Honoring Your Church Leaders
1 Timothy 5:17 says, "The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching."
Remember, to dishonor is to treat as common or ordinary. To honor is to highly esteem, to build up.
I remember a time when a church asked me to consult with them. For many years, they had been in decline. I was happy to meet with their pastor and elders to hear their story.
Each time the pastor spoke, the elders talked over him and brushed off his comments as meaningless. The longer the meeting carried on, the more obvious their problem became to me.
When they asked me what I thought, I'm sure they expected me to tell them to change the style of their service or add a Saturday night service, etc.
Instead, I told them that their number one problem was that they were dishonoring their pastor. Immediately, the elders became defensive. It wasn't until I quoted their words and demonstrated what they had done that they realized their lack of honor.
I explained that I didn't expect God to bless their church until they trusted and believed in the one God had put there to lead them. On the spot, they sincerely repented to their pastor. Four years later, this church has almost doubled in size.
Showing honor obviously isn't the key to growth. But a lack of honor certainly doesn't help. As my church honors me as the God-appointed leader, I feel a deeper sense of urgency to hear from God and do what pleases Him.

Source: The Daily Beast
It launched with the sound of a young girl's voice, calling a hotline for women forced into marriage, her words spanning across the giant stage at New York's Lincoln Center. The girl was British, but she'd overheard her parents talking about shipping her off to Pakistan—for a forced marriage. "Put a spoon in your underwear," we hear a woman tell her. The audience is puzzled. "When you go through airport security," the woman continues, "the alarm will sound, and you can tell the guard your story."
It was a rousing start to Newsweek and The Daily Beast's third annual Women in the World Summit, a gathering that attracted activists, organizers, educators, and politicians from more than a dozen countries—and even managed to send Twitter over capacity by the popularity of its hashtag, #wiw12. Some had traveled far: Hokmina, a provincial council member, from Afghanistan. Leymah Gbowee, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and one of the weekend's co-hosts, from Liberia. There was Molly Melching, the U.S.-born founder of the Tostan organization, who has lived in Senegal for more nearly 40 years, working to stop female genital mutilation. And, of course, there were the activists here at home: Gloria Steinem, Angelina Jolie, Oprah Winfrey and more.
The list of co-hosts was equally impressive: Gbowee; Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg; fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg; Jane Harman, former congresswoman and current head of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars; Brazilian entrepreneur Nizan Guanaes; Ford Foundation Vice President Maya Harris; Mellody Hobson, president of Ariel Investments; designer and philanthropist Lauren Bush Lauren; publisher Judith Rodin; and actress Meryl Streep, who stirred the crowd with an introduction of Hillary Clinton that involved waving her Oscar in the air.
"This is what you get when you play a world leader," Streep said, showing off the trophy she won last month for The Iron Lady.
"But this," Streep continued, gesturing toward Clinton backstage, "is what you get when you are one."
Clinton walked onto the stage at the Koch Theater—named for a pair of brothers, as Steinem would point out—and the crowd went wild.
Each story, whether about forced marriage abroad or theater and politics at home, was triumphant in its own way and just a taste of the many riveting moments of the past few days. From a lively discussion about the need for female politicians to panels on Burma and Egypt and a dinner conversation with International Monetary Fund head Christine Lagarde, here are just a few of the most compelling moments from the third annual Women in the World Summit.
Leymah Gbowee to U.S. Women: 'Get Mad!'
In a rollicking talk with Newsweek & The Daily Beast editor-in-chief Tina Brown, Liberian peace activist Leymah Gbowee said it's time for American women to stop being polite. "We have to be our own Gandhis, our own kings, our own Mandelas," she said, referring to the recent uproar over contraception and abortion. "Why are these women not angry and beating men left and right?" Gbowee, the co-winner of the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize, is credited—along with fellow Nobel winner Ellen Johnson Sirleaf—with ending her country's 14-year civil war.
Young Female Activists: 'The Internet Is Our Tool'
Chelsea Clinton spoke with rising feminist stars about how they're using social media to empower girls. The answer? Microupdate by microupdate, with a fury so strong that the Wi-Fi inside Koch Theater went down during their talk (presumably from all the social-media chatter about it). "I sometimes talk about naming my kids after social media," Noorjahan Akbar joked, speaking about the organization she founded in Afghanistan, Young Women for Change. Said Change.org women's-rights organizer Shelby Knox: "The Internet is how we cut through the noise. It's how we organize to tell our stories."
Jaycee Dugard: "I Want to Be Remembered for What I do, Not What Happened to Me"
Jaycee Dugard spent 18 years locked up in a pedophile's backyard, but it's not what she wants to be known for—a point she made clear during an awards ceremony hosted by Diane von Furstenberg on Friday night at the United Nations. Amid the celebratory surroundings, Dugard silenced the room when she spoke, saying plainly, "My name is Jaycee Dugard. I want to say that. For a long time, I wasn't able to say my name, and it feels good."
Angelina Jolie's Ode to Dr. Hawa Abdi
In the final on-stage event on Friday night, Angelina Jolie spoke about a Somali obstetrician named Dr. Hawa Abdi—one of the first gynecologists in Somalia—whose medical encampment provides food and aid to nearly 100,000 women and children, many of them refugees in their own country. Called "equal parts Mother Teresa and Rambo" by Glamour magazine, Abdi has worked alongside her two daughters for nearly three decades, growing the camp from a one-room clinic into the village it is today—despite ongoing struggles with local militants in the region. Abdi's story, Jolie told a captivated crowd, "illuminates the nightmare of tens of millions around the world—the internally displaced and the ones homeless within their homelands."
Christine Lagarde: If Only Lehman Brothers Had Been Lehman Sisters
Sparring amicably during a dinner conversation with historian and Newsweek columnist Niall Ferguson, International Monetary Fund head Christine Lagarde drove this point home: "If Lehman Brothers had been a bit more Lehman Sisters ... we would not have had the degree of tragedy that we had as a result of what happened." She's not the first woman (or man) to make the point—but she noted that "the degree of risk taking among women is significantly lower" than among men. "I think there is something to be said about women being good crisis managers," she added.
Hokmina on the Status of Afghan Women
In a land known as the "most dangerous country for women," Afghan provincial council member Bibi Hokmina chooses pants and a turban over the burqas worn by most Afghan women—a look she's worn since childhood, when she was tasked with protecting her family during the Soviet war. In a panel devoted to the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, moderator Christiane Amanpour asked Hokmina what would become of Afghan women and girls. "It's time for us to stand up on our own two feet, to better our lives by ourselves," Hokmina said.
Gloria Steinem to Men: Get Used to Women in Power
"Female authority is still associated with childhood," Steinem, the founder of Ms. magazine, said on a panel hosted by the ultimate female power icon of the moment, Facebook's Sandberg. It was a quote that immediately went viral online. "The last time a lot of powerful guys saw a powerful woman, they were eight," Steinem continued, "and they feel regressed to childhood by a powerful woman in a way that they don't feel with a man."
Kah Walla: Why We Need More Female Politicians
The president of the People's Party of Cameroon was unforgiving when it came to strides made by women in politics—both in Africa and elsewhere—in a panel about women world leaders. "We don't have critical mass," she told moderator Andrea Mitchell. "We need to be Sweden, Norway, Denmark needs to be the norm. We cannot accept that having 19 percent of women in Congress is OK. And I think as women we need to understand: it is in the politics. It's politics that defines the economy, it's politics that defines social norms, and until we get political power, we are not going to be able to make giant strides." Her solution? "Every woman in here needs to be involved in getting a woman elected."

