Labor and Employment

The workplace is ever changing, becoming more diverse, highly regulated and volatile resulting in complex challenges and risks for employers impacting their operations on a global basis. As a result, clients need skilled counsel to manage risk, assist them with labor disputes, litigation avoidance and defense, and to guide them in devising and implementing effective workplace policies and procedures.

Dechert’s labor and employment team has the ability to provide rapid, integrated solutions to any employment, benefits or labor matter. We work closely with companies of all sizes in virtually every industry to assure that their interests are protected. Our lawyers navigate clients through the ever-changing landscape of federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the workplace, assisting them with structuring and implementing effective workplace policies and procedures, preserving their intellectual property, addressing the full range of labor and employment law issues, and guiding them through the challenges of litigation.

Dechert represents clients as advisers and advocates, devising solutions to preserve the efficiency and productivity of their workforce. We regularly defend companies against individual claims and class actions, as well represent them before state and federal agencies including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, National Labor Relations Board, Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Office of Federal Contract Compliance, and various state agencies throughout the United States.

Prevention Advice

Clearly, the best solution to an employment problem is prevention. To that end, we counsel clients on establishing and reviewing personnel practices, developing and implementing employee relations programs, and drafting and negotiating employment contracts and policies. We address problems by applying practical, timely strategies to minimize risk and prevent employment disputes from arising in the first place.

Legal Services on Three Continents

Dechert’s U.S. labor and employment practice has national presence with offices located in several major U.S. commercial centers, including Boston, Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia.

We have a strong labor and employment presence in Europe and Asia with attorneys strategically located in Beijing, Brussels, London, Luxembourg, Munich, Moscow and Paris. We advise on domestic employment matters, cross-border matters and issues facing U.S. clients with overseas operations. We have advised on and coordinated many collective consultation programs in the United Kingdom and across Europe and Asia.

A Diverse Practice

Our services include litigation defense, labor-management relations, and preventive and compliance counseling on every conceivable workplace issue including:

  • Hiring and firing
  • Personnel and affirmative action policies and practices
  • Employee discipline/discharge
  • Reduction in force
  • Wage and hour practices
  • Medical and other leaves of absence

We also handle grievance investigations and compliance with regulatory requirements impacting employers. We represent clients of all sizes from those with fewer than 50 employees to those with more than 5,000.

Dechert trial lawyers defend clients in all types and phases of employment actions:

  • Individual and class action employment discrimination suits (age, race, gender, national origin and disability)
  • Sexual harassment litigation
  • Wage and hour litigation
  • Non-competition litigation (trade secret, noncompete, non-solicitation, defamation, tortious interference with contract, unfair competition)
  • Privacy and data protection and Computer Fraud and Abuse Act claims
  • Wrongful discharge and termination cases
  • Employment torts
  • Employee contract, benefit disputes and ERISA litigation
  • WARN Act litigation

On the traditional labor law side, we represent employers in all aspects of management-union relations, including union avoidance and election campaigns, collective bargaining negotiations, arbitrations and proceedings under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and courts throughout the United States.

Our Approach to Client Service

Our priority is making sure our clients manage their employee relationships effectively with minimal disruption to their day-to-day business operations and long-term business plans. There are times when workplace problems demand immediate attention and action, while other situations call for thorough investigation and careful planning. In some cases, we must defend our clients against workplace-related claims or actions brought by employees. Our legal team works closely with our clients to assess their workplace challenges, legal needs, and business strategies to determine the best course of action.

Our labor and employment attorneys often partner with Dechert lawyers skilled in other areas, such as employee benefits and executive compensation, corporate transactions, restructurings, regulatory, intellectual property and tax matters to provide the most comprehensive, cost-efficient service. Dechert has the resources and geographic reach to provide clients with truly integrated service both in the U.S. and abroad.

The Right Results for Clients

We strive to get the results that best meet our clients’ needs effectively and efficiently. We know that not all employment claims are alike. There is no “one size fits all” legal strategy. Our employment lawyers are highly skilled at assessing client matters and determining the strategy and tactics that will produce the best result for each individual client. Experienced in trying some of the most complex and high-stakes matters, we have had great success in obtaining summary judgment and other early dismissal of lawsuits, negotiating settlements, and resolving conflicts using alternative dispute resolution techniques.

Part 2: Bruce Schneier on the Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World

Bruce Schneier

security technologist and author of Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World. He is a fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society.

Part 2 of our discussion with Bruce Schneier about about the golden age of surveillance and his new book, "Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World."

Click here to watch Part 1.

AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!,, The War and Peace Report. I’m Amy Goodman, with Juan González. Our guest is Bruce Schneier. He is a leading security technologist. He has a new book out, has just hit number six on the New York Times best-seller list; it’s called Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World. He’s a fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society.

