I severed the tendon in my thumb yesterday. They sutured the wound in the ER but I need to see a hand surgeon tomorrow to re-open the wound, reconnect the tendon, and close the wound. I knew almost immediately that the tendon was severed because I cannot bend back the tip of my thumb.
Has anyone done this? I'm curious about the extent of the surgery and what I will (and will not) be able to do in the coming weeks. |

Talk to the surgeon, not us! |
I will, today...... I was just curious if this happened to anyone else here and what their experience was. At this point, I should know in a matter of hours. |

I think the experience is different for everyone, but I severed the reflexor tendons in my right hand to all 4 fingers 28 years ago. A hand surgeon was called in to reattach them that evening. My hand was immobilized in a cast and splint for 6 weeks. When it came off, I was very tenacious with physical therapy, as I am right-handed. The surgeon told me at my final visit that he was honestly not certain that I would regain full use of that hand and was pleased that I had. The best advice I could offer is follow all instructions and don't let up on the exercises, when the time comes. |

How's it going Jenn? Like with everything, I'm sure the post surgical physical therapy is extremely important. I hope things are going well for you. |
Virginia -- ouch!! I'm glad you regained full use of your hand.... that sounds like a horrible injury. Catherine, thanks for asking. I had surgery to repair the tendon last week. I'm wearing a splint which will be replaced with a cast next week, and I'll wear that for 3 weeks. I still can't believe I required an actual surgery in an operating room, IVs, the works, for a small cut! I will ask him about physical therapy when I see him next week. I'm laughing at the thought of having to do thumb exercises for weeks... but I certainly will do whatever I'm asked to do. :-) Jen |

Glad to hear you're on the mend Jen. When I worked in the ER, they used to sew them back together there.......but when I would see them later, they appeared to not have full extension of their finger........so maybe you're going the better route! Yes, picturing one's self doing thumb exercises does make one chuckle! :) Good luck to you. |
Catherine, yes, I think it does require the expertise of a hand surgeon. I can already extend the tip now... something I could not do last week no matter how hard I tried. :-) Thanks, |
It turns out the cut was deeper than I thought. The surgeon discovered, during the surgery, that I also went through the joint capsule and into the joint. I was stunned when I heard that. Can anyone explain the joint capsule? Is it formed by the ligaments that join the bones at the joint? I'm a little horrified over the damage done by what felt like just a brush against the skin the moment it happened... Jen |

I severed my fifth tendon (pinky) about six months ago, along with damage to my ulnar nerve. I went to the hospital and they stitched up my hand and sent me home with a referall to a hand surgeon. About two weeks later I had surgery at the Indiana Hand Center. My tendon was reconnected and ulnar nerve repaired. I had a wrap on my hand up to my elbow for a few weeks until I had my post-surgery checkup. My hand had been wrapped with the fingers out and this was the first time they had been stretched. The nurse started to curl them in and make my hand into a fist, there is some pain with that. My hand was extremely stiff not to mention my pinky. From there on I wore a brace for my hand and do hand exercises everyday. The first day I could not move and single finger myself, by about two weeks I had pretty much all movement. This physical therapy won't be fun but it's important to do all the exercises they give you. My hand is fine these days but there are a few things that probably won't change. Parts of my hand, paticularly the wounds, tingle and don't have much touch sensation. I suspect that was because of my nerve damage though. My pinky feels a slight bit more stiff then my other fingers. I have regained 100% strength in this hand though. I'm not sure what your hand will look like afterwards, I cannot tell because my wounds were done by glass, so the cuts are much more wide. At the hospital when they pulled back the cut to clean the inside I was able to see the bones and cut tendon it was quite a sight. |
Jenn, did the same thing. Had surgery in September. Severed 2 tendons and a nerve in my left thumb. Am in PT now, but having trouble getting movement back. Doc said more surgery may be necessary, so I am working extra hard in PT to avoid more cutting. Good luck to u |

I severed my Flexor Tendon, and all the nerves above my IP Joint in my left thumb on 11-25-07 on my table saw. A surgeon from The Indiana Hand Center met me at the hospital that same day to repair the damage that I inflicted upon myself. With-in a month I had a 'sensation' to touch in my thumb above my IP Joint. I continued my PT (Physcal Therapy), but was informed that surgery (Arthrofibrosis) would be required to remove scar tissue and to relieve my capillaries in order to get the motion back in my IP Joint. This surgery was performed on 4-4-08. On 4-11-08 while doing my PT I felt something snap. I underwent a 3rd surgery on 4-18-08. What had happened was that my Flexor Tendon ruptured at the point that it attached to my bone in my thumb. I now have my Flexor Tendon sewed back on and 2 wires running through the Flexor Tendon and out through the bone then the thumb nail with a button to keep them from pulling back into my thumb. I have complete faith of getting at least 60% usage of my thumb back. After being without it for the past 5 1/2 months, that sounds wonderful. I've done extensive research on this on the internet, and everything tells me the same basic information. Stick to your therapy appointments, and do all your therapy as instructed if you expect a good recovery. I hope yours doesn't go the way mine has, but I still have faith in my recovery. I'll keep you in my prayers |

