Some baseball fans have been fortunate to get their hands on an official World Series ring. Other fans even own signed, game-worn jerseys that are proudly displayed in mancaves across the country. One lucky fan will top them all. Heritage Auctions is auctioning off one of the most famous articles of clothing in Red Sox history: Curt Schilling's bloody sock. While this particular sock wasn't the one worn during his ALCS performance against the Yankees — that one was "unceremoniously discarded in a Yankee Stadium dumpster after Schilling's seven innings of one-run brilliance" – this white tube sock was worn in Game 2 of the World Series against the Cardinals. "In truth, there were two bloody socks, but only one survives today," the description reads. "Here we present the World Series Game 2 model, consigned to this auction by Mr. Schilling himself after the sock's retrieval from a Baseball Hall of Fame display.

I love this show, and look forward to every morsel of information I get of it. I loved "Still" this year, it was by far the best episode. The worst I agree was "Swan Song" it bored me, and that hardly ever happens with Castle.
Finally getting them together is the best thing that happened this season. I think it is about time that there was a show where someone didn't cheat, get divorced or have a baby in a relationship to keep a storyline going. It is refreshing to see two people, even our screwed up DD's fighting it out. We need some shows that are original in their thinking. I hope that Marlowe never stoops to breaking them up.
I would love a little less subtext and more of them actually talking. After all these years they should be able to actually say what they are feeling to a certain extent.
I do not mind having the rest of the cast get more time as long as it involved Castle and Beckett. They are who the show is about. I would love back stories on Lanie and more about Martha and her past, maybe a little Gates, but not entire episodes.
I watch Castle for the characters. I do not watch it for the procedural, though I would never want it to be gone. It needs a good balance and I think they have got that. I would never say "no" to more Castle and Beckett as long as it fit properly.
In the romance department everyone should have a little more. Not every episode, but hell we could use moments that aren't cut off or at the end of the episode. Oh and while we are at it, I would love more scenes where the romance isn't dark.
Seems like lots for me to say for a show I love...I hope it has many more year ahead. It has a great cast who seems to get along well, great writes and US!!!
Yes! The interrupted conversations have gotten ridiculous. They happen far too often and just when they say something I really want to hear. Can the writers please retire this lame gimmick and finally let them have a complete conversation about something important? It's been 5 seasons. How long do we have to wait?
I agree. I love this show and the relationship has shown so much progress. But the lack of communication, miscommunication and constant interruptions are tiring. Kate was portrayed as very loving all season until the end season arc. Hopefully some serious damage control will be done in the premier. Also, I miss Martha. She wasn't used as much this season and I would love to see home life with Kate included. It seemed odd to not have one scene where Alexis and Kate had a real conversation. Additionally, I would like some back story on Lanie. She is mostly used to medical jargon, but there is potential to expand her role as Kate's friend. What I hope for next season? Honestly and open conversations with Rick and Kate. There are so many other issues that will arise that I would like this one laid to rest. Oh, and Kate dealing with page 6!

o-BEEF_SUPREME-o Insuperable Cossner GuamoKun Let's run it wharfers! I say we get together and run a session like the good old days. Best two out of three, winner stays, next person in line plays. AestheticLove LOL you won't be there.
You're going to Dallas? I totally would've tagged you if I knew haha. We should start a donation drive for either Deathmaze or Ermac2417 to make it completely godlike.
You right, hahaha. My bad, either way, hell we should do a session tonight anyway! haha, It's been to long since we have played together.
If that's what joker meant, then by all means yes. bro you know we're getting down in dallas. I propose a KOTH style drinking game. Same rules as before, but the winner of the set must take a shot/down a beer.
Do it just roam the halls of the omni till you hear "Daaaaaaaaammmmn" or "EXPOSED!" coming from a room
I wouldn't mind trying to drive out, but even if I did, I wouldn't know where to meet up with anyone.
I'm going to fly to a foreign country alone, and I have no idea where/who to meet up either. Planning!
Are you going to Dallas? I'm talking about an offline session at Dallas. However I will be on and creating the room tonight. Won't you join me?!

BBL iBike data and videos
Fun day today at the BBL. I mainly wanted to put a post up with my iBike data for those of you curious about the iBike.

Tornado anniversary and return of the iBike
A lot going on in the cockpit … camera, iBike, and Garmin.
This is my last week off before the start of the spring semester at Samford, so I wanted to get in at least one more long ride. I'm riding my Scott Addict right now because the Trek is down for the count with a crack in the frame. Because I switched bikes to my Scott, I could re-mount the iBike again (the Bontrager stem on my Trek is far too thick for the iBike mount to fit). The only problem is that when I went to mount the iBike, I discovered I was missing a screw for the mounting bracket … a quick trip to the local hardware store with the iBike and a screwdriver in my back pocket and I was able to find the right screw.
In my opinion, the absolute best thing about the iBike is its ability to measure gradients quite accurately — much more so than the barometric pressure calculated gradient from the Garmin. The iBike has an internal gyrometer/accelerometer which can calculate gradient based on immediate changes in pitch, unlike the Garmin which requires motion and change in air pressure to calculate gradient based on the change of elevation over time. The ability of the iBike to measure power is a secondary benefit … and not too bad either compared to all the other power meters I've owned. You do have to get it calibrated correctly, but that is a one-time setup step which is supposedly eliminated on the new iBike Newton.
Excited about the iBike, I wanted to measure the gradients on the Emerald Lakes climbs which I discovered over Christmas and rode again a couple weeks ago on the way out to Skyball. I've posted videos below where I am calling out a small selection of the iBike gradient readings (it updates itself about every second, but I'm only calling out readings every few seconds). The front side climb Cat 4 climb (from the Lake) has the steepest pitch topping out at 30.4%, but the 20+% section is much shorter than the 20+% section on the backside Cat 3 climb. The descent back down the 30% section is dangerous. I was trying to be conservative and still hit 53mph (last video). I'm glad I was trying to be conservative because any faster, and I might very well have ended up IN Emerald Lake.
Red tailed hawk flying above its nest in tornado damaged neighborhood.
When I was planning out the return route, I noticed that the climb up to the top of the Summit Pointe neighborhood off of Tyler Loop road would probably be an auto-detected Strava cat 4 climb. The picture of the hawk above is just below the summit of the climb. I was trying to maximize climbing on the ride so I created a route through that neighborhood up the climb not realizing that I would be doing the ride on the 1 year anniversary of the Chalkville EF-3 tornado (just under EF-4) which went through a corner of the neighborhood. I came to the realization that it was the 1 year anniversary late in the video below as I was narrating the damage still visible a year later. Click the "youtube" button to watch this on youtube, and you can jump to specific parts of the video using the video bookmarks in the description area below the video.
Finally, here is a photoshop – annotated view of the iBike data from the ride. I was concerned with the cold weather that the iBike battery might not make it the entire ride so I cut it off after the Vesclub climb and didn't turn it back on again until I got up to Trussville.

