Review by
Semi Professional from Simsboro, LA
I have used my SD cards for several months, I trusted to use them when I went on a Nature Photography Shoot in North Carolina. Why did my card go bad and most times it is because they used there PC to delete the card. Always delete your card using your camera and they should last a very long time. I will purchase from this company again.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Nice to hear from you. I'm currently in Mogadishu, and there are a lot of
interesting things going on here. A contact we have who knows the
security situation very very well told us the Shabaab pull out really is a
sign of how they've been weakened. He said Amisom was able to get the
jump on them as they were grouping up for a more organized offensive than
Shabaab is typically known for. He said Shabaab is more effective when
they engage in asymmetrical warfare. Compared it to the fight against the
Viet Cong.
Also said today's NY Times article is right on the mark
... and that the CIA really is more involved still than they'll admit.
Said 14 agents, informants etc killed this year, which doesn't happen if
you don't have boots on the ground.
I can't confirm any of that, but thought it interesting to mention.
Didn't pay much attention to Jill Biden. As for drought in Kenya -- it's
the exact same ecological conditions causing famine in Somalia, the
difference is governance. Kenya seems to be handling it pretty well.
Some reports of deaths from malnutrition in Turkana district.
Logistically, they are not doing a great job of getting food to people who
need it. Also, in addition to having the world's largest refugee camp,
Kenya still has the world's largest slum -- Kibera in Nairobi. I went
there, people were upset about the rising cost of food, and unlike Dadaab
you don't have a whole lot of international aid, or sympathy, for
slum-dwellers. It's a story I'm certainly interested in telling.
Let me know if you have any ideas for me out here in Mogadishu. Probably
getting an interview with the Prime Minister tomorrow.. what would you ask
All best,

Dear Gabe:
Hello again, I hope you've been well since we talked last week. Since
then, a few developments within al Shabaab, like the pullback from
Mogadishu and the replacement (though not fully confirmed) of the al
Shabaab emir Godane by al-Afghani. Still a few issues I'm trying to track
down there.
Separately, I wanted to get your take on the famine/drought; we've seen
the impact on al Shabaab, but how about Kenya? How did things go with Jill
Biden's visit (in case that was on your docket)?
Thanks again.

Apparently willing to ignore the reprisal atrocities perpetrated by RPF forces against civilians across the country between 1995 and 1998, Bill Clinton and Tony Blair have publicly led the defense of Kagame's team as visionary reconciliators.
The unwillingness of outside actors to critically examine their wishful thinking about Rwanda has historically proved embarrassing. But it's also led to terrible mistakes, including the inability to prevent the genocide that killed at least 800,000 people.
However, the problem is not just that Rwanda has been imagined as a non-existent African Shangri-La. It's also that some armchair critics have often gone so over the top in demonizing the RPF – seldom based on any thorough, on-the-ground research – that the movement handily dismisses essentially legitimate concerns as baseless accusations. One Rwandan diplomat called the leaked UN report "an amateurish NGO job."
Blaming Kagame
It was once mandatory to demand "empathy" for the war-ravaged country's authoritarian government. Today it is becoming fashionable among some to blame the regime – and Kagame himself – for almost all Central Africa's wrongs. Desiring to denounce the RPF as the brilliantly evil organization "you love to hate," too many commentators are now recklessly amalgamating charges of human rights violations, corruption, and bad policy.
Some are coming dangerously close to embracing revisionism about the 1994 crimes, too.

Old is the new... well, new it would seem by current trends in television. Hot on the tails of Betty White's upcoming appearance on Saturday Night Live is a new reality show about nine retirees living in a gated community in Arizona called Sunset Daze. Ranging in ages from 61 to 74, the senior citizens of this show are trying out some new leases on life, from dating to sky diving.
This has the potential to be as bad as any reality show about rich people with too much time, but perhaps the age factor will add a fresh, interesting perspective on the bland, barren wasteland that is reality TV. And if the show is anything like the previews, which at one point shows all of the women delightfully exclaiming, "battery operated boyfriend!" then it won't be a total loss. It premieres on Friday on WEtv, and you can check out the preview below:

I am very pleased that we have successfully concluded negotiations that will result in our receiving what we wanted all along from the beginning of our investigation into UBS. We will be receiving an unprecedented amount of information on taxpayers who have evaded their tax obligation by hiding money offshore at UBS. I want to thank the Swiss Government for their cooperation in reaching an unprecedented agreement and their commitment to working with us to implement the terms of this agreement.
This is no mere keyhole into the hidden world of bank secrecy. This agreement represents a major step forward with the IRS's efforts to pierce the veil of bank secrecy and combat offshore tax evasion. It's an historic development in our international efforts, and it helps build a solid foundation for addressing future offshore issues.
This agreement sends an unmistakable message to people hiding income and assets offshore. The IRS will vigorously pursue tax cheats around the world, no matter how remote or secret the location. And we will work with other governments where possible to obtain the information we need. Wealthy Americans who have hidden their money offshore will find themselves in a jam.
This is a sound agreement that is good for the nation's taxpayers. The agreement puts in place an apparatus for the IRS to obtain information on thousands of offshore accounts. Further the Swiss government is prepared to work with us regarding similar U.S. requests, if any, involving other financial institutions.
For anyone with hidden offshore assets, the IRS wants to send a clear message. There is still time – although the clock is ticking - to come in and get right with the government. People with unreported offshore income should immediately contact their tax professional.
As part of this agreement, the bank will be sending notices to account holders that their information is going to be provided to the IRS. The IRS wants to highlight two important points for these bank customers:
I believe this agreement gives us what we wanted – access to information about those UBS accountholders most likely to have been involved in offshore tax evasion.
In essence, we short-circuited a protracted summons and litigation process by culling the accounts to those that were of the greatest interest to us. These are the accounts we most want to and will pursue. Working together with UBS and the Swiss Government, we established a process that all parties expect will provide the account information on an expedited basis. And we retain our right to resume summons enforcement if these efforts fail and we do not receive what the agreement outlines.
For as long as our income tax has been in place, we and other taxing jurisdictions have not been able to gain access to account information of people hiding assets and income in countries with bank secrecy laws. Between this agreement, the deferred prosecution agreement, and other sources including our voluntary disclosure program, we will gain access to more than 5,000 Swiss bank accounts at UBS alone. It is hard to pinpoint exactly how much was held in the accounts that we will get as part of this agreement, because they moved around over time. According to the bank, these accounts held over $18 billion at one point in time.
This is a huge step forward for the United States in our efforts to combat offshore tax evasion. The IRS wants to be clear on another point. International tax evasion will continue to be a top priority. This issue is not going away, and people hiding assets and income offshore will find themselves increasingly at risk due to our efforts in this area.
International enforcement is a top priority for the Treasury Secretary and me. The President has put forward a bold package of legislative proposals and increased resources for the IRS in FY 2010 budget.
Let me address the 52,000 number that has been floating in media reports. This is a number reported by UBS as all of their accounts with any U.S. connection. Many of these accounts were held by U.S. people who had complied with the law and paid their taxes. Said another way, we were never interested in pursuing 52,000 accounts and this was never an IRS number. Remember, we filed this lawsuit when the Swiss government was taking the position that we could not have access to any of these accounts. That posture changed in the past month and we were able to gain access to the accounts we wanted.
From the start of my tenure as commissioner, improving international tax compliance by large corporations and high-wealth individuals has been a priority of mine and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and President Obama. We approached this in two ways. First, we need to address the abuse that has been going on for many years. And then we need to prevent abuse going forward.
This agreement does both. Thousands of taxpayers will be brought into compliance. And the deterrent effect of these cases and the other investigations that we have underway as well as our continued and vigorous focus on this going forward will help to prevent offshore noncompliance in the years ahead.
As this agreement demonstrates, the world of international taxes has dramatically changed, and people hiding assets and income offshore and from the IRS need to get right with the government now.

