What is a tendon tear?
Tendons are strong bands of tissue that attach muscle to bone. When you contract a muscle, the tendon pulls on the bone and moves it. Although your tendons are strong, they can get injured and partially or completely tear.
A partial tendon tear is similar to a frayed rope; part of it is torn, but it can still function. A fully torn tendon (sometimes called a ruptured tendon) can tear into two parts, or the tendon can be pulled away from where it attaches to bone or muscle.
Any tendon in the body can tear, but tears are more common in the shoulder, elbow, knee, back of the lower leg and heel.
What causes tendon tears?
Tendon tears most often occur from injuries and wear and tear (overuse or aging). For example, when you land from a jump with your knee bent, you are putting a significant amount of strain on your quadriceps muscles and on the tendon. That can cause the tendon to tear.
If a tendon becomes irritated from overuse, such as repetitively reaching overhead, it can become weaker and eventually tear.
Tears commonly occur in these tendons:
Rotator cuff
Your rotator cuff is made up of four muscles and several tendons that attach muscle to bone. The tendons in the rotator cuff can get injured or damaged from overuse, such as repetitively reaching overhead while painting, stocking shelves or swimming. The tendons can tear in the middle or from where the tendon attaches to the shoulder bone.
Biceps tendon (at the shoulder)
Your biceps muscle has two tendons that attach it to bones in the shoulder. One tendon connects the muscle to the top of the shoulder socket; this tendon is more likely to be injured. The second tendon attaches to a point on the shoulder blade. Injury and overuse can cause either tendon to partially or fully tear – for example, carrying something too heavy or falling on an outstretched arm.
Biceps tendon (at the elbow)
A tendon attaches the biceps muscle at the elbow. Most tears at this point are complete rather than partial. This type of injury is not common and usually is the result of injury. If this tendon tears, you will lose strength in your arm and will not be able to turn your palm up, as when turning a doorknob or screwdriver.
Quadriceps tendon (front of the thigh)
This tendon attaches the quadriceps muscle to the kneecap. Overuse or breaking a fall is the frequent cause of this type of tear. If the tendon is overused, it stretches and becomes inflamed, making it vulnerable to a tear. This type of injury is more common among middle-aged and older people, whose muscles and tendons have weakened with age.
Patellar tendon (knee)
The patellar tendon attaches the bottom of the kneecap (patella) to the top of the shinbone (tibia). A good deal of force is needed to tear the patellar tendon, such as falling directly on the front of the knee or landing after a jump with your knee bent. Tendon weakness, which can be caused by tendinitis or chronic diseases such as arthritis or diabetes, can make people susceptible to this type of injury.
Achilles tendon (back of the calf)
The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscle to the heel bone in the back of the foot. Tendinitis is the most common cause of Achilles tendon rupture, although sudden amounts of stress can tear it too. For example, sporadic participation in sports, falling from a height or stepping into a hole can all tear the Achilles tendon. These tears are common in recreational sports, including running, soccer, basketball, tennis, softball or hockey.
What are the risk factors for tendon tears?
- Age – Wear and tear that occurs over time can weaken the tendons.
- Joint overuse – Repetitively using a joint, such as swimming or regularly stocking overhead shelves, can put wear and tear on the tendons.
- Gender – Some types of tendon tears, such as in the Achilles tendon, are much more common among men than women. Experts believe it could simply be that men are more likely to engage in activities that overuse certain tendons.
- Corticosteroid use – These medications have been linked to muscle and tendon weakness.
- Certain chronic diseases – Some conditions, such as kidney or thyroid problems, diabetes, infection, arthritis or some cancers, can weaken the tendons.
- Immobilization – If you don't move your muscles or tendons for some time, they can lose flexibility and strength, which can increase your risk of getting injured.
- Smoking – Cigarette smoke can affect the health of the tendon and may make it more susceptible to tearing.
- Tendinitis – Tendon inflammation can weaken the tendon and may cause tiny tears, which can increase the risk of a partial or complete tear.
- Use of certain antibiotics, such as fluoroquinolone (used for pneumonia, certain STDs, some urinary tract infections, etc.)
What are the symptoms of a tendon tear?
These will vary depending on the location and severity of the tear, but you may experience:
- Sudden, sharp pain around the injured area
- A "pop" or snap that you can hear at the time of the injury, particularly with the elbow or Achilles tendon
- Cramping in the nearby muscle
- Bruising around the site of the injury
- Pain or tenderness near the injury
- Difficulty moving the surrounding muscles
- Loss of motion, such as the ability to raise your arm (rotator cuff tear), turn your arm from palm up to palm down (biceps tendon tear at the elbow) or raise your leg (quadriceps tendon tear)
- An odd bulge or body part that seems out of place, such as a muscle bulge up near the shoulder (biceps tendon tear at the elbow) or a kneecap that appears to sag (quadriceps tendon tear)
How is a tendon tear diagnosed?
Your doctor will do a physical exam if he or she suspects a tendon tear. In some cases, the muscle may not be able to move the limb, or there is a gap in the tendon that your doctor can feel through your skin.
You may also have an obvious deformity, such as a "Popeye muscle" in your upper arm if you tear one of the biceps tendons and the muscle is no longer straight.
Your doctor may use certain imaging tests to better understand your injury, such as an X-ray or MRI.
What are the treatment options?
Your treatment will depend on the type of injury, severity, impact on your daily activities, your age, occupation and activity level.
Your doctor may suggest one or a combination of the following treatments:
- Rest and avoiding activities that aggravate the injured area
- Applying ice several times a day for 15 to 20 minutes at a time to reduce pain and inflammation
- Wrapping the injured area with an ACE bandage or other means of compression to minimize swelling
- Elevating the injured area to reduce swelling