iBike statistics - Emerald lakes ride (partial) Dist: 77.57 mi (5:12:38) Energy: 3691.5 kJ Cals Burn: 3529.1 kcal Climbing: 8806 ft Braking: -609.4 kJ (-16.5%) Min Avg Max Power 0 196.8 692 W Aero 0 120.6 2982 W Rolling 0 19.2 68 W Gravity -4009 4.0 548 W Speed 0.0 14.9 53.1 mi/h Wind 0.0 15.3 55.9 mi/h Elev -14 454 865 ft Slope -24.0 0.08 30.4 % Caden 0 72.8 126 rpm HR 79 131.3 165 bpm NP:226W IF:0.81 TSS:345 VI:1.15 CdA: 0.342 m^2; Crr: 0.0039 168 lbs; 8/14/2011 2:25 PM 52 degF; 1013 mbar
A few notes about the data … the climbing total is quite a bit lower because it's missing 23 miles of the ride and the iBike is applying smoothing (either in the software or via how the barometric elevation sensor is recording) and doesn't pick up all the rollers in its climbing total that the Garmin does. Also, the distance is short because I turned off the iBike to save battery after the Vesclub climb and didn't turn it back on again until Trussville. Also, the "168 lbs" in the statistics at the bottom is my weight plus the weight of the bike plus weight of clothing, etc…
Wisconsin wrap-up
Long ice beard in Weyerhauser with Blue Hills I had just ridden through in the background. The beard is frozen breath, whereas the mustache is frozen snot (I had nasal congestion issues all week).
Kristine caught up to me near the very end of the ride and got this pic as we were pulling into Weyerhauser.
We've been back in Alabama for a couple weeks now, but I still have photos and videos from one last ride in Wisconsin. Perfect timing for me to finish up this post as we are under a winter storm warning today for a couple inches of snow and ice here in Birmingham. Back up in Wisconsin on January 2nd, my first ride of 2013, I left Kristine's parents' house in Shell Lake and rode about 65 mile southeast down to Weyerhauser, Wisconsin through the Blue Hills outside of Rice Lake. This was the coldest ride of the trip with an average temperature of 10 degF. I started pretty early in the day, and it snowed the whole time with most of the ride into a stiff headwind. The snow was just beautiful as it was falling, and especially up on top of Meteor Hill – the high point in the Blue Hills. See this video I took of the snow shortly before descending off of Meteor Hill.
Even though the temp had warmed up a bit by the top of Meteor Hill — maybe 12 degrees or so – this was still the coldest part of the trip because I stopped for a while at the top and took too long of a video (the one above) with my gloves off. Then once I started again, I was on really deep, rutted snow on a long gradual downhill. This meant that I spent a lot of time braking instead of pedaling and generating body heat. Plus, the area was really rural so it would not have been good to have any kind of accident so I was especially slow and careful, which meant my heartrate stayed around 100bpm for 9 miles on the long gradual descent. This meant I was VERY, VERY cold by the bottom. Fortunately, this dumped me out onto a good hilly Co Rd F right through the heart of the Blue Hills where I could warm back up again by going hard. All-in-all I think this was the best ride of the trip.
Here are some of the bikecam videos I got — ordered with my favorite ones first.
Skyball out and back epic
This adventure started out on Christmas day when we began our annual trek north to Wisconsin to visit Kristine's family and enjoy the winter wonderland of the northwoods of Wisconsin. For the past two years, I have left our house in the morning and biked north towards Wisconsin. About six hours later, Kristine has picked me up somewhere north of Cullman, and then we have finished the rest of the 18 hour drive overnight to arrive in Shell Lake by the next morning.
This year, there was a major storm system moving in from the Gulf of Mexico promising lots of rain for Alabama and a huge blizzard for Indiana. We were racing this storm. Everything looked perfect for us to stick to our plan since the system wasn't supposed to be arriving until later in the evening — at which point we would have already made it to Chicago. My ride started out great with over 3 hours of overcast skies and upper 30s lower 40s temp. Then shortly after discovering the Emerald Lakes climbs and making it to the bottom of Skyball Mountain, it started to pour down rain and thunderstorm. My Garmin cut off unexpectedly as my power meter died and the Garmin struggled to find a signal. I lost all of the data except for the first 15 miles of the ride. Sounds crazy, but I'm pretty sure that the source of the problem is when the power meter starts to give off goofy power meter readings, which confuses the Garmin and then causes it to crash. This has happened several times — all related to goofy (or missing) power meter readings. I'm pretty sure about that since I rode a long time in the rain yesterday but turned off the power meter on the Garmin, and the Garmin had no problems recording the entire 8 hour ride – so it's not a problem with the Garmin and the rain. It's a problem with bogus (or missing) power meter signal while the Garmin still is looking for a power meter.
Anyway, back to the ride at Christmas, I ended up riding the rest of the way to Cullman (about 2 hours) including the climb up Skyball Mountain in the pouring down rain and temp in the upper 30s. I was freezing, but I rode really, really hard to stay warm. Then in the process of coordinating the pick-up with Kristine at First Baptist Church Cullman (heavily damaged by April 27th tornado) well short (30 miles) of our original pick-up spot, I stopped and waited for Kristine. It only took her a few minutes because she had earlier started to back track on the route. Those few minutes were enough to make me so cold that I couldn't stop shivering until I had dried off, changed clothes, heater blasting in the car, and driving up to the original gas station in Falkville where we were supposed to meet.
During this amazing awesome time of warming up, I tethered Kristine's laptop to her phone and uploaded the ride to Strava discovering that all but the first 15 miles were lost. Initially, I was pretty upset — but then a few minutes later I resolved to do the ride again as an out/back ride from my house. The thought of that adventure was exciting enough to quash the sick feeling in my stomach of losing about 60 miles of data from an epic ride with new climbs and probably a few KOMs.
Yesterday was the culmination, two and a half weeks after the original ride, of that excitement/anticipation. The weather forecast called for fog in the morning and slight chance of rain in the afternoon. Instead, it stayed heavy wet fog all day (misty light rain) and then rained hard by the end of the ride after sunset. Fortunately, I turned off my power meter on my Garmin so that the same problem wouldn't happen again with the Garmin unexpectedly powering off and losing ride data. But that means I only have power meter data for the first hour or so of the ride, and the latter part of that data is bogus as the power meter starting giving off much too high power readings for the effort I was putting out. That is when I decided to turn the power meter off. Unfortunately, I had to keep a ziplock bag over the Garmin for most of the ride, which kills the total elevation gain as the Garmin is slower in responding to elevation change — which doesn't make too much of a difference when you are crawling up a climb, but it does affect how it reads the descents … meaning that smaller hills get flattened because the Garmin never records the negative change before you've already started up (or completely finished) the next hill.
