BLUEFIELD (WVVA) - If you lived in the Two Virginias in 1993 -- and are old enough -- you likely have memories of the massive blizzard that dumped several feet of snow on our region in March of that year.
With the 20th anniversary of that historic storm upon us, WVVA News invites you to share your memories.
You can participate by leaving your comments below, or by sending us photos from 1993 to firstname.lastname@example.com.
WVVA staff members will also be sharing their memories. Those that were here 20 years ago were snowed-in at the station for days!
Many viewers and former WVVA staff members have also been sharing their stories with WVVA News and WVVA Weather on Facebook.
We have also dug up (no pun intended) some of our 1993 coverage of the storm from the WVVA Archives, which you can watch in the video player above. Pardon the fashions.
Snow began falling on the morning of Saturday, March 12, 1993, and didn't stop until several feet covered roadways and vehicles across the Two Virginias.
About 24 inches were recorded in Bluefield, 30 inches in Beckley and around 44 inches at Snowshoe -- one of the highest totals in the U.S.
The 93 Superstorm affected approximately 40 percent of the nation, or about 100 million people in 26 states.
The storm spawned everything from storm surges to tornadoes, and of course, crippling amounts of snow.
Where were you during the Blizzard of 93? Tell us below!

A Keyport woman was arrested Tuesday for allegedly assaulting Oceanport Police officers, according to court documents.
Katrina D. Veney, 23, 244 Orchard St., Keyport, faces two counts of aggravated assault following a Jan. 15 incident in Oceanport in which she allegedly injured two officers who were trying to place her under arrest.
Ptl. Jake Pascucci and Sgt. Raymond Ciani were taken to Monmouth Medical Center and treated for injuries.
Veney allegedly tried to resist arrest for outstanding warrants by refusing to roll down vehicle windows and unlock its doors. She is charged with attempting to disarm an officer after police say she tried to remove Pascucci's firearm "numerous times."
She was also charged with throwing bodily fluid after allegedly spitting in Pascucci's face while he was trying to arrest her, according to the report. Veney also faces charges for kicking and punching both of the arresting officers.
Bail was set at $75,000 with no 10 percent option and is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 23.

Are online travel companies failing to pay taxes?Several states, including New Hampshire, are suing Priceline, Orbitz, Expedia and Travelocity for rooms and meals taxes on overnight accommodations and vehicle rentals. New Hampshire officials say instead of paying the state's 9 percent tax on the higher, retail price that they charge consumers, the companies have been paying taxes on the lower, wholesale rate that they pay vendors.

Dave and I own and operate "Bernadine's Stillman Inn" in Galena IL since 2000. A prime spot to visit if you enjoy History and the Gentle Arts.
Well, we have some seedlings started for the gardens and who can garden without a soap holder at the faucet?
Things slow down a little in the winter which gave me time to whip up some soap holders for the faucets at the Stillman Inn. Hopefully this will help when I'm gardening and someone walks up for a tour. I'll be able to shake your hand with clean hands!
I know, these beautiful bags will get dirty, but it's just extra yarn laying around and it was awful quick to make. I put in a bar of melt and pour soap from our gift shop. I think this will work nicely.
So, consider staying this Spring, Summer and Fall to monitor the gardens and help keep me focused!
Blog Special: mention "Seedlings and Soap" and receive a complimentary bar of melt and pour soap made by the lily white hands of Bernadine!

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Phil Hughes threw eight shutout innings for his first win of the season, leading the New York Yankees to a 4-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics.
Hughes (1-2) limited Oakland to four hits and two walks while striking out nine in his best outing of the year. He had pitched well in each of his last three starts, all no-decisions, allowing a total of six runs over 20 innings after a rough first two starts that included eight earned runs in a total of seven innings.
Chris Stewart and Lyle Overbay slugged solo homers in support of Hughes, while Travis Hafner and Brett Gardner singled in runs for New York. The Yankees bounced back from a 2-0 loss in Friday's series opener and improved to 7-2 on a 10-game homestand that concludes Sunday.
"He mixed all his stuff," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi about Hughes. "He threw a lot of strikes, we played good defense behind him and when we had the opportunity to score runs we scored."
Bartolo Colon (3-1) suffered his first loss of the season after allowing three runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings. The former Yankee did not walk a batter and struck out three.
"He didn't pitch bad," Athletics manager Bob Melvin said of Colon. "He gave up two home runs and a bloop hit. Most days that will keep you in the game and give you a chance to win."
Seth Smith and Josh Reddick drove in ninth-inning runs for Oakland, which lost for just the second time in its last six games.
Stewart led off the third inning by drilling a 1-0 pitch into the left field seats for his second homer of the season and Overbay hit Colon's first pitch of the fifth into the second deck in right field for his fifth homer.
The Yankees continued swinging early in the count against Colon in the sixth, as Robinson Cano doubled to the right-center field gap on the first pitch of the inning, took third on a fly ball to right by Vernon Wells and scored on a bloop single to left by Hafner.
New York tacked on a run in the home seventh when Eduardo Nunez tripled off Chris Resop and scored on a two-out single by Gardner.
"They were big today," Girardi said about the bottom of the Yankees lineup, which accounted for half of the team's eight hits and three runs scored. "(Stewart) gets us on the board and Lyle gets a couple hits. The bottom of the lineup was excellent. Nunez's triple gets us an extra run ... that was big."
The Athletics made it interesting in the ninth against the New York bullpen. Shawn Kelley started the inning for the Yankees and surrendered a leadoff single to Yoenis Cespedes, prompting Mariano Rivera's entrance.
After a Brandon Moss walk and a fielder's choice for the first out, Smith singled in a run and Reddick drove in another when he beat the relay on a potential double-play grounder. Adam Rosales then flied harmlessly to right to end the game.
Oakland hit a few balls hard against Hughes. John Jaso belted the third pitch of the game to the wall in right and Ichiro Suzuki made a leaping catch to steal a potential homer.
The Athletics put together a mild threat in the fifth, as Reddick led off with a walk and Jaso singled to center with two outs. Jed Lowrie then flied to deep center to end the inning.
The Yankees improved to 11-0 when scoring first this season ... Cano notched
his 344th career double, tying Mickey Mantle for eighth on the team's all-time
list ... Chris Nelson, acquired from Colorado earlier this week, made his
Yankees debut at third base and went 0-for-4 ... Oakland went 1-for-7 with
runners in scoring position and left six on base ... Rivera appeared in his
1,064th game, tying Dan Plesac for sixth all-time among pitchers ... The
Athletics placed outfielder Chris Young on the 15-day disabled list with a
quad strain, retroactive to April 30, and recalled outfielder Michael Taylor
from Triple-A Sacramento.