Corny Cell-Phone
I'm never quite sure whether some of these 'green' initiatives are seriously intended or are taking the piss.
Samsung has provoked this dilemma by producing a cell phone which has a casing made from a material derived from corn. It goes on sale in Europe in September and is called the E200 Eco.
Now a cellphone is full of shitty stuff like batteries, and non-degradable stuff like silicon, so how much is a corn-based casing really contributing to the future of the planet?
Suffice it to say that Samsung's 'environmental products manager' reckons that people will pay more for green products.
So that's it. It's a good business decision based on the brain-washing we're all getting these days that Green Is Good.
The idea is to sell more cellphones at higher margins.
And that's taking the piss.

My 86 year old mother in law duct taped a rug to her wood floor in the kitchen many years ago. The rug is now a toxic mess and I need to remove it. The years old duct tape is my challenge...
How do I remove the leftover goo and not destroy the floor finish? Thanks! |

I would try lighter fluid or mineral spirits, which is the same thing. |

Try oil lemon oil or teak oil or mineral oil. I hope you haven't tried anything else. Oil works but it is easier if it is not altered by other chemicals. Cooking oil is good for removing label and price sticker glue from glass or ceramics too. In fact almost any kind of tape glue is removable with oil--something to keep in mind for the next time you want to remove tape glue. Since I found this hint it's the only thing I use. |

I used Goo Gone on my brand new hard wood floor to get tape adhesive off it. The construction workers had taped down large pieces of cardboard to protect the floor during construction. |
I second the goo gone. Somehow the felt pads on the bottom of my kitchen chairs have been leaving a sticky residue on the floor. Goo Gone is the only thing that gets it off quickly. It can make the floor a bit slick so you'll want to wash with soap and water afterwards. |

Get on-the-go access to the latest insights featured on our Trustworthy Computing blogs.
Today Microsoft released update MS14-068 to address CVE-2014-6324, a Windows Kerberos implementation elevation of privilege vulnerability that is being exploited in-the-wild in limited, targeted attacks. The goal of this blog post is to provide additional information about the vulnerability, update priority, and detection guidance for defenders. Microsoft recommends customers apply this update to their domain controllers as quickly as possible.
Vulnerability Details
CVE-2014-6324 allows remote elevation of privilege in domains running Windows domain controllers. An attacker with the credentials of any domain user can elevate their privileges to that of any other account on the domain (including domain administrator accounts).
The exploit found in-the-wild targeted a vulnerable code path in domain controllers running on Windows Server 2008R2 and below. Microsoft has determined that domain controllers running 2012 and above are vulnerable to a related attack, but it would be significantly more difficult to exploit. Non-domain controllers running all versions of Windows are receiving a "defense in depth" update but are not vulnerable to this issue.
Before talking about the specific vulnerability, it will be useful to have a basic understanding of how Kerberos works.
One point not illustrated in the diagram above is that both the TGT and Service Ticket contain a blob of data called the PAC (Privilege Attribute Certificate). A PAC contains (among other things):
When a user first requests a TGT from the KDC, the KDC puts a PAC (containing the user's security information) into the TGT. The KDC signs the PAC so it cannot be tampered with. When the user requests a Service Ticket, they use their TGT to authenticate to the KDC. The KDC validates the signature of the PAC contained in the TGT and copies the PAC into the Service Ticket being created.
When the user authenticates to a service, the service validates the signature of the PAC and uses the data in the PAC to create a logon token for the user. As an example, if the PAC has a valid signature and indicates that "Sue" is a member of the "Domain Admins" security group, the logon token created for "Sue" will be a member of the "Domain Admins" group.
CVE-2014-6324 fixes an issue in the way Windows Kerberos validates the PAC in Kerberos tickets. Prior to the update it was possible for an attacker to forge a PAC that the Kerberos KDC would incorrectly validate. This allows an attacker to remotely elevate their privilege against remote servers from an unprivileged authenticated user to a domain administrator.
Update Priority
Detection Guidance
Companies currently collecting event logs from their domain controllers may be able to detect signs of exploitation pre-update. Please note that this logging will only catch known exploits; there are known methods to write exploits that will bypass this logging.
The key piece of information to note in this log entry is that the "Security ID" and "Account Name" fields do not match even though they should. In the screenshot above, the user account "nonadmin" used this exploit to elevate privileges to "TESTLAB\Administrator".
After installing the update, for Windows 2008R2 and above, the 4769 Kerberos Service Ticket Operation event log can be used to detect attackers attempting to exploit this vulnerability. This is a high volume event, so it is advisable to only log failures (this will significantly reduce the number of events generated).
After installing the update, exploitation attempts will result in the "Failure Code" of "0xf" being logged. Note that this error code can also be logged in other extremely rare circumstances. So, while there is a chance that this event log could be generated in non-malicious scenarios, there is a high probability that an exploitation attempt is the cause of the event.
The only way a domain compromise can be remediated with a high level of certainty is a complete rebuild of the domain. An attacker with administrative privilege on a domain controller can make a nearly unbounded number of changes to the system that can allow the attacker to persist their access long after the update has been installed. Therefore it is critical to install the update immediately.
Additional Notes
Azure Active Directory does not expose Kerberos over any external interface and is therefore not affected by this vulnerability.

Today Microsoft shipped MS14-072 to the .NET Framework to address an Elevation of Privilege (EOP) vulnerability in the .NET Remoting feature. This update fixes a specific issue in .NET Remoting that permitted specially crafted remote endpoints to take advantage of this vulnerability.
What is .NET Remoting?
.NET Remoting is a layer within the .NET Framework that facilitates communication between application domains (AppDomains). This permits managed objects to communicate across AppDomain, process, or machine boundaries. Objects can be passed by-reference across these boundaries. When methods are called on these objects, control again passes across the boundary to execute within the boundary where the object originated. Refer to .NET Remoting for more details.
Typical use of this is a .NET Remoting service that returns objects by-reference to the client. When the client invokes methods on these objects, code is executed on the server. Similarly, a client can pass an object by-reference to the service, and when that service invokes methods on that object, code executes on the client.
Use WCF instead of .NET Remoting
.NET Remoting is a legacy technology that is inherently less secure than WCF. It is unable to preserve isolation of trust levels across the client/server boundary, allowing specially crafted messages to exploit the use of by-reference objects to achieve an elevation of privilege. It also uses a legacy serialization technology that makes the server vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks. Because of this we recommend developers of distributed applications based on .NET Remoting to consider porting their code to Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) which is more secure.
The boundary transparency in .NET Remoting makes it possible for a remote untrusted endpoint to take control of a .NET Remoting service. Because the service typically executes with full privileges, this permits a remote endpoint with lower privileges to elevate themselves using functionality exposed by .NET Remoting services. Within a completely trusted environment, this is normally not a problem. But if the .NET Remoting service is exposed to untrusted remote endpoints, this becomes an issue as it crosses the security boundary.
Read about how .NET Remoting works to know more information around why we recommend moving away from it.
The Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) unified programming model is designed to be robust when communicating with untrustworthy endpoints. In many cases this may be a small exercise to move to the newer, more supported technology. The MSDN article entitled How to: Migrate Managed-Code .NET Remoting to WCF provides a number of examples and code samples to help ease this transition process.
Securing .NET Remoting services
Moving to newer technology takes time, meanwhile here are some steps to make .NET Remoting service more secure:
This enables encryption and digital signatures if the remoting system determines that the channel implements ISecurableChannel.
There is no authentication or encryption by default, developers have to do this explicitly.

