Hey guys, it's been around 8 or so months since I started losing weight and stuff. Here's some progress. I went from 245~ lbs to 135 now. I took this picture in the gym today. (lol @ the new years resolution***s at my gym) Anyways, obesity isn't due to genetics. You CAN lose weight. Don't drink diet coke **** and cheetos. I ate lean meat, healthy fats, complex carbs, and veggies every single day. I was at a deficit of around 1500 and now I eat about 2500~ a day for my clean bulk. I was just making this thread to show everyone that it IS possible. Don't ****ing give up. Think of how much happier you'd be if you didn't give up. Give up now, and you'll regret it in a month when you're behind in progress. Will post my routine afterwards. I'm 5'9, and I'll be 17 tomorrow also. I just take in protein and creatine. That's all.
Edit: sorry I can't post links guys, I don't have over 50 posts.

Speaking on the occasion of the team's presentation of the their new car, the F14T, and drivers Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen – Montezemolo said, "Now it is time to win. I have a lot of confidence in the new technical director James Allison and in the work that our people have made with the engine. It is a very complicated engine and a very complicated system and I think at the beginning of the season reliability will be crucial." Stefano Domenicali, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen with the Ferrari F14T "Whenever we have new rules it is difficult from the beginning to find out who is competitive, but our goal is to be on top and do our best. [Stefano] Domenicali has done some innovation within the team and I'm very confident," said the Ferrari boss. Montezemolo fully supported the decision made by Team Principal Stefano Domenicali to bring Raikkonen back to the Maranello fold, despite the Ferrari chief having previously stated that he "never quite understood" the Finn. But the he and the team have put emotions aside by uniting the two most experienced drivers in Formula 1, and certainly among the best of the current era, with the sole ambition being to resume winning World Championships. Montezemolo said, "I am confident because we have a strong team, I think we have all the ingredients to be very successful. I'm pleased to have Kimi back. Kimi was the last driver to win the Championship with us. Fernando has [had] fantastic seasons by achieving second place in the last four years." (GP247) Subbed by AJN.

Salt & Straw Restaurant Review: The siren smell of homemade waffle cones draws long lines to Salt & Straw's doors, even on cold wet days. The line moves surprisingly quickly, even though the friendly staff will patiently let you taste all of the flavors you're tempted to try. Some of the more eccentric flavors --- pear and blue cheese, minced turkey with stuffing --- definitely require sampling. In the end, one of the more conventional flavors such as Stumptown coffee bourbon, sea salt and caramel, freckled woodblock chocolate, or almond brittle with salted chocolate ganache are guaranteed winners. All the flavors derive their intense tastes from carefully sourced organic ingredients and a custard with a butter fat content even higher than Ben & Jerry's. Indulge anyway. These scoops are totally worth the calories.

The Longest Way 1.0 is a quick video diary posted by Christoph Rehage earlier this year, chronicling his intent to walk from Beijing, China all the way to Germany. Although he didn't complete the journey as planned, he made it about one year on foot (with a number of bus, truck and plane rides which although did not contribute to the distance he walked, was necessary to sort out several things of either personal or bureaucratic nature). In all, he walked 4,500 kms before returning home.
The video was named one of Time's top ten viral videos of 2009 and displays in quick fashion the people and places he encountered. It also showcases his hair and beard growth during the year-long walk, starting off clean shaven and ending with his mangy head and chin being shaved back to it's near original form.
The German student made sure to include the music o Zhu Fengbo ("Olive Tree") and more prominently, The Kingpins' "L'aventurier" (who he speaks highly of) from Montreal. Make sure to check out more of their ska/reggae music on their MySpace page.