Queen in Blackburn: A day for all to remember
Updated 12:24pm Friday 18th April 2014 in News
MEMORIES – that was the word on everyone's lips as you squeezed through the throng in Church Street yesterday.
For the parents in the 2,000-strong crowd, it was about creating memories that their children, some of them still in buggies, would carry with them forever.
And for the older generation, the scene – a town centre awash with Union flags and imitation crowns – provoked memories of previous royal visits.
As the bell tolled at Blackburn Cathedral, and the clock struck 11am, it was odd to see such a sizeable crowd so quiet.
Then, suddenly, the anticipation gave way to a raucous cheer as Her Majesty the Queen, visiting Blackburn for the first time since 2006, progressed down Railway Road and into Church Street.
The spring sunshine, which was so pleasant earlier in the week, had given way to a grey, overcast Thursday morning.
But the warm smile on the Queen's face as she made her way towards the cathedral lit up the faces of those who had waited for more than two hours to greet her.
The Queen, accompanied by her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, arrived in Blackburn on the Royal Train just before 10.50am.
Dressed in a cerise hat and coat, she was welcomed on the platform by the Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire, Charles Kay-Shuttleworth, and his wife, Lady Shuttleworth.
Lancashire police's chief constable, Steve Finnegan, accompanied by his wife, Jackie, were also on hand to make their acquaintance.
As word of her imminent approach spread, staff and customers spilled out of The Mall, Blackburn Market, banks, pubs and offices to catch a glimpse of the monarch.
Photographers, amateur and professional, clambered on top of stools, benches and plinths to get the best spot for a shot.
School groups and day trippers shouted and screamed, hoping to gain Her Majesty's attention from the roadside.
Everyone seemed to be armed with a smartphone, tablet or digital camera – a concept that would surely have been alien to the Queen when she first visited Blackburn in 1955.
Among them was 80-year-old Eileen Eastham, who was in town to see the Queen for a third time.
Sporting a Union flag top hat left over from the Diamond Jubilee in 2012, Eileen, from Darwen, said: "I've actually been to a garden party in Buckingham Palace.
"I was there because I was awarded the British Empire Medal for 40 years of service to the sea cadets, and then again when my sons received the Duke of Edinburgh Award.
"It's wonderful that the Queen has chosen to come to Blackburn for the Maundy service. It's a real lift for the whole area. You can see that by how many people have turned up today."
Stood next to Eileen was a family with a much different background, but the same unflinching support for the monarchy.
Nafisa Mulla, 44, from Shadsworth, said: "I came over to Blackburn from India in 1990 and I'm a big fan of the royal family.
"My grandfather fought in the war and my son is in the sea cadets so we feel a connection. We are all part of one big community and it's such a big deal to have the Queen here.
"My daughter, Afraa, loves photography so she is here with her camera hoping to create some memories we can all look back on."
The buzz of the crowd was palpable.
"Isn't she beautiful for an 88-year-old?" whispered one woman. "She takes a brilliant photo," cooed another.
"Is that claret she's wearing?" queried a rather worried man in a Blackburn Rovers shirt.
For the Leigh family, the occasion was a big one.
Mum Claire, 32, said: "I just think it's a memory that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. I remember when Princess Diana came to visit my school and I want them to learn about the Royal family and have those same memories."
In a matter of moments, the Queen's car had passed through Church Street, turned down Darwen Street and on to the cathedral grounds.
Despite the chill, hundreds of hardy folk remained huddled outside for almost an hour, waiting for a second glimpse.
And it duly came, just after midday, as the Queen - and her seemingly ceaseless smile - exited the cathedral down Darwen Street en route to Ewood Park.
Outside the stadium was Karen Dewdney, who waited patiently with her sons, Rhys Williams and Noah Williams, both seven.
She said: "We made some Union Jack flags for the children to wave. It is a day for them to remember."
Cheryl Schofield was also at Ewood Park with her children Harry, nine, and Martha, seven.
She said: "It's a great opportunity for the children to come and see the Queen. You never know when you will see the monarch back in Blackburn."
After dining with the borough's religious and civic leaders, the Royal couple were taken to RAF Samlesbury, where a helicopter was waiting to take them home.
Among those present were Jack Straw, Blackburn's long-serving MP, the Bishop of Blackburn, the Right Reverend Julian Henderson, and Venkatesh and Balaji Rao, co-owners of Blackburn Rovers FC.
As the crowd, young and old, dispersed into the market and the surrounding shops, it was clear that new memories had been made.
The children of Little Acorns Day Nursery, Feniscowles, were preparing to do a project on their day out. Laura Atherton, 84, chatted with her friends and compared events to the four previous royal visits she had attended.
That mixture of looking to the future and nostalgia, so evident yesterday, is also relevant to Blackburn as a town.
As the £30m work on the Cathedral Quarter progresses, the council hopes to transform it into a thriving cultural hub, centred around the historic 19th century church building.
New landscaped gardens, shops and a public square are planned; places where the people of the town can create new memories.
And, for many of Blackburn's young people, the first of those memories may well be yesterday's visit of the Queen.

Fox back with Cubs; Waddell to DL
Roster to 12 pitchers as slugger returns for second stint
CHICAGO -- The Cubs on Tuesday recalled Jake Fox from Triple-A Iowa and placed left-handed pitcher Jason Waddell on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 13, for evaluation and treatment of a non-baseball related medical issue.
With the move, the Cubs now have 12 pitchers on the 25-man roster.
This is Fox's second stint with the Cubs, having gone 5-for-12 with two doubles and two RBIs in eight games from May 27-June 9. He was 5-for-6 with two doubles and an RBI as a pinch-hitter.
Fox was batting .409 with 44 runs, 14 doubles, three triples, 17 homers and 53 RBIs in 45 games for Iowa. He leads the Minor Leagues in batting average, on-base percentage (.495) and slugging percentage (.841).
Since he was optioned to Iowa on June 9, Fox has reached base safely in three of four games, going 3-for-13 with three runs, a triple, two RBIs and four walks.

