employees, therefore Airtasker does not control how they undergo their work nor the quality that is delivered by them. However the Airtasker Support Team is here to assist you where they can in resolving a disagreement with the other member.
So what happens if there's an issue or disagreement regarding a task that is currently being completed?
Make a sincere effort to resolve directly with the other member (required & recommended).
You must first try to resolve the matter with the other party directly. This is the fastest way to resolve a dispute. Most issues are usually resolved this way. By having an open discussion and working it out reasonably, it saves both parties time and effort involved in having to escalate the matter further
- Example 1: Peter is a cleaner selected by Sarah via Airtasker. When Peter performed the assigned cleaning task, Sarah found that the house was not cleaned to her requirements. She had made sure that her requirements were clearly documented in her task description and also in instructions provided to Peter via comments and private messages on the Airtasker platform . She also had witnesses and photographic proof of the incomplete work. Peter also provided photos of the areas that he did clean. After openly discussing the matter, Sarah and Peter agreed to adjust payment to 75% of the Task Price taking into account the incomplete portion of the task. Both parties agreed to the fair compromise and the matter is settled amicably. They contacted Airtasker to request the Task Price adjustment and Peter received payment for the task to cover the portion of work completed by him whilst Sarah received a partial refund.
Mediation with support from Airtasker.
If an amicable solution is not reached, an Airtasker mediation specialist can assist as a neutral party.
They will work together with both parties and aim to facilitate a reasonable outcome for all involved.
We appreciate your cooperation to work through the mediation process as Airtasker is here to help, but both parties need to actively support the process too. This will provide the best opportunity to reach an agreeable outcome.
To begin the mediation process please contact us here.
Some examples of reasonable outcomes via the mediation process:
- Example 2: Grant was selected by Sam to complete a gardening task. The task took longer than Grant expected and he assumed that Sam was going to pay more for the work. However Sam was not around so Grant did not get agreement before staying longer to complete the work. When Grant requested additional payment, Sam declined on the basis that the additional work was not approved in advance. They decided to ask for mediation assistance by contacting Airtasker. After reviewing the matter and seeing that there was no documented agreement in Airtasker private messages between the two parties on additional payment, it was recommended that no extra payment should be made by Sam to Grant. Grant was advised to obtain confirmation from the other party if additional payment is expected.
- Example 3: Sophie assigned a task to Mike for handyman work but had to cancel the task due to a personal emergency. Unfortunately Mike was not notified in time and was already waiting at the property where the work was to be completed. Mike requested partial payment to cover the time and petrol spent in travelling to the task. Sophie declined as this was not agreed in advance. Mediation assistance was requested by both parties by contacting Airtasker. After reviewing the matter and determining that there was no documented prior agreement between the two parties on the Airtasker platform regarding these type of costs, it was recommended that no payment should be made.
Arbitration via external provider (costs involved).
If the recommended outcome from mediation is not accepted by both parties, the next step would be arbitration at your own cost. Please note that the costs associated with arbitration could exceed the value of the task, so it's in the interest of all parties that we sort it out amicably before getting to this stage.

Lip Filler
Volbella is used both within and around the lips. Used around the lips it helps to reduce the fine wrinkles which sometimes causes lipstick to bleed.
Lips are a key part of the face. Younger women have fuller lips and we know that volume is lost over time. Fuller lips are subconsciously seen as a sign of youth and vitality.
With Volbella you don't need to worry, we talk you through the treatment gently. The whole process takes less than 30 minutes. Once it settles you will have soft, slightly plumper lips that look and feel natural.
With Volbella you also have the reassurance of knowing that in the unlikely event of you not liking the result, Volbella can easily be dissolved away.