There were two key things that I was anticipating on this ride: 1) the adventure of an out/back ride from Birmingham up and over Skyball 2) The emerald lakes climbs which I feel could be the steepest paved climbs in Alabama. The top video on this post is from that "steepest climb" on the return portion of the trip after climbing Skyball, changing a flat tire, and lots of other adventures about 95 miles into my ride. The next video below is the climb up the same ridge line near Emerald Lakes, but from the opposite side on the way out to Skyball. It also has some extended 20-25+% sections, but is more of a stair-stepper than the backside climb. Both videos are long, but if you click the "watch on youtube" button then you can click on the video bookmarks in the description to jump directly to interesting spots.
The driest part of the ride was climbing up Skyball on the way out as the clouds had lifted a bit, but by the time I had turned around in the valley on the other side to climb back up, it had started to rain again. Here's a short video heading down towards the Warrior river with a view of the skyball ridgeline.
After climbing Skyball, I passed a hunter hunting from the roadside (I don't think you're supposed to do that). I also got a flat tire climbing back up Skyball Mountain, so I changed it at the top right next to the Tour de Cullman Skyball KOM finish line. The video below is me narrating the last part of the climb back up Skyball telling about my favorite Tour de Cullman finish (2011) and also discovering that I had a flat tire. Also, the two pictures are from the flat tire change.
A lot of water (and greasy mud) had accumulated on the wheel
The tour de cullman Skyball KOM finish line
I spent a lot of time on changing the flat tire making sure I cleaned out all the debris that accumulated in the tire because I still had almost 70 miles left to get home. Fortunately, the single tire change held all the way home (although it had developed another slow leak so I had to change it again last night after I got home). I stopped at Locust Fork to refuel, and got two 20 oz Pepsi's and one 32 oz gatorade for a total of $3.50. That was a LOT of liquid sugar for not too much money! I ended up with the nutritional equivalent of a perfect tweet – consuming that plus 7 powergels plus 3 cliff bars for a total of about 2300 calories during the ride arriving home without bonking and having eaten everything I had taken with me.
Shortly after the Locust Fork stop, I turned around on AL-79 to head down to the Warrior River bridge to see if the climb from there to the top of Tucker Mountain would cross the Cat 3 threshold (it did). I also went hard to try to get the Tucker Mountain KOM (I did – but just barely – taking it from somebody named "No One" who had ridden from Huntsville to Birmingham … that ride was only 111 miles compared to my 135 mile out/back ride).
By the time I made it back down into more familiar territory, it was past sunset and pretty dark given the rain. I did get a couple more videos below that are somewhat interesting (tornado damage from a tornado on January 23rd, 2012. And also a video starting the climb back up red mountain (including near miss with car towards the beginning). The audio is really muddled on these because I think water got in the microphone port. After climbing Red Mountain, I put my blinky lights on and rode the rest of the way home in the dark, climbing up to the top of Vestavia Dr just as started to rain pretty hard. The last 6 miles or so were in pretty heavy rain as documented by the last video (iphone)
Rocky Ridge – Vestavia Dr KOM analysis
Today was quite the adventure – two flats and a KOM! The last week of the Strava Shoot-out competition was the Rocky Ridge – Vestavia Dr climb. With over 700 vertical feet of elevation difference and nearly 800 feet total gain (three small downhills), this is one of the biggest climbs you can do in the immediate Birmingham area (Double Oak and Pine Mountain both have more elevation gain, but they are both quite a ways out of town). This climb is really close to me, starting less than two miles from my front door!
So when Mark Fisher put in a spectacular effort to take the KOM from me for the last week of the Fall strava shoot-out competition, I knew immediately that I was going to take it back at some point. I expected that I would have to try several times, but I ended up getting it back on my first try today. The video below is a bikecam video of the entire KOM effort, including the Dashware overlay of power, heartrate, speed, and cadence (the colored bar that circles the power readings).
Shortly after the KOM effort ended, I tried to avoid a garbage truck by riding through some grass onto a sidewalk. The grass was deeper than it looked hiding quite a concrete lip on the edge of the sidewalk. So when I rode onto the sidewalk, I didn't try to bunny hop onto it and I ended up pinch flatting my front wheel on the lip. I had left my phone, tools, tubes, and pump back at the house to save weight for the KOM effort. My only hope was to hitch a ride with somebody back down the mountain. Fortunately, Mike Davies from Richter Landscape Company happened to be driving by in his work truck, and he gave me a ride all the way back down to my house. Huge shout-out and thanks to him … if you live in Hoover, Vestavia, Mountain Brook, Homewood, or Birmingham give them a call at 205-942-1555 to come landscape your yard!!!
The KOM started out well with a bit of a light tailwind. My legs were burning fairly early in the ride as this was the first hard effort of the day, and it was still fairly early in the ride. But eventually I settled into what I thought was a good hard rhythm. Cresting the Veslub Lower part of the climb, I was pretty spent though and started to have lots of negative thoughts about how slow it felt like I was going. But then after I made up the steep part of Vesclub Upper, I saw that my time was just over 9 minutes. In my head at that point I was thinking that all I needed to do was finish the last part in less than 4 minutes and I would beat my old time of 13 minutes. This gave me a lot of motivation because I knew that would be easy. But then a few seconds later I realized that my old time was 11 minutes 13 seconds … not 13 minutes! So I only had a couple minutes left. But by this point I had already made it over to Vestavia Dr and had over a minute left to Mark's KOM time. I knew I could fly up the last section in about a minute, so I was again motivated that I had a realistic chance to beat Mark's time. Coming across the top, I hit the lap button showing a time of 11'03″, but Strava matched it up at 10'49″ because I must have hit the lap button way to early to start the climb. Also, I made this video analyzing my KOM effort in a bit more detail:
After changing out my front wheel and uploading my ride to strava to see if I had gotten the KOM, I headed back out still planning to do another 90 miles or so out to Emerald Lakes to explore the climbs that I had discovered on my way out to Cullman on Christmas. About 10 miles into that ride, I had another flat. This one was from a pretty worn spot on the rear tire – so I put in a $5 bill to boot the tire and limped home after changing the tube. By this point in the day, it was too late to try again to make it out to Emerald Lakes — so I decided to do some climbing in Mountain Brook. Along the way, I made this video of the European bypass road (Old Brook Trail) reflecting on April 27th when the tornadoes came through the area.
After climbing over in Mountain Brook, I headed home just in time to meet Kristine and the kids coming out of the woods on their walk home from school. Later in the day, Josiah and I had a boys' night out at the Lego store monthly free lego night while Kristine took Analise to gymnastics. All around, it was a great day!

