Kevin Price commentary: Athlete's honesty shines brightly
Posted by KEVIN PRICE on May 4, 2014
Too often nowadays, the sports pages of newspapers or websites are filled with the misdeeds of athletes, coaches and owners.
Just look at this past week in the NBA. Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling was outed as a racist, although anyone who had read a single story about Sterling already knew it. Apparently, people in the NBA front office don't get a chance to read much.
You also have Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, Darren Sharpe. I could go on and fill this entire column with the names of sports figures who lie, cheat, steal or worse.

Your job-related questions, answered
How do I apply? For what position or site should I apply?
Our application process is designed to welcome as many exceptional people into our community as possible – apply for the position and location that feel best, and if you're invited to a phone interview, we'll work with you to find the best match. To apply:
- Review the positions on the Summer Jobs page to find the right (or closest) fit
- View our list of camp locations, and apply for the region that includes your preferred location
- In your application, tell us your specific location preferences
I'm interested in more than one position/location. Should I submit multiple applications?
Nope, you only need to apply once. We'll ask you for multiple position and location preferences on your application. We consider candidates for all positions at all sites and will note your preferences as we review applications.
I want to work at camp but can't commit to all summer dates. Should I still apply?
We're looking for applicants who are available for all camp dates. Although our full summer season runs from June 9 – August 15, some sites begin as late as June 23 or end as early as July 25. If your schedule allows you to work the full summer at any site, we encourage you to apply. In addition to hiring full-time, full summer staff, we hire a number of staff to fill shorter commitments as substitute staff members. If you are open to this type of role, we encourage you to apply, provided you are available for at least 20 days between June 9 and August 15.
When is Staff Training?
Staff Training takes place all day on Saturday, May 31, and Sunday, June 1, at Mills College in Oakland.
I have a conflict with the Staff Training dates. Should I still apply?
Both days of Staff Training are mandatory for all camp staff and we do not offer alternative training dates. If you cannot attend both days, we encourage you to apply again in the future, when you're available to attend Staff Training.
Is housing provided for summer camp staff?
As Galileo operates day camps, housing is not provided for campers or staff.
I'm not quite 16 years old. Can I apply to be a Summer Intern?
It is our non-negotiable policy that all staff must be 16 years old by the start of summer (May 31). If you don't quite make the cutoff, we hope you'll apply in future seasons, post-sweet 16.
Are the job openings on your website current and still open?
If you see a position open on our website, it's most likely still available at one of our sites. Because we hire for hundreds of positions on a rolling basis, we aren't able to update our listings each time a staff member is hired. We ask you to be as open as possible to other positions and locations if your first choice isn't available. If you're invited to a phone interview, you'll have an opportunity to discuss position and location availability in more detail.
I am an international candidate interested in applying. Am I eligible to work at Galileo?
We accept applications from all candidates who are eligible to work in the United States. International staff must have a visa that allows the holder to work for any employer (not only the visa-sponsoring employer). Most student visas only allow employment related directly to coursework, and so generally cannot be used for employment with Galileo. International applicants must be able to provide proof of employment eligibility. If you have questions about whether you are eligible to work in the U.S., please contact the agency that issued your visa.
Do staffers get a discount if they sign up their kids for a Galileo camp?
Summer staff members are eligible to receive one free week of camp, and 50% off additional weeks for their kids. This discount does not apply to other family members.

To get a campsite, make sure to purchase a Camping Card Scandinavia (valid in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland) before you go camping, or at the first campsite you visit. It's reasonably priced and is valid for the whole year. There are discounts for single overnight stays, and groups of 5+ campers.
Camping in Sweden
The Camping Card Scandinavia (SEK 125) lets you camp in Sweden easily. The "Camping Card International" is also accepted at many campgrounds in Sweden. In Sweden, it is permitted to camp in free nature (camping on private property and having camp fires is restricted.)
Nudists in Scandinavia can get camping locations from the Swedish Naturist Federation.
Camping in Denmark
A Camping Card Scandinavia is needed to get a campsite. Camping in Denmark generally costs DKK 45-65 per night during the high season and is cheaper in spring and autumn, naturally. Pets are allowed at most Danish campsites but may cost extra at campgrounds in Denmark.
Denmark also has nudist camping, visit the Danish Naturist Union for more information.
Camping in Norway
In Norway, you can camp anywhere outside of towns (except on farmland) for 48 hours max, without open fires in summer. If you're heading for one of the campgrounds in Norway, get the Camping Card Scandinavia mentioned above. Pet-owning campers note: Because of rabies, it's not allowed to bring animals into Norway.
There are three nudist locations in Norway - contact the Norwegian Naturist Federation (NNF) at +47 959 64 689.