With a low price and hefty specs, the Nexus 10 seems like a special tablet, on paper. But when you put it to the test, you're likely to find that the high-end Google tablet is worth the price though not something you would brag about to friends.
The Nexus 10 is the flagship high-end Android tablet of the season. It has a starting price of $399 for a 16-gigabyte model and features a 10-inch screen with a 2,560 by 1,600 pixel resolution and 300 pixels per inch density.
It sounds like a better deal than what you get from Apple for its $499 16 GB, 9.7-inch iPad, which has a 2,048 by 1,536 resolution and 264 ppi. But once in use, the Nexus 10 does feel like its worth about $100 less than its Apple rival.
I tested out the Nexus 10's display and compared it with the third-generation iPad and each time the Apple tablet won.

The City of Winder has reached a lease agreement for the building at 89 East Athens Street formerly occupied by Lanier Technical College.
Under the agreement approved Thursday by City Council, the city will lease the roughly 20,000-square-foot, two-story building for five years to LAB P.I., LLC, an entity of the VanKirk Corporation, at an annual rate of $10,500. The entire $52,500 lease amount was to be paid upfront.
The company plans to have office spaces in the building, which has been unoccupied since December when Lanier Tech relocated its offices to the Wimberly Center for Community Development. LAB P.I. will be responsible for all utilities and agreed upon maintenance of the building.
The agreement includes an option for the company to purchase the property for $1.3 million, the value it was appraised at in June.
Also under the agreement, LAB P.I. reserves the right to sub-lease all or part of the leasable space in accordance with city zoning. If the property were to be purchased, the city intends to maintain ownership of the parking area and provide for public parking.

Earth Dreams of Easter
by Carlos M. Rodriguez
by Carlos M. Rodriguez
Caterpillar dreams of lazy flights and wings
We are not yet butterflies.
A grandfather's promise
Mine and yours
Saline pools of heaven
Lady bug dancing
Holding up the sky.
Reach with me now:
I will lay low over the still water
as it drowns in me all that is not life.
Join with me now:
Baptism de nuevo...
Easter de nuevo...
Sun-rise (sun-ticklings) de nuevo...
Resisting Suns
Easter Truths
New songs and new singing-
Walls crumbling-chains into instruments- weapons into plows- south, north, east,west.
Triumphantly tricking democracy's traitors-
even the heavens and their angels lend their lady bug and butterfly help.

Need help deciding which RainWise product is right for you?
Tell us who you are:
Anodized Aluminum Rain Gauge
The RainWise model RGA industrial tipping bucket rain gauge is constructed from anodized aluminum and stainless steel to provide years of precision recording of rainfall data. The tipping bucket is molded from a specially-formulated plastic that has a very low surface tension coefficient. The weight of the water required to make the bucket tip produces a momentary switch closure that is equal to 0.01 inch/0.25mm of rainfall. This momentary pulse may be used in a system to determine either rainfall amount and/or rate. The same tip that produces the pulse also dumps the bucket so that the gauge never requires emptying. The tipping bucket sensor is mounted on stainless steel instrument bearings and housed in an anodized aluminum case.

Berlin, Germany – At this year's Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) in Berlin, Germany, Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) is presenting new innovations that empower consumers to take an active role in managing their health and well-being to get the most out of life.
At Philips Kitchen Appliances, we believe that fresh and tasty homemade food is essential to healthy and happy living, and that making better nutritional choices doesn't mean you have to compromise on taste. Healthy and tasty food should be an easy choice and convenient to prepare to fit today's busy lifestyles.