- Over-the-counter medications, such as acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) or ibuprofen (e.g., Advil), to ease pain and swelling
- Physical therapy and exercises to strengthen and stretch the injured area after pain and swelling have gone done; recovery and rehabilitation are important to prevent re-injury
- Wearing a cast, brace or sling to immobilize the affected area if the tendon is partially torn; this helps keep you from using the affected area while it heals
- Surgery if the tear is complete, severe or accompanied by other injuries.
If surgery is needed, the procedure will re-anchor the tendon to the bone or sew together a tendon that is torn in the middle. Schedule the surgery as soon as possible. Some tendon injuries cannot be operated on if too much time has passed because the tendons and muscles can scar and shorten.
How are tendon tears prevented?
- Stay at a healthy weight.
- Avoid activities or movements that put excessive stress on already injured tendons or areas of the body that are painful.
- If you notice pain when you are exercising or working, take a break.
- Warm up properly before exercising.
- Maintain good muscle strength and flexibility.
- If you have pain that doesn't go away after a couple weeks, get checked out by a doctor. Not taking care of an injury can create a more serious problem later. For example, untreated tendinitis can lead to a tendon tear
What is the short- or long-term impact of a tendon tear?
Treatment and recovery takes time, and the impact of a tendon tear can vary depending on the location of the tear.
Rotator cuff tendon
Not everyone with a rotator cuff tear needs surgery. Your pain and range of motion may get better without surgery, but your strength will not improve. If you have surgery, the path to recovery is long: Most people wear a sling for four to six weeks after surgery and have to limit their shoulder motion.
Rehabilitation can take another six to 12 weeks. Most people are able to move their shoulder and have adequate strength four to six months after surgery, although further rehab may be needed to increase range of motion and strength.
Also, the original tendon tear may have been caused by tendinitis or bursitis; nonsurgical treatments may focus on treating those conditions, as well.
Biceps tendon (shoulder)
Not everyone who has a complete biceps tendon tear needs surgery. One tendon usually still attaches the muscle to the shoulder and allows for continued – although more limited – use of the arm.
Rotator cuff injuries, shoulder impingement and tendinitis may accompany this type of tear, but if there aren't additional injuries or damage, you may get better with noninvasive treatment.
Athletes or people who do manual work may opt for surgery if they need full strength and range of motion.
Biceps tendon (elbow)
The biceps tendon will not re-attach to the bone if torn, and you may suffer significant, permanent weakness in the arm without surgery. Nonsurgical treatment is usually only discussed if you are older and inactive or if you have a health condition that could prevent a successful surgery.
The biceps tendon can take two to three months to fully heal after surgery. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions and restrict your activities. Most people are able to do light lifting soon after surgery, but heavy lifting is generally restricted until several months after surgery.
Quadriceps tendon (knee)
If the tear is partial and small, you may not need surgery, but you will likely wear a knee immobilizer or brace for three to six weeks. Afterward, you should gradually add exercises to restore strength and range of motion – rehabilitation should take around six months.
If you have surgery, you'll likely have the stitches or staples out after about two weeks. Your doctor will then protect your knee with a knee immobilizer or long leg cast. You may need to use crutches or a walker to get around, and your doctor will design a rehab plan to help you regain strength and range of motion.
Individual recovery time varies from one person to the next, but it can take four to 12 months.
Patellar tendon (knee)
If you have a very small, partial tear, your doctor may suggest a knee immobilizer or brace for three to six weeks. You can start with physical therapy, such as quadriceps muscle strengthening exercises, while wearing the brace.
After the brace is off, your doctor or a physical therapist will recommend additional exercises to increase your strength and range of motion.
If you have surgery, your doctor will take the sutures or staples out after about 2 weeks. Between two to four weeks afterward, your leg should be able to hold about half of your body weight. It will take four to six weeks for your leg to hold your full body weight.
Complete recovery can take six to 12 months. Most people can return to their jobs after recovering from this type of injury, although they may have some stiffness.
Achilles tendon
For both a partial or complete tear, your doctor may recommend a splint for four weeks to immobilize the ankle and prevent pulling on the Achilles tendon. An exercise rehabilitation program may follow and continue up to six months, although you should be able to slowly resume your activities during this time.
Surgery is often used to repair an Achilles tendon tear to prevent re-rupture. Also, the recovery time can be shorter if you have surgery. After the torn tendon is stitched back together, you will likely have to wear a walking boot, cast, brace or splint for six to eight weeks to give the tendon time to heal.
Most people who tear their Achilles tendon, with either surgical or nonsurgical treatments, resume their former level of activity within four to six months of the injury.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
- Could I have a torn tendon?
- Is the tear partial or complete?
- What are the possible treatment options? What if I don't have treatment?
- Would you recommend surgery? What are the benefits and risks?
- Are some treatment options more effective than others in reducing risk of future tendon tears?
- Will I have temporary or permanent weakness, pain or loss of strength?
- What does the recovery timeline look like?
- When can I start doing light activities and more intensive activities?
- Will I need to take leave from work to recuperate?
- What can I do at home to relieve my symptoms or take care of the injury?
- Do you recommend or advise against immobilizing the injury (e.g., using a sling or a brace)? Why?
- Do you recommend heat and/or ice?
- Do you recommend any medications?
- What are some ways I can prevent the injury from recurring or getting worse?
- What is my long-term outlook with this type of injury?

