Thread: 92-94 electronic heater controls
92-94 electronic heater controls
Afternoon everyone,
My 92 Burb had a heater problem about 2 years ago, that fixed itself until about 2 weeks ago... (dead, no lights period).
After some diagnostics, the thing I noticed, was that at night, there would be lights, as long as I did NOT turn the headlights (or park) on.
So I traced the ground wire for the heater controls (pin 8 (top is letters, bottom is numbers), Pin 8, in the connector, did a test ground with a pick and a jumper wire, "TA-DA". works fine, added a ground wire to firewall, been working correctly since....
Thought someone out there might want to know this.....
Greg from Brandon, Manitoba.

Do you expect the world to end on Dec. 21, 2012?
There's apparently an apocalypse coming and it's not going to skip Hazelwood.
Seriously, though, even NASA is getting in on the action. The agency created a page on its website devoted to debunking the Mayan apocalypse idea—not least because the Mayans never predicted any such thing. The date is simply the end of one time period that simply starts over.
"Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012," NASA wrote.
There have been several predictions of the end of the world, including the May 21, 2011 biblical prediction by then 89-year-old old "minister" Howard Camping. But many people believe that a judgment day is coming, but no one can predict when. On May 22, 2011, the sun rose just as surely as it had the day before.
And while there are still a number of skeptics, plenty of parties are planned for Dec. 20 or 21 this year, just in case the Earth explodes, or zombies run amok. With the "long count" calendar of the Ancient Mayans coming to an end that day, some people are a little pessimistic about any calendar continuing past that date.
However, experts on the matter, like the NASA thing above, say we've got nothing to worry about. According to an article on nbcnews.com, "Experts estimate the system starts counting at 3114 B.C., and will have run through 13 baktuns, or 5,125 years, around Dec. 21. Experts say 13 was a significant number for the Maya, and the end of that cycle would be a milestone—but not an end."
Some people believe the Maya may have predicted "impending astronomical disasters that would coincide with 2012, ranging from explosive storms on the surface of the sun that could knock out power grids to a galactic alignment that could trigger a reversal in Earth's magnetic field."
But according to the article, that is not the case. In fact, Mayan predictions go way past our present-day, indicating that they expected a future to come even after their long count calendar came to an end.
So what do you think, Hazelwood? Are we doomed? Or not so much? Let us know!

The West Virginia State Council of Vietnam Veterans of America brought its mobile wall displaying the names of 732 West Virginia servicemen from the Vietnam War to be dedicated Saturday morning in Veterans' Square.
Fairmont mayor and Vietnam veteran Ron Straight welcomed the council to the city.
"I extend our appreciation for choosing Fairmont to represent the northern part of West Virginia to dedicate the mobile wall that honors servicemen from our state that were POWs, MIAs and KIAs," he said. "As the wall travels across our state, I hope it will not only serve as a remembrance, but as an educational tool for the young and the old alike."
Cecilio Bezares II, Vietnam veteran and committee chairman, said the wall was initially planned as a project that would take between five and 10 years. Instead, thanks to support from all over the state, it was finished in two years.
"There are so many people to thank," he said. "This community has been an outstanding community. ... I can't mention everybody, there are so many people involved."
The wall was put together by J.D. Signs in Pleasant Valley and an informational book was printed by Presort Plus, both Marion County businesses.
Marion County Commission president Randy Elliott said it was "an honor and a pleasure" to officially dedicate the memorial in Marion County.

HOUSTON—One sunny afternoon in Pearland, the Democratic Party's nominee for her district's seat in Congress stood on a street corner singing in a sweet voice, "Obama's nuts!"
The candidate cheerfully sang her protest ode to one of her supporters holding a sign telling passing motorists, "Pull over to impeach Obama." Every few minutes somebody did, sharing disdainful opinions about Obama and encouraging the Democratic candidate who likens her party's presidential nominee to Adolf Hitler.
"We're dealing with a president who is set towards going toward thermonuclear war and who is a killer," she explained.
Anybody who thinks every Democrat is crazy about President Obama has never met Kesha Rogers, who won the Democratic Party's nomination for the 22nd congressional district of Texas. As a follower of Lyndon LaRouche, whose devotees are often likened to members of a cult, she offers apocalyptic forecasts for the future if the president remains in power.
"The idea of Hitler and Tiergarten Four was that any person who was not fit or qualified for life, life unworthy of life, if you were too old, too crippled, too ill, you weren't fit to live," Rogers said. "That's what Obama's health care policy was based on."
Rogers' name appears on the ballot this year for the second consecutive election year, representing the Democratic Party in a solidly Republican congressional district. Her chance of winning office is almost non-existent in the district once represented by Republican stalwart Tom DeLay. Only a jaw-dropping political miracle would allow her to defeat incumbent U.S. Rep. Pete Olson.
Her presence on the ballot is a distracting embarrassment for local Democratic Party leaders, who've had a hard time recruiting candidates to make a long shot run for Congress in the district.
"Kesha wants attention," said Steve Brown, the chairman of the Ft. Bend County Republican Party. "She's looking for a platform to advance the LaRouche campaign, to try to impeach our president. Obviously, she's not an electable candidate. Unfortunately, we can't seem to get rid of her in Fort Bend County."
Democratic activists considered launching a campaign telling people to vote against her, but they worried confused voters might cast ballots against other Democratic candidates with similar names. So after she won the party's primary, they decided to just ignore her and encourage straight- ticket voting.
"It is a race that she can't win without any money, without any grassroots base," Brown said. "And she has neither."
But her anti-Obama message resonated with voters in her district. Drivers seeing the "impeach Obama" signs and banners held aloft by her supporters honked their horns, yelled encouragement and took pictures with their cell phones. Every few minutes, one of them pulled over and picked up some literature.
Rogers isn't at all surprised.
"No," she said "More people realize what's at stake for the nation right now and they're looking for leadership. And they want to know what's going on. They want to know who has answers."