You’re sitting in Minneapolis, Bruce. We’re in New York. So, the way it works in an insert studio is you’re sitting in front of a very large camera, and you’re staring into the lens. That’s really interesting, because at least you know you’re being recorded right now. Can you take us through a day of an everyday person and talk about how, from the minute we wake up and before to the end, our lives are being documented?

BRUCE SCHNEIER: You know, I’ll probably miss some things. There are so many. When we wake up, we probably pick up our smartphone. But that smartphone knows where we are; otherwise, it couldn’t ring. Actually, that smartphone is a tracking device. It will track us throughout our day. It will know where we live, where we work, where we go. That phone will know who we talk to, either whether it’s calls or text messages. It’s also a computer. That computer is going track us, if we use the Internet.

There are lots and lots of web devices that are tracking us as we go about our day, what we read, what sites we visit, what we’re interested in. Google tracks us. Facebook tracks us. All those things track us. If we go out into our car, there are computers there that are tracking what we’re doing. Sometimes they’re connected to the manufacturer; sometimes they’re not. If we make payments, we use a credit card that records what we’re purchasing, who we are. All of the things we do involve computers. Think of the cameras. There might be thousands of security cameras we walk by. There are cameras collecting our license plate and putting that into a database. There are cameras collecting our face.

The way to think of it is, computers produce data, and every time we interact with a computer, data about that transaction is produced. That’s surveillance data about us. That data is increasingly saved, increasingly stored. And as we go about our day, we interact with thousands of computers. And that’s all surveillance data.

JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Well, in our earlier segment, you were talking about that it’s now more of a political and social problem in terms of being able to protect privacy. What are the kinds of—if you were to say the most important kind of law that would need to be passed to be able to get back some of our individual autonomy, what would that be?

BRUCE SCHNEIER: Yeah, it’s never one thing. The problem with privacy in data is there’s so many interconnected things. So we need protection for data collection, data use, data storage, data transfer—you know, buying and selling—and then data deletion. That’s the chain of our data, and we need protections in every place. So it’s not a matter of saying, "We’ll let them collect it, and we’ll regulate use," because now what happens, you know, we saw, past year or so, all these great data breaches—Target Corporation, Home Depot, Anthem Health. All right, this is our data being stored by somebody else that’s stolen by criminals. So we need protections against collection. We need protections against use. And we need proof that we can look at our data, correct it if it’s wrong. It’s a whole slew of things that have to work together—you know, and technologies and laws. This is not a simple problem with a simple solution. Unfortunately, it makes it harder.

JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Well, there was a recent article, I think in The New York Times, about school systems now confronting the fact that as they are bringing in more private companies to provide online education and sources into their school systems, sometimes individual teachers are given the opportunity to bring in a particular software company and use it in their class, that these companies now are basically shredding the privacy rights of students, because they’re collecting data on how students are progressing, individual students on particular subject matter, and they now have a trove of data that they in turn can sell, but there’s basically very little protection of student rights now in this new information age.

BRUCE SCHNEIER: Yeah, there is some. There’s protections of students for their schools collecting data. It doesn’t really transfer well to third parties. That’s an enormous difference. And the student data collection isn’t different than the collection of you or I. If we go to a medical site, there are going to be advertisers watching what we look at. We’re going to have ads following us. And yes, that happens in the classroom, too. If you think about it, when we were students, we read our textbooks in book form. Now students are reading textbooks online. They’re reading them on their iPads. And the owner of those textbooks, the websites, know exactly what students are reading, how fast they’re reading, what they’re going back and re-reading, how they’re studying. This is powerful information, but it’s incredibly intimate. Right? Amazon knows that about the books you read. You know, if you download Fifty Shades of Grey, Amazon’s going to know which parts you read and re-read.

AMY GOODMAN: Bruce, can you talk about the whole controversy around Hillary Clinton’s email and put it into the context, the lens through which you see it, right? Her email, she did not use the State Department email system, that had actually a law just been passed. She would be the first secretary of state to have used it, but she didn’t. Now John Kerry is the first. The front page of The New York Times today is about New York state, and it says that Governor Cuomo had—has put into place a policy of automatically deleting state workers’ emails after 90 days, and now this is being stopped, because there’s been an uprising around this. But talk about what you found interesting about the controversy around her keeping it on her own email address with a server based at her home in Chappaqua, New York.

BRUCE SCHNEIER: So, I have two main things that interest me. The first one is I have a lot of sympathy for her, that government email systems tend to be antiquated, hard to use, and I know when I go into companies, I want to use my own email system. I have my system. I know it works. I don’t want to use the corporate email system because it’s annoying. And it’s just like anybody within a company: They want to get something done, they jump on Gmail, because it’s easy, because it works, because it bypasses sort of all of the problems in the institutions. And I don’t know if that’s what she’s thinking, but that’s what I would be thinking when I came in.