I did exactly this three weeks ago, had the surgeon repair the tendon its called EPL extendor tendon or something similar, I severed it using a saw and made quite a mess of the top of my thumb, now its healing and swollen its so tight I have some movement of the last didget but yeah if you read this knowing it was a few years ago you did yours...how has it healed, |
Chris, sorry about your accident! I can't believe it's been more than 4 years since mine, and my thumb has healed well. It will never be 100% but it's is close enough. I also cut halfway through the joint capsule (which holds together the bones of the thumb joint). When I do any heavy work that requires the strength and leverage of the thumb, I feel an ache deep in the joint and a slight weakness, and the joint is slightly stiff; however, overall I'm happy with the results. I can almost fully extend the tip of my thumb which was not possible before surgery. I hope all of you have healed well and have a new respect for those sharp objects! :) |

i severed my thumb tendon 6 weeks ago so im now exercising my thumb back to use but lately ive been getting minor aches to my upperarm muscle area,could this be due to the fact that my arm hasnt been very active lately? |

Hi jenn happy i found your post and everything healed makes me feel better so I severed my extender tendon in my left thumb on friday jun 3 and was wondering about how long everyone else had a cast for. I got surgery the same day and have a wire in my thumb now and it's wrapped up till I get a cast. |

My 1837 colonial underwent extensive changes in the mid- and late 1800s. The original two story brick georgian had four rooms downstairs and four rooms up, as far as I can tell. There were three or four chimneys: One at each gable end with FPs up and downstairs, one at the rear to the right of center (facing the house from outside)for the kitchen and bedroom above, and there are the remains of a hearth on the right side wall also right of center, but the chimney may have been removed when an addition was put on in that area. This would have served the right-rear room and the room above, now part of the master bath.
The second owner added three one-story wings on the sides and rear, knocking out large sections of the original exterior walls to combine old and new spaces, rather than just putting doorways between them. They also added two new chimneys for coal FPs to heat the newly created larger rooms. The interior stairway was also relocated, I believe. There are the remains of a tiny hall between the front and rear rooms near the right hand exterior wall that looks like it might have been the base of a narrow stairway to the second floor. The suspected original stair space is under the current stairs, but facing the opposite direction, and has been blocked off to create a small wet bar area. The house looks like it may have had a door in the center front that is now a window, and the two front rooms have been combined into one large room that runs the length of the house. I suspect there might have been a center hall in this area based on some seams in the wood floor. A few years back we looked at a couple of antique center hall colonials that had this sort of narrow stairway sandwiched between front parlor and rear room. I remember seeing a floorplan that had this arrangement in a library book many years ago, but haven't been able to find it again. Does anyone have a plan for a modest two story colonial that essentially has four rooms over four rooms with chimneys at each gable end and a stairway between a front and rear room? I'm trying to figure out what the original house would have been like. thanks Jo |

1837 is in late Federal period, or the early Greek Revival style. Here is a dandy period floor plan of a Federal w/side stair. Casey |
Here is a link that might be useful: floor plan
Sorry to take so long to respond. That's a really nice floorplan. Much fancier than mine, though. I've looked at a lot of the HABS in the past, if I'm not mistaken they also have a lot of garden plans recorded. It's been a while since I've been on their website. My old house was a much simpler plan than this one. |

Other Pets at Hammonds Homeward Bound Hounds - Allentown
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Angel, a Allentown Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Allentown, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Allentown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Allentown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Allentown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Allentown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Breakfast Topic: u want 2 b our healr? {WoW}
Jun 1st 2006 6:30PM The closer my main got to 60, the more I got random whispers asking me to run people through instances. They usually get shot down.
My GM and I have been known to run people through Stockades. We send out a LFG indicating that we have x number of spaces in a group with two 60s and the first to respond politely using complete sentences will be allowed to join. You'd be amazed at some of the whispers we get.
By the way, this also turns out to be quite an effective guild recruitment tool.
Breakfast Topic: Skimpy armour {WoW}
Mar 2nd 2006 5:37PM This is a point of constant humor and occasional disgust with my guild. The black mageweave ensemble holds a special place in our hearts and makes one of our priests thankful for the tabard.
Our GM actually bought a full set of mageweave just for fun and proceeded to dance outside the Inn in Stormwind.
Mageweave on a gnome is almost as good as plate bikinis on a Tauren.
Breakfast Topic: Your worst PuG {WoW}
Feb 7th 2006 4:49PM Oh man, where do I start? There was the Stockades run where one member of the group pointed out to the other members who kept asking which way was out that "Out is where we go when everyone in the group is finished with their quests." Bless her. I ended up joining her guild.
Then there was the Deadmines run where we too succumbed to generosity and let a lower level mage join us. She would continually pull critters when the priest very clearly asked us to hold up a minute while they restored their mana.
She kept aggroing everything and...get this...tanking. About as well as a mage can tank, that is. As we had both a paladin and a warrior, we asked her to please stop, told her to please stop and then finally got nasty about it. We made it all the way to the ship in an awkward silence. She proceeded to aggro everything on the second deck, wiped the group, then bailed. As with a previous poster, we ended up finishing the instance in excellent form without her "help".
I avoid PUGs whenever possible. Luckily, I belong to a guild that has a great diversity of professions and helpful people who are willing to quest with their guildies. They also speak in complete sentences and use grammar and punctuation.
It's like I've died and gone to heaven.
Breakfast Topic: Girls get free stuff {WoW}
Feb 2nd 2006 5:58PM And in an odd bit of coincidence, when I logged in last night, someone randomly gave me 8 goblin somethingerother clams (food). They chased me down to give them to me.
I'm not sure if it was because I'm a girl, because I looked hungry or because they made the food, didn't want it to go to waste and I was the first person in their line of sight.
Breakfast Topic: Girls get free stuff {WoW}
Feb 1st 2006 5:39PM As one of only 7 actual females playing female characters on Uther, I've only been gifted an item once. I helped maintain a heal on a priest soloing an elite dragon and he gave me the plate that it dropped. I was just glad someone was exacting revenge on that which had, an hour earlier, turned me into a fine red mist.
Then again, I play a human paladin who doesn't exactly "work it". My husband plays a female night elf and he gets chatted up all the time. To my knowledge, he hasn't received any freebies. At least that I know of...
Discrimination and WoW {WoW}
Jan 19th 2006 12:35PM I am one of those who has a problem with gold farming, regardless of where they are from. While playing yesterday, I was spammed with whispered advertising from no less than 4 different gold farmers.
On the other side of the coin, I took a player to task uesterday on my server's main chat channel for telling someone to learn how to speak English.
Don't lump all WoW players into the same mold.