Skyrim:Promises to Keep
|This page is currently being rewritten as part of the Skyrim Quest Redesign Project.
The page is being rewritten and checked in several stages. All users are welcome to make changes to the page. If you make a change that is relevant to the project, please update this template accordingly, and make sure you have observed the project guidelines.
[edit] Quick Walkthrough
- Speak to Louis Letrush about Frost.
- Talk to Sibbi Black-Briar about it.
- (Optional) Tell Maven Black-Briar about the plan.
- Steal Frost's lineage papers.
- Steal Frost.
- Return to Louis Letrush.
[edit] Detailed Walkthrough
When given the quest by Louis Letrush, you are directed to talk to Sibbi Black-Briar in the Riften Jail, where you can bribe or persuade the guard to be allowed to go in. He explains the whole story of how he got in jail. He mentions that the horse he owes to Louis is not his; in fact, it's owned by the whole Black-Briar family. He directs you to where the lineage papers are, at the Black-Briar Lodge. If you're feeling greedy, you can persuade Sibbi to give you the key to the strongbox containing 250 Septims in the lodge.
You can, at this point, tell Maven Black-Briar about the plot. She asks you to proceed as expected and steal Frost, as she will take care of everything. Having informed Maven or not, make your way east of Riften to the Black-Briar Lodge. The guards will attack you if they see you, so be careful. They each carry a Black-Briar Lodge Key. The doors are locked at levels dependent on that of the player, though the front door tends to be more difficult to lockpick than the side entrance; both can be opened using the Black-Briar Lodge Key.
The easiest way to complete the in-lodge requirements is to kill or evade the outside mercenaries, then enter by the back door, which puts you on the upper level above and mostly out of sight of the dining room containing four mercenaries below you on the main level. The reason for bothering with the upper level at all is to get the unusual gem in the master bedroom on the upper level. If your sneaking skills are high, you can just slink into the bedroom and grab the Stone. If not, or if you just want to kill all the mercenaries, your position as you come in by the back door is perfect, forcing the guards to funnel toward you down a long narrow hall, enabling you to snipe them one by one.
To the right of the ladder in the basement is a strongbox containing 250 gold on top of a crate. The strongbox is master level but can be opened using Sibbi's Stash Key if you got it. Around the corner, you will find the lineage papers on a table. Take the papers and leave the lodge.
Steal the horse named Frost and follow the road away from the lodge until you get close to Louis' quest marker, then cut north to meet him. There are bandits and spiders between the road and Louis, so be prepared to fight them and protect both Louis and Frost; if either die, you will fail the quest. A few well-timed save games will serve you well in case one of them dies.
For your completion conversation with Louis, there are multiple options:
- Receive the payment and to let him go with the horse. It's possible to receive the payment and then immediately steal the horse also, but the quest will count as finished without double-crossing Louis. Note that stealing the horse will make Louis attack you.
- Kill him and take the horse and his items.
- Persuade him to give you the horse and the payment, threatening to tell Maven about everything.
The latter two will grant you a horse, although it won't appear in the statistics as a "horse owned"; still, it behaves like an owned horse (helping in fights, waiting where you leave it, and so on).
[edit] Consequences
- If you persuade Louis into letting you keep Frost, a random event may occur in which a thug appears in front of you claiming to have a "message" from Louis, and then proceeds to attack you.
- If you kill the Black Briar Mercenaries and take Frost but do not bring the horse to Louis, you will eventually be tracked down by Black-Briar thugs who have a bounty on you. Kill them and you will find a note instructing them to "deal with you" (and kill if necessary).
- If you tell Maven and then deliver the horse to Louis, you may encounter a thug and Louis. The thug will kill Louis unless you intervene, and the survivor will attack you.
[edit] Bugs
- After you first speak to Louis, Maven has an incongruous dialogue option to inform her about the theft, even though you have not yet spoken to Sibbi and don't yet know about the plot to steal the horse.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.2.4 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
- If you inform Maven before you have gone to the lodge and stolen the lineage papers, your quest may inexplicably update to show completion of "Steal Frost's Lineage Papers". This bug deprives you of the quest marker on the papers when you get inside Black-Briar Lodge, but you can still complete the quest as normal. Picking up the lineage papers advances the quest. If you simply cannot do without the quest marker and want to inform Maven, steal the Lineage Papers first, then tell Maven, then go back to the lodge and steal the horse (see strategy paragraph in main section, above).
- This bug is fixed by version 1.1 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
- Sometimes Louis is hostile when you are going to give him the horse and will attack you on sight. This might occur after stealing items in the house. To work around this bug, just wait for a day in the city and try again.
- Louis gets duplicated outside of Whiterun near the stables, sometimes stuck in the ground.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.8 of the Official Skyrim Patch.
- Upon meeting Louis with the horse and making the exchange, he may run off instead of mounting Frost, leaving you to take the horse. This happens when you exit his speech early after asking about your pay.
- This bug is fixed by version 1.2.4 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
- If the game is saved while riding Frost and then re-loaded, it's possible Louis will appear standing in the same place where you are sitting. If you trot or gallop, Louis will likewise appear to walk or run, though remaining stuck in the same place on Frost's back. ?
- In the part of the quest where you speak to Sibbi in jail, it is possible that your follower—although by your side the entire time—may end up locked inside one of the jail cells upon your leaving. Unlike losing them in the wilderness or a cave, they will not find their way out upon fast traveling or waiting. The only way to get them out is to pick the lock.
[edit] Quest Stages
- The following empty quest stages were omitted from the table: 15, 250.

HavenHouse provides "the comfort of home and a community of support for families traveling to St. Louis" for medical care.
Here's what's happening: A group of Patch editors will work a concession stand at Thursday's St. Louis Cardinals game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. We intended to donate a portion of our proceeds (estimated between $1,500 and $2,500) to a local charity.
So we had a : Readers who signed up for a Patch newsletter were entered into a drawing. One lucky winner would get to tell us where we should donate the money. That winner was Plastino.
"I nominated HavenHouse because I truly believe in the organization," Plastino told Patch in an email. She's been on the HavenHouse St. Louis Young Professionals Board since March 2011, volunteering at events, the organization's annual Hopefest gala and raising awareness of the organization.
"Since HavenHouse relies heavily on the generosity of donations (corporate and individual) as well as charitable grants, I nominate them for everything I can, and this time we got lucky with Patch," said Plastino, who has blogged about her work with HavenHouse.
Thanks to everyone who entered and if you're at the game on Thursday, please find our concession and buy a hotdog for charity!

Clueless Holding
In his July 2 letter about President Obama's Africa trip, U.S. Rep. George Holding itemized all the costs of personnel, vehicles, ships associated with the trip.
Apparently he thinks that the military personnel and Secret Service agents would not be working and collecting salary during this time if not in Africa, and that the ship and aircraft would be somewhere out of service with no personnel associated with them. He thinks that these expenses could be used for directly paying N.C. teachers salaries.
It is outrageous that a congressman could be so unknowledgeable about how the military and the budgeting process operate, but perhaps it is just the predictable anti-Obama disinformation program at work.

Police give lessons in how they use force
Boston police, reeling from a YouTube video last fall that showed several officers forcefully subduing a 16-year-old boy, are reaching out to community leaders, elected officials, and the news media in an effort to persuade the public that officers have received careful training and are taught strict guidelines on when to use force.
I think its time we remove the mystery around police use of force, Commissioner Edward F. Davis said Thursday night at the Boston Police Academy in Hyde Park, where officials invited several reporters, religious figures, and leaders of the Boston branch of the NAACP to meet with police instructors.
For nearly four hours, about half a dozen uniformed instructors lectured on the guidelines, showed footage of arrests, and traded blows in mock confrontations to show how they respond to violent suspects.

3. "Why didn't he use a Taser?"
4. "Why should police officers have rifles like soldiers?"