Philips Avance Airfryer XXL

Now you can still treat yourself to the wonderfully tasty fried food you love, but with a minimum amount of fat. The brand new Philips Airfryer XXL with fat removal technology is the most powerful Airfryer ever made , helping you to prepare yummy but healthier food at home.
By combining a powerful heater and motor (2225W) with new Twin TurboStar technology, the hot air in the Airfryer XXL swirls fast, like a tornado – throughout the entire cooking basket. This extracts fat from food, whilst still sealing in the juices and flavor, and captures it all in the fat reducer at the bottom of the Airfryer – so you can just throw out the fat! The result is mouthwatering, perfectly cooked food that is wonderfully crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Taking the hassle out of cooking dishes for all the family, the extra-large size of the new Philips Airfryer XXL means you can easily prepare a meal for all of the family – from a sumptuous whole chicken, to 1.4kg of fresh fries in one go. With no need to preheat the appliance, tasty food can be prepared in less time. The five cooking presets, temperature control of 40-200°C and QuickControl dial give you full control throughout the cooking process; and a Keep Warm Function guarantees popular dishes are cooked to perfection and can served at any time . Furthermore, The QuickClean basket with non-stick mesh takes the stress out of cleaning up.
NutriU App for Airfryer
Make the most of your Philips Airfryer with recipes, tips and personal recommendations. The NutriU app helps you to master the basics with tips and instructions for new users. Then there are hundreds of recipes to roast, grill and even bake — which are searchable by ingredient, cuisine, prep time and special diets. You can easily save your favorite recipes and follow the users who create them — you'll never miss a dish from a cook you trust.
Philips Innergizer high speed blender
Revolutionizing the blending experience, the Philips Innergizer high speed blender makes it easy to increase your daily intake of fruits and vegetables by preparing deliciously healthy smoothies. Its innovative ProBlend Extreme nutrient release technology unlocks 97% of nutrients from fruit and vegetables, making them available to be absorbed by your body . With 2000 watts and motor speeds up to 45000 RPM, the Innergizer pulverizes hard ingredients to break cell walls and release higher amounts nutrients. So you can get all the nutrients and fiber you need to give your day an extra boost.
Philips Avance Collection Masticating Juicer
Designed to squeeze the goodness into every drop of homemade juice, the Philips Avance Collection Masticating Juicer uses unique MicroMasticating technology to ensure healthy, great tasting results every day, with minimum fuss. Thanks to the small but powerful masticating gears, you can now squeeze up to 90% of the fruit going into your drink, releasing all the goodness from it. This unique technology shreds ingredients into small parts, which are then crushed and put under high pressure to unlock thousands of tiny cells, each packed with vital vitamins, nutrients and fiber.

I am not a huge fan of Letterman, or of talk shows in general. I never really have been, but Tina Fey has never been one too disappoint. And while not everyone may agree with her decision to strip as her send off to Letterman, there is no one who can say that it was just another "good bye" show lol

The Walt Disney Studios and Quebec City's Hotel de Glace (Ice Hotel) Unveil a Special Experiential "FROZEN" Themed Guest Suite and Activity Cave for the 2014 Winter Season
Jan 17, 2014, 09:00 ET
BURBANK, Calif., Jan. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Walt Disney Studios has unveiled the first images from the Frozen-inspired suite at Quebec City's famed Hôtel de Glace, in celebration of Disney's "FROZEN" Blu-ray & Digital HD release.
Created entirely out of sculpted ice and snow and supervised by the film's art director Michael Giaimo, the "Frozen Suite" is modeled after Anna & Elsa's bedrooms. The collaboration will also include a "Frozen Activity Cave" bringing the wonder of Disney's wintry tale to life like never before. The suite will be unveiled this weekend and remain open through March 23.
About Disney's Frozen
Walt Disney Animation Studios, the studio behind "Tangled" and "Wreck-It Ralph," presents "FROZEN" a chilly twist on one of the most humorous and heartwarming stories ever told. "FROZEN" is an adventure that delivers a fresh and contemporary take on Hans Christian Andersen's classic winter myth "The Snow Queen," features an ensemble cast of fun and entertaining characters, including a comedic snowman brought to life by magic, as they embark on an exciting journey to save the kingdom from eternal winter and bring back summer!
Fearless optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) sets off on an epic journey—teaming up with rugged mountain man Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) and his loyal reindeer Sven—to find her sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf (voice of Josh Gad), Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.
The film is directed by Chris Buck ("Tarzan," "Surf's Up") and Jennifer Lee (screenwriter, "Wreck-It Ralph"), who also wrote the screenplay. It is produced by Peter Del Vecho ("Winnie the Pooh," "The Princess and the Frog"). Featuring original songs from Kristen Anderson-Lopez ("In Transit," "Winnie the Pooh") and Tony® winner Robert Lopez ("The Book of Mormon," "Avenue Q"), and an original score by Christophe Beck ("The Muppets," Oscar®-winning short "Paperman").
Bring home Disney's "FROZEN" on Digital HD & 3D February 25th and Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD & On-Demand March 18th — featuring a blizzard of never-before-seen bonus extras with gorgeous animation, memorable characters and unforgettable music. It's dazzling fun for the whole family!