NEW YORK -- U.S. stocks rose, giving the Standard & Poor's 500 index its longest winning streak since 2004, as Starbucks and Procter & Gamble reported increased profit and German business confidence beat forecasts.
Starbucks, the world's largest coffee-shop operator, advanced 4.1 percent. Procter & Gamble, the biggest consumer- products maker, climbed 4 percent as it also raised its 2013 earnings forecast. Halliburton jumped 5.1 percent as profit exceeded estimates. Apple surrendered the title of the world's most-valuable company to Exxon Mobil (see related story above).
The S&P 500 added 0.5 percent to 1,502.96. The benchmark gauge closed above 1,500 for the first time since December 2007 and gained for eight straight days, the longest string of advances since November 2004. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 70.65 points, or 0.5 percent, to 13,895.98 Friday. About 6.3 billion shares traded hands on U.S. exchanges Friday, in line with the three-month average.
Stocks rose Friday as German business confidence increased more than forecast in January, adding to signs that Europe's largest economy is recovering. The European Central Bank said banks will next week repay more of its emergency three-year loans than economists forecast, in another sign the euro region's debt crisis is abating. Equities briefly pared gains as data showed purchases of new U.S. homes unexpectedly dropped in
Earnings exceeded projections at about 76 percent of the 147 companies in the S&P 500 that have released results so far in this reporting season, while 67 percent topped sales estimates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Analysts are turning more optimistic, boosting their projections for fourth- quarter profit growth to 4 percent from 2.9 percent at the beginning of the month, the data show.
All 10 groups in the S&P 500 advanced. Consumer discretionary and energy companies rose the most, climbing at least 0.9 percent.
Starbucks added 4.1 percent to $56.81. Net income increased to $432.2 million in the fiscal first quarter from $382.1 million a year earlier, the Seattle-based company said late yesterday. Comparable sales in the Americas rose 7 percent in the period, beating estimates for a 5.9 percent gain.
P&G advanced 4 percent to $73.25 after reporting second- quarter profit that topped analysts' estimates and raising its annual earnings forecast. Net income more than doubled to $4.06 billion in the period ended Dec. 31, the Cincinnati-based company said.
Halliburton jumped 5.1 percent to $39.72.
The world's largest provider of hydraulic-fracturing services reported fourth-quarter profit and sales that exceeded analysts' estimates amid stronger growth in international regions such as the Middle East, Asia and Latin America that offset lower activity in North America.
Microsoft climbed 0.9 percent to $27.88. The world's largest software maker reported lower profit on higher revenue as the company spent more to market its Windows operating system and lure consumers flocking to tablets and smartphones. Microsoft earned 76 cents a share in the second quarter. Analysts had predicted profit of 74 cents.
Tempur-Pedic International rallied 6.4 percent to $40.79. The maker of mattresses reported fourth-quarter adjusted profit of 60 cents a share, exceeding the 55 cent average estimate in a Bloomberg survey of analysts.
Netflix jumped 15 percent to $169.56, adding to Thursday's 42 percent surge.
The world's largest online-video service has advanced since posting an unexpected fourth-quarter profit and a larger-than-anticipated gain in customers. Billionaire Carl Icahn, with a 10 percent stake, said Thursday he sees further gains for the shares.

Sierra Tucson offers a unique Assessment and Diagnostic Program (ADP) to provide intensive, in-depth clinical, neuropsychological, and/or educational assessment. Fully focusing on assessment and diagnosis, this specific program works successfully with patients who require a comprehensive evaluation due to diagnostic uncertainty and complexity.
The ADP Inpatient Program
The ADP is an inpatient program with a typical 4 ½-day length of stay for clinical assessments, and a 6 ½-day length of stay for neuropsychological or educational assessments. During this time the individual undergoes intensive evaluation, counterbalanced with educational lectures, assignments, one-on-one consultations, and some ancillary services. Using the full range of resources available at our treatment center, Sierra Tucson can provide a more comprehensive assessment than would be possible in most other settings.
A Whole Person Assessment
Sierra Tucson's ADP constitutes a whole-person assessment, encompassing all aspects of an individual's life. In conjunction with medical, psychiatric, and mental health psychological evaluations, these assessments may address the areas of nutrition, recreation/fitness, pain, addiction, trauma/grief/loss, biofeedback/stress, cognitive concerns (e.g. memory, attention, language difficulties), and relationship/family issues. Individuals in the ADP receive numerous psychological tests during their stay at Sierra Tucson. Testing is based on each person's assessment needs and may be clinical, neuropsychological, and/or educational.
An Integrated Diagnostic Report
Upon completion of the evaluation process, a multidisciplinary team reviews assessment data and prepares an integrated diagnostic report. The team reviews the findings confidentially in a round table meeting with the patient, referring professional, and, when appropriate, family members. The patient's needs and welfare are the focus of this comprehensive report, which is complete with recommendations for further treatment interventions, as appropriate. Teleconference is available for those who cannot attend the round table meeting in person.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Tupac, Biggie & George Tillman Jr.
"Soul Food" director and Milwaukee native George Tillman Jr. is beginning production on "Notorious," a film based on the death, and life, of the gangsta rapper Notorious B.I.G., aka Biggie Smalls, actually Christopher G. Wallace.
Wallace was 24-years old when he was shot to death in a murder that was never solved. His death is thought to be part of the rivalry between East and West coast rappers. Wallace was from New York; six months earlier the west coast rapper Tupac Shakur had been shot to death.
Their murders were the subject of Nick Broomfield's personalized 2002 documentary "Biggie and Tupac."
(The Los Angeles Times ran a comprehensive investigative report on events leading up to Tupac's murder and the bi-coastal rivalry this week.)
Tillman's last film as a director was "Men of Honor," about a Navy diver played by Cuba Gooding Jr., was in 2000.
But since then Tillman, a Marshall High School graduate who lived near N. 42nd St. and W. Capitol Drive, has produced "Barbershop" and "Beauty Shop."
His 1997 film "Soul Food" was based on his memories of family dinners at his grandmother's house.
"Notorious," which stars Jamal Woolard, a Brooklyn rapper known as Gravy, is due for release in 2009. It will feature Wallace's original recordings, but Woolard will perform where no familiar recordings of a song exist, accordingg to this story about the film in the New York Times.