http://morrison.co.us There are many reasons that the Morrison Inn is a favorite stopover for Red Rocks concert-goers. There's the patio, which was renovated a few years ago and features dozens of tables open to the sky, plus a stage for live music. There are the hearty platters of Mexican fare that the kitchen dishes up. And then there are the margaritas, served in hefty 32-ounce mugs (a 16-ounce version is available for lightweights), in a variety of flavors. They're strong, they're popular, and they will undoubtedly be drawing future concert attendees to the Morrison Inn for years to come. More >>

Reviewed Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Jan 1, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I made this for our New Years Eve party using fresh spinach and marinated artichokes. It was such a big hit I had to make a second batch but I was out of cream cheese, so Instead I used cottage cheese. I was really surprised it was just as delicious but healthier. This will be a big staple in future party spreads. Thank you Alton. """

SHOP It used to be, the only reason shoppers went to Road Town was to buy overpriced spices from Sunny Caribbee. Now, a few entrepreneurs are working to transform this style wasteland. In the Old Customs House, interior decorator Jillian Dunlop runs Hucksters (113 Main St.; 248/494-7165), a well-edited housewares boutique. • Christina Washburn's Cantik Interiors (Inner Harbour Marina; 284/494-7927) also caters to the home. Best find: diaphanous shell-embedded curtains. • Eldred Williams and David Archer sell hand-glazed lanterns and bowls at Bamboushay (Nanny Cay Marina; 284/494-0393), a colorful wooden cottage just outside town. Under the watch of Tortola-born coppersmith Aragorn Dick-Read, Aragorn's Studio (Trellis Bay, Beef Island; 284/495-1849) has grown from an art gallery into a burgeoning collective, where crafts-people teach basket weaving and coconut carving; a fruit depot sells native produce (soursops, sugar apples); and a shop carries handmade herbal soaps and bags of briny Salt Island crystals.
SEE Local artists like reggae singer Quito Rhymer have painted the Wall, a stretch of concrete on the Ridge Road, which winds from Tortola's highest peak, Sage Mountain, to the East End. The murals depict farmers working the cane fields, women baking bread, and fishermen hauling in the day's catch—an alfresco island-history lesson.
DO Now that the full-moon parties at Bomba's Shack have come to resemble something out of Animal House, insiders head to the Fireball Full Moon Party (284/495-2447; www.windsurfing.vi), hosted by the Trellis Bay Cyber Café and Aragorn's Studio. Expect the BVI's own fungi-style music, stilt-walking Moko Jumbies, and fire jugglers. The bash kicks off at 7 p.m. with a West Indian barbecue and peaks at around 9 p.m., when giant steel sculptures are set ablaze on the ocean.
Jost Van Dyke
Two little sailor-friendly bars (Foxy's, Soggy Dollar) have given this tiny spit of an island an international reputation. Here, two more reasons to drop anchor.
EAT Local crooner Foxy Callwood teamed up with his daughter Justine to open Foxy's Taboo (Diamond Cay; 284/495-0218; lunch for two $30) in a dockside shack on the northeastern reaches of the island. Sailors dock here to refuel and sample uncomplicated dishes like a pepper-jack cheeseburger served with mango chutney.
DO After lunch, head to Jost Van Dyke's Bubbly Pool. Swimmers reach this natural whirlpool, formed when the surf breaks against rocky outcroppings, via a sage-dotted trail from Foxy's Taboo.
Peter Island
A 30-minute ferry ride from Tortola, Peter Island Resort (800/346-4451 or 284/495-2000; www.peterisland.com; doubles from $900, including meals) is the ultimate hideaway: a private, 1,800-acre, white sand-ringed retreat. The hotel has lost a bit of its luster in recent years, but is working to reinvent itself. To wit: two new hilltop villas (one 3,626 square feet and the other 6,500), with two more on the way. The price tag is steep ($4,000 and $12,000 a night), but perks include a personal staff and help customizing the pad before you arrive—from the resort's director. And then there's the sprawling new spa—its couples' suites can be rented by the day. The villas and the spa suites are so spectacular, in fact, that we couldn't help wondering why the original guest rooms aren't more inspired. But with access to five secluded beaches and one of the region's top restaurants, the honeymooners flocking here don't seem to mind one bit.


text: News LACROIX'S BOTTLE 14 April 2008 Vogue Christian Lacroix's Ice Queen Evian bottle INSPIRED by his red wedding dress design (as worn by Madonna), Christian Lacroix has created a special Evian Ice Queen bottle as part of the Design Icons series on show at Harrods this month. "It seems that Evian natural spring water has been there all my life, I remember the curly label of my childhood (were they arabesques, elaborate columns?) in the hotels by the lake where our family used to spend holidays," explains the designer. "It is therefore as an amused and rather proud old friend that I designed these 2007-2008 bottles. Draping one with the flowers of success, those that adorn the 'paseo' parade capes, like snowy crystal garlands or frost-frozen alpine flowers. Giving the other the silhouette of a princess, a goddess or a mythical creature, a sort of snow fairy in couture garb, crowned with flowers, bejewelled with crystals, "wearing" the familiar range of jagged peaks and ridges, like the flounces of a crinoline." One of only 99 bottles in the world, customers will be able to place bids in a silent auction in aid of Royal Marsden. There is a minimum reserve of £1000. Design Icons at Harrods runs from today until May 24. (April 14 2008, AM) Jessica Bumpus