When I arrived this morning I was treated to an email from J2. Inside said email was a recipe for Guinness ice cream, that he had found on hungrymonster.com. Num num. If you haven't yet had your fill of Guinness from St. Patrick's Day celebrations this weekend, I suggest you give this a try.
Guinness Stout Ice Cream (Two 1-cup servings)
3 egg yolks
2 tbsp sugar
1 c milk
2 tbsp heavy cream
1 pt Guinness (reduced)
In a saucepan, bring the pint of Guinness to a boil and let it reduce to about half to concentrate the flavor. Set this aside. In a separate bowl, whip the egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick. Set aside.
In another saucepan, bring the milk and cream to a boil. Pour the boiling milk mixture over the yolks, whisking continuously. Return to saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens just enough to coat a spatula. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
Pass milk mixture though a fine chinos strainer or two layers of cheesecloth. Cover loosely and quickly place in an ice bath. Whisk in the Guinness reduction. Place mixture into a churn or an ice cream machine and follow manufacturer's instructions.
Thanks to J2 for finding and passing along this recipe. I can't wait to try it myself - I may even try it with some Southern Tier Imperial Choklat Stout for a heavier chocolate flavor. If you're looking for a sweeter Guinness ice cream recipe, check out this one.

Megadeth main man Dave Mustaine has switched to Cleartone Monster strings. The California-based string manufacturer will release a signature set of .010-to-.052 gauge strings that pays tribute to Mustaine.
Megadeth's Dave Mustaine was joined by a host of famous friends this past Friday, July 12, when Gigantour rolled into Dallas, Texas.
With his monolithic chops and die-hard work ethic, Broderick has emerged as the scariest monster shredder on the planet. As he makes clear in the above quote, Broderick has a deep respect for both music and musical performance and has pushed himself relentlessly in the pursuit of technical proficiency and musical freedom. No less an authority than Dave Mustaine calls Broderick "the greatest guitar player Megadeth has ever had."
In the following video, Guitar World's Paul Riario looks at the new Dean Dave Mustaine Zero Angel of Deth II, the latest signature model from Megadeth's iconic guitarist.
Megadeth will release their new album, Super Collider, June 4. In anticipation, the band has unveiled a new track from the record, titled "Kingmaker." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments.
The all-new June 2013 issue of Guitar World magazine is available now! This month's cover stars are none of than Dave Mustaine and Chris Broderick of Megadeth!
In the Revolver TV video, Megadeth's Dave Mustaine discusses the band lineup for Gigantour 2013, which kicks off July 3 in New Hampshire and ends August 11 in Toronto.
Megadeth are streaming the title track from their new album, Super Collider, over at their YouTube page, MegadethTV.
He's the former Megadeth guitarist who now has a thriving solo career in Japan. But what Guitar World readers really want to know is...
It's no surprise that a signature model guitar designed by Megadeth lead guitarist Chris Broderick and Jackson Custom Shop master builder Mike Shannon is a lean-and-mean shred machine. However, the Jackson Chris Broderick Soloist 6 is packed with so many ergonomic and performance enhancements that players who aren't into Megadeth or even metal in general should check it out as well.