Second thing I’m interested in is: Who’s controlling the email? In the beginning, there was a little tension between Clinton and Obama. And possibly, Hillary Clinton recognized that she might not have friends in IT, and she wanted more control of her email. And again I have sympathy with that. On the other hand, government email is government records, and that needs to be preserved, and that needs to be collected by government, by the National Archives, for the people. And I want to make sure that happens, and I want to make sure her email is not deleted. So those are my two thoughts. I have sympathy for her position, because I also want control over my system, and I have a lot of sympathy for the position of, you know, "That’s government property. You shouldn’t be taking it home."

AMY GOODMAN: I mean, that’s the—I mean, the fact of the matter is she is not Hillary Clinton, she’s the secretary of state. So, for all time, she will decide what record of history we have.

BRUCE SCHNEIER: Right, and that shouldn’t be. Right? It should be that history should be the raw data. We save it in—you know, maybe in—we protect it for 50, 100 years, and then it becomes history and all exposed. And I think we’re seeing that problem everywhere. It’s not just Hillary Clinton. It’s history in general. Right? Is everything going to be saved? What’s going to be deleted? What data will be preserved in old formats? And I do worry about history and data and whether history can read our stuff, whether we’re going to delete stuff, whether we’re going to save stuff, whether we’re going to save too much. I mean, there’s emails of mine I don’t think history needs, and I’m happy to delete. All that surveillance data I’m not sure is valuable. But, yes, when you are secretary of state, when you are the president, when you are a government official, the data you produce has value to the country and needs to be preserved. We need to make sure that happens, that government officials can’t scrub their record in an effort to decide how they are viewed by history.

JUAN GONZÁLEZ: And what—and this decision of Governor Cuomo to institute a 90-day deletion process whereby every employee would decide affirmatively which emails to preserve beyond a 90-day period?

BRUCE SCHNEIER: I mean, I don’t like that. But think of what’s going on here. Email is weird. It’s not correspondence, which we would obviously save. And it’s not conversation, which we would obviously delete. It’s somewhere in the middle. And I have had conversations on email that don’t deserve saving. And I’ve had official correspondence on email that I do need to save. And if you think about some of the big court cases that have involved emails, it’s very easy to pull a sentence here, a sentence there, out of context and make the emails say whatever you want. That’s because we can be very, very informal on email. We can just chat on email in a way that we don’t believe is preserved, is archival. So email occupies that middle ground. And you could easily see deciding either way, that it counts as correspondence or doesn’t count, it’s just conversation.

AMY GOODMAN: Bruce, can you talk about data being bought and sold?

BRUCE SCHNEIER: Well, in the United States, there’s not a lot of protection for our data, that data generated by us, collected by third parties. So, your cellphone company collects data of everybody you call, when you call. Your credit card company knows when you make purchases, where and how much. Google knows what you search on. All that data is collected by third parties, and those parties basically own that data. They have the right to buy it, to sell it, to use it however they like.

I don’t know if you remember, last year, Uber, the taxi company, used the data they had of people’s rides to figure out who’s going—who’s using Uber to go and have sex. They looked for rides happening in the evening to a place and rides happening the next morning away from that place. Right? They had searched their database for that. And they produced aggregate statistics of that—what cities were good for it, what neighborhoods, what days of the week. They thought it was all in good fun. They didn’t expose personal information. But they had that. They had the list of people who were using Uber in that way. They, if they wanted to—

AMY GOODMAN: Wait, how did know what places where they were going?

BRUCE SCHNEIER: —could sell it.

AMY GOODMAN: What places were they going?

BRUCE SCHNEIER: Uber collects the route. When you get a receipt from Uber, it includes a map of the route you took. So it knows exactly where you started and where you ended. It’s not like a taxi ride that happens when you pay cash. The data is there. The surveillance data is there.

AMY GOODMAN: So could that, for example—could that data be subpoenaed in a case, in a court case?

BRUCE SCHNEIER: The data could be subpoenaed. Uber could publish it because it was fun. Uber could decide, "We’re going to release the names of these people." There’s nothing stopping them except that it would be really creepy, and they would probably get a lot of bad press for it. But legally, they have no obligations to keep that secret. And that’s the point. This data is owned by those third parties, who can sell it at will. And if they want to sell a database of people who use Uber to have sex to some company that wants to market some sort of product, it is within their rights to do that.