LAWRENCEVILLE - Murder charges against a 21-year-old woman accused in the November death of a 17-year-old man are set to be dismissed, attorneys said Thursday.Stephanie Brianna Buskey of Johnson City, Tenn., was arrested in March 2007 after authorities found evidence alleging Buskey's and 20-year-old Cleondre Lamarr Lacey's involvement in a drug-related robbery and fatal shooting at a Lawrenceville home. Buskey and Lacey were subsequently indicted three months after their arrest on charges of felony murder and armed robbery. According to a police report, officers found Cunningham shot to death inside his home and his 18-year-old friend Paul Theodore Mayhew outside suffering from gunshot wounds. Cunningham was pronounced dead at the scene, and Mayhew was transported to Gwinnett Medical Center. Gwinnett police detective J.D. Smith, who testified during a court hearing in April, said Lacey and Buskey went to the home to steal marijuana. Police believe Buskey drove to the home and stayed in a vehicle outside while Lacey went inside. At the time District Attorney Danny Porter said the two could face life in prison if convicted of murder. Buskey's attorney John Steakley said his client pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess marijuana and one count of conspiracy to commit armed robbery, both felonies. As to the armed robbery, Steakley said Buskey entered a "best interest" guilty plea, which would allow a possible lesser sentence. Buskey's attorney alleges she was simply at the scene but had no knowledge or expectation of any weapons being involved. "All other charges as to Buskey will be dismissed," Steakley said. "The (district attorney) filed a superseding accusation which took the place of the charges in the indictment." Steakley said Buskey's plea is the result of 10 months of investigation and negotiation by the state and the defense. "She is pleased with the result, as it avoids the potential life sentence she faced if convicted of the original charges," Steakley said. "This arrangement also leaves her eligible for parole, for which she should be a good candidate." Judge Tom Davis heard from the state, the defense and Cunningham's mother and decided to defer sentencing until the conclusion of Lacey's case. Steakley anticipates the state will call his client as a witness in Lacey's trial, set to begin March 3. He said "(Buskey) will give testimony consistent with her previous statement to police. Afterward, we anticipate a sentence recommendation from the state of 15 years, with the first 8 to be served in custody, and we will ask (the judge) to accept that recommendation." Both Buskey and Lacey remain at the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond. Steakley said Buskey regrets her involvement in the incident. "She wanted me to extend her condolences to the families of Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Mayhew," Steakley said.

Traditional Programs "It's time to vote," "You're fired!" "Will you accept this rose?" are phrases that have become a big part of our recent television and pop culture. How do camps turn these themes into programming that helps us to bridge children from the television and into the natural, magical world of camp? I like to think it is by taking TV shows, movies and popular fads and re-constructing them to represent the values and good choices we want kids …

|I finally have to change the license plates on my 1994 Honda Civic. Problem was, the bolts were stuck. Heck, they've been there for 10 years, what do you expect?
So I tried some 'liquid wrench' type stuff from the auto place, all it did was make me stink like a mechanic (not that there's anything wrong with that!). So, DH forged ahead and using the vice grips, we managed to get the plates off by tearing off the head of the bolt. Grand!
The problem now becomes, how to attach new plates with the rest of the bolt inside the car? Any ideas? I searched the web for plate holders that aren't necessarily held on with bolts, but didn't find anything. I understand the opportunity for theft, but now what am I supposed to do?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Follow-Up Postings:
|Usually these bolts are threaded into plastic pieces, so your biggest challenge will be getting what's left of the bolts out without totally ruining the plastic. If this was on a bumper and you had access to the back of the hole, I'd say just tear the plastic out and use a screw, washer and nut to put the new plate on, but I think on a Civic the plate is on the hatchback or back of the trunk lid, so you probably don't have access to the back of the hole.
Given that, the best thing I can think to do is buy a good quality metal boring drill bit slightly smaller than the diameter of what's left of the bolt and just drill it out. I have had good luck with the Bosch, DeWalt, and Milwaukee drill bits. You're looking for one bit that'll cost about $5 or $6, not a set of supposedly "metal boring bits" from some off-brand, because usually those won't actually drill through metal.
Be sure to wear eye protection when drilling through metal, and a plug-in electric drill works better than a cordless because the electric ones usually spin faster. Be very careful when you get toward the bottom of what's left of the bolt so the drill bit doesn't shoot through the hole and damage something on the other side.