Film: Kahaani; Director: Sujoy Ghosh; Rating: ****
Sujoy Ghosh's directed Kahaani is a taut thriller. The film boats of a power-packed performance by Vidya Balan. The story is of Vidya (played by Vidya Balan) coming to Kolkata in search of her missing husband. The city plays a character in the film. Vidya is a Tamilian married to a Bengali. Her husband Arnab Bagchi seems non-existent to viewers initially. She meets a helpful cop Satyoki aka Rana (played by Parambrata Chattopadhyay), who helps her in the search. She also has to face a rude Intelligence Bureau officer Khan (played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui). Other characters of the city seem warm.
The film has been made better with use of memorable tunes of R.D. Burman adding up to the impact of the narrative. Kolkata is shown in its full beauty, with its old buildings, warm people, congested traffic and yellow taxis. Shooting the film on real locations add to the beauty of the film.
The film's background music adds up to the narrative. The casting director has done a great job. All actors play their roles with conviction. Actors playing smaller character roles excel in the film. Vidya Balan has made us forget her last super performance in The Dirty Picture. Vidya delivers all kinds of emotions-nervousness, happiness, surprise, and all other cocktails of emotions with conviction.
The real hero of this film is its script. The script is taut and well-written, offering edge-of the-seat moment.
A must watch indeed!

When I saw the plans for this in Popular Woodworking a few years back I knew I had to make one.
I took some old pallets from work cleaned them up and used them for this. I know the unspalted stuff is pine but I don't know what the spalted stuff is.
It was a project just to have a project, so there weren't any plans for it. I eventually ended up giving to my nephew for christmas. My wife told him that he didn't want it to let her know, because she would take it. Maybe next time I'ld better ask her before giving things away (even if it was her idea to give it away).

Thanks for your comments
Bill, she had a chance to have it. When I finished it I asked what I should do with it. She was the one that suggested using it as a present. So I don't feel bad (Okay, Maybe I do just a little. If I can find some more wood like I used for the top I'll build her one.)

Great project. Beautiful wood. And the recycled thing makes it just that much better. Dale, thanks for letting us see it.

Very good idea and execution. Adding some sort of bottom slider and maybe a foam pad for friction to it would permit using it as a laptop desk with a Jakes Chair.

After seeing this this morning I really wanted the function of this at the bench for planning today, or on the couch, or in bed, o at the kitchen table, or…
I drew up plans for one of these last year. Just have to say again: this is a great lap desk!

BillinDetroit, this would most certainly work great with a Jakes Chair. I'd never even given that a thought.
It's great LJ emails you when things get posted. I've been busy with all kinds of projects, and although I've long on, on a regular basis I hadn't realized how long it had been since I had commented on anything. There have been some great projects, and blogs. There's a lot of talent here, keep posting

Cooper picks up win in 4-2 victory over Louisiana
Blue Raiders to play doubleheader on SaturdayMay 11, 2012 · Athletic Communications
Junior Robert Lawrence scored twice in MT's win over Louisiana on Friday night. (Athletic Communications)
· Cumulative Stats
· Box Score
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Jordan Cooper made his first career conference start on Friday night, and the junior left-hander didn't disappoint, tossing 6.2 innings and allowing just two runs to help the Blue Raiders to a 4-2 victory over visiting Louisiana at Reese Smith Jr. Field.
"Cooper has been throwing well recently," head coach Steve Peterson said. "His relief appearances have been good, and he had one where he went more than six innings, so his pitch count wouldn't be a problem. The key with Jordan is throwing strikes. He gave us a great effort and deserved to get the win."
Cooper allowed five hits and struck out four in his first start since April 11, improving to 2-2 on the season.
"I just knew that if I could keep the ball in the zone, we'd get a win tonight," Cooper said. "We've been hitting it well enough to get a win all year, I just had to throw strikes. I don't think I had my best stuff, but I located my fastball pretty well tonight. I think these last few outings are really helping my confidence."
Mittura and McClung came on to throw a scoreless final 2.1 innings with McClung earning his fifth save of the year.
Offensively, the Blue Raiders (27-23, 13-12 Sun Belt) out-hit the Ragin' Cajuns 7-6, led by two-hit days from both Justin Guidry and Ryan Ford.
MT opened up the scoring in the second, with Robert Lawrence striking out but reaching base on passed ball by UL catcher Chris Sinclair. Ryan Stephens followed up with a single to right, and a two-base fielding error by Dylan Butler allowed Lawrence to cross. Jordan Rorex pulled off a successful squeeze play in the ensuing at-bat, bunting down the third base line and scoring Stephens to give MT the 2-0 lead.
The Ragin' Cajuns (21-27, 9-16 SBC) pulled back within one in the fifth. Logan Preston led off with a single, and moved into scoring position on a sacrifice bunt. Brian Bowman knocked in the run in the next at-bat with a single to left.
Guidry got the Blue Raiders going again in the sixth with a one-out single to center. LaRue grounded out to advance Guidry, and Trent Miller pushed a single through the left side in the next at bat to give MT a 3-1 advantage.
UL had its best chance to pull even in the seventh. After Cooper picked up a pair of quick outs, a single and a walk chased the Knoxville native from the mound to make way for Paul Mittura. The sophomore gave up a double down the left field line, but a perfect relay by Rorex and Ford kept the equalizing run from crossing home.
"I was pumped. That's probably one of my favorite plays in baseball," Ford said. "I love getting a chance to throw someone out at the plate. Rorex played it well in left. It can be tricky with those ridges on the wall in the outfield, but he got to it quickly and made a good throw to me."
"That's something we practice every week," Peterson said. "It starts with the outfielder playing the ball off the wall, and he has to make an accurate throw to have a shot at the plate. Rorex did a great job at giving Ryan an angle at the plate with his throw, and Ryan threw a perfect strike to Dain McNabb. It's a great team play."
Lawrence helped MT pick up an insurance run in the bottom half of the frame, leading off with a double down the left field line. The junior later stole third, and an errant throw by Sinclair allowed him to score his second unearned run of the night.
The Blue Raiders and the Ragin' Cajuns will square off again on Saturday with a doubleheader at Reese Smith Jr. Field, set to begin at 2 p.m. Prior to first pitch, MT will celebrate Senior Day.