Stanford Hostel
Stanford Hostel was an affordably priced hostel for visitors of all ages to the United States. It was located in Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio, which is one of the nation's most visited national parks. The park, located in the middle of Cleveland and Akron, was 33,000 acres long and home to the lovely Cuyahoga River. The park was a great location for a hostel, because it was close to many of the city's attraction but still far enough away to keep a charming, rustic feel alive. Rolling floodplain, beautiful valleys, ravines, and gorgeous greenery surrounded the area, making it perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Several hiking trails for backpackers of all ages wound through the park, stretching all the way to the fascinating Ohio and Erie Canals. In fact, the tracks were named among the "top ten family friendly trails" by the American Hiking Society.The hostel itself was located only about a quarter of a mile from Towpath Trail, close in proximity to two ski resorts: Boston Mills and Brandywine. It was also close to Dover Lake Water Park, a favorite attraction of young people, and Peninsula, a bustling town full of restaurants, nightlife, art, and shopping opportunities.

The Old-and-Improved Petzval Lens Gives Your Portraits a Swirly

The message is clear: A lot of people want a 173-year-old Petzval lens to use with their modern-day Canon and Nikon DSLRs.
The message is clear: A lot of people want a 173-year-old Petzval lens to use with their modern-day Canon and Nikon DSLRs.
A new type of film mimics the dreamlike effect produced by a discontinued Kodak infrared film stock. Called LomoChrome Purple, the new film is modeled after Kodak's classic Aerochrome, which transformed images into false-color fantasy worlds.
We're more than a little surprised that earlier this week, Lomography met their Kickstarter funding goal in one day for a gadget that allows you to use your cell phone as a negative scanner. Isn't film supposed to be dead?
At the party that is Instagram – and all the other filter-heavy, photo socials out there – it's time for the hipsters to rip off their filters and just let it all hang out. Because like clothes, filters allow us to hide our insecurities. And when we take them off, surviving and triumphing over the vulnerability can be exhilarating.

After announcing yesterday that he'd be going vegan for the month of December in an attempt to better his health, he was recently spotted spending some quality time with his leading little lady, Blue. The baby boss was spotted rocking a a pair of skinny-mini jeans, tiny floral Doc Martin boots and a custom leather jacket studded out with the words "Miss Blue Carter." How cute!

text: My name is Justin King also known as J.King, I was born in Gardena, California on September 29, 1992, but was raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana which I am still currently located. I am the son of Rosetta and Bobby King who were also inclined in music, and instilled it in me as well. I have a 3 year old son, Ja'marrick Travon King, that gives me the motivation I need, and without him I wouldn't be as dedicated and as serious about music as I am now. Rapping was always one of my strong points coming up, but I never took it serious enough to try and pursue it as my dream until the age of 17. It was always a hobby for me growing up and being around it all of the time seeing my older cousins in the studio, getting together and freestyling on different occasions, but I was always much younger. After graduation I started taking my music a little more serious, I was not interested in attending college, so I started building a foundation for my plan B. I enrolled in a trade school for Heavy Equipment operating which would still leave my schedule open for the time I need to focus on my music. After coming to the agreement that I would stick to my plan and try pursuing my music also, I ran into a group of guys who are known to you as "3ME" they opened my eyes to the business side of the market, how fun doing music can be, and still sculpting me into the artist that your growing to love.

When is the best time to divide daylilies?
Division is best done in the spring and early fall, at a time that will give the plants a few weeks to adjust before the weather becomes extremely hot or cold. For fall dividing, at least 6 weeks before the first frost date is a general rule. Those with severe winters (especially zones 3 & 4)are at greatest risk of losing plants over the winter, so spring is a better time to divide. In hot climates (for example zones 9 & 10) more plants are lost in the summer months due to heat stress, so dividing in the fall may be best.Entered by Gardengail