TB Notes Newsletter
No. 1, 2010
DTBE Image Library Contest Winners!
DTBE Image Library Photo Contest
This year we had many entries for the DTBE Image Library photo contest. There were so many good entries that we decided to choose first-, second-, and third-place winners. The winning photos were chosen based on image quality, composition, and value or appropriateness to the division. All photos submitted for the contest were judged by division staff with photography, TB laboratory, communication, and public health experience.
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Sundari Mase of the Field Services and Evaluation Branch is the first-place winner, and Dr. Wanda Walton of the Communications, Education, and Behavioral Studies Branch wins second and third place in the DTBE Image Library Photo Contest.
Photo Contest 1st Place
Image title: TB Patient – 3.
This is a photo of a patient with multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB in Chuuk before treatment. The photo shows an 11-year-old female MDR TB contact who presented with cough, fever, night sweats, and massive right cervical lymphadenopathy. The patient was placed on an MDR TB treatment regimen and is currently much improved with no further symptoms.
The first-place image was taken by Sundari while she was working in Micronesia as an MDR TB clinical consultant and for the study following up the MDR TB contacts on LTBI treatment. The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is an independent country, made up of four states, located in the Western Pacific. It is currently affiliated with the United States by a Compact of Free Association. Chuuk is the largest of the four states with a population of 55,000. During 2007, the TB incidence rate in Chuuk was 127 cases per 100,000, 30-fold higher than the U.S. rate (4.4 per 100,000). The first known MDR TB case in Chuuk was reported in December 2007. By April 2008, four deaths from MDR TB had been reported. On May 15, 2008, FSM requested CDC assistance in investigating these cases of MDR TB.
The July 2008 investigation found evidence of two simultaneous MDR TB outbreaks, distinguished by genotype, drug-susceptibility patterns, and epidemiology. The first outbreak included three patients with MDR TB disease with Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates resistant to five drugs.
Photo Contest 2nd and 3rd Place
The second- and third-place images were taken by Wanda while she was working in Nepal. Approximately 107,000 Nepali-speaking residents of Bhutan have been confined to seven refugee camps in southeastern Nepal since 1990. With almost 2 decades of failed initiatives to return or locally integrate them, the resettlement program in Nepal began in 2008 with the United States agreeing to resettle approximately 60,000 Bhutanese refugees over the next 5 years.
Before entry into the United States, these applicants are required to undergo medical screening for diseases of public health significance, referred to as inadmissible conditions, which includes infectious TB. In August 2009, Wanda was a member of an evaluation team which traveled to Damak, Nepal. The team included representatives from CDC's Division of Global Migration and Quarantine and DTBE, in partnership with two consultants external to CDC and a member of Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC). The purpose of this program evaluation was to provide an objective, in-depth, and sensitive assessment of the International Organization for Migration's operation within Nepal in relation to the application of the new TB Technical Instructions for detection and treatment of TB in this refugee population.