I wanted to know if there's any email clients (e.g. Outlook, etc.) which strip out custom email headers e.g. X-Tallyfy-Y-Z : value
The reason is that I'm adding headers to email so that plugins for Gmail and Outlook can take a certain action if those headers are seen on an email.
In my case, http://tallyfy.com aims to link a "how to" re-usable checklist to an email - so that you can send an email and link a checklist showing how to get something done, right within your email client - with no attachments.

I am finally returning to brewing after a prolonged layoff for life. When I last brewed in college it was a stove top extract method. I have now resolved to be more efficient and tackle an all grain system. Thanks to the wonderful help here at HBT, I am close to my first batch.
I completed a "dry" run today without leaks, measured dead spaces and boil times, and performed an initial cleaning. Below are the pics. I am sorry re: the cell phone picture quality. It is a cell phone and I had a few of the obligatory beverages while performing the testing.
Thanks to all you provided advice. As suggested often, I read, read, read before taking the plunge. Any ideas for a first batch. I am leaning toward a Sierra Nevada IPA clone.
Of course, I will post pics of a real time run when completed. I feel like I owe Denny some beer for all of his helpful posts. I hope the wooden rack is not too ghetto for him, but I wanted something I could easily take apart and store (all wingnuts baby)
Damn that is a clean garage! Nice setup. Welcome back to homebrewing!
The garage isn't that clean, just the camera is that bad. There is a layer of sawdust on everything from a large project I just completed, 4 sets of cornhole boards. I will have to wipe everything down before brewing.
To answer the 3 pms in 5 minutes, cornhole is not what you think/want it to be.....http://www.homebrewtalk.com/attachme...1&d=1269801378http://www.homebrewtalk.com/attachme...1&d=1269801390http://www.homebrewtalk.com/attachme...1&d=1269801397http://www.homebrewtalk.com/attachme...1&d=1269801405http://www.homebrewtalk.com/attachme...1&d=1269801413
I finally found the time for a first brew day, and what a day it was. The kids won their lacrosse matches in the am, I completed the honey do lists, and still had time to brew. I'm starting with a Sierra Nevada IPA clone. exceeded the OG expected by hitting 1.064 allowing me to dilute the wort slightly leaving more beer at bottling. The coolers held there temps very well (only lost 1 deg in 60 min). The fly sparge was a little thin but didn't get stuck(). I'll have to get better at setting the ball valves. I did drop my sparge arm into the MLT once and forgot to bag the finishing hops resulting in a very slow transfer from the brew kettle to the carboy for fermentation. I am amazed at what a difference the proper equipment makes compared to 20 years ago. Pics to follow.