AMY GOODMAN: So, if you could, once again, tell us the simple ways—you may consider them so simple, as a security technologist, you wouldn’t even raise them, but for everyday people, people have no way to know how to protect themselves—the simple, maybe, steps you take in a day to protect your privacy?

BRUCE SCHNEIER: I mean, the simple things tend to be around the edges. So there are programs to secure email, to secure chats. There are encryption programs for voice. There are ways to protect the things we say to each other. Using cash is a way to protect ourselves. The problem is that a lot of the data is collected—it’s metadata. It’s collected by the systems we use. So being careful what you say on Facebook, not using Google search, if you’re worried. There’s a search engine called DuckDuckGo that doesn’t track you.

But, by and large, we are tracked because of what we do in our day, and it’s very hard to opt out. Not having a credit card, not having an email address, not being on Facebook is really dumb advice to give people. So what I want people to do is to observe surveillance and talk about surveillance, to make this a political issue. This really isn’t something we can install some tech and opt out of. It’s not that easy. We really have to make it that lawmakers care that we care. And that’s difficult. I mean, that is the hard solution that’s going to be the good solution.

AMY GOODMAN: Bruce Schneier, thanks so much for being with us, security technologist, author of the new New York Times best-seller, Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World.

Red Orchestra 2: news and videos

Red Orchestra 2

Tripwire Interactive is staying true to their mod maker roots by releasing the full Red Orchestra 2 Mod SDK today. If you own the game, you can start tinkering by downloading the SDK from the tools section on Steam. A limited pre-release SDK had been made available to select modders at an earlier date, and they have already been hard at work with custom maps and total conversions.

Check out a few of the total conversions that are currently in the works: Pacific theater mod Rising Storm, Vietnam mod In Country: Vietnam, and World War I mod Iron Europe. If you're interested in modding yourself, or on the lookout for custom maps, a safe bet is to also keep an eye on the Tripwire forum modding thread.

The front 9 is pretty open and flat with a few obstacles here and there. The exception to this is hole 9, which has a very narrow throwing lane. In some areas the ground was very soft and muddy. Also, IMO, a few of the par 3's should be par 4's because of how long they were. I give the front 9 a B-.

The back 9 is more challenging with good scenery and a good mix of open/wooded holes. You'll want hiking shoes for this part. I give the back 9 an A-.
-  +0 votes  + Robin WW › September 26, 2015
Easy walking with some really good holes. Only one tee pad and pin for each hole. All flat except for a fun downhill #10. Long walk from #18 back to #1. Quiet and Beautiful.

Fun open & wooded hole course with a few possible ace runs ! Good challenging mix!

ATTN: lost a Yellow CE w/ a Grateful Dead "stealie w/ leaf inside the skull" on hole 14 near basket beautiful shot then it glanced off tree & must of buried itself in the snow. Searched for a half hour but lost light . I live in ohio otherwise i would have gone back out myself

This is a clean, well maintained, challenging course with a very nice layout.

Played in the winter so the leaf cover was down. Good mid skill level course with some open but mostly wooded shots. The area is hilly, though most holes are level shots(except #11!). Very cool scenery with the rocky hill sides, stream, etc. Signage & baskets are very good, just needs concrete tees.
-  +0 votes  + Frank Leppar › February 26, 2013
Great well maintained course. 18 challenging holes. The top 9 are generally very long par 3s where a birdie will be unlikely (there is an exception here and there). Then beginning with hole #8 the course turns from wide-open and long to shorter and much more technical. You can really be rewarded for attacking the baskets, but one slip into the woods and you can easily find yourself in trouble getting back out. I really do enjoy the course, just feels it's an all around great choice. Would love to see some PDGA events here, I think we will soon enough.

I felt like it was an ok course. Very scenic. Would prefer to see more elevation changes. Especially since the terrain would easily accommodate that. Desperately needs concrete tee pads. Also pretty ridiculous how far hole 18 ends from hole 1
-  +0 votes  + Bradley Martin › September 18, 2016
Really nice course! Highly recommend. Natural tee pads are pretty flat for the most part. Really had minimal influence on any drives unlike some other natural tees I've played on. Beautiful park as well.

This course is very well maintained and it is very easy to navigate. Really enjoyed the back nine, front nine not as fun.

I may be going crazy but tee pad number 2,12,13, and 15 say par 4. This site is giving me the wrong par on those holes. Par is actually 58. Overall the course is well maintained. No tee pads but the driving areas weren't bad. You have to walk a bit farther than you think from 14 to 15 (it's down the paved path). Garbage cans and outhouses are convenient enough. Really liked the back 9 scenery.

What is your take everyday / walk around lens?

I'm looking to get a everyday lens. I sold my Nikon 18-200 VR (ok lens) today to put towards the purchase of the Nikon 24-70 2.8. What lense do you find that you reach for first when your out and about? How many use the Nikon 17-35 or 17-55 lenses or do you tend to with less such as the Nikon 18-70 or 18-55.