Come on Bob I sent you a least 2 emails with my full name and did not get a reply.Why are you so elusive. Why do I have to use this blog?
Anonymous on 10/10/2012
Hey Bob were is my rent receipt , you would think with the $100 membership fee that I let you keep after I moved out . Would at least entitle me to my rent receipt for the few months that i lived at the co-op with the never set in stone rules that change at the flick of a thump.
Robert A. Wiseman, Manager on 08/28/2012
There are several reports for this building that have nothing to do with bedbugs. They also reflect a complete ignorance of how a housing co-op operates, so they have been filed either by someone who doesn't live here, and therefore knows nothing about the building, or someone who lived here for a short time and did nothing to learn about the co-op.
There is a system for complaints, which obviously the person who wrote about the unit where partying was supposedly happening knows nothing abou
t. As Manager here I haven't seen any complaints.
The anonymous post on 04/30/2012 refers repeatedly to tenants and landlords. Hello...this is a housing co-op - you are the landlord fool.
I also have to say that it is cowardly to post without putting your name into the complaint. It shows why 'anonymous' complaints shouldn't be allowed too, since the comments are, in my opinion, defamatory. Show some courage and post your name. I am.

At apt 503 smell of cat urine on the floor and loud music late at night. Constant yelling late at night. Tenant at Apt 503 spitting in the elevator.

Main and Gerrard co-op is in fact run by a "bully" named Bob Wisemen. In stead of treating the bed bug problem from the beginning, he ignored people and asked that they bring him a bug as proof. The bites were not substantial enough for him. Bob was too busy using the Co-op credit cards to buy books off Amazon to do his job as usual.
Do not move to this place unless you want to live with bed bugs that will not be controlled unless you kiss Bob's butt. Join a committee an
d do nasty deeds for him.
Robert A. Wiseman, Manager on 02/12/2011
This update is to give you the truth about our Co-op. We had bedbug sniffing dogs in and we are almost completely free. We have two units that may have bedbugs out of 102, which is such an improvement over last year when the dogs came through that as a community we are really happy. The members worked hard and that has paid off.
Robert A. Wiseman, Manager on 02/10/2011
February 10, 2011
Well, two more posts, both negative and both anonymous. I would seriously like the people who run this website to consider the libel laws in allowing anonymous posts of this type.
Regardless, I have to wonder why such unhappy people still live here if it is so terrible?
In the past two years I have worked with real members of the Co-op, those who are trying to build the community while these posters are trying to destroy it, to deal with the serious problem of bedbug
s. We have spent a great deal of time and money on solving the problem. As proof of that we are bringing bedbug sniffing dogs in today to check to see if our measures are effective. Most importantly, the members of the Co-op have worked hard and put up with a lot in making the adjustment to protecting agains these bug.
Stein on 02/05/2011
Building management Robert Wiseman (aka bully) would have you believe that bed bugs problems have been solved. I just received a letter from the management that they will be coming to our apartment AGAIN to check for bed bugs with dogs!
While they are "looking" for bed bugs in your apartment you are asked to stay out -- because of the dog. The guy from the last company stole our visa card.
I would recommend a homeless shelter before this place. I would NOT recommend this place to my worst
enemy. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone, at any time, for any reason whatsoever!!!
ITCHY AND FED UP!! on 01/11/2011
This building is HELL DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!!! The bugs are and have been a HUGE problem for YEARS If you are considering moving here save money on movers and leave all your stuff at your old address you will only have to throw it out when you get INFESTED with bedbugs!! Management will only band aid the situation instead of solving it!!!!
Robert Wiseman, Manager on 12/14/2009
Once again Jade posts incorrect information. I wish that you would identify yourself, instead of posting false information and hiding behind a pseudonym.
We have treated the entire building twice. In the latest round we treated specific units, including some that had been treated a couple of weeks ago. Bedbugs were not found in any of the units just treated. I have a pretty good idea which unit 'Jade' is in and I have never had a bedbug brought to me from that unit, nor have either of the tw
o pest control companies we have used found bedbugs in that unit.
Our most recent company doesn't think that two treatments, given the way they do the treatment, are necessary. They have been successful in getting rid of bedbugs in another co-operative.
In a co-operative, 'Jade', members work together to solve problems. They don't hide behind false names and even less accurate information. They don't let gossip substitute for common sense. Come out, come out whoever you are...