Brett Webb-Mitchell: YMCA shows respect for all
On the wall of the large fitness room of the Chapel Hill/Carrboro YMCA (CHCYMCA) are four large banners with quotes from the Bible capturing the four ideal characteristics of the YMCA.
One yellow banner has "RESPECT" in white letters, with the words of Jesus below it: "Here's a simple rule of thumb guide for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you? Then grab the initiative and do it for them. Add up God's law and prophets, and this is what you get" (Matthew 7:12).
The biblical virtue of "Respect" became embodied in the recent actions of the local CHCYMCA and larger YMCA of the Triangle (YOTA), which owns and manages many YMCAs in the region. Together, they lived out the words "Ask yourself what you want people to do for you? Then grab the initiative and do it for them," when the leadership reached out to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) eligible employees (full-time) and their families in providing them equal access to the same Blue Cross/Blue Shield NC (BCBSNC) health benefit plan that non-LGBTQ eligible employees and their family currently receive.
It was a move that addressed an ugly discriminatory policy of the past, which showed a lack of respect for LGBTQ employees and their families, upholding the best, inclusive policies of the YMCA in the present.
This move toward justice was a long time in coming. Discussion of this move toward equality began over five years when I was on the Board of CHCYMCA and we dealt with LGBTQ rights over the future of a local Boy Scout troop that was being sponsored by CHCYMCA. At the time, the national Boy Scouts of America did not welcome out gay Scouts, let alone LGBTQ Scout masters. With a process of discernment in place, the CHCYMCA worked steadily through the issue of inequality that the Boy Scouts posed in refusing membership to out gay Scouts and LGBTQ Scout masters. Reluctantly, the board dissolved the relationship between the Scout troop and CHCYMCA.
Discussions about the Boy Scouts made us then look at our own house. The Boy Scouts were not the only organization making it hard for LGBTQ people and their families to achieve equal access: so was the very CHCYMCA.
I raised the issue of providing LGBTQ equal access to health benefits with our leadership team. At that time, there was a "50+1" rule in place, in which a non-profit would have to have 50 full time non-same sex employees receiving health benefits from United Healthcare or BCBSNC before one LGBTQ employee and family could receive similar benefits. CHCYMCA had less than the 50 employees, which meant we couldn't offer our LGBTQ employees health care benefits for one's family.
However, when the leadership of CHCYMCA began talks with the leadership of YOTA, a way forward toward equal access presented itself. YOTA had more than the 50 full time employees using the BCBSNC benefit plan that was needed for LGBTQ employees and their families to participate. With the possible merger, the CHCYMCA LGBTQ employees and their families and the LGBTQ employees of YOTA and their families, could all receive the same benefits that non-LGBTQ employees were already receiving from their respective YMCA plans.
On June 3, at an open meeting discussing the upcoming merger of CHCYMCA and YOTA, YOTA CEO Doug McMillan shared the good news that both LGBTQ eligible employees and their families will receive the same benefits non-LGBTQ employees and families currently receive. The winners in this new arrangement were not only the LGBTQ eligible employees and their families at CHCYMCA and YOTA's other branches, but also an opportunity to embody one of the four cardinal virtues of YMCA: Respect for one and all.