D3, D300, D80
Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR, 24-70 2.8, 50mm 1.8
Nikon 85mm 1.8, Nikon 70-300
2-SB800, SB400, Quantum 2 x 2 powerpack

Point...aim...shoot and have fun!

Re: Sunset - new sensor x10

Excellent Max. Good to see you back again.

Pelicans, strange birds. For something so clumsy they certainly can get where they want.

A few years ago on the morning train I spotted some sitting on the freeway lights. We were pulling into Stirling at the time, so surreal.

Have a good one.

I Will Not Shot in RAW

Re: RAW is not Future Proof...

Don't forget "you can always run OLD software" on vintage OS usually on new h/w, as well as there will be conversion programs that will convert x->y, and when y is no longer supported, a new y->z converter, etc.

I would NEVER think that there will be 1 file type, EVER, companies are too arrogant and full of themselves to do that, unless at the edge of biz death or....

But for the big companies, Canon, Nikon, et-al, there will be conversion apps to the 'new' for any length of time that matters !!

Don't know about you, but I will die someday, then I will cease to care about this, surviving others will deal with the problem, but just may be very interested my/our old crap !?

Funny, how many ppl have reel-to-reel tape players, yet lots of ppl are refurbishing 50-60-70-80 yr old music from that (or older tech) !! If only those artist at the time took MORE care on making the highest quality recordings they could, MANY did not and now its tough to refurbish/archive that music to its greatest quality.

Same for film movies and stills!! If it is decent/interesting photography the future may "Give a damn" and want to 'resurrect' that old stuff and if 'raw' they have the VERY best to start with!

Hindsight, 20-20, Foresight, 20-2000 !!

Don't be sorry!!

This is a fundamental answer for ALL the raw vs jpeg questions:

Think of the future, not just now!!

Ah, I'm not soiling for a JPEG Vs RAW argument but I'd like to raise a few observations for those interested in the (apparently ongoing) JPEG Vs RAW debate.

To quote another website: "Having so many different versions of raw files out on the market today could doom the file type(s) to obsolescence. Unfortunately, this could also mean the loss of millions of photographs, as standards and manufacturers change, and most of these varieties of raw files can no longer be read by the machines and applications of the near-future. It is possible that the camera and photo industry will one day soon come to an agreement on a standard raw file format, and have that standard established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). There also exists the possibility that Adobe’s .DNG format can play a role in becoming the common format for raw files."

Many point out that UNLESS you open and convert all your RAW files NOW, you may find someday that you will never be able to open them again because RAW is not "Future Proof".

Ten years ago I would argue that RAW would be the superior file for capturing certain types of images but not now.

What we are trying to do is capture what we can see with our eyes... using a digital camera.  Our eyes have more Dynamic Range than any camera available today although

With cameras producing accurate JPEG images that closely resemble what we see, there's no need to worry about "what might be lost" if you choose not to photograph in RAW.  If your JPEG is missing information, you'll know about it because your images will be lacking in some way visually.  If you can't tell, then you won't miss anything shooting in JPEG.

Technically speaking, a RAW image is simply a filetype and is NOT a photograph or even an Image file.  The scary thing about RAW is that each camera manufacturer has its own propriety native RAW File and camera software from one manufacturer will often not be able to read RAW files from another camera brand.  In the past Adobe and other software companies have elected to completely discontinue access and service to some of the now defunct types of RAW files.  It has happened before so we know it may happen again.  How many times do we see threads by people here complaining that their version of Photoshop or Lightroom doesn't support the RAW files from their new camera?  Eventually, these companies will allow you to access your camera's RAW files but you need to wait for RAW pluggins and conversion software to become available first.

JPEG and TIF, on the other hand, are considered to be "universal" image formats. Sure, JPEG is a lossy file that is compressed... but most people saving a RAW file to work on it later will use PSD (Photoshop Document) or TIF (Tagged Image Format) to store their "works in progress" for archiving processes.

There are over 254 types of RAW image format files in existence with many of them being subset formats of the same type.  RAW may even be abandoned some day and there's ample evident to support this hypothesis.  So be careful in the format you choose to save, use or capture your images in.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with capturing or storing your photographs as RAW files.  But it would be prudent to edit every single picture and convert them all into TIFs if you are trying to archive your photography.  Plenty of photographers believe they need to shoot RAW but don't know how to make the most of converting their files.  Even less people have the correctly calibrated professional monitors or the eye and professional skills to manipulate their images correctly in the first place.  On such people, shooting in RAW is almost certainly a waste of time.