Bob, "Main Gerrard Co-op"
if this building actually became a co-operative, as you have put it, you would be out of a job.
Not only is the building riddled with bedbugs, the place is falling apart. there are large holes and gaps in the walls and floors and the spraying only occurs a few units at a time. after the manager decides to allow a spraying, if the bugs return, members are expected to pay for the pest control out of their own pocket. manager also says that 'one spray should suffice'.
he continues to blame residents for a building wide problem, wherein pest control chases the bugs from one unit to another.
in a real co-op with an active and functioning board and membership, meetings would be co-ordinated at regular intervals, those who are severely disabled and mentally ill need help preparing their units, and a building wide spray every few weeks would get rid of the bugs. also, getting maintainace to seal up all cracks and holes to keep the bugs out would help. it is a complete waste of time and money to use a band aid approach. this building has had a bed bug problem for three years. at some point u cant keep blaming the residents for what is a complete failure of management, board and membership. DONT MOVE HERE
Robert Wiseman, Manager on 11/10/2009
The two comments that have been posted are inaccurate except that we have had some units with bedbugs.
We have sprayed the entire building twice. We have some units that repeatedly get bedbugs and we have sprayed them as many as 6 times. As well, we purchase containers of diatomaceous earth and hand it out to members. We have invested in materials and more than doubled our budget for pest control. We continue to look at ways to battle this pest and it certainly doesn't help to have 'members'
of the co-operative post misleading and factually incorrect information about the efforts we are making, hiding behind false names. I am signing this with my real name.
The solution to resolving bed bug infestations isn't just in the hand of management or landlords though. Residents MUST be active in the solution to infestations. It takes hard work to clean up from an infestation and defeat bedbugs. This is a co-operative, so work co-operatively.
Jade on 10/24/2009
This building has no money in their budget to make repairs or spray for bugs. we were told they sprayed back in august, but when we returned to the unit, nothing had been touched or moved and there was no evidence of pesticides sprayed. they were dishonest when renting this unit about the state of the bed bug situation, they said there were a few isolated cases.people are throwing away brand new beds leaving them outside.The building is in severe disrepair and there seems to be no money in the b
udget to fix simple things like leaks. They've increased the market rent leaving hard working ppl paying over a thousand a month to live in this hole. DONT MOVE HERE. They will tell you they'll give you a subsidy and that the bugs are under control. Theyre not. i am leaving ASAP.

UK Couple Questioned on Abandoned Baby
LONDON (AP) _ A British couple was questioned by police Wednesday after their 3-month-old son was found abandoned in his stroller on a street in Portugal.
No charges were filed against the parents. British police said they were awaiting word from Portuguese authorities about whether that country would request the couple's extradition.
A man walking his dog in Faro, a resort town on Portugal's southern coast, discovered the unattended child on Sunday. The parents had flown home to Britain earlier in the day.
The baby was taken to a hospital, where a nurse recognized him because he had been there for treatment of a cleft palate. The baby was in good health and was being cared for at a local children's home, said Capt. Edmundo Emilio, a police spokesman in Faro.
The mother, Katherine Penny, 23, turned herself in in Britain on Tuesday. She and her boyfriend, Mark Beddoes, 29, were questioned by police in Bournemouth, in southern England. The couple had worked near Faro, selling time-share apartments.