With Friday's release of "Sparkle," a remake of the 1976 movie musical, we'll get to see the final film appearance from Whitney Houston, a full six months after her death. It joins a sad yet enduring legacy of posthumous performances. Some of these are unfortunate curtain calls for the actors and actresses involved, but many have become classics, earning plaudits and praise the artists never got to hear. A couple — Peter Finch in "Network" and Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight" — even went on to win Oscars.
Pay tribute to those who were gone before the last reel unspooled by viewing our gallery of movies that came out after their stars fell.
Whitney Houston's daughter gets tattoo in mom's honor
Whitney Houston's teenage daughter commemorated her mom's birthday on Thursday by getting a tattoo in the late singer's memory.
Bobbi Kristina Brown, the superstar's daughter with Bobby Brown, visited a tattoo shop in Atlanta late on Wednesday – ahead of what would have been her mother's 49th birthday – to have the initials WH and four doves inked on her wrist.
She took to Twitter to tell followers about her plans for the poignant day, writing, "Mommy it's your birthday & I am going 2 celebrate it 2 the fullest! Bc YOU deserve it damn it, YOU deserve Nothing but the BEST!"
The 19-year-old's boyfriend Nick Gordon, who was informally adopted by Houston when he was 12, had the same tribute tattooed on his wrist, and Bobbi Kristina tweeted a photo of their matching designs for fans.
She added, "Tat tat tatted … now your (sic) truly ALWAYS with us mommy … We love you always & forever … rip mommy. Oh how I love u so; I'll NEVER Let U GO."
R&B singer Brandy also remembered the late "I Will Always Love You" singer with a post on Twitter, writing, "Happy Birthday to the GREATEST VOICE OF ALL TIME!! Whitney Houston, you are the dream!!! You are the inspiration!! You are MY ANGEL!"
Jordin Sparks, who stars alongside Houston in upcoming movie Sparkle, adds, "Happy Birthday Whitney! I can't wait 4 (sic) everyone to see you Sparkle on August 17! I love you & miss you so much!"
Houston died on February 11 at a hotel in Beverly Hills.
Jordin Sparks isolated herself after Whitney Houston's death
Singer/actress Jordin Sparks cut herself off from friends for two months after the death of her "Sparkle" co-star Whitney Houston as she struggled to come to terms with the devastating news.
The "No Air" hitmaker grew close to Houston while shooting the new rags-to-riches story last year (and Sparks was preparing to hit the red carpet with the soul superstar at Clive Davis' pre-Grammys party in Hollywood in February when the icon was found dead in her Beverly Hills hotel room.
Recalling the horror of the night Houston died, she says, "I was about to go change into my dress and there was a knock on the door. It was my publicist, who told me, 'Whitney's gone.' I said, 'What do you mean? Did she leave the hotel already?' And she said, 'No – Whitney's passed.'
"I was so shocked I couldn't even move. I didn't know what to do. I didn't go to the Grammys (pre-party) that night, and I canceled a lot of appearances after that. I didn't want people asking me about her. I just didn't think it was my place to say anything."
Sparks isolated herself for weeks as she mourned the tragic loss, and she admits she is full of sympathy for Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina and her mum Cissy as they continue to deal with the legend's passing.
She tells the New York Daily News, "I ended up being secluded; I cut myself off for a couple of months. I was just crying, I was so devastated. And I'd only known her for the two months we worked together. I can't imagine how her family and friends who had known her for a long time felt. She was very loved."
"I was somebody who had listened to Whitney's music and tried to emulate her. So to get to work with her in this intimate setting, to do scenes where we were yelling at each other, and then holding hands with her… I just loved her."
MC Hammer urged to marry Whitney Houston
Rapper MC Hammer was encouraged to marry Whitney Houston by her father.
The "U Can't Touch This" hit maker was at the Super Bowl in 1991 when he was pulled aside by the superstar's dad John Russell Houston, Jr.
John attempted to play matchmaker and hook his daughter up with MC Hammer, but the hip-hop star let him down gently as he was already a married man.
MC Hammer tells entertainment series "In the Mixx," "Whitney's dad pulled me and Whitney in a room and said, 'You know, Hammer, you should really consider marrying Whitney.' And, I said, 'I'd love to but I'm already married.'
"I love my wife dearly but, I always laughed about that. Always a big fan of Whitney. I loved Whitney and miss her dearly."
MC Hammer married his wife, Stephanie Fuller, in December 1985.
Kevin Costner finished Whitney Houston tribute on the way to funeral
Actor Kevin Costner was still writing the memorial speech he delivered Whitney Houston's funeral an hour before his "The Bodyguard" co-star was laid to rest in her native New Jersey.
The star shunned all requests to comment on Houston's passing following her sudden death in February, because he didn't feel the time or the "forum" was right to open up about his close friendship with his "The Bodyguard" co-star.
But Costner ultimately mustered up the courage to put his feelings into words for the tragic superstar's funeral service after her cousin Dionne Warwick called in a favor.
And now the 57 year old has opened up about his struggles to find the right words for the emotional speech, admitting he was forced to pull over on his way to the ceremony to wrap up his tribute at a local park.
He tells People magazine, "I was nervous. I wrote it up to the last hour before going into church. I didn't realize so many people felt the need to hear from me. I had to think long and hard about what I wanted to say.
"My wife (Christine Baumgartner) and I pulled off to the side of the road and went to a park to finish it."
Ray J drama at the Billboard Music Awards
Whitney Houston's former on/off boyfriend Ray J was reportedly asked to leave the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday after members of the late singer's family spotted him sitting near her daughter Bobbi Kristina.
The soul man-turned-reality TV star was just as stunned as Houston's sister-in-law and former manager Pat Houston when he discovered his seat at the ceremony was just behind the family.
But, while he was happy to stay, Houston reportedly insisted he was not welcome in that section of the audience.
TV and radio presenter Billy Bush claims eight uniformed cops were called to the MGM Grand Garden Arena to ask Ray J to move, but when the family was told the singer was unwilling to comply and that a physical ejection would create unnecessary drama on a night that featured an emotional tribute to the "I Will Always Love You legend," Houston agreed he could stay.
The pre-show drama was overshadowed by the tragic superstar's tribute, performed by Jordin Sparks and John Legend, and Bobbi Kristina's emotional acceptance speech as she stepped onstage to claim her mother's Millennium Award.
Whitney Houston's family to star in new reality show
Whitney Houston's teenage daughter Bobbi Kristina and notoriously-private mother Cissy are set to star in a new family reality show.
The "Houston Family Chronicles" will center around the "I Will Always Love You" legend's former manager and sister-in-law Pat Houston, but the program will also feature appearances by 19-year-old Bobbi Kristina, gospel star Cissy Houston, the tragic icon's cousin Dionne Warwick and Grammy winner CeCe Winans.
The project, which was confirmed on Friday by Houston family representative Kristen Foster, will air on Lifetime, according to the Associated Press. A premiere date has not yet been set.
The superstar, who died in February, famously starred in Bravo TV's 2005 reality series "Being Bobby Brown," alongside her then-husband Bobby Brown.
Bobby Brown: 'I'm not the reason Whitney Houston's gone'
Bobby Brown has urged critics to stop blaming him for his ex-wife Whitney Houston's drug troubles and tragic death, insisting he's "not the reason she's gone."
The New Edition star has long been targeted by fans and members of the media who felt sure he was the man behind Houston's fall from grace, which many believe led to her demise in February.
But, speaking out in his first interview since her passing, Brown claims the singer was using illegal substances "way before" they started dating, and maintains he never tried narcotics before he wed the "I Will Always Love You" hitmaker in 1992.
In a candid chat with "Today" show host Matt Lauer, Brown, who has been sober for seven years, says, "I didn't get high (on narcotics) before I met Whitney. I smoked weed, I drank the beer, but no, I wasn't the one that got Whitney on drugs at all."
And Brown can't understand why critics want to pin her drug addiction issues on him: "It's just… it's just unexplainable how one could, you know, (say that I) got her addicted to drugs. I'm not the reason she's gone.
"It makes me feel terrible. But you know, I know differently. I think if anyone ever knew us, if anybody ever spent time around us instead of time lookin' through the bubble, they would know how we felt about each other. They would know how happy we were together."
The "My Prerogative" star also addresses the coroner's findings which named cocaine use as a contributory factor in her death from accidental drowning, revealing he had no idea his ex was still battling her drug demons.
He says, "I was hurt… because, you know, me being off of narcotics for the last seven years (sic), I felt that she was (too)… I didn't know she was struggling with it still. But at the same time, you know, listen, it's a hard fight. It's a hard fight to maintain sobriety that way."
Brown adds that Houston was the picture of good health when he saw her days before her death: "(She) had this glow about her that was just incredible. I'm saying to myself, 'She must be doing really well,' because she looked really well."
The full interview is due to air on Wednesday.
Whitney Houston 911 call released: 'Dispatcher couldn't reach assistant'
The emergency service official who first heard Whitney Houston had been found unconscious in her Beverly Hills hotel suite was unable to get vital information to the woman who called for help because she kept hanging up on hotel staff.
The 911 call from Beverly Hilton security on the day the soul star died has been released and it appears the emergency operator couldn't get through to Houston's room to relay CPR instructions directly to the singer's assistant because she refused to stay on the phone long enough.
In the released audio, the dispatcher asks if he could be patched through to the woman in the room. The security official says, "No, because she keeps hanging up on us."
The 911 call's release comes on the same day as news confirming the Beverly Hills Police Department's investigation into Houston's death is now closed.
A statement reads: "Based on the findings of our investigation and our review of the coroner's report, we have determined that this is not a criminal matter."
Houston, 48, died of accidental drowning with cocaine use and heart disease contributing to her death.
Whitney Houston's autopsy report released
Whitney Houston's assistant found the singer "lying face down" in a bathtub in her suite at the Beverly Hilton hotel, according to the newly released full-autopsy report.
Released on Wednesday, the official findings also reveal details of the drugs found in the Los Angeles hotel room at the time of Houston's death on February 11.
The L.A. County coroner has already ruled that Houston's passing was an accidental drowning with the "effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use" as contributing factors as part of a preliminary report released last month.
The new document states investigators found a white, crystalline substance and spoon with residue on a bathroom counter and "a rolled-up piece of white paper, along with other miscellaneous items."
Remnants of "a white, powdery substance" were also found on the base of a portable mirror, according to the autopsy report.
Investigators have concluded that Houston "possibly overdosed on a narcotic substance, prescription medications, over the counter medications and alcohol."
Reports suggest she also had traces of marijuana in her system, as well as anxiety pills Xanax and allergy medication Benadryl.
Officials say there were no signs of foul play.
Houston died hours before she was set to attend her mentor and friend Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy Awards party at the hotel.