Today, we're releasing the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) 5.1 which will continue to improve your security posture by providing increased application compatibility and hardened mitigations. You can download EMET 5.1 from microsoft.com/emet or directly from here. Following is the list of the main changes and improvements:
All the changes in this release are listed in Microsoft KB Article 3015976.
If you are using Internet Explorer 11, either on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, and have deployed EMET 5.0, it is particularly important to install EMET 5.1 as compatibility issues were discovered with the November Internet Explorer security update and the EAF+ mitigation. Alternatively, you can temporarily disable EAF+ on EMET 5.0. Details on how to disable the EAF+ mitigation are available in the User Guide. In general we recommend upgrading to the latest version of EMET to benefit from all the enhancements.
We want to particularly thank Luca Davi, Daniel Lehmann, and Ahmad-Reza Sadeghi from System Security Lab at Technical University Darmstadt/CASED, and René Freingruber form SEC Consult for partnering with us.
Your feedback is always welcome as it helps us improve EMET with each new release, so we encourage you to reach out using the Connect Portal or by sending an email to email@example.com.

Today Microsoft shipped MS14-057 to the .NET Framework in order to resolve an Elevation of Privilege vulnerability in the ClickOnce deployment service. While this update fixes this service, developers using Managed Distributed Component Object Model (a .NET wrapped around DCOM) need to take immediate action to ensure their applications are secure.
Managed DCOM is an inherently unsafe way to perform communication between processes of different trust levels. Microsoft recommends moving applications to Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) for inter-process communication instead of using Managed DCOM. Exposing Managed DCOM containers or servers to lower trust callers can result in elevation of privilege vulnerabilities. Please note that DCOM is considered to be secure; only Managed DCOM is considered to be insecure.
More Information:
For more information around why we recommend moving away from Managed DCOM, it is helpful to understand how COM and DCOM work.
COM is a platform-independent, programming language independent, object-oriented system for creating software components that interact. Traditional COM occurs within a single process boundary.
DCOM is similar to normal COM except it allows for objects to be created in different processes or even different computers. This can be useful for distributed computing, or for scenarios where a client application needs to communicate with a server application.
Unfortunately the communications wrapper that the .NET Framework uses to talk to DCOM (also known as Managed DCOM) is unable to maintain this security boundary. If you use managed code to implement either a server or a container, it's possible for the remote end of the communication channel to take over the managed process. In scenarios where the interaction is taking place inside the same process or between two processes running with the same privilege, this isn't a problem. However, when the processes communicating with each other run with different levels of privilege, this becomes an issue.
Fortunately there is a solution for developers that rely on this functionality. The Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) unified programming model is designed to be robust when communicating with untrustworthy endpoints. In many cases this may be a small exercise to move to the newer, more supported technology. The MSDN article entitled How to: Migrate Managed-Code DCOM to WCF provides a number of examples and code samples to help ease this transition process.
For MS14-057, Microsoft removed the ClickOne deployment service dependency on Managed DCOM. We suggest all developers do the same if they are currently using Managed DCOM to communicate between components running with different privilege.

Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET) 5.0. As many of you already know, EMET is a free tool, designed to help customers with their defense in depth strategies against cyberattacks, by helping detect and block exploitation techniques that are commonly used to exploit memory corruption vulnerabilities. EMET 5.0 further helps to protect with two new mitigations and several other improvements. You can download EMET 5.0 from the Microsoft Download Center.
Let's start with the two new mitigations, which we initially introduced in EMET 5.0 Technical Preview: the Attack Surface Reduction (ASR), and the Export Address Table Filtering Plus (EAF+). We already described details about these two new mitigations in the Technical Preview announcement blog post, but let's talk briefly about the improvements made during the preview period.
The ASR is a mechanism to block the usage of a specific modules or plug-ins within an application. For example, you can configure EMET 5.0 to prevent Microsoft Word from loading the Adobe Flash Player plug-in, or, with the support of security zones, you can use EMET 5.0 to prevent Internet Explorer from loading the Java plug-in on an Internet Zone website while continuing to allow Java on Intranet Zone websites.
During the preview period we have performed several tests and collected your feedback to finalize the default configuration for this mitigation. We aimed at having a configuration that provided security, and at the same time, did not limit the user experience with the applications protected by EMET 5.0. By default, EMET 5.0 is configured to block some modules and plug-ins from being loaded by Internet Explorer while navigating to websites belonging to the Internet Zone, and to also block the Adobe Flash plug-in from being loaded by Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. We have chosen modules that are commonly used in certain exploitation scenarios, but like all EMET features and mitigations, the ASR is completely configurable to satisfy everybody's needs and to be tailored to specific systems' requirements.
Internet Explorer ASR default configuration
The EAF+ starts by the same concept as the existing Export Address Table Filtering (EAF) mitigation, but it amplifies its scope and robustness. During the Technical Preview, we have presented the EAF+ as an extension to the EAF. During the last couple of months we have made several improvements to it, and we decided that it should be a new mitigation on its own.
As already mentioned in the Technical Preview blog post, when EAF+ is enabled it adds the following additional safeguards:
These improvements help detect and disrupt some current techniques used to dynamically discover ROP (Return Oriented Programming) gadgets and reliably execute code when a vulnerability is exploited.
EMET 5.0 introduces many other improvements. Let's go through them and see what customer benefits they add.
Many ROP mitigations are now available also for 64-bit processes: Deep Hooks, Stack Pivot, Load Library, and MemProt. Although we have not yet detected exploits that use ROP techniques to exploit 64-bit applications, we decided to extend the anti-ROP mitigations to this architecture to be ready when the time comes.
The Certificate Trust's pinning rules can now be configured with a more aggressive "blocking" mode (not enabled by default), so that EMET 5.0 can force Internet Explorer to terminate the SSL connection without sending session data instead of just detecting the untrusted certificate.
Certificate Trust Blocking Rule option
We have added a new service, called EMET Service, which is taking in charge many duties that EMET Agent used to do in previous versions. The EMET Service, among other things, takes care of evaluating the Certificate Trust rules, appropriately dispatching EMET Agents in every user's instance, and automatically applying Group Policy settings pushed through the network. Also, a service offers more resiliency and better ability to being monitored.
We have seen a technique to potentially bypass some of the EMET 4 mitigations. This technique is possible when a memory corruption within an EMET-protected application can be abused to overwrite selected memory areas and corrupt data belonging to EMET itself. We have also seen techniques aiming at disabling the EAF mitigation by invoking some specific API calls. In EMET 5.0 we worked to harden against potential bypass techniques.
We also refactored many components of the EMET 5.0 engine, in order to maximize application compatibility, also with some popular anti-malware products, and reduce potential false-positives.
We have done a lot of work to bring EMET 5.0 to life, and we want to thank all those who provided feedback during the Technical Preview time frame, either through firstname.lastname@example.com or through the EMET Connect Portal (which we'll continue to use). Your feedback helped to create a great version of EMET. Now, we are giving you back the product that you helped us build. We invite you then to download EMET 5.0, install it, and let us know what you think.
The EMET Team:

Today we released six security bulletins addressing 29 unique CVE's. Two bulletins have a maximum severity rating of Critical, three have maximum severity Important, and one is Moderate. We hope that the table below helps you prioritize the deployment of the updates appropriately for your environment.

Findomestic, an Italian bank, produced a reality show that is the main focus of its new advertising campaign. The bank opened its doors to consumers, inviting them to become involved, together with the employees.
The project called Nei Tuoi Panni' (In Your Shoes), started with the recruiting of the bank's customers, and the campaign aims to communicate a simple concept. On the banks site for the campaign it states: "before being consultants, we are people and, as individuals, we put ourselves in the shoes of our customers."
Every week there is a new episode on YouTube, TV and Facebook. The bank hopes that this campaign will demonstrate to customers its promise to deliver high-quality service.

I have a massive oak tree and I'm getting ready to plant some hellebores underneath. I also have a fair amount of sweet woodruff I need to transplant. Can anyone think of why this would not be a good combo? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Seems like a good match to me. I know my Sweet Woodruff grows like crazy, you'll have to keep it trimmed back from the Hellebore. |
- Posted by birdsong72 7/JerseyShore (My Page) on Sun, Jan 8, 06 at 12:22
My target this year is to trim back the woodruff from the empimedium. I don't know that woodruff would overtake and strangle hellebores. I have my hellebores (under a huge 80' oak) planted with primulas and astilbe. Other shrubs within the bed are clethra 'hummingbird', ev. azalea 'salmon elf', dec. azalea 'yellow eyes' along with ilex pedunculosa. Actually the work in this bed will be to extract the ostrich ferns (which are making me forget of the creeping hydranga that needs to get jumpstarted up that oak). All good things in all good time. Peace |
I also think the hellebores will be flooded by the woodruff. |

ETech: Roomba Cockfighting
Those of you who read Make Magazine know that Phil Torrone has been working on remote-controlled Roomba vacuum cleaners. Well, tonight at ETech, Phil and Jeff Han got to test their mettle battling their Roombas in a Roomba cockfight. I took a few pictures and put them up on flickr. I also took 2 video clips of a short battle and a slightly longer battle. After a few more rounds of fighting, I suggested to Phil that we could mount my digital camera to the top of one of the Roombas to create the RoombaCam. The result is 5 video clips in RoombaVision™. They are round n-4, round n-3, round n-2, round n-1, and the final round.

Just to point and to beam with pride a litte: the Roombas were mine and Phil's. The Bluetooth Roomba adapters in the blue disc containers were built by me.

Are you dissatisfied with your life? Does contentment seem beyond your reach? Are you discontented with your life despite achieving what you set out to realize?
Many people begin on a journey they believe will bring them contentment. Why shouldn't it? Everybody else appears to work thru life, working up the ladder, developing relationships and setting themselves up and they appear satisfied. But what takes place when it doesn't work for you?
The standard reaction to feeling dissatisfied with things is to look at your current situation and ask if you like your job, your relationships, your financial position or where you live. Making some changes to any one of these will only work if the actual issue was something wrong with them in the first place. Often people then try doing different things - maybe getting some more work/life balance. Again, this may not work if that is not the issue first of all. Asking friends will bring different responses but the advice people give is truly only a reflection of what they 'believe ' they'd do if they were in a similar scenario.
The truth of the matter is that unless there's purpose or meaning behind what you do which you place a value on, then no amount of changing things or talking yourself into why you 'should ' be happy, will work. You have got to address the basics of what your life is all about and if it is not working, then some changes must be made. The actuality though is if you continue on a journey of dissatisfaction without resolving it, it will lead on to disappointment and probably depression and/or anxiety.
I say to people that depression and anxiety - or any other symptom - is part of yourself that is attempting to make you "listen to what is wrong in your life." You do not 'catch ' any mental health condition - it is your reaction to internal or external factors that do not sit well with you. So before you continue down a path of dissatisfaction and possible despair or depression, find help to find out what is important to you and what you've got to do to get unstuck - and make a life that is 'on purpose ' and with you in the driving seat.