AU Enactus team
The Anderson University Enactus team was named a 1st Runner-up at the Enactus USA Regional Competition held in Atlanta, GA. The event is one of 16 Enactus USA Regional Competitions being held across the United States in March and April. Anderson University is one of more than 500 Enactus programs in the United States. Participating students use business concepts to develop community outreach projects that improve the quality of life and standard of living for people in need.
Our Enactus Team shined once again in the Enactus Partner Project Competitions.
After being named three-time national champions of the Sam's Club Environmental Sustainability Project, the project's criteria were changed to encompass far more than environmental sustainability factors. This year, the project was renamed Sam's Club Step Up for Small Business Challenge. Despite the change in criteria, Anderson University Enactus's work this year for local floristry; Nature's Corner landed our team a top spot in the final judging. Of the 117 Enactus teams that submitted into the Sam's Club Project, AU Enactus was named one of the eight finalists at an awards reception sponsored by Sam's Club. Our team has a strong relationship with Sam's Club – the entire staff of 15+ representing Sam's Club and Walmart at the Exposition attended our Enactus team's competition presentation today – a very rare occurrence!
In the next special competition, the Walmart Women's Economic Empowerment Project, our Enactus team submitted our partnership and efforts with Anderson Interfaith Ministries' Women and Children Succeeding (WACS) Program. Again, AU Enactus rose to the top, being named one of the top 10 finalists for the Walmart-sponsored competition.
Lastly, this year Enactus again participated in the Campbell's Soup Company's Let's Can Hunger Challenge. Through this project, our team worked to provide immediate hunger relief, and defeat the long-term issue of hunger in Anderson County. This year alone, our Enactus team raised 40,147 pounds of nonperishable food. Out of the 150+ teams that participated in this project, our Enactus team was named 8th in total amount of food collected this year. For this achievement, our Enactus team was invited to the Campbell's "Silver Spoon Reception," where we were able to connect with Executive Leadership of Campbell's Soup Company and Enactus Corporate.
In regards to the Enactus competition, our team was named 2nd runner up in our League, marking the first time in the history of Anderson Enactus that our team has placed in National Competition. While only the top team from each league advances to the semi-final round, this achievement is a great one for our team, and is the result of our continued growth and impact in the Anderson community and abroad. Virtually, of the 800 Enactus Teams across the United States, 156 were chosen to compete here at the National Exposition. By placing in the opening round of competition, we have been named one of the top 60 Enactus teams in the nation.
Lowe's Challenge: With the economic downturn and poverty being on the rise in Anderson, SC our Enactus team's goal this year for the Lowe's challenge was to raise the quality of life and standard of living for the homeless living at the Salvation Army shelter in our county. Our team conducted a screening of several shelters in Anderson and came to the conclusion that the Salvation Army had the highest need and potential for improvement. Our team identified unsafe playground equipment on the current site. Additionally, our team identified an area of land that would be a great location for raised gardens. The gardens give the residents and workers within the homeless shelter a reason to go outside, work with the gardens, and escape their current situation. We found enough unused space within the park to create a basketball court and dining area. As our team finished building the basketball court several residences immediately came outside and played basketball. They expressed much happiness, showing that this immediately increased the residence quality of life. Our final touch was creating a patio and grill area with picnic tables. Our work with the Salvation Army is raising the standard of living of the people by providing attractive and productive recreation and relaxation facilities for the homeless residents and workers at the Anderson, SC Salvation Army Homeless Shelter.
Teams compete first at the regional and national levels, then at the international level when the national champion teams from each country meet at the Enactus World Cup. Enactus is an international non-profit organization that brings together the leaders of today and tomorrow to create a better, more sustainable world through the positive power of business. Founded in 1975, Enactus has active programs on more than 1300 college and university campuses in over 40 countries. Through projects that improve the lives of people worldwide, the university students, academic professionals and industry leaders who participate in Enactus are demonstrating that individuals with a knowledge and passion for business can be a powerful force for change. For more information, contact Enactus World Headquarters at 417-831-9505 or Anderson University, 864-231-5754, or visit www.enactus.org.