Today's JPEG Engines from the modern Canon digital cameras make the most of the RAW information before converting the image into a JPEG image file. All that Dynamic Range and subtle detail hidden in shadows and highlights is carefully extracted and introduced into the final image.  The modern camera's Image Processor is much more capable than the collective skills of the vast majority of budding photography enthusiasts out there.

Enjoy your photography, no matter what format you shoot in.

Pentax Optio 33WR review

Pentax Optio 33WR review

I think this is an excellent camera. It has a whole host of useful features - video and still time lapse, video with sound, slideshow, zoom in playback still mode, easy to download images/video to computer and video, memo mode, and the usual camera features such as flash, picture mode, timer, white balance adjustment, etc. I had a great time learning to use the many features of this camera. In my view, there is no comparison, feature-wise, with a normal 35 mm film camera of the same price.

It is quite a robust camera and I especially like the rubber corners. One of its biggest selling points for me is the water-resistant feature - brilliant. I will have no hesitation in using it in the rain or damp conditions. I haven't dropped it on solid ground or in water yet, but it's good to know that it should survive the encounter.

I have found image quality to be pretty good and battery usage seems fine with NiMH batteries, but I can't compare it with other digital cameras. Suffice to say, I think it has a reasonable power consumption but whatever you do, don't use normal AA alkaline batteries.

I like the shape and feel of the camera, but I don't think that is shared by too many other people. The camera is hard to come by in New Zealand and the price has been reduced from approximately NZ$750 to NZ$399 (I am not complaining about this!)

I have had no problems at all so far, but I have a few suggestions which Pentax should consider.

Firstly, a good camera case. It does not come with one and I have heard that the case you can buy for it is not so good. Robust as it is, a camera case would be a good idea for the 33WR. A lens protector would also be a worthwhile idea, and a protector for the LCD screen too. I would love to see a small, pull-out lens shade above the lens - this would be great in very bright and rainy conditions. It would reduce glare and stop raindrops landing on the lens. Maybe I should copyright this idea. And finally, a metal casing instead of the plastic one would further enhance its rugged reputation.

I would certainly recommend this camera to anyone. So far, it has been brilliant and if my camera suffered severe misfortune (lost, stolen, etc) then I would do my best to buy the same one again, no question about it.

Can you cut a zantac 150 in half?

Responses (1)

Marvell 18 Sep 2013

Although it is not recommended, as the dosage may vary if you halve the tablet, if you have extra tablets and need to take a lower dose then you can halve them.

They don't have any controlled release coating on them, so it's okay.

The Skinny on Liposuction

On this page:

Liposuction is the most popular form of cosmetic surgery in the United States, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).

The 403,684 liposuction procedures performed on Americans in 2006 represent a 128% increase over the number performed in 1997. Interestingly, this same procedure—during the same year—was the top cosmetic surgery performed on men in the United States. In addition, the 383,885 liposuction procedures performed on U.S. women ranked second only to breast augmentation.

If you are considering joining the millions of people worldwide who have had liposuction, FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, which regulates the medical products used in liposuction, suggests you consider the following before having the surgery:

  • Liposuction is intended only for body contouring. It is not intended as a means of weight loss.
  • During liposuction, body fat is removed from under the skin with the use of vacuum suction—either with a hollow pen-like instrument called a "canula," or an ultrasonic probe that breaks fat up into small pieces and then removes it.
  • While physicians may perform liposuction on the abdomen, hips, thighs, calves, arms, buttocks, back, neck, or face, it has never been cleared for use on the neck or face.
  • Liposuction is also used in medical procedures such as reduction of men's breast size and removing fat tumors (lipomas).

back to top

In the United States, FDA regulates the sale of medical devices and drugs that physicians use to perform liposuction. This includes equipment such as canulas, pumps, collecting containers, and ultrasound probes, as well as anesthetics used during the procedure.

FDA does not have authority to

  • regulate a doctor's practice.
  • tell a doctor how to run his or her business.
  • tell a doctor what he or she can or cannot tell patients.
  • set the amount a doctor can charge for liposuction surgery.
  • insist that patient information be provided to potential patients.

FDA also cannot

  • recommend individual doctors, clinics, or liposuction centers. (The agency does not maintain or have access to lists of doctors performing liposuction.)
  • conduct or provide a rating system on medical devices it regulates.

Who Can Perform Liposuction Surgery?

Plastic surgeons and dermatologists often perform liposuction, but any licensed physician may perform the procedure.

While some physicians' professional societies recommend it, no standardized training is required for conducting liposuction. You may want to base your decision to have liposuction on whether or not a doctor has had specialized training in the procedure, and has successfully performed it before.

