Nailbed Injuries
nail avulsion image by Arteestique
Hey Preppers,
As much as we talk about major injuries on this website, mild injuries can be just as damaging to the effectiveness and efficiency of a member of your survival group. Although perhaps not as life-threatening as a gunshot wound or a fractured thighbone, nailbed injuries are common; they will be more so when we are required to perform carpentry jobs or other duties that we may not be performing on a daily basis now.
Types of Nailbed Injuries
Your fingernails and toenails are made up of protein and a tough substance called keratin, and are similar to the claws of animals. When we refer to issues involving nails, we refer to it as "ungual" (from the latin word for claw: unguis).
The nail consists of several parts:
The nail plate (body): this is the hard covering of the end of your finger or toe; what you normally consider to be the nail.
The nailbed: the skin directly under the nail plate. Made up of dermis and epidermis just like the rest of your skin, the superficial epidermis moves along with the nail plate as it grows. Vertical grooves attach the superficial epidermis to the deep dermis. In old folks like me, the nail plate thins out and you can see the grooves if you look closely. Like all skin, blood vessels and nerves run through the nailbed.
The nail matrix: the portion or root at the base of the nail under the cuticle (the cuticle is also called the eponychium) that produces new cells for the nail plate. You can see a portion of the matrix in the light half-moon (the "lunula") visible at the base of the nail plate. This is the germinal matrix (actively makes new nail cells) and determines the shape and thickness of the nail; a curved matrix produces a curved nail, a flat one produces a flat nail.
In a nail "avulsion", the nail plate is ripped away by some form of trauma. The nail may be partially or completely off, lifted up off the nailbed. Ordinarily, depending on the type of trauma, an x-ray would be performed to rule out a fracture of the digit; you won't have this available if modern medical care is not available, but you can do this:
- Numb the area by providing a digital block (see our recent article: http://www.doomandbloom.net/how-to-perform-a-digital-finger-block
- Clean the nailbed thoroughly with saline solution, if available, and irrigate out any debris. Paint with Betadine (2% Povidone-Iodine solution).
- Cover the exposed (and very sensitive) nailbed with a non-adherent (telfa) dressing. Some use a non-adherent dressing with Vaseline as a covering. Change frequently. Avoid ordinary gauze, as it will stick tenaciously and be painful to remove.
- If the nail plate is hanging on by a thread, remove it by separating it from the skin folds by using a hemostat. You can consider placing the avulsed nail plate on the nailbed as a protective covering (it is dead tissue but may be the most comfortable option). Avoid scraping off loose edges (called debridement), as it may affect the nailbed's ability to heal.
- If the nailbed is lacerated, suture (if clean) with the thinnest gauge absorbable suture available (6-0 Vicryl is good). Be sure to remove any nail plate tissue over the laceration so the suture repair will be complete.
- Place a fingertip dressing. Some will immobilze the digit with a finger splint to protect from further damage.
- A contaminated wound will require antibiotics
Nailbeds and Crush Injuries
In some crush injuries, such as striking the nail plate with a hammer, a bruise (also called an "ecchymosis") or a collection of blood may form underneath (a "hematoma"). A bruise will be painful, but the pain should subside within an hour or two. A hematoma will continue to be painful, even several hours after the event. A bruise will likely appear brownish or blueish, but a hematoma may appear a deep blue-black.
Nail Hematoma – source: nailsmag.com
For a bruised nail, little needs to be done other than given oral pain relief, such as Ibuprofen. In a significant hematoma, however, some suggest a further procedure called "trephination". In this instance, a very fine drill (or a hot 18 gauge needle or paper clip) is used to make a hole in the nail plate large enough to relieve pressure from the blood that has collected under the nail. It should not be too painful if you don't go too far in. This will require Betadine, but should not be performed unless absolutely necessary; if you go too deep through the nail, you may further injure the nail bed. The finger must be kept dry, splinted and bandaged for a minimum of 48 hours afterwards. Most inexperienced medics should avoid this procedure except in the most severe cases, as the pain will usually decrease over time even if you do nothing.
It's important to know that damage to the base of the nail (the germinal matrix) may be difficult to completely repair, and that future nail growth may be deformed in some way. In situations where modern medical care is available, a hand surgeon is often called in to give the injury the best chance to heal appropriately. Even then, a higher incidence of issues such as "ingrown" nails may occur. A completely torn-off nail will take 4-5 months to grow back.
Remember, don't try this at home, folks, unless the poop has truly hit the propellor.

Just wanted to let you know that I read your articles religously.Though I haven't commented previously I just wanted to let you know that your efforts are truely appreciated.. As an experienced ER RN much of the information is not new to me however anything I learn is extremely helpful especially with a prepper mindset.
Hi Grossyi,
Thanks for the kind words and support and, especially, thank you for being willing to use your medical training to help us keep people healthy in the event of a collapse.
all the best,
Dr. Bones
Hi Dr.Bones, I recently smashed my thumb in the car door and I have fake nails on.in order to do the needle experiment how do I get the fake nail off from it not hurting.
wow! I feel ya. because the same exact thing happened to my finger on Valentine's Day of this year. (2014) so I know that you might be in pain hunnyy!!!
My name is Sybol and I have just a couple of questions. Last night at work I hit my nail while cleaning a stove, it was bleeding under neath the acrylic nail I have on top what should I do? My hand is sore and my finger is swollen,
If you can help me out I would love it!!

Im an exotic dancer and i often wear acrylics. I accidently ripped my acrylic/real nail up from dancing. I could push it all the way back with it seperating from my finger. So with it hanging there i chose to remove it. I was going to pull it off when the edge of it under my skin came up with it. My nail, including my nail bed underneath my skin came off. Will my nail be able to grow back at all? My skin isnt cut. The nail bed literally slid up with it.
Dr bones, I fell and a small table fell onto my left ring finger , leaving a "dent" on the skin between the cuticle and first knuckle. I iced it, it bruised and got better. The dent grew out thru my nail, however my nail is flattened and my fingertip still looks a tiny bit swollen. No pain even if put pressure on it. Will this ever go back to normal?
I had my baby toe nails removed as well as the nail beds, how long till I can wear running shoes again?, I deliver mail for Canada post & would like to return to work. This is week 2 & it's still throbbing, no way can I wear any thing other that my flip flops.
here's what i'm wondering: if the nail was ripped out, even from under the cuticle, so, presumably, the nail matrix, has been ripped out, and as it heals, the cuticle heals over like solid skin to the place where your nail used to be, does that mean the nail won't grow back after that? or will the nail actually grow out through that scar tissue in 4-5 months? looking at it, i'd say that it looks like the finger has given up on the idea of ever having fingernail right there. but you say 4-5 months to grow back, does that mean until the nail bed is totally covered by nail again? or that's how long before it'll start to again push nail up from the cuticle area?
I had a crush injury on my thumb about a month ago. The nail is intact but the skin and cuticle at the base was ripped off. The nail root is now exposed. Apart from the fact it looks kind of weird, is it a problem? Will skin grow back here to cover it up?
I smashed my ring finger in a hinge and cut the cutical away. I did not lose the nail and as the nail grew the black moved to the side of the nail. It has been ten months and the entire end of my finger remains red and swollen.It will get some better and then flare up again. and throb with each pulse beat. How can i get relief . My doctor said just to live with it.
I've had a sore under my. Nail for a couple. Of years.If I touch it very painful..
On May 23rd I dropped a tea cup on my big toe, it hit at the cuticle, Instantly the worse pain I have ever felt. Troubles moving it for 24 hours. Within 72 hours the nail was black but pain subsided. About 3 weeks after it started to bleed, while applying light pressure a gush of blood and fluid came out… but no pain. Went to Dr and he said that it was just the bruise releasing pressure. Now the nail is lifting I can lift about 1/2 the nail up. My question should I cut the part that is lifting off or leave it?
I am just afraid of catching it on something. -
I crushed my pinky nail fairly severly. the nail was black 85% of the way to the tip within an hr. It swelled the skin got tight and was bruise all the way round the finger. 10 days later the skin pealed of. Now the nail has become very curved. the side are now vertical. will the new nail grow in looking pinched like this? is the anything I can do to have a normal nail?
I wear acrylic nails all the time and this is the first time I've ripped my nail from its nail bed. My pinky was hit and torn partly from the nail bed but the majority is still in tact. I'm wondering on what I should do? (I have kept it wrapped up with a band- aid during the day and at night I take the band- aid off…) And what would be the best way to remove it? -
Hi Dr. Bones,
My finger got caught to my car door and my initial reaction was to pull. once i did that, my whole index finger nail ripped off. I went to doctor and was told that i should let the nail breath and not have it wrapped all the time. This injury happened about 5 days ago and im still in pain. Should i keep it wrapped or unwrapped? The first 3 days i had it wrapped but now not sure what should i do
I always wear acrylic nails and I recently fell over and tore my whole nail, completely off (this was a week ago today) and it's currently all dry. Up the top, popping out from under the skin, is a soft, squishy pink lump that I'm iffy about. It's it infected or is that saposto happen? -
Hi. I've just got my nails done2 days ago with the artificial nails. Last night I hit my pinky nail hard which caused it to start bleeding at the tip underneath the fake nail. I really want it off asap. How can I please take it off or what can I do to stop it from hurting? Please help me.
Dr Bones,
My daughter got her thumb stuck in a car door the 21st of June. The nail finally fell off a week and a half ago but there was a large, purplish/pink ridge of tissue in the nail bed. I saw a hand surgeon and he said it was fine, but I said it was protruding over the nail bed and he said it wasn't. I think it is. What should I do? I think the tissue need to be removed before the nail grows back. Am I right?
Would like to know if there is any cure for the broken germinal matrix? Its been 2 years when accidentally the person cleaning my fingernails push too hard and cause my germinal matrix to be broken. Hope to hear from u soon. Thanks
I wear arycil nails and had got it stuck on a cart basket my real nail with the arycil nail some how all went to one side theres alot of bleed aslo with thumbing. What should I do.
Hey guys.
I had acrylics on and I was getting out the car and caught it. It's completely took my own nail off with the false one, my doctor has dressed it for me but will it still get infected
She used a little price of gauze and cleaned it with some liquid
Any help or advice would be highly appreciated. Thankyou
I am looking forward for some help.
I had a bike accident 6 months ago and i almost lost my foot finger. Therefore my one finger of foot,the biggest finger, or first finger of foot, it was completely smashed, is bit small than before in length amd breadth , and slowly naily had started to grow from both sides of the base and on one side, i cant see the nail tip thats growing inside, and it hurts a lot, i think the nail is not getiing space to grow normally because.my finger is somehow small and its been stiched so the appearance is quite different. what do u think i should do? -
hi dr bones,
while working with my hands I was pulling on a flat piece of metal which was stuck. when it broke free it found the base of my nail, cut my skin and my nail is now fully exposed (looks square not rounded) on one side. to have my skin heal and nail continue to grow, should I clip/remove any part of the now exposed nail?
thanks! -
Hi my toe nail I believe has nerve damage and has for a long time. My toe nail eventually grows back but never stays because the skin under my nail is damaged and it doesn't even bleed or anything under there anymore. My nail just grows at the cuticle. Would I ever be able to fix this problem?
Hi, I also ripped my nail up trying to remove a tent stake out of the ground this past Sunday. ..I don't know how much of it Tore up, but it was painful and bled pretty bad. . We cleaned it and wrapped it. .. After getting home a few hours later cleaned it again and placed it in warm salt water. . I've had it wrapped on and off to also let it breathe, my question:it's now almost Thursday and my thumb is still swollen and painful to the touch, other than some discoloration the nail seems ok, hoping it won't fall of. . But my thumb is swollen and warm. .. thoughts?
Hiya, I ripped my acrylic off by accident and it took about half of my nail off. It was very sore, therefore I went back to my normal nail salon and she put another tip and said it'll be ok. After a couple of hours of having it done it is very painful. Would it be safe to get them removed at the salon with the acetone, as its too sore to keep on?
I had a large ridge running down my thumb which I constantly filed down, it was so huge. The ridge kept building, and I kept filing, Finally, it split a few weeks ago, and tonight began to peel back on both sides. It's not really painful (yet) but now the middle of my thumb is exposed down to the nail plate, just leaving parts of the whole nail on each side. It doesn't appear to be ripped completely to the nail plate but almost, like the nail plate was preparing itself and was starting to harden up in preparation for the nail pulling away.How do you think I should treat the area best in the coming months as the nail grows out?
Hello. I just got acrylic nails put on 3 days ago. Yesterday I was drying my car after washing it and hit my finger on my tire. The acrylic nail lifted up taking my real nail with it. It is only attached at the root. I've been keeping it wrapped but it's in a lot of pain. I was wondering if I should remove the nail or leave it be and let it heal?
I was wondering if my nail will be fine if it just come of my nail bed a little? How would I keep water from getting underneath my nail?
My husband smashed his finger at work about a month ago and he literally has a hole in the center of the nail and the skin underneath is protruding through the nail. He accidentally hits it occasionally and it starts bleeding again. Does his nail need to have a dressing on it until it grows out?
Hi! I made a post on July 22nd and am the only person not to receive a response. Please respond to the question posted by Melissa at 11:04 p.m.. Thanks!
My name is Alexandra, and I had the nail on my big toe surgically removed two days ago because it was dying due to infection around the cuticle. Underneath my nail there were two more nails growing one of which was still attached to the nail bed. In order to remove the nail and infected tissue on my nail bed, my doctor had to create an indent on most of my nail bed, but then it goes back up at the end of my toe. He said that my nail would "most likely" grow back, but what are the chances it won't, and how can I make sure it grows back without growing into the indent in my nail bed? My step-dad that was an EMT said that there is a possibility of my nail not growing back if the infection gets worse of doesn't get better, is that true?
Hi, 2 days ago I closed a door and it bumped into my big toe at the end. At first, it was very painful and was throbbing. Now it is still in pain, but I'm trying to figure out if it's going to fall off or not. When I look at the top of my toe, the first quarter of the nail looks separated. I can also see the nail bed and it has become quite puffy. There is a crack towards the bottom of the nail that goes across most of the nail. When I wiggle it , it seems pretty attached still and it has not turned black or darkened. Do you think it will fall off , or can it keep growing if it just partially detached?
Doc – 17 yrs ago somehow damaged nail bed on thumb. Nail grows out normally half way out and then splits down the middle to end of nail. If snagged, split continues further up to cuticle. Never had pain with this. Any suggestions on possible repair?
Hey I was wondering if I can email a pic of my nail to you? I got it caught in a metal towing chain, and the upper left corner died (of the nail). I recently clipped it away as it was getting caught on edges of metal pans where I work, and I didn't want to rip my nail off.
There is feeling under the live (2/3 part) of the nail, just not where the nail meets skin for the upper left corner. Just wondering if it will grow back.
Thanks Dr. Bones!
A few months ago I had surgery to remove a segment of an ingrown toenail. The podiatrist then permanently killed the nail-bed in the problem area. However, he said something which worried me during the procedure- he said something like"If your nail is loose, the chemical might leak underneath, and you might have a funny looking nail". This distressed me a great deal, as I would have chosen not to have the nail bed cauterised if I had known I might end up with a nail abnormality.
Anyway, unfortunately the chemical did appear to leak underneath the nail, as there is now a white area at the side of my toe, which is flaky and seems like it will eventually fall off. Am I correct in thinking that this area will never grow back normally again?
Thank you
Hi. My big toe nail got ripped off this morning by someone stepping on my toe. I wanted to know if my nail will grow back. I will like to send you a picture. This is the first time that it totally came off.
I have fake nails and bumped my nail when the bus slammed on its breaks my finger started bleeding I went and got the nail removed and now it's worse it's swollen the pain hasn't stopped and I can't straighten my finger can anybody help
I have acrylic nails. I hit my thumbnail on my steering wheel one morning rushing to get out of the car because I was late for work. It bled a little and was sore for a few days. The acrylic is still on, it doesn't hurt, doesn't seem infected. The nail is detached from the nailbed. My manuscript mentioned soaking it in a vinegar solution would help it reattach. Is that true? I keep bumping it and making it loose again. What should i do
Hi there. Good information in the article here. I was wondering how long it usually take for bleeding to stop if the nail is completely gone? My mom dropped a ramp on her foot and the big toe nail is gone and there is a fracture at the tip. We went to the ER and they sent us home and told us to keep it wrapped but it just seems that the bleeding is a little much to me?
Hi, well I have a toenail that got bruised and turned a sort of black brown. It never went completely back to normal and now the nail in that area is thick with whitish stuff possibly skin? and it sticks up like a bump you can still see a slight bruise there too, is there anything to make this better or go away? P.S. I run in cross country if that makes any difference!
Today I was walking my kids out of school, totally not paying attention I ran into the stop sign with a cement base, my big toe got stuck under the cement and I tried to pull it out and couldn't. I had to try to move the cement to get my toe out, in the process half of my big toenail was scraped away. It stings really bad 5 hours later. It's not bleeding but the nail is no longer smooth and even. Will this grow out on it's own and should I do anything to it now to help it heal any faster? I can't believe as bad as it hurts it's not bleeding.
Hi doctor soi had on acrylic and I hurt my pinky nail everything felt like it was in tacked so I went to get the nail repaired and literally the next day my Nail started to hurt like at the root or around my cuticle. Buy nothing has came off no bleeding its just really sore I plan on soaking off my nail tomorrow. I just hope my nail didn't detach from the root. Its a Lil swollen too.
I crushed my thumb in a car door recently causing bruising under the nail. I have been able to use nail clippers to gradually cut the nail down and clean the dried blood underneath, as well as the nail bed, with salt water. I now have half of a thumb nail and the rest is nice, pink nail bed. I feel that I need to keep cutting and cleaning, but not going too far, reaching a point where I have cleaned and then to let the nail grow back. Is it ok to do that?
my husband's foot slammed into a rock today on the beach. His big toe nail is sticking up in the air as if pointing to the skies. what do we do? will it lay back down? will it have to be pulled out? we don't have insurance. Please advise. i can send a picture if it would help.
thanks. -
I just want to mention we are soaking it warm purified water, washing it clean with saline wash, and bacitracin as an antiseptic because it happened while at the beach, to try and prevent infection.
My son had his finger smashed and the fingernail removed and replaced. No stiches, everything was fine. We have to keep it bandaged until we return to the Dr in week. Will he be able to get it wet after the first week?
Hi dr. bones!!!! I had my nail removed due to possible melanoma under the nail. I am still in a lot of pain and had the nail removed on Wednesday, October 1 it throbs all the time and swollen and I can't bend it from the joint. How long will it take to settle down???
Thank you very much

After that I kept dancing and using my toe but it hurt and I thought it was broken. Four days later I looked at it and noticed bruising under my toe nail and in the back of it. I pushed my toe nail and its really soft I feel like it is going to come off but im not sure. please help me on what to do.. do I go to the doctors?.. leave it alone? or what… thnank you
Hi Dr. Bones,
I have eczema that affects my right hand and right now it's especially bad at the cuticle. I've been applying Vaseline (rather than my previously prescribed Betamethasone since I ran out) and covered it with a bandage. It's been healing but caused my nail plate to turn really hard and yellowish right along the cuticle. Then yesterday I realized it was kind of loose and started picking at it. Well the nail plate that was yellowing came off and I don't know if it is my nail bed that is exposed but my nail plate along the cuticle is now torn off and underneath it was really yellow and crusty. What exactly is this and what can I do to remove it and make sure my nail plate grows back?
hello there, about 2 months ago I ripped off my right big toe nail. And the doctor cleaned it and said it would grow back in probably 6 months to a year however its been 2 months now and all that I see is a little bump at the top of the toe. what I want to know is will the nail grow back? And how will it grow back over this bump? The bump looks like a little bit of covered flesh? It's kind of tender to the touch but the whole nail bed has already dried up like the doctor said. So I'm kind of wondering will the nail grow over this pump and what is this bump at the top of the toe?
Hi Dr.Bones,
Few days ago I had pain in my little finger and noticed puss coming from its cuticle. I cleaned the puss as much as possible and in 2days the pain subsided. After 2 more days I had no pain But noticed that the nail was starting to separate from it's cuticle. Now half of the nail starting from the cuticle is dead and I have trimmed it and remaining half (lower half) of the nail is stuck to the nail bed. I don't know How to remove it from the nail bed. And I see no new nail is growing. Is my nail root damaged? If so How to treat it? And I need to get rid of that half stuck nail which pains when I tried to remove it. And I don't have a nail doctor near by
Hello Dr Bones, last Thursday I accidentally closed my trunk on my thumb when I was not paying attention. It was stuck and the trunk had to be opened for me to get it out. I waited 2 days to see the doctor because the pressure from the blood was causing me so much pain and it was swollen. He made a hole in the nail to let the blood out. He didn't give me good instructions on how to take care of it afterwards . It's day two and the hole is clogged and it still hurts a little to move it. Are antibiotics necessary in this case ? I'm debating whether to take them because I've taken too many antibiotics already in the past 3 years and they throw off my vaginal ph balance.
I had a small part of one side of my big toenail removed last February so about 8 months ago. It was ingrown and just on that one side so she removed it and killed the nail bed/matrix with phenol chemical. She said it should not ever grow back now. It healed great and the side looks like its healing over fine. Looking at it I barely notice anything wrong. But the last two days I have been getting a stinging pain at the base of that toenail like the nail bed area. When I push on and around that nail nothing hurts. The stinging pain is minor and comes and goes these last two days. I am just wondering if the part of that toenail is trying to grow back again? Is that possible 8 months later? Or is it just nerve pain I am feeling? That nail bed was killed in that spot. It was fine was 8 months tell now. -
I would just like to share a quick story for who ever this might be useful to. Im 18 now but when I was in grade 9 I crushed my finger in the door, long story short and after my nail regrew correcrly for the mkst part. The only issue is it left a hollow u shaped hollow groove and for three years it persisted. Until a month or 2 it grew in almost back to the finger tip. Moral of the story is your nail may grow correctly several years later.
I have a thumbnail crush injury which happened about a month ago. A I developed a hematoma under my thumb nail. As the nail grows out past the cuticle I see that the nail isn't growing back and there is a gap or hole where the nail should be. What should I do about this?
I have acrylic over my nails and I bumped my finger tip really hard and it lifted my nail plate off of the nail bed along with the acrylic still on the nail plate. The nail plate seems to still be attached to the nail bed in the cuticle area. I rinsed it out with warm water and poured some hydrogen peroxide over it to clean it out and placed a bandaid over it so the nail plate is leading over the nail bed and is being held down with a bandaid. Can I leave it like this to grow out or do I need to have it removed?
HI, My five year old son had his little finger crushed while playing with dumbells and his whole nail had come out as 1 piece, including the part beyond the cuticle which looked like root. we rushed him to the doc and she has been wrapping the wound for 4 days now but is not sure if the nail will grow back. can you please tell me if the nail is ever going to grow back.
So about 3-4 months ago I got my big toe stepedon on by someone's heel since then at first I felt discomfort now then now the middle of my nail looks dead but doesn't look like its getting better. Around the lifted area it looks slight red but doesn't hurt. I'm scared I won't have a normal toe nail again, how long does it take to grow back now should've I be worried
So just worried bout my big toe it got stepped on 3-4 months ago by a girl in heels now it had a small shooting pain the first couple weeks now the middle to the free edge looks dead. How long does it take to grow out now how can I help it get better faster? Should I worry that it will never grow back?
And it's not dead all the way across just down the middle like an upside down triangle
My pointer finger got sucked into a construction fan (with no back). Dr. said it is sprained. Lost the nail and now (4 weeks later) I have a huge bump at the base of the nail. My question is this will the bump go away and allow regular growth of the nail?
I have a small 1/8″ long bruise on my ring finger. No idea where it came from. but it's been there at least 3 years. Usually it doesn't bother me, but sometimes I get a shooting pain down that finger. Rarely, the pain will actually keep me awake until the Advil kicks in. No pain when pushing down on the nail. No finger fractures. I'm clueless. Any idea what it could be?
Alrighty . I have an odd injury I had fakes nails and I lifted my nail off the nail bed before. It bled But the other day I made a mistake. I went to cut it. And I didn't press down on the nail so. My nail detached. It bled only a little by the nail. atrix then it stopped. So I have more nail. But do I need to get it checked out by a doctor or no….. I clean it with proxide and cover it with a bandage in the morning and night so it's always covered.
Hey, I need some advice.
I have solar/acrylic nails. I hit my nail and my acrylic nail cracked and popped off right in the middle of my nail. It pulled off the top half of my real nail off with it. The bottom of my nail is still there with the acrylic attached. My finger is a lot of pain and is super sensitive! What should i do? -
2 days ago I bent my finger back and the acrylic nail got caught ripping both the fake and the real nail. Currently I can see that it is completely detached at the sides but I don't think it is across the width of the nail and can't see any split with the gap between the cuticle and the acrylic nail. It is sore and swollen especially when I knock it. I've just been bathing it several times a day in boiling water and salt. I have also trimmed it down as far as I can without being in too much pain and don't want to use nail varnish remover as will hurt even more. Could this nail possibly reattach if it's at the sides and not across the nail? If I could email you a picture would be great. Thanks
My 7 year old daughter's finger got crushed while closing wooden door. The tip of finger was hurt pretty badly. Doctors in my area advised to removed nail due to risk of infection. They also told me it would grow automatically. I haven't been able to see much information, if finger tip & its nail grow automatically for younger kids. Damage of nail & finger is 1/8 of an inch. Your help would be much appreciated.
Hello Dr.,
I hurt my thumb nail with a sliding door three months ago. The nail fell off just now even though I had drained the blood out. I found a BIG dent and bump under the nail. The side that was damaged was growing slower than the rest, changing the shape slightly.Will it grow back to normal? Is it ok to try to apply pressure on the bumps or file them down? Will the dent go away with time?Thank you
I smashed my ring finger in the garage door. Did the whole poke a hole in and some blood came out also with some clear stuff. Now my nail is curving and my finger itches. What should I do??? My fimger is also swallon and warmer than all of my other fingers. When I touch something with it, it feels so different than when I touch it with my other unsmashed fingers:/ please help
I have a question. I wear fake nails and on Sunday night while getting stuff in my car I shoved my nail under my seat. Needless to say my fake/real nail came up but not all the way up. Went to urgent care and they pushed it down and said to keep it wrapped,but now I have this clear fluid coming out from underneath it. I didn't know if I should try and soak it in acetone to remove my fake nail or just leave it alone. My nail didn't even hardly bleed so now I'm just nervous about what to do,plus having 3small children at home is not helping from hitting it constantly. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you
Hello, I have recently taken off my acrylic nails and a part was stuck on my real nail. As it snapped off a sliver or chunk of my real nail went with it, now I'm not sure how long it will take to grow back nor how serious it is. All I know is it still hurts quite bad. Any help would be useful! Thank you
Hi Doc, 10 months ago I had my big toe nail going white from the middle then it started lifting off the nail bed until it fill off completely & a new nail started to grow, I actually went to my Family Doctor & we sent the nail to the Lab & the result came negative for fungus. When the new nail reached half way it has started to lift off the nail bed again & now its comoletely off the nail bed & just attached from the edges & the root… Is the nail premanently damaged?? What should I do?
Hi Dr,
In the fall of 2013 I had a 2×4 fall on my left great toe in the nail root/nail matrix area. No visible injury was able to be assessed other than the extreme pain felt. Then a few months later the same toe was injured and the nail was lifted off the nail bed. It was only until several months after that, that I realized the toenail was not attached to the nailbed and I sought the advise of a podiatrist. The nail was completely removed. Since then I have had the nail removed twice and even a resin nail applied once in hopes of aiding the normal regrowth of the toenail and still the toenail that grows is not reattaching to the nailbed. I am fearful that I have a fungal infection because of the yellow discoloration of the nail. Any suggestion or advice on how I can get the nail to grow attached to the nail bed? At this point I'm willing to do anything!! Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Hello, 2 days ago I was putting a 45 pound plate in the gym back on the rack and my left pointer finger got pinched by cuticle with another weight. It immediately swelled and blood formed halfway under the nail. The next day I went to the er and they took an xray luckily nothing broken. My finger had a lot of pressure and they decided to poke a hole on the nail to let the blood out. That alleviated some pressure and they wrapped it up with a thumb shape brace.
2 days later my finger is still very swollen, puffy, bruised on the tip and the nail bed by the cuticle looks raised and it's very sensitive to the touch. Even though the doctor said it will heal itself I'm concerned the out finger swelling and the nail bed selling has not subsided. Also concerned about infection. How long does the swelling take to subside?
I was in a car wreck exactly 2 weeks ago. I don't remember what happened to my nail, but now my whole nail is ripped off & half of the nail bed is ripped out from where my cuticle is. I was told it would out on its own but after 2 weeks it's still partially attached. Will it ever detach fully? It's only painful when I catch it & most of the time I have it wrapped in band aids & antibiotic ointment.
Hi doc,
A heavy door slammed shut on my finger two weeks ago and the entire nail came off immediately. It was bleeding pretty bad for the first 24 hours from a gash caused by the injury. I saw a doctor right when it happened, but now new layers of skin are growing over the dried blood so there's a dark red "line" under the new skin where the gash was. Should I go back to the doctor so they can puncture the skin and clean out the dried blood? Also in general if the nail falls off from the bottom (nail bed) does it typically grow back? I'm worried I'll never have a nail again.
Thanks for your help!
Also, the tip of the nail feels like it's being stretched out and doesn't seem to get as much blood circulation.
I injured my left big toe walking. My feet had swollen causing my toenail to receive too much pressure. The toe swelled and became bruised under the nail. Now I can fell a gap in the nail at the cuticle. Will the nail fall off and will a new nail grow and what should I do about this. Thanks, Chris
Hi there. So I was pulling my vacuum hose out yesterday. Apparently pulled too hard.
I currently have a brand new set of acrylics on my fingers.
As I pulled the hose out my actual nail came up completely.
As seeing on your picture it seems that my nail matrix on half of my nail side is completely not attached. I've tried to see if I could pull it out, that was not happening. My primary physician is closed on weekends. Any recommendations on what to or what I can do? -
Hi, i need help. this is not that bad and this always happen to me but this time it wont heal up.
I was clipping my nail but i push in deep further than the nail border thing.
It hurts, and wont go back to normal.
usually it would, but i dont really remember how it healed since i dont really pay attention to minor injuries.
But this has brought up to my attention that ut wont heal up. -
About a month ago i accidentally caught my pinky finger in my electric hedge trimmer. Hurt and bled a lot. Wound healed and nail came loose a week ago. Didnt realize at the time that i had cut through it. Either way, it grew out some before i lost it, and there is about a quarter inch of nail protruding from my cuticle, still attached. Will the rest grow back, do you suppose?
Last Oct while playing basketball, my 16 yr old son pretty severely broke his left index finger at the proximal interphalangeal joint. It required 3 pins to put the joint back together. One of the pieces of bone dissolved away and he is left with 2/3 of his joint.
During healing over the next couple months, his nail wasn't growing at all and he complained of coldness to the finger. The coldness went away and the nail did start to grow a tiny bit, though much slower than the other fingers. However, it started to develop slight redness and swelling just past the cuticle towards the distal joint.
We took him back to see his hand surgeon and he said he had an infection and prescribed antibiotics. After 2-1/2 weeks, the antibiotics didn't change the finger and now the cuticle seems to be moving away with a growing area of red-looking fleshy "skin" that never heals. It's not spreading fast- slowly over the last couple weeks and swelling hasn't increased in the distal phalanx. Just the red fleshy "skin" near cuticle area has.
We took him to pediatrician for 2nd opinion who prescribed new antibiotic to see if that would help, but 4 days later, it hasn't at all.
Hand surgeon originally wanted to take off nail to help with healing of infection, but I have a lot of reservations since I am not convinced that will absolutely help and I know surgeons naturally lean towards surgery.
I am concerned about the chance that the nail might not regrow, so don't want to go that route unless absolutely necessary and no other options. What are your thoughts about the diagnosis, and what would you suggest as to what type of specialist we should see for dealing with this type of problem?
One of my fingernails splits apart when it grows past the fleshy part of the nails (when it turns white). I asked my dermatologist about it and she said she didn't know but maybe I had damaged the cuticle. I can see a small line in the nail that goes back to the 'moon' and cuticle. I have to keep this nail very short or it will catch on things and tear. Wondering if there is anything I can do to repair the damage. Thanks for your response and willingness to reply.
Two days ago, i caught my thumb in my car door, which had shut all the way, and i had to open it to free my thumb, when u seen it, the middle almost tip of my thumb and nail had a pretty deep dent from getting smashed, the nail immiediatley turned blackish blue, swollen and extreme pain, i went to the ER, they did x-ray, and poked a hole in my nail which relieved some pressure, they told me no fractures, but i still have severe pain, swelling, numbness on the upper part of my thumb, tingling,the color of the tip of my thumb is super white and the nail is still blackish blue…should i go back to the ER?

I have been resident outside the UK since 1997 when I spent approx 1 year in Thailand then approx 3 years in the USA when I returned to Thailand where I have resided since approx 12 years.
I have not resided with my wife for that period. I did though continue to support her until 2002 when I returned to Thailand but the position did not exist I was therefore unemployed for about 2 years. During which time I received a letter from a lawyer stating that my wife was petitioning for divorce on the grounds of desertion. I have had no contact for quite some time and no longer know where she resides.
I believe I certainly qualify for divorce under the 5 year seperation terms. How do I proceed without incurring large bills which I cannot afford. Can it be done in absentia IE fron Thailand?
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Kind Regards,
James Kelly.

Warning as Ulverston shop thefts double
Last updated at 14:53, Tuesday, 20 May 2014
POLICE issued a warning to would-be shoplifters after figures showed thefts from shops more than doubled.
Ulverston officers recorded 21 shoplifting offences between the year start and the end of April. This compares with nine incidents in the same period last year.
Of these offences, police detected 16. The others remain under active investigation.
Sergeant Rupert Johnston, of the Ulverston and Lakes Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "Shoplifting has seen an increase this year, as last year during the same timeframe we suffered nine. We are working with shopkeepers to deter and detect these crimes and any shops that are not currently members of the Ulverston ShopWatch are encouraged to join by calling 101 and asking for PCSO Paul Harris.
With a high detection rate which equates to three out of every four being prosecuted, Ulverston is not a good place to shoplift."
Tesco Express in Market Street and Ulverston's two Co-operative Food stores are the premises most regularly targeted by shoplifters. Food, alcohol and toiletries are among the most frequently taken items.
A Tesco spokesman said: "Like many retailers in Ulverston, we are unfortunately sometimes the victim of shoplifting. Our colleagues work very hard to prevent theft and work closely with police to help them investigate crimes."
A Co-operative Food spokesman said: "Retail crime is a serious problem which affects all retailers. We take any incidents of theft extremely seriously, and we are working closely with police in a bid to tackle the problem and reduce its impact on our stores."

Have your say
If we lived in Saudi Arabia thess culprits would
Be missing a hand by now! Yes there are professional
Theives in Ulverston and they target tesco, boots and the factory
Shop and they seem to be easy pickings for the local "tea leaf's"
Maybe if the penalties were more severe for their crimes then these local criminals can have more of a deterrent to prevent them from reoffending!

Army Wives' Kelli Williams dished with our buddies over at Zap2It about what viewers can expect when her character Jackie mixes it up with the other wives. The actress revealed what it was like working with All My Children diva and soap icon Susan Lucci, after watching her for years onscreen. Williams stated: When I was a teenager, I had a girlfriend who was obsessed with 'All My Children,' and she would have the VCR ready to go every day. We'd come home from school, and she'd go, 'Come on, you have to watch this with me.' I didn't feel like it, but of course, I would and I'd get hooked by all the stories. Then, there I am all these many years opposite Susan Lucci, who's giving me the evil eye in character.

Pick up a dictionary and look up "Karma"... Not sure what you read into that but it's pretty basic. I could care less if you find crashes funny, I laugh at the misfortune of others all the time. I probably wouldn't do it on a public forum though, because there's always the chance you might end up leaving the slopes on a stretcher next time out and I'll be the guy telling you to go back to the dictionary and look up "Irony"

Now my board is addicted to nicotine and I can't get it to quit smoking! The lifties in CO were the complete opposite though. Every one of them were social, younger, smiled and tried to make conversation. Some of them were wearing snowboard boots and had their boards by the operating station. Being snowboarders is probably why they had their typical awesome attitudes. I do know some skiers who are just as nice, but most I've met are serious. I wish all lifties were like the ones I met in CO. Last edited by Gdog42; 12-08-2012 at 09:38 PM. |

Definitely the latest hot spot in Jupiter's Art District.

Visited this restaurant for the first time with family and grandkids. Everything about the place was great. Food, atmosphere, not noisy, just a really fun place to go.I had the Raspberry chipotle pork chop, which was to die for. I just wished it had more of the wonderful sauce to dip that juicy pork chop in..The rest of the family either had the cobia or snapper, which were both fresh and delicious..

too complicated, all around commotion and noisy. great to bring the out of town friends for the "wow" factor but not my first choice if I want to talk and relax over dinner
Posted by Jenny on 08/08/2009
The food was amazing. I had the macadamia nut coconut crusted grouper with plantains and mexican corn on the cob. I couldn't eat it all so I had to share with the people I was with. They also enjoyed their meals. This should be a stop on everyone's trip to Florida!

This place doesn't have any of the most common dinner staples--if you order a burger or other sandwich-type meal, you can forget about french fries, you will be receiving kettle-cooked potato chips. After paying a the price I paid for the meal, I should have gotten a whole bag of chips, but you only get a small handful. I guess it's supposed to be a healthy place. You're not paying for high-quality foods, you're paying for the atmosphere.

Came here for dinner friday night and it wasnt as crowded as I had anticipated, which was a relief from all of the things I have been told about the waits here. We waited about 45mins. I had a Cook Island something-or-other drink, it was fantastic, i'm not sure if they could have squeezed another kind of juice into the thing. The food lived up to the expectations and the music and all of the beautiful people scurrying around made for a great environment to enjoy our evening. We ended it with a Mexican Hot Chocolate! Outstanding!
Posted by Katie on 01/09/2009
The wait on a Thursday evening at 6:15pm was 1 1/2 hours for dinner. For appetizers only, you could find one of many small round and log-shaped tables with stools for immediate service. That's what we chose. Six of us sat a bar table and it was kind of funny, but very cozy. The grouper sandwich was good, but the portion of grouper was very small - smaller than the bun it was served on. The ribs were very good. Overall, we love the refurbished restaruant, but will still miss the old small place it used to be. Guanabana has most definitely gone up several levels now with the liquor service and night crowds. Of course, the prices have risen. The service was excellent!

Baseball managers do not care about the numbers we care about, they care about the final result. And if he is ending games with the Reds on top, there is no reason for them to make the change. And as has been stated, anybody that plays the game of fantasy baseball will know the exact same things that you do about Graves. It's hard to sell other players on a one category stat, unless they can absorb all of the other problems with him. Most people you play with are not idiots. They will know that the points they gain in saves, if any, will be lost from the WHIP and ERA. They're certainly not going to give anything great for that.

But if you do, his marketability is NEVER going to be higher than it is right now!First of all, Graves has been extremely fortunate to date. He's got a 100% save conversion rate, but all of his peripheral numbers are lousy. He has an established tendency to fade, and that could be accelerated in that he's more of a health risk than he used to be. Plus, there's little question, at least IMO, that Ryan Wagner is the closer in waiting for Cincy and he's been nothing short of sensational this season.The kicker is injury/ineffectiveness epidemic that is afflicting so many closers right now. Owners in virtually every league of reasonable size are frantically searching for saves.I'm convinced that offering Graves up right now will get you more in return than at any other time, past or present. Now if only I actually owned him in any of my four leagues...

Prices slashed for online shoppers
Bargain season began in earnest on Christmas Day as online retailers slashed their prices ahead of the onslaught of consumers hitting the high street for the Boxing Day sales.
Amazon's UK website said it had seen sales on Christmas Day increase by 263% over the last five years.
It expected Tuesday to be its busiest Christmas Day to date, partly due to the growth in home broadband and the popularity of tablets and smartphones.
The retailer launched its Boxing Day deals on Tuesday, including clearance offers and "lightning deals" for a limited time and quantity of stock.
Trends seen on past Christmas Days on Amazon include an 11am rush for last minute gift cards, the spending of gift cards at midday and sofa surfing at 8.15pm.
Amazon's vice president of EU retail, Xavier Garambois, said: "The digital revolution has certainly played a part in this growth and Christmas Day is our biggest day of the year for MP3 and Kindle Book downloads, as many people are buying content from new devices that they have just received.
"It's not just digital items though, we are seeing purchases of everything from baby products to women's clothing rapidly growing on Christmas Day. Many customers are shopping on Christmas Day in a way that has previously only been seen in the retail industry on Boxing Day."
Analysts Experian predict that Christmas 2012 will be the "biggest and busiest ever" for online retailers in the UK, with visits to retail websites expected to reach 126 million on Wednesday, up 31% on 2011.
They believe consumers will spend £472.5 million on Boxing Day bargains.
Experian's digital insight manager James Murray said: "Christmas 2012 is on track to be another record-breaker for online retail, outstripping 2011 on all fronts.
"The current market trends suggest that in the UK, Boxing Day will be the biggest day for online retail, with an estimated 126 million visits to online retail outlets and a massive 17 million hours spent online shopping on this day alone."
While the January sales started early online, early figures suggested British consumers would be shunning the shops from Boxing Day and beyond.
Almost half (47%) were not planning on buying anything in the post-Christmas sales, according to research by comparison website Pricerunner.
Meanwhile, high-street spending was "acceptable but not exceptional" this festive period, according to the British Retail Consortium.
As more shoppers flocked to the web rather than the shops to buy presents, high-street retailers faced the threat of closure, business recovery group Begbies Traynor warned.
Almost 140 firms were in a critical condition in the fourth quarter, meaning they are on the brink of collapse, while more than 13,700 were in "significant" distress - up 35% during the three months to December 17, the Begbies Traynor report said.
But the BRC's head of media and campaigns Richard Dodd said poor accessibility on high streets, a lack of parking and weak consumer demand were to blame rather than an increase in online shopping.
But he acknowledged that some high-street retailers would "undoubtedly" fail after Christmas.
"Retail sales over the weekend have been up to expectations but expectations were relatively modest," said Mr Dodd.
"Christmas will turn out to be acceptable but not exceptional."
He went on: "There are a lot of myths around online retail. Ten per cent of overall retailing over the year comes from online shopping and actually it presents lots of opportunities for the retail sector."

But Florida State was unable to take advantage of this offensively, and the Seminoles were unable to corral Andre Dawkins or Austin Rivers either. Dawkins was on fire in the first half as he knocked down five of seven three-pointers (18 points) on his way to a 22-point night and Rivers added 20 in Duke's 74-66 victory.
#16 Florida State vs. #4 Duke: Thursday's Preview
There's the perception that the trip to Tallahassee has been a nightmare for #4 Duke (23-4, 10-2) in recent years, but while it is a tough trip the Blue Devils hadn't lost there since 2006 before their 66-61 loss last January. On the line tonight is a share of first place (with North Carolina), a position few expected #16 Florida State (19-7, 10-2) to be in as they were struggling in November and December.

My map is quite abstract but at the same time quite scientific in its design. I chose 6 design objects to focus on:
1. The Lifestraw
2. Amsterdam's tram
3. A Prosthetic leg
4. A spoon
5. Maya Ben David's Organic Ceramic forms
6. Bee's; a glass form with trained bees inside
that help detect diseases in humans as they blow inside it.
When analyzing the objects, i have come to a few realizations; one of them is that the Bee's piece and the ceramic forms were chosen because of their physical and formal beauty, the beauty of the materials from which they are made. They are not, too functional compared to the other pieces i chose.
The spoon, an object i thought was very functional and useful, became, in my mind much less so when it really came to think of it and compare it to, say, the lifestraw. Why do we need this metal tool? food might taste better without it.
The lifestraw, i realized, is much more ethical in its thinking than it actually is functional as parts need to be constantly replaced. The thought behind it is noble, however its impact is not equivalent to it.
Problems are with objects where the cost (green) outweighs other aspects, such as with the tram, which is generally a significant, wonderful mean of transportation.. however its existence does have an impact.
of course.. this is all relative and open to debate. anything could be argued here..

Panasonic surprised just about everyone in the digital imaging industry by introducing the Lumix DMC-GF3 less than six months after the debut of the GF2. The GF3 is not the GF2's replacement - the larger and slightly more complex GF2 (which is targeted primarily at photo enthusiasts) will remain in production.
The GF3 will be Panasonic's entry-level Micro Four Thirds digital camera - aimed primarily at point-and-shoot users who want to move up to a camera that provides more control, better image quality and interchangeable lenses without any significant increase in size, weight, or operational complexity.
The GF3 was briefly the smallest and lightest Micro Four Thirds format digital camera in the world, but Sony's tiny new NEX-C3 quickly bumped it into second place. The 12 megapixel GF3 features a 17.3 x 13mm Live MOS sensor (substantially larger than most point-and-shoot sensors), a built-in pop-up flash (but no hot shoe), a 3.0-inch (460,000 pixels) touchscreen LCD and a full HD (1920 x 1080i at 60fps) movie mode.
The GF3 is remarkably easy to like - it's tiny, really easy to use, capable of producing excellent images - with very little effort on the part of the shooter, and it's stylish in an understated way. Some users, especially those graduating from zoom equipped compacts, may find the 14mm (28mm equivalent) pancake kit lens a trifle disconcerting, but they will soon learn to zoom with their feet or they can buy the Lumix 14-42mm zoom instead of (or in addition to) the 14mm pancake prime.

Vernon Wells Player Projection No. 131
Key Stats: This is the pick that will make the rest of your leagues drop their collective jaws. The pick that will shake up the whole league. Oh wait never mind I got this confused with a different day. It's only Vernon Wells. This is the pick that will make the rest of your league collectively start to discuss moving the pace of the draft a little quicker.
Wells had a terrific season after being a forgotten man since 2006. He had the most home runs, RBI, and best OPS since that 2006 and also had the second most doubles of his career with 44. And as boring as he is, he has only missed 9 games combined over the past two seasons and will make $23 million so it's not as if he'll be like Chris Coghlan, Scott Podsednik or Jonny Gomes as far as there being questions as to whether or not he'll get a ton of at-bats.
Skeptics Say: For three consecutive seasons prior to last year, Wells did not finish a season ranked in the top 150 by Yahoo. Those seasons were in his 28-30 year old seasons, so that should have been the time in his career where he was close to his peak performance. Which is the better sample size, three years of numbers or one?
Also, last season Wells was ranked the 6th best player at the end of April, but from June through August (about half the season) he hit just .241. Essentially one hot month is what propelled him to being one of the seventy-five best ranked players last year. For him to repeat that performance seems very unlikely.
Peer Comparison: Corey Hart and Wells both ended up with 31 home runs on the season, but Hart is much easier to like heading into 2011. Here's why Hart is the superior pick:
Hart – Age: 28, 1 HR every 18 at-bats, approximately 65% of at-bats were with Ryan Braun or Prince Fielder hitting behind him
Wells – Age: 32, 1 HR every 19 at-bats, approximately 55% of at-bats were with Jose Bautista hitting in front of him
Hart is younger and if the lineups are not shaken up too much (and Fielder isn't traded), the Brewers have a better situation for Hart to thrive in.
Lineup Outlook: Back in 2009, Wells stole 17 bases in 21 attempts. Last year he only stole 6 bases in 10 attempts. Given how great a season it was for him in other categories, if Wells could have added 8 to 10 steals to his final line, he would have had a shot to be ranked in the top 30 in the player ranking formula. Where his steals go this season is a question first and foremost of health, but now it will also be up to John Farrell. Farrell has never managed before and has always been a pitching coach, so what his philosophy will be when it comes to sending Blue Jay runners is hard to guess. Given that he stole just 4 in 2008, I'd be more inclined to say that Wells will be closer to the 6 he had last year than the 17 two years ago.
What They're Saying: Yahoo: #41 Outfielder & #131 Overall; CBS Sportsline: #33 Outfielder; Couch Managers: #100 Overall; Tristan Cockroft of ESPN.com: Not ranked in top 30 Outfielders
Projection: Yes it is a boring pick, but if he comes out of the gates on fire again you won't be thinking that.

The KIJHL is moving north.
The junior B hockey league approved the relocation of the Penticton Lakers to 100 Mile House during a conference call on Thursday. The 100 Mile House team, to be called the Wranglers, is to begin play in September.
Barry Dewar, the owner and general manager of the Kamloops Storm, is the chair of the KIJHL's franchise committee. He said Thursday that the group in 100 Mile House will be purchasing the Lakers from the Okanagan Hockey Academy (OHA).
The move is pending B.C. Hockey approval, which Dewar said is "probably a formality."
"We think they'll be a rival for (the Storm) similar to (the Chase Heat)," Dewar said. "There are a lot of people from 100 Mile House who shop and do business in Kamloops and we'd expect fans to make the trip down here for games."
100 Mile House is quite a bit outside of the KIJHL's "footprint," where teams historically have been based. The league's northernmost team currently is in Golden, followed by Revelstoke and then Kamloops.
Dewar said the move to 100 Mile House "is a great opportunity for the league to look at expanding north," but said that a move north isn't actually in the plans.
With junior A franchises folding in Quesnel and Williams Lake in recent years, both communities are without hockey teams. Dewar said the league's franchise committee would "definitely take a strong look" if one of those towns wanted to join the KIJHL, but "they haven't approached us."
Dewar said that once the OHA announced last month it intended to sell the Lakers, "four of five" locations other than 100 Mile House expressed interest.
"I talked to three of them personally," he said. "They said they couldn't make it work at this time, but all three said they would love to have a franchise in the future."
Dewar wouldn't say which locations he talked to, but logical options for KIJHL expansion would be towns like Lumby and Oliver, which had franchises in the short-lived World Hockey Association, Sparwood, which had teams in the KIJHL between 1981-85 and 1987-94, or Nakusp, which will be playing host to a game between the Sicamous Eagles and Castlegar Rebels tonight.
It's a great day for 100 Mile House, which has been working to get a franchise for five years. The people behind the push thought they had wrangled the Grizzlies away from Revelstoke before this season, but the deal didn't work out.
According to their website,the Wranglers already have 323 commitments for season tickets -although no money has been collected - and Dewar, as chair of the four-man franchise committee, was impressed by the application.
"100 Mile has put a good proposal out there," Dewar said. "There are a lot of benefits."
Located two hours north of Kamloops, the district of 100 Mile House is home to about 20,000 people. The town is located 100 miles up the Cariboo Wagon Trail from Lillooet, hence the name.
Its rink is the South Cariboo Recreation Centre, which is 10 years old and has the capacity to seat 700 fans. It has played host to B.C. Hockey events in the past.
If B.C. Hockey approves the move, there will have to be a change of divisions within the KIJHL's Okanagan-Shuswap Conference.
Right now, the Storm, Heat, Grizzlies, Eagles and North Okanagan Knights play in the Doug Birks Division, with the Kelowna Chiefs, Lakers, Princeton Posse, Summerland Steam and Osoyoos Coyotes comprising the Okanagan Division.
With 100 Mile House in the picture, there are four possible moves the league is considering. The one Dewar favours is moving the Knights, who play their home games in Armstrong, into the Okanagan Division.
The realignment decision will be made at the league's annual general meeting in June.

With fewer than five weeks until the 15th annual UC Davis Wine Executive Program, a limited number of seats are still available.
The innovative program, a partnership between the UC Davis Graduate School of Management and Department of Viticulture and Enology, teaches the fundamentals of winemaking and wine industry management skills, from grape to bottle.
With shifts in consumer demographics, scarce water and stiff competition in the global beverage market, how will wine industry leaders adapt to this time of great change and position their businesses for a successful future?
The landscape presents opportunities and pitfalls for every player in the wine industry. Against this backdrop, the UC Davis Graduate School of Management and Department of Viticulture and Enology will host the 15th annual UC Davis Wine Executive Program March 22-27 on campus.
Earlier this month, UC Davis Executive Education at the Graduate School of Management brought together over 80 participants for our inaugural Wine Packaging Strategy: Decide, Design, Impress program. To bring an interactive element to the program, we asked participants to bring wine products that "spoke to them" through packaging. Over 40 products were entered in our contest, representing a huge cross-section of wines and packages. The winners were chosen the old fashioned way, with each program attendee (participants and speakers alike) getting a vote.
The Wine, Packaging Strategy: Decide, Design, Impress Program at UC Davis is THE place to participate in a cutting-edge, forward-looking discussion around the way consumers will experience wine packaging over the next five years.
If you make packaging or branding and marketing decisions, this is a dialogue in which you need to have a voice! Expect to show up at the program with your sleeves rolled up, ready to make some serious decisions about your packaging.
Jordan Kivelstadt is the Founder and CEO of Free Flow Wines. He founded Free Flow Wines with Dan Donahoe in 2009, and has been leading the growth of the business since the beginning. He has made wine in four countries, founded his own bottle brand, Kivelstadt Cellars, manages his family's organic 10-acre Sonoma County, California vineyard and continues to innovate in the industry he loves.
What does the winery of the future look like? How do you market and brand your wine to differentiate it from the thousands of other competitors on the market? What cutting edge industry research is available to help you guide your wine business decisions? These are just a few of the questions discussed by participants of the 14th Annual UC Davis Wine Executive Program.
Over the course of the four-day program, we covered a lot of ground.
When a sommelier – or your spouse or friend – ceremoniously pulls the cork on a bottle of wine, the aromas of flowers or fruit should fill the air. But sometimes the unmistakable funky reek of mold wafts out instead, the hallmark of a "corked" wine.
In its 14th year, the UC Davis Wine Executive Program is uniquely designed to teach the fundamentals of winemaking and management skills necessary to be profitable in today's challenging and dynamic wine industry. Sessions are tailored to help industry leaders grow their businesses by expanding on such topics as building one's financial acumen and expanding a company's current marketing and branding strategies.
Despite long-term concerns about climate change and regulatory pressures, California wine industry leaders are once again quite bullish about the wine business, according to two new surveys conducted by the University of California, Davis.
Findings from the surveys of wine executives and industry professionals will be presented at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, during the Wine Industry Financial Symposium at the Napa Valley Marriott in Napa, Calif.

He has more than 34 years of experience in international food and agriculture research and policy, marketing, and market development. Batwin recently retired from the Foreign Agriculture Service of USDA, where from 2006 to 2010 he was the Director of Agricultural Trade Office at the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai, China.
Robert Smiley is professor emeritus of management and served as dean of the Graduate School of Management from 1989 to 2003. He is co-director with David Block, Chair, Viticulture & Enology Program (V&E), of the UC Davis Wine Executive Program. This year's program will be on March 24 -28, 2013.
Here at UC Davis Executive Education, we're pleased to announce that registration for the Wine Executive Program 2013 is now open. The program will be held from March 24-28 at our Gallagher Hall Facility. Over the past twelve years, over 700 wine industry executives have attended this unique and informative program.
Josh Camire is the Director of Digital Marketing and Communications at Jackson Family Wines.In this blog, he discusses how to humanize your wine brand, and toauthentically connect with your audiences on social platforms.
When it comes to connecting with any audience, but especially a social audience, the key is to humanize your brand. In doing that, a major obstacle marketers confront is some of the perceived snobbery that is deeply entrenched in the wine industry.
Despite a significant, long-term shortage of grapes and economic pressures that are putting the squeeze on profit margins, California wine industry leaders are cautiously optimistic about the future, according to two new surveys conducted by the University of California, Davis.
Findings from the surveys of wine executives and winemakers were presented today during the Wine Industry Financial Symposium at the Napa Valley Marriott in Napa, Calif.
In 2012, there's no need to make a case for social media—it's ubiquitous, and the necessity of participating in those channels is recognized by many wineries. However, the wine industry is very different from other marketplaces, so social media needs to be approached in a unique way. From a business standpoint, we have a challenge because there are 130,000 domestic and imported wines introduced every year, and there are very few companies with significant market share. We're faced with a market that is incredibly fragmented, making it difficult to develop any kind of brand loyalty.
How will you manage your business during the tight supply of grapes in the coming years? How do you create an effective social media plan? Is there a real wine market in China? Participants discussed these questions (and many more) during the 12th Annual UC Davis Wine Executive Program, presented by the UC Davis Graduate School of Management and Department of Viticulture.
(Davis, Calif.) – With a joint goal of speeding the transfer of new technologies from the laboratory to the commercial marketplace, the UC Davis Graduate School of Management, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories have announced a new partnership for researchers to develop their entrepreneurial skills.

Uzbekistan's parliamentary elections on December 21 will offer voters a choice, but no hope for change.
In announcing that Georgia's parliamentary elections would take place October 1, President Mikheil Saakashvili's administration affirmed its commitment to conduct what one official said would be an "exemplary" vote. New technologies are helping election monitors hold officials to such pledges, but they still have limitations, experts say.
If all goes as envisioned on June 28, Mongolia's parliament will no longer be a male bastion.
During the past month, several Armenian government officials either resigned or were dismissed by Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian, including high-ranking figures such as Armenian Police Chief Alik Sarkisian and Yerevan Mayor and Presidential Chief of Staff Karen Karpetyan. There are also indications in Armenian media that the wave of dismissals and resignations will continue.
With its presidential election on October 30, Kyrgyzstan will make history as the first post-Soviet Central Asian nation to experience a transfer of power via the ballot box. But that doesn't necessarily mean the process will be peaceful.

One thought on "Contact"
I would like to write to Chichakli via e-mail (if he is agrees to such correspondence). I have registered with the Bureau of Prisons e-mail system,
but need Mr. Chichakli's code number for
such communication. Thanks for any possible help. Earlier communicattion in this regard (to you, Mr. Mapp) seems to have been lost due to filers of some type.

General: Why Not Throw Out The Rulebook?
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion 5/22/09 8:02:10 AM
I liked Tabula Rasa alot too, but it just seemed like they gave up on it after a while. After a month of play I had tried all it had to offer, I always ended up doing the same things over and over again. The npc invasions of the cities were fun at start, but it seemed very pointless, it could be fun to implement an AI director like the L4D one to add some randomness and maybe some consequenses to your actions. Though I do miss sitting on a rock outside of a town with my sniper rifle shootthing random mobs. :) Speaking of throwing out the rulebook, Mortal Online seems to be doing that. :) |

I remember Tabula Rasa ran their whole marketing thing about thinking out of the box and starting over with a clean slate. While in reality it was not actually that much different from the cookie cutter MMOs it failed pretty badly... I'm still waiting till the day they give me cyborg penguins with katanas, flying around in purple space ships trying to conquer the breakfast table through the use of a reverse leveling system based on stealth. :) |