My Communities
My Discussions
My Email Digests
I am afraid to mention this to my doctor for fear she will think I am making it up to get meds. But it really has been affecting my life. What should I do? Am I too young? I just turned 41 last week.
Any info you can share will be greatly appreciated.
I would encourage you to find a good doctor who can treat FM....as all doctors do NOT think it is an illness....(this amazes me since there is so much information out there about it)....
I would also suggest that you get your Vitamin D level checked...which is so very important for a lot of people these days...it is a simple blood test...but you MUST ASK the doctor to run it...low Vitamin D can cause some people to have additional pain (I am one of those) and it can also affect other illnesses as well....I hope you will read up on this...as there a lot of info on the computer for you to read about it...
I would also encourage you to be sure and check out the info under "tips" and "resources" to the right of this page...as you will find some "good tools and tips" that perhaps you have not thought of trying....be sure and read the "member toolbox" and "nutrition and vitamins"....
FM is a very mean and ugly illness to deal with...but a person can learn how to "control and manage it"...but it does take a trial and error process...as we are all different....what helps one may or may not help another....only you will know when you have found the right combination of things that will help you cope...
I am one of the FMers here who has learned how to "control my FM pain" by taking vitamins and supplements and doing other things as well....I take magnesium and malate combination supplement....(vitamin store) Omegas, Vitamin D, Super B Complex and calcium....plus others...as I do have other health issues...I also drink mostly water....
I use a heating pad when needed...I take a hot shower at night using lavender bath salts to help relax my body...I also use stopain spray (walmart) when needed....do gentle stretches and exercises each day...and try to move....even when I do not feel up to it...
We FMers also must learn how to pace, pace and pace some more...this is so very important....as we deal more with how the wrath of the dragon pops its ugly head at us...we have to learn to "beat it" at its own game....we can no longer push ourselves to the limit...or we will surely pay dearly for doing so.....Stress is the dragon's best friend....so we have to figure out some way to limit our stress...and for me...this is probably the hardest thing that I have found to do....
I hope this helps you....and I hope that you will post often, ask questions, make comments and/or suggestions...
This FM group is so very blesses to have not 1 but 2 doctors...Dr. P and Dr. Margaret (see the top right hand corner for more info)...they will answer questions also...just be sure and put their names in the subject line of your post...they will get back to you with the reply....
Take care and good luck...
I just turned 32 this week and was dignosed last month with FM. I also wondered if i was young to have this, but the simple asnwer is there is no such thing as to young to have FM.
I would talk to your doctor, especialy since your mom had it too, and its highly believed that FM is hereditary.
Take Care,
Its so sad to see anyone suffer with this but especially young people/I just wish I could take it for her.
Really sorry you are going through this. But please please please do not be afraid to ask your doctor anything. You are seeing her to help you, and she cannot help you if you do not tell her what's wrong. I know it is scary to ask doctors questions especially if they are embarrassing ones, but this isn't even embarrassing. This is important.
I hope it all goes well for you, and I hope you are having a good day.
Much love <3
I have had chronic pain problems since I was a child and sleep problems just as long. I am now 29. Age has nothing to do with FM. Also, weight has nothing to do with FM itself. There are thin people who have it. Also, some in this community have lost weight and still had the same amount of pain.
That being said I do believe that at a certain point extra weight can put a strain on our joints and that might magnify the FM pain somewhat.
And exercise, done correctly, can help FM (at least in some ways--different topic). So when a doctor says you need to lose weight, you can acknowledge that the ways you lose weight, through healthy diet and exercise, are the things that can help the symptoms.
I hope you can find a doctor that listens to you!
Talk to your doctor Jenean and see what happens. I went to my rheumatologist and one of the first things i told her was i want to avoid meds if i can. I'm a divorced mom of 3 young kids i have to be on top of my game See if your doctor listens to your concerns and starts testing or refering you on. You should have a dr. you can talk to and tell hey i have these issues can you help. Also self advocate, if you feel they aren't listening and you feel you are still having issue. Ask for another doctor, even in the same practice if you have to. Make sure you feel your concerns are truely addressed.
take care
I am always so sad to hear of another person exeriencing what I am. Unfortunately, you are definately not too young. I am 38 and was diagnosed over 7 years ago. I had symptoms for close to 2 years before a diagnosis. I also have heard of teens who have had it. I don't know what the youngest person to get it is.
I am overweight too. It's not easy to lose weight and more difficult when some of the meds you are on make you gain weight.
As far as what you should you should do, everyone will have a different answer for you, but you are gonna have to make the decision. I'm gonna give you what I think are two important questions to answer in making that decision: 1) Is it getting better or worse without help? 2) If you don't talk to your doctor about it and try to get a disagnosis, how will it ever get better?
There are lots of tools out there to help you approach your doctor. I believe the National Fibromyalgia website has a questionaire you can print out and fill out to take to your doctor to get the conversation going in the right direction and help your doctor see that you are serious and that you have done your research. I have heard that one type of fm is hereditary and you will need to mention your moms history to your doc.
If it goes bad, you can come on here and vent about it and we'll help you figure out your next step. You are not alone. Please remember that.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Definitely talk to your doctor. Tell her that your mother had it, and you've been in pain so you're worried. Pain is never normal, If your doctor won't take you seriously, find a new doctor. That's really all there is to it. Heck, ask to be referred to a rheumatologist if you need to.
Gentle hugs! Good luck talking to your doctor and finding out if it's FM or not.