10 Years, Jamaica's Participation in the World Athletic Championships 1983 – 1993 -Jimmy Carnegie
Helsinki 1983
Jamaica made its entry into the first World Championships in 1983 in much the same way we entered our first Olympic Games in 1948.
Of course, we all recall that at the 1948 London Olympic Games the late Hon. Arthur Wint OJ, FRCS won Jamaica's sole gold medal in the 400m by equalling the 20 year old Olympic record of 46.2 seconds.
Well, at Helsinki in 1983, Bert Cameron won the men's 400m establishing a championship record of 45.05 in the process.
The similarity doesn't stop with the 400m. At both the London Games and the Helsinki Championships Jamaica won two other medals outside of the 400m gold.
At the London Games we got two silver medals. One from Wint in the 800m and the other from Herb in the 400m.
At the Helsinki Championships Merlene Ottey got a silver in the 200m (22.19) – her best individual competitive effort outdoors prior to the recent World Champs. And our girls got a set of bronze medals in the 4 X 100 relay. Earning these medals were fast starting Leleith Hodges, strong Jackie Pusey, Juliet Cuthbert (not yet 19 and not long out of Morant Bay High) and, of course, Merlene Ottey.
The similarity continues. At the London Games we had two other individuals in the sprint finals. Les Laing and Herb McKenley had placed sixth and fourth respectively in the 200m.
At the Helsinki Championships, Merlene narrowly missed a bronze in the 100m while Grace Jackson came fifth in the 200m.
At the London Games we had reached the men's 4 X 400m final but a pulled muscle sustained by Wint robbed us of a chance at a medal, At the Helsinki Championships we also reached the final of a men's relay – this time the 4 X 100. And again the medals eluded us after a 38.75 seventh place from George Walcott, Leroy Reid, Ray Stewart and Everald Samuels.
The Helsinki Championships had, of course, its own unique happenings. For example, while it had taken 32 years for a woman to win an Olympic medal, Merlene made sure history would not repeat itself at the World Championships by winning not one but two medals at Helsinki.
Further, it was at the first World Championships that Jamaicans of either gender won medals in a sprint relay.
And we can hardly forget that 18-year old school boy Raymond Stewart narrowly missed the final of the 100m after a brilliant 10.22 in the wind.
Rome 1987
World Championships number two was held at Rome, Italy in 1987. There was no gold medal on this occasion but our tally of medals increased from three to four (By the way, there is some ambiguity about the colour of one of these medals as we will explain later).
Merlene Ottey was again the top individual performer, going down one in the 200m and coming up one in the 100m to take the bronze in both. She finished behind Silke Gladisch of East Germany – the gold medallist in both, and behind Heike Dreschler of East Germany in the 100 and one Florence Griffiths-Joyner of the USA in the 200.
Raymond Stewart may have done better than Merlene. He initially won the bronze behind Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis – with Johnson's time then regarded as a world record of 9.83. He also won a sprint relay bronze in 38.41 anchoring a team of John Mair, Andrew Smith and Clive Wright (Reserve Gregory Meghoo also got a medal for running in the preliminaries).
Ben Johnson was, of course, subsequently stripped of his world record after he was disgraced in Seoul. There have been contradictory reports about whether or not Johnson has been stripped of his world title. If he has, then Stewart would have to be considered the silver medallist. This matter should be clarified once and for all.
Jamaica's four medals in Rome placed us in the top eight countries by medal totals – a feat which we sustained at the World Champs in Tokyo 1991 and the Olympic Games in Barcelona 1992.
In Rome we also had two non-medal finalist positions as both 4 X 400 relay teams placed sixth.
Running for the ladies were Cathy Rattray-Williams. Ilrey Olivier, Sandra Farmer (in her last representation for Jamaica) and Sandie Richards in a time of 3.27.51.
Our male team was in contention for a bronze medal up to the first change between Mark Senior and Devon Morris when something went wrong and we dropped three places. Completing the team were 1983 world champion Bert Cameron (who got eliminated in the semis of the 400m in a time of 45.19) and Winthrop Graham.
Our time in the final, 3.04.53.1 after running a good 3.01.08 in the semis, indicates just what we might have been able to do.
Tokyo, 1991
World Championships number three was held at Tokyo, Japan in 1991.
At Tokyo, Jamaica had its second most successful performance ever at the world level track and fields athletics – the most successful, of course, being the Fifteenth Olympiad at Helsinki, Finland in 1952.
At Tokyo, for the second time at the world level, we won five medals.
Gold came from Dahlia Duhaney, Juliet Cuthbert, Beverly McDonald and Merlene Ottey in the women's 4 X 100m.
Silver came from Winthrop Graham – the first ever medal at the world level in any event outside of the three sprints and the relays.
Merlene Ottey repeated what she had done four years earlier at Rome with bronze medals in the 100m and 200m.
Finally, a set of bronze medals were won by Patrick O'Connor, Devon Morris, Seymour Fagan and Winthrop Graham in the 4 X 400m.
Howard Burnett also got a bronze for running in the heat for Graham and 17-year old school girl Merlene Frazier won a gold, running for Ottey in the heat. Frazier thus became the most successful Caribbean sports personality ever of her age since Vilfredo Benitez of Puerto Rico won his first professional world boxing title at that age in the 1970's.
Winthrop Graham also became the most successful male double medallist at the world level since Donald Quarrie at Montreal in 1976. If Stewart, however, has in fact been elevated for his Rome feat they would be in the same category (Graham, however, winning medals in a hurdles and a relay event).
Stewart was also one of the additional finalists at Tokyo in what is probably the most significant non-medal winning performance ever in the history of our sport. He finished sixth in the greatest men's 100m race ever run by a Central American and thus also Jamaican and Caribbean – in a record time of 9.96.
He had led the race in fact at 50 metres and was still equal first at 60. In this race not only did Carl Lewis set a new world record of 9.86 but Leroy Burrell in second beat his own previous world mark by one 200th of a second. Dennis Mitchell in third at 9.91 had been in force up to June (this race was in August). Linford Christie (who was to go on to win the Olympic title in 1992) did not get a medal in fourth although his British national record of 9.92 equalled the world record at the beginning of the year. Frank Fredericks of Namibia, who was to go on to win the silvers in the 200 at both Tokyo and Barcelona, set an African and national record of 9.95 in fifth.
Our only other men's final placing was in the 4 X 100 relaywhere Stewart, Dennis Mowatt in his first major international outing, John Mair and Michael Green finished sixth. Wayne Watson had run in the heat instead of Mowatt. O'Connor missed the final of the 400 by just a 100th of a second.
For the women, Juliet Cuthbert was the only other finalist finishing sixth in the 100 after running well throughout the Championships. Michelle Freeman finished a very creditable fifth in one semi-final of the women's 100m hurdles.
It is noteworthy that our women's 4 X 400m team would almost certainly have made the final but was not sent due to the lack of funds.