Developing powerful interaction skills is not the easiest of tasks, especially if you don't know how to deal with self-improvement in all-purpose. The enhancement of existing interaction abilities and the development of a powerful interaction skill-set are incredibly apparent steps pro lone have fun. Certain interaction skills are certainly 'basic' to the boundary with the aim of they are very de rigueur and with the aim of a allocation of the accomplishment of interaction has to be built in the principal these foundations. Below are some useful tips.
The preeminent start to rising effectual interaction skills is a thorough evaluation, initially of the skills possessed and following of everywhere enhancement is looked-for and how to energy in this area with the intention of enhancement. This process is preeminent made with a further party. Equally interaction skills are urban early by an ahead of schedule age now and again public develop 'blind spots' in their lifestyle: An area or skill with the intention of they lack lacking realizing with the intention of they are missing.
Moreover, remember that when you are thinking of humanizing your verbal interaction skills, is it your scale of language, your stylishness of manner of speaking or the way you converse in which needs to be worked on? You could maybe ask the advice of a supporter or trusted colleague on with the aim of as it is currently and again tiresome to mediate pro physically.
Besides, you can furthermore hire a web hosting company to help you. The hosting company can provide you with hosting services which can give you a website. During learning the communication skills, you can use the website to write down your process. However, you can furthermore enter the answer points on the internet. Therefore, the website can be converted into an valuable tool pro you.
Did you know that online video conferencing is also named video partnership? During video conferencing, partakers have to collect these particular
such as a P. C. , mike, web cam and broadband connection if you would like to participate.
Did you know the reason why online video conferencing is a quite convenient way of interaction? This technique will save you money and time. With this practical use people can easily carry out multiple connections and meetings anywhere from far and near without ever transferring out of their locations. When talking about video conferencing the number one factors needed are delay, synchronization and also transmission. Using these, members have the chance of being able to see their fellow attendees and that would've been extraordinarily unlikely.
In the legal, medical and instructional
profession nothing compares to video conferencing as the ideal medium for communication. Because these professions need traveling and meeting lots of folk simultaneously. Video conferencing provides the least expensive and safest way to try this. With recent technology such as mobile app developments such as Android and iPhone 4 applications it makes it all way easier.
Are you aware that there are generally 3 systems of video conferencing? These systems are computer-based, desktop and studio-based system. Out of these 3 the least expensive is the PC based thanks to the fact that it's got a constrained field of view. What's video conferencing, if not a technology that permits any person anywhere to hear and see another party in real time? However , to set the system you may require a web cam, microphone, speaker, a computer and video conferencing software.
With video conferencing systems you may be linked with a few offices in your company that are found in one or two places across the world. This connection includes having audio and visual access to anyone or information you don't need any matter the location of the individual.
For organizations to completely utilize video conferencing facilities, they must include a camera that permits participants to view themselves. Video conferencing continues to gain grounds, many business also continue enjoying the advantages it brings since it greatly help to raise productivity and correspondingly cut down costs of traveling which most companies rely on.
Todd Shaffer designs and tests iPhone 4 applications. He's been working in the communications industry for over 20 years.
In our current high-tech environment, where we can send messages in a flash via text and e-mail, we've started to approach communication as though it were something fabricated in a factory. Message in, message out. Do it again, hundreds of times per day, thousands of times per week.
As a result, it's easy to become removed from the fact that our messages are essentially thoughts, ideas, discussions, and arrangements with "real people." Because of the sheer volume of communication we have to deal with and it's rapid-fire nature, it can be to forget that we're relating to living, breathing human beings. It is useful to take a step backwards and re-assess what we are doing. As a marketing strategy consultant, I ask myself and my clients this question: in some cases, is there a better way to relate to someone?
In some cases, a quick, focused email or text is the most efficient way of dialogue between two parties. At other times, being as efficient as possible and being as effective as possible can be mutually exclusive. As a rule of thumb, when ever you want to communicate in a manner that demonstrates warmth and sincere emotion, the wisest thing you can do is to put your keyboard away and take out your pen and paper.
Simply put, people assign increased value to things that appear to take more effort, attention, and care. The fact that these types of things are rare in our busy, modern society makes them more impressive. That's why a straightforward handwritten gesture can have such a positive impact on the individual that receives it.
It's very easy for people who use Facebook to post a quick "happy birthday!" message on their friends ' walls, which is something the recipient appreciates, but having done it before themselves, they realize that this gesture takes just a few seconds and needs very little thought or attention. What actually stands out on their birthday (apart from a phone call or in person-to-person visit) is something much more tangible: an honest to goodness, hand-written birthday card. There's something about holding thay expression in their hands that reaches their heartsl.
The same is true for thank-you cards. Again, expressing appreciation and appreciation by electronic means definitely "covers the bases", but the warmth, sincerity, and respect a physical note delivers is in a completely different league. Even if an email and a thank you note convey the same exact words and phrasing, the thank you card wins out for impact each time. Especially now, thank-you notes also reflect a level of class and 'good breeding ' that electronic communication can't match.
None of this is excessively newsworthy, and it's all too easy to nod in agreement and then continue on your present path. The challenge is not in accepting the idea, but in placing it into practice.
Taking action is really quite simple. You simply need a couple of simple preparatory steps. Whether you choose to visit a stationery store, corner shop, or shop on the web for personalized cards, start by choosing some birthday cards, thank you cards, and 'blank ' cards to keep on hand. Stash them where ever it'll be most convenient for you: at home, at work, or maybe in your automobile. You will probably wish to have some cards in several different locations. With them, tuck in a little set of stamps (if you live in the US, the 'forever ' stamps never expire and are a perfect choice for keeping with your cards). You may also want to have a print-out of your address notebook if you don't have it stored electronically on your computer or smartphone.
After you are stocked, you are good to go. Now all you must do is to be open for the right opportunities to express yourself in a significant way. Next time you are dashing off an e-mail, using Twitter or Facebook, or thinking about sending a text, ask if taking one or two more moments to write a card or note would add much higher value to your recipient. If it will consider investing a bit of time in expressing your sensibilities by hand. Don't worry about attempting to be Shakespeare or out-doing the greeting card companies with their floral prose. Just think about what you want to express, and scribble it down clearly, simply, and swiftly. As you do this more and more, it'll become easier.
To stand out in a world of cluttered, throw-away mesages, using the power of hand-written cards, notes, and letters simply makes sense. Begin today: assemble the tools you need, keep them handy, and look for opportunities to better connect with your friends, family, and business colleagues.