The sudden change is due to a number of factors. For at least two decades, successive governments have attempted to shift the burden of taxation away from personal and corporate direct taxes, and on to indirect taxation. The rates of value added tax (VAT) being particularly sensitive, chancellors felt that they were able to load increases onto the excise duties without the same constraint. No doubt that was due to a public perception at one time that excise on road fuel, alcohol and tobacco inevitably went up every year in the budget, so that increases for a number of years did not attract the same media attention.
Not, that is, until the public discovered that increases of excise had far outstripped other areas of revenue collection. The introduction of the European single market had two significant consequences for excise. One was to reduce the amount of the chancellor's take from customs or import duties, as these ceased to exist within the single market. The other was to create serious frictions between the low or nil rates of excise duties applied in particular to alcohol and tobacco in some of our neighbouring states in mainland Europe, and the increasingly high rates being imposed within the United Kingdom (UK). It is important to note that as part of this process, the European Community introduced Council Directive 92/112 on excise law, (the excise directive) and the UK purported to implement this by means of the Excise Duty (Personal Reliefs) Order 1992 (SI 1992/3155) (the Personal Reliefs Order). And at the heart of the current turmoil in excise law is the attempt in the Finance Act 1994 to extend so called civil penalties from VAT only, and for the first time to include excise. From this point, what had previously only been the VAT tribunals became the VAT and Duties tribunal, and decisions began to emerge on points of excise law.
Chance to lodge appeals
So from 1995 people returning from mainland Europe – disgruntled by the treatment they received from Customs – had the opportunity to lodge appeals to the tribunals against civil penalties imposed in respect of excise duty, and the terms on which restoration was offered – if offered at all – when the vehicles in which they had been travelling were seized by the department for alleged excise offences. From the outset it was clear that there were serious frictions between the 'minimum indicative limits' contained in the UK's Personal Reliefs Order, and the guidelines for commerciality contained in the excise directive. Doubts began to be expressed about the proportionality of the penalties Customs were imposing But apart from a reference made in an early tribunal case called Hodgson (E0008, LON/95/8023), there was no serious attempt for some years to explore the relationship between the excise directive which had re-shaped community law on excise, and the Personal Reliefs Order which had attempted to implement it. Not, that is, until this year.
'Get Tough' policy
At the end of February 2002, the Court of Appeal released its judgment in the case of Lindsay v C & E Commrs [2002] EWCA Civ. 267. The background to the case was that when the European single market had come into operation in 1993, the revenue lost each year as a result of the smuggling of excise goods was something between £30m and £40m. By the year 2000 this had increased sharply to around £3.8 billion on the basis of tobacco smuggling alone.
Faced with this drain on its tax revenues, the government through the agency of Customs had begun to impose an increasingly severe policy of seizure of the vehicles in which the goods were carried by travellers. In 2002 Treasury minister, Dawn Primarolo, announced the new 'Get Tough' policy. Even if the alleged offence were the first occasion on which a vehicle had been found to be employed for carrying goods over the UK's minimum indicative limits, Customs having seized it would not offer it for restoration. Before the tribunal Mr. Lindsay had contested the right claimed by Customs to deprive him of his car, following its seizure when he had been stopped and found to be carrying a substantial quantity of cigarettes and tobacco. In the VAT and Duties tribunal it had been ruled that the decision not to return his vehicle to him had been disproportionate, and would involve him in undue hardship. Mr Lindsay had explained to the customs officers that he had purchased some of the excise goods for members of his family, with money which they had provided. The Master of Rolls analysed both European Union (EU) and UK legislation on the issue. He concluded that there was some confusion about what was meant by 'goods held for a commercial purpose' in the Personal Reliefs Order.
It was pointed out by Lord Phillips that the excise directive had made express provision for products acquired by private individuals for their own use, and for products which are held for a commercial purpose. It had not provided in terms for the instance of the private individual who purchases goods on behalf of others, but not in circumstances which would naturally be described as being as he put it, 'for a commercial purpose.' Lord Phillips cited the case of the tourist who purchases some cigarettes on behalf of and at the request of a relative who has furnished him with the money to do so. On behalf of Customs, it had been contended that if Mr Lindsay had bought cigarettes for members of his family, he was holding them for a commercial purpose, even though he was not going to make a profit from the transaction.
Commercial purpose
Lord Phillips said that he could not accept that a holidaymaker who was returning with cigarettes for his sister, in the expectation that she would reimburse him for the purchase price, could properly be said to be holding the cigarettes for a commercial purpose. There was in his view a very considerable difference between a man who was bringing cigarettes into England to distribute to members of his family against reimbursement, and someone returning to the UK with cigarettes in order to sell them at a profit. The fact that other members of his family were benefiting financially because the goods were cheaper than in the UK did not make the transaction 'commercial' within the normal meaning of that word. Otherwise that would have rendered Mr Lindsay's purchase for his own use also commercial, said Lord Phillips.
But much worse was to come for the Customs interpretation of excise law in Hoverspeed and others v C & E Commrs [2002] EWHC 1630. At the end of July, the High Court in this decision in effect considered that successive UK governments and Customs had failed to appreciate the true nature of the European single market machinery for excise control. The judgment in seven key findings demolished the manner in which it had been previously administered. It found that:

The No. 5 Oregon Ducks pulled away in the second half to take down rival No. 15 Oregon State on Saturday, 48-24.
Oregon has kept hope alive for a trip to the Rose Bowl, and will host the Pac-12 championship game with a Stanford loss to UCLA. The win most likely sealed a BCS bowl trip of some sort for the Ducks.
The game was close for the first 35 minutes. Oregon State got a field goal to end the first half, then Storm Woods got his second rushing touchdown on the Beavers' initial possession of the second half to cut Oregon's lead to 20-17.
It was all the Ducks from there, as De'Anthony Thomas would rush for two touchdowns in less than two minutes. The first was a 5-yard score that capped a 13-play, 66-yard drive. The next came on a 29-yard scamper that followed an OSU fumbled kickoff return. Suddenly the score was 34-17 and the life was sucked out of Reser Stadium.
The Ducks played add-on from there, as they have done time and time again this season. Kenjon Barner would get his second rushing touchdown of the day following a Sean Mannion interception, and a 2-yard touchdown pass to B.J. Kelly left no doubt.
Box Score Hero: Thomas and Barner both had huge days for Oregon. Barner tallied 198 yards and two touchdowns, while Thomas logged 122 yards and three scores in the win.
Rankings Ramifications: The Beavers will likely drop a few spots after losing the the Ducks. Oregon will need some losses by top-ranked teams to move up.
But Did They Cover? The Ducks had little trouble covering, as they were favored by 11.

Next Week's Schedule: Oregon awaits the result of UCLA/Stanford to see if they will play in the Pac-12 title game. Oregon State faces Nicholls State in a makeup game from the start of the season.