I like food, but not fast food.
I like pizza, but Papa's Pizza is the overall best. My boyfriend and I flew to Chicago (one main reason was to get pizza) and we were let down. Chicago's "World Famous Stuffed Pizza" (Giordano's) definitely got pwned by Eugene's Papa's Pizza.
My favorite foods are (not in order) oatmeal, peanut butter, ice cream Papa's Pizza, and belgium waffles are probably in there too.
I like baking and cooking.
My famous dishes are deviled eggs and walnut crisp cookies.
My favorite restaurant is Laughing Planet.

"I got this recipe from The Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cooking, Vol. 8. A great way to use fresh peaches!"
Serving Size: 1 (3632 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 1
"Very good! This will be great on toast all winter. Didn't set very solidly, and I didn't have the whole spices so I just used a very little bit of the ground version of the spices. Can't wait to break open a jar!"
"Just made this jam and it's quite good however there are a few changes I would suggest;

Please note the default receipe makes a lot of jam, you may want to scale it back by 1/3 or so.
Also since it does not use pectin it is not a thick stand on it's own jam, it's more like real jam. Great for morning toast, not PBJ's.

I would suggest using more peaches and less blueberry as the blueberry seems to overpower the peach flavor a bit too much. I may even go so far to just use 1/2 the amount of the blueberries and just make up for the reducing of the blueberries by adding more peach.

I also added real vanilla bean to mine, one bean, split scrapped and added. Yummy!"
"Really yummy! It was a great way to make use up the leftover canning peaches and some of our smaller blueberries. I did use a liquid pectin to set it firm. It's delicious and will be nice to give away in the gift baskets. Thanks for sharing."
"What a great jam! This is the reason we make our own - you simply can't buy anything like this in a store! People either hate this kind of spicing with fruit, or love it, and of course we love it. This is now a staple jam with us and so I'll always have a batch of it on hand. I actually used a package of pectin and still found it thinner than most, but it still spreads and holds fine. One thing I especially like is that it's not so sweet like most jams, so you can pile it on more and really take in that great fruity flavor. Thanks so much for sharing this gem of a recipe!"

A hard-to-find Loretta Chase is on Amazon for $2.99 digitally. I don't know who "NYLA" is as a publisher, but with the square cover art and the artistic style of the image, I'm wondering if Chase self-published this book. Anyone know?
First out of the gate in News From My Tweetstream From BEA was Kobo's announcement of a new ereader with a touch screen, selling for $129 and available next month ("in time for Father's Day") at many retailers including Indigo, Best Buy, WalMart and Borders.
I've been waiting to see what the new Kobo will look like, because I'm curious about how it will work, especially since I am wondering if a different reader will lure me away from Kindle III ("Motto: easy to load books, crap-ass organization.") Kobo has user-created collections, and some dexterity in loading files that might appeal to me, and I adore how much of their data they like to share and talk about at conferences. I'm going to try to go fondle one at BEA this week.
From the Department of Backhanded Compliments, comes this article about summer reading wherein writer Allison Dempsey has the following recommendation for Alyssa Day's upcoming novel:
If you have no shame in your literary taste and want to combine as many ridiculous genres as possible: "Vampires in Atlantis" by Alyssa Day.
Historical romance, smutty sex scenes, bloodsucking creatures and a disappearing city: What more could you ask for in terms of a self-indulgent read? Might want to go the Kindle route with this one, though, to avoid being judged in public. (Available June 7.)
WOW. I'm actually stumped on how to come up with a more insulting recommendation. Any ideas on how you could insult a book more while recommending it?