Does Each & Every Shade Of Colour Have A Different Implication? Most Certainly.
I am often asked if understanding colour is important. My reply used to be, 'It's helpful ', but now I say, 'It's essential'. Why? Because we live in troublesome times and anything that is useful is fast becoming a useful necessity. 'Black is protective with an element of grief'. What grief? All sorts. Grey is watered down grief - but something needs to 'shift ' if pale grey is worn all over, all of the time - the grief goes cold, almost enveloping. It seeps into the face. You need 'heat'' to heal. Years ago, I talked to a lady about her diet/digestion knowing I wasn't really helping. She was reserved, not chatty like me, but I liked her a lot. Finally I plucked up courage and asked her if I could talk 'emotions'. Somewhat reluctantly she agreed.. I can't go into specific details but essentially I told her what I felt was emotionally 'driving' her digestion issues. She was so shocked her jaw dropped dramatically - essentially I felt she was a teensy weensy bit upset because she told me she had never discussed her problem with anybody at all. I believed she was an intensely private lady. She needed to know how I could possibly know such a thing and asked if I had psychic abilities. Well, I'm not, though like everybody else do have occasional flashes of intuition. I just read her clothes. I got most of the information from her jumper and secondary back-up from her hairstyle, jewellery, trousers, shoes and miniscule body language as we talked. The body language was purely verification. We parted on good terms and she looked calm, but it got me wondering. If she had understood her jumper, when she first reached for it, she would have understood the emotion attached to it - would she then have worn it? If she had worn it and her family had understood her jumper they might have known there was a problem. If everyone understood their clothing especially the colours they choose, would we get dressed AT ALL? It's a worry to me because English weather mostly restricts going starkers. You're probably thinking, 'What was her jumper like? ' Well, I've written at length about clothing and colour [and chakras] in my book Attention, Seekers and the details will be at the end, but for now I'll give you a clue - her jumper was striped but it was the varied colours and depth of the stripes that gave me the information. For that stripey jumper lady the clothing information might have been helpful but somehow I doubt it as she was in the realm of a 'sacred contract' [also in my book] but the rest of us the knowledge is incredibly useful, and for a few , who are, unconsciously, treading on dangerous ground, it is vital. Bright yellow is upbeat. Pale yellow shows self-confidence. But not toooooo much yellow please - and back off quick if you notice it worn with black. Waspy. You've been warned! I'm fascinated by colour and I have always loved clothing - in fact I really wanted to be a fashion designer but all my sketches were diligently ignored by my teachers at various boarding schools and my father wasn't eager on the idea of art college, so I turned into a nurse instead. Still, at least we had attractive uniforms to wear, but sadly , nowadays, you only see them in 'Carry On ' films or 'Call The Midwife'. I nursed on old-fashioned, long Nightingale wards and spent lots of time worrying why some people healed and others didn't - there never seemed to be a good enough answer. When I blundered rather unhappily into my late thirties, the nice man, 2.2 children, house in the country, Land Rover, cats, dogs and coffee with girlfriends was absolutely nowhere in sight. I sought out people to explain why life wasn't delivering. I was introduced to chakras [the seven emotional centres of the body] and all of a sudden life started to make a little sense. Each chakra has an associated colour, going [like the rainbow] from base chakra up - red, orange, yellow, pink [and green - took me years to work out why there were two heart chakra colours], turquoise, indigo, violet. We load and store information, memories and emotion at each chakra and we use body language to protect them. But this is meant to be about colour so I am reluctant to go off-track into chakras because I could keep you here for a very long time. After I'd read several books on chakras (Caroline Myss is the best) and grasped what information we stored in them, I started to look at peoples clothes to see if they corresponded to certain chakras. I was staggered at what I discovered. Red is energising. Often it's va va voom, but occasionally it's extremely ANGRY. Pay attention now, as you don't want to mistake the two, and BEWARE of old women dressed in 'don't notice me' colours but sporting red shoes. Somewhere, down in their deeeeeepest recesses, they long to kick someone. Make sure it isn't YOU!! And Ladies! All you ladies of all ages, listen up now: If red and black [burgundy too] is a habit, almost a daily uniform, then please, please GET OUT OF IT NOW.This very second. Protect your ovaries. Just ditch it.The colours are speaking emotion and the emotion is far too negative. Try some pale blue; change your thinking. I've been watching the result of red and black for years and years - it's SERIOUS. I'm taking a look at people's decor as well. Paint, Curtains. Wallpaper. Sofa For a number of years, I've been lucky to live in a village enabling me to look at people as they progressed through births, weddings, deaths and all the bits that happen in between. I noticed people switched colours, often dramatically, when important life events came upon them. Sometimes they didn't change their clothes but radically changed the colour of paint on their front door. I also noticed that some individuals never altered their colours at all; these were people with whom meaningful conversations could be a bit limiting; solid green sitting-rooms can be difficult on chitter-chattering. As a really basic rule, I would say that, the more colours on somebody [and in their house] the more expanded the interests and the wider the subjects of conversation. Orange is 'talk to me'. Try a huge bright tangerine headband; walk down the road and watch how many eyes are drawn to you. A couple of days ago, I went to the village with a large, bright orange bag on my shoulder and wearing a chestnut jacket. A pretty ok kind of guy, that I'd never set eyes on before, turned to me and said, 'Hi, young lady!' He beamed at me and walked on. I smiled too. Well, why not? I'm 58. I live with a nice man. But it's sweet to get noticed by ok, sober men, almost half my age.
Do you have silent but infrequently grunting teenagers? Try large, bright orange towels in the bathroom and watch what happens. Too expensive? Put a large bowl of fresh oranges in the middle of the table and insist the family eats round it. During the early 1990's, I used to watch the Oprah Winfrey Show on TV. I was working shifts so I'd tape the programme and watch at my leisure. I became almost obsessed with her guests and audience participators, spotting that specific kinds gravitated to specific colours or colour combinations. By recording the programme I could stop, wind back and watch it over and over again. Having grasped the basics I turned my attention to the people I came into contact with daily around me, especially women I knew well. I would watch their preferred choice of colour, listen carefully and ask questions. I started to realise that we are all walking around showing our innermost emotions for everyone to see but for few to notice. It's a humbling realisation. Duck egg blue is about saying what you are thinking as well as having the quiet confidence not to say what you are thinking when that's more acceptable. Kingfisher blue is simply saying it, and announcing it LOUD !! Do you recall that recent hullabaloo about little girls in pink, pink, pink. There was no end of a fuss from Mothers going demented with pink demands; even the Fathers were getting sassy. Bless. Not getting the point entirely! You see, kiddies come in 'knowing ' and it's us that tells them what's what. They paint pictures of people with blue hair, orange hands, green legs and so on.. We smile indulgently. But who is to say that this isn't what the children are really seeing? Before the little girls came to this planet they knew us adults had a significant problem and they decided it would be a great idea to fix it. They knew the enormous powerof colour. They quickly realised that relentless blasts and big expanses of colour would have a beneficial effect on grown-ups psyche and retinas - like the police knew that putting difficult prisoners in pink cells calmed them down [strange but true fact]. So the little girls asked for lots and lots of pale pink to spread some heart giving compassion around - in the nick of time - then they demanded shocking pink so we'd be able to have some real fun. Did well didn't they? So , when anyone even slightly famous all of a sudden is seen sporting a huge handbag or coat in shocking pink - rather out of character, one might say - rest assured that person has had an emotional breakthrough. And that is a kind of healing. A contented healing.

Shifting Perspectives: The sun and the moon, page 3 {WoW}
Aug 29th 2010 6:57PM You can push Eclipse back in its original direction, but I showed on my blog awhile back that doing this with anything besides Starsurge isn't really a DPS gain if you're forced to switch Eclipse procs. It's really just changing non-Eclipsed casts later for non-Eclipsed casts now. In fact, it just makes the DPS cycle longer and needlessly more complicated.
Now using Starsurge to extend Eclipse is a DPS gain because it benefits from the eclipse and gives "smart" energy. That's the same idea I suggested applying to critical strikes while under the influence of Eclipse.
Decay does not happen in combat. However, out of combat decay is fairly rapid. If you're not bouncing from mob to mob very rapidly, it's likely you will find yourself back at 0 each time you engage a new mob.

Aug 29th 2010 6:49PM Thanks for putting this idea further out there for me. The smart idea was a modification of the crit refund model I had awhile back when we realized that Euphoria would only increases the frequency of procs but not the average overall uptime.
Sorry I took so long to find it and comment here. I've been overhauling my car before my teaching kicks back into gear and I have neglected my moonkinly duties. =]

Aug 6th 2010 7:16PM lol that's the default UI. It's been tough to be as effective without my addons, which is a double-edged sword. It means I'm picking addons that help me play my class better (call it essential) but at the same time, it means I might not be as good as I thought...