Stan Van Gundy the president hasn't done Stan Van Gundy the coach any favors: Reggie Jackson was a mess all season, Andre Drummond plateaued, and the Pistons are looking at a future in which Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, a very nice complementary player, will be the roster's top talent and earning a max or near-max contract.

The five most common names for girls born in 2014 in Spain are Lucia, Maria, Martina, Paula and Daniela. The five most common names for boys born in 2014 in Spain are Hugo, Daniel, Pablo, Alejandro and Alvaro, according to Spain's National Statistics Institute.
Many Spanish names have a Latin origin from which their meaning is derived. Lucia means "light," while Maria is the Spanish form of Mary, meaning "merciful." Martina is the feminine version of Martin and means "warlike." Paula means "small," and Daniela is a Hebrew name, meaning "God is my judge".

Pablo is the masculine form of Paula, so it also means "small." The name Alejandro has a Greek origin and means "defender." The name Alvaro has a Germanic origin and means "noble guardian."
The popularity of Spanish names has greatly varied throughout the 20th century. For example, popular boys' names during the first half of the 20th century were Jose, Antonio, Francisco and Juan. The most popular girls' names during the 20th century were Maria, Carmen, Josefa and Dolores, according to Spain's National Statistics Institute.

This, my friends, is the 1% of homemade brownies. Dark, rich, smooth, dense, and full of chocolate flavor. This recipe comes from the America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book. I am in love with their books and recipes and have tried tons of recipes all with smashing success, so when I saw this little gem I knew that it was worth trying. This is the only brownie recipe that I have made in over a year; why mess with chocolate perfection?

Info From Licensor: "I ran out to my car before my daughters school performance (5:15pm EST), when I noticed the woman in the video stumbling as she approached the rear bumper of my car. Then she fell into the passenger side near the rear wheel. That's when I reached for my phone and started the video. At first I was mad she fell into my car then hit it with her car door as she entered her car. As I looked closer she seemed intoxicated so I tried to assist her with a taxi or uber instead of driving herself."