Previously, the SEC indicated that distributing communications through social media sites may violate its fair disclosure rule because investors who do not frequent social sites might not see announcements.

What's New
Steps from the hotel, Yas Mall opens late 2014 with over 700 shops and 77 restaurants, adding to Yas Islands' attractions with an IMAX movie theatre, Kids Zone and more. A sensory overload- but can relax afterwards in our Stills Bar.
Abu Dhabi is laid-back when it comes to dress codes, but it's better to avoid wearing anything too revealing. It's essential to dress modestly if you are visiting religious sites, such as the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. You can always ask our Concierge for advice.
Don't Go Home Without
From Yas Island it's easy to explore Abu Dhabi's natural and cultural treasures. Whether visiting Falcon Hospital, paddleboarding the mangroves, or admiring the artwork at Manarat on Saddiyat Island, you will get a sense of the true Abu Dhabi lifestyle.
Must See
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is built to overwhelm. Its celestial domes rest on 1000 pillars clad in handmade marble panels and are studded with precious stones. Fiber-optic scripts unravel across its polished white walls, and the world's largest single piece of handwoven carpet blankets the prayer hall.
Must Do
Yas Island's attractions will get your heart pumping, from the world's fastest roller coaster at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi to any of Yas Waterworld's thrilling rides. Why not get behind the wheel of an Aston Martin GT4 and race around Yas Marina Circuit?

Any type of industry in developing nations are usually seen as good things, but this is not always the case. Pakistan's stone crushing factories, which exist far and away from any sort of regulatory and safety laws, claim the lives of many of its laborers. Dust from the crushed stones lead to respiratory illnesses for many, leading to illness disability and death.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Asia Pacific
Keywords: Pakistan, silica, respiratory illness, workers
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Inside one such factory, near the village of Nut Kallar, young men toil without safety equipment. Breaking down quartz stones into smaller pieces with a hammer, the workers then feed them into a small crusher that will reduce them to the size of chickpeas.
Mixed with silica dust and boric acid with hands or shovels, these minerals are then packed into polythene bags for supply to foundries for the inner lining of furnaces. The facility here has no mechanism to control the dust rising from the crushing or during mixing and packing.
Get food into the hands of needy children -- by going here --
Many workers there are unaware of the adverse effect of the dust they inhale. Many of these workers then fall sick from deadly silicosis, caused from the silica found in many of the rocks.
Lack of dust control systems at stone-crushing factories mean silica dust will also affect people in nearby areas. In fact, most crushing units are located in or near residential areas.
Found in rocks, silica, when inhaled, can cause both silicosis and cancer and increase the risk of other lung diseases.
"People working in industries such as cement, mining, plastic, foundry work, glass and stone-crushing are prone to inhaling it unless protective measures are taken," Dr. Khalid Waheed, who has treated several silicosis patients at Lahore's Jinnah Hospital, says. Three of these workers died last year. "Workers aren't provided safety gear to prevent dust inhalation. Silicosis-related deaths could be prevented if factory owners took proper safety measures and their workers underwent medical check-ups every six months."
By the time most silicosis patients are brought to the doctors, they are already at an advanced stage of the disease.
There is hope: Early diagnosis can save lives. As most industries where workers are exposed to silica dust operate in the informal sector, it's hard to guess their number and how many workers they employ. The number of factories could be in the hundreds, that of workers in the thousands.

That's not necessarily a good thing. There is nothing worse for destroying the immersive feeling of something than, just after arriving at an alien planet they wander into a city and your first reaction is "Hey that's Edmonton!". Simon Fraser University next door in BC is a particularly common location and has been in Stargate SG1 and Battlestar Galactica: apparently 1960's concrete looks 'alien'.