Usability Study Results of the CDC TB Website Redesign
The TB website redesign was launched on June 1, 2009. To evaluate the new design, in November 2009 the DTBE Web Team conducted a usability study. The purpose of the study was to gather data for comparison with 2007 baseline data that had been gathered from a usability study conducted on the previous website design.
Study Methods
The November 2009 study followed the same methodology as the 2007 study. It was conducted remotely using a software program called Web Effective. Gov Delivery, the CDC e-mail subscription tool, was used to secure potential study participants. An e-mail that contained a link to the study was sent through Gov Delivery to DTBE website update subscribers. The study took on average 46 minutes to complete, and was completed by 165 participants working at their own computer.
During the usability study, participants--
- Completed a background questionnaire,
- Answered questions regarding their initial impressions of the website,
- Performed real-world tasks on the website,
- Answered questions about what they liked or disliked on the website, and
- Answered demographic questions about themselves.
Study Participants
We had an equal number of participants from each user group (general public, health care providers, and public heath professionals) of the DTBE website, with 75% of study participants being female. Also, participants were predominantly 35–64 years old; 37% worked in state, local or federal government, and most had achieved a bachelors degree or higher (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Education of participants
See data table for more detail
See data table for more detail
In 2009, more participants considered their level of Internet experience as "expert," an 8% increase from the 2007 study. Participants who had previously visited the DTBE website prior to the study decreased from 86% in 2007 to 70% in 2009. Of the 70% of participants who had previously visited the DTBE website, 83% visited once a month or less. In 2007, 79% visited the DTBE website more than once a month, with the largest proportion (47%) visiting on a weekly basis (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Participants' use of DTBE website
See data table for more detail
See data table for more detail
Study task scenarios
The study included 20 task scenarios. Each participant completed 10 tasks, 6 of which were specific to his/her user group. Of the 20 task scenarios, 4 were presented to all participants.
Following is an example of a study task presented to all participants:
"Use the CDC DTBE website to find data on TB cases in the United States. What was the number of TB cases in 2008?"
Participant impressions
At the start of the study, 71% of participants had positive feedback on the newly redesigned TB website. This was an increase from 51% in the 2007 study.
Positive and negative feedback was recorded in response to the following question, "What is your initial impression of the DTBE website?" Below are some of the comments received.
Positive comments
- "Professional. Love the topics buttons. Don't have to look for the information all over the site; it is right there in front of me."
- "Easy to navigate, catchy, not intimidating, easy to find whatever info you might want – one of the best websites I've seen."
- "It's informative. I like the way it's laid out. It's attractive, simple and direct."
Negative comments
- "Lots of information, busy."
- "Needs more order."
- "I knew exactly where to find what I wanted on the old one. Still have difficulty finding things here."
Figure 3. Participants' initial impression of the DTBE website.
Only 11% of participants had negative feedback compared to 21% in 2007 and 18% provided neutral feedback compared to 28% in 2007.
Participant performance
Overall, the new website design resulted in an 11% increase in participant performance compared to 2007. While 61% successfully completed task scenarios in 2007, 72% were successful in 2009.
Compared to 2007, participant performance in 2009 improved significantly on a number of key task scenarios. In figures 4 and 5 below, the tall blue columns indicates that most participants were successful in completing the task, whereas a tall yellow column indicates that most participants failed to complete the task. Please refer to appendix A for study task scenarios.
Figure 4. Participants' success completing task scenarios, 2009
See data table for more detail
Figure 5. Participants' success completing task scenarios, 2007
See data table for more detail
In the 2009, study participants successfully completed 16/20 task scenarios compared to 12/20 task scenarios in the 2007 study; refer to figures 4 and 5.
In 2007, more participants were unsuccessful than successful in completing the following eight task scenarios:
- How would you take an online course about TB?
- What should you do if you think you have been exposed?
- A skin test reaction less than 5 mm is positive in what groups?
- Order Forging Partnerships publication
- Find QuantiFERON®-TB Gold testing locations
- Find out how TB disease is spread.
- Order Get the Facts booklet
- Find out if it is safe to receive a TB test while pregnant.
In 2009, more participants were unsuccessful than successful in completing the following four task scenarios;
- Order TB Questions and Answers
- Order Get the Facts booklet
- What should you do if you think you have been exposed?
- Order Forging Partnerships publication
Figure 4 illustrates that 44% of the study participants successfully ordered the booklet entitled Get the Facts in 2009, compared to 13% in the 2007 study. The task scenario related to TB exposure (What to do if you have been exposed to TB) was successfully completed by 45% of the study participants in 2009, compared to 47% in the 2007 study. The task scenarios, "Order the TB Questions and Answers booklet" and "Order the Forging Partnerships publication" decreased in success in the 2009 study.
This study indicates that the redesigned DTBE website has increased user performance compared to the previous TB website by 11%. The DTBE Web Team would like to improve upon this by increasing overall success to higher than 72% in 2010. This usability study will aid in making improvements to the DTBE website in 2010. Some of the changes that will be implemented in 2010 are incorporating more images to the DTBE website, reviewing the number of clicks users make before finding popular information, and making it easier to order publications within publication web pages. In 2010, DTBE plans to conduct further usability studies. At that time we will reach out to DTBE website users for assistance.
We would like to thank all who took the time to complete this study, and welcome any comments and feedback you would like to share with the DTBE Web Team firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: The Fermodyl treatments were developed by specialised protein chemists working in the textile industry. These scientists created a molecule that has the capability to merge with hair fibres, interact with keratin, and restructure hair.The Fermodyl formulations use these protein molecules to penetrate right to the cortex of the hair shaft and then build from within. This chemistry is unique within the hair care industry.Standard hair products may improve hair strength by less than 1%. But by interacting with the hairs make up, the Fermodyl formulations improve the tensile strength of damaged hair by up to 15% and increase the diameter of the hair shaft by up to 20%. By increasing tensile strength, Fermodyl Interactives help weaker hair become stronger and help prevent breakage.The products have not been tested on animals and all the products and packaging are biodegradable and recyclable.