Bet the performers had biege tight cut underwear and strapless bras to give the illusion of nudity.I watched the episode of Simon And Simon where they went sleuthing at a nudist club and one of the nudist ladies had a strapless bra on when she was behind a shrub.But when i read Playboy about the Peter Sellars movie a Shot in the Dark the actors there were really nude although you couldnt see anything good

Worked on many events with Meredith throughout the 80′s for special needs children. She was an exceptional person. I knew Greg years ago when he did Romantic Comedy in NY. I can't believe he would say anything like this. Maybe years ago in the heat of a divorce. But why mention it now, it's a mean awful thing to say. -
WiccansEatShit says:
Meredith McCraes husband Greg Mullavey claims he caught her giving blowjobs to many TV executives and actors in his own living room on dozens of occasions back in the early 70′s.
wouldntyoulike2know says:
That guy who plays the groom is very hot. lol. I was watching this and the whole time I am wishing that he would undress! lol. Really wish I could have grown up in the 60s or 70s. Everything was so symbolic. These days they would show all the nude people and that element of "mystery" would be all gone. It probably wouldn't even be as interesting. Thank you for uploading.
ff85258 says:
@wallofvideo It just was a simpler time for me. I was a teen with no worries and saw all the concerts from Nugent to Sabbath to Kiss to Queen to The Who and Stones all in their prime and dozens and dozens more all for under 10 bucks a show. Im just glad I was a teen in the 70′s is all. Love that era.
wallofvideo says:
@ff85258 i'm not so sure the 70s were a simpler time. the kent state & jackson state killings of 1970, attica uprisings of '71, miami rnc convention riot in '72, wounded knee occupation in '73, symbionese in '73-74, watergate, inflation, khmer rouge takeover in cambodia '75-78, jonestown massacre in '78, greensboro massacre in '79, etc. all the same, i hear what you're saying.
randalljones58 says:
@burnstagger What is your definition of wrecked? I think were there. A thrid world country.
ff85258 says:
The 1970′s was a much simpler time. No cell phones, no personal computers, no satellite tv and we could fix our own cars. The '70s had the best music too and concerts were under 10 bucks. Glad I got to experience it but I really do miss it.
knight1768 says:
just wanted to say greg94501 thankyou you brought back memories that were so great,i have this problem,dont know why im saying,but i am as thanx,i have a depression about the past,i just loved it so much,it meant wondeful memories and many things to me,the problem is that most people remember and smile,and carry on,i remember and cry,i really do,wishing it would be then,as i hate the present,i have my children to whom i love,but other than that,the present means nothing but age,people hating.sad
okrabay says:
@burnstagger i never looked at it that way but I think your right, still there is a lot about the 70′s I miss
burnstagger says:
This was all about 70s Communism corrupting the USA. Thank God Reagan came alomg when he did or this country would have been wrecked.

Lord Majestic... very right on. The previous similar intrusions occurred in the communications industry. Newspapers first, Radio/TV second, then Telcos. To a minor extent the entertainment sector has been targeted regarding monopoly etc. Just an observation that when lots of money is being made somebody wants to regulate it. :)

Debra and her husband were ideal guests- quiet, considerate and friendly. We would have them back any time.
Debra and David were very nice and easy going guests. Despite the cold weather snap, I think they enjoyed their stay and all that Fort Collins has to offer!
Debra was a great guest. Very quiet, neat and friendly. I would definitely recommend her and welcome her back any time!
Debra and her son were lovely guests. They were very interesting and I am glad I got the chance to meet them.
Debra was great, very prompt and easy to communicate with. Quiet and clean. Enjoyed speaking with her briefly and would love to have her back again!
Debra was a very friendly, wonderful guest. And David was a nice bonus, meaning a surprise, as Debra had booked the room for just one guest. (I'm sure just a new-Airbnb-user oversight.) Both were clean, quiet, self sufficient and all the things one hopes for in guests. Welcome back anytime!
Debra and her husband David stayed at the house for several days and were wonderful guests...

