An Answer to Chronic Pain Through Community
Kylee Swensrud doesn't want to talk about the bad stuff. About how the chronic back pain she's been living with for the past few years caused emotional distress and drove a wedge between her parents, or the weight it placed on her older sister over concern for her. And she especially doesn't want to talk about how it rendered a vibrant, outgoing teenager essentially lifeless.
"I don't want to focus on how negative all of this was," Kylee, now 19, says. "But I do want people to understand that I literally had no life. It truly was like a living hell. It was just this giant, rolling ball of ick."
The culprit came suddenly and without warning when Kylee's lower back gave out one day during ballet. "They thought it was just an injury," she says. "Nothing was noticeable as a trigger point, so they just told me to rest and do some physical therapy."
But after that rest and physical therapy, Kylee's back pain was still there. Local doctors then put her on a pain medications and muscle relaxers that she says did nothing more than require more pills.
After those medications failed to help, Kylee says she then turned to heat and ice treatments. "But I ended up icing so much that I burst my skin and got these huge welts, because I'd just become so dependent on the ice," she says. Read the rest of this entry »

Learning a New Way to Live, With Pain
Look at Carl White today and you see a busy, content family man. A husband and father of two, Carl recently completed his bachelor's degree and now is pursuing a master's in social work. When he's not in school or studying, you'll likely find him either at his job as a health unit coordinator at Mayo Clinic Hopsital, Saint Marys Campus, in Rochester, Minnesota, or spending time with his family.
At first glance, Carl may seem like any typical, hardworking dad. Rewind a few years, though, and you'll understand just how far Carl has come and the enormous struggles he has had to overcome.
Back in 2009, Carl was consumed with chronic pain — the result of two serious accidents. He attempted to cope by taking steady doses of strong pain medication, along with a significant amount of alcohol. But it provided little relief.
"I was in constant pain. I couldn't think. I couldn't function. My family was falling apart. I didn't know what to do," Carl says. "Time seemed to go so slowly while waiting for a magic bullet, a new medical breakthrough that would take all the pain away. I believed that all I needed was to have the right surgery or find the right pill, and I would be cured."
Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Angry and discouraged after several years of dealing with the pain, he was not receptive when a doctor at Mayo Clinic referred him to Mayo's Pain Rehabilitation Center. Read the rest of this entry »

Untangling a complex medical challenge
Amy Supergan has battled a host of difficult and painful disorders. Now she's found a way back to enjoying her life and her family.
In the summer of 2013, Amy Supergan took a trip to Italy. That may not sound extraordinary, but there was a time when being able to travel and enjoy a vacation with her family seemed like an impossible goal.
Amy faces a range of challenging medical problems, but at the top of that list is pain so debilitating she was forced to quit her career and give up an active lifestyle. But through the care she has received at Mayo Clinic and her participation in an innovative clinical research trial, Amy has found a renewed ability to manage her pain, and enjoy friends and family when she is able.
"Although I may never ski again or be back at work, with the help of all of my doctors at Mayo, I am now able to live independently with some assistance," she says. "I have found happiness in being more relaxed and appreciating some of the smaller things in life. I don't feel like I'm missing out on life as I did before." Read the rest of this entry »

#StrokeMonth: From Victim to Therapist
It's been almost three years since Sean Bretz collapsed. Unbeknownst to the then 23-year-old U.S. Coast Guardsman, a giant aneurysm had burst in his brain, causing a massive stroke.
"His prognosis was grim," neurosurgeon Rabih Tawk, M.D., recalls. "We used every technology available to help him."
Despite complications and issues, which required him to be induced into a medical coma, Bretz made an almost full recovery.
"I realize I was lucky and recovered pretty well. A lot of other people who have this type of stroke do not," says Bretz, who attributes his success to the large team at Mayo Clinic's Comprehensive Stroke Center.

Transitional Care Team Helps Sandy Dyson Get Back on the Dance Floor
By Mayo Clinic
If Proud Mary is playing, Sandy Dyson wants to be dancing. But last spring, it looked like Dyson's dancing days might be behind her. After knee replacement surgery, the 71-year-old Kennebec, S.D., resident was in so much pain that just walking seemed like punishment.
Thanks to a "wickedly good team" of rehabilitation specialists in the Mayo Transitional Care program at Mayo Clinic Health System in Waseca, however, she was back on the dance floor by winter.
The Transitional Care program provides a step between hospital and home for patients, who are supervised by physicians and receive daily care from nurses and therapists. A multidisciplinary team of providers sets up an individualized plan of care for each patient designed to get them back home as quickly as possible.
"Without their help I wouldn't be where I am today," says Dyson.
When she arrived in Waseca three days after having surgery at Mayo Clinic, Dyson was in "excruciating" pain.
She understood that the pain she was experiencing wasn't unusual immediately after knee replacement surgery, but Dyson was not happy about it. And not shy about letting people know it. But that didn't scare staff away. Dyson says someone checked on her every 30 minutes the first week she arrived, always meeting her tears and frustration with kindness and encouragement.