In a phone interview Monday, Nielsen said he met Munger once — at the Republican state convention. He said he talked to him for five or 10 minutes and doesn't even recall what they discussed.
Last month, Munger, in two installments, gave $250,000 as an "independent expenditure" to benefit Nielsen's campaign for state Senate. Giving the money in that way enabled Munger to exceed the donation limit that would have applied had he given the funds directly to Nielsen's campaign.
Nielsen said he had no idea why Munger decided help him.
Asked if he'd feel beholden to Munger, the assemblyman said absolutely not.
Munger is a son of Charles Munger, the billionaire vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Corp., the investment company chaired by Warren Buffett.
In recent elections, the younger Munger, an experimental physicist, has pumped millions of dollars into some California ballot-measure campaigns, most notably the initiative that took the job of drawing California's congressional districts away from the Legislature. The website Ballotpedia.com says he put more than $12 million into that campaign.
This year, Munger is supporting Proposition 32, which involves campaign-finance reform, and he is opposing Proposition 30, which would raise taxes to benefit education.
Proposition 32 only reforms "some people's campaign finance," said Chico State University political science professor Charles Turner. "The practical effect is it will only hamper unions' ability to raise funds." The League of Women Voters website said Proposition 32 would "favor corporate special interests over everyone else."
Assemblyman Dan Logue, R-Loma Rica, who was running against Nielsen, said in a recent interview that Munger was "a liberal Republican."
But Turner said he's observed Munger has supported "more conservative-side" ballot measures.
Nielsen said he had "no idea what motivates" Munger. He said he supports some things Munger backs and opposes others.
Referring to Munger's $250,000 gift to Nielsen, Turner said he imagined the millionaire now "wishes he had it back," since Logue, Nielsen's chief rival, dropped out of the 4th District Senate race. Turner said it now looks like "a cakewalk" for Nielsen.
But Nielsen said he's not taking anything for granted. He noted Logue's name will still be on the ballot.
One thing is certain: Nielsen now has plenty of funding.
Secretary of State Debra Bowen's website shows that Nielsen's 2012 Senate committee received about $250,000 between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30, in addition to the $250,000 from Munger.
Bowen's website showed Democratic candidate Mickey Harrington of Magalia had received contributions totaling $3,000. Another candidate, Dan Levine of Chico listed no contributions through Sept. 30. Candidate Jann Reed of Chico did not have a campaign-funding committee, according to the website. When they filed to run, Levine and Reed did not state a party preference.
The special election in the 4th District became necessary when Doug LaMalfa resigned as senator on Aug. 31.

Sheriff's Prison Farm
The Guilford County Prison Farm was first opened in 1935. The Prison Farm has a capacity of 134 inmates and consists of 806 acres of land located in Eastern Guilford County off Highway 61 North approximately two miles north of Gibsonville, NC. The original dormitory building was built by the inmates. The rocks that make up the structure of the original building were taken from the fields by inmates and inmate labor was used to build the building. The average time served by inmates at that time was thirty days to six months.
The Prison Farm was placed under Sheriff Barnes' direction on March 3, 1997. Sheriff BJ Barnes wanted to provide much needed programs for the sentenced inmates in Guilford County. Work programs and classes were chosen that would teach skills to the inmates that would enable them to find jobs upon their release from the Prison Farm and that would provide much needed services to the county. The Guilford County Prison Farm remains the only county operated Prison Farm in the state of North Carolina today.

185 tranmission oil change
Ok, I just bought a 185 and I want to change the transmission oil. When I look at the bottom of the trans the lowest drain plug has a tube coming out next to it, is this for the trans or some other pump? And where is the fill plug. When I look online I can only find info on the older cubs but no pictures on the 185.
Re: 185 tranmission oil change
The tube is for the hydraulic system, the transmission is the storage tank. The plug next to it should drain the transmission but mine is broken so I just took off the back plate. The back plate also has the filler plug.
Re: 185 tranmission oil change
I just tried to see if the drain bolt will move and it looks like its frozen. What is the drain plug thats located about 4 inches to the front and 1 up on the driver side?
Re: 185 tranmission oil change
As Landero says it's also the 'tank' for the hydraulic system. Be sure to use HyTran or another good grade of hydraulic fluid when refilling.

Hi All,
My Cub (not named yet) was running great and just quit. I have tried to start it many times, but have had no luck. Started working on the carb and now have more leaks than before.. bummer. I did some investigation on this website and decided to check the rotor and drive gear. The drive gear is badly worn and almost smooth. Are there possible issues that caused this wear? If so, what might be the cause of this?
BTW.. this website and the people I have talked to from this site are a tremendous help!!

Backpacker Magazine – May 2008
With the right preparation–and a little help from a half-dozen friends, two exotic techno-gadgets, and one very sweaty hypoxic chamber–can a sea-level-dwelling rookie climb the highest peak in Colorado?
From Sea Level to Summit | You, At Altitude | The Kili Cure | How to Reach Your Peak
How to Reach Your Peak
Short of bivouacing in a hypoxic tent, no known lowland training will accelerate the complex physiological systems involved in acclimatization. But with these tips, you can still improve your chances of summiting.
Take steps "Be as specific as possible in your physical conditioning," says Allen Cymerman, physiologist at the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine. That means using a step mill, stairclimber, elliptical–or real stairs or hills. Adds Todd Burleson, president of Alpine Ascents, "Work up gradually to training with a heavy pack and boots–even indoors."
Up load By the time you're two weeks from your climb date, you should be able to ascend 3,500 feet in about three hours–carrying the weight you'll be hauling on summit day. Start training with a light pack, then add 5 to 6 pounds a week.
Go long "You don't want to arrive at your climb never having hiked for 8 hours before," says Peter Whittaker, owner of Rainier Mountaineering, Inc. Schedule weekend days to build up to a distance and time as close to your summit plan as possible.
Give it a rest "Taking breaks is an important aspect of mountain climbing," says Burleson, who suggests kicking off your training regimen with three days of exercise and four days of rest. After a few weeks, add another workout, and eventually get yourself up to five days on and two days off.
Ease off The last thing you want to do is show up on summit day already wiped–or overtrained. A good rule of thumb? Get into peak shape about two to three weeks before your climb, then gradually reduce your effort–called tapering–until the big trip.
Arrive early Though complete acclimatization can take months, the lion's share of the benefits occur within several days of your arrival at altitude. Plan to include a few easy days up high before your final push.
From Sea Level to Summit | You, At Altitude | The Kili Cure | How to Reach Your Peak
Great article. It was entertaining, informative, and very well written.
I thought rapid breathing (Hyper-Ventilation) decreases O2 in the body because of dead space. I thought the best way to optimize O2 intake is to take deep more efficient breaths.
Why was a man using using personal o2 sensors, writing for a backpacking magazine, committing the ultimate sin of wearing cotton socks, in the winter no less? Not another 10 bucks in the budget for wool?
Interesting article.
Would like to know a bit on were to purchase the unit, thus wish that had been a web link inserted into the article.

"So what if it's semi automatic, are you incapable of touching a button without moving the camera three inches forward ?"
No, are you incapable of answering a simple question without belittling people?
I mentioned a specific point because, when I have looked on their site, although it says my cameras are not fully automatic, I don't know, and they didn't clearly lay out (though they might now) what, exactly, that means.
It would be nice if a user could actually take the time to explain that rather than belittle me.
My own personal experience with AFMA on my bodies and my lenses in actual real world shooting, well it hasn't made a blind bit of difference. I have taken the time to push the buttons, all of them, myself, to get the optimum settings manually using Northern Lights interference pattern technique, but if I then switch off AFMA I see no difference in actual output. Maybe I am lucky, I'd happily try FoCal, but my impressions for my gear so far have been I don't need to.
Mt Spokane, thanks for the link, actually I have read your input in FoCal threads before, aren't you a Beta tester or something? Anyway it was the Mac compatibility issues that stopped me buying it last time I looked, if I do get it I suspect I'll wait until v2. Also, do you know if they do a club license type arrangement? I am pretty active in a club and have talked about the club getting a license and then having a calibration day, but that wouldn't work with the current body serial number based setup.
I forgot to quote, it wasn't an answer to your comment but to Drizz321's comment. Yelling and complaining about Reikan is no point when the canon SDK is the issue, as they've stated very clear. Sorry for
The misunderstanding.