MeSH | Hip |
In vertebrate anatomy, hip (or "coxa"[1] in medical terminology) refer to either an anatomical region or a joint.
The hip region is located lateral to the gluteal region (i. e. the buttock), inferior to the iliac crest, and overlying the greater trochanter of the femur, or "thigh bone".[2] In adults, three of the bones of the pelvis have fused into the hip bone which forms part of the hip region.
The hip joint, scientifically referred to as the acetabulofemoral joint (art. coxae), is the joint between the femur and acetabulum of the pelvis and its primary function is to support the weight of the body in both static (e. g. standing) and dynamic (e. g. walking or running) postures. The hip joints are the most important part in retaining balance. The pelvic inclination angle, which is the single most important element of human body posture, is adjusted at the hips.
The five or so tubercles and the lower lateral borders of the sacrum, and the ischial tuberosity ("sitting bone").[3]
The hip joint is a synovial joint formed by the articulation of the rounded head of the femur and the cup-like acetabulum of the pelvis. It forms the primary connection between the bones of the lower limb and the axial skeleton of the trunk and pelvis. Both joint surfaces are covered with a strong but lubricated layer called articular hyaline cartilage. The cuplike acetabulum forms at the union of three pelvic bones — the ilium, pubis, and ischium.[5] The Y-shaped growth plate that separates them, the triradiate cartilage, is fused definitively at ages 14–16.[6] It is a special type of spheroidal or ball and socket joint where the roughly spherical femoral head is largely contained within the acetabulum and has an average radius of curvature of 2.5 cm.[7] The acetabulum grasps almost half the femoral ball, a grip augmented by a ring-shaped fibrocartilaginous lip, the acetabular labrum, which extends the joint beyond the equator.[5] The head of the femur is attached to the shaft by a thin neck region that is often prone to fracture in the elderly, which is mainly due to the degenerative effects of osteoporosis.
The acetabulum is oriented inferiorly, laterally and anteriorly, while the femoral neck is directed superiorly, medially, and anteriorly.
The angle between the longitudinal axes of the femoral neck and shaft, called the caput-collum-diaphyseal angle or CCD angle, normally measures approximately 150° in newborn and 126° in adults (coxa norma).[13][dubious ]
An abnormally small angle is known as coxa vara and an abnormally large angle as coxa valga. Because changes in shape of the femur naturally affects the knee, coxa valga is often combined with genu varum (bow-leggedness), while coxa vara leads to genu valgum (knock-knees).[14]
Changes in CCD angle is the result of changes in the stress patterns applied to the hip joint. Such changes, caused for example by a dislocation, changes the trabecular patterns inside the bones. Two continuous trabecular systems emerging on auricular surface of the sacroiliac joint meander and criss-cross each other down through the hip bone, the femoral head, neck, and shaft.
On the lateral side of the hip joint the fascia lata is strengthened to form the iliotibial tract which functions as a tension band and reduces the bending loads on the proximal part of the femur.[13]
The capsule attaches to the hip bone outside the acetabular lip which thus projects into the capsular space. On the femoral side, the distance between the head's cartilaginous rim and the capsular attachment at the base of the neck is constant, which leaves a wider extracapsular part of the neck at the back than at the front.[16] [17]
The strong but loose fibrous capsule of the hip joint permits the hip joint to have the second largest range of movement (second only to the shoulder) and yet support the weight of the body, arms and head.
The capsule has two sets of fibers: longitudinal and circular.
The hip joint is reinforced by four ligaments, of which four are extracapsular and one intracapsular.
The extracapsular ligaments are the iliofemoral, ischiofemoral, and pubofemoral ligaments attached to the bones of the pelvis (the ilium, ischium, and pubis respectively). All three strengthen the capsule and prevent an excessive range of movement in the joint. Of these, the Y-shaped and twisted iliofemoral ligament is the strongest ligament in the human body. [17] In the upright position, it prevents the trunk from falling backward without the need for muscular activity. In the sitting position, it becomes relaxed, thus permitting the pelvis to tilt backward into its sitting position. The iliofemoral ligament prevents excessive adduction and internal rotation of the hip. The ischiofemoral ligament prevents medial (internal) rotation while the pubofemoral ligament restricts abduction and internal rotation of the hip joint. [18] The zona orbicularis, which lies like a collar around the most narrow part of the femoral neck, is covered by the other ligaments which partly radiate into it. The zona orbicularis acts like a buttonhole on the femoral head and assists in maintaining the contact in the joint. [17] All three ligaments become taut when the joint is extended - this stabilises the joint, and reduces the energy demand of muscles when standing [19]
The intracapsular ligament, the ligamentum teres, is attached to a depression in the acetabulum (the acetabular notch) and a depression on the femoral head (the fovea of the head). It is only stretched when the hip is dislocated, and may then prevent further displacement. [17] It is not that important as a ligament but can often be vitally important as a conduit of a small artery to the head of the femur, that is, the foveal artery.[20] This artery is not present in everyone but can become the only blood supply to the bone in the head of the femur when the neck of the femur is fractured or disrupted by injury in childhood.[21]
The hip joint is supplied with blood from the medial circumflex femoral and lateral circumflex femoral arteries, which are both usually branches of the deep artery of the thigh (profunda femoris), but there are numerous variations and one or both may also arise directly from the femoral artery. There is also a small contribution from the foveal artery, a small vessel in the ligament of the head of the femur which is a branch of the posterior division of the obturator artery, which becomes important to avoid avascular necrosis of the head of the femur when the blood supply from the medial and lateral circumflex arteries are disrupted (e. g. through fracture of the neck of the femur along their course).[21]
The hip has two anatomically important anastomoses, the cruciate and the trochanteric anastomoses, the latter of which provides most of the blood to the head of the femur. These anastomoses exist between the femoral artery or profunda femoris and the gluteal vessels.[22]
The hip muscles act on three mutually perpendicular main axes, all of which pass through the center of the femoral head, resulting in three degrees of freedom and three pair of principal directions: Flexion and extension around a transverse axis (left-right); lateral rotation and medial rotation around a longitudinal axis (along the thigh); and abduction and adduction around a sagittal axis (forward-backward); [23] and a combination of these movements (i. e. circumduction, a compound movement in which the leg describes the surface of an irregular cone).[18] It should be noted that some of the hip muscles also act on either the vertebral joints or the knee joint, that with their extensive areas of origin and/or insertion, different part of individual muscles participate in very different movements, and that the range of movement varies with the position of the hip joint. [24] [25] Additionally, the inferior and superior gemelli may be termed triceps coxae together with the obturator internus, and their function simply is to assist the latter muscle.[26]
The movements of the hip joint is thus performed by a series of muscles which are here presented in order of importance[25] with the range of motion from the neutral zero-degree position[23] indicated:
In humans, unlike other animals, the hip bones are substantially different in the two sexes. The hips of human females widen during puberty.[27] The femora are also more widely spaced in females, so as to widen the opening in the hip bone and thus facilitate childbirth. Finally, the ilium and its muscle attachment are shaped so as to situate the buttocks away from the birth canal, where contraction of the buttocks could otherwise damage the baby.
The female hips have long been associated with both fertility and general expression of sexuality. Since broad hips facilitate child birth and also serve as an anatomical cue of sexual maturity, they have been seen as an attractive trait for women for thousands of years. Many of the classical poses women take when sculpted, painted or photographed, such as the Grande Odalisque, serve to emphasize the prominence of their hips. Similarly, women's fashion through the ages has often drawn attention to the girth of the wearer's hips.