Liposuction may be performed in a doctor's office, surgical center or hospital. Because it is a surgical procedure, it is important that

  • it be performed in a clean environment
  • there is access to emergency medical equipment or a nearby hospital emergency room.

Remember, even the best-screened patients under the care of the best-trained and experienced physicians may experience complications as a result of liposuction.

back to top

What are the Risks?

  • Infections can become serious issues. Keep the wounds clean.
  • Embolisms may occur when loosened fat enters the blood through blood vessels ruptured during liposuction. Pieces of fat can wind up in the lungs, or even the brain. Fat emboli may cause permanent disability or, in some cases, be fatal.
  • Puncture wounds in the organs (visceral perforations) may require surgery for repair. They can also prove fatal.
  • Seroma is a pooling of serum, the straw-colored liquid from your blood, in areas where tissue has been removed.
  • Paresthesias (changes in sensation that may be caused by nerve compression) is an altered sensation at the site of the liposuction. This may either be in the form of an increased sensitivity (pain), or numbness in the area. In some cases, these changes in sensation may be permanent.
  • Swelling, in some cases, may persist for weeks or months after liposuction.
  • Skin necrosis occurs when the skin above the liposuction site changes color and falls off. Large areas of skin necrosis may become infected with bacteria or microorganisms.
  • Burns can occur during ultrasound-assisted liposuction if the ultrasound probe becomes hot.
  • Fluid imbalance may impact you after you go home. The condition can result in serious ailments such as heart problems, excess fluid collecting in the lungs, or kidney problems.
  • Toxicity from anesthesia due to the use of lidocaine, a skin-numbing drug, can cause lightheadedness, restlessness, drowsiness, a ringing in the ears, slurred speech, a metallic taste in the mouth, numbness of the lips and tongue, shivering, muscle twitching and convulsions. Lidocaine toxicity may cause the heart to stop.
  • Scars at the site of the incision are usually small and fade with time, although some may be larger or more prominent.
  • Bumpy or wavy appearances can occur at the liposuction site after the procedure.

back to top

More Factors to Consider

Will you like your looks after liposuction?
The cosmetic effect after liposuction may be very good and many patients report being satisfied. However, your appearance afterward may not be what you expected or wanted. Some physicians counsel their patients that reasonable expectations are important.

The results may not be permanent.
If you gain weight after liposuction surgery, the fat may return to sites where you had liposuction or to other sites.

Liposuction is not for everyone.
You are probably not a good candidate for liposuction surgery if cost is an issue. Most medical insurance will not pay for cosmetic liposuction, and the cost may be significant. You are also probably not a good candidate if you are overweight or obese and trying to lose weight, if you have a disease or are on medication that affects wound healing, or if your skin elasticity is inadequate. Lack of skin elasticity can cause the area the fat was removed from to be baggy after liposuction.

There are alternatives.
These include changing your diet to lose excess body fat, exercising, accepting your body and appearance as it is, or using clothing or makeup to downplay or emphasize body or facial features.

Make sure you understand the procedure and what you can expect.
It is important for you to read the patient information that your doctor provides so that you understand the risks involved. Ask about potential problems that could occur, and ask about the physician's experience in performing liposuction.

How accurate is the advertising?
Be wary of advertisements that say or imply you will have a perfect appearance after liposuction. Remember that advertisements are meant to sell you a product or service. Also, don't base your decision simply on cost.

Don't be pressured.
Take your time to decide whether liposuction is right for you and whether you are willing to take the risks of the surgery for its benefits.

back to top

Report Problems to FDA

  • Health professionals or consumers should report serious adverse reactions or other problems related to equipment or medications used for liposuction through FDA's MedWatch Program.
  • The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 requires hospitals and other user facilities to report deaths, serious illness and injuries associated with the use of medical devices. Questions about mandatory reporting can be answered by the Division of Surveillance Systems, Reporting Systems Branch, by phone on 240-276-3000, or write to, Reporting Systems Monitoring Branch, 1350 Piccard Drive HFZ-533, Rockville, MD 20850.

The dashboard doesn't save its current state when moving to another page, or reloading the dashboard.

i.e. if I move a widget to the left... i reload/change page... i come back to the dashboard, the widget is back in its default location.

ThisIsntSparta’s picture

Figured this out.. it had more than 3 columns. why is this happeneding?

Rob C’s picture

Priority: Major » Critical

more than 3 columns?

What did you do to 'figure it out' This, cause i got this on a new site where it used to work just fine.

After some testing (going to test some more) i found out that if 2 people use the same account and visit the dashboard (from the same ip), people's dashboard tends to freak out sometimes and i can't find a way to fix this. (and from what i understand this should not happen at All) (And if it's even the 'real' error, cause i got to much stuff on this site and don't wanna break it even more.)