A friend who's active in politics recently assessed a certain campaign's chances this way: "Their paid media efforts won't get over the fact that their candidate is a poor communicator."
I've experienced that same truth many times in the campaigns I've worked on as a speech and media coach. Media buys, online outreach and other paid media efforts can quickly suck up all the oxygen in the political space, leaving the campaign's star—the candidate—gasping for attention.
Your candidate doesn't need to be the world's greatest communicator, but if it's not their strength they must commit to working on it. The bottom line is that even a wealth of resources and a willingness to spend them won't cover up that basic fact.
Whether you think of politics idealistically (the art of the possible) or cynically (a blood sport), there's no denying that it's a performance art and candidates have to play to that reality. Much of the movement in the race for the Republican presidential nomination over the past few months has come courtesy of debate performances and key moments on the stump—all of which hinge on the ability of individual candidates to communicate effectively with voters and embrace the stage.
In my experience, campaigns can only fake it for so long. TV ads in which the candidate himself or herself doesn't appear, debates that require only rehearsed bromides on "what the American people want" or a stated preference for Coke or Pepsi, do nothing more than help hide a candidate's mediocre communication skills.
Eventually, candidates need to find real ways to move me—the voter. What ultimately persuades me is the person running for office and what he or she shows me. And that means you need a candidate who knows the art of political performance.
Because you see, I'm a demanding audience. If you want my vote, your candidate needs to be compelling. From meet-and-greets to political breakfasts to handshakes at the factory gates; all the way up to stump speeches, televised debates, broadcast interviews, and paid media—your candidate must both convince and move me. Dare I say he or she needs to rouse my passions and make my blood sing?
W.H. Auden once said, "A great actor can break your heart at 50 feet." That's the mantle your candidate should aspire to. Fortunately, the techniques you need to make your candidate unforgettable are readily at hand. They're the tools of the theater.
The identical techniques actors use on stage and in films to captivate hearts and minds are the ones that you can use to make voters pull the desired lever in the voting booth. Actors understand better than anyone in the world how to move audiences. Your candidate can and should use the same techniques to deliver vote-getting performances.
Here are 10 techniques that candidates need to know and practice if they want to excel at the art of political performance:
1. Total Authenticity: This is the most important of all performance techniques based in the theater. When you speak in situations that matter, what makes you successful is the fullness of your communication in conveying your authentic message. In speaking powerfully, you draw upon all of your means of expression: physical presence, voice, gestures and story, along with your content.
You must never think your job as a speaker is to convey information. Instead, it's to give audiences the complete you joined with that urgent message. And that means total commitment. To persuade, you need to speak from the gut without a thought to how foolish or exposed you feel. Otherwise all of your policy prescriptions will sound as though they're made of air.
2. Live in the Moment: Presence is a term that is used often but seldom defined. Where stage performance is concerned, it means being "there" for one's fellow actors. On the political stage, those colleagues are your audience. They're the ones depending upon you to give them something true that they can believe in and act upon.
Don't wear blinders that keep you too focused on your talking points while ignoring the people in front of you. Live in the moment. Remember that voters want you to be bold, not careful (front-runners, take note). Invest yourself fully—intellectually and emotionally—in the message you're trying to get across. Disappear into that message and by the magic of performance you will emerge with great power. If you want to understand how total concentration mesmerizes, watch Robert Shaw when he speaks of the sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis in the movie "Jaws."
3. Breathing for Speech: Most of us breathe shallowly. To project a strong presence (and to be heard at the back of a crowd), diaphragmatic breathing is necessary. Such belly breathing produces a full, resonant voice that has the sound of authority. It's the ideal method for producing powerfully persuasive speech.

Hi Gary,
Fabulous piece! I can hear these words, in your voice, as if I were in your office. It comes through, too, that you know your politics. I especially like #10: "Look closely at what's happening in those scenes........."
Have you read Mamet's book, The Secret Knowledge? Excellent insights about the "mind" of a Liberal. Took some guts. Thanks for the article. Cary

No Rob Friend? No surprise. A 4-4-1-1 and not a 4-3-3? Again, no surprise. Canada is going with exactly the same lineup they played against Ecuador in a friendly last week in tonight's Gold Cup Group C match against the United States. A team some pegged as a potential surprise team in this tournament, the Canucks can make a statement very early on with a result against the Americans at Ford Field in Detroit, MI.
The most interesting match up will be the United States' Landon Donovan against Canada's Will Johnson. Everyone knows that without Donovan the U.S. attack slows considerably and Johnson is the type of player that can make things difficult on Donovan. Johnson does not know the meaning of the word tired and has the ability to run with Donovan, keeping him from finding the open space he likes to run in.
Canada (4-4-1-1): Hirschfeld; Ledgerwood, McKenna, Hainault, de Jong; Johnson, Dunfield, Simpson, Hutchinson; De Rosario; Jackson
Bench: Borjan, Klukowski, Beaulieu-Bourgault, Peters, Friend, Gerba, Ricketts

A private $25,000 pledge in support of University of Maine Cooperative Extension's agricultural and horticultural education programs at Tidewater Farm in Falmouth is funding a new tractor for the public teaching and demonstration gardens, where fresh produce is grown for area food pantries.
Teams of Master Gardener volunteers from Cumberland County are engaged in the horticulture education programs at the farm, where youth and adults learn best practices for growing fruits and vegetables. Purchased locally, the tractor will also be used in Extension's Farm Tractor Safety classes in which youth and adult drivers gain skills and knowledge for the safe operation of tractors.
The pledge is the lead gift kicking off the 2013 campaign to raise an additional $10,000 to purchase farm tractor implements and gardening supplies for the educational programs in response to the increasing public interest in growing fresh produce and feeding Maine's hungry. The long-range vision for UMaine Extension at the farm is to offer expanded educational and cultural programs year-round for the public.
Since arriving at Tidewater Farm in 2011, UMaine Extension has worked closely with the Tidewater Conservation Foundation, local neighbors, town officials and organizations, such as Cultivating Community and the Center for African Heritage, to create an agricultural learning center offering popular gardening and horticulture programs throughout the growing season.
With the support of the Master Gardener volunteers, in collaboration with UMaine Extension staff, the gardens generated more than 500 pounds of fresh produce for area food pantries in the last growing season, with plans to increase that number in coming years. According to the Good Shepherd Food Bank, 23 percent of Maine's children are food insecure, meaning they do not have enough food to eat on a regular basis. Educational programs at Tidewater Farm are part of UMaine Extension's statewide Harvest for Hunger program that collects and distributes more than 209,000 pounds of fresh produce annually. A portion of that annual harvest is distributed to area food pantries and through the Good Shepherd Food Bank, one of UMaine Extension's key partners in addressing hunger in Maine.
To become involved as a donor or volunteer at Tidewater Farm, contact the UMaine Cooperative Extension Office in Cumberland County, 207.781.6099. More information is online (extension.umaine.edu/cumberland).