The Department of Africana Studies provides an undergraduate education that draws from the intellectual heritage, accumulated knowledge, enduring experiences and contributions of Africa and its diaspora. Through multi- and interdisciplinary methodologies, students acquire knowledge in ways that help them build their analytical and critical thinking skills. Students are helped to use their knowledge and experiences to prepare for graduate study in a variety of fields and for rewarding careers that will enhance the quality of their lives and contribute to the development of their communities.
Students may pursue the standard major in Africana studies or a concentration in a track. Many students find it productive to combine Africana studies with another discipline in a dual major. Students also may minor in Africana studies. Students who select the major or double-major in Africana studies have the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge through internships or field research.
Career and Academic Paths
Majors in Africana studies have continued on into graduate and professional schools and built successful careers in many fields, including public affairs, law, health, government, social work, education, the visual and performing arts, and business and management. Many students planning careers in medicine, law, public policy, social work and education pursue a second major or a minor in Africana studies. Students with interest in foreign service in Africa and the Caribbean or students who intend to acquire graduate training with specialization on Africa or the Caribbean will be well-prepared in the department. The concentration in community involvement studies prepares students to work in community-oriented, community-based agencies or in local government. The track in education enables students with career interest in elementary-and secondary-level teaching to prepare for Maryland Teacher Certification in social studies through the UMBC Department of Education.
Major Program
Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Africana Studies consist of 36 credits for the standard major and 30 credits for the double major. A grade of "C" or better is required for all courses in the major. Courses intended to count toward the fulfillment of the major may not be taken on the P/F option.
I. Standard Major
In addition to the normal general education requirements, all majors
are required to complete 36 credit hours of study distributed as
A. Core Requirements (15 credits)
- AFST 100 Introduction to the Black Experience
- AFST 201 Introduction to Methodology and Research in AFST Studies
- AFST 211 Introduction to Contemporary Africa
- AFST 261 Black Literature: 20th Century
- AFST 271 Introduction to Community Involvement
B. Additional Requirements (15 credits)
Choose from among the remaining 300- to 400-level courses, of which at
least six credits must be from both of the following two categories:
- African history and politics;
- African-American culture and experience;
C. Individual study and directed research for a senior paper or project (6 credits)
II. Major With Concentration in Community Involvement StudiesIn addition to the normal general education requirements, this AFST option requires the following:
A. Core Requirements (15 credits)
- AFST 100 Introduction to the Black Experience
- AFST 201 Introduction to Methodology and Research in AFST Studies
- AFST 211 Introduction to Contemporary Africa
- AFST 261 Black Literature: 20th Century
- AFST 271 Introduction to Community Involvement
B. Additional Requirements (15 credits)
AFST 301, 377, 378 and six credits selected from the following:
AFST 272-299, 350, 371-375, 381-399 and 471-489.
Twelve of the 15 credits must be at the 300-400 level.
C. AFST 490 Community Internship Project; (6 credits)
III. Double Major
The foundation core requirements are the same as for the standard
major. In addition, nine upper-level credits must be completed. Those
who choose the double major must complete six credits of individual
study and directed research for a senior paper or community internship
Students who opt for the double major must meet requirements for the
double major requirements in the second department of their choice.
They should make selections of courses in both departments in close
consultation with their advisors in both departments.
MINOR PROGRAMTo earn a minor in Africana studies, a student must complete 18 credits in Africana studies. The courses selected to fulfill the requirements of the minor must include nine credits of introductory-level courses. The other nine credits will be earned in upper-level courses of the student's interest and selection. A minimum grade of "C" must be earned in each course counting toward the minor.
A. Core Requirements (9 credits)
- AFST 100 Introduction to the Black Experience
- AFST 206 African-American History: A Survey
- AFST 211 Introduction to Contemporary Africa
B. Additional Requirement (9 credits)
Nine credits of upper level AFST courses
Transfers and Other Majors in the Upper Division
If a student successfully has completed 60 or more credit hours at the time of declaring the major, the core requirements in Africana studies may be substituted with equivalent courses completed elsewhere, subject to approval by the student's AFST advisor and the department's chairperson.
Interdisciplinary Studies Major
In addition to the major options in Africana studies, a student may choose to complete the major through the Interdisciplinary Studies Program. Full descriptions of the options offered by the INDS major can be found in the catalog under Interdisciplinary Studies.
Generally, students learn comparatively little about the black experience in elementary and secondary schools. Through Africana studies, they find the opportunity to benefit from courses offering broad perspectives on the history and culture of black peoples. For students planning careers in public service (including education, health-related professions, environmental management, law and social services), an exposure to the values and dynamics of black society and culture is indispensable. In addition to AFST 100, other lower-level courses in Africana studies are highly recommended to all students for the purpose of fulfilling the general foundation requirements. Through mutual cooperation, many of the courses in Africana studies are cross-listed with other departments in the humanities and social sciences, thus offering students several electives for completing their graduation requirements.
Honors Program
Qualified students may enroll in the department's honors program. This is an intensive program of seminars, workshops, research and independent study. It emphasizes the development of critical thinking and leadership skills. Information and application forms are available in the department office.