You > might like to read the tutorial starting at > http://userbase.kde.org/KWin_Rules As Anne says, kwin rules can be used to force a specific position, and I use exactly that functionality quite a lot (REALLY quite a lot!) myself, but they apply any time a window matches the rule. There's at least two further solutions that allow sometimes-matching, one via hotkey, but it'll involve a bit of bash scripting or similar, and one that effectively lets you decide at launch time. 1) The launch-time one works with kde apps and should work with non-kde qt apps, but won't necessarily work with all X-based apps and windows. It depends on kde's --caption option or qt's --title option (also see qt's --name option and kde's --geometry option), as seen in for example konsole's --help-all output when run /in/ konsole. The idea is to set a unique window title that can be matched by a kwin window rule that ignores the application when run normally, that is, without the title setting option. I use this here to set special rules for a konsole window when it's invoked to run my multi-key hotkey bash scripts.[1] Just under that rule in kwin's window rules list, is another one for konsole in general, so the first rule catches the specific case, while the general case falls thru to the second rule. As I mentioned above, for kde apps specifically, there's also the --geometry option, that sets the X geometry. However, depending on your kwin config (smart window placement, etc), you may still need a kwin window rule to ignore smart-placement or whatever the general policy is and obey the specified geometry, and the non-kde app likely doesn't have such an option anyway, so the above idea, setting the title specifically and using that as a kwin window rules match, then simply setting window size and placement in that window rule, probably makes more sense. 2) The scriptable solution makes use of a very handy little app called wmctrl. You can call wmctrl with appropriate options to move and/or resize to specific coordinates, close or move to other desktops various already open windows, in a real-time manner. After installation, read its manpage for instructions on how to invoke it to do what you want done. From there, a hotkey invoked relocate/resize is a simple few lines of bash script and a hotkey set in kde settings, common..., shortcuts..., custom shortcuts, away. =:^) Of course you could also use wmctrl as a launch-time solution, by simply using a wrapper script that launches the app, sleeps a few seconds if necessary to let the window show up, then runs wmctrl on it to locate and size it as desired. Meanwhile, this is of course exactly the sort of thing that kde activities are eventually supposed to manage, but as the two solutions above demonstrate, power users have been doing this sort of thing for quite some time already, so all activities will do is put a bit nicer GUI on what they've already been doing and expose the same functionality to ordinary users, or at least those not quite so high up the power user scale as those using existing solutions. But while I've not actually tested activities in 4.8, I doubt they're there yet, and even when they get there, it'll likely be a tradeoff between limited functionality exposed to a wider userbase, and the more powerful functionality that has been available to the power user, for some time to come. --- [1] When kde4 broke multi-key hotkeys that worked just fine in kde3, I rolled my own solution. I'm not a C/C++ or even python/perl coder, only a bash scriptor, so I coded the script in bash and run it in a special konsole window with its own kwin window rules. It's not fancy, but it does a rather impressive job, considering it's all bash and kwin rules, picking up where all kde4 left me was broken pieces of a solution that USED to work! A kde single-key hotkey still launches my script tho there's independent hotkey solutions out there too, if kde decides to break that as well. My script in turn takes a category and then an action selection key, to launch anything I use often enough to have programmed a sequence for in a total of three individual key presses. For example, to open my browser of choice to bank's secure login site is launcher, n, b. Launcher is an "extra" key available on my inet/media keyboard, n=net (category), b=bank (individual task in the selected category). -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

301 Redirect Single Page and Append Querystring
I have a classic asp (VBScript) site that I've changed the name of a page on (company_details.asp to modest_clothing_company_details.asp). There is a query string that is appended to this page that displays a companies information (company_details.asp?ID_company=100). I've been trying to create a 301 redirect for any requests that come to company_details.asp to modest_clothing_company_details.asp and then append the querystring to the end of it, but have not been successful. Can anyone help me with this?

ASP pages? Okay, this used to be an Apache board and your question looks like a mod_rewrite question. Have a look at the tutorial linked in my signature then create code (depending upon your version of IIS) to:
1. Match the ID_company=100 query string with a RewriteCond
2. Match the company_details.asp {REQUEST_URI} as the regex of a RewriteRule
3. Redirect to modest_clothing_company_details.asp and add the new query string (leave it alone if it's still IC_company=100)

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

"If you have members of your team with compassion fatigue, it will ultimately affect the efficiency, effectiveness and even
the profitability of the practice," says Katherine Dobbs, RVT, CVPM, PHR, owner of interFace Veterinary HR Systems in Appleton,
Wis. That's why it's so important for practice owners or managers to step in and take appropriate measures to handle stressful
Dobbs recommends taking a look at the following: Are you providing continuing education for your staff to stimulate new knowledge?
Are you giving them adequate reprieve from the daily grind in the form of breaks and time away from work? Are you providing
benefits, such as health insurance, so staff can seek out professional care?
Dobbs also recommends appointing someone on the team who directly oversees the workload each person is carrying and makes
sure each person has the tools she needs to do her job well.

Toenail fungus is rare in children, but the incidence increases as you age, with an estimated 48% of people in the United States having at least one toe affected by the time they are 70.
Wearing tight-fitting shoes and layers of nail polish increases the risk of developing toenail fungus. It can also be spread person-to-person in public areas, such as locker rooms and showers. Having a chronic condition that affects your circulation, such as diabetes or HIV, also increases your risk.
Symptoms of Toenail FungusThe affected nail will become discolored (yellow or brown) and will become very thick and overgrown. You may notice foul-smelling debris under the nail, whichl may crumble and eventually completely fall off, or it may become so thick that it is very painful to wear shoes.
Diagnosis of Toenail FungusIf a fungal infection becomes uncomfortable enough to seek medical treatment, your doctor will examine the toenail and may take small samples. The nail can be examined for fungi or some other infection under a microscope in the lab.
Treatment of Toenail FungusToenail fungus often becomes a chronic condition, and if it is not painful, many people do not get treatment. But people with chronic illnesses like diabetes should see a doctor if they notice changes in their nails, as it may be an indication of more serious problems. If the nail becomes very thick and makes wearing shoes and walking painful, you should see a doctor.
The nail can be trimmed and filed down carefully, either at home or by a foot specialist (podiatrist). If the infection is mild and very localized, your doctor may prescribe a medicated nail polish containing either Loceryl (amorolfine) or Loprox (ciclopirox).
If the infection persists or continues to spread, your doctor may prescribe an oral, systemic anti-fungal medication such as Sporanox (itraconazole) or Lamisil (terbinafine). The length of treatment will be about 12 weeks. Both of these drugs have some very serious side effects and may not be appropriate for some people.
For extremely persistent infections, permanent surgical removal of the nail may be necessary.
Prevention of Toenail FungusYou can help to prevent toenail fungus by:
- Wearing comfortable, well-fitting shoes and clean hosiery every day, and allowing your shoes to dry thoroughly between wearings
- Wearing shower shoes, sandals or flip-flops in community showers or locker rooms
- Washing your feet daily, drying them thoroughly, and using a good-quality foot powder
- Keeping your toenails trimmed
- Avoid applying layers of nail polish