So i am really interested in what you have figured out This, as are 'the others' i wanna bet ya.

And while i got this, it's kinda 'critical', cause it consists of a basic functionality error, and that's darn close to 'earth coming to an end'-stuff. Pardon my language.
(a big list with all the dashes on the left is not kinda what the module should do, right? :-) )

- tried devel
- emptied all caches
- hardcoded the rebuild registry
- created a new account
- enabled/disabled a Lot of stuff, nothing so far.
- going to start on a fresh install

(Tested some more on a beta site that runs the same code as the live site, just noticed this site also has the problem, but it does not end up with a big list on the left. The state the dashboard was in a couple days ago is saved, but it forgets any changes made as soon as i navigate somewhere else. Same case on this site, someone else accessed it with the same account 3 days ago, before that i didn't have any problems.)

Okay, i think this issue can be closed / changed? After some investigation i found the jquery update module (v2) has problems with the dashboard 2.0 (or the jQuery UI? 1.4) module. (That's jquery 1.4.2?) It's used on a site i started to maintain for the rounded_corners module. To bad, we'll try something else for rounded corners until the issue with jquery update is fixed. Maybe create a separate issue for this? Stuff breaks on installing jquery update 2 module. The issue seems limited to the saving of the locations of the dashboard's widgets. (everything else seems to work just fine)

centas’s picture

so what is that I have to do in order to make it work? :)
tried dowmgrading jqury, still no luck.
Seems like "$('>li>a', $this).data('widget', $this).click(function() {" on line 210 of dashboard.js
is not executed, which I believe is the behaviour description to send an ajax call to save the change.

and of course thank for all your hard work :)

centas’s picture

ok, magic happens. put jQuery v1.3.2 and jQuery UI v1.7.3 and it all works fine

guimguim’s picture

Hi all,

I think i found the origin of this problem that may not occure on every installation :

In, line 204, function 'dashboard_widget_reorder' won't execute properly in some cases :

$page_id = db_result(db_query("SELECT page_id FROM dashboard_page WHERE uid = '%d'", $user->uid));

name of the SQL table used should be in written between "{}" :

$page_id = db_result(db_query("SELECT page_id FROM {dashboard_page} WHERE uid = '%d'", $user->uid));

If you use prefixed table names in your drupal installation, you will always get this problem (but not with default names on a fresh drupal install). I changed this on my installation and it works nice now. It would be nice if someone with commit rights on this project could fix this!

guimguim’s picture

is anyone still maintaining this? can I help ?

smthomas’s picture

I have a few patches that I have added in other issues that I would also like committed to dev if possible. I have posted a few patches/issues going back over 10 months without a response from a maintainer so I know it is not actively being maintained. I would also be interested in helping out.

smthomas’s picture

I had this same issue. I had the Jquery UI module installed with the 1.6 version of the library. I also had the Jquery Update module installed.

As mentioned above, the fix is as simple as downloading the 1.7 version of the Jquery UI library to replace the 1.6 version.

guimguim’s picture

changing jquery UI wasn't necessary in my case. I suggest we contact developpers of this project.

CD, LP, Vinyl record album cover art

Culture Of Fear

LP (Item 573396) ESL, 2011
Out Of Stock

LP, Vinyl record album

We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.

Used Vinyl Grades

Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.

The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:

This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".

Near Mint

Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor surface noise when played.

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Very Good

  • Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
  • May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
  • May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
  • May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
  • This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.

Very Good - (minus)

  • Vinyl may be dirty, and can lack a fair amount of luster.
  • Vinyl can have a number of marks, either in clusters or smaller amounts, but deeper.
  • This is the kind of record that you'd buy to play, but not because it looked that great. Still, the flaws should be mostly cosmetic, with nothing too deep that would ruin the overall record.
  • Examples include a record that has been kept for a while in a cover without the paper sleeve, or heavily played by a previous owner and has some marks across the surface. The record should play okay, though probably with surface noise.

Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl may be dirty, or have one outstanding flaw, such as a light residue, which could be difficult to clean.
  • May have marks on all parts, too many to qualify as Very Good-, or several deeper marks, but the record should still be ok for play without skips.
  • In general, this is a record that was played a fair amount, and handled without care. A typical example may be a record which has been heavily played by a DJ, and carries marks from slip cueing. Depending on the quality of the vinyl, may play with surface noise throughout.

  • A record that you'd buy to play, cheap, but which you wouldn't buy for collecting.
  • Will have marks across all parts of the playing surface, and will most likely play with surface noise throughout. May have some other significant flaws, such as residue, or a track that skips.
  • In most cases, a poor quality copy of a very difficult to find record.

This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.

Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Used CD Grade

We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.

With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.