Broker pleads guilty to tax fraud
Posted onFlorida yacht broker Robert Moran pleaded guilty Tuesday to filing a false tax return to conceal more than $3 million in a Swiss bank account.
Moran, of Lighthouse Point, Fla., failed to note he had UBS accounts on his latest tax filing and failed to report the interest earned on the accounts, according to a report at Law.com. The yacht dealer had access to a shell corporation in Panama, purchased and sold securities through UBS, and converted U.S. dollars to euros, according to the report.
He faces up to three years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000, according to the report. His bond was set at $6 million, and sentencing is scheduled for June 26.
Moran was charged as part of a wide-ranging crackdown targeting U.S. account holders with an estimated $17 billion in hidden assets, Law.com reports. He was the second UBS client to be charged.
Yacht industry accountant Steven Michael Rubinstein of Boca Raton, Fla., was charged April 2 with filing a false tax return for failing to report income and assets totaling $6 million in other UBS accounts.

Namco Bandai dropped a solid Dreamcast port of the original Soul Calibur at the end of November, and aside from its lack of multiplayer, it was as much fun as nostalgic fans would expect from a fighting game on a 5-inch touchscreen. Now the company is back with another release, and while it may not be - screw it, no intro for this game. Here are some screenshots of Hello Kitty Tap and Run.
The HTC Butterfly S is not too unlike the HTC One, just with a larger screen, a slightly more powerful processor, and a micro SD card slot. With its 3200mAh battery, this is a beefier phone for people with perhaps more demanding needs than HTC's flagship phone can satisfy. It still has 2GB of RAM, the same UltraPixel camera, Beats Audio sound, and the latest version of Sense. The catch?

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Boikhutso, Rantsae Abner URN etd-03162005-143810 Document Title Qualitative analysis of the perceptions of affirmative action beneficiaries in South African parastatals Degree MAdmin (Labour Relations) Department Human Resource Management Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Mrs R Huyser Committee Chair Keywords
- affirmative action beneficiaries
- South African parastatals
Date 2004-09-10 Availability unrestricted Abstract Affirmative action is a sensitive and controversial topic evoking a host of emotional reactions regarding tokenism, window dressing, reverse discrimination, lowering of standards, empowerment, disregard for meritocracy and many others.It has been a discussion area in countless number of seminars, symposia and conferences held within our borders. Masters and Doctoral thesis and dissertations have as well researched the topic to provide clarity, understanding and new insight into the notion of affirmative action; but most researchers examined the views of management on affirmative action neglecting opinions and views of the very beneficiaries of affirmative action programme – blacks, women and the disabled.
The primary objective of this research exercise is therefore to analyse beneficiaries' perceptions of affirmative action in Company XXX – that is how they feel about affirmative action and how their feelings may have an effect on the success or failure of affirmative action. This research is of a qualitative nature and enquires into the historical and present context of affirmative action in Company XXX; lessons learned from other countries; assumptions about affirmative action and beneficiaries perceptions of affirmative action programmes in which they are engaged and their ideas of changes and improvements to the programme. Research method used consists of in-depth interviews with a sample of nine beneficiaries from Company XXX using employment equity criteria. Policy documents and reports on affirmative action in Company XXX were scrutinized.Research findings reveal the following amongst others:
Research results indicate that beneficiaries feel that affirmative action is good for the organization and economy if implemented correctly and if the necessary support training is provided to them to help them meet and exceed their employers' expectations. Although they agree that productivity may sometimes be lowered to an extent on their appointment, they feel that it is not an exception. It is common knowledge that a new appointee cannot be as productive as a person who has been in the same positions and received rigorous training as well for a long time. Given reasonable time and the necessary support, the short-term costs of appointing affirmative action beneficiaries will be far outweighed by the long-term benefits.
- That affirmative action programmes generally fail to provide black managers/beneficiaries with a sense of purpose or belonging in their organization
- That the programmes fail to address problems of racism and resistance to change in the organization
- That the aims of affirmative action are rarely made explicit
- That beneficiaries are not given adequate authority and responsibility
- That beneficiaries are more confident about their abilities
- That buildings are not sufficiently accommodative of disabled beneficiaries who are wheelchair bound
- That the environment does not give adequate support to beneficiaries to help them succeed

I bought a double t12 bulb lamp and i could only afford one bulb at the time so i was wondering if the lamp will completely work with 1 bulb. When i connected the single bulb in one socket it seemed very dim and when i connected it to the other socket it glowed orange at the ends. It needs a 20 watt bulb but im sure its supposed to be bright enough. Does it need the other bulb to work properly? plz help |

Some light fixtures require all bulbs to be good and installed to work properly, evidently yours is one of them. |

Each bulb is supposed to be 20W at 720 lumens is this enough for growing my seedlings. Also i bought GE Plant bulbs so i dont know if it is supposed to be less bright than normal? |

h1vc Posts: 295"H3 ''is not an approved product program,'' and there's no deadline for a decision, says Hummer spokeswoman Heather Hall."
"Mike DiGiovanni, the head of GM's Hummer division, told Reuters in an interview that the H3 has not yet been fully approved. "If all things remain equal, we don't have some negative economic downturn, I think John's comments are accurate; it will fall shortly after the SUT (H2 sport utility truck). It's proceeding very well."
John's comment:
"GM CFO and Vice Chairman John Devine confirmed during a Prudential Securities conference in New York that GM will build the Hummer H3"
The PM sketch is the first sketch and IMO the ugliest, but it looks like the removable fender flares will make it to production.
More sketches at www.hummer3.net/index2.html
I REALLY like MTs sketches, hopefully the production H3 will be very similiar to them. -

odie6l Hershey, PaPosts: 1,082if you look at the spyshot that was posted, it does kinda look like it has a p/u truck cap on the back to hide the fact that it might be a cross-over SUT like the Avalanche and Escalade. So in fact the Sketch from PM might be closer than we really think.