Aug 6th 2010 7:13PM Not ALL, but most. In fact, I have a very nice pair of rare boots from a quest with int crit and haste. Ideal since mastery isn't implemented yet.
Shifting Perspectives: Balance DoTs in Cataclysm {WoW}
Aug 2nd 2010 7:14PM Mastery does not affect Moonfire. Also, Lunar Shower is really only practical, and I use that word loosely, if you're on the run and within a 180 frontal arc of your enemy. As an aside, although mastery exists as a stat, and we know what it is supposed to do, it is not functional. For Balance druids, mastery is going to bump up our Eclipse's strength.
It sure seems like Moonfire improves a lot on the move, but really, its a small bump to a small amount. Even with the increases, the spell power coefficient of the direct damage portion of moonfire is small, so you're really taking percentages of percentages which amounts to very small changes in damage throughput.
Shifting Perspectives: Balance DoTs in Cataclysm {WoW}
Jul 31st 2010 3:10AM Lis is right. The mechanics for Eclipse seem to have been their focus and
[grabs soapbox]
there seems to be a distinct lack of synergy between our spells. Our two main nukes are similar, our DoTs are independent. Its like I'm just laying cards out on the table independently. Where are the buffs to spells or the extended DoTs? Where is the encouragement to cast anything beyond the raw damage that it does? Yes I realize that in the end, I cast the spell I choose to cast because it gives the greatest NET damage. But there are many ways to move a spell from inefficient to efficient given synergy with the rest of the classes arsenal. Where's my synergy, Blizz?

Jul 30th 2010 8:44PM @ Peter
In response to your question about Moonfire, it does not generate any Eclipse Energy right now.
One thing to keep in mind when talking about damage potential in Beta is that things will probably scale if overall damage is two low. But if a specific ability feels off from live or from the rest of our spells, that's the sort of feedback they want. They actually made a call for that type of feedback on the beta forums.
@ Murmurs
I'm spending my time in dungeons almost exclusively. First let me say that many of the fights feel overtuned because people don't remember how to CC or handle trash that you can't AoE. Most of the fights have had some trick mechanic to prevent stand and deliver encounters. On the whole, I am very pleased with the quality of the encounters.
In the dungeon, I focus on 100% DoT uptime. Granted, Eclipse does not work, but in terms of DPET, DoTs are kickin butt. I follow the Eclipse rotation and find that replacing a DoT right as Eclipse procs allows the me to smoothly reapply the DoTs in most cases.

Shifting Perspectives: Recreating balance druids in Cataclysm {WoW}
Jul 29th 2010 4:31PM Let me lay out a situation here:
You have 0% crit 0% haste (ease of scenario) and you just procced a Lunar Eclipse. Every Starfire generates 20 Solar Energy and every Wrath generates 13 Lunar Energy.
In one Eclipse you could: (100 Lunar)
cast 5 Starfires under Eclipse (0)
cast 5 more Starfires to proc Solar (100 Solar)
cast 8 Wraths under Eclipse (0)
cast 8 more Wraths to start the cycle over again. (100 Lunar)
That's a total of 50% of the spells you cast (and due to the symmetry 50% of your damage done) that is affected by Eclipse.
Another situation allows you to start at a Lunar Eclipse (100 Lunar)
cast 3 Starfires under Eclipse (40 Lunar)
cast 3 Wraths to move the bar back (79 Lunar)
cast 3 Starfires under Eclipse (19 Lunar)
cast 4 Wraths to move the bar back (71 Lunar)
cast 4 Starfires under Eclipse (9 Solar)
cast 5 Starfires to proc Solar Eclipse (100 Solar)
cast 4 Wraths (48 Solar)
cast 2 Starfires (88 Solar)
cast 4 Wraths (36 Solar)
cast 2 Starfires (76 Solar)
cast 5 Wraths (11 Solar)
cast 1 Starfire (31 Solar)
cast 3 Wrath (8 Lunar)
cast 8 Wrath to proc Lunar Eclipse
The second scenario is the "extension" scenario, excluding Starsurge, which we will want to use while trying to proc an Eclipe (most likely). At a 3 second Starfire and a 2 second Wrath, the Lunar Eclipse takes 44 seconds and the Solar Eclipse takes 47 seconds, implying that the final Wrath would not benefit from Eclipse.
We have 10 Eclipsed Starfires and 10 non-Eclipsed Starfires. We also have 15 Eclipsed Wraths and 15 non-Eclipsed Wraths. The only difference between the two situations is
A) the complexity of the situation
B) the length of the cycle
In terms of Eclipse uptime, these two cycles are identical. So explain to me why I would want to extend my Eclipse and thus complicate my rotation?

Catholic youths attempt to catch up to adults in Bible reading
By Carol Zimmermann
Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- After the Second Vatican Council, American Catholics dusted off their family Bibles and began charting the unfamiliar territory of personal Bible reading.
But the same enthusiasm that sent adults in droves to parish Bible studies and discussion groups did not catch on with Catholic youths. In the 1990s, nearly 30 years after "Dei Verbum," the council's document on divine revelation, only 20 percent of Catholic young people in a Gallup Poll said they ever read the Bible on their own, compared to about 60 percent of youths from other Christian denominations.
Brian Singer-Towns, editor of the Catholic Youth Bible, published by St. Mary's Press in 2000, wants to see that change. For starters, he said Catholic youths need to become biblically literate.
In other words, they should be able to pick up a Bible and know how to explore it, for example, being able to find a particular book or a certain passage. He said they should also know the big picture of the Bible, such as its historical and cultural context and how certain books or passages have been interpreted by the church.
The reason other Christian youths are picking up the Bible on their own is because "their leaders are training them to do that," Singer-Towns told
Catholic News Service
"We need to do the same thing," he said, stressing the importance of students reading directly from the Bible in religion classes instead of reading biblical passages inserted into textbooks.
That's what Jan Millner, a theology teacher at St. Francis High School, an all-girls school in Sacramento, Calif., strives to do on a daily basis. She uses the Bible as much as possible, having students read from it during structured times of prayer, act out certain passages, translate the message to modern times or put the words to music.
In today's high-tech society where teens have numerous demands on their time and a variety of entertainment at the ready, the Bible could seem old-fashioned yet Millner said her students inevitably are engaged by the discussion.
And although there are electronic Bible versions or online reference materials to capture their attention, the biblical technology can only go so far. "In the end students just have to spend time with the Bible," Millner told CNS Aug. 21 between classes during the first week of school.
For its part, St. Mary's Press and a few other publishing companies have recently tried to make inroads in the Catholic youth Bible market. Along with the Catholic Youth Bible, marketed for teens, the company also offers a Bible specifically for middle-schoolers and one for college students.
Mark Hart, executive vice president for Life Teen International and author of "T3," an interactive DVD Bible-study series for teens published two years ago by Ascension Press, said today's youths "crave authenticity," which the Bible is all about.
"Teens so badly want to be engaged," he said, and as he sees it, the Bible is the best tool to speak to them because "it is so bold and it doesn't compromise."
Hart is optimistic about Catholic teens reading the Bible, based on workshops he's given across the country. He's been particularly impressed with the optional Bible studies offered early in the mornings at Catholic teen conferences that have been packed with participants.
"They're eating it up," he told CNS from Mesa, Ariz. "There is a huge groundswell of young people trying to read Scripture."
And for parishes or Catholic religion classes where the Bible has not yet caught on with teens, Hart advises youth ministers and teachers not to even attempt to teach the Bible if they are not reading it themselves.
"If you're not currently reading the Bible, start the class in six months," he advised.
Hart likened becoming familiar with the Bible to working out, where you "have to get in the rhythm and learn how to move." For starters, he suggests youth leaders and teens should at least read the Sunday Mass readings, noting that if people did this for one month prior to Mass, they would "be amazed at how Mass comes to life."
Reading these Scriptures, he added, does far more than just impact the Mass.
"It will change your life," he said.