I generally know what I want what I don't want. I am enjoy the process in life with constantly learning more about myself & everything around me. Happiness & acceptance within myself is a huge priority. B/c of this, I probably only have 2 insecurities, if that. People who learn to appreciate themselves for who they are reap the many benefits. The things that I value in my life are more important than my car, home, money or my belongings. I have people in my life that I love more than life itself. I would give up anything in his world that I have worked for & let everything I have get taken away from me for the ones I love, because I cannot imagine my life without them. So, if you think that you're going to impress me with your money or material things you're wrong. It will show me your priorities/values and I'll look the other way. So don't waste your time or my time. Money will not buy this girl happiness. Nobody is important enough for me to drop my morals, values or standards. I will not lower the standards I have set for myself & be disloyal or dishonest. It does not matter who you are, what you do/did or how much money you make, nothing matters, I will never care about you or love you enough to lower my standards. I may care & love you more than life itself and never want to hurt you, but as selfish as it sounds...I care about myself too much to allow any person on the face of this planet be an excuse for me to lower my values, I am better than that. My personality is adaptable. I can be around a group of guys and have the same outlook & vulgar, morbid humor as them. I can be around a group of girls & be girly lol (minus the nonsense drama). I can hang out with a group of kids, wrestle, run & play with them & they'll call me their best friend. I can hang out with my Grandparents & their friends & they'll continue to invite me to their get-togethers. I can be retarded, smart, calm, over energetic, immature, very mature, professional, shy, & outgoing. I do prefer the smart retarded outgoing energetic professional mature person though. Haha I am a rational, logical thinker (it comes with accepting yourself so that you do not think with you emotions or insecurities which can be irrational and illogical), I am very understanding, don't take anything for granted, I am thankful for each & every day, I am accepting, independent, caring, loving & sometimes hardheaded. I am outgoing, easily amused (seriously), I do not give up easily and am not easily angered unless continuously provoked then it's on. I am great at communicating. I am respectful, fun, random, open minded, I am very rarely shy, I am confident, considerate, hardworking, confident, strong and sometimes aggressive (I sometimes like to rough house). And I am very optimistic (once in a blue moon I have my off days), it has become a habit for me now, not a practice. I love life so much more because of it. I love going, but not all of the time. I love relaxing, trying new things, walking, people watching, reading, going to parks, playing games (video games, cards, dominoes…). I love conversation, eating, watching sports (even if I do not understand them or care about the team). I love being random and trying new things. My perfect relationship would be like the one I have with my Bestie. Respect, communication, care, love, admiration, arguing then getting over it, understanding, disagreeing, blunt honesty, trust, frustrating and relaxing. I guess you can call it tough love. I just want to be with someone who I can call my best friend. Someone you can spend hours/days with then look forward to not seeing them for a while. Someone you can be around and talk with for hours, but then enjoy being in the same room on opposite sides of the couch & not saying anything for hours or even in seperate rooms. Sounds clich?, doesn't it? But I know what it takes to have a successful relationship. Do you? Do you have the will, the knowledge, the maturity or the strength?

I like Dogs, Other
I do not have animals yet, but I love them. Really prefer dogs over cats and if I had the choice would NOT get a cat.
Im seriously SO outgoing that this is a difficult to norrow down. I love trying new things & dont get upset if Im not good at them, I'll just laugh and try again, just gives me motivation to get better. I will ALMOST always say yes to doing anything.

Re: Cored deck soft spot repair
George, sounds like a good idea. However, if I were a boat builder, I think I would use the honeycomb fiberglass construction that is frequently used on the sterns of powerboats. It's extremely strong, lightweight, and you never have to worry about it absorbing moisture. The use of wood for a boat core, IMO, is archaic. When will sailboat builders get their heads out of the sands of tradition?
When I purchased my Morgan 33 O.I. it had moisture in an area of the cabin top core. I had it drilled and filled, and thus far, after three years, no moisture there. However, just this past summer, during a heavy rain, water began seeping into the cabin overhead and dripping through a hole over the quarter berth, soaking the cushion. I was able to dry the cushion OK, but thus far have not found the leak source. I found several toe rail screws that had not been sealed, and sealed them with 5200. Sometimes it can be difficult to find a leak source.