h1vc Posts: 295From automobile mag, not online yet. I hope the bigger message is good news for the H1!
GM expects to show a concept version of the H3 (the most likely name for the next Hummer model) at November's SEMA show. Company officials describe the concept as a near-production prototype. According to suppliers, the H3 will be based on the new mid-size-truck platform underpinning the new 2004 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks.
GM suppliers say the new mid-size SUV will come out in fall 2004 as a 2005 model. The initial version of the H3 will be a four-door SUV, although an H3 SUT is also rumored. Spy pics of early H3 prototypes show short overhangs, a tailgate-mounted spare, and of course, that imposing, seven-slot grille that so irks Jeep product planners and litigators.
The H3 will likely cost $30-$35k. "The price ladder at Hummer will go down," confirms a senior GM official, who adds that whatever product follows the H3 could be even less expensive. Such a vehicle could be called the H4 and be similar in size and mission to the Wrangler.
That same GM official says that the SEMA show will witness a "bigger message" than just a concept idea for the H3. The news has nothing to do with the H4, but with the future of the H1 and the H2. -
tbcreative Posts: 357I'm sure that "new message" will be the updated/mild redesign of the H1. I'm willing to bet that this drawing of the red Hummer that's been circulating and is at http://www.hummer3.net/concept2.jpg is the next generation H1, and not at all the H3.
I can't wait until November to see what's in store for the H3!
Also, GM insiders have said that the next Hummer after the H3, will not be called the H4, but rather the HX. The HX will be a 2-door variant to finally give GM something to compete with the Wrangler. Personally, I think the Blazer ZR-2 was/is a great alternative to the Wrangler, but they have 2 different style appeals. I'm sure the HX will appeal more to the Jeep Wrangler crowd. -
tbcreative Posts: 357Have you seen the latest Truck Trend?! Not only do they have the spy pics that we've all seen, but 2 artists' renderings of what he has interpreted from the spy shots, and styling cues from the H2! He left out a few little things that are on the concept test mules, like the inset gas intake, and the "stoplight-style" tail lights, but if the H3 looks remotely like these drawings, I'LL BE FIRST IN LINE TO ORDER ONE!!!
tbcreative Posts: 357I sent two emails to Hummer, one through http://www.Hummer.com, and the other through http://www.PlanetFeedback.com, offering suggestions for what I'd like to see with the new H3.
Here's the reply from Hummer, through PlanetFeedback.com:
"Enthusiasm is the word! Since 1999, General Motors and AM General have teamed up to bring a new breed of SUV to the automobile market, making the statement that HUMMER is like nothing else. The HUMMER H3 is currently a concept vehicle and will not be produced at this time. The H3 is currently in the developmental stages and information is not available. We are aware that there are published reports to the contrary, but General Motors has not officially released any information on H3.
Please continue to keep in contact with your local HUMMER dealership for updates, as they become available."
And here's the one directly from Hummer:
"Thank you for contacting HUMMER and your interest in the concept H3 model! HUMMER is excited about the future of the brand. Since 1999, General Motors and AM General have teamed up to bring a new breed of SUV to the automobile market, making the statement that HUMMER is like nothing else.
If the HUMMER H2 proves to be successful, General Motors will make the decision in the next few months on building the H3. At this time, the HUMMER H3 is only a concept vehicle, and has not been approved for production. Therefore, there is no information available. Many automobile magazines and publications have professed to have "Spy Shots" of the concept H3. Please note that these photos are not official, and do not represent any final product, as there is no final product at this time. Please keep in contact with us or your local HUMMER dealership for updates, as they become available.
We appreciate your input regarding this concept vehicle and thank you for contacting HUMMER!

Two slightly different reports, but we all know the H3 is coming out in the fall of 2004! Can't wait... -
tbcreative Posts: 357H1vc, your link has 2 extra characters in it and doesn't work unless you take the - and space before the .jpeg out.
That picture you're referring to, though, is a PhotoShopped pic of the H2, to give us an idea of what the H3 might look like. While that guy did a good job morphing that photo of the H2 into an H3, I think the drawings in Truck Trend look closer to what the H3 will probably look like. He did a better job of taking design elements from the covered-up test mules and blending them with styling cues from the H2.
I have my own version of that H2 into H3 picture here:
http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/bc/tbcreative67/lst?.dir=/Automotiv- e&.src=ph&.view= -
h1vc Posts: 295I really wanted to know more about the future of the Hummer and this "message", so I emailed the the Hummer communications person listed on media.gm.com. I asked her about the "message" and H3 info, this is her response. Very interesting, someone is lying.
"H1 sales are actually up almost 20% since the launch of the H2 and there are no plans to walk away from the product. The announcement at SEMA will be focused on how GM is continuing to invest in the H1 not discontinue it. The H3 and H4 stuff is a bunch of rumored nonsense, you won't see anything about the H3 or H4, H5 H6...etc at SEMA Wendy." -

I wish they'd give us the whole picture... -
tbcreative Posts: 357That's a good question! I'm not sure, but we should do a follow up on him.
I thought I recognized that art. That guy has a very distinctive style; slightly amateurish and "cartoonie," but still helpful when trying to give an idea of a new model coming out. Are you sure you don't have that scan any more? Do you know of any place it exists on the web? I'd just like to take a better look at it. The guy who runs the Hummer.net sites didn't even give me a source. I was hoping he'd maybe send me a jpeg of it...