Would I attend? Maybe, but four hours is pretty long, is there an intermission? Do I prefer the public learns about the necessity and reality of use of force from their local law enforcement rather than from TV or the internet? Absolutely.
I have a basic grasp of the use of overwhelming force being beneficial to all parties in a conflict as a way to shorten and reduce injuries in engagement. (Not a warrior, don't claim to be one) That's a heck of a hard sell though to people who know they'll only ever be losing one of these engagements - and since they're know they're not terribly forceful people, surely it need not be that overwhelming. Why someone could get hurt! Not sure a four hour session will do it, but it's a start.
I wouldn't attend because I do have an understanding of the need for use of force. However, I do think that it's a good idea.
Maclean makes very valid points. I applaud (and rep) him.
My response was terse, but fallaciously based upon something that I realize is seemingly in very short supply: common sense. I know better than to assume, yet I still at times do so.

I read an article several years ago where the some scientists put average people in shoot/don't shoot scenarios on FATS (Firearms Training Simulator). It turned out very enlightening to the citizens to learn how many times they shot people that should not have been shot, and got "killed" when they should have shot. It opened a lot of eyes as to how little time you have and how easy it is to make a mistake. They were supposed to publish the results for officers accused of using excessive force.YOUR ATTENTION, DO I F@#%ING HAVE IT?

This is one reason why I love the Calibre Press Street Survival course. They invite any elected official to attend for free. That way, they get to see some of the grittiest situations that police officers face. If you have not attended this seminar and you are a LEO, I urge you to do so. I paid for the course, myself, and it was worth every penny. There is even a seminar on the third day of the course for your spouse or significant other. It helps them to understand what you go through and how to be supportive.

do exactly what the police say and they wont need to use force. i think they should be showing people how to listen and fallow orders instead
Some departments host a Citizen's Academy that give an inside look on how police departments function and why they do what they do. I attended APD's Citizen Academy several years ago. It was a great experience. I recommend it to anyone (obviously, LEO's go through your real academy).Verified Libra- There sure are a lot of people born in August around here.

The final straws of sunlight giving way to a reluctant dusk, Edmonton's Tyler Saunders is still out on the Glendale golf course hitting shot after shot and putt after putt. He has already been at...Comments ()
"Probably the most common request for golfers who want a lesson want to know how to hit the ball farther," said Tyler Rumpel, the head pro at Jagare Ridge Golf Club. "Everybody want to hit it longer. "The first key is to tee the ball up higher. Most golfers don't tee the ball up high enough.
Are you kidding me? Competing against the best amateurs in the province, Tyler Saunders — only 18 — didn't just win the Sun Life Financial Alberta amateur, he owned it. One of the youngest players in the field, Saunders won by nine shots, shooting 17-under over four days at Medicine Hat's Desert Blume Golf Club.
Blackhawk Golf Club's Kevin Chow has another putting tip. "A lot of golfers will approach a putt thinking that their target is so many inches or feet outside of the hole," said Chow. "Instead, I like to find a point about halfway between you and the hole — the apex or the highest point the ball will travel before it starts to break — and aim for that spot."
An over-par round hardly ever wins a PGA of Alberta golf tournament. So how did Edmonton's Kevin Day explain losing by one shot when a four-over 76 by Picture Butte's Jamie Gerlitz won at the Olds Golf Club last week?
You've missed the green and found yourself short, perhaps with a bunker between you and the green. Now what do you do? Blair Buttar, the assistant pro at the Glendale Golf and Country Club, has the answer: The flop shot.
In the not-so-distant past, Edmonton could always look forward to an annual stop by the Canadian Tour, now called the PGA Tour Canada. Rotating between Royal Mayfair, Windermere, Derrick and Edmonton Country Club — at one point, The Ranch was also in the mix — golf's future stars would come to town once a year and show off their skills.
Can't putt? Here's a tip from Brent Chapman of the Edmonton Petroleum Club that will make you a better putter. "Instead of aiming for a target near the golf hole, pick an intermediate target six inches in front of your ball on a line that the ball must travel over to get into the hole," said Chapman.
Three times, Tim Buckland was stricken with testicular cancer. Three times, defying the odds, Buckland survived.
Coming back to the scene of the crime, Frank Van Dornick wasn't going to make the same mistake twice. Fifteen years ago, he had a five-stroke lead in the Alberta mid-amateur when, just as it was last week, the tournament was held at the Athabasca Golf & Country Club.
Chipping is one of the most misunderstood concepts in golf, says Jake Behiels of Cougar Creek Golf Resort. "Most amateurs want to try to help the ball into the air; they try to scoop the ball," said Beheils. "They try and lean back to get the ball in the air. But that is exactly the opposite of what you should be doing.
Fortunately, I don't have to quit golf just yet. In a moment of stupidity many years ago, I told him I would quit golf if he ever beat me. I got him by one stroke on Saturday when he doubled-bogeyed his final hole at Jagare Ridge. Neither of us played very well, but there are few things in life more wonderful than a father/son golf game on a beautiful course and an even more beautiful morning.
What's the toughest shot in golf? According to more than a dozen Edmonton golf professionals asked that question, the answer was overwhelmingly the mid-length bunker shot.
Want to make more putts? Consider the hole to be a clock, Belvedere head pro Kyle Brandt says. "The key to reading your putts is to look at where the golf ball will go straight into the hole," said Brandt. "I call this the front door. For example, on a flat putt, the ball would go in at 6 o'clock on the hole — 12 o'clock being the back of the cup.
At the same time the National Allied Golf Association (NAGA) unveiled an Economic Impact Study of Golf in Canada last week, NAGA was also busy lobbying Canadian MPs for a tax break. While other forms of entertainment, such as the cost of hockey tickets, are eligible for deductions of 50 per cent, and unlike in the U.S., green fees and golf club memberships for Canadians are not deductible as a business expense.
An Economic Impact Study of Golf in Canada conducted by the National Allied Golf Associations (NAGA) and released Tuesday showed that while the number of golfers has remained static, the number of rounds played has dropped significantly. Based on a survey of nearly 15,000 golfers and over 300 courses the study pointed out that while 70 million rounds of golf were played in 2008 that number fell to 60 million last year.
"A good golf swing starts with your set-up and your posture," said Blair Oko, a CPGA professional at his Blair Oko golf academy. "Yet it is one of the most neglected parts of the golf swing. "A good set-up comes down to getting into an athletic position, which is the same thing for most sports, whether it's a tennis player getting set to return a serve, a baseball player getting set to field a ground ball or a hockey goalie getting into position to stop a puck.

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Steve Mariucci on Packers without Aaron Rodgers: 'average . . . very average'
Much of the commentary about the Packers on Sunday assumed Seneca Wallace was the starting quarterback.
But the Seneca Wallace era lasted just seven days.
Now the clock has started on the Scott Tolzien era, with John Kuhn warming up on the sideline.
"It's been tough for the Packers losing all those offensive weapons, now you lose the great quarterback," said Steve Mariucci of the NFL Network. "It hurts you exponentially, it really does. So they have become an average team all of a sudden. Very average. But I do think they are going to win a few games with Seneca Wallace."
Mariucci did not say how many games the Packers could win with Tolzien.
For Kurt Warner of the NFL Network, the point is Rodgers is not behind center, regardless of who takes his place.
"I think it affects everything," Warner said about Rodgers' absence. "It's a quarterback-driven league. Everybody in this division, even the 2-7 Vikings average 24 points or more. You have to score points. That obviously falls back to your quarterback. Look at the Green Bay Packers and Seneca Wallace. He is 6-15 in his career when he starts and he averages 17.5 points a game. That's not enough to get it done in this division."
To hear Cris Carter of ESPN tell it, maybe it was a blessing Tolzien played most of the game and not Wallace.
"There is no drastic drop off in position in the National Football League more than quarterback and the backup," Carter said. "Then when you go to the elite of the elite, that drop is even larger. Seneca Wallace has not been successful. We make fun of him a little bit for his name and everything. Unless he has had a growth spurt or something this past week, another four inches or so, I don't have no confidence in him. They lost the one guy that they cannot afford to lose.
"Seneca Wallace is a 6-15 as starter in his career," Carter said. "Among active quarterbacks with at least 20 starts, listen to these names, only Blaine Gabbert and Brady Quinn have a lower winning percentage than Wallace, who hasn't started a game since 2011. So laughing and joking aside, this is what you are dealing with."
What Green Bay is dealing with, according to ESPN's Tom Jackson, is a talent drain due to injury
"I think they have so many weaknesses on the defensive side of the ball," Jackson said. "The lack of talent in his receiving corps in terms of people absent from it. The only person who can make up for this is Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers, (Peyton) Manning, (Tom) Brady, (Drew) Brees. You take any of those four guys off the field, away from their football team, it's going to be a failure. What you saw from coach (Mike) McCarthy, when he was standing at the podium, I have never seen that face on him. When he said I have never gone through anything like this so far as coach of the Packers. He was letting you know that however long Rodgers was out of that lineup, this team is going to suffer for it."
Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford said in an interview that it was important for his team to take advantage of Rodgers' absence.
"With Aaron going down, nobody likes to see it," Stafford said. "I've been there. I've been in his shoes. It's not fun. He is the unquestioned leader of that team, a great player, one of the best quarterbacks in this league. So it is important while he is getting healthy again that we do take care of business. Any time a great player is off the field, you have got to capitalize and do well while that person is healing up."
The Lions capitalized on the road by beating the Bears and moving into first place in the NFC North.
"It is right there for the Lions," said Rich Eisen of the NFL Network. "Right there. Aaron Rodgers is out for the foreseeable future, may have been knocked out so far into the regular season, the Lions may not see him on Thanksgiving Day."
Does Rodgers' absence put a fork in Green Bay's divisional hopes and playoff hopes?
"It's going to be hard, depending on how long he is going to be out," Warner said. "We have heard a possible three weeks. I think it probably is going to be longer than that. But how do you overcome losing a guy like Aaron Rodgers? He means so much to this football team. The one thing you have to like is they are running the football better. Since week five he is number one in the league running the football. Maybe they can weather the storm. They play the Giants. They play Minnesota. Maybe they can get those wins. But for me it comes down to . . . making some big plays in the passing game. This team is based off big plays. Aaron Rodgers is third in the league in making big plays with his arm. . . . I don't think they can continue to win games playing defense and running the football."
Marshall Faulk of the NFL Network did reach for the fork when it came to Green Bay's playoff hopes.
"Deion Sanders calls Aaron Rodgers 'Like That' for a reason," said Faulk. "I mean, when you get a name 'Like That' . . . because he plays like that. And when he's not in that offense, it's not like that. I don't expect them to make it to the playoffs. They're done (without) Aaron Rodgers. They're done kind of like the Colts without Peyton Manning. I'm telling you, everything that they do revolved around what Aaron Rodgers is capable of. That offensive line, the fact they are moving guys around, guys are hurt, because Aaron Rodgers can get out the pocket, throwing the ball down the field when he's pressured. Listen, their playoff chances are over if Aaron Rodgers is out for an extended period of time."
Michael Irvin of the NFL Network sees the injuries too numerous to overcome.
"It's not just having the best quarterback in the NFL," Irvin said. "It's just not Aaron Rodgers. (Randall) Cobb is not in the game. There are real issues here. Jermichael Finley is not in the game. No way this team is going to be able to get into the playoffs like this. Aaron Rodgers, even when he comes back, how much work can he have with that shoulder."
Mariucci reminded viewers of the Packers' season of 2010.
"They went to the Super Bowl with a 10-6 team," Mariucci said. "So yeah, it's going to be tougher. 10-6 might win it. . . . This run game is going to have to carry them for the next four games while Aaron Rodgers is mending. But I think they can win a couple of these games and keep in the playoff race."
Fox game analyst Troy Aikman said having two quarterbacks as durable and as good as Brett Favre and Rodgers is a kind of given in Green Bay.
"If you are a Packers fan or in this organization you take for granted just how durable that position has been," Aikman said. "Not only the consistency of the guys showing up but just the level of play between Favre and Aaron Rodgers. Now to come into this game, it's different to see someone else. You've got seneca wallace. Next thing you know Scott Tolzien has taken over."
Aikman like some of what Tolzien showed in the game.
"He's done some nice things," Aikman said about Tolzien at the end of the second half. "They've moved the ball. They have not come away any points, but they have been able to move the ball. . . . To go to Scott Tolzien after Seneca Wallace and still have some of the production, they are having moving the football, is pretty impressive."
But expecting the former Wisconsin quarterback to come in and win a game by himself like this is beyond his reach.
"Scott Tolzien, he's done a lot of good things," Aikman said. "He has been a little wild on some throws. It's cost him. (It's) asking a lot from him coming in the way he had to in this game and perform."

Make that very below average.
Steve Mariucci is average. Very average.
He is kind to say they are average. Without Rodgers they are below average at best. Defense in 4th quarter stinks again this week.
Time to change the name to "Aaron Rodgers and The Green Bay Packers." Or he could ask for 2 times his salary and get it, no prob.
The offense isn't going to be the same without Aaron. End of conversation on that. What is embarrassing is the horrible way the defense is playing. Lack of effort, missing assignments, not willing to tackle and the list goes on. Put this loss once again on the defense.Hide replies
We scored 13 points. That doesn't win many football games. Tough to play with a number 3 QB but that is what we are dealing with. Yes the defense played poorly but my point is we have major issue on both sides of the ball - a lot of them stemming from injuries. We are done this year - even if we are still in contention when A-Rod comes back we have no Cobb, Finely, and gimpy Mathews. Sad to see such a promising season crumble due to injury, but this is where we are.
Well, if you want to play with the possibilities we easily could have had 14 more points, since we were in prime position quite a bit. The defense did give up the equivalent of 2 hail mary's.
We had no "promising season" so do not fret over something lost when it was never found. This team regardless the record in the regular season would go nowhere in the post-season, this duck don't fly. Even with Arodj, the coaches cannot coach.
I was hunting and only saw the highlight of the first TD, but the first score didn't look like a hail mary to me, more like an underthrown ball that the Pack was lucky to get a hand on. If he leads the receiver, the db's aren't even close.
Despite the loss of A-Rod we still could have won the past two games if we had a decent defense. One word spells the Packers defense - _efense. I lay this squarely on Ted Thompson's shoulders and his refusal to sign free agents. Draft and develop is not an unsound strategy but no team can draft enough quality players to succeed in this league to live solely by the draft. Can't help but wonder where we would be if we signed Dashon Goldon if we signed Dashon Goldshon to shore up the secondary?Hide replies
An injured safety would solve everything! Genius!!
It's 2:15pm, why is Seneca Wallace still on the roster? We pay him $800k/year, not to hold a clipboard, but to be ready when his number is called. He demonstrated he is not up to that task. get rid of him.
aaron rodgers has won one super bowl. he's 30 years old. trent dilfer won one super bowl. until aaron wins two, he's no better than dilfer or any oth qb who won one super bowl. rodger is 30 years old, guys. 30.
point being, when rodgers is healthy, more often than not, he's had his butt handed to him in the playoffs. face facts, folks. he's good, but ain't a hall of famer.Hide replies
Rodges wil be HOF but you're right in the fact that no way this team would win a playoff game at SEA, SF, or NO. Playoffs is about heart and def. This team has neither.

More than 100 Ryders pedaled, our instructors led the charge, and our greater community (including local businesses) responded enthusiastically. The result? On Saturday, Feb. 9, we came together to raise a total of $7,200 for cyclists with disabilities.
In total, our 2nd Annual Ryde-A-Thon indoor cycling marathon raised $3,600, which was matched by Dance Marathon at the University of Michigan and C.S. Mott Children's Hospital for this summer's Programs to Educate All Cyclists (PEAC) summer session right here in Saline.
In addition, thanks to business sponsors we were able to offer more than $1,000 in raffle prizes and keep everyone well nourished and hydrated throughout the event – making sure the energy stayed high and our teams stayed motivated!
When the two of us founded RydeOn! together in 2011, we wanted to be sure that our indoor cycling business would benefit our community in several ways; not just helping individuals lead healthier, happier lives, but also by paying forward the many gifts we've received both personally and as small business owners in the greater Ann Arbor area. Our yearly PEAC event helps us do that in a way that is directly related to our mission – and not only that, but Liz Horvat and the rest of the PEAC crew are a joy to work with!
We'd like to give a special shout-out to some of the most creatively-named teams this side of Roller Derby including the Byker Babes, the 1045 Zulu Crew, Whitmore's Wheelies, and Riding with Scissors, who filled this year's event with zany fun.
We also want to point out the fantastic support of our corporate sponsors, who made sure that every dollar raised is going straight to PEAC and not to event expenses. When you're out and about this year, please consider supporting these local establishments that have been so generous to PEAC and our Ryde-A-Thon:
Dance Marathon at the University of Michigan
Dr. Sheryl Pomerance, DDS, FAGD, PLLC
Tippins Specialty Wine & Foods
University of Michigan Athletic Department
This year's Ryde-A-Thon may be over, but our area's cyclists with disabilities still need support. If you can, please donate here to help keep PEAC peddlin' strong! Also, if our Ryde-A-Thon was your first experience of indoor cycling with RydeOn! and you can't wait for more, a quick click here will get you started with classes.

Special to the Record-Eagle
BAIN — McThe theme for the seesaw non-league boys' hardwood clash between host McBain and Traverse City St. Francis was evident early on Saturday. The victorious Gladiators stormed to a 25-12 first-quarter lead only to have McBain battle back and narrow the gap to single digits early in the second quarter.
The Glads pushed back to take an 18-point lead late in the second quarter, only to have the Ramblers slice the lead to 12 by halftime. The Glads led by 19 points midway through the third quarter and 19 points again early in the fourth quarter. Each time, McBain somehow scrapped and clawed back into contention.
Before it was over, the gritty Ramblers would cut the deficit to just six points with the chance to trim even more off the lead in the final 20 seconds.
When the final buzzer mercifully sounded, though, St. Francis was still on top. The intense 68-62 victory enabled the Glads (7-0) to remain unbeaten. McBain, which has played a difficult early schedule, slipped to 3-3.
St. Francis coach Keith Haske, who has gone head-to-head with McBain coach Bruce Koopman in several thrilling Class C regional playoffs when Haske was coaching at Charlevoix, wasn't a bit surprised the Ramblers rallied the way they did.
"They're a good program with good kids and a great coach," Haske said. "They played hard and battled to make it close at the end. That's what you expect from McBain. We knew their kids wouldn't quit."
Haske said he was very pleased with his team's performance except for the last four minutes.
"I think we got a little fatigued," he said. "The pace of the game took a toll on both sides. I'm not a big believer in slowing things down in those situations so we kept going with the full-court pressure. We missed too many free throws and didn't finish as strong as we should have but give McBain credit. They kept at it."
St. Francis led 58-41 after three quarters and promptly pushed the lead to 60-41 at the outset of the fourth quarter when senior guard Damon Sheehy, who turned in a sizzling effort at both ends, drove to the hole and kissed one off the glass.
McBain big man Hunter Powell countered with a 3-pointer with 7:37 remaining, however, and that sparked a 13-4 run that brought the Ramblers within 64-54 midway through the quarter. Powell went 4-for-4 from the line in the run and scored nine of his game-high 25 points.
The Glads had opportunities to create more separation from the charity stripe over the next two minutes but made just 2-of-5 from the line, enabling the Ramblers to trim the lead to 66-57 with 2:07 to go when senior Jared Larr drained a triple.
A driving lay-up from McBain guard Grant Gugle made it 66-59 with 1:29 to go and then the Glads failed twice to add to the lead, missing the front end of one-and-one chances. The Glads were just 6-of-11 from the line in the second half and 9-of-17 for the game.
A free throw by Gugle made the score 66-60 with 1:00 showing on the clock. The surging Ramblers had the chance to cut into the lead even more as the game clock wound under 25 seconds but could not convert after getting three straight offensive rebounds.
Sheehy was fouled after finally gaining possession of the ball with 17 seconds left and he hit twice to make it 68-60.
A driving bucket by Gugle in the closing seconds made the final score 68-62.
"We were down 19 at the start of the fourth quarter and I was already out of timeouts," said McBain coach Bruce Koopman. "The kids kept chipping away and chipping away and made a game of it. We talked during the break about everybody knowing their role and about playing hard for 32 minutes. We did that tonight against a very good opponent.
"I played nine guys tonight and they all contributed," he added.
Koopman said he enjoyed renewing the coaching rivalry with Haske.
"He's definitely one of the best coaches in the state," Koopman said. "I rank him up there with coach (Jeff) McDonald (of Cadillac). They're two of the best around anywhere. Any time you get to go head-to-head with coach Haske, it's a great challenge."
Kody Kleinrichert rang up 20 points to join Sheehy in double digits for the Glads. He also grabbed seven boards. Connor Archer tallied eight and Austin Currie hit for seven. Sheehy, who exhibited excellent floor vision in the fast, furious contest, finished with 12 assists and also recorded four steals.
Larr, who played a similar role in fueling the up-tempo attack with the Ramblers, landed 12 points to join Powell in double figures. Gugle struck for eight and Trevor Lutke scored five. Junior Kyle Heuker came off the bench and provided quality depth down low, scoring four on put-backs.
McBain won the JV game 52-44. Patrick Lewis launched 14 points for the Glads and Matt Seybert hit for 11. Ethan Eisenga scored 12 to lead the Ramblers.
St. Francis has a huge Lake Michigan Conference clash ahead on Tuesday at unbeaten Grayling. McBain plays Thursday at the court of unbeaten Lake City.
St. Francis won the freshman game 53-32 as Joe Coates scored 14 points, Joe Trucco 10 and Jay Klingelsmith added solid defense.

— WASHINGTONVILLE – A man was left homeless when fire destroyed the house he was renting Sunday night.
The two-story farmhouse, at 2194 Washingtonville Road in Derry Township, was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived, said Jim Roberts, assistant chief of the Washingtonville Fire Company.
Roberts did not have the name of the man who was home at the time.
The man was sleeping in the back part of the house at the time but was able to flee through the front door.
"He was able to escape and got out with a few cuts on his hand. He had trouble getting the door open and had to break the window," he said of the tenant who lost all his possessions.
Someone took him to the hospital to have his hand bandaged.
Roberts said the house, which was later demolished, was a total loss. He hasn't estimated the damage to the property owned by Gary Aurand of Diehl Road in the Danville area.
Robert said the fire is believed to be accidental and to have started in the area of a wood burner. He wasn't sure if the blaze started in the chimney area.
The tenant had no renter's insurance. Aurand had insurance on the structure.
A state police fire marshal is not expected to investigate.
Fire officials ordered the demolition by Matt Betz Excavating for safety reasons. "We had to have it pulled down so we could finish extinguishing the fire. It was too shaky to get into," Roberts said.
The 60 to 70 Firefighters were hampered most by the cold. "That limited our availability to water sources," he said of the water they hauled from Montour PPL Plant hydrants about two miles away.
He said the Red Cross wasn't notified with the property owner saying he would assist the tenant.
Aurand was assisting the tenant in finding a place to stay, Roberts said.
Firefighters remained at the scene until 2:30 a.m. Monday.
Besides the Washingtonville company, firefighters responded from Valley Township, Liberty Township, Danville and East End in Mahoning Township. Also summoned were companies from Union and Columbia counties. A Danville ambulance responded.

Test cricket, at the heart of the game, is about narratives. We who love this form of the game tend to romanticise it, and this leads to incredible stories and epic tales. The plot of a Test twists and turns, much like a good book, and at the end of a good match, the story is resolved in a satisfying manner.
Context is important too. A Test match can be a continuation of a theme or a turning point. Over the last few weeks, there have been multiple Tests which fans will be talking about for years: Classic matches where the advantage swung back and forth, where dreams were realised and shattered, where commentators didn't have to grasp at superlatives to hype up the games.
The significance of a period of cricket like this, even a brief one, is important. It is times like these that will bring fans back to the purist's game. Those with an understanding of Test cricket know that the result is not always the most important outcome of a match. It is how the teams got to the result that matters.
Take for example the draw between South Africa and Australia. Nothing to write home about there - on paper it was just a match that ended in a stalemate. But what if you consider that South Africa had to bat an entire day, with only six wickets in hand, to save the match? The name Faf du Plessis was not widely known before this match. In fact, it was his debut Test match. He has now become a legend. South Africa, to an extent, owe their defence of the No. 1 spot to him. Every good story needs a hero, even one with an unlikely name like Faf.
A triumph against the odds is a template that many great stories are based on. That could easily be applied to England's recent win in India. Make no mistake, England have been terrible in the subcontinent over the past few years. After being predictably thrashed in the first Test, hopes were not high for the second. It took redemptive performances from two players who have been ridiculed and mocked throughout their careers - Kevin Pietersen and Monty Panesar - for England to score an upset in Mumbai.
Sometimes characters off the field will appear in stories about Test cricket. Martin Crowe made his return recently, not with the bat, but with the pen. He wrote a fierce call to arms to the New Zealand team, in the wake of arguably their worst run of form in recent years. His intervention, like a ghostly Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars, seemed to provide the impetus for the Kiwis to start believing in themselves.
Like England, New Zealand are rubbish on the subcontinent. But who will ever be able to forget Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson grinding out the first day at the P Sara Oval, followed by Tim Southee and Trent Boult tearing into the aging Sri Lankan batting order? It was a triumph of youth over experience, and about as unlikely as David defeating Goliath. Kiwi fans, so often starved of good news, have compared this win with not only Hobart last year, but other memorable Test wins across history.
Sometimes the story is one we've heard before. Bangladesh are adept at turning good positions into defeats, and they managed this in spectacular style against the West Indies. After doing absolutely everything to get the upper-hand in Dhaka, they somehow managed to let it slip away. Another debutant, Sohag Gazi, bowled the match of his life to set up a chance to win. As is so often the case with Bangladesh, the batsmen were the villains of this tale. The target was 245, tough, but considering how hard they had to work to get there, it was heartbreaking not to reach. Let's hope this story doesn't keep repeating itself.
Finally, every tale ends with an epilogue. We witnessed the end of one of the great Test players, Ricky Ponting. How fitting that his career, which has had so many challenges, should end against the best team in the world.
Ponting, in cricketing terms, has lived his life to the fullest. From fighting personal demons in his youth, to regaining the Ashes in the later years of his career, he has been the archetypal Aussie battler. He is also the last survivor from the great Australian team which conquered all. His retirement brings to an end the epic saga of one of the greatest team ever.
The nature of Test cricket lends itself perfectly to narratives like this. How else can we understand a game that takes a week to complete? After matches like what we have recently seen, it is clear test cricket doesn't need to be revived. It already is alive and well. Here's to many more great tales, yet to be told.

Steve Hirschfeld- RHP (9-8-85)
Acquired: 9th round pick in 2007 from San Diego State
2011 team: New Britain Rock Cats
2011 Stats: 8-8, 3.73 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 128 IP, 43 BB, 90K
After missing a lot of time in 2010, Hirschfeld got off to a great start in 2011. He was the sethspeaks.net selection as top Twins minor league pitcher in April and May. In four April starts, he went 1-0 with a 2.05 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP. In 22 innings, he gave up 15 hits and walked five while striking out 18. In five starts in May, he went 2-2 with a 2.93 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP. In 30.2 innings, he gave up 21 hits, walked eight and struck out 23. He was "just" honorable mention in June despite going 2-2 with a 3.00 ERA in five starts. He made six more starts in August before an innings limit pushed him to the bullpen in August.
2010 was a trying season for Hirschfeld. He pitched just 32 innings because of an arm injury. It was frustrating because 2009 was a terrific year for him in Ft. Myers. He went 7-7 but posted a 2.23 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP in 32 appearances, including 17 starts. He went to the Arizona Fall League at the end of that season. In 2008 he went 10-5 with a 3.30 ERA in Beloit.
Drafted in the 29th round by the Expos in 2004 out of high school in Utah, Hirschfeld went to college. He was drafted out of junior college the next year by the Rockies in the 25th round but instead decided to the College of South Nevada and then San Diego State University. In 2007 he, went 5-4 with a 4.41 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP at SDSU before the Twins drafted him in the 9th round and sent him to Elizabethton.
Hirschfeld is 6-5 and 220 pounds. He has very good control and does not give up many home runs. His fastball sits between 87 and 90, occasionally touching 91 mph. He is not a strikeout pitcher, so not allowing free passes is crucial. He has a good curveball and a sharp slider. The unfortunate thing about his lost 2010 season is that it is a year of lost development. One thing he needs to continue to work on his changeup.

Stats: baseball-reference
promoted to ROC & made debut tonight.
5IP 3h 0r 2bb 2k
congrats & bout time
Has Hirschfeld got any future with he big club??
He's finally made consecutvie starts in AAA for first time & is probably there to stay (full yr too late IMO as he earned it last yr).
At 26 (27 Sept 8), he is again a Rule V probable. Could he be our version of a Terry Doyle. He's got another yr till FA.
3.33 ERA in 497 career minor league IP with 6.5K/9. His only downfall is he doesnt throw hard (surprising in the org) but he gets guys out.
Jeff Manship is out of options after this yr.....I could see Hirch being that kind of swing guy for the Twins the next couple yrs.
optioned back to New Brit...not good when Jeff Manship & Nick Blackburn are the guys who run you out of town

It might be the first week of high school classes, but it is Week Two of football.
I'll be heading to the Williamsville East at West Seneca East matchup at 7 p.m. and I'll have live play-by-play updates from that one. Lauren Mariacher and our staff of video/photographers will be at additional games.
We encourage you to tweet updates with the hashtag #preptalkscores attached -- that's the quickest way for us to share the information through the live chat (tweets with that hashtag will automatically show up). You can also certainly still tweet those updates to @bufnewspreptalk and @KeithMcSheaBN.
As of Friday afternoon, our high school scoreboard page is down due to our transition to a redesigned web site. We hope to have it up by Friday night. If it remains down, you can still track all the football scores (and any other scores tweeted to #preptalkscores) via the blog. We appreciate your patience with us during this major switchover.
* * *
We'll be back with another live blog to monitor Saturday's games, and on Sunday night we will broadcast PrepTalkTV's new, live 30-minute show here at buffalonews.com.

Check this out, live on the telethon in 1984.
I remember this one like it was yesterday. I went to sleep kind of early that night, but was told Jerry played it again, in the wee hours. Lots of cool stuff happened in the wee hours!
It was like a box of chocolates; you just never knew.
So, no matter when you woke up, there might be something to see. It wasn't all "Carrot-top"! It wasn't!

In the little town of Richfield, when two or more inches of snow falls the city's plows hit the roads.
Or do they?
While I was perusing the City of Richfield's Facebook page last week, I stumbled upon a lively comment accusing the city of a sub-par plowing performance.
"Seriously if this is what the City calls cleaning up our streets they ought to be ashamed of themselves," the citizen wrote.
See the full comment in the photo box above.
This reminded me of a post I received on Richfield Patch's Facebook page Jan. 28.
"Plows? No plows in site in our neighborhood," Derek Brown wrote. "I hope they come and cleanup the slush before tomorrow night or we will have several inches of ice!"
I've personally never given much thought to this until now. (As Sunday dumped a few heavy inches on us all in the Twin Cities metro area.)
So, Patch has to ask: How would you rate your city in the plowing department? Good? Bad? Ugly? Tell us in the comments section below.

8-9pm EST (skating part starts at 8:30 p.m.).
Don't know if this qualifies to be on here, but will post just in case anyone is interested.
The best and most accurate portrayal of figure skating ever to grace tv sets!
My favourite part was when Peppermint Patty found out Marcie's mom owned a sewing machine, and forced Marcie to be her personal Vera Wang.
Thank goodness Snoopy came to the rescue.
Watched it with my 1 year old & 3 year old grand daughters. They loved it - so did I :-) LOL at Snoopy as the coach.
I missed it? Grrrrrrr. I have it on VCR tape though. Any idea if it will be on again soon?

---- — ROCKPORT — Rockport school officials have made their initial cuts to fiscal 2014 budget outlines, but the current preliminary spending plan for the 2013-14 school year shows a potential 3.5 percent — of $407,704 — increase from the current year.
And that's before any potential salary increases are included through teachers and othre contracts that are still being negotiated, says first-year Superintendent of Schools Robert Liebow.
Liebow said that town taxpayers will likely see an increase to cover school spending, with the town's share of the school budget pegged to rise by 909,835, according to the tentative budget.
Liebow added, however, that Rockport's schools have their hands tied on a number of the increases.
"New standards for special education means we will have to be taking more kids out of our district," he said.
In that vein, the preliminary budget document shows a total of $4,258,688 has been allocated to funding special education needs, up by $530,175 from the 2013 fiscal year. Liebow said there are no other alternatives to sending students out of district. Having the proper resources in house, from teachers to equipment, would be far too expensive and difficult, he said.
"Even if we could afford the right teachers and resources, we would still have to find them," Liebow said. However, school officials have been cutting from earlier versions of the budget. The first version of the budget presented in November had an additional $942,044 tacked on to it. Liebow said that even the initial version of the budget was modest.
"I didn't tell anyone to make a wish list," he said.
Shawn Maguire, Principal of Rockport Elementary, hopes to see one $85,000 yearly expense survive the cuts – money to fund a position of assistant principal. Liebow said higher core standards passed down from the state will require heavier workloads for administrators, and may be too much for Maguire to handle alone. Maguire, meanwhile, holds a positive outlook the budget line item will stay.
"What I'm really excited about is the possibilities," he said during a phone interview Friday. "We would really like to have someone with curriculum expertise as well."
Maguire said he is looking for an assistant principal with a strong background in math to better serve the school. He said the school already has a designated reading specialist and a math specialist would be a welcomed addition and the position is a top priority.
"It would be very difficult to meet goals without another supervisory position," he said.
Rockport's Finance Committee will meet tonight at 7 to discuss the status of the budget. Additionally, the Board of Selectmen will meet on Dec. 18 to discuss the progress of faculty and staff contract talks, along with other budget items within the school district.