Dear Juanita
I was unable to get an email for Dr Neely. Happy to contact though.
Kind regards
Dear Juanita
Thanks for your welcome, much appreciated. All of this is a new experience for me!! I hope that with the help of World Cafe my hope that clinical ethics will indeed become democratised to the extent that clinical ethics will indeed be everyone's business rather than being considered an abstruse, complex set of ideas.
Kind regards
Juanita! Thank you for welcoming me into the online community. I appreciate your confidence in me but I can't commit at the moment to hosting the Wiser Together group. I'll keep you and Amy updated as things change for me. So glad to be here!
Thank you for your welcoming!
Greetings from Italy
Thank you so much, Juanita! How wonderful to hear from you! I think the work you (and many of us) are doing is getting more and more important! I look forward to hearing more! I'm moving into a cohousing here in Santa Cruz and I want us to be a leader in the community bringing people together to explore ideas of collaboration and inclusiveness and the world cafe approach is perfect. (www.walnutcommons.org) I've also done some work with David Shaw at his Common Ground Center at UCSC.
It wasn't a direct mention, I was reading an article which linked out to another and in that I found a link to the main site. Kind of a long way around but that's how I found you guys ;)
Lovely Juanita! Thank you for your warm welcoming!
I'm so happy to be in this community of great people
I'm so eager to learn, share and exchange
Best Wishes and Greetings from Greece
Thanks Juanita. I'll read it for sure [the article]. Nice to see que puedes hablar español tambien.
Thanks, Juanita & David! Dottie is my wife and partner! And yes, Don and I began working with the cafe as an AI Summit in 2004 with one of the Santa Barbara homeless shelters. We had such tremendous success that I continue to use the learning from that first cafe with my students. In particular, we had some great examples of the impact of working with the whole system in the room. And, yes, there are a number of our Leadership students who, I am sure, would be interested in writing about their experiences with the cafe! Yes, I am happy to take this offline with you! Best wishes, Niels

All new power packed fashion garb is a true recreation that was abstracted from the famous Japanese animated action movie "Akira" released back in 1988. Shotaro Kaneda is the lead character and the head of the motorcycle gang entitled as "The Capsules" has worn this Red Leather Jacket. We use premium quality sheepskin leather which re energizes the shine and texture in this costume. This Akira Leather Jacket is an attributed token of memento for you.
Ricky D. Arnold
I purchased this jacket a few weeks back. It is fitting really well and have no issues with it besides the fact that I received it late, but I think that usually happens. I reviewed this jacket now because it just saved my life and I had to thank the makers of this jacket. I was riding the bike the other day with this jacket, and suddenly a car came in front of me from nowhere so I turned my bike suddenly to save both lives, but the bike slipped, and I fell off the bike, I was hurt on my knee, but I wasn't anywhere else because of this jacket and the helmet I wore, a few scratches came on the jacket, but I was fine. The scratched has actually become a new fashion style and an evidence to this tale. So I suggest other bikers as well to try out this jacket as it is made up of strong leather.
Frank J. Garcia
i purchased this jacket for my younger brother who is crazy about bikes and as i imagined he went crazy as soon as he saw this jacket. i wore it to make him jealous and he did :D but what amazed me was that the jacket fitted both of us properly as i am a little taller than him. Thanks guys for your really good service.
Walter R. Watkins
I went through so many websites to find a different color jacket as i didn't want it in black, i finally found this one and really like it. the pockets just give the added benefit as i like jackets with pockets so i consider myself very lucky. i also suggest it to other bikers as it is worth the amount.

Seventeen checks out We the Kings!
With gigs like MTV's Spring Break, the Bamboozle Festival, and Warped Tour, it's no wonder everyone's calling them an up-and-coming band.
"It's better than being called 'down-and-leaving'," Clark said.
His first pinch me moment happened the morning of a show in Toronto. It was 10 degrees below zero and a line of concert-goers began forming at 11 a.m. Clark walked to the gas station across the street, assuming most of the fans in line were there for Cobra Starship. As soon as Clark walked outside, it was a chain reaction of screams. One person spotted him and yelled "TRAVIS!", sparking the rest of the adolescent screams.
"I feel like I'm living a dream," Thomsen said. "[It's] like one day I'll wake up and someone will jump out and say, 'HA! Just kidding!'"
So, what do you think of the band's music? Are We The Kings the next Jimmy Eat World?

We're in 10 normal, working on Lei Shen this week. Our Brewmaster (new to tanking at the start of MoP) wasn't enjoying the mechanics for his class, so he leveled and geared a Paladin. His Monk hit ilevel 515 last week, the Paladin had 2-3 weeks of LFR and we brought him for 2 kills on Jin'Rokh in the past (got a piece or two). Paladin is at ilevel 490 (really more like 494 because the two 476 PvP pieces have stats similar to 496 gear). He tanked all the way through Animus just fine. Went through the logs and compared performance:
HORRIDON KILL (length 9:03 on Monk fight, 8:43 for Paladin) Damage taken: 29.1M for Monk, 12.8M for Paladin Healing: 7.7M for Monk, 5.6M for Paladin Net heals required: 21.4M for Monk, 7.2M for Paladin DPS: 103.8k for Monk, 79.0k for Paladin JI-KUN KILL (length 7:10 for Monk, 6:17 for Paladin) Damage taken: 26.3M for Monk, 14.8M for Paladin Healing: 8.7M for Monk, 7.6M for Paladin Net heals required: 17.6M for Monk, 7.2M for Paladin DPS: 62.3k for Monk, 59.5k for Paladin DARK ANIMUS KILL (length 5:09 for Monk, 5:05 for Paladin) Damage taken: 20.5M for Monk, 13.6M for Paladin Healing: 4.0M for Monk, 5.2M for Paladin Net heals requires: 16.5M for Monk, 8.4M for Paladin DPS: 52.3k for Monk, 49.6k for Paladin Simply subtracting healing done from damage taken might not be the best measure of mitigation, but that aside it seems like in lesser gear the Paladin requires a LOT less healing. Overall the damage came with fewer spikes. In equal gear, I think the Paladin will take smaller hits, less total damage, do more healing, do more damage, and seems to have more cooldowns available (ability to wipe tank debuffs, etc). The only issue we ran into was he wasn't able to pick up bats on Tortos as easily (so we let him stay on the boss and had the DK grab them). Now maybe he was just a horrible Monk tank, and the Paladin toolkit suits him much better. I resisted suggestions that Paladins were that much better tanks than Monks, but after this week I'm starting to believe. |
1.) Paladins are a little strong now
2.) Most of it is probably him not being (as) good at his monk |
World of Logs records full hits, then puts absorbs in a separate area under damage taken. Since the Brewmaster mastery is an absorb, damage taken is going to look inflated, due to both recording the full hit, and the stagger ticks. (Which are a portion of the hit taken, not additional damage)
For example: Let's say your Brewmaster has 50% stagger, and takes a 500k hit without purifying it. World of Logs is going to record the full 500k hit, then the 250k stagger. The Monk's damage taken is going to say 750k, when that's much higher than the actual damage taken. A better way to look at aggregate damage taken is to look at healing taken, because I'm 100% positive that your Brewmaster's healing taken is nowhere near as high as what WoL is reporting his damage taken. I'm not going to refute that Paladins are the stronger tank this tier, but the gap in damage taken isn't that large, even with suboptimal play on his Monk. (I referenced http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1289724-Accurate-Dmg-Taken-from-WoL) |
World of Logs records full hits, then puts absorbs in a separate area under damage taken. Since the Brewmaster mastery is an absorb, damage taken is going to look inflated, due to both recording the full hit, and the stagger ticks. (Which are a portion of the hit taken, not additional damage That brings things a little closer to reality then. I'd assumed the absorb would have been ignored, with wiped Stagger being ignored too, or credited as both damage taken and healing done. It isn't as dire as the logs would seem then. I like unconventional approaches and kinda hoped he'd stick with the monk, but I think he's going to continue with his Paladin in the last tier. |
Paladins and Monks are both the super-OP tank classes this tier. Most of the reasoning behind Paladins being stronger has to do with clearing tank debuffs and bringing more raid utility (healing and raid cooldowns), not because of actual tanking/mitigation mechanics. On that front, you could argue both ways and in fact, Monks have clear advantages on some fights.
It may be entirely possible that he's just really, really comfortable with the Paladin toolkit and didn't enjoy or really like the Monk one. I'm pretty much the same way - I have a Brewmaster alt that's scratching ~500 ilvl and I have no intention of really raiding on it. If I had to swap mains, I'd probably just give up, because I'm not good at it and I doubt I ever will be. Brewmasters have good self-healing - it's just that one of the core ones is Gift of the Ox, which spawns little orbs on the ground to the sides of your toon and you have to actually strafe your toon to the sides to pick them up in order to heal yourself. It strikes me as silly and unnecessary. If you underuse or neglect that mechanic, then your other self-healing or absorb mechanics are not going to stack up at all. There are some other mechanics that seem a little less than intuitive to me, and probably may seem that way to him too. I'd talk to him about it rather than us, honestly. As far as the bats on Tortos - yeah that's not really easy as a Paladin, we have no way to get snap threat on things in the air. Taking Light's Hammer as a level 90 talent allows us to get a ground AoE in the spot where they're probably going to land (hopefully) but I honestly could not tank that on heroic without a skilled hunter in the raid. It would be completely, 100% impossible. |
Really wish they would do something about the clear discrepancy between prot paladins/brewmasters and the other tank classes in terms of raid utility. I'm sitting here watching my guild do Ra-den because our ret paladin is going prot for this fight. He brings so much more utility than I ever will on most fights.
warriors still take the least physical damage,dks still laugh at magic damage, bears cope best with multiple attackers, pallys deal with debuffs the best, and monks are the most mobile each has a role that they fit why do topics like this keep coming up tank balance is good
utility is something else entirely which each class brings without having to tank so leave it out of it warriors have ralling cry, banners,msr,demoshout dks have amz, aod,brez,chains bears brez, inervate,stampeding roar, symbiosis monks get black ox statue, rop,lvl 30 talent pallys get devaura,60,45,90,blessings so really pallys get 1 more monks get 1 less so how exactly is utility an issue
Edited by Rottinggoth on 5/23/2013 4:52 AM PDT
If you are comparing utility though you have to look at the strength of that utility. Take bears for instance. Brez is nice, and pretty strong. Innervate though is next to worthless. It regens 6k mana total on a 2-min cd. Stampeding Roar is ok if the raid has to move, but generally a few seconds of burst movement won't make or break anything. Symbiosis is pretty much a joke all around unless you happen to have a monk or DK in the group, which is a serious issue for 10-mans. Not saying bears are worthless, but comparing utility you need to look at the strength of that utility as well.
warriors still take the least physical damage,dks still laugh at magic damage, bears cope best with multiple attackers, pallys deal with debuffs the best, and monks are the most mobile each has a role that they fit why do topics like this keep coming up tank balance is good listing ring of peace as utility? really? it's only usefull on megaera. Some people say it works on some mobs of Horridon, but aoe stun does a much better job in that fight. Bress have a cap and is brought by several other classes in a raid group. Generally speaking, the tank's BRs is the last one you want to use. Army of the Dead as utility? ... on which fight? Chains of Ice as utility? ...... where? Everyone and their mother have slows. Or are you talking about wotlk Chains of Ice that did 90% slow and then lowered it's % over time? yeah .... it's not like that anymore. Symbiosis as raid utility for a bear? all he gets is defensive cooldowns or stuff to use on himself. And you don't bring tank A or B because he has 6 raid utilities and the other have 5. You bring tank A or B because of how good, whatever he brings, is on that fight. |
Your tank clearly does not understand Monk tanking. Glad he switched.
It's been my understanding that you can't stun Horridon mobs. I've tried both Leg Sweep and Ox Charge and all I get is Immune (x9 hits).
That said, I was casting Ring on my cotank after Dire Calls since I was on the boss the whole fight.
Edited by Meixie on 5/23/2013 10:19 AM PDT
Hah I expected the "bad monk" comments.
I'm the paladin in question that is switching from my Brewmaster. I'll tell you exactly why I am making the switch. Keep in mind that a lot of this is opinion based. Let me start out by saying that Brewmasters are more fun to play. They are good tanks, once geared to a certain point. At lower ilvls Brewmasters have relatively low HP and low haste which can cause "squishy" issues and discourage early monk tanks if they don't play perfectly. There definitely is a skill-cap for BrM, and I believe that I am fairly proficient with my monk. I don't have survival issues - quite frankly I feel almost un-killable at times. BrM has much better aoe threat capabilities and aoe damage. So here is my list: 1) Healing Taken/required My monk usually requires less healing taken on WoL meters than my other tank, but breaking it down tells a different story. Looking at my individual heal by actor stats, my healers actually have to heal me more then my co-tank, sometimes significantly more. But why? BrM self-healing is not as good as it sounds on paper. Expel Harm is good. Chi Wave and Zen Sphere are fairly good too. Self guard is situational. Gift of the Ox is not as good as it should be, in my opinion. It spawns randomly, and most fights don't allow for me to place them where I would want them. Magaera and Ji-kun are really the only ToT bosses in which I can reliably know where the spheres will collect at. Even then I have to decide if I want to step on the spheres now, or wait and bank them up for later. I think it needs some rework. Stagger is the second issue. Sure, more than half of my incoming physical damage is staggered, but it's not really "absorbed". The damage is still looming and will come over the next 10 seconds. So purify right? Sure, but I can't purify all the time. I simply can't. I can't generate enough chi fast enough to purify constantly while keeping up shuffle and guarding at the right times. So often stagger will tick, and I won't clear it until it gets to yellow and red levels. By then, I have taken good chunks of my staggered damage, which the healers would have had to heal. On my Paladin once damage is mitigated, it's gone. Nothing looming over the next 10 seconds, no having to plan out when exactly to purify it. Sacred Shield is just great, and my seal just heals me while I attack. 2) Raid Healing Black Ox Statue needs some work. I can see high healing numbers on logs for it, but when I actually go through the logs, I see a different story. For example, on Tortos my Black Ox Statue continually shielded the same 3 people over and over. Proc requirements also scale with vengeance, so getting more vengeance doesn't increase the frequency in which the shields proc unless I have a nice AOE situation, like Tortos or Lei Shen, but you see what happened on Tortos... Paladin? I don't even have to place a statue down. Vengeance? Increases healing output. 3) Quality of Life It really boils down to a QoL issue. I feel Paladins have the tools to handle more boss abilities in an easier manner. It's just easier and I feel I tax my healers less all while contributing to my raid more. I even bopped some Horridon stacks off my co-tank the other night and on Durumu because I could. Tank switch? I have the option to put a huge sacred shield on my co-tank while my vengeance is still high. Fine, call me a bad monk, I don't think I am. Tanking is not usually our issue during wipes. My healers aren't complaining about me. But now that they and I have seen the difference I don't regret switching... yet. Quite frankly, after playing BrW since MoP release, playing this Paladin is almost too easy... |
Damn you. Now I want to level up my 85 pally alt. (former main)
Easier to stay alive, easier to play, but not as much fun. Looking at your logs, you were doing just fine playing your monk, good uptime on things that mattered. This past week, I took this BrM into our normal 25 man, at 507 ilvl. We couldn't get past Tortos before I had to switch back to my paladin due to healing concerns. I just don't feel as safe on the BrM at our guilds level of play. |
It's been my understanding that you can't stun Horridon mobs. I've tried both Leg Sweep and Ox Charge and all I get is Immune (x9 hits). you can't stun the mobs that jump from audience (which is 3 per door) and the dinomancer. But all the other "small adds" that stream from the doors you can stun. in terms of cast, the only relevant casts in this fight is poison bolt volley. And you can mark the venon-priests before the fight starts (yes, they are right there in the audience, the 3 of them), and assign an interrupt to each .. since they only cast it every 15-20 sec. So it's basically Charging Ox Wave, which is usefull on every door to stun the little guys ... or RoP to silence the venon priests, which can (and should) be interrupted anyway. All in all, it boils down to personal preference .. I just rather have the stun. And personally, after the cooldown change I find Ox Wave to be much more usefull than Leg Sweep. Most of those aoe situations the mobs aren't exactly all around you .. and they are often kinda "spread" in front of you. So Ox Wave allows you to use it more often and have a much larger "area of effect". But anyway, calling RoP a raid utility (like the guy did) is a very big stretch. |
so a aoe disarm/silence in not utility now ok, i can feelz the bad brewing people lacking understanding of utility, apparently lowering a tanks incoming damage doesn't count, nor does mass add pick up and slow, and there was one tinsy thing i may have forgot to mention as with your tanking your utility has purpose or not fight dependent, ill give a couple of examples
amz was useful on feng, AoD i can see being useful on dark animus as with CoI, ghoul pick up dps takes them out if ghouls lose threat CoI to slow them on the way to deeps(givin you'll want chillbrians) i canahaz raid awarez, i think you might be forgetting symbiosis give a durad ability to like tranq to other classes as well might also like to point out that the utility doesn't have to be the tanks responsibility classes have skillz yo classes should be using the utility whenever its required doesn't have to be the tank doing it And you don't bring tank A or B because he has 6 raid utilities and the other have 5. You bring tank A or B because of how good, whatever he brings, is on that fight.you got it right on that, player not the class a good player will use there utility an average wont |

Who Has a Megaphone? Who Speaks in a Whisper?: Unequal Political Voice and the Broken Promise of American Democracy
While inequalities of income are currently in the spotlight, political inequality receives much less attention. A basic tenet of democracy is that the preferences and needs of all citizens should receive equal consideration. Political voice—expressed when citizens vote, get in touch with public officials, protest, join organizations that take stands in politics, make political contributions, or otherwise take part in political life—informs policy makers of citizen preferences and needs.
Policymakers do not hear from everybody, and the people and political organizations they do hear from are not representative of the American public. Those who express political voice, especially those who make financial contributions, are, on average, better educated and more affluent, and since the Supreme Court has taken the lid of campaign contributions, those with deep pockets are poised to speak even more loudly in politics. If political voice is unequal, then democratic equality is jeopardized.
Kay Schlozman is the J. Joseph Moakley Professor of Political Science at Boston College and author of The Unheavenly Chorus: Unequal Political Voice and the Broken Promise of American Democracy.

It was raining hard along the Pacific coast, so we turned back inland over some seriously twisted roads. The pint-sized Roadster fit perfectly on the narrow two lanes, leaving enough room to for the inevitable truck trundling along taking up all of his lane and part of ours.
The Roadster's braking capabilities are excellent, but curious. The electric motor that powers the Roadster immediately switches into a generator when you lift off of the accelerator pedal. When you lift, the car slows immediately due to the resistance of generator spinning to recharge the battery pack.
Apparently, one never coasts in a Tesla.
If you lift off the throttle completely, the braking force is significant, but powerful traditional four-wheel disc brakes are at the ready when serious stopping power is needed. In normal driving, however, the brakes are hardly needed, except to hold the Roadster still at traffic lights.
While handling and braking impress, the Roadster's throttle response bends the mind. Unless you've driven one of these, you've never experienced anything like it.
The Roadster's single electric motor produces the equivalent of 248 horsepower and an even more impressive 276 lb-ft of torque. The torque is available from 0 rpm (that's zero). The thrust is completely instant, linear, and uninterrupted.
The affect turned me into a road hooligan. In a car like the Elise SC, rowing the gears is essential to maximizing speed, so when running only 6/10th or so, there are many stretches where one wouldn't bother to grab a lower cog because it's just not worth the effort. In the Roadster, however, because no shifts are required, the hammer went down almost every time. The Tesla requires so little work to access speed that the power has a corrosive effect on one's ability to obey posted limits.
Tesla claims that the Roadster is good for 0-60 mph sprints of around four seconds. After putting several hundred miles on our tester, the claim feels more than reasonable, and easily matched by drivers of even modest skills.
While the Roadster's $101,500 MSRP is ridiculous, such cars will not remain so expensive forever. Furthermore, the driving experience will continue to improve, and issues of range will be conquered or worked around by owners.
If this is the future of cars, enthusiasts have nothing to worry about.
To date, Tesla Motors has already delivered more than 400 Roadsters, and has been recently bolstered by investment funds from Mercedes-Benz. We're told that a refundable $9,900 deposit secures a vehicle, but that the earliest delivery for an order placed now would be late this fall. Visit the company's Website at TeslaMotors.com.