For Daniel
It may seem like I haven't been blogging much the past two weeks, but really I've just been cheating on you.
My other blog, The Digging Deep Campaign
As for my own writing, I'm finishing up the polish on my Northern California book before sending it to the publisher. I've integrated the notes I got from my writing group, and am working on the fun intro material (basic history of Northern California, writing a personal preface, that sort of thing). The best part so far was dedicating it. I've never dedicated a book before. I'm giving this one to Daniel.
I thought about making the dedication read: "For Daniel, can we go home now?" We've been talking about moving back to Northern California since we got to LA, but somehow that didn't seem right.
I opted instead for: "For Daniel, who loves Northern California almost as much as I do."
It makes me wonder who I will dedicate my novel to. When I finish it, in like 30 years.
3 Comments
How about the article about H &T? Anxious to read their story.
It should have said: "For Daniel, who will soon learn how much more rad Portland, OR is than northern California. So just think about how much you love northern Cali and double that love."

NZ's killer mine may be sealed to extinguish fire
PUBLISHED: 29 Nov 2010 11:23:00 | UPDATED: 30 Nov 2010 05:00:19PRINT EDITION: 29 Nov 2010A New Zealand coal mine where 29 men died after a methane gas explosion could be temporarily sealed to put out a dangerous coal-fire, delaying attempts to recover the miners' bodies for months, authorities said.
The coal-fire was triggered by an explosion of methane on Sunday, the fourth and the strongest in just over a week, and came as authorities were preparing to try and flush toxic gases out of the mine to recover the bodies of the entombed miners.
Rescue authorities and mine operator Pike River Coal said on Monday they were evaluating the best way to extinguish the fire, with one option being to temporarily seal the entrance and ventilation shafts, in order to starve the fire of oxygen. "Recovery of the 29 men lost in the Pike River mine remains the company's top priority," chairman John Dow said in a statement.
Fires in underground coal mines can burn for years and Pike River Coal chief executive Peter Whittall told local media it could be several weeks before the bodies could be retrieved.
The men were trapped after an explosion on November 19, with a second more powerful blast on Nov. 24 extinguishing any hopes of survivors.
Prime Minister John Key announced a Royal commission of inquiry would be held into the disaster, the highest level of investigation possible in New Zealand.
Key has also cast doubt on the future of underground mining in New Zealand, saying the entire industry would have to be reviewed and the dangers assessed.

Himmelstalundshallen Is Largest Arena In Sweden to Install HARMANâs Crown DRIVECORE⢠Install (DCi) Series Network Amplifiers
NORRKÃPING, Sweden â Himmelstalundshallen is an indoor arena in Norrköping, Sweden that is home to the HC Vita Hasten ice hockey team. The 4,480-seat facility also hosts concerts and other sporting events. The oval-shaped arena opened in 1977 and even then its audio system would hardly be mistaken for state of the artâmaking it overdue for an upgrade by Sound contractor Micab (www.micab.se) under the direction of installation specialist Mikael Bergvall. The arena is the largest in Sweden to install HARMANâs Crown DCi Series Network amplifiers.
âIn addition to providing clear, intelligible audio we needed to achieve a system that provided equal coverage at every seating area,â said Bergvall. Working with Christer Lidberg and Jan Hedlund at Swedish HARMAN distributor Septon Electronics (www.septon.se), a system was designed based around eight Crown DCi 4|600N and eight DCi 4|300N networkable power amplifiers. The amplifiers are linked together using BSS Audio Soundweb London BLU-101 and BLU-160 devices with BLU-Link. Twenty JBL AM5215 loudspeakers complete the installation.
Bergvall pointed out that the Crown DCi Network amplifiers offer a number of advantages not available from conventional amps. Having both Ethernet and BLU link connectivity enables them to be easily networked over long distances and âusing BLU-link to network the audio system is extremely cost effective.â Thanks to their use of energy-efficient DriveCore⢠Technology, the Crown DCi Network amplifiers also use less power and take up less space. âAll of these factors are major assets in performance, ease of installation and savings on long-term operating cost.â
The DCi Network amplifiers offer networked monitoring and control via HARMAN HiQnet⢠Audio Architect system software, and digital audio connectivity using the HARMANâs proprietary BLU link as well as analog inputs. In addition to the main system, a Crown ComTech DriveCore CT8150 amplifier is used to power the speakers in the spectatorâs entrance.
The JBL AM5215 loudspeakers are hung equally spaced around the perimeter of the arena and aimed into the seats, a configuration that directs the output of the loudspeakers to the seating areas while minimizing reflected sound from the walls and ceiling along with any gaps or overlaps in coverage. The 2-way AM5215 employs a 15-inch woofer and a waveguide that can be rotated horizontally or vertically to facilitate installation in a wider variety of applications.
âThe system really came together well and more than met the arena managerâs expectations,â said Bergvall. He noted that the support from HARMAN and Septon was âcriticalâ in ensuring that the systemâs components all worked together seamlessly and delivered optimum performance. âThe quality of the sound in the Himmelstadlundshallen has been completely transformed. Everyone in every seat now enjoys clear, full range reproduction for game announcements, music and audio.â The memory of the previous sound system is now just a fading echo.
HARMAN designs, manufactures, and markets a wide range of infotainment and audio solutions for the automotive, consumer, and professional markets. It is a recognized world leader across its customer segments with premium brands including AKG®, Harman Kardon®, Infinity®, JBL®, Lexicon®, and Mark Levinson® and leading-edge connectivity, safety and audio technologies. The Company is admired by audiophiles across multiple generations and supports leading professional entertainers and the venues where they perform. More than 25 million automobiles on the road today are equipped with HARMAN audio and infotainment systems. HARMAN has a workforce of 14,800 people across the Americas, Europe, and Asia and reported sales of $4.7 billion for the last twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