Hal Gill has had quite a year. A trade from Montreal to Nashville, a new two-year contract with the Predators, and surgery on his leg. Oh, and that playoff series against the Coyotes? He did that on a broken leg. The leg that ended up needing surgery. Yes, you can actually play hockey on a broken leg if you load it up with enough anesthetic. It also helps if you're a badass, which Hal Gill apparently is.
Hal Gill's leg vs. Sheldon Souray
On April 5th the Predators played their second-last game of the regular season against the Dallas Stars. If you weren't paying attention, that's the team that signed every single available free agent this summer, and then a few extra guys for good measure. In that game Hal Gill blocked a Sheldon Souray shot, which isn't anything special for a guy who finished in the top 20 shot blockers in the league. The unusual thing about that particular shot was that it found a way through his pads and broke his leg. The unusual thing about that broken leg is that he didn't realize it was broken for a while. Usually that's the sort of thing that's pretty obvious.
How the hell do you not know your leg is broken?
Your don't know your leg is broken if you have a set of normal x-rays. Here's the thing about broken bones. They're sneaky little buggers. That's why when you have x-rays for a suspected fracture they'll generally do at least two views of the area in question – what looks normal from one angle may look pretty obviously messed up from another. And sometimes despite the radiologist's best efforts, particularly sneaky fractures may not show up on x-ray until a week or two later. The sneakiest of the sneaks are the fractures that are closed (no bone poking through the skin) and non-displaced (as in all the bone is still lined up where it belongs).
Gill's first set of x-rays were normal, and so he assumed he just had a bad bruise. He missed the Detroit series, but was back for the Phoenix series on a fractured tibia that was caught on a second set of films.
Meet your tibia.
The tibia is the larger of the two bones in your lower leg, and it's the one that bears the weight. That's why the other bone (the fibula) can be harvested to replace bone in other places, like Ray Emery's bum hip.
Being the larger of the two bones and the bearer of the weight makes you a pretty big deal. Being half of the knee joint and a large portion of the ankle makes you an even bigger deal. So how does a guy play five hockey games on a brroken big deal bone like the tibia? BADASSERY. And also drugs.
You too can play on a broken leg!
Gill played in the Phoenix series with his right ankle anesthetized, meaning he had something injected into that joint to keep the screaming pain at bay. Bupivacaine is a likely culprit, as it's similar to the lidocaine your dentist uses to freeze your mouth for fillings, but lasts much longer (about three hours). Why freeze the joint? Remember what I said about the tibia making up a large portion of the ankle? Take another look at the picture above. By "large" I mean most. and by "most" I mean "hey remember what I said about the fibula not doing much?". Gill was likely the proud owner of a distal tibia fracture (down near the ankle). There are a few options for anesthetizing that area, including injecting anesthetic into the area directly around the bottom of the tibia itself, or injecting directly into the joint. I've had my wrist joint injected, and I'm confident in saying that I easily could have punched a shark in the face, won an arm wrestling contest, climbed a telephone pole one-handed, and played a full 18 holes of golf with a wrist that felt like it was full of ground glass mere minutes before (Note: I did none of these things). That first option of injecting around the tibia itself is similar to a technique I absolutely love called a hematoma block. When a fracture is displaced and needs to be set (realigned), it can really, really hurt the patient to have you yanking on it. A hematoma block involves injecting the area of bleeding around the fracture (yes, bones bleed) with anesthetic. It sounds awful, and it is, but it works. You stuff the needle in until you hit bone, and you inject a whole bunch of anesthetic in there. That initial bone-hit is a bitch, but once the lidocaine (bupivicaine, etc) gets in there, the patient is handing you vials in the hope you'll keep going (not really, but it does make the fracture feel better).
So how do you actually fix a broken ankle?
If you're lucky and nothing is displaced and you're not an NHL player, you may just end up in a cast or a cam walker boot. Like every other orthopedic accessory I've ever looked up, the cam boot is available on Amazon (of course). Depending on your fracture and your orthopedist, you could be on crutches not allowed to bear weight, you may be weight-bearing as tolerated, or you may be stomping happily around in your boot waiting for the okay to finally take that smelly thing off. You can get cam boots with an adjustable angle at the ankle, with internal air bladders for padding, of varying heights, and with varying numbers of straps. The common thread is that each and every last one of them will be disgusting after six weeks of wearing it everywhere except in your bed and your shower. Enjoy!
If you're not lucky or you're Hal Gill, you have surgery on your ankle (after finishing up a playoff series against the Coyotes). This is our old friend the ORIF (open reduction – internal fixation), although if your fracture isn't displaced there's not really any OR and just a whole lot of IF. If you're really, really not lucky you could break the tibial shaft, and end up with an intramedullary nail (aka an IM nail – a big rod through the bone) and spend the next four to six months healing it.
Ankle surgery: The bits and pieces are kind of pretty.
While you might think you need a gigantic incision on your leg to make room for plates, the good news is that minimally invasive bone plating is possible, and it works. A small incision is made, and the surgeon shoves a "bullet tipped" plate up in there. The plate's tip is somewhat pointy (hence bullet-tipped), which allows it to slide under the muscle up against the bone. Then through a combination of voodoo and luck*, they know where the other end is, cut a little hole, and screw it down. Then they screw down the rest of the plate, close the hole, and send you and your boot to physical therapy**.
* They actually use special sizing guides that show the plate length on the outside of the leg, and intraoperative x-ray. Voodoo just sounds a lot cooler.
** This is obviously a massive oversimplification. Going into vivid detail would bore us all to death, and that's why we should all be glad there are people who enjoy that sort of thing and really, really want to be orthopedic surgeons.
The plates come in a variety of shapes and colours depending on who makes them, and what part of the bone the're meant for.
Once your plates are in place and you're out of surgery you may get lucky and have a surgeon who gives you your post-op x-rays. These are great at parties, so always ask for a set if you have orthopedic surgery.
Rehabbing a broken leg sucks.
Welcome to the world of physical therapy, stinky cam boots, and not playing hockey for a while. A month or two is going to be what you'll need to heal that fracture (unless you got an IM nail, in which case seeya next season). Gill is reportedly set to start skating soon, so if you're counting (which you're not because I did it for you because that's how much I care about you) he's about three months out from surgery. As far as the hardware is concerned, it should stay in there forever. Sometimes they'll take it out, but that's generally only in cases of infection, if the bone didn't heal right, or if any part of the hardware has managed to work its way partway out (which is super gross).
The upshot of all this is that Hal Gill is tougher than you, he had a really good excuse for being slow in the Phoenix series, he should be good to go for the beginning of the season, and you should follow him at @skillsy75 on the tweets, because you never know when he'll post a gem like this:
