I can't even vaguely recall seeing that more than once, but I know I have seen it before. It's rare, though. There are very few jerks at the Cafe. I think the reason the Cafe is so large and is such a great place is that the culture here discounts vet status and does rely on the quality of the posts. As long as that is the case the Cafe will continue to be among the best of the fantasy sports forums.

Get out the gummy bears and jelly beans, because the queen of kookoo, my beloved Kelly Bensimon, is returning to Real Housewives of New York! It's one well-kept secret, as I've been covering season six filming all summer and hadn't heard a peep about her rejoining the wives for a few scenes. Obviously Kelly doesn't go too far into detail about her role, but I would expect to see her stirring up shit like Lauri Peterson did when she came back to RHOC.
Kelly spilled the jellybeans on her upcoming to return to RHONY in an exclusive interview with Wetpaint. Based on her comments, I would expect to see her help ignite the rumored Carole Radziwill vs. Aviva Drescher feud.
Season 6 of RHoNY is coming back soon. Will you watch it?
I'm on it! I'm in a couple of scenes with LuAnn. And I love Carole Radziwell. She's so smart. I like Heather too — she's a great woman.
How was it filming again?
It was fun. It was a nice opportunity to hang out with Luann and Carole. It was real life. It wasn't fabricated stuff. No enemies and no kooky craziness. It was great!
Because she can't get enough attention and she holds a grudge like Melissa Gorga, Kelly decided to trash former co-star Bethenny Frankel. She must've skipped her meds one day, because her exclusive with In Touch reads just like the craziness that made me fall in love with her to begin with. Yet, Bethenny is the one that "needs to move on."
"She will not shut up about a TV show that was not even real. I have never said anything about her. I always keep my mouth shut and it's like, 'Oh that crazy Kelly…' I mean I took the wrath from all that, and it's just really unsettling. We don't want to hear what she thinks about a fabricated television show that I was actually a part of. It's four years ago… she needs to move on! She will literally suck the blood from your child to get ratings. I am literally over her, so over her!"
Yes, Kelly. It sure sounds like you're over her…

And finally, an area that is not often considered in the discussion of in vitro ADMET testing, assays to screen compounds for their influence on the reproductive cycle and embryonic development. I spoke with Rita Cortvrindt, CEO of EggCentris, about her company's intricate in vitro bioassays that closely mimic the in vivo physiology of the target systems of the reproductive system. EggCentris has developed a number of multiparametric in vitro bioassays that are applicable to screening chemical and pharmaceutical compounds. "Our primary assay, the follicle bioassay, provides for the simultaneous evaluation of folliculogenesis, steroidogenesis, and oogenesis," explained Cortvrindt. "The assay mimics in vitro the physiological processes of the ovary and allows the prediction of the impact on female health and fertile capacity."Coupled with the in vitro maturation assay to evaluate the meiotic process of the oocyte and the in vitro fertilization assay to evaluate perturbation of the conception process, EggCentris evaluates all aspects of oocyte developmental competence. To look at the impact of a compound on embryo development, the company also developed the Mouse Embryo Peri-implantation Assay and performs the Embryonic Stem Cell test to analyze preimplantation embryo development and predict embryo toxicity, respectively."These assays were developed applying the 4R principle for laboratory animal use: replacement, reduction, refinement, and relevance," reported Cortvrindt. "Replacement: in vivo studies done by a battery of in vitro bioassays; reduction: bioassays well designed to maximize the output and minimize the need of animals for primary tissue cultures; refinement: tissues are treated ex vivo, avoiding animal exposure and distress; and relevance: the bioassays deliver relevant information that correlates with the in vivo physiology."The in vitro bioassays are also valuable tools to assess the bioactivity of new compounds for fertility treatment and anticonception or to assess the impact on the steroid pathway. They can replace or add information to ovulation induction studies to assess ovarian responsivity to gonadotropins or to embryo transfer studies to assess embryo quality and uterine receptivity. As a contract research laboratory, EggCentris approaches the complex processes of the reproductive function with a battery of in vitro bioassays. Not all processes, however, can as yet be modeled in vitro. If the established bioassays are not adequate to resolve the question, then new, more appropriate in vitro models are developed, or carefully designed in vivo studies are included in the study project.

The property rehabilitation process consists of three key components: the interior renovation, exterior renovation, and the individuals you choose to accomplish it. This property had many cosmetic flaws and very limited "wow" factor as far as salability.
Park City, once an unknown mining town 30 minutes east of Salt Lake City, is now considered the Beverly Hills of Utah. Home to approximately 7822 people, it is best known for two dynamic attractions; skiing and the Sundance Film Festival.
90% of buyers purchase a home based on an emotional attachment. The best way to create an emotional attachment is what we like to call curb appeal and cosmetics.
Follow Utah-based real estate investors, Doug Clark and Mike Baird in Flip Men, as they attempt to turn foreclosed property into profit. After a fierce daily bidding war at auction, the duo acquires homes sight unseen. When they first enter a newly purchased house, they never know what's behind the door: a biohazard, a meth lab, or an angry former tenant who just doesn't want to leave. Now they have to clean up the place, renovate it, stage it, get it to market, and flip it…fast. It's a race against time, because every day means thousands of dollars out of their pocket. They're the ultimate prospectors, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

Coaches Misto, Ward bring a little Westerly flair to the ECC
In 2007, Meredith Ward was the Gatorade Rhode Island Girls' Basketball Player of the Year, competing for Westerly High School where she is the all-time leading scorer with 2,226 points.
It was during a preseason scrimmage that Stonington field hockey goalie Annie Knizeski, a junior assuming the role as the varsity starter for the first time, was confidently directing her teammates, talking, talking, talking.
And then she missed the ball as it rolled into the goal cage.
"It was like, 'Annie, you have to also play the goal,'" Bears coach Jenna Tucchio said with a laugh. "She had to balance the information coming out of her mouth with actually tending the goal."
Knizeski had seven saves Tuesday night as sixth-seeded Stonington steamrolled No. 2 Immaculate of Danbury 3-0 in the semifinals of the Class S state tournament, giving the Bears their first state championship berth since 1991.
That was two days after the first-year goalie made 11 saves in Stonington's 2-1 victory over three-time defending Class S champ Granby Memorial, a day the Bears' defense did not break despite being peppered with 24 Granby penalty corners.
Knizeski, who is 5-foot-11, follows directly in the footsteps of two other successful Stonington goalies.
Denise Domnarski (Class of 2009) was the Bears' goalie when they made the semifinals the last time in 2008, falling to Granby. She was a two-time member of The Day's All-Area team. Domnarski was replaced by Julie Royer (Class of 2012), an All-ECC and All-Area pick.
"I was a little nervous at first. I looked up to Julie and Denise," Knizeski said. "But ever since the North Branford game (1-0 Stonington loss in the season opener), I've been asking (Tucchio) what I need to correct."
There were a few times in the first half Tuesday where, with Stonington clinging to a 1-0 lead, an Immaculate goal seemed imminent, something that could have changed the tenor of the game.
Knizeski made one save while laying on the ground and another on a breakaway by Immaculate's best player.
"One of them was an inch from the goal line, but it rolled out of bounds," said Knizeski, Stonington's ECC Sportsmanship Award winner.
"She's built a lot of confidence," Tucchio said. "She's like the rest of the team, the more pressure she's under, the better she plays."
In 2007, Meredith Ward was the Gatorade Rhode Island Girls' Basketball Player of the Year, competing for Westerly High School where she is the all-time leading scorer with 2,226 points.
Norwich Free Academy girls' basketball coach Bill Scarlata picked up his 500th career victory Tuesday, a 49-16 win for the Wildcats over Ledyard.
Before taking over at New London this season, Holly Misto coached girls' basketball at Westerly High School for the last nine years, where the Bulldogs abided by Rhode Island's 30-second shot clock.

This merging of the elemental with the man-made is a theme that runs through the architects' work and is experienced most profoundly in their designs for the Northwest. "The light is so bloody gray here, not silvery, as Jim calls it," Rick Sundberg jokes. "You really need to be able to back away from it and get cozy. But when the weather is spectacular, you want this seamless interior and exterior." That climatic quirk has led the ever-inquisitive foursome to invent new ways to manipulate light and space. Since the 1980s, Olson has been perfecting what he calls the cosmic ceiling, inspired by James Turrell's work. A domed ceiling with hidden clerestories, it fills with light and doesn't have visible boundaries, creating the illusion of infinite space. There's a miniature one, 18 inches deep, in Olson's own home eight floors above Pioneer Square, where he has put some of his ideas to the test.
Concrete pavers flow into the living-room pavilion of Bluff House (1992), which looks out on Elliot Bay and Puget Sound. Its materials—structural concrete piers, tube steel, glass walls, stained cedar siding, and metal roofing—defer to nature. Inside, the layered ceiling seems to float above concrete beams and piers, freeing the long walls of vertical supports.
The partners have developed other trademark techniques to help free architecture from its confines. There's the so-called magic window, typically a 7-foot-by-14-foot piece of glass with an invisible frame set outside the opening, which makes the room feel like part of the outdoors. And ceilings, with knife-edged soffits and a ribbon of clerestory windows tucked behind, often appear to float. "In the Northwest we get this foggy light that you almost feel you can carve," Olson says. "You can create little shafts of light. It's a wonderful thing and becomes a very important discussion while we're designing just about everything."
challenging the commodities
By contrast, Kundig expresses the indoor-outdoor connection in an edgier, more physical way and has explored it most dramatically with his enormous doors. Chicken Point cabin, on Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho, has a 19-foot front door, absurdly tall in proportion to the building but right on scale with the surrounding firs and ponderosa pines. "It celebrates the idea that this is an extraordinary place, something to remember," Kundig says. The steel door opens onto a narrow hallway that obscures the surprise of the soaring living room, with its 20-foot-by-30-foot pivoting window. Conceived as an overscaled tent flap, the 6-ton contraption opens to a dazzling view of water and mountains. Kundig canted it back 8 degrees for counterweight and, with Seattle fabrication artist Phil Turner, designed an old-fashioned lever and fulcrum and pulley system dubbed the Gizmo. It can be safely operated by the family's 6-year-old son, who is responsible for opening the window upon arrival.
Such architectural and mechanical extravagances indulge everyone's patience—the owners, contractors, and design team. But because invention is such an integral part of the firm's design process, its policy is to hire soup-to-nuts people who are interested in learning how things are assembled. Architects who don't have engineering and mechanical skills, Kundig says, won't know how to tweak those systems in ways appropriate to a client and site.
Kundig got permission early in his childhood to reinvent the common. "When you challenge the commodities and ask the questions, it reintroduces people to the wonderful thing they're doing, like opening a door or window," he says. "If you have a little house, why not put in a big window, or give a big room a small window? Sometimes there are things that are hard to articulate to clients, or it's too much information at the time. Two years later they'll finally get something. They'll call and say, 'I'm learning more and more about my home.' Those calls are so rewarding."

Need For Speed 2 SE
Need for Speed II is a 1997 racing video game, developed by Electronic Arts Canada and published by Electronic Arts. It is a part of the Need for Speed series and sequel to The Need for Speed (1994), significantly deviating from the emphasis of realism in The Need for Speed to arcade-like gameplay, though it introduces the car tuning. As does its predecessor, Need for Speed II features several exotic cars, and includes tracks set in various parts of the world. The game also opted to remove police pursuits introduced in The Need for Speed.
Special features
As in the original Need for Speed, the game features detailed specifications, history, and audio commentaries on each vehicle. The largest feature are several full motion video (FMV) segments for each of the cars, several of them being the professional produced videos for the concept vehicles. Additionally, each vehicle interior could be viewed through genuine photographs taken in a 360 degree panoramic view. This marks the last time such extravagant features are to be found in the Need for Speed series as future games render any material completely in 3D.
It is also possible to enter a number of codes at the start menu which if entered correctly, would make a swooshing noise. These codes replaced the chosen car with a vehicle from the games backdrop traffic. These vehicles could then be raced instead and had more realistic performance. Background vehicles included a Volkswagen Beetle, Volkswagen Variant, Mazda MX5, Jeep Comanche, Volkswagen Transporter, Yellow School Bus, Citroën 2CV, Jeep YJ, Toyota Landcruiser, Audi Quattro, two Unimogs, BMW 530i, Mercedes-Benz SL 500, and Volvo 850 station wagon.You could also drive various parts of the scenery including a large green T-rex, a little wooden kiosk and a western style wagon. The scenery items made no engine noise but would always make a tire screech when moving off the start line.

Lewdness Involving Child
Lewdness (sometime called indecent exposure) involving a child is a serious offense, and includes the following behavior:
- Performing a sex act in the presence of a child
- Exposing one's private parts in the presence of a child
If these behaviors were done either (1) under circumstances you knew would likely cause alarm, or (2) with intent to arouse or gratify sexual desires, then you could be charged with a crime. In Utah, lewdness involving a child is either a class A misdemeanor (if this is your first time and your're not already on a sex-offender registry list) or a third-degree felony. In addition to criminal sanctions, the public humiliation of this type of conviction is severe.
While it is embarrassing to talk about being charged with a crime like this, you need personal, aggressive criminal defense representation. Brown Law's Utah criminal defense team will defend your freedom every step of the way. From your first appearance in court, to your trial, we will be there. Let our experience defend you.

How to Make Alkaline Water at Home
Every Method of Water Alkalizer: Pro's & Con's
Since launching my Definitive Guide to Alkaline Water a few weeks ago, I have been inundated with questions about which is the best source of alkaline water.
I personally have a clear winner but I really want to give you the most impartial and well rounded advice that I can – plus I also believe in giving you all of the facts, so you can make up your own mind.
Remember, one size….fits ONE.
So here is my complete run down of every type of product, substance, machine, liquid or powder that has ever claimed to make alkaline water, so that you can make the best decision on how to make alkaline water at home.
How to Make Alkaline Water at Home
In this guide I teach you:
- Lemon (& lime) water
- pH drops
- Alkalising powders
- Britta/mainstream filters
- Distillers
- Reverse osmosis filters
- Alkaline water ionizers
SEE MORE: Get the Full Definitive Guide to Making Alkaline Water at Home Here
I think you will agree, this just about covers them all! So if you are interested in knowing more about the best way to make alkaline water, to suit you and your family – for the budget that works for you then you will know this after you read this article.
Lemon (& Lime) Water
Cheap, Easy – But Not For 24/7 Use
Lemon (or lime) water is quite simply, a glass of filtered, lukewarm water with fresh lemon juice squeezed into it. As I explain here, the lemon water, despite being citric acid, has an alkalising effect on the body because it is a low sugar fruit rich in alkaline minerals.
It should be used first thing in the morning when you first wake up as it is a great cleansing drink that will hydrate, stimulate your metabolism and digestive system and will get your body moving. It also tastes great first thing.
You can drink it at other times during the day, but it does not replace the more sophisticated ways of getting your alkaline water, for reasons you will find out further down this article as you carry on reading.
I would certainly never rely upon lemon water as my sole source of alkaline water. It really shouldn't even be classified as alkaline water because it misses almost all of the benefits that the other alkaline water methods listed below provide. It really is just a nice, refreshing, cleansing drink that is healthy and pleasant to drink first thing in the morning instead of hitting the coffee.
I repeat – this is not a sufficient method and I would not recommend drinking it all day, every day if you are looking to make alkaline water a big part of your lifestyle. Lemon water doesn't really hit the mark.
It is tasty, and it is refreshing and it is healthy – but see it for what it is – a great start to the day.
PROS: cheap, delicious and a great start to the day.
CONS: not of sufficient quality to use all day every day and is not really an alkaline water. Does not provide the benefits that the other methods described below provide.
pH Drops
Get 70% of the job done – very effectively. Great on-the-go!
pH Drops such as Dr Young's PuripHy and pHion Balance's pH Booster are my 2nd favourite method of creating perfect alkaline water (you'll find my favourite method if you read on…!)
pH drops work in by infusing the liquid with highly alkaline minerals to raise the alkalinity of the water and give you a real alkaline boost!
Each different brand has a different technique but the effect is similar across all of them – you get high pH water.
The extent of the alkalinity depends on your source water pH, but with an average tap water pH of 6.8-7.2 you should expect to get a pH of between 8-9 from using pH drops, especially Dr Young's PuripHy.
I personally love to use these drops when I'm on-the-go and away from home as they are brilliant for making any water alkaline. PuripHy also helps to decrease the acid bacteria in the water.
If you do not have, or cannot afford a water alkalising machine, such as a water ionizer, then these drops are, in my opinion the next best thing.
PROS: they do increase the pH of the water you add them to and are very portable so great on the go.
CONS: cost between £30-40 per month and I would still recommend filtering your water before usage. Given the cost, you also do not get the benefits of ionized water from a water ionizer including the added antioxidants that ionized water provides.
Alkalising Powder
Not An Option to Make Alkaline Water – These Supplements Are Not Meant For This!
I've recently had a few people emailing me asking if it is safe to make alkaline water by adding alkaline powders (such as Alka-Clear and baking soda) to their tap water.
The bottom line is – no – this is not a safe or recommended way to make alkaline water.
These are fantastic supplements, but if you are trying to make alkaline water this will not work.
Remember, you are aiming to drink 3-4 litres of alkaline water each day and if you were adding enough powder, sodium bicarbonate, for instance to the water (which would be 2 or more teaspoons per litre to get to pH 9.5) you would be therefore drinking 6-8 teaspoons of sodium bicarbonate per day. I do not recommend this.
I would never recommend you try to get your alkaline water quota by adding, what is effectively, a supplement to your water that could push your intake of specific nutrients WAY past the safe levels.
Supplements such as pHour Salts are AMAZING at alkalizing the body and helping to buffer acids, and I highly recommend them as part of your daily routine, but they are not a way of making alkaline water you would drink all day, every day.
PROS: these are not a way to make alkaline water, they are supplements.
CONS: unsafe to drink these supplements in that quantity. Use them as they are intended – to buffer acids, not as a means to make alkaline water.
Mainstream Water Filters
Minor Benefits, But They Make Acid Water
Now, I am not totally opposed to these high-street filters, because they do actually do a reasonable job of removing some impurities from your tap water, but they do, somehow, manage to make the water more acidic than tap water.
So you could potentially combine the use of a desktop filter with pH drops to get a reasonable job done, but the water, after filtration would sit at around pH 5.5-6.5 meaning that the pH drops would only take your water up to around pH 7.5-8, not the pH 9.5 that Dr Young recommends for optimal health.
Plus having owned one of these filters many years ago, it is amazing how expensive it is to continuously replace the filters, that only seem to last a few weeks.
PROS: cheap and reasonable at removing impurities.
CONS: lowers the pH of water and you miss out on the antioxidant benefits and small cluster size benefits of the ionized water. Also have quite expensive cartridges.
Water Distillers
Great Filtration, Very User Unfriendly & Needs pH Drops
Distillers use the most effective method of water purification: distillation. Water is boiled, killing bacteria and viruses, then vaporized to separate out minerals, lead, bacteria, nitrates and other contaminants. The vapor is then condensed back into liquid form that is 99.9 percent pure.
So this does a fantastic job of solving 1/4 of the puzzle – it purifies the water. However, it leaves you needing to do a lot more for it to become the perfect alkaline water as it is not only left at pH 7 (mildly acid/neutral), but it is also lacking the antioxidants and smaller water cluster (for better hydration) that other alkaline water machines provide (read on).
You can couple a distiller with pH drops to get yourself half way there and, of course, this does provide very pure water with a reasonable pH. However, I believe that there are better methods.
Regardless of the other benefits of the other machines (machines such as the water ionizers) distillers have a few drawbacks. They take an awfully long time to product 4 litres of water (around 3-4 hours) which is an issue if you are wanting to water yourself, your partner and your kids (the machine would basically have to be running all day) and due to this I consider it to be quite energy inefficient. Boiling 4 litres of water for 4 hours and then collecting the condensation does not seem the most environmentally aware method of water purification – but it is very effective.
PROS: excellent purification.
CONS: doesn't alkalise the water, very time consuming and energy inefficient. You will still need pH drops.
Reverse Osmosis
Not Recommended At All
Reverse osmosis does a fine job of filtering tap water, but is more beneficial to large scale water filtration needs. It is incredibly energy inefficient and provides you with acidic water.
Therefore it is not worth the effort or expense because there are simply better alternatives out there.
PROS: filters the water and it comes out of your kitchen tap.
CONS: Makes acidic water. So not suitable for our aim.
Alkaline Water Ionizers
The Best Way To Get Alkaline Water – Hands Down
Alkaline water ionizers are, without doubt, the best, most efficient way to make alkaline water.
There are obviously the up front costs of buying an ionizer, but I can honestly say that this was the best investment I have ever made.
Alkaline water ionizers provide the four key benefits of alkaline water:
- High pH: you can set the pH you want from 3-12.5 and can guarantee yourself the perfect pH 9.5 water on tap
- Antioxidant Rich: the ionization process (separation of H+ from OH- ions) not only alkalises the water, but it also makes the water rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants are measured by something called ORP, (click here for a full definition of ORP) and to give you something relative – the ORP of cola is +300, tap water is +125, green tea is -150 and ionized water is -450. Obviously, the lower the number the better!
- More Hydrating: the ionization process also makes the cluster size of the water smaller. To keep this as non-technical as possible, tap water has around 20 clusters and ionized water has around 4 clusters – this means that when you drink ionized water it is able to permeate your cells more easily, giving you increased hydration and less bloating. Click here to read more about how ionized water is more hydrating.
- Filtered: the in-built filter in the ionizer removes bacteria, yeast, chemicals, heavy metals and pesticides
To bring this back from the slightly scientific angle I just took there (!) these machines give you high pH, antioxidant rich, ultra-hydrating, ultra-filtered water on tap. You can have as much of it as you like. All day, every day.
None of the other methods above give you the high pH – plus these other benefits of the antioxidants and increased hydration. It may seem obvious – but I love my ionizer.
Plus (and this is a whole other article) – the ionizer also gives you ultra high pH water (which can be used to wash pesticides from plants, clean stains and more) and low pH water (which can be used to sterilize surfaces, remove makeup, tone the skin, reduce the symptoms of eczema and more – click here for a full list of acid water uses).
This only really scratches the surface of water ionizers, click here to read more

Quotations, sayings and aphorisms about food and beverages, eating and drinking, food appreciation, restaurants, chefs, cooks, food critics, etc.
"In the United States all business not transacted over the telephone is accomplished in conjunction with alcohol or food, often under conditions of advanced intoxication. This is a fact of the utmost importance for the visitor of limited funds . . . for it means that the most expensive restaurants are, with rare exceptions, the worst."
John Kenneth Galbraith, economist
"Once learnt, this business of cooking was to prove an ever growing burden. It scarcely bears thinking about, the time and labour that man and womankind has devoted to the preparation of dishes that are to melt and vanish in a moment like smoke or a dream, like a shadow, and as a post that hastes by, and the air closes behind them, afterwards no sign where they went is to be found."
Rose Macaulay (1881-1958)
'Personal Pleasures'
"[Breadbaking is] one of those almost hypnotic businesses, like a dance from some ancient ceremony. It leaves you filled with one of the world's sweetest smells...there is no chiropractic treatment, no Yoga exercise, no hour of meditation in a music-throbbing chapel. that will leave you emptier of bad thoughts than this homely ceremony of making bread."
M. F. K. Fisher (1908-1992)
'The Art of Eating'
"Love and business and family and religion and art and patriotism are nothing but shadows of words when a man is starving."

There's nothing like a little Monday morning print and pattern indulgence and I always love to see what textile designer Clare Nicolson is up to so let's enjoy her for a moment, shall we?
Clare is so super talented with her cute colorful designs, it's fun to see what's she's cooking up. Her cushions are as sweet as ever and her tea towels are the best.
Overall, I'm impressed with her designs and think her work is getting stronger all the time. Go Clare, Go!

I'm always watching Metremade on etsy to see what this Australian textile designer will have next. Ooooh look at these two patterns…
Currently, she's working with black and green and I love the results. Both patterns are available in either two colorways, green/white or black/white and I think they're very special – so fresh. I'd love to see these on a bench or chair, especially a chair like this one.

Here's another little shop I liked in Stockholm called HildaHilda located in the SoFo district. The playful prints are joyous and energetic and for some reason, reminded me of textiles I'd been exposed to during my early years spent in England. I really liked the weight of them, so thick and tightly woven, making them perfect for upholstery and throw cushions because they'll last forever. I loved the dogs and window patterns the best.
One thing amongst many that I completely loved about Stockholm is that good design truly is accessible to all income levels. It wasn't just at DesignTorget, ?hl?ns, or Svenskt Tenn, but great things could be found in even the budget shops and especially the vintage and antiques stores.
Some textiles that I purchased, I love the new Elisabeth Dunker pattern to the far right called Str?ssel, I have 2 yards now for sewing a roman shade for my kitchen and it cost about $80 USD total for the fabric from ?hl?ns.
This (below) is ?hl?ns, it's right in the center of Stockholm so you can jump off the train at Central station and go directly upstairs to ?hl?ns, DesignTorget, even an inexpensive store called Lagerhaus that we discovered while roaming around that I'd not heard of before. I'll show you Lagerhaus further down in this post. But first, back to ?hl?ns. It reminded me a lot of Herrods in London or KaDeWe in Berlin.
The sales lady in their fabric department was so sweet, she even allowed me to take a few photos. Look at these gorgeous bolts of drool-inducing Scandinavian prints. I had to hold myself back because I truly wanted to buy a yard or two of each for further projects.
I should add that this store not only has amazing textiles, but the best selection of things for the home, like curtains, duvets, cookware, and I can't even get into their floor of fashion. I could have dropped several thousand dollars on each floor, everything was so on target with my personal taste that I felt like I had walked into a giant decor8 blog or that perhaps the entire store wasn't called ?hl?ns at all, but Holly-Land perhaps? Have you ever been into a store where you could own everything? For me, ?hl?ns was such a store. (Along with Pure And Simple, a boutique store near our hotel.)
Of course, good design should be available to all, and in Stockholm, it truly is. Lagerhaus located at Birger Jarlsgatan 18 was so inexpensive that I had to pinch myself, in some cases prices were lower than IKEA. From tin tea cans to bread boards, curtains, pillows, decals, postcards, mugs… Okay just about anything you can think of, Lagerhaus had it in abundance at great prices. I snapped a few quick photos while inside their store to give you a glimpse. Most of what you see is under $10!
Speaking of affordable, Swedish blogger Emma took me to a Salvation Army store in SoFo that is a fair trade store and they had some incredible stuff for the lowest prices. Of course, there's a lot of vintage shops around the city, a few of my favorites include Retro Etc., where I found this bread board that is 30 years old for under $20. This shop was so color loaded that you nearly need sunglasses to walk through the front door. And it's not just retro vintage stuff, there's lots of brand new goodies to look through like Mibo lighting and Orla Kiely deliciousness.
I also must comment on how easy it was to find gorgeous textiles in Sweden. Almost every store that offered pillows or curtains also sold the same fabric from bolts, you could purchase whatever you wanted and as a sewer, I appreciated seeing this so much. My 'issue' back in America is all the "to the trade only" nonsense, and although I can walk in and buy what I need, many cannot so they're banned from these items unless they have an contact or hire a designer, etc.
Back home, the common shopper, and I say common with all due respect just to mean someone who doesn't belong to the trade, has to go to fabric stores in either the big cities or the suburban chain fabric stores and hope to find some stylish textiles because what they really want is only available to certain people, if you know what I mean, those trade people. And I dislike this very much.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this whole "to the trade" even exists in Sweden because again, good fabric was all over the city and anyone could walk up to a sales clerk and purchase yardage in their favorite print. I couldn't believe it. I really wish that in America, this whole practice is eventually done away with because it shuts out so many from things that they would otherwise own if only they had access to it.
I like Elle Decor, House and Garden, and other high end glossies for their gorgeous style and eye for design, but when I check the resource guide and see 90% of everything shown in the magazine is mostly to the trade only, I get this sinking feeling because I know that my friends are shut out and it's not fair. Then, on the opposite side of the spectrum, you have design-friendly and extremely accessible and savvy Stockholm. Another reason why this city completely rocked.
{I'm heading out to a fusion Japanese Jazz concert with friends, so I'll be back tomorrow with more Stockholm finds for you to enjoy.}

If I splash out far too many crumbs,
Do the pigeons need a supplement of Tums?
Am I blameworthy and ripe for a beating,
Encouraging them in their rampant overeating?
Will you go and call me amicus pigeoni,
A poor excuse for a feathery kind of guy?
Is it really better to give than receive
If it's only me myself I deceive?
First, though, before you judge my charity:
Did he who made the pigeon make thee?

Q: In THE EMPEROR'S CHILDREN, the introduction of a few outsiders into the world of the main characters drastically alters the lives of everyone. What were their lives like before the appearance of Bootie and Ludovic Seeley on the scene?
Well, Marina had been living at home for the better part of a year, trying to get her book finished; and Julius and Danielle were living pretty much as they had done for some time, each in their apartment. But the three of them spent a lot of time together — more time than they do once the book is underway -- in the way very close, old friends do when they are single and childless.
Q: The first chapter is called "Our Chef is Very Famous in London", which gets to the heart of things that a reputation one place may not carry to another. What made you decide to start the book with that?
Danielle — like Marina and Julius also, albeit in slightly different ways — is very much a New Yorker. Her whole sense of the world, post-college, has been focused entirely on New York. I wanted to begin the novel in a rare moment, for her, in which she has some perspective on her own life, some sense of its provincialism. All our lives are provincial, no matter where we live; but New Yorkers can often indulge the fantasy that they are exempt from this. It's harder to do from the other side of the world.
Q: What is THE EMPEROR'S CHILDREN about, to you? Where did the initial inspiration for the novel come from?
That's a big question. I don't think I have a simple answer. What's it about? I hope it's about what it's like to be alive in a certain place in a certain time. It's about a group of people with certain aspirations and expectations and limitations, and the way they contend with what is thrown at them. Probably in my mind it's about ambition, and what it means, or meant, and didn't, in that particular historical moment. And about confronting limitations. And about making a self. All those things. As for where the inspiration for the novel came from, it's lost in the mists of time. I began the novel (with the same characters but in a different form) in early 2001, a long time ago; and later that year abandoned it, because it seemed impossible to continue. It took me a year or more to come back to it, after failing with a couple of other things; and by then it seemed to have an organic necessity, an urgency in my mind, that has kept me from worrying, ever since, about where the idea for it came from.
Q: Murray Thwaite is reminiscent of a few journalistic bigwigs… was there anyone in particular you wanted him to bring to mind? And if so, will you ever tell?
As anybody who writes fiction knows, it's a magpie affair. To create a character, you take a shiny button here, a strand of hair there, a bit of tinsel from the garbage can, and build something which, you hope, will look like a person. All the characters in this book (and in my other books too) were created this way; and all of them — including Murray — contain elements of myself in them. I wouldn't go so far as saying "Murray Thwaite, c'est moi", but he certainly feels like a part of me.
Q: You live in Boston but chose to write a novel about New York City, focusing on its upper crust. Why this world?
I've only lived in Boston for a few years. I lived in DC before that. And London before that. It may seem illogical, then, to have chosen New York, but I feel as though it's a picture of my parallel life, of a life I might have had. I went to college in Connecticut, and all my friends moved straight to New York. Most of them are still there. My parents also live in Connecticut; my dad was a commuter. All in all, I've spent a lot of time in New York. It was always the city towards which I turned. And the dynamics of a group of close friends from college — that's also a world I know.
Q: We don't really see the story from, say, Ludo's perspective. Why?
Geez, would you want to? I shudder to think what the world looks like from Ludo's perspective.
Q: Not to put too fine a point on it, but the characters here aren't exactly warm, fuzzy, and loveable; many make some despicable decisions and/or comments in the course of the novel. What compelled you to write about such a lot?
I adamantly believe that characters should be interesting, rather than nice. I also believe that these guys, for all their faults and limitations, are no worse than most of us. If they were your cousins, you'd see them clearly and criticize them and still love them. That's how I feel about them. I have no interest in sentimental, saccharine portrayals — life's too short for untruths. I was just trying to portray people as I see them, motivated by conflicting impulses, given to shabby thoughts or actions, but not, for the most part, bad people.
Q: OK, so our heroes and heroines aren't all bad–there's an element of likeability there too! Do you have a favorite? If so, will you share him/her with us?
Ach. A parent mustn't play favorites. I have a few, in fact. But I'd have to say I have a soft spot for Bootie.
Q: Did you set out writing THE EMPEROR'S CHILDREN with the characters in mind, or did the plot form them? Is this usually the case as you write–and how does it affect the way your stories take shape?
Everything I write is different, so I can't really generalize about where I begin. But character is very important to me — it's why I write, I think; that and language. And if you really know a character, then you figure out how they would behave in a given situation. And the plot comes out of that, really. It's about trying to observe your people closely, honestly, and without imposing your will artificially upon them. If you make a character do something that character wouldn't do, your book is a fake.
Q: Our three main characters–Marina, Julius, and Danielle–are on the cusp of thirty. Do you see that age as the portal to true adulthood?
True adulthood? Show me a true adult! But I do think that in contemporary American society, among the bourgeoisie, many young adults aren't forced fully to take on the mantle of adulthood in their twenties. It's wrong to generalize; but for Marina, Julius and Danielle, at least, the combination of their vast ambition and their professional meandering leads them, at around 30, suddenly to feel it's time to get their lives together, with a sort of panic they might not have felt if they'd noticed earlier how quickly time was passing.
From the Hardcover edition.
1. At the novel's onset, most of the characters are outside New York. Why might Messud have chosen to begin in this manner? At what other points in the book do the characters leave the city, and with what results?
2. Which of the novel's characters strikes you as its moral center? Is it Bootie, who comes to New York with such high ideals and easily rankled feelings? Is it Danielle, who has lived there long enough to feel at home but who still sees its pretensions and absurdities? With which of these characters is the reader meant to identify? Whose judgments seem the most reliable? And what flaws or blind spots afflict them?
3. Julius is obsessed with the characters of Pierre and Natasha from War and Peace, longing to be the sparkling Natasha but fearing he's really more like the brooding, self-conscious Pierre. Bootie is constantly quoting Emerson. Which of the other characters has an emblematic book, and what role do those books play in their lives, in the way they see the world, and, of course, the way they see themselves? Is Julius anything like Pierre or Natasha? Does Bootie really live up to Emerson's criterion of genius? At what points do they similarly misread other characters?
4. Almost everybody in The Emperor's Children envies, and is intimidated by, somebody else. Julius, for instance, is
in awe of Marina's self-confidence and envious of her sense of entitlement. Marina is cowed by her father. Poor Bootie is a virtual pressure cooker of indiscriminate awe and resentment. What do Messud's characters feel insecure about? Is there anyone in the book who seems truly comfortable with him or herself or any relationship that seems to be conducted by equals? Would you say that awe and envy are this novel's dominant emotions?
5. Marina, we learn, frequently accompanies Murray to public functions, and is sometimes mistaken for his "trophy wife" [p. 40]. Does their relationship strike you as incestuous [p. 121]? Compare Marina's unfolding relationship with Ludovic to her bond with her father. Do you think that Ludovic—incidentally, the only major character who is seen entirely from the outside—really loves Marina or is merely using her, and if so for what purpose?
6. Just as Marina has symbolically taken over her mother's role, "Danielle had the peculiar sensation of having usurped her friend's role in the Thwaite family, and more than that, of having usurped it at some moment in the distant past, a decade or more ago: she felt like a teenager . . and she was suddenly, powerfully aware of the profound oddity of Marina's present life, a life arrested at, or at least returned to, childhood" [p. 46]. How many of the other characters seem similarly suspended? Which of them seems like a full-grown adult, and what does it mean to be an adult in the scheme of this novel? If Danielle has indeed usurped Marina's place, what is the significance of her affair with Marina's father? Which of the other characters takes on another character's role, and for what reasons?
7. When pressed to take a job, Marina confesses, "I worry that that will make me ordinary, like everybody else" [p. 74]. To what extent are other characters possessed by the same fear, and how do they defend themselves against it? Do they have a common idea of what constitutes ordinariness? Can ordinariness even exist in a social world in which everyone is constantly, feverishly striving to be unique? Is it possible that Marina is just lazy and prevaricating in her charming way?
8. With his high-flown ambitions, his indolence, and his appalling sense of hygiene, Bootie initially seems like a comic character. But in the course of the novel Messud's portrait of him darkens until he comes to seem either sinister or tragic—perhaps both. How does she accomplish this? Which other characters does she gradually reveal in a different light? Compare Messud's shifting portrayal of Bootie to her handling of Julius and Danielle. In what ways do they too evade or defy the reader's initial expectations about them?
9. On similar lines, both Ludovic and Bootie denounce Murray as a fraud while Bootie in particular prides himself on his sincerity. But is such sincerity a good thing? What other characters embrace that virtue, and with what results? Compare Bootie's frank literary assessment of his uncle with Murray's frank critique of his daughter's manuscript, or his even franker response to Bootie's essay. When in this novel does honesty turn out to be a pretext for something else? And when do subterfuge and deception turn out to be acts of kindness?
10. Murray feels that his mother's efforts at improving him succeeded only in "turning her boy into someone, something, she couldn't understand" [p. 135]. By contrast, he thinks, Marina has been paralyzed by the very expansiveness of her upbringing. What does this novel have to say about parents and children? Which of the Emperor's children has proved a disappointment? Does any parent in this novel (Murray, Annabel, Judy, Randy) truly understand his or her offspring? And is it good for said offspring to be understood?
11. Some of Messud's characters begin the novel in a state of happiness and others attain it, but nearly all of them see their happiness threatened or even shattered. How does this come about? Which of them is the victim of outside forces and which is responsible for his or her fall? How would you describe this novel's vision of happiness? Considering that the typical comedy has a happy (or happy-ish) ending, what do you make of the fact that so many of Messud's characters end up bereft or disappointed?
12. Among this novel's many characters, one has to include the character of New York City. How does Messud bring the city to life? Compare Murray's New York with that of Marina, Danielle, Bootie, and Julius. What is it that draws the characters to prove themselves in New York?
13. What role do the events of September 11, 2001, play in The Emperor's Children? Are there other points when history—or reality—impinges on the safe and mostly privileged world its characters inhabit? What is the significance of Annabel Thwaite's client DeVaughn or results of Julius and David's affair? Does the ending make sense when compared with the rest of the novel?

UK 'ready to hand over Afghan detainees'
Up to 90 Afghans held at Camp Bastion are set to be returned to the Afghan authorities, the Ministry of Defence has said, after their lawyers argued that their detention could be unlawful.
Eight of the men said they had been held for up to 14 months without charge, according to their legal team.
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond had told the BBC that releasing them could endanger British troops.
But later the MoD said it had now found a "safe route" for their return.
The move came after the BBC was shown documents detailing how 85 suspected insurgents were being held at Camp Bastion, the main British base in Afghanistan.
The defence secretary later confirmed British forces were holding 80 to 90 detainees.
'Exceptional circumstances'UK lawyers acting for eight of the men being detained said their clients were arrested by British soldiers in raids in villages in Helmand and Kandahar provinces, and have been held for between eight and 14 months without charge.
Mr Hammond told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We would like nothing more than to be able to hand these people over to the Afghan authorities".
There has been a bar on detainees being transferred to Afghan authorities since last November because of allegations that detainees were being abused.
Mr Hammond said the UK government has been working with its Afghan counterparts to find a safe way to resume transfers of detainees to the Afghan judicial system.
Later on Wednesday MoD officials said "once the policy and legal obligations have been met, direction will be given to restart transfers".
Suspects in Afghanistan are normally allowed to be detained by British forces for 96 hours.
British soldiers in Helmand will have welcomed the comments by Defence Secretary Philip Hammond on the BBC today that the only alternative to holding prisoners was to "release them onto the battlefield".
They face a dilemma. No prisoners have been handed over to Afghan custody since Britain was taken to court by lawyers for a farmer who claimed he had been tortured in an Afghan jail after being arrested by British soldiers.
When it emerged last November that Britain was holding Afghan prisoners it led to a strong reaction from President Karzai, who wants all detainees in Afghanistan to be held in Afghan facilities.
US delay in handing over Bagram prison to Afghan control soured relations between the two countries. Once that handover had been completed in March, Britain became more exposed because of its decision to continue to hold prisoners. Australian forces have also stopped handing over detainees because of concern about torture.
However, in "exceptional circumstances" to gather critical intelligence, for example - they can hold them for longer.
Parliament had been informed and updated about the "temporary holding facility" at Camp Bastion, but the number of detainees currently being held there had not been known until now.
General Zahir Azimi, a spokesman for the Afghan Ministry of Defence, said the detentions were illegal and "inhuman".
"The prisoners must be handed over to the Afghan authorities," he said. "After their handover to us, they will be dealt with according to our judicial laws, and the agreements reached with the international community."
Dr Dotfar Spanta, national security adviser to the Afghan president, told the BBC Afghan Service that, after an exchange of letters with British officials, the resumption of detainee transfers had been resolved as far as his government was concerned.
He said they were waiting for a final response from the UK.
But lawyers for the men told the BBC they would want to scrutinise any transfers to the Afghan authorities carefully and may go to court to try to stop them.
'Perfect legal storm'"The UK could have trained the Afghan authorities to detain people lawfully with proper standards and making sure they are treated humanely," Phil Shiner, of Public Interest Lawyers, told the BBC.
"They could have then monitored that, including with ad hoc inspections, to make sure the Afghans were obeying the law. They have chosen not to do so."
He said the UK was acting in an "entirely unconstitutional" way.
The BBC's legal affairs correspondent Clive Coleman said the government was in a bind about what to do with suspected insurgents.
A senior government lawyer, James Eadie QC, described the situation as a "perfect legal storm".
Lawyers for the eight men launched habeas corpus applications at the High Court in London on 18 April, with a full hearing due in late July.
Habeas corpus, in this context, argues for the right to be brought before a court to determine whether their detainment is lawful or not.
One of the prisoners is believed to be a teenager; the other a 20-year-old father. The pair, whose family say they were arrested in the spring last year, appear to have been held the longest.
Legal papers state their interrogation ended "many months ago", but their families only established where the men were being held with the help of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Dan Squires, a barrister for the older man, told the High Court: "He has not been granted access to a lawyer nor brought before a court.
Nato guidelines on detention:
- British forces operate in Afghanistan as part of the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf)
- They are allowed to hold suspects for up to 96 hours before they are released or transferred to Afghan authorities
- This can be extended in "exceptional circumstances" where it is necessary to gather intelligence from the detainee to protect British soldiers and local people
- But there has been a bar on detainees being transferred to Afghan authorities since last November because of allegations that detainees were being abused
"He does not know how long he is to remain detained or for what purpose. He has asked whether he will be transferred to Afghan authorities but had been told they do not consider that he has committed any criminal offence and so do not want to receive him."
Mr Shiner said Mr Hammond had until last week refused to allow the detainees access to legal representation but had now granted lawyers an hour-long telephone call with two of the Afghans on Wednesday.
The defence secretary was keen to point out the Afghans' case was being brought "at the expense, of course, of the British taxpayer, because Mr Shiner's actions are funded by the legal aid system".
Mr Hammond added: "They are asking the court to release these people to turn them back to the battlefield so they can carry on with the activities for which they were detained in the first place - putting British troops and other Isaf lives at risk."

Best pool toy purchase ever!
We have four children ages 15 to 11 (two girls and two boys) and everyone plays with this basketball hoop! The construction is fantastic! It takes minutes to put together and our children LOVE it! Never have I found something for the pool that everyone enjoys so much. This is a great buy!!!!! One recommendation, purchase additional balls and don't blow them up too much as it makes it too bouncy.

Big, bold, and fun
We are really enjoying this basketball goal! We are have a lot fewer balls going into the garden behind like we did with a smaller pool store bb goal. Be prepared, though, as it is really big and stark white so it is a bit of an eyesore when looking out the window at our backyard.

The alleged crimes came to light after a girl attempted suicide. PCSO says Kost admitted to most of the allegations. He was released from jail Monday after posting a ten-thousand-dollar bond. Kost is facing two counts of sexual assault and two counts of sexual misconduct with a minor. The investigation is ongoing.

In 2010, almost two-thirds of fatalities in car accidents happened because the person was not wearing a seat belt. As Memorial weekend fast approaches, local law enforcement agencies are hoping to keep that number down.
Between graduations, summer vacations and Memorial Day, there will be a lot of celebrating this weekend. More drivers on the road has police concerned about your safety.
They will be looking for aggressive drivers, speeders and, most importantly, those drivers who do not buckle up, said Tpr. Cordell Williams of the Louisiana State Police.
Taking those few seconds to buckle up your seatbelt can mean the difference between life and death. "Your chances of survival are highly unlikely if you're in fact not buckled and you're ejected out of the vehicle," said Tpr. Williams.
The state law requires everyone in the vehicle to wear a seat belt even in the back seat.
Police also encourage motorists to report any suspicious activity on the roads to *LSP or *577.

As I have full control over both sites is there a way to mark certain paragraphs in the first site, like
<!-- start --> text text text text <!-- end -->
and then capture everything bewteen <!-- start --> and <!-- end --> and include on the second site?
Would be most grateful for any replies. Thanks!
On the second page, which copies from the first one, place this where you want the info to be copied:
$fp = fopen("firstpage.php","r"); if(!feof($fp)){ $buffer = fgets($fp,5000); $x = 0; if($buffer == "<!-- start of chunk of text -->"){$x = 1;} if($buffer == "<!-- end of chunk of text -->"){$x = 0;} if($x == 1){ echo $buffer; } } fclose($fp);
Also, I added some whitespace to make my code more readable, but it was apparently removed by this forum's underlying code.

Launcher hanging whilst retrieving version infomation, tried a reinstall, currently using an up to date version of Vista
Senior Member
Thanks for the post Evilpigeon! We'll look into this. You might want to make sure that Internet Explorer is on online mode and not offline mode. We've been getting reports of people not patching because Internet Explorer switched to offline mode for them. If you continue having trouble, you might want to check out the Help and Support forum.
LGD Oxzy
Me and 2 other friends have the same problem. Currently reading the forum to see if there's a solution. EDIT: We're all on laptops of different sizes. I was fine until I logged out and attempting to restart the game. One friend got kicked out his game and was the first to have this problem. He has tried to re-install. All of us a re fully patched and have updated vista versions. Happened today, a few hours ago...
just going to come back and say that I've checked internet explorer and the other browers I have (for good measure) and none are in offline mode. Was working fine last night after patching but not today
i was playing 2 hours ago, and now i have the same problem. Client hangs on retrieving version information and after waiting a bit, it says launcher needs to restart. i checked my firewall and it seems theres no packets being sent back from the server . since it shows the game server as online , i guess patch server is having some problems.
Junior Member
Same problem here!
my brother seems to have the same problem. amazingly, the issue appeared on 2 of his PCs at the same time!
Hey all, We think we might have found what the source of the problem is. We'll be releasing a fix for this so you guys will be up and running soon! Sorry about the inconvenience. Keep us posted if you continue getting problems.

This doesn't necessarily count as a snack food but I love barbeque sauce. There isn't a meat whose flavor it doesn't enhance and I'll put on just about anything short of ice cream.
I was in a Menards of all places when I discovered A&W BBQ Sauce. Apparently looking to diversify given the state of the economy, Menards has added a grocery section to their usual fare. Anyway, always happy to try a new sauce, I took a bottle home with me. This stuff is amazing! They also had Dr. Pepper BBQ Sauce that I can't wait to try next time.
Has anyone else had this yet? What do you think?

Elbow Problems, Noninjury
Topic Overview
At one time or another, everyone has had an elbow problem that may have caused pain or swelling. Most of the time our body movements do not cause problems, but it's not surprising that symptoms develop from everyday wear and tear or overuse.
Elbow problems can be minor or serious and may include symptoms such as pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, weakness, or changes in temperature or color. Home treatment often can relieve minor aches and pains. To better understand elbow problems, you may want to review the structure and function of the elbow. See an illustration of the elbow.
Conditions that may cause elbow symptoms
- Osteoarthritis may cause pain that is worse in the morning but improves during the day. Other types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and lupus, can also affect the elbow.
- A pinched nerve can cause elbow pain with numbness and tingling.
- A problem elsewhere in the body, such as a heart attack, can cause referred pain in the elbow.
Overuse elbow problems
Most people may not remember having a specific injury when their symptoms get worse over time, but overuse problems are actual injuries. They occur when too much stress is placed on a joint or other tissue, often when you overdo an activity or repeat an activity over and over. Overuse injuries include:
- Bursitis . Swelling behind the elbow may be olecranon bursitis (Popeye elbow).
- Tendinosis, which is a series of microtears in the
connective tissue in or around the tendon.
- Soreness or pain felt on the outside (lateral) part of the elbow may be tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). This is the most common type of tendinopathy that affects the elbow and most often is caused by overuse of the forearm muscles. This overuse may occur during sports, such as tennis, swimming, golf, and sports involving throwing; jobs, such as carpentry or plumbing; or daily activities, such as lifting objects or gardening.
- Soreness or pain in the inner (medial) part of the elbow may be golfer's elbow. In children who participate in sports that involve throwing, the same elbow pain may be described as Little Leaguer's elbow.
- Ulnar nerve compression, which is the pinching of the ulnar nerve in the elbow joint. This usually occurs with repeated motions.
Treatment for an elbow problem may include first aid measures; application of a brace, splint, or cast; physical therapy; or medicine.
Use the Check Your Symptoms section to decide if and when you should see a doctor.
Home Treatment
Most minor elbow problems go away on their own. Home treatment is usually all that is needed to relieve your symptoms.
Home treatment for minor problems
Home treatment may help relieve pain, swelling, and stiffness.
- If you have swelling, remove all rings, bracelets, watches, or any other jewelry that goes around your wrist or fingers of the affected arm. It will be more difficult to remove the jewelry later if swelling increases.
- Use rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) to treat pain and swelling.
- Wear a sling if it makes you more comfortable and supports your elbow. If you feel you need to use a sling for longer than 48 hours, discuss your symptoms with your doctor.
- An elbow support, such as an elbow sleeve, forearm wrap, or arm sling, may help rest your elbow joint, relieve stress on forearm muscles, and protect the joint area during an activity. A counterforce brace may be helpful for tennis elbow symptoms. Follow the manufacturer's directions for using the brace.
- Gently massage or rub the area to relieve pain and encourage blood flow. Do not massage the elbow if it causes pain.
- After 48 to 72 hours, if swelling is gone, apply heat and begin gentle exercise with the aid of moist heat to help restore and maintain flexibility. Some experts recommend alternating between hot and cold treatments.
- Do not smoke. Smoking slows healing because it decreases blood supply and delays tissue repair. For more information, see the topic Quitting Smoking.
Try a nonprescription medicine to help treat your fever or pain: |
Talk to your child's doctor before switching back and forth between doses of acetaminophen and ibuprofen. When you switch between two medicines, there is a chance your child will get too much medicine. |
Be sure to follow these safety tips when you use a nonprescription medicine: |
Symptoms to Watch For During Home Treatment
Use the Check Your Symptoms section to evaluate your symptoms if any of the following occur during home treatment.
- Pain or swelling develops.
- Signs of infection develop.
- Numbness, tingling, or cool, pale, skin develops.
- Symptoms do not improve with home treatment.
- Symptoms become more severe or more frequent.
The following tips may prevent elbow problems.
General prevention tips
- Don't carry objects that are too heavy.
- Stretch before and after physical exercise, sports, or recreational activities to warm up your muscles.
- Do stretching and range-of-motion (ROM) exercises with your fingers and wrist to prevent stiffening of the tendons that affect your elbows. Gently bend, straighten, and rotate your wrist. If you have any pain, stop the exercises.
- Use the correct techniques (movements) or positions during activities so that you do not strain your muscles.
- Avoid overusing your arm doing repeated movements that can injure your bursa or tendons. In daily routines or hobbies, examine activities in which you make repeated arm movements.
- Take lessons to learn the proper technique for sports. Have a trainer or person who is familiar with sports equipment check your equipment to see if it is well suited for your level of ability, body size, and body strength.
- If you feel that activities at your workplace are causing pain or soreness from overuse, call your human resources department for information on alternative ways of doing your job or to discuss equipment modifications or other job assignments.
Preparing For Your Appointment
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
You can help your doctor diagnose and treat your condition by being prepared to answer the following questions:
- What are your main symptoms?
- How long have you had your symptoms?
- What were you doing when your symptoms started?
- Have you had this problem in the past? If so, do you know what caused the problem at that time? How was it treated?
- What activities related to sports, work, or your lifestyle make your symptoms better or worse?
- What home treatment measures have you tried? Did home treatment help?
- What prescription and nonprescription medicines have you taken? Did they help?
- Do you have any health risks?