Hi: 12° Lo:9°
By Jamie Arrowsmith Wednesday 30 January 2013 Updated: 06/02 18:47
Rugby Town 4 Ashford Town 0
Southern League Central Division
A RUGBY side brimming with confidence stretched their unbeaten run to 12 matches with another comfortable Butlin Road victory on Tuesday night.
Two goals in each half secured the latest success and without a number of inspired saves from visiting keeper Paul McCarthy, the margin of success would have been even greater.
There were no signs that a lay-off of 17 days had affected Dave Stringer's men, and the hosts were soon ahead when David Kolodynski finished off strike partner's Seb Lake-Gaskin neat through ball with a perfectly executed lob over the oncoming keeper.
Ellis Myles shot wide of the target and Lake-Gaskin almost released Kolodynski again as Rugby pressed, before the visitors had their only chance of the first half when Dave Bevan had to be alert to push away Ed Thomas' corner which whipped in at him in the blustery conditions.
McCarthy was out well to block Kolodynski's effort after Sam Youngs had picked out his run and the keeper was soon back in action, turning Lake-Gaskin's low effort round the post for a corner.
From the resulting Craig Kelly delivery, Rugby made it two thanks to Alex Gudger's well-timed header - a third strike in just three games for the central defender.
Bevan made a good low save from Jim Mann after the restart and Gudger did well to cut-out Joe Bennett's dangerous looking cross, although generally it was Valley in the ascendancy with their neat passing football.
The save of the game saw McCarthy show great reflexes to parry away a close-range strike from Lake-Gaskin, and then with Lewis McBride through on goal, he was equal to the winger's low effort.
After a melee on the edge of the Ashford penalty box, the visitors were reduced to ten men with the dismissal of Chris Robinson for a second yellow card - with Lake-Gaskin also booked for his involvement in the incident, which held up the game for a number of minutes.
Being a man light signalled an end to the Middlesex side's resistance, and McCarthy pulled out another top draw save from Kolodynski - with substitute Nic Evangelinos twice seeing his rebound efforts blocked on the line by a defender.
Evangelinos was denied again with three minutes left, this time by McCarthy, but fellow sub Richard Blythe was on-hand to follow-up and score at the second attempt.
Valley's fourth came in injury time after Bairoh Conteh had taken out Sam Belcher in the box, the midfielder picked himself up to send a powerfully struck penalty into the back of the net.

Being a taxi cab driver can be dangerous work even outside of the big city settings. Thankfully, most drivers are smart enough to carry some type of protection in case of trouble.
I came across a story of a taxi driver that had to do just that, use non-lethal force in the form of pepper spray to protect himself from a allegedly drunken and unruly passenger. Check out the story below.
The cab driver told police that he gave Osborne a ride to a few local businesses Monday afternoon, and then took him back to Osborne's home on Turkey Creek Ridge Road in York.
Osborne tried to use his debit card to pay but it was declined, the report states. The taxi driver told police his passenger then refused to pay and "became unruly when asked to get out of the taxicab," according to the report….More at Police: Rock Hill taxi driver subdues drunk passenger with pepper spray – The Herald | HeraldOnline.com
Alcohol, $35. New shoes, $80. Pepper sprayed and arrested after a night of drunken stupidity…..priceless! LOL. 34 years old and still acting the fool. Guarantee he was sitting in his cell saying why didn't I just pay the guy and sleep it off at home. It just shows that man or woman, it doesn't hurt to carry a pepper spray or some other type of self defense weapon, just in case.

Some college students get a taste of what it is like to get pepper sprayed. I can tell you from personal experience it isn't fun at all. Your eyes want to clamp shut so bad it is unbelievable. It hurts for sure and although there are some rare individuals that eat so much hot stuff they can withstand the spray but I have yet to meet one.

Hi! I dislocated my
while playing volleyball. I reduced it myself and at first didn't give it much attention since it was just a finger. I didn't consult a doctor nor took any X rays. 2 weeks after the accident i could almost completely bend my finger. So i thought it was about time to try to push it more, so i bent it several times all the way, sometimes with help from my other hand.

Numbness in tips of thumb,
, and sort of middle
. Ibuprofen and Naprosyn didn't touch the pain. Neither hot nor cold helped. Went to the MD and the xrays show the disk spaces are ok. The MD diagnosed it as cervical myalgia and prescribed Ultram for the pain and made a referral to physical therapy. The thinking is it will resolve on its own, but PT would help "move it along.

When i was 11 a girl broke my right
at school and no one believed me when I said it was broken. So obviously it wasn't splinted or even buddy tapped. In the eight grade my mom took me to a doctor that told her that my finger did break and that the bone healed eight degrees off. After six months of trying to buddy tape it and splint it, the bone only moved two degrees. The doctor recommended surgery to pin and straighten out the bone and my mom decided on getting me the surgery.

I'm old. I am
a doctor. I broke a
when I was young. I taped it to the next
. It healed crooked. Although I am used to it and there is no pain, it affects some things that I really like to do, like playing guitar. Doctors are overly cautious now because of petty lawsuits. (I'm suing you because you didn't take care of my broken pinky and it healed wrong.) If you want it to heal correctly, do what your doctor says. End of sermon.

It started with my
having spasms, and then moved to in between my middle
and pointer finger knuckle. It now is deblilitating my pinkie and ring finger and causing some minor pain in the outside part of my wrist. With my hand straight out I cannot I cannot put my pinkie or ring finger together and I cannot get my ring finger together with my middle finger. Any thoughts? I have attached a pic of how close I can get my fingers together. I am 32 and relatively healthy.

I have been experiencing numbness and tingling in my little
and ring
on my right hand and some numbness on the side of my hand. It is beginning to interfere with my normal activities. I went to my general practitioner who sent me for a nerve conduction test. The physiatrist who conducted the test told me I had carpal tunnel syndrome. However, everything I have researched on the internet suggests I have ulnar nerve entrapment or possibly a cyst in the Guyon canal.

Now his
is bent, but works fine. But however he plays instruments and he's
able to put his finger out straight. Would a skin graft have to be done? Will doctors cut the skin and replace it with another piece?

Walking across an intersection I got hit by a car that was making a right hand turn. I remember that I could
figure out how I went from walking in a straight line to suddenly being face down in the street. Now comes the funny stuff, you have to realize that I have suffered enormous amounts of pain in my life. I have cut my index finger on one the halves of my femur that was sticking out the side of my leg. Worst cut I ever felt,pretty painful.

Hi, I have recently noticed that the upper tips of my
and second
are turned or bent toward my other fingers (away from my thumb). This is on both hands but the right is more noticable. The drift seems to start at the joint closest to the nail. The only thing I have been able to find on this is Ulnar drift which appears to start at the base of the finger. My fingers are straight up to the last joint. I have no pain or loss of use in any of my fingers or hands.

your heart sits directly center across from your nipple line a just very slightly to the left so if the pain that you feel is further over it may very well be something that is muscular related and that could also include the shortness of breath if you have a pull or a strain. I always do the touch test and if i place my
between the ribs where the pain is and its an owww moment i know its not heart related.

When scalene muscle is the cause of pain, the pain is referred to chest, inner lining of scapula (shoulder bone), shoulder, posterior and lateral sides of the arm right up to the thumb and
. Pancreatitis is another possibility. Adhesions in the abdomen following surgeries could be the other cause. Do discuss these possibilities with your treating doctor. Take care!

Hi, so I know I am really late but back in high school, I broke my
during a gymnastics incident and I had to get surgery and had a few pins placed in my finger for a couple months. My surgeon did a terrible job and my results were not that great... As of now...6 years later... my finger barely bends from the middle joint and just stays in about a 20 degree bent position and cannot go back to its straight position without any assisted help.

Position the patient with the arm extended to form a
-line from shoulder to wrist. 6. Do
attempt a venipuncture more than twice. Notify your supervisor or patient's physician if unsuccessful. 7. Select the appropriate vein for venipuncture. The larger median cubital, basilic and cephalic veins are most frequently used, but other may be necessary and will become more prominent if the patient closes his fist tightly.

I had a very stiff neck and shoulders for several weeks. That's better now, but yesterday--and only yesterday--my
would occasionally and suddenly start to ache intensely...the only thing I can think to compare it to would be arthritis, although I don't really know what that feels like; but it felt like it was all along the bone. And it would become really intense and then just go away after a while. Same thing in my left knee--both worse at bedtime.

Hi, 3 days ago I had a terrible pain in the middle of my chest, followed a couple of minutes later by a severe pain under my left shoulder blade, then a few minutes later followed by tingling in my left pinky & ring finger. Went straight to my doctor here in a rural town. Blood pressure was 160 / 100 & they did a EKG. The EKG was good, Chest XRay was normal.

His Grace Responds to the ASA
You will recall that a call was sent out across the land for inspiration for His Grace to respond to a rather specious complaint from the ASA. You will be happy to learn that His Grace has responded to the ASA in a quite magnificient manner.
His Grace thanks you for your email of 10th May, and for the attached bundle of pdfs and sundry other documents. Over the years he has endured some appalling persecution and had the most unpleasant encounters with smouldering faggots, so he begs your indulgence, compassion and understanding as you conduct your inquiry into the allegation that he is publishing/distributing images which some may find 'offensive' and/or 'homophobic'.You asked him to keep the correspondence confidential, and he has done so. However, since he is constrained by no law from communicating with his advisers and legal counsellors, and there being no statutory upper limit on the number of those advisers and legal counsellors, he thought it appropriate to consult with his communicants (that is, his ecclesial blog community) because the Lord has been gracious to surround him with manifest and beneficial wisdom in abundance (along with a few nut-jobs). Some elements of your correspondence may therefore have been spread abroad (if not around the globe), which is regrettable but unavoidable.

Who's more qualified than Archbishop Cranmer to comment on persecution and "unpleasant encounters with smouldering faggots"?
After securing all beverages, and after being certain that there won't be a laughter-induced episode of stress incontinence, hie thee to the blog to read the entire answer. It just gets better and better.
Well, His Grace has got the attention of the ASA, as per their response at: http://www.asa.org.uk/Media-Centre/2012/ASA-statement-on-Coalition-for-Marriage-ads.aspx
The ASA's decision to investigate complaints about a series of ads by the Coalition for Marriage that are appearing in the press and online has prompted some comment in the media, the blogosphere and in other social media. We would like to clarify that the fact that we are investigating the complaints does not mean we will necessarily 'uphold' them, leading to the ad being banned.
And now His Grace is skewering the ASA response:
