Rotator Cuff Problem
Hi guys,
About a month ago I noticed some soreness around my shoulder, it was'nt very bad so I still played but only lightly and last week I felt no pain or soreness anymore and thought I was over it.
I would play but conservatively because I needed to practice for in club tournement...
A few days ago I felt a sudden pain (looking at anatomy diagrams the pain seems to be the teres minor and major tendon region) whilst reaching for a high ball. It felt like muscles tendons rubbing over each other with a lot of force. straight afterwards the pain was so bad I could not move my arm. It felt like my arm was broke at the shoulder when I tried to raise it. I massaged it straight away and the pain went away enough for me to drive home. I felt a light pain/soreness around the area for a few days since.
I have not noticed a notable loss of strength but doing certain things on youtube to test teres major/minor regions give me a bit of pain.
I have made a doctors appointment but that is not for a few days.
I am concerned it may be a tear. Just wondering if anyone knows a test or way to differentiate between rotator cuff tendonitis or a tear.
Could be almost anything, without a sport's doc looksee.....
Wear and tear thru the years could onset that quickly.
A strain or tear could bring it on quickly.
For years, I couldn't brush my teeth with either hand alone, or shave, from wear and tear usage thru the 50 years of sports and injuries. Had to sleep with my arms pinned over my head.
But that's me, old age overuse.
Don't know much about you.
I am 34 years old and have been playing for about 3 years. Before that I used to do weights but not very heavy.
Build is 178 pounds and height is 182cm.
I have a GP's appointment tomorrow afternoon but don't think I'll get an answer straight away unless its something obvious. I'm hoping he'll send me for an MRI but that could be months away.
You advanced age could be a sign of wear and tear.
Everyone wears out differently.
Did you do lots of lifting throughout your years?
And without a sports doc's diagnosis, we can only speculate.
A reasonable amount of lifting just to maintain good shape nothing serious.
I will see what the doctor says tomorrow and report back. Reading the internet I guess there is no easy way to diffarentiate a tear from tendonitis.
Thanks for the information, appreciate it.
Problem here is that if it was so easy, why would we need doctors who charge and see you?
We don't know your threshold of pain, don't know if you wince when you lift your arms, don't know your exersise history, don't know your work and play schedules, or what you look like and what your physical fitness has been and is currently.
A doctor will find the answer to all those questions before answering any of your questions.
Yeah I see what you mean, I thought maybe I was missing the obvious and someone who'd had a similar problem would be able to point out something which could confirm one or the other.
Again thanks for your time in replying, I will post what the doctor says tomorrow.
My experience was that they practice conservative and rule out tendinitis first through medication. Then they can get the go ahead to scope it. Unless you are a college or pro athlete, you kind of are forced into a waiting game.
I have read that some injuries, including some shoulder injuries, because of the lack of nerves in the injured tissue, may progress for some time without much or any pain.
QUOTE from an earlier reply (http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showt...shoulder+video)
" This Todd Ellenbecker video is the best detailed description of shoulder issues that I have found. At minute 8 he describes the orientation to hold your shoulder in serving to minimize the risk of impingement (similar to the Jim McLennan video advice in Reply #3).
There are many recent shoulder injury discussions in the Health & Fitness Forum. Use to inform yourself but it is a very risky approach to diagnose or treat yourself based on the internet.
I have read that with shoulder pain you can be doing damage without much pain so take it very seriously. Some swelling
may also be present that might make any mechanics painful.
Best to stop and see a Dr.
For mechanics you need to study the serve, video your own serve (60p fps video can be useful but high speed video/fast shutter is excellent). A well qualified instructor who can coach the serve is a good idea. In any case, you should especially not be experimenting with your serve if injured. Can one bad motion tear something? "
I have read that by age 70 about 30% of people have had rotator cuff tears that would show up on examination or autopsy. Most do not know that they have ever had these injuries.
I believe that the shoulder joint is the most difficult joint to diagnose due to the complex motions and all the components. For example, inflammation can affect adjacent structures such as bursa sacks, etc. I would not take one person's experience with their injury as applying to yours, but it might.
Thanks for the information Chas will look up the serve video when I'm able to get back to playing.
Went to the doctor today and he made me do some arm motions and felt around the shoulder ligaments. He says I have not got a major tear but is unable to give a confident diagnosis to rule out small tears.
He recommends I take break from tennis and other activitys that cause pain in the region for 3 weeks and if the pain persists to see him again.
Most rotator cuff injuries involve the RC muscles & tendons. I have read that tendon injuries take from 2-6 months to heal. Suggest that you research this point on your own.
I don't know much about the ligaments of the shoulder (don't visualize any ligaments as being part of the rotator cuff). [A ligament connects a bone to a bone.] Did the Dr use the term "ligaments"? Were there any other terms used that you can look up? From the examination, were any injuries identified as possibilities?
The Ellenbecker video is very useful for the shoulder anatomy and injury issues, the serving advice is only a small part of the video.
Get an mri then go PT route or surgey then PT. Your doc and you will decide which is best for u.
Hi guys,
I'm in the UK so just seen a GP (general doctor) no chance to seek a second opinion unless I go to the ER. I have to go back to him if the problem persists after 3 weeks.
I used the term ligament myself, I guess a better term should have been muscles and tendons. Anyway he just did the basic arm movements and felt around the shoulder. The only thing he ruled out was a full tear. When I asked questions about weather it was maybe a strain/tendonitis or partial tear he did not want to give an opinion and just kept saying come back in 3 weeks if it does not show signs of clearing up.
Usually for a non urgent case like mine a MRI can take months to a year from the date it was requested. I think GPs cannot request them and only specialists in hospitals can. A GP to specialist referal can take a month or more too.
I just have to hope its not serious otherwise it will be a long wait and convoluted process to get it treated.
UK GPs
I am also based in hte UK and have had shoulder problems in the past. Without private health cover it could all take a long time as you say and considering the cost of MRI scans, the GP will avoid and dealy sending you for one as long as possible. Unless it is impacting your normal daily life outside of sport they are unlikely to be interested in spending that budget. Hopefully you have an understanding GP who agrees that tennis is important in keeping you healthy.
In terms of the understanding of shoulder injuries I would not expect much int he way of certainty from your GP. I say this with great respect as I am the son of one and as my wife is also a doctor, we have many GP friends. The shoulder is very difficult to diagnose and even the specialists don't find the answers easy.
My story last year involved a visit to the GP to whom I explained my shoulder injury. He asked me to raise it to the side and front, asked where it hurt, how I did it etc. As it only impacted my tennis or ball throwing abilities there was almost no interest. Fortunately they were willing to write me a letter for referral as I have private healthcare. I was then seen by a sports specialist doctor who is now a professor in a shoulder clinic at a private hospital. After unltrasound, examination and MRI, the best guess was SLAP tear, slight impingement and bursitis as a result. There was no certainty despite the MRI and the only way to tell was to let the surgeon scope it with a view to repairing what they were expecting to find or not if their best guess was wrong. In the end they were right and it was repaired and it has all healed over time.
I am lucky as I have private cover, but if you don't and don't fancy running up large bills paying directly, then you will need to make sure you impress on your GP the impact it is having overall. Hopefully they will be helpful, but the NHS is not well set up for sport injuries in many places although there are some specialist clinics I know of in London hospitals. Make sure you research what is nearby if you want to push for a referral.
Best of luck with the injury
It is important no to be too British about it and understate the issue. I would make sure to emphasis the fact it has stopped all sport and if it is making practical things hard then definitely highlight. If you want to stretch things a bit, it might be worth saying it is keeping you awake at night as that is probably the easiest stretch and if getting to sleep had not been my main strength in life would certainly have been true with my shoulder injury.
I have always kept my private healthcare in the UK as I played a lot of rugby for many years before returning to more tennis and golf and have always been concerned about tearing cruciates etc. It is an important expense for me, but becomes less affordable each year as costs rise.
Assuming money is not unlimited as for most of us, then try and be as patient as possible and not rush back. I wish I had not pushed some injuries in the past as they certainly took longer to heal as a result.
Hi guys,
thankyou very much for your information.
Its been about a week now and i'm starting to notice more pain.
I have not gotten much sleep last night. I went to bed approx 2am and woke at 4am in agony. Its been a few days like this now with the most severe pain occuring when i'm sleeping.
It feels like a broken bone in my shoulder. The exact same type of pain when I broke my arm a few years back and the broken bones would rub against eachother.
Also I'm starting to feel pain when driving. I have a gear shift car and changing gears is causing a pain. Sometimes so much that I cannot get it into the gear i'm intending to when changing. Also getting pain when changing clothes and especially trying to put my socks on.
I cannot see any swelling or brusing. The pain is worst when i'm doing a similar motion to a windsheild wiper follow through.
I'm going to try and get another appointment with the GP in the morning.
I'm hoping i'm not causing more damage to the injury just doing everyday tasks like driving etc...
It sounds like you should be able to push for a referral given the problems described. If it is impacing sleeping and normal daily activities please highlight it to the doctor. As Chas Tennis says above, if you can go prepared with where you would like to go in terms of referral that would be a good idea. GPs are sometimes a good source of knowledge on specialists and in many cases a bit useless. Unfortunately I only know London and the people I dealt with only seem to be in private practice and it really depends on where you are in the country. I know there are a few decent NHS hospital sports clinics in different London hospitals, but ask around and search online depending on where you are based.

VEX Sack Attack Referee Training Videos
John and Karthik at VEX Robotics have put together a fantastic set of videos for teams competing in the VEX Sack Attack Robotics Competition.
The 9-video series breaks down the rules for the competition, and shows how referees will interpret the different scenarios that may occur. It's definitely a worthwhile watch for any teams competing this year (or anyone who wants to see John hug this years game object).
You can watch the full video series here, or on their YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEC832168771665F2
New ROBOTC Firmware for VEX Cortex Users with Integrated Motor Encoders
There have been reports of the VEX Cortex locking up when using the new Integrated Motor Encoders. The root cause appears to be an unhandled exception that is generated when the I2C communication link between the Cortex and encoders is compromised. To prevent the Cortex from locking up, we've put together a new ROBOTC Firmware file that handles the exception. The differences between this new firmware and the version included in ROBOTC 3.08 only apply to the new Integrated Motor Encoders, so users who aren't taking advantage of them should continue using the firmware included in ROBOTC 3.08. VEX Robotics Competition teams that are using the encoders are encouraged to load the new firmware, and to take extra steps (zip ties, ect) securing the 4-pin I2C wires, to help prevent them from coming loose in the first place.
The new ROBOTC firmware, "VEX_Cortex_0912A" can be downloaded here. Once the file is downloaded, you will need to extract the .hex file from it.
To transfer the firmware to your Cortex:
- Open ROBOTC
- Go to Window > Menu Level > Expert
- Make sure the Cortex is connected to the PC over USB or VEXnet
- Go to Robot > Download Firmware > ROBOTC Firmware > Choose File…
- When the File Selection window appears, navigate to the "VEX_Cortex_0912A.hex" file you extracted and select it
- A Download Progress window will appear in ROBOTC and begin the download
- When the Download Progress window closes, the Firmware download is complete
More information on the problem can be found in this post on the VEX Forums.
Thanks to everyone for submitting your testing results, and for your patience as we work out the issues. A special thanks goes out to VEX Forum user, jpearman.
VEX Robotics World Championship Firmware Update
VEX Robotics has released the following information on their website:
The VEX Robotics technical support team has identified an issue that some competition teams are experiencing in which the Cortex Microcontroller is unable to resume VEXnet link after a Microcontroller reset.
To help eliminate this issue at the VEX Robotics World Championship we are releasing a special version of the VEX Firmware, specifically for World Championship teams (3.21_Worlds). This firmware version modifies the Cortex re-initialization to help the VEXnet link reconnect in the event of a reset (i.e. caused by VEXnet Key "jostling", power interruption, battery brownout, or static).
We know that competition teams dislike updating firmware so close to an event, so we are publishing this update in the hopes that teams will have a chance to test it "at home" before coming to VEX Worlds. If you're comfortable with the new version, we strongly urge you to use it at the World Championship to help prevent potential problems related to a Cortex reset.
This firmware only updates a "back end" relinking protocol and it does not affect anything related to robot performance — you don't need to tweak your autonomous mode, or anything like that.
Visit the VEX Forum thread on this firmware release for more discussions and to post any questions or concerns.
We've done an array of tests and the firmware is compatible with ROBOTC 3.08. User jpearman of the VEX Forums has also posted his test results, here.
We recommend that all competition teams update to ROBOTC 3.08 and use the 3.21 Worlds firmware. The firmware can be downloaded using the VEXnet Firmware Upgrade Utility, or ROBOTC using the following procedures:
1) Connect the Cortex to the Computer over USB
2) Switch the ROBOTC Menu Level to Expert:
3) Go to Robot > Download Firmware > Master CPU Firmware > Choose File…
4) Navigate to VEXnet Firmware Upgrade folder in your Program Files directory and select "CORTEX_V3_21_Worlds.BIN".
5) Press Open to open the firmware and begin the download process.
6) Once the CORTEX_V3_21_Worlds.BIN Master firmware has finished downloading, you should also download the ROBOTC firmware. Go to Robot > Download Firmware > Manually Update Firmware > ROBOTC Firmware > Standard File.
Michigan VEX Regionals
A few weeks ago I came to the VEX Regionals over at Monroe, Michigan which was held at Monroe High School. This was their first year hosting the VEX competition, and Steve Ketron did a nice job organizing the event.
There were about two dozen teams, and the robots that were built by the teams were phenomenal.
I've been fortunate enough to go to several VEX competitions over the years, and this one had a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I'd chalk that up to the friendly teams surrounding Monroe that came, and also Steve's planning for the competition.
I took several hundred photos AND video for the event. I will post the video as soon as I can get all of them onto youtube.
Note: If you want a photo removed, I completely understand! Just comment on this post letting me know which photo to remove and I will remove it immediately. Your comment will not show up below so it will be anonymous.

Decanter book reviews
A Life in Wine, James Halliday, Hardie Grant Books; A$45
After innumerable wine books, James Halliday, at age 73, has taken to more personal writing. What makes this memoir so surprising is its readability, thanks to very good writing, as well as the humour and colour with which it's delivered. Let's face it, stories of the great bottles others have drunk can bore, but Halliday manages to entertain.
The many anecdotes – of dinners, trips, meetings with memorable people, vineyard planting and winery establishment – contain impressive detail. Halliday has a phenomenal memory but this is quite astonishing, even if assisted by fastidious record-keeping. And his great wine tastings are legion: the double-magnum of 1865 Lafite, the 70-vintage vertical of Latour from 1920 to '99, etc.
It's an enjoyable read and there is plenty of wit in such tales as the removal of 22 tonnes of wine (his private cellar) from Sydney to Melbourne; the fly-fishing tales (especially Halliday's great friend the late Australian wine legend Len Evans inadvertently cooking his first trout in washing-up detergent); the confusion of misunderstood French and student antics, and the mischievous pranks of the late Australian restaurateur Anders Ousback and other stories involving Evans.
And – is it an accident? – there are more pictures of the author shirtless than in most swimmers' memoirs. I counted nine!

Not only was it Italy's first large displacement motorcycle, but the 1967 V7 was also elegantlystyled by the legendary designer Giulio Cesare Carcano.
Four decades after sparking Italian enthusiasm for big displacement V-Twin engines, Moto Guzzi adds a new chapter of history with the U.S. market debut of the 2009 V7 Classic. Acknowledged as one of the most beautifully styled motorcycles of its era, the original V7 became an instant classic when it was unveiled. Not only was it Italy's first large displacement motorcycle, but the 1967 V7 was also elegantly styled by the legendary designer Giulio Cesare Carcano. Just as importantly, the V7 became an instant technology trendsetter thanks to its innovative transverse, air-cooled V-twin engine with shaft drive. It is this unique engine configuration that ultimately became the single-most recognized Moto Guzzi brand attribute.
The new 2009 V7 Classic continues to showcase the many benefits of Moto Guzzi's shaft drive technology, including reliable, consistent performance and smooth acceleration. Originally commissioned by the Italian police force, the V7 quickly found legions of loyal fans and moved to mass production, where it inspired numerous variants, such as the V7 Sport, V7 Special and the U.S. market versions V7 Ambassador, Eldorado and California. Today, motorcycle enthusiasts who appreciate authenticity and classic good looks but don't want to sacrifice riding comfort and advanced technology will find the V7 Classic an excellent choice for everyday, anytime adventures – and an authentic style statement that sets you apart.
Moto Guzzi Motor Music
The sound of the Moto Guzzi engine is as distinctive today as it ever was. Add proven reliability and low fuel consumption, and the V7 Classic's four-stroke 744cc 90-degree V-Twin is the ideal powerplant for today's multi-faceted riding requirements. Solid torque off the line and plenty more of it across a generous powerband range ensures consistent, predictable performance on the highway or around town. A five-speed gearbox is precise and ratios have been optimized for enjoyable cruising at low revs. The quiet shaft drive system provides long life with minimum maintenance. Other technical advancements include special graphite low-wear pistons. An electronic Weber Marelli fuel injection system with 36 mm throttle bodies delivers the necessary ingredients for ignition.
Both the engine and transmission are finished in black and chrome rocker covers put the spotlight on the V7 Classic's aluminum alloy cylinders.
Engineered for Stability, Smoothness and Agility
The Moto Guzzi V7 Classic is instantly responsive to rider input and its light weight (just 401.2 lbs.), upright riding position and low center of gravity make it equally effortless to maneuver, whether on a straight stretch of asphalt or a mountain pass. With a seat height of 31.7 inches, the bike is also well suited to smaller-stature riders. And, the small-block twin cradle frame with removable bolt-on lower section adds superb stability and precision cornering capability, with steering rake set at 27.5 degrees.
Other classic Moto Guzzi styling touches include chrome spoked wheels,cigar-shaped chrome Lafranconi exhausts and instruments that clearly resemble the famous Veglia-Borlettis from the 70s.
The V7 Classic's suspension has been designed for a balance of rider comfort and nimble response. The front suspension features 40 mm hydraulic, telescoping Marzocchi forks with 130 mm travel. In the rear, twin pre-load
adjustable Sachs shocks provide 118 mm of travel.
Braking is just as predictable as acceleration. Superior Brembo brakes, including a 320 mm floating disc at the front and a 260 mm disc at the rear, provide excellent stopping power. The V7 Classic is fitted with an 18-inch wheel up front and 17-inch at the rear. The high profile tires further add to the V7 Classic's superb handling and riding comfort.
Styled to Honor a Legend
While the V7 Classic's engine has the same displacement as the last Moto Guzzi model to bear the V7 badge, the 1972-74 750cc V7 Sport, designers styled the new V7 Classic to honor several variants from the illustrious V7
model line. For example, liberal use of chrome, from the exhaust to instrumentation, recalls the V7 Special, while the fuel tank design recaptures the voluptuous lines of the V7 Sport. As a whole, the bike evokes the most memorable Moto Guzzis of the 60s and 70s, making this modern-day motorcycle an eye-catching classic alternative in any crowd of
me-too Twins.
Other classic Moto Guzzi styling touches include chrome spoked wheels, cigar-shaped chrome Lafranconi exhausts and instruments that clearly resemble the famous Veglia-Borlettis from the 70s. While the cockpit look is traditional, important operational and diagnostic data is presented via a modern digital display unit, presenting time, external temperature and mileage readouts. The classic chrome speedometer and rev counter complete the instrumentation panel. Chrome is also applied to the front headlight and rear light cluster.
The long two-passenger seat also pays homage to its predecessors. Elegantly top stitched and elongated, the seat incorporates chrome passenger grab handles and has the Moto Guzzi name stamped on the rear in white lettering.
The seat blends gracefully with the rear mudguard. The side panels house the same stowage compartments that so stylishly set off the side view of the original machine.
The 2009 Moto Guzzi V7 Classic is available at U.S. Moto Guzzi retailers for a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $8,490. The exclusive body color is Moon White, a lustrous pearl white accented with classic Moto Guzzi tank decals.

Very beautiful machine. I wish I could own one. I also do not need more than 50 hp to get around. How much horse power is enough? I have been in third world countries in my youth and have seen whole families on little 125's. My first car was a 1963 V.W. with 36 hp. Ask the good Dr. Frazier, it seems he's been around. Anyway, nice bike.
tim from the uk -guzzi v7 cafe
May 27, 2009 05:36 AM
hi i used to have a moto guzzi grisso 1100 2 valve and it was a nice bike to ride with tergi pipes what a great sound and power but the only probs with the griso was the clocks always had condensation build up and it needed a new clock but the problem came back again but dont get me wrong it was a fantastic bike but know i own a kawasaki 12r but i have to say i went to my local bike dealers and there stood a moto guzzi v7 cafe and it looks so good and the finish is spot on so i may px my kwaker in for the guzzi it seems to be the bike for me so who needs to go at 185mph but in this country they jail you for silly speeds riding is about safety and enjoyment and that v twin sound and its nice to have a none clunky first gear and with in my eyes most modern bikes suffer from so to me the guzzi wins over and over and its nice to have a bike what is not the norm like most bikes out there

I happen to own the v7 classic with stain tunes that were made up as research and developement and the Factory did a fantastic job and the note from the pipes reminds me of an inboard v8 sppeed boat. There dyno showed about 4.5 more horse power between 2-3000 rpms and is just music to the ears. Check out the Guzzista site for photo of pipes. I have just returned from Easter run out in the country NSW Australia and fuel economy each time was about 11 litres at 245 km or close to. The bike does feel small hopping off bigger bikes but was quite happy on country roads att 100-120 kph and is similar to my old Triumph 500 twin with much more grunt.

January 14, 2009 11:30 AM
Over 900mi on the bike now. Checked the valve clearance and torqued the heads, All spot on. Staying with the factory recommended break-in (under 6000rpm) at this mileage. Engine pulls a quick 80mph in 4th at 6000. Overall this bike has lived up to my expectations. I have been impressed with the character of the engine and high quality of the bike. I personal feeling is high marks to Moto Guzzi for keeping the many satisfying aspects of the original V7 and incorporating modern improvements that add to the charm of the machine!! I see a black and gold bike is now announced and a Cafe' style as well!

anyone worried about horsepower is missing the point, I see a fantastic classic motorcycle that puts a smile on your face while riding no matter the speed, or lack there of.
gfrench440 -V7 Classic
January 11, 2009 12:44 PM
I first saw this bike is a magazine that I get from the UK. It was released last year in Europe and they originally said it would not be sold in the US. I found out in July of 08 that it was coming here and I started calling the closest 2 dealers neither of which knew anything about it. Long story short, I stayed in contact and I have now had the V7 in my possession for 2 weeks. I love the bike because it a pure and simple motorcycle and there aren't many of those being made these days. Jim in the previous post got it right, it is not for sport bike guys and so it doesn't need a lot of power. I have 30 bikes in my collection and I ride them all. One of them is an 06 Ducati Sport 1000 monoposto. It is very strong and handles well but the V7 is more fun to ride. The V7 makes plenty torque way down low in the revs and keeps on pulling. If you buy this bike for it's intended use it will have more than enough power to satisfy. One thing more, I had been looking at pictures for more than a year and I was really surprised at how small the bike is in person. It's quite a bit smaller that a new Bonneville. It's about the same size as the Kawasaki W650 that I have which to me is just perfect for around town or afternoon rides out on country roads. And the sound is sooo sweet, and in some ways is like the Ducati. Great job Moto Guzzi!

"I doubt it makes 40hp" Umm, it actually makes 48 HP, according to the sales brochure. "It needs to match the straight line performance of the SV 650/Ninja 650r type bikes." Why? You're comparing apples to oranges here. This isn't designed to be a sport bike, it's a naked air-cooled standard. If people want a SV650 or Ninja 650R that's the bike they will buy, but I don't think the designers envisaged sport-bike folks on the V7C. I sold my FJR1300 (way more bike than I needed) and I'm getting one of these. I like it!! Pure and simple. I don't need 72.5 Hp (Suzuki), or the 71 Hp of the Kawasaki or even the 148 Hp of the FJR I owned. 48 Hp is fine for me.
Jimbolaya -HP: a/c vs. liquid-cooled
December 5, 2008 07:53 PM
Sorry for double posting, but to "Kevin-Guzzi V-7" 's earlier post. All things being equal an a/c twin would always make less power than one being liquid cooled; conversely the a/c motor would have a great potential for better styling vs. the liquid cooled bike.
Jimbolaya -probably less than 40hp
December 5, 2008 07:47 PM
I doubt it makes 40hp. Hope it lasts longer than my '01 Guzzi Quota, which threw a rod bearing w/ only about 12k miles US. It looks very sweet. An old friend/co-worker owned a mint V7 Sport, one of the best, most naturaly beautiful & artistic motor vehicles ever. He was a collector w/ so many vehicles that he had to "borrow" parking spaces from friends all over the area; in this case the V7 was parked at work (a firehouse). It was parked in such a way that every time you passed from the com-room to the apparatus floor you would be staring straight at the bike, one of the more pleasurable experiences while at work. The aluminum front wheel hub housing vented dual-drum brakes was especially beautiful; even the metal grill covering the vent was perfectly shaped & formed & looked completely bulletproof. The lines on the bike are excruciatingly symmetrical, with every form seeming to flow perfectly into the next. The trademark Guzzi transverse a/c 90-degree V-twin is just plain gorgeous. Hopefully reliability has returned back to a level consistent w/ that of the original V7 Sport.

This is a cool looking bike but 40 HP?? Time for a scaled down version of the twin-cam four valve motor with 65 - 75 RWHP. to be a success in the USA,It needs to match the straight line performance of the SV 650/Ninja 650r type bikes. At least Guzzi is trying!

Mintz Levin's Health Care Fraud Enforcement Defense group has published a series of "Year in Review" articles discussing its observations about health care fraud enforcement trends in 2011 and its opinions as to what these trends might mean for 2012. This article, the next installment of our ongoing series, focuses on health care enforcement activities in the first quarter of 2012.
Federal and state enforcement authorities have committed significant resources to health care enforcement initiatives and strategies so far in 2012. For example, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) held a Health Care Fraud Prevention Summit in Chicago, Illinois, on April 4, 2012. Speaking at the summit, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius reported on the federal government's successes in combating health care fraud since 2010...

Fresh Water cooling water dirty brown

How long has this engine been sitting idle?
"Brown" coloration of the cooling water is most probably a symptom of the antifreeze's rust inhibitors being consumed. In cast iron engine blocks the normal course of action is - the constantly flowing HOT water produces a layer of 'black' or 'blue-black' ferrous rust ... and this is protective. Upon long standing and without repeated heat/hot cycles the ferrous oxide slowly converts back to "red" or ferric oxide which is destructive. Long term storing such an engine by draining it (but leaving high humidity in the cooling passages) is the worst possible scenario with respect to ferrous to ferric oxide formation.
Suggest you drain the brown water, refill with at least 50:50 mix of antifreeze/water .... then RUN THE HELL OUT OF THE ENGINE (hours and days) to be sure that you redevelop the important 'black' ferrous oxide (black rust) layer inside all the cooling passages and channels; make sure that the engine is 'soaked' with 180 def. F water temp.
If the engine HAS been recently and long term been run hard and hot .... change as above and if the discoloration reappears, .... then check for a 'blown head gasket'. Your local 'automotive machinist shop' can give you 'tips' on adding a 'blacklight' dye to the water, etc. to check for blowby carbon monoxide/dioxide in the cooling water ... from a blown head gasket.

ONTARIO - Mac-Hi finished third here in the 8-team district wrestling tournament. More importantly, the Pioneers got nine wrestlers through to the state tournament.
Crook County claimed the district title and Ontario was second.
Four wrestlers in each weight class advance and the Pioneers brought home three individual crowns.
Ryan Bullock, at 135 pounds, pinned all three of his opponents to win the 135 title and Mac-Hi coach Beau Chester expects Bullock to be a No. 2 or 3 seed at state. Bullock finished his district run with a second round pin of Ontario's R.J. Gonzalez in the 135 title match.
Josh Rutherford, at 152, also pinned his way to the title. Rutherford pinned Crook County's Chuckar Wilson in the first round in the title match.
At 160 pounds, Francisco Saldana completed the championship threesome for Mac-Hi.
Saldana also went 3-0 and decisioned Jake Zeigler of Crook County in his championship match.
Mac-Hi will send three second-place finishers to state to join the three district champions.
Tavis Hodgen was decisioned by La Grande's Piper McCallum in the 119 title match, but earns a second-place and a ticket to state.
Jesse Sargent suffered a loss by decision to Ontario's Cade Hartley in the 130 championship, but finished in second place.
Lawrence Timmons earned a second-place spot as Timmons suffered a pin by Crook County's Bryson Martin in the 189 final.
At 145, Mac-Hi's Brayden Moller earned third and a ticket to state.
Shelby West at 135 and Taylor Hodgen at 152 finished fourth and will round out Mac-Hi's nine man contingent to state.
"Overall the team wrestled really, really, well," Chester said. "It was a good two days for us. I'm happy for the nine kids that are going to state."
The nine Pioneers will open their bid for state hardware Friday at Memorial Coliseum in Portland.

Once the part arrived, we followed directions to remove the refrigerator door. We removed the hinge cover which was a two-piece topping on the refrigerator. We then were able to remove the door and replace the lower Hinge Bearing. We put the door back on, replaced the cover and the door now opens and closes quietly and smoothly. We are senior citizens and not particularly "handy"....figured we saved ourselves $100. or so. Good deal.

Cmdr. Janice Rothganger said the robbery happened around 8 p.m. at a home in the 3000 block of Angelique Street.
The victim was home alone when she walked into the living room and saw the man standing there with a handgun and a bandana covering his face.
The man allegedly demanded the woman's purse. When she gave it to him, he left the home without harming her.
Cmdr. Rothganger said the man is someone the victim had been acquainted with, so she was able to provide a detailed description.
Officers are following up on leads as the investigation continues.

Ideally I'd like to be able to set course via either wind instruments or sailing to a waypoint on the plotter. Is another option to connect the seatalk instruments to the course computer in parallel since it has both seatalk and NG inputs? I have an extra long seatalk cable I could do this with if needed.

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Blur33 2.0 Running Shoe:
So far I like this shoe, it feels great but toward the end of my first test ride I did feel tightness on my mid foot, could be how tight I laced them so I'll keep you posted. Can't wait to try the Excel in the 33 family.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Womens Saucony Grid Fastwitch 5 Running Shoe:
I used to run in Saucony's and loved them, but switched to Asics Gel Kayano's a few years ago. While they were great shoes, they felt a bit heavy, so I recently came back to Saucony. I was a bit worried to go to a more minimal shoe (I run 20+ miles/week and did not want to "slowly build up" in the new shoe) but the transition has been easy. Overall, I like this shoe and have had no problem maintaining the same mileage. I also like that they cost about 60% of what the Kayano costs :-)

practicing serve
how long did it take your serve to mature to the level of your groundies? I play on weekends only, and my serve is always my weak point. Sometimes, my flat serves and topspin serves are just "on"; I get aces left and right. Other times, I get 1 serve in, and all the other ones are double faults. It is really bad when the first serve goes into the net or long 90% of the time and the second serve is almost slower than my groundstrokes. Nevermind serving to the backhand/forehand, or slice/topspin. I'm more worried about simply getting the ball in. I've thought about just practing my serve for a couple of hours to improve my consistency until something clicks, and I start serving consistently. In the mean time, I'm just wondering how other people have developed their serves over time.
Nothing gets better without practice, and playing on weekends only is hardly enough practice for your groundies let alone your serve.
Try to get out once a week and hit serves for like an hour or so. You'll be happy you did.
its critical that when you practice you are doing it right. i see way too many people repeating terrible service motions
I don't have a coach, and I'm not going to film myself. However, I have seen just about every serving video on youtube. I'm also unsure whether I should change my serving motion to slide my dragging foot in. I can see how that will help me in the long run to get more kick in my serve; but that motion is more inconsistent for me, especially in high wind situations because I have less control over my balance.
hmm......well you said no video, so good luck!
by the way, balance? do you mean your toss?
Why won't you film yourself? It's a great way to evaluate yourself. You'd be surprised how different you serve from what you THINK you look like. You don't have to upload it but do yourself a favour and film yourself. For me, it's a huge reality check and helped me improve A LOT.
I don't want to film myself because that would require me to spend $100 to purchase a camera. I don't even have a point/shoot. All have is a crappy 0.1 MP webcam on my laptop. But I think my form is good, really.
At one point I was practicing just the serve twice a week and i went from a double fault machine to both serves being reliable weapons in about 2 months. Unfortunately, I stopped and the feeling and timing slowly deteriorated even though i still played a couple sets a week. A year later, I am back at double fault machine.
Once a week I go out and serve like 50-100 balls to both deuce and ad courts. Practice practice. My serve used to suck big time (double faults, arm hurting etc). When I decided to seriously fix it, I started by reading everything I could find on *proper* serve technique, and studied videos too. No coaching, just playing around and figuring things out on my own. It may not be perfect, but it's definitely a lot better. The process is ongoing.
I go out to hit 100 balls at least once or twice a week to keep my timing on serves and motion in check.
For me, I had no serve when I started playing from scratch in Aug 2011, it took me 2/3 months before I had a serve but my toss was still very unreliable. It improved more once round about March when I fixed my toss and then from May-July, I drilled in the racquet drop and pronation after contact.
Then during the course of Aug - Sep, I've been out practicing 1,2 or even 3 times a week hitting at least a couple of baskets even when I had 30mins to spare (luckily there's public courts 5 mins from where I live). Working on my kick, slices and flats.
Just be mindful that you warm up properly before you practice serves - I use resistance bands to warm up and also keep your grip loose.
if you cant hire a coach, you have to have a video. DO you have a smart phone, im pretty sure you have some way of making some short videos, otherwise how are you gonna know what your serving motions are. I was just cranking out crappy serves for 2 years thinking I had everything straight until I decided with the help of a friend who plays a lot better to get a short clip. Boy was I amazed at all the glitches that was hindering my serve. I tried to isolate each component in about 2 months time my serve is probably about 100 percent better.
ok maybe I will try to find a way to film myself serving.
any suggestions for affordable yet reliable recorders? lol
your camera phone? if you dont have one, i am sure someone within 100ft will have an iphone you can borrow for 5min
Without even seeing a video, it sounds like the fickle condition of your serve right now can be addressed, at least to a certain degree. I very much agree with our pals that everyone is smart to practice their serve, even players who get out a few times a week. Unless we hit a bucket or two a week (a bucket being maybe 65-70 balls), serves are rarely as grooved as they could be with a little attention outside of a competitive setting. Careful though; logging hours of serve practice at a time is overkill.
That first serve being only the occasional "ace-fest" while your second serve can get slower than your strokes is NOT a rare scenario for lots of players. My first thought here is to encourage you to consider getting your first and second serves more similar to each other. Eventually your service motion should be about the same tempo for any serve you hit. While you'll want some decent racquet speed to hit a flatter heater, you'll also want to make a full move on the ball to make enough spin on your other serves. Look at the pros on TV and you'll see not-too-much contrast between the delivery of their first and second serves.
If dragging your foot forward as you wind into your serve feels natural or "right" for you, use it. We're all a little different in terms of serving stance. Your balance, etc. will depend mostly on getting your toss into the right spot up in the air so that you can make a consistent move on it. In building a dependable serve, a good toss is a must. Work that out now if it needs some attention.
I say getting a consistent second serve is more important than a power serve first. If you are double faulting because you don't have either a reliable first or second serve, then I believe it is better to have two similar second serves, with kick and slice variety than a flat 1-ace-in-200 first serves power stroke.
If you can be down 0-30 or even 0-40 on serve and know your serves can still carry you through to possibly winning the game, then you know you have a pretty decent stroke.
I think my second serve is harder to return than my first...I have learned to place it, sometimes give it some pace, and spin it a couple of different ways. When your opponent challenges you to serve it at their strength and you can consistently go to the weaker side, you are at so much more of an advantage, even if you are not serving a heater.
I practice serve more than any other, because I can take a bucket and hit for an hour any time. I have said it before also, serve starts with the proper grip (I believe
Continental)...uncomfortable in the beginning but worth practicing.
You should first develop a spin second serve that you can get in 80% of the time, at least. THEN work on developing a first serve.
It's no good hitting 1 in 5 service winners if you're doubling faulting 2 or 3 of those.
Keep working at it. And when it matures, keeping working more. Good luck!
Shadow swing your service motion, at dawn or late in the evening before sunset.
Use availible mirrors also.
Don't think your toss is such a epiphany. For pro tennis players, with almost perfect tosses, they only get their fastest serves in maybe 50
%, seldom better. As you start to swing faster, use your kinetic chain, you start lowering your chances of getting the ball in FAST and with good placement.

Hi All Sue here
We thought you all might be getting fed up with a monthly blog so are going to try and condense the last 3 months into one blog. We have continued to sail between Greece and Turkey and it has been a wonderful summer. Although Greece and Turkey are so close to each other they are very different and we love them both. The only problem we have is remembering to switch languages as the Turkish people would not be amused to be greeted in Greek and vice versa!! If all else fails and my memory deserts me I just smile sweetly and wait for them to speak first!!
Agathonisis Waterfront
Greek Churchyard
Highlights from Greece
Greek Church Interior, Fournoi
Syrian Refugees, Agathonisi
We spoke of Agathonisi at the end of our last blog and we have now visited there three times. It is the kind of place you just keep getting drawn back to. It is just so beautiful and unspoilt. Well worth a visit if you get the chance. But on our last visit there it was quite sad as the local Police Station, situated looking down over the harbour, was being used to home refugees from Syria until they could be put on a ferry to larger islands and then on to Athens. They are very sad and desperate people and have risked everything to escape. The ages ranged from babies up to elderly people and they have left their country with their life's belongings in a rucksack. The same is happening on many of the Greek islands as more and more refugees arrive. Many lives are being lost when their makeshift boats sink or worse still they are just told to jump into the water and swim for shore when boats carrying them are scared to get too close to the shore in case they are caught by Port Police.
Fournoi Anchorage
Well Tended Cemetery, Fournoi
Fournoi was a very small island also very beautiful and unspoilt by tourism. We hiked up to a small church on the top of the island and were amazed what we found. The decorations and paintings inside were stunning and the views from the top were well worth the hike. We were very impressed with their graveyard as well. Beautiful.
Young Man's Mausoleum
Gravestone Decoration
Patmos was our next stop. So many bays to choose from and all with turquoise waters to swim in, idyllic. We also went on the Town Quay so we could take a bus up to the famous Monastery of St John. The cave just below it is supposedly where St John dictated The Book of Revelation. Chris says it's all just a fairy story but it is a very impressive Monastery and being a good Catholic girl (although lapsed!!) I could at least relate to it all and you do feel that you should be on your best behaviour here and talk quietly. The only disappointing bit was that in the Cave, which you had to pay extra to go in, a monk gave a talk on the history of it but it was all in Greek so couldn't understand a word of it!! You have to go early in the day though as it a favourite spot for the cruise ships and gets very busy later on. We also made some new friends here who owned the last Prout Catamaran to be built before they were taken over by Broad Blue. As we own the first Catamaran to be built by Broad Blue it would have been very rude not to have a few drinkies together. Our friends off SY Nemir joined us as well and a very good evening was had by all.
Monastery at Patmos
Old and New Friends, Patmos
At Lipso we went on the Town Quay where we met up with friends Guido and Liz off SY Lupa. It was good to catch up with them and have a meal out together. They introduced us to the best bakery in Greece and it was very fortunate that we were only staying a couple of days!! We then moved to an anchorage, Lera Lipso for a couple of days. We find it's too hot to stay on the Town Quays for long and prefer to be anchored where we can swim to cool down.
Arki Harbour
Model Boats, Arki
Arki was worth a visit. We hiked around the island which didn't take long but it was very pretty. They had a toy town marina in the harbour, very cute.
Tiny Church on Leros
Inside the Church
We paid another visit to Simi to replenish our depleting alcohol supplies and to stock up for guests arriving. Think we may be paying one more visit there before we head back to Finike just to make sure we have enough to keep us going through the winter months.
Winter Supply Shopping
Stepping Stones to the Beach
And our old favourite Kastellorizon had to be visited again. We went there with our friends Jean & John. The men went for a hike over the island and the ladies shopped and drank coffee, YES coffee, it was too early for beer!!
Highlights from Turkey
Harbour Patrol, Iassos
Lounging in Noodle Chairs
Iassos & Gulluk Area
Another favourite, a real Turkish Village, where you feel you have stepped back in time. This time we sailed here with Tracy & Mike off SY Ria Luna. The men went out mussel gathering most days and while Tray and I just noodled around. Whilst here Tracy and I took the local Dolmus to Milas where Tracy had arranged for there credit cards to be delivered to. We spent the day shopping and had a lovely lunch, all was going well until we were told by the Tourist Information Office the wrong bus stop!! Luckily a nice man took us to the place where all the busses come to but now we had a 30 minute wait as we had just missed ours. Tracy being the kind friendly person that she is got talking to a man who sat down next to her. From what we can gather I think she inadvertently sold me to him!! A very fraught game of musical chairs ensued as we kept trying to shake him off!! We were so glad when our bus came and we could at last escape my " Supposed Client". When we eventually arrived back at Iassos and relayed to Chris and Mike what had happened they both just laughed and said they couldn't understand how we had got ourselves into so much trouble and should just have told him to go away!! Not so easy when you are surrounded by Turkish people and in their country. Must learn a few more choice Turkish words!! As usual I made friends with the local stray cats and dogs and they arrived at the back of the boat for titbits every day. Funny how they all get on together.
Large Fan Mussel, Gulluk
Another Sunset!!!
Whilst anchored in Akyarlar we saw a very large forest fire one evening. Apparently there have been a lot this year around Greece and Turkey as it has been so dry and many thousands of trees have been destroyed. From here we sailed around to Keci Buku to eat at our favourite restaurant of the year and also for Chris to pick up some things from the Chandlers here. We then moved on to Dirsek and Bozburun where we caught up with some friends from Ragusa, Vivienne & Alastair off Largo Star. We spent a lovely few days with them catching up before their boat is shipped back to New Zealand. Also in Bozburun we saw two more Catamarans like Nimrod anchored together. They were both charter boats.
Forest Fire, Akyarlar
Two Sister Ships of Nimrod
We arrived in Gocek beginning of September to meet up with my sister Caroline, who was flying into Dalaman to stay for a week (9 days actually as she sneaked a couple of extra days on!!). There are so many bays around Gocek and Fethiye that you could easily spend a couple of weeks around here. We visited Wall Bay, Ruin Bay, Kapi Creek, Sarsala, Tomb Bay and many more!! Then when she left we had two days to restock before our friends Jean & John arrived for 2 weeks (16 days actually as they also sneaked a couple of extra days in!!) and round we went again!!.
Sisters and Empty Glasses
Goats in Wall Bay
As they were flying home from Antalya it was now time to head towards Kemer. First stop was Gemilar then Kas, where we met up with friends John & Vanessa off SY Nostromo. Then on to Kastellerizon for a couple of days then to Kekova Roads. Another place where you can get lost for a few days in endless peaceful anchorages. Which we did!!
Tucked Into a Cosy Spot
Out for Dinner, Kas
Next stop our home again for the winter Finike Marina where we were made most welcome and my two doggy friends, Carpet & Tripod, still remembered me. One night here to visit the Saturday market then on to Tekirova. It was a very bumpy passage here and I was very glad when we arrived. Unfortunately the anchorage was very rolly the first night but did calm down by day two. Here we visited the Roman aqueduct and harbour streets, dwellings and shops. All very interesting. It was now time to say farewell to Jean & John and we headed back for one more night in Finike to get washing etc done and also to catch up with Mary Kay & Russell off SY Once Around before they head off for adventures new. Don't know when we will meet up with them again, I hate Goodbyes!! The down side of this life.
Gocek Bay Scenery
Old Fort, Kerkova Roads
Now we are making our way back up the coast for a rendezvous with our very good friends Lis & Flemming off SY Summertime and John & Vanessa off SY Nostromo. Probably we will get as far as Datca. Our plan is to go into Finike Marina mid November. So we will all slowly wend our way back with no doubt lots of socialising (Parties!!) along the way. Phew I feel quite dizzy now!!
Tekerova Roman Main Street
Early Morning Calm, Kerkova

Thank you SOOOOO much Irish! Very helpful!! I also just noticed there is a Gluten Free STORE a couple blocks away so I will definitely be making a visit soon
You're welcome. Just remember, though FRESH is best. And homemade is better than packaged. (especially bread)
Your diet should be more about the fruits, vegs, meat, seafood and nuts. The packaged stuff is convenient, yes, but the real nutrition is in the WHOLE natural foods.
Okay, kiddo?!
Be well--and check out the recipes in the cooking and baking section on here--these people are amazingly creative.

Quote from the_cardfatherThis assumes there is actual "hoarding" going on. We know it happens on MTGO more often than in paper, and there may be 1-5 dealers with sufficient stocks of P3K and such, but most of these cards show up on eBay with decent regularity meaning they are still in circulation.
Well, the point of the matter doesn't assume hoarding is going on. The point is that certain card prices are protected by Wizards while others are not, and that this doesn't make a lot of sense. This fact then encourages hoarding of certain cards because you are nearly guaranteed to never lose value (until Magic dies).