Is Ripstop Repairs still in business? I recently stopped-by during biz hours to find the door locked. RR website says hours are 10-6 M-F. Piece of paper hanging on door said they open at noon. Phone line is disconnected and has been for days.
Jim was on a trip, fishing I think. They are back open now. I picked up my Cilogear pack with new side/bottom panels, tightened up seams & strap attachments. It looks good for another couple of years!
I have no experience with Boulder Mountain Repair, but I had a terrible experience with Ripstop Repairs. Some time ago, I needed a pack fixed so I went to the Ripstop Repairs website where it told me to print out a form as well as gave me an estimated cost for the repair. This looked good to me and I sent my pack in to get it fixed. I waited about three weeks and didn't hear anything back from them, so I first sent them an email and didn't receive a reply back, so I got a little concerned, so I tried to call them, but got a message that "the mailbox was full." Another week went by, so I dropped by their shop to pick up my pack. When I got there some jerk told me that he didn't know anything about my pack, and that they only do work for "authorized outdoor companies." I told the old grump there that he should change his website if this is true, and walked out and promised never to do business with them again. Stay clear of Ripstop Repairs. I have sent many items to Rainy Pass Repairs in Seattle and they do a great job, and they are great to work with. I gave Ripstop a try since they are local, but will never go back.
We just started a mail-in repair service after doing some local repairs. We design and build packs, but have realized that there is a high demand for pack and gear repairs. We are a small & friendly two person operation. Check out our gear repair page on our website and don't hesitate to contact us with any questions! We'll get back to you asap! www.valentichbags.com/gear-repair
I just had a zipper slider replaced at Boulder Mountain Repair. The owner (Don?) was a little brusque, but rude would be an overstatement. He had it done in 3 minutes and charged $10. Very happy with the transaction.
Had some work done at Ripstop Repairs a few months ago. I felt the guy who appeared to be in charge and handled the check-in was abrupt and borderline rude. When I dropped in to pick up my pack after the week they'd quoted me, I was told it wasn't done and would be "at least another week, maybe a little longer." I asked how I could confirm it was ready for pickup, and I was told I'd just have to drop by as they "don't have time for calls". The resulting work was good enough, but not great.
Hey Jim-- what beer would you like? I'm bringing a bag in this month.
Stopped in to Ripstop Repairs with a puffy that had ice tool holes covered by duct tape in the sleeves and front. They sent me packing because the jacket was dirty and the tape adhesive needed to be cleaned off before they would consider repairing it. Not friendly. Instead of going home with the jacket I took it over to Boulder Mountain Repair and they fixed it up without any push back. Pretty friendly guy. No problem with the duct tape or grimy jacket. They even cleaned it. Pretty cool. Call me crazy but I am more likely to go back to Boulder Mountain Repair because the work is good and the environment is friendly.

Victor's Diner - Watertown ?
Anyone have an impression of Victor's? Driven by a few times and always forget about it as a possibility. Out of sight....
There seems to be a line on weekends and a big crowd. Not that that is a sign of quality - often just means the right mix of price/quantity/quality.
After two years here, we're still on the hunt for a great breakfast with a neighborhood vibe. Not brunch (I love brunch, don't get me wrong) - but we're looking for a pure pre-10am scene - good food, good coffee.
For those of you who know SF - where's the Miss Millie's, Ella's, Chloe's or hell, Boogaloo, equivalent. Or the Philly-style Sabrina's (how I dream of the challah french toast) or Blue in Green.
Closest we've found is Centre St. Cafe in JP. Sorrella's was okay, and a step above Sound Bites which was not worth the wait, imho. For a straightup breakfast diner, half-empty Zoe's on Mass Ave, near Harvard Sq, below Dolphin Seafood, is actually pretty good. Pleasantly surprised. We choose that over Talk of the Town, Rosebud, Sound Bites, etc.
But any thoughts on Victor's or any new spots?
Victor's Diner in Watertown is my favorite place for breakfast. I usually get 3 eggs scrambled with sausage, homefries, toast and coffee. It's always good that's why you see a line out the door on weekends. Their coffee is also very good. Victor's gives you plenty of food for a good price. If you order one of their omelette's they use at least 6 eggs in them. They are huge and come with homefries and toast. I can't say enough about Victor's Diner on North Beacon Street in Watertown. Get there early. They only serve breakfast and lunch and close I think at 2pm or 3pm.
Ate there once with my wife. I agree with the other posters that the food is very filing, the portions are very large and the staff is nice. But we didn't think the food was that good. It was certainly edible, but the pancakes, scrambled eggs and omelettes were just nothing special. We don't plan on heading back anytime soon for breakfast. Perhaps we'll try their lunch.
I seem to recall the New Yorker diner just outside of H20 Square on Mt. Auburn making their french toast with challah but I could be wrong.
re: Dax
Admittedly I've never had the french toast there, but I'd assume that they actually use the scali bread that they use for their regular toast. Which - we were there last Saturday for the first time in ages, for a late-night breakfast, and the scali toast was so good we ordered and extra side order to go with our omelets.

2013 Acura ILX Lease Questions
jessicae23 Posts: 1Hey guys,
About ready to do a deal, but is it good?
Tech Package for @369.80 for 36mos, 16k miles a year. Payoff is 18,068?.20?
I'm also trading in my honda 2011 accord coupe with close to 35000 miles on it, they offered a payoff of 14500, which is what I owe...
I asked for 16 because I drive far but only three days a week, plus adding in weekend travel...
I wanted to make a decision tonight please let me know!
EDIT: Forgot to say 0 down.

vegasviva Posts: 2Here are the current lease #'s on a 2013 Acura ILX w/Premium Package.
*12,000 miles per year
*36 month lease (35 remaining payments)
*$0 cash out of pocket to start
$28,700.00 selling price including the $1043.97 required start ups-1st payment, Doc fee, NV title fee
$30,095.00 is MSRP
$28,402.00 is dealer invoice
35 remaining payments @ 367.66 including tax
Residual is 58% for 12k a year.
I asked to lower the payment but they said my upfront costs of $1043.97 were there reason the monthly was higher. What is a good price point to shoot for?
Hi Car_Man
I'm looking for some assistance on the deal presented to me by one of my local FL dealers.
Acura 2013 ILX Premium Lease
MSRP = $30,600 (with pro pack-not sure what that means?)
Residual Value= 58% ($17.455.10)
Miles/year = 12k
Lease Term = 36 months
Money Factor: .00024
Total = $300.14 a month w/ tax ($280.50 plus $19.64 tax)
$1,626.18 out of pocket ($300.14 first payment, $799 doc or dealer fee, $453.50 tag fees, $73.54 upfront taxes.)
It seems a little high to me, his MSRP is $505 higher than what I found, and the dealer/doc fee is high, and tag and tax fees?
I would appreciate any assistance before I proceed. Thank you very much!
Hi jayinsrq. the money factor that you were quoted is spot on. That's a good thing.
Having said that, you never mentioned a selling price for this car. the selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Without this number, it is more difficult to tell how large a dealer discount you are being given...and in turn if there's any room left to negotiate.
If I was in the market for an ILX right now, I personally would shoot for a selling price of a couple hundred dollars over dealer invoice minus the $1,000 dealer cash that is currently available on the ILX Premium model. You can look up the invoice price for this car in the following section of Edmunds.com: New Vehicle Pricing.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
No problem, jayinsrq. It happens all the time. The dealer invoice price of this car is $28,402. If we subtract the available $1,000 dealer cash from that it drops to $27,402. The selling price that you were quoted is significantly under that...$26,573. That's a very good deal.

$2,000 total due at signing (all-inclusive)
$244/month all-inclusive
36 months
10k miles per year
Residual value - $18,057
10784 / 11684
How do u guys think of this deal? I am going to to Acura dealer tmr here in CA...
litigator Posts: 6Car Man, I'm trying to determine whether the following is a good deal from a FL dealer for a lease on an ILX with Tech Package: 36 months / 10,000 miles per year.
Sales Price: $30,167.73
Gov't Fees: $467.50
Proc/Doc Fees: $664.50
Acquisition Fee: $595.00
Gross Cap Cost: $31,360.73
Money Factor is 0.00024
Residual is 59%
$0 Down Monthly Payment is: $379
$1000 Down Monthly Payment is: $349
$2000 Down Monthly Payment is: $319
The gov't and proc/doc fees seem high compared to other fees I've seen posted in the forum. Are these required fees that must be paid by the dealership, or are they negotiable?
Thanks in advance.
driver_330 Posts: 3I have been reading this forum for many years, first time posting, we leased Acura ILX 2013 with tech package in the beginning of the month. I got this deal
First payment $300
35 more payments of $299.97
10000 miles per year
Above payment includes all taxes title and Lic. We are in TX (Dallas Area).
I did all the deal on the email and phone and went to the dealership to pick the car, made my first payment on the phone with a credit card.

Grameen Bank, the award winning initiative by Dr. Md. Yunus has pulled another stunt by offering loan to the beggars to purchase mobile phones (without collateral) so that they can offer mobile phone service in the streets. This looks good in theory but I have apprehensions whether it will reach the objective of changing beggar's lives. Their previous effort "The phone ladies" - giving mobile loan to poor women in the village was misused by some quarters or middlemen.

Large Rosters, 12 team H2H.
Stats: G, A, +/-. PIM, PP, SOG. W, L, GAA, SV%, SHO.
Mike Smith
Nick Foligno
Niklas Backstrom (G)
Chris Kunitz
First off, I'm probably keeping my roster as is, but I've been entertaining offers on Smith and recently got this. I have king Henrik as my primary goaltender with Smith and Khabibulin. With 6 skater stats, and 5 goalie stats, the tandem I currently have puts me in a pretty good position for H2H play. Despite that, I could use some scoring depth, and I don't think I'll be taking that much of a hit in goalie stats wise.
Thoughts? Thanks.
I believe the Wild see Harding as their #1 once Backstrom becomes a F/A at season's end. I don't think they'll re-sign him due to age and injury history. I've owned Backstrom in the past and I'd never draft him again b/c of injuries. For a keeper league I'd view the deal as Smith & Foligno for Kunitz. which doesn't work if I have Smith. Good luck !

Cottages, 1883
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)
During his stay in Hoogeveen, in the province of Drenthe, Van Gogh went on long trips through the surrounding moors. There he painted this atmospheric study of farm cottages and outbuilding. The modest dwelling rises dark from the bare plain, set against the lighter evening sky. This effect would often recur in his later work.
Van Gogh stayed in Drenthe for three months, greatly impressed by the empty landscape. He was also fascinated by the impoverished inhabitants, although his attempts to find models to pose for him were largely unsuccessful.