Controls the Media, Controls the Minds
While Malaysia is trying its best to find MH370, the foreign media is having 'a good time' making speculations and creating stories for the sake of 'ratings'. As days go by, the foreign media seems to be more and more concerned on the 'government of Malaysia', rather than the passengers and crews of the aircraft. While they try desperately to create news out of nothing, they make it a point to sum it up with a question of the credibility of the Malaysian government.
For the foreign media, it is not the whereabouts of the flight that is the issue, but it is about Malaysia-China relationship. It is not about MH370 at all, but about whether Malaysia can stand on its own.
Obviously, MH370 is a game for the foreign media. In order to understand the game, we must first understand the players:
Back in 1983, 90% of the American media was owned by 50 companies. However, in 2011, that 90% is controlled by only 6 companies:
1. NEWSCORP: Fox, WSJ, The New York Post etc..
2. TIME WARNER: CNN, HBO, Time, Warner Bros etc..
3. CBS: Showtime, Smithsonian Channel, NFL, Jeopardy, 60 Min. etc..
4. GENERAL ELECTRIC: Comcast, NBC, Universal Pictures, Focus Features etc..
5. DISNEY: ABC, ESPN, Pixar, Miramax, Marvel Studios etc..
6. VIACOM: MTV, Nick Jr., BET, CMT, Paramount Pictures etc..
We know for a fact that who controls the information, controls the world and who controls the media, controls the minds. Now, who controls all these media?
There are seven Jewish Americans who run the vast majority of US TV Network, printed press, Hollywood movie industry, book publishing industry and recording industry. Most of these industries are bundled into huge media conglomerates run by these individuals:
• Gerald Levin, CEO and Director of AOL Time Warner
• Michael Eisner, Chairman and CEO of Walt Disney
• Edgar Bronfman, Jr Presiden and CEO cum Sr. Chairman of Seagram Co. Ltd and Head of Universal Studios
• Sumner Redstone, Chairman and CEO of Viacom Inc.
• Dennis Dammerman, Vice Chairman of General Electric
• Peter Chernin, Presiden and Co-COO of News Corporation Limited
(Source: John Whitley - http://www.rense.com/general44/sevenjewishamericans.htm)
The amount of money these conglomerates make could easily reached USD300 billion, which would be enough to buy a small country. And if we look further, we would come to understand the link between these media conglomerates and how they help the US, or more accurately, the Neo-Conservative controls the world.
In order to do that, these media often ignore real issues and continue to fuel flames just to create the effect needed to flare up some political agendas in some countries. The M.O is always the same: If they cannot make the people in these countries believe them, they make them confused.
Now can you see why the Fox News is as cunning as the fox and why CNN is called the Cunning News Network?
Many governments in many countries had fallen to the ground as their people were unable to distinguish the truths from the lies, and eventually chose to fall for the lies.
One news channel may not be able to move masses, but with hundreds of channels with tens of millions of individual followers around the world, these foreign media have the power to make people believe in even the most ridiculous stories. Team the news up with films, TV programs and music as 'supplementary food' for the minds, the media can make all Muslims look like terrorists and can also make the Muslims themselves believe that Islam is all about terrorizing.
These media is now attacking Malaysia using the same M.O, by manipulating news on MH370 tragedy. Every day, they try to make us look weaker, incapable, thus, vulnerable. Rather than pointing fingers towards the useless U.S satellites technology, their 'un-sophisticated' assets and expertise, the media choose to point fingers towards the humble and sincere government of Malaysia who is focusing on only one thing that is, to find the missing flight ASAP.
They try to turn China against us and try to bring the people against the government. At the same time, they try to paint a picture of Malaysia being a possible breeding ground of extremists and terrorists. All these ugly pictures are painted by them as a pre-emptive measure to justify foreign interference when the time comes.
If there is any positive outcome from MH370's missing, is that, it has helped exposed the game as well as the players and the back-benchers. We can see clearly now which media or which politicians or political party that are actually helping the foreign media tear us apart. By seeing this, we can save the country by not believing in everything we hear on the media. The future of Malaysia is in our hands, not the media, if only we don't let them control our minds.

Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year, everyone!
I awoke after sleeping late refreshed and not hungover and what a blessing that is. I am so grateful.
Last night, I had the privilege of speaking with my group at an alkathon. Thank heavens we were one of the early groups...I don't think I could have made it in the wee hours. I used to be so uncomfortable speaking at meetings and now it doesn't seem hard at all. I just say a little prayer that whatever I say might be useful to someone. I get good feedback so I guess I do alright. What a great way to end my first sober calendar year.
After the alkathon, my husband and I met up with some friends and went to a party. I only stayed for an hour or so and then went home to be with my kids and a couple of their friends that were sleeping over. Historically, my husband has stayed behind at this party and gotten shit faced with the guys. Much to my surprise, he arrived home shortly before the ball dropped and celebrated with us and our sparkling cider. My sons and their friends took pots and pans and banged them out on the front lawn to celebrate. It was truly fun and a blessing to be there and be sober. (Right now, the kids are engaged in the most competitive game of Risk I've ever seen..they haven't even expressed an interest in breakfast yet...for teenage and tweenage boys, this is amazing. My teenage daughter is still sleeping...too exhausting being in charge of her brothers and their friends for a few hours last night, I guess.)
I can't believe it's 2008. When I was a kid, I remember calculating how old I'd be in various years in the future and the 2000's seemed an eternity away. How the hell did it get to be 2008 so fast?? I'm thinking of leaving the Christmas stuff up because it will be back in ten minutes, lol.
Today I'm grateful for:
A whole calendar year (and many days on top of that) of hangover free mornings
That I find comfort in being part of the fellowship, as well as personal growth
That my husband didn't get drunk last night. He's not an alcoholic, but it still is hard for me to be around someone abusing alcohol
For a clear and beautiful day today
That I don't have to resolve to get sober in 2008 (though I do have to resolve to lose weight; some things never change, after all!)