This is wonderful body cream - very lightly scented and a smooth, rich (but not too rich) texture that absorbs well into the skin.
SHE has a number of different scented body creams - this one and Frangipani (slightly honeysucklish scent) are body "souffles" - a whipped slightly lighter body butter. The out and out body butters - violet, geranium, mango orange - are pretty similar in texture, just a bit denser. I hate strong lingering scents- these are a delight.
I love this stuff. It smells soooo good. It's warm and comforting and perfect before bed to lull you to sleep. I, like others found this at tjmaxx. It was $6. I want more but online it's $15. We all know that tj maxx and marshals never have consistent stock of anything but I love this stuff so much that if I find more than one at those stores, I'm gonna buy them all up. Too bad you can't find it anywhere else.

I, like many others, really enjoy this scent. It is rich but not overwhelming. I find it a comforting scent to put on before I go to sleep. I like that this soufflé, unlike many other body creams, does not make me smell like a giant coconut that drowned in vanilla. I dislike most lotions and creams for that reason. I have also never had dry skin and really never use body creams so when I do put it on I like it to feel great...the other ones I've tried did not make my skin feel any softer when I woke up. This stuff is super rich and definitely moisturizes. That, coupled with its nice scent and me buying it for a lot less than its original cost make it a keeper. I paid $4 for it and I would probably pay a couple bucks more.

OMG....this creme smells like a bit of heaven! I love the light consistency and it is so moisturising. I had picked this up at my local Marshalls for $4.99/ and have since been scouting my local TJ maxx and Marshalls for more. Have not found anyone else that handles this wonderful creme or any of the SHE products. Would love to try more:)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm a sucker for a body cream that smells wonderful and this really does! Even better, it's super thick and it has retinyl palminate for subtle exfoliation. I was able to pick this up for a reduced price, which makes it an even more incredible find.
I recently purchased this souffle and I'm so pleased with it. The scent is a dream. It is soft and rather yogurt like. My sister-in-law took a whiff and said it smells so probiotic. I think that's a good thing! I just adore milk and honey in combination with one another in beauty products and this was an excellent find. The texture and consistency is lovely. Not too thick and glides over skin so smoothly. The scent is so subtle, so light. That's just the way I like them. I detest anything with a cloying smell. This one is honestly one of the few body products I own with a scent that genuinely calms me. This is all I need after a nice shower to be soft all day. I use this allover. I sometimes just open the jar and inhale because it really smells that lovely. I'm enamored with the fact that the ingredient list is so natural and healthy. Natural oils, Vitamin A, plant extracts and shea butter. I now read the labels on anything I may possibly slather allover my body to make sure it only contains ingredients like these, If not, it isn't coming home with me. They really make such a difference in the quality of your skin. I purchased this for a song and I hope to buy another.
This smells dreamy. At first whiff, it is pure buttercream scent, then changes to a vanilla yogurt scent.
I really like this because it is heavier than some body butters I've used, but not so thick, that it is no good for summer...it is about the consistency of sour cream, if that makes any sense...
It spreads really nicely and then just disappears...no greasy residue.
LOVE the scent...very soft and mild.
I got mine at Marshalls for 4.99...wish I could find more!
I really like this body butter; it s very moisturising yet it is not greasy or heavy at all. The scent is a very light and subtle milk and honey, though does not last. Will definitely be buying again.
This smells just heavenly in its container- the honey note is very strong. It's pretty smooth to apply but I've used better (eg. some e-tailers' souffles absorb quicker). Also, disappointingly, the scent is not lasting at all. I will still continue to use it though if I can find a good milk/honey body mist to pair it with. It retails at AU$14.99, which I don't think it's worth compared to other products of the same nature. (eg. you can get Dove Body Silk for around AU$8.00 which has such a better consistency). Luckily I got mine free with a SHE purchase :)