Monti's La Casa Vieja has been serving steak lovers since 1956. Along the way, it's witnessed the city of Tempe evolve around it, while possibly nurturing its next leader.
The restaurant's owner, Michael Monti, is a candidate for mayor, running against Mark Mitchell, currently a Tempe city councilman, and Linda Spears, a certified public accountant who served on Tempe's city council herself from 1994-1998.
Monti cites his business background and private sector perspective as key qualifications in his run for the city's top elected spot.
He said he aims to run a smaller, yet smarter, government, and boost Tempe's economy by encouraging entrepreneurs to find new businesses in the city.
"I believe the experiences of 18 years of business gives me the type of vision it takes to improve the way that city government delivers services," Monti said.
A business mindset is favorable in today's government settings, said Chandler vice mayor Jeff Weninger. In addition to the seat he's held since 2006, Weninger owns of five restaurants of his own: Floridino's Pizza and Pasta in Chandler and four Dilly's Deli locations – two in Tempe, one in Chandler, and one in Scottsdale.
"My business experience makes me a more efficient councilman," Weninger said.
But a business background isn't always free of questions or controversy. In Monti's case, he's using the same logo for his campaign that he uses for the restaurant, located on Mill Avenue. That's something he admits might concern some voters.
"It did cross my mind that I could alienate some people," Monti said. "But everybody who has advised me about politics has told me that name recognition is invaluable, and I would be foolish not to borrow the name recognition from my business."
Monti said use of the same logo is not bothering the restaurant's staff and customers so far; his staff collected signatures to support his campaign, and the business got better.
"Nobody seems to be punishing me for this," Monti said.
Conflict of interest also has the potential to bite a businessman-turned-politician when voting on a something business-related that comes before the Council.
"If there's anything you are going to vote on that may possibly enrich you, there may be a conflict of interest," Weninger said.
But Weninger said he has not faced such situations often – only one or two cases, he estimates – in his six-year career on the Chandler City Council. So unless the conflict is obvious and irreconcilable, business owners-turned-politicians should still vote, he said.
The different nature of a small business and city government provides a challenge, too.
"He has a lot less people in the business to answer to," said Cindy Dach, co-founder with Monti of "Local First! Arizona," an organization that encourages residents to support local business.
As mayor, Monti said he would answer to all Tempe residents.
"When you are in the city, it's no longer your own business."
Unlike the flexible business environment, many ways of doing things are fixed in the government setting; the distinct routines can, for a business owner, be hard to adapt to, Weninger notes.
"Sometimes you are not the most popular person in the room," he added, "but you have to be loud and vociferous in your opinion."
Because of established procedures, government seemingly works inefficiently at times; as a result, citizens often look for innovative politicians who can help foster positive changes, Weninger said. This is what Goitia anticipates the most from Monti if he is elected Tempe's mayor.
"Whenever we say we've often done it this way, Michael says 'Challenge that thought'," said Goitia. "We need a true independent businessman."

For many, there is nothing more annoying than the tranquility of your home, being disrupted by a telemarketing call.
Starting Oct. 16, the Federal Communications Commission prohibits callers from using a prerecorded message to reach customers without their written consent.
There\'s nothing stopping all pesky robocalls from reaching phones, but some apps and number-blocking services can help.

light leak invasion
That's my first Leica film, and I'm really satisfied with the results. I always wanted to get light leaks and thought about buying an old cheap camera and just let it fall - how ironic, I found a light leak making camera in my house. The first film was great, but slowly I can't see these leaks anymore. Will try to mask my camera off, maybe there will be no more leaks.

It felt like a tennis ball hit me in the calf!

So I believe I'm developing early signs of insertional achilles tendinitis. It doesn't affect my performance on the court but when I shut it down, there's significant pain behind my heel. After dealing with post-play discomfort for a few months, I decided to shut it down completely and just let it heal. And here is my question:
I plan on doing as much RICE therapy for the next 2-3 weeks, just to get the inflammation to subside. Then your usual stretching and strengthening once the inflammation is gone. During my recovery, will cardio workout such as the elliptical and stationary bike hinder the healing of the achilles? And I'm going to assume running isn't going to help my cause.
In case you were wondering how I injured it, I wish I can recall a precise event, but I can't. I'm sure I took a hard and wrong step somewhere on the tennis court (probably on an stomp volley). What I can tell you is, it's my left achilles, and I'm a righty, so it's my landing foot when I serve.
Sorry to hear you are having problems.
As you undoubtedly know, inflammation is the first stage of healing. Indeed without inflammation, no healing will occur.
Inflammation represents that the greatest number of chemicals (cytokines) is present at the site to attract and activate the fibroblasts which will produce the protein strands that will heal the microscopic tendon tears that are likely present.
Pain is a side effect of those chemicals (cytokines) being present and irritating sensitive nerve endings.
(It is unclear if this is just coincidence or whether this evolved as a warning signal to our forebears that an injury was in the process of healing, and that decreased activity was needed to let the injury heal.)
RICE clearly improves the symptoms of pain and swelling.
Nerves don't conduct pain optimally at cold temperatures.
Compression clearly reduces swelling.
And it is clear that on occasion our immune system can run amuck and produce more inflammation at a site than will optimally lead to healing.
It is just hard to know in your situation if other than Rest, RICE really will alter the underlying inflammatory process in a productive way.
It takes many, many weeks for the protein fibers in connective tissue to interconnect and become really strong.
There is no foolproof way to know when exercise can begin, or how fast to advance our exercise level.
We tend to use pain as a guide - return of pain indicates inflammation is beginning again because of reinjury.
So sometimes it is two steps forward and one step backward.
The danger in a "go-getter" like you or Nadal is not to make it one step forward and two steps backward by doing too much exercise too soon.
At least you are doing the best thing now by resting, so that the process of healing can occur as straight forward as possible, instead undergoing multiple episodes of partial healing and tearing, partial healing and tearing that leads to fibrosis and tendon degeneration.