The $10 million Dubai World Cup (G1) sponsored by Emirates Airline is the world's richest horse race, featuring top older horses going 1 1/4 miles on the Tapeta synthetic track at Meydan Racecourse in Dubai. Here are some World Cup and undercard contenders putting in their final preparations on Friday morning, with the big race card run on Saturday night (Saturday morning in North America).
Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic winner Royal Delta looks to become the first female winner of the big race. Trainer Bill Mott said, "You couldn't ask a horse to look any better than that. She went great." Mott had contemplated letting Royal Delta pick up a little speed down the stretch, but his assistant and exercise rider Leana Willaford opted to keep the filly in a strong gallop as she had taken hold of the bit and was moving powerfully enough. Regular rider Jose Lezcano will be in to ride on Saturday.
Most mornings Royal Delta exercised in company with UAE Derby contender Lucky Chappy. Trainer Graham Motion said, "That's pretty much his normal personality," adding that if anything, he is "less naughty" now than when he was acquired after winning a stakes in Italy last year. Motion jokingly replied to reporters who told him they had been entertained by Lucky Chappy's pirouettes that "I'm glad I could do that for you."

Our Science – Kohn Website
Kurt W. Kohn, M.D., Ph.D.
During this time (1961-1997), Kohn's major area of investigation concerned the mechanisms of action of DNA-targeted anticancer drugs. He demonstrated that bifunctional alkylating agents produce DNA interstrand crosslinks and that this is their major cytotoxic action. He elucidated a new mechanism of drug action on DNA, based on the anthramycin group of antibiotics. In 1974, he discovered the DNA filter elution phenomenon in which DNA molecules pass through micropore filters at a rate dependent on DNA strand length. Based on these observations, he developed methodology to measure several types of DNA damage in mammalian cells. This methodology was widely used for more than 20 years in many laboratories to study DNA damage and repair in mammalian cells. By DNA filter elution studies, Kohn and his colleagues in 1979-1982 showed that DNA topoisomerases are targets of action of several clinical anticancer drugs. This led to worldwide interest in topoisomerase-targeted drugs that has continued to the present time. In the 1990's, Kohn and his colleagues began to apply the emerging knowledge of cell cycle checkpoints to study the responses of cancer cells to DNA damage. As an aid to this end, Kohn developed a notation for molecular interaction maps that has recently received considerable interest.
Since 1997, Kohn has continued as a Principle Investigator in the LMP, focusing on molecular interaction mapping and computer simulation of bioregulatory networks relevant to cancer and therapeutics. In addition, he continues to collaborate and consult on various LMP projects and with other laboratories.
Current research
Molecular interaction maps
To best apply the emerging biomolecular information to new therapies, vast amounts of information must be organized in a functionally meaningful manner. The equivalent of electronic circuit diagrams are needed by which functional pathways can be traced conveniently and unambiguously, showing the molecular details as well as the network logic. Preparation of useful maps of bioregulatory networks however is difficult because of the extensive protein-protein interaction and protein modifications that characterize these systems. Additional difficulties are posed by interactions at membranes, transport between cell compartments, gene regulation, and interactions between domains within the same protein molecule. Moreover, to be of practical value a map should avoid representing the same component (such as a given protein) in more than one place. To meet these challenges, a convention for molecular interaction maps was proposed, and was shown capable of representing a variety of complex bioregulatory networks (Kohn, 1999; Kohn, 2001).
Kohn and his colleagues are preparing detailed molecular interaction maps of the networks that regulate cell proliferation and programmed cell death (apoptosis). The information for these maps is gleaned from the recent scientific literature. The maps are annotated with salient information and references, and are linked to other databases. This organizes a huge amount of information about the molecular regulatory networks. The maps are used to show the consequences of deletion or defects of particular components of the network, or of drug-induced inhibition of particular pathways.
In addition to detailed molecular interaction maps, the group is preparing logic summary diagrams of these systems, which will eventually be combined into an overall schematic.
Computer simulation of bioregulatory network behavior
To comprehend the functional capabilities of complex networks, computer simulation is necessary. Kohn and colleagues carry out such studies using software he has developed specifically for simulations based on molecular interaction maps. Simulation studies have been published of cell cycle control by E2F and pRb (Kohn 1998) and of the cell's responses to hypoxia (Kohn et al. 2004). Current work aims to use computer simulations to reveal the functional capabilities of the network centered on tumor suppressor protein p53.

Two men arrested in connection with Sunday's triple shooting in Citrus Park, appeared in front of a Hillsborough County judge Tuesday morning. According to police reports, Jason Mark Burnett, 37, and Gary Honish, 47, targeted the three female victims because they thought they had drugs and cash in their home.
Judge Walter Heinrich warned Burnett about a possibility of a death sentence in his case. No bond was set for him. The judge allowed Honish to be released on $250,000 bail.
Honish previously brought narcotics from the house all three women shared on Manhattan Drive, according to Hillsborough Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Debbie Carter.
"Honish took Burnett to the residence, dropped him off, went and parked the vehicle," said Carter.
When Burnett came back, he told Honish he had robbed the women, according to deputies. At about 11:12 AM Sunday, a person walked into the nearby Citrus Park HCSO substation on Gunn Highway and reported the shooting.
"Inside the house, they found two subjects and another subject further down the road," explained HCSO Col. Donna Luscznski.
Deputies found Fern Giddings, 56, dead inside the house. Nell Mason, 52, was also found shot inside. Paramedics rushed her to the hospital, where she later died. The third woman, Mason's 35-year-old daughter, Christina Soto, managed to escape from the home after she was shot.
"I didn't know she'd been shot, I thought she'd fallen off her bicycle," explained Marcia Pembleton, who was on the nearby Upper Tampa Bay Trail when she spotted Soto.
Soto is now stable at St. Joseph's Hospital. Monday would have been Mason's 53rd birthday.
"It's heartbreaking to say the least," said neighbor Michael McVay.
Burnett is now charged with two counts first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, home invasion robbery, and aggravated assault with the intent to commit a felony. Authorities charged Honish with accessory after the fact. Carter says the investigation is ongoing and more charges are pending.
Burnett has a lengthy criminal history, according to Hillsborough County Jail records. His previous charges include resisting arrest with violence, home invasion, animal cruelty, assault on a law enforcement officer, grand theft, and burglary.
The Pasco County sheriff's office says less than two hours before the shooting, Burnett broke into two homes and pistol whipped the occupants to rob them.
Danielle Prince says she woke up to find a man with a gun in her home, beating her boyfriend.
Prince says, " He only managed to get 200 dollars and then he, somehow or another we convinced him to leave and just told him, you really don't want to take parents away from their child and I don't know how he saw heart for us, but not them."
Prince says she is well aware of the murders that happened after her home was robbed, "We are beyond grateful for our lives today."

4.13/5 rDev -1%
Thin head, even from a vigorous pour, ~ 1/2 finger of dark brown foam, relatively quickly fading to an oily, bubbly sheen. Not completely unexpected for the style. Dark black brew, with a nutty red/brown highlight to it. Little flecks of lacing slowly slide down the glass.
Barrel aroma is immediately present with a light tartness and slight funkiness. Dark cacao and roasted malts behind, grain-heavy. Is there a hint of citrus there? If so, I can't really separate the "brewed with citrus" aroma from the liqueur barrel aroma. What the nose portends is a delicate and complex mystery.
Dark cacao first, followed by a thick, chocolatey and roasted malt body which rolls in strongly. Final third gives way to the barrel: slight sweet tangerine citrus, and a fairly strong, but well-balanced, liqueur (alcohol) flavor. Difficult to describe the barrel: woody and earthy, with a vanilla-and-liqueur blend that is hard to quantify.
Very thick mouthfeel, oily with a long finish. Lively with no real sting, virtually no hint of alcohol strength, no foam. Not chewy at all, but silky smooth.
The liqueur barrel isn't right up my alley, but it certainly adds a different kind of BA edge to this complex and very enjoyable stout. Very drinkable, although the liqueur presence causes you to pull up and slow down every couple of sips. Very interesting.
Bottled 2 1/2 months ago. Excited to try this one again in a year or more.

4.14/5 rDev -0.7%
This one pours completely black, not much light passes through this one, even at the edges. The head is tan with a slight tiny of grey. Some wet legging and a bit of spotty lacing is left along the edges of the glass. The aroma pounds forward with a helping of creamy coffee and some light hints of cocoa nibs. Some faint vanilla sits quietly in the background somewhere, accompanied by an almost bourbon-like warmth and character. Overall, it's a bit sweet and grainy on the nose, though I'm not getting much of a citrus character. Maybe a very, very faint hint of orange peel, but nothing that really stands out or catches my attention.
Daybreak starts off with a pillow of some lightly roasted malts and immediately dives into a somewhat smokey character, with a campfire-like charred component and hefty helpings of ash on the back end. Halfway through, the citrus comes out, and in a pretty big way; a nice blast of orange zest and lemon rind rushes to the corners of my mouth and provides a solid sweetness that isn't quite strong enough to be "tart". As quickly as this citrus joined the party, it bows it head and ducks out just as quick, leading the way into an aftertaste that's a bit nutty, woody, and very roasty. Alcohol is tame, especially considering it's 10.5% ABV. Medium-heavy body with a creamy texture and a mild amount of carbonation.
Very solid stout here, with a nice, albeit somewhat strange, addition of citrus flavors. Very drinkable and smooth given the high alcohol content. This went down without a problem, although I don't know if it's worth giving up a lot to get your hands on it. Nevertheless, still a solid stout all around.

Big thanks to Kels' bf for the bottle.
500ml brown bottle poured into a snifter.
A: Pours deep black with medium viscosity. Not much head or retention. Not really any lacing but some oily legs.
S: Definitely plenty of citrus that smells kind of odd blended with the stout. Not a ton of roast.
T/M: Plenty of citrus and more citrus flavors from the hops. A bit more roast than in the nose and a bit of chocolate. Nice velvety slim mouthfeel than finishes surprisingly dry.
D: Interesting beer that's a bit odd. Not my favorite but worth a try.

Thanks to Josh for this one. 500ml bottle into a Cigar City snifter. Shared with schen9303.
Pours a big, 2 finger frothy mocha head with good retention. Beer is opaque black with stringy, thick lacing with decent cling. Moderately oily legs. Very solid overall.
Nose is orange rind, cocoa powder, liquorice, fudge, roasted malt, and lactose. Aromatic. Decently complex though a touch grainy.
Opens sweet fudge, mocha, and chocolate. Some citrus sweet notes float in and out but don't really make their presence felt. Roasted malt tartness with lactose to smooth things out at the middle. Finishes chocolate and some dark fruit. Coffee, cocoa powder, and roasted malt in the aftertaste. Decent. This one grows on you with time.
Medium to full bodied with low carbonation. Silky and rich in the mouth and warm with a touch of heat going down. Messy finish with a sticky, lingering aftertaste. Near perfect as always with Hill Farmstead.
Although this is still a very solid creation, its not one of the better dark beers from Hill Farmstead. That's not a knock against Daybreak but rather a complement to the incredible lineup from HF. Probably not worth the asking price but I wouldn't mind revisiting this in the future.

500 mL bottle poured into a CBS snifter. Thanks to Kirchhoff for this bottle!
Appearance - Pours with a nice mocha head. It settles into nice swirls of foam atop a black body until it finally fades into a ring. The foam clings to the glass.
Smell - I've been reading reviews where people are saying that the orange flavor is an afterthought, but I think it's fully integrated into the stout/porter aroma. Huge hop presence, which certainly blurs the line between what is hops and what is orange, but the orange is distinct from the hops. Smells like a black IPA with a giant chocolate backbone and a nice aroma of orange peels.
Taste - Huge hop profile at first. Citrus hops. This feels like it was dry hopped like an IPA. Chocolate in the background that eventually comes to the forefront. Distinct orange flavor throughout the drink. It neither fades nor becomes more prevalent. It adds to the flavor nicely. Really terrific.
Mouthfeel - It's got a bitter finish, but it's negligible considering the hop presence of this stout. It tastes nowhere near 10% ABV. I keep taking sips to wrap my taste buds around the citrus flavors and the alcohol never makes an impact.
Overall - This is great. Definitely something that needs to be consumed fresh. It has probably already faded, but it's still delicious. I could go for a touch more roasted malts to really bring out the complexity of the base stout, but the oranges are a great touch. Yet another exceptional HF beer.

500 ml bottle into a couple of glasses. This is another one courtesy of Stakem.
Pours black with a thin frothy head of milk chocolate foam that flares up quite nicely when swirled, dotting the sides of the glass with a good bit of spotty lace. The aroma smells of bitter orange citrus, roasted coffee, cocoa and a ripe herbal feel. The orange probably has the strongest presence here.
The taste has a bitter orange rind character to it that stands out against a backbone of flavorful coffee and sweet notes of chocolate and caramel. The finish is dry and burnt with some lingering pithiness. The mouthfeel is fuller bodied, with a slick and creamy feel that dots the tongue a bit with a touch of crispness. This is extremely smooth feeling overall for 11% ABV and I probably never would have guessed that it was that high without looking at the bottle.
I dug this. It's got a pretty nice Double Stout base to it as is but then that orange zest added an interesting dynamic to this that worked rather well with those other flavors. And I still can't believe that this is 10.5% ABV. This is a smooth, flavorful and quite unique sipper for sure.

Poured a nice dark black with a thick dark tan head.
The smell is a nice misture of chocolate and citrus, nice fresh hops, a touc of orange.
A nicely hoppy imperial stout, the chocolate mixes well with the oranges. Nice contrast of citrus and dark malts.
The mothfeel is a nice mixture of creamy and resiny, thick and oily.
Drinkable and very tasty, more like a really good black iipa

Small Error Gap But Big
Hi, my site requires users to complete a certain task on the site everyday before the end of the day 23:59:59 (don't worry about timezones or the task)
The task has a $today_status (complete or incomplete)
I have a cron that runs at the start of the day (00:00:01) to do 2 things:
01 - check if all tasks were completed yesterday (check for all tasks that are still incomplete)
02 - reset all of yesterdays tasks back to incomplete so the user can start the task again today (for the new day)
Each task has a count down timer displayed next to it so that the user can see one of the following two timers:
A (IF $today_status = incomplete) - the time they have left to complete the task (counting down to the end of the day)
B (IF $today_status = complete) - the time they have to wait before they can complete the second task (counting down to the end of the day)
I have 2 small problems that are related:
The crons runs as soon as it turns into a new day at 00:00:01 however the cron not might finish processing all of the tasks until 00:07:19 so there is a 7 min error gap... this could increase as more users join.
So, if the user has completed the task for the previous day, and then views the task at 00:03:27 the next day... $today_status could still be 'completed' as the cron might not have processed it for the previous day yet... and there for the timer will say
(time left to wait before you can start the next task)
It will say the above because it is still in 'complete' status... however the user just logged in early so they could complete today's task early BUT the site is telling them otherwise... it is telling them they have to wait until tomorrow to complete the next task...
I hope i am explaining this correctly and thank you so much if you have bothered to read down this far... any help will be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance

Timestamp? Store a timestamp for when user last did a task?
With a timestamp you can check individually instead of by cron?
If a timestamp cant do, why not tell the script the cron job has started, and as such the task is not yet available? Set a flag in a file, or DB.
You are a bit vague... The above is just fishing for a solution.

I'd run this slightly different so that you don't need a cron job, just a query to check progress for whenever you feel like it.
whatever your current setup is
task_completion TIMESTAMP
on the server side in php, ensure that multiples are done for the same day before insertion into completions, this will allow the user to work ahead if you / they want to without a cron running.Kyle Wolfe

It's been a long time since I have written a blog entry. I have thought of many things over the past month that I wanted to say but have not been able to bring myself to sit down and share in a public way. Interestingly, I wrote in my training journal everyday – a task as habitual to me as brushing my teeth. However, my training journal is merely a collection of raw data. I never truly get into the emotional and psychological aspects of sustaining an injury and coping with the aftermath – I just write down my workout (sets, reps, weights), time of day, location, who I am with, and a few words on what my body feels like.
Today is 4 weeks since I injured myself. On Thursday December 10th I was warming up for my first set of back squats and bent down to pick up a 25lb plate. As I lifted the plate and extended it slightly in front of me to place on the bar, I felt a pop in my back and excruciating pain and numbness spread through my chest, upper back, right shoulder, right arm, hand, and the right side of my face. I dropped the plate, stood paralyzed by shock and fear and then tears started to roll. I knew that I had sustained a disc injury.
Long story short (I am new to blogging so I have the tendency to write a novel, maybe if I blogged more often the entries would be shorter ), a nurse that came upon me thought I had a stroke and insisted that I go in an ambulance – that got me even more upset. I refused and my sister took me to HSS (Hospital for Special Surgery) in NYC. I knew that I needed to get the best possible medical treatment.
That 30 minute drive was the longest and most painful 30 minutes that I have ever spent in my head and body. Filled with fear, all of my thoughts were negative. What if can't workout ever again?…What will I do for a living?…What if I can never feel my hand again?…Who am I if I am no longer the physical self that I used to be?….
Fast forward a little. My diagnosis was cervical and thoracic disc herniation – hopefully not rupture. The doctor gave me prednizone and valium and sent me home. She told my sister that I was absolutely not allowed to move for the next few days. For the first time ever in my life – even if I wanted to move, I couldn't. I spent the first 72 hours awake and sitting. I could not move myself into a horizontal position.
A week later the MRIs confirmed that I had herniated my C5,C6,C7 and T1. I was told that I would feel better within 6 weeks. What does feel better mean? Does that mean that I could go do heavy deadlifts? Somehow I knew that wasn't what the doctor meant. Patience and listening to my body would be crucial to my recovery. I would have to put my ego and exercise dependence aside and actually REST!
Rest was the only option by default the first week. I could not drive, pour a glass of water, wash my hair – you get the picture. But, as I started to feel better, rest was a concerned effort. I kept wanting to test it. I needed to know if I was going to get better. Thankfully, once again I had a very strong support system. The people that cared about me watched to make sure that I didn't screw up. They kept my spirits up when I was inconsolable.
In the next blog entry, I will tell you about the cause of my injury (obviously the 25lb plate was only the straw that broke the camels back) and the warning signs.
The 3rd and final blog entry of this series will address what I have learned and how it could be useful for helping others. I will also talk about my road to recovery and where I am at one month post injury.
As a note I want to thank my sister, Mac Ward, my parents, Pat Manocchia, Dr. Jen Solomon, John Alsop, Dr. Marcus Forman, and Dr Rob DeStefano. These people were all critical in my physical and emotional care. I want to thank my friends as well for keeping me occupied when I couldn't workout.

Chrysler Group LLC says it will recall about 490,000 cars and utility vehicles worldwide because of a problem with active head restraints intended to prevent neck injuries in rear-end collisions.
The carmaker said Wednesday that microcontrollers in the head restraint could be faulty and prevent the system from operating properly. Chrysler says it is unaware of accidents or injuries related to the problem.
Vehicles affected are the 2011-2013 Chrysler Sebring, 200 and Dodge Avenger midsize cars; 2011-2013 Jeep Liberty SUVs and 2011-2012 Dodge Nitro SUVs.
Chrysler is notifying customers and will replace the component or upgrade software at no cost.