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is important to provide prompt assistance to vehicles involved in accidents and serious crashes. In more severe crashes, a crash victim typically is unable to call for assistance. Moreover, in some cases, vehicles can not be immediatelylocated after a crash, which prevents the immediate rendering of aid. For example, vehicles that crash in the dark, off the roadway, into a ditch, a ravine, water, or heavy brush, may not even be noticed by passers-by. Some of this problem has been solved with the advent of cellular technology, wherein a vehicle within an onboard Telematics system, such as General Motor's OnStar™ system, can automatically call for assistance when airbags are triggered, forexample. However, even in this case, help may not arrive immediately. Passers-by can render assistance sooner, but only if the vehicle is observable. In addition, not all vehicles have such onboard Telematics systems. In particular, motorcycles areparticularly vulnerable to this accident scenario as these vehicles do not come equipped with onboard Telematics systems or air bags, they are more easily lost off a roadway, and there is a much higher likelihood that a driver would be injured and unableto call for help. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a simpler approach that overcomes most, if not all, of the preceding problems. In particular, it would be beneficial if a simple, low-cost system could be supplied to provide a localized accidentnotification wherein passers-by could notice a vehicle after an accident and render immediate assistance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The features of the present invention, which are believed to be novel, are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by making reference tothe following description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in the several figures of which like reference numerals identify identical elements, wherein: FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a localized accident notification system, in accordance with the present invention; and FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing a method for providing localized accident notification, in accordance with the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The present invention provides a simple, low-cost system to provide localized accident notification wherein passers-by could notice a vehicle after an accident and render immediate assistance. In particular, the present invention provides atechnique to sound a vehicle's horn and flash a vehicle's lights after an accident to summon assistance from passers-by. In this way, a crashed vehicle could be immediately noticed after the crash, even if the vehicle was off the roadway and hidden fromview, thereby increasing the chances for survivability and minimizing the impact of injuries suffered. The present invention could be supplied as a standalone system or used in conjunction with an existing cellular system. For example, the present invention could direct a user's portable cellphone, or a separately-supplied internal cellularcommunication device, to call for assistance. In addition, the present invention could be easily added to vehicles that have other assistance systems (e.g. OnStar™) such that assistance can be rendered as soon as possible. Further, the presentinvention could be added to such existing automobile architectures with little or no new hardware requirements. Referring to FIG. 1, an apparatus 10 is shown for localized accident notification, in accordance with the present invention. In its simplest form, the apparatus 10 incorporates an accident detector 12 and external alert system 14 coupled with acontroller 16. Upon an indication of a crash from the accident detector 12 the controller 16 directs the external alert system 14 to provide an external alert. Preferably, the controller 16 is an existing controller in the vehicle (e.g. a system controller or a Telematics control unit) that is coupled to other vehicle systems through a vehicle bus such as a Controller Area Networking (CAN) bus 34, forexample. However, in those cases (e.g. older vehicle, low-tier automobile, motorcycle, industrial vehicle, etc.) where a controller is not already existing, it is envisioned that a separate controller is provided in a standalone apparatus withappropriate wiring to the necessary systems. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes an ignition switch status detector 18 wherein the ignition switch must be ON for the apparatus to operate. This feature helps discriminate the activation of the apparatus from that of atheft alarm system. In particular, having an accident detection system activate while the ignition switch is ON indicates that there is a driver in the vehicle that may need assistance. Alternatively, an occupant sensor 19, as is known in the art, canbe incorporated into the apparatus to detect an occupant that might need assistance in the event of a crash. Further, a speed detector 17 can be included to indicate that the vehicle was moving at the time of the crash, or moving above a predeterminedrate of speed at the time of the crash. Speed can be readily attained from the vehicle bus in today's vehicles. Neither of these situations are envisioned in a theft alarm scenario and would only be encountered in an accident scenario. Any and all ofthese possibilities can be combined to control the operation of the apparatus. For example, the controller 16 could input any or all of these signals (as shown) to decide whether to activate the apparatus 10. Conversely, these signals could be used togate those signals from the accident detector 12 (not shown). It should be recognized that there are many various combinations that could be used, and all of these possible combinations are applicable in the present invention. There are various means for detecting an accident or crash. As shown for the accident detector 12, a tilt sensor 22, accelerometer 20 and air bag deployment sensor 24 can be used. It should be recognized that there are many other types ofaccident detection that could be used, and all of these possible combination are applicable in the present invention. Most all new automobiles incorporate air bag systems. Those with OnStar™ systems can detect air bag deployment and place a callthrough an onboard cellular device 32 to a remote call center for assistance. The present invention can beneficially use this existing air bag deployment signal 24. Similarly, air bag systems typically incorporate an accelerometer to trigger theairbag. The accelerometer signal 20 could be accessed directly in the accident detector 12 to indicate a crash, wherein an acceleration greater than a predetermined limit is indicative of a crash. For those vehicles without an air bag system (e.g.older vehicle, low-tier automobile, motorcycle, industrial vehicle, etc.), it is envisioned that a separate accelerometer is provided in a standalone apparatus. Alternatively, the accident detector 12 can incorporate a tilt sensor 22, wherein a vehicletilt greater than a predetermined limit is indicative of a crash. It should be recognized that the tilt sensor can have various configurations including an inclinometer, rollover sensor, and the like. The use of a tilt sensor is particularly applicablefor motorcycles which generally come to rest on their side after a crash or accident. The external alert system 14 includes at least one of the existing vehicle horn 28 and vehicle lights 26. The lights 26 can include one or more of the headlights, tail lights, turn signal lights, brake lights, interior lights, or any availableor added lights in or on the vehicle. In operation, the external alert system controls the vehicle lights to flash and horn to sound repeatedly when an accident is detected by the accident detector. Preferably, the external alert system controls thehorn to sound in a predefined sequence to draw more attention to the vehicle and to distinguish it from a theft alarm. For example, the horn (and lights) could be sequenced to provide a Morse code SOS, i.e. three short alerts, followed by three longeralerts, followed up by three short alerts again. Typical vehicles include horns and lights. However, the present invention can also include a standalone alert 30 that can include light, sound, synthesized voice, motion or other means to attractattention. For example, a separate alert can be added, such as is available in alarm systems, to provide a special audio signal to attract attention. In all of the above cases it would be desirable to couple the actions of the apparatus 10 with a cellular device 32 for further assistance. The cellular device 32 could be a standalone unit supplied with the apparatus, a user's existing portableradiotelephone which can be coupled by wire or wirelessly to the apparatus 10, or an onboard Telematics cellular transceiver in the vehicle (e.g. OnStar™). Referring to FIG. 2, the present invention also incorporates a method of providing localized accident notification. In its simplest form, the method 100 includes the steps of detecting 102 an accident in a vehicle, and providing 104 an externalalert to passers-by. As previously explained, the detecting 102 an accident can be predicated on other conditions. In one example, it must first be determined 106 that the ignition is on. In another example, it must first be determined 108 that anoccupant is present in the vehicle. In still another example, it must first be determined 110 if the vehicle is moving during the accident. In still another example, it must first be determined if the vehicle stability system (e.g. skid control system)has been activated. Any or all of these conditions 106, 108, 110 can be implemented before an accident can be detected 102. In a preferred embodiment, the detecting step 102 includes detecting a tilt of the vehicle, wherein a tilt that is greater than a predetermined limit is indicative of an accident. In addition, the detecting step 102 can include detecting adeployment of an air bag as an indication of an accident. Further, the detecting step 102 can include detecting an acceleration of the vehicle, wherein an acceleration greater than a predetermined limit is indicative of an accident. Upon detecting an accident 102, the providing step 104 includes providing at least one of the group of sounding the vehicle horn and flashing the vehicle lights. Preferably, these are existing systems in the vehicle. To distinguish from a theftalarm, the providing step 104 can include sounding the vehicle horn in a predefined sequence. Alternatively, a separate alert can be added, such as is available in alarm systems, to provide a special audio signal, such as previously described forexample. Optionally, the providing step 104 can include providing a manual activation control for the external alert. For rescue workers, it would be desirable to provide a technique for disabling the alert system, so as to avoid distraction and confusion. For example, it is envisioned that the alerting step can be disabled by cycling the ignition switch fromON to OFF a predetermined number of times. Alternatively, a separate disconnect switch or button can be provided. It should be recognized that there are many techniques that can be implemented for disabling the alert function of the present invention. While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to particular embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents substituted for elementsthereof without departing from the broad scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, itis intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiments disclosed herein, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims. * * * * * |

Stage IIA Cervical Cancer
Although the positive trials vary somewhat in terms of stage of disease, dose of radiation, and schedule of cisplatin and radiation, the trials demonstrate significant survival benefit for this combined approach. The risk of death from cervical cancer was decreased by 30% to 50% with the use of concurrent chemoradiation therapy. Based on these results, strong consideration should be given to the incorporation of concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy with radiation therapy in women who require radiation therapy for treatment of cervical cancer.[11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19]
Standard treatment options:
- Intracavitary radiation therapy combined with external-beam pelvic radiation therapy plus chemotherapy with cisplatin or cisplatin/5-FU for patients with bulky tumors.[11,12,13,14,15,16,20] Although low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy, typically with cesium Cs 137, has been the traditional approach, the use of high-dose rate (HDR) therapy, typically with iridium Ir 192, is rapidly increasing. HDR brachytherapy provides the advantage of eliminating radiation exposure to medical personnel, a shorter treatment time, patient convenience, and outpatient management. In three randomized trials, HDR brachytherapy was comparable to LDR brachytherapy in terms of local-regional control and complication rates.[21,22,23][Level of evidence: 1iiDii]. The American Brachytherapy Society has published guidelines for the use of LDR and HDR brachytherapy as components of cervical cancer treatment.[24,25] Radiation therapy to para-aortic nodes may be indicated in primary tumors 4 cm or larger.
- Radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. Radical surgery has been performed for small lesions, but the high incidence of compromised margins, parametrial spread, and positive nodes leading to postoperative radiation with or without chemotherapy make primary concomitant chemotherapy and radiation a more common approach.
- Postoperative total pelvic radiation therapy plus chemotherapy following radical hysterectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy. Radiation therapy in the range of 50 Gy administered for 5 weeks plus chemotherapy with cisplatin with or without fluorouracil (5-FU) should be considered in patients with positive pelvic nodes, positive surgical margins, and residual parametrial disease.[11,12,13,14,15,16]

Columbia Mayor Bob McDavid ushered in the start of flight service between Columbia and Orlando at a ribbon cutting ceremony yesterday (Tuesday). The addition could eventually pave the way to additional Frontier Airlines offerings in the years to come.
According to Columbia Mayor Bob McDavid, the regional airport is well on its way of achieving his goal of 40 percent market share of mid-Missouri travelers, despite the recent announcement that Delta Air Lines would be ending service out of Columbia.
Columbia Regional Airport has a tentative agreement with American Airlines to offer two daily flights to Dallas, and one flight a day to Chicago, Columbia Mayor Bob McDavid announced Thursday.
Mayor Bob McDavid says he now has secured $3 million in pledges to attract a new airline to the Columbia Regional Airport. Roughly half of the money comes from the city. The rest is from private business interests, the Boone County Commission and MU.
McDavid says the new destinations will be big boost for businesses in Columbia, but also for people connected to the University of Missouri
A new report shows Columbia could seek voter approval to raise the hotel tax to pay for a new terminal at Columbia Regional Airport.
Cities like Columbia are authorized to impose a hotel tax of up to 7 percent to fund the "promotion, operation and development of tourism." The report also says the city could also legally levy a fee on each occupied hotel room.Kansas City has such a fee, charging hotels and motels $1.50 per occupied room.