Originally written on Beantown Banter | Last updated 11/20/14
Arguably the best tight end in Patriots history (that is, until Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez came along), Ben Coates spent nine years in New England and was a favorite target for quarterback Drew Bledsoe. After being drafted in the fifth round of the 1991 NFL Draft, his first two years in Foxborough were uneventful. But then, in 1993, the Patriots selected Drew Bledsoe with the 1st overall pick and brought in head coach Bill Parcells, two decisions that would alter Coates' future for the next six years. Coates had a breakout year in 1993, catching 53 passes, good for 659 yards and eight touchdowns. Coates had his best season in 1994, being named to his first Pro Bowl. Coates hauled in 96 receptions for 1,174 yards and seven touchdowns. Coates would continue his success over the four years, being named to Pro Bowl in each of those seasons. In Super Bowl XXXI, Coates had a solid game, reeling in six passes for 66 yards and a touchdown. After the 1999 season, the Patriots releas...

The best one yet
I really loved the dance of the manwhore and the quest, I also loved the milk of the manwhore, but this movie takes the best of the two: a song with Fernando's pseudo-sexy voice and an actual weird plot, it's simply the best idea you could have come up with.
I also gave it a perfect 10 because I loved Fernando's face while drinking his cocktail haha.
Cobra fun time!
I really love the pacing here, and how well the music goes with the dialogues. Fernando's unconfortable silence after Hernando seeing through his cheap plan, Gooseman's epic, zooh induced solo and a lot of little details have made my day.
The story of this flash could be a wonderful basis for a heisting\tactical strategy\adventure game, like The Sting! from 2001.
TornadoStorm18 is obviously Earth's only devoted Sonichu fan.
or maybe you could play AGAINST fernando, and you have to distract him by hurling crack rocks and tubs of yoghurt, if you fail he sets off the nuke.
Sorry, but...
This is weirdly awesome, but I'm too spoiled by the two amazingly crazy music videos you've already put out to give this a higher score. This's still really good, in both the animation, the music, and your typical crazy humor, but it doesn't flow as well as the others. It seems like this would work better as one of your regular animations than as a music video.
It doesn't involve that crate of cobras...
It doesn't quite roll off the tongue like some of your other songs (or yogurt...)
but still as oddly amazing as your other works.
Keep up the awesome work.
Plan B?
Great Destiny Man sees another 10 star review for you. Captain Planet sees an epic green mullet for me...WooHoo.

The best of your new daylilies this year.
I had many new daylilies this year that bloomed very nicely indeed, but one really lived up to all my expectations. I'd wanted it for awhile but hadn't seen it in person to verify if it was as pretty as its pictures. After its first few blooms I knew it was true love. Pink Aloha was the daylily. Was there any new to you daylily that really wowed you this year?.....Maryl
Pink Aloha:
I wanted a new daylily, so bad this year, but,alas, could not afford one, at any price after paying for house insurance this year, Took every penny I could muster up.(and I didn't even care what daylily either,as long as it was a new one for me :(, Oh well, maybe next year, I would love to have a fan of SEABISCUIT, named after the famous race horse. I do have a young seedling growing that the bees pollinated.
cherrystone X??
This was my absolute favorite new one: Linda Michaels' "Mothra". The plant was vigorous and strong and the flowers were shocking--big, confident and imposing and yet still gave a sense of motion. Lots of blooms too. Second favorite new one: Art Gallery Wisdom Tooth--also lots of bloom and it proved to be quite pod fertile.
That's a pretty pink too Debra. I'm particularly partial to the corduroy effect on the petals. Ozzie: The color on Mothra is very striking. I can see why it's one of your favorites. Edward: I always look forward to your daylilies, and this one is no exception. You seem to have many nice whites. Jean: I hope next year you are able to get Seabiscuit. There's a short list of ones I'd sure like to try (Buffalo Thunder anyone?), but they are much too expensive for me right now, so what's a gal to do but wait until the price comes down?.......Maryl