Even time I have a period of time that I seem to be doing better, it is like my body makes adjustments and I'm back to square one.
If you have something you tried that has worked for you, would you please share it. I'm on my sixth medication and out of work again. I've always been a worker, pain free, and in good shape so I'm not use to this new way of life. I like to be in control and the fibromyalgia tends to take control. I would like to be in control again so any suggestions would be helpful (foods to stay away from, execises, foods to try, vitamins, etc.). What worked for you?
I would like to encourage you to be sure and get your Vitamin D level checked....as this is important for a lot of people these days....low Vitamin D can cause pain within itself...and it can also affect other illnesses as well...this is a simple blood test...but you MUST ASK the doctor to check it...as it is not included (yet) in the normal bloodwork that they do...
I think we all like to be in control....and this is really hard to do with the wrath of the dragon breathing down our backs....we have to figure out how to pace, pace and pace....with most everything that we do...we can no longer do things we once did....as the dragon rears it ugly head at us...and we pay for what we do....
I am one of the FMers here who has learned how to "control my pain" by taking vitamins and supplements...and doing other things as well...it took me a long time to figure out just what I needed....but I can now manage so much better than when I first got sick...
I take magnesium and malate combination supplement, Omegas, Super B Complex, Vitamin D, and Calcium...plus others as I do have other health issues...but these are the ones which help my FM pain the most....I also use a heating pad, when needed, Stopain Spray, when needed....take a hot shower at night using lavender bath salts to help my body relax...so that I can sleep better....Sleep is so important for us FMers....as this is when our bodies can repair themselves...I also do gentle stretching and gentle exercising daily....I try to watch what I eat...
We are all different though and what works for one may or may not work for another...this does take time and effort and a trial and error process to figure out what your body needs...
a person should allow at least 6-8 weeks of trying something new....(unless, of course, what you are doing is making things worse) before deciding if what you are trying is really helping you....
I have tried different kinds of medicines...but did not find anything which helped me without causing side effects and I did not need anything else to deal with...
I do take Pristiq for depression....and this helps keep my emotions under control...
I hope this helps....I would also encourage you to be sure and check out the info under "tips" and "resources" to the right of this page....there you will find some good info....be sure and read "member toolbox" and "nutrition and vitamins"...
Take care and good luck...
.I started out using Cymbalta to help with my pain..and it was helpful for about a year...since then I use mostly vitamins, like Mimi..
and some exercise is always good..just start with some gentle stretching...don't think about what you "should do"...think about what you "can do" everyday...can you lift you arms everyday and hold a stretch??? Can you stretch your legs out everyday?
Like mimi said...read the tips and toolbox post...Glad mimi gave you all the most important info...I just wanted to say welcome..
As far as meds I have had a lot of bad side effects so with the Dr.'s help I have come up with ones to take on as needed basis.
Alprazolam for panic attacks which can be alleviated if I stop the pain with tramadol before it gets out of whack. If I start having trouble sleeping I take a cyclobenzaprine early in the evening and then very low dose of alprazolam so I don't worry about not sleeping.
My Dr.'s it is a process of tricking the brain.
I will research the vitamins above.
Thanks again!
Thanks for the advice because I am always thinking about what I can't do.
Thanks again!
I'll try slowly adding the vitamins and I'll definately check out the member toolbox.
Thanks again!
Also check out the Tool Box on the right side of the home page. I would also suggest you research every thing about Fibro. Knowledge is power. I had no place to get help back when I was first DX'd and believe me I looked ; ( The beauty of this site is that we have Dr. P and if you have a question just post it and he'll get right back with you to answer it.
I would also suggest that you read Dr. Holicks's book on the why, the need for and reason for Vit D. Or you can find him on line just google his name. Research has shown that low levels of Vit D3 works against those of us with Fibro. And those with Fibro are being shown to be chronically low, they think it's because of or due to or can be a reason for some of the Fibro symptoms. Getting back into a normal D range 40 -60's will help. And I'm proof that it does. It took my deep leg bone pain away with a few weeks of starting high D doses. : )
I know I'm not adding much more info here, but the other posts have gone over all the areas I would have. Please let us know how you are doing and share your info with the new comers.
Linda R. : )
I also take Cymbalta, Soma, Xanax, Tylenol PM, Vit. D, Magnesium oil (on skin), D-Ribose, B-12 plus a really good multivitamin (Thorne Basic V).
I still definitely feel the Fibro, but pacing myself has helped. If I am active one day, I become a Fibrosloth the next.
I have done 4 bike tours and have always been very active and healthy. This condition has robbed me of my life.
I am currently on 90mg of Cymbalta (for depression and fibro) 80mg of Nadalol (to prevent my migraines) and 600mg of Neurontin (for pain prevention and to help me sleep at night). I take Relpax as needed for my migraines along with Ondansetron to help with nausea. I also take Tramadol on an as needed basis for pain. I have tried a very long list of meds and this combo is helping me best so far.
As for therapies, I still benefit most from massage. At home, I cope with hot baths and LOTS and LOTS of gentle stretching. Walking also helps when I am up to it. I have to remind myself to pace myself on my good days to ensure I'm not bedridden for the next two.
I still have quite a bit of fatigue, but I'm still learning how to cope with that.
I also try and keep myself abreast of new information with regard to fibro.
I'm doing mostly well on Elavil since 2005. I "ask(ed my) doctor about Lyrica" and he laughed - he said that we're not going to mess with a good thing.
I highly recommend yoga. It's non-impact and concentrates on stretching and relieving stiff or tense muscles and joints. My DH swears I've grown an inch in height since I started practicing 15 months ago. My instructor teaches one adaptive class each week - it's for people recovering from illness or injury, almost like a physical therapy, and I'm not the only FMer in the class. I've actually gone to a couple of other, tougher classes, and what I can do, I do - what I can't do, I don't.
As for food, I stay away from artificial anything, esp sweeteners. A good beef hotdog is better for me than a diet soda. I try not to eat a lot of junk food, but when I do I try to make sure it has some redeeming quality.
I was recently diagnosed with fb which has become worse the last few months. I started out on Nortriptyline but it really didn't do anything for me. My dr. gave me a months sample of Cymbalta which helped for the first week but then gave me horrible leg cramps. I wouldnt take it again for that reason and the fact that it was more than $80.00. I tried Neurontin but stopped taking it after 4 days. It make me horribly sick. So, I went back to the Nortriptyline but this time I had a side effect of hot flashes and sweating profusely. Now I'm on nothing but Fioricet for stress/migrane headaches and Ativan for panic attacks and help sleeping. I had taken Vicoden until the prescription was gone but it didn't help as I had hoped. Some days it did. Other's I got no relief.
After reading the posts here, I'm going to start taking the vitimans listed that I don't currently already take. I've been on vit. D but my last test came back low so I've increased the doage. Taking a lot of vitamins will run into a financial struggle for me. They get expensive to keep buying. If I find no relief after the first month of implementing B-12, Magnesium, and a few others, I will be at a loss for what to do. I have given up trying to get the energy to work and have filed for disability.
1. eating a South Beach type Diet. Eliminating processed foods and sugar.