Mark Gilbertson 2.0 – Putting the Pieces Together Again
By Mayo Clinic
After a terrible accident left him barely alive and in need of major reconstruction, Mark Gilbertson found the right team at Mayo Clinic to help piece things back together again. He shares his story below.
My name is Mark Gilbertson, and here's my story.
I am originally from Brainerd, Minn. I joined the Air Force following high school and retired in 2009 after 22 years of active duty as an aircraft mechanic. I now work for the Boeing Company as an aircraft mechanic at an air base in Hungary. My family and I have lived there for nearly four years.
On Dec. 19, 2012, some workers at the airbase were opening a large hangar door using a steel cable attached to the front of a large truck. The cable was stretched across the road. The weather was rainy, and it was a little dark. As I approached in my car, I did not see the cable, and struck it at about 29 MPH. Read the rest of this entry »

Since a serious car accident in 1998, Chad Hanson has learned a lot about goals and adaptations. As a patient in Mayo Clinic's Spinal Cord Rehabilitation Unit, he remembers the first time he was able to use the joystick on his wheelchair -- his fingers pushing the lever but not strong enough to pull back, his therapists standing close by, catching him before he hit the wall.
"It was great!" he laughs. "I didn't have much control that first time, but I told them by the end of the weekend I would be able to take my hand on and off the joy stick. And I did."
Chad broke his neck in the accident. "He was initially paralyzed from the neck down and required a ventilator to help him breathe," explains his physician, Jeffrey Strommen, M. D. "Over time his breathing improved to the point that he was able to get off the ventilator and transfer to the rehabilitation unit. His prognosis for recovery of walking was less than 3 percent but we hoped that he would at least gain some arm function to allow him to be more independent." Read the rest of this entry »

Since a devastating football injury, Chris Norton has taken steady steps toward recovery through determination, faith and a strong support network. Now, he's reaching out to help others with spinal-cord injuries.
On a Saturday, Oct. 16, 2010, while making a tackle in a Luther College football game, Chris Norton's life changed dramatically. It was clear right away that his injury was serious. On the field, he told coaches and trainers he couldn't move, and he couldn't feel anything below his neck. Chris was transported to Winneshiek Medical Center in Decorah, Iowa, and from there, flown by helicopter to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
Physicians found that Chris had two broken vertebrae in his neck and compressed spinal cord. Initially, he had no movement from the neck down. But within 24 hours of the accident, there was a sign of hope. Chris was able to move his shoulder. That was below the injury site, and Chris and his family latched onto that sign.

Ironically, little Taylor Rose Beauseau experienced what will likely be the most severe injury of her life during her birth. While emerging through her mother's birth canal, her right shoulder became trapped, injuring the nerves that control her right arm.
In most cases of brachial plexus injury during birth, the nerves are stretched and infants develop use of their injured arm in a month or two. In Taylor's case, the nerves were severed and, even after several months, she couldn't move her right arm. "When she was six months old, she had surgery to repair the damage, but she still wasn't able to move her right arm," says Taylor's father, Jason Boso. The family was concerned that Taylor would never be able to use her right arm.
"As parents, we always want to make the best choices for our children," says Jason. "So on my birthday, I gave myself a special gift and called Mayo Clinic in Rochester to see if they would be willing to evaluate Taylor. We definitely needed a second opinion."

New Device Helps Man Who 'Forgets' to Breathe
His whole life, David Vannausdle, 32, of Granger, Iowa, has been tethered to some type of breathing device for at least some part of the day or night.
Without external assistance, his body "forgets" to breathe. He was born with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, also referred to as Ondine's curse. Essentially, the brain fails to signal the lungs to breathe.

Stop with the plan B. You are protected by the most effective birth control there is, you don't need a condom. l don't know why you girls use other birth control and plan b when you're taking the pill. Its 99% effective when taken correctly. The only time you would need a condom is if you were put on an antibiotic, or you've missed the pill for 2 or more days. Plan B will mess up you're cycle on its own and you mixed it with other hormonal birth control. Keep taking your pill and it will straighten out. What do you think you're taking birth control pills for?
The ONLY reason for condoms when you are taking the Pill is for STD protection unless you just started the pill in the past week and are using it as back up until your Pill kicks in or you missed pills and need back up or if you are on antibiotics. Other than that, you dont need condoms, your oral contraceptive covers you and protects you from pregnancy all on its own. It is much more effective and powerful than Plan b!! This is one reason I dont think Plan b ought to be OTC. Girls do not read the instructions and have no idea how to use it properly! At least if you had to ask the pharmacist for it, you might get some instructions if the pharmacist was doing his job correctly. When you are on regular birth control pills and you take them correctly, you DO NOT OVULATE and if you dont ovulate, you cannot get pregnant no matter how many millions of sperm that you are exposed to!
I am supposed to have my period today and I have slight cramps and back pain like my period is here but no bleeding . Did taking the plan b twice make my period late ? Or am I pregnant
I need help I haven't had my period and I was supposed to have it today 09/9/13
I am supposed to have my period today and I have some pains that feel like it could be my period but I am not bleeding I did take 2 plan b pills could this be why I haven't got my period

Oro Valley Vacation Condo
About the Owner
We love our little getaway! My wife, Claire, and I purchased the condo one month after we got married. Fast-forward 4 years down the road and with an expanding family we moved to a more accommodating home. We literally left the condo exactly as we had it, all the furniture and the whole set up are quaility pieces that sometimes leave us wishing we could step back in time to the simpler days. I am sure you will find the condo as comforting and relaxing as we did for the four years we stayed there.

The Korean composer Isang Yun (Yun Yi Sang) was born in 1917, the son of the
distinguished Korean poet Yun Ki Hyon. He showed an early interest in music,
and studied at Osaka Conservatory with the Japanese composer Tomojirō Ikenouchi,
himself the son of a leading Japanese poet and trained in French musical traditions.
Isang Yun's participation in secret anti-Japanese activities in the war led
to his imprisonment in 1943 and to a subsequent period in hiding. After the
war he was able to play a part in the revival of Korean culture, teaching in
Chung Mu, Pusan and Seoul. An award from the last city allowed him to travel
to Paris, where he studied from 1956 to 1957 with Pierre Revel, and thereafter
for a year at the Berlin Musikhochschule with Boris Blacher, Josef Rufer and
Reinhard Schwarz-Schilling. The meetings at Darmstadt provided a formative influence,
and there were performances of his works there, and in Cologne, Hamburg and
Berlin. By 1964 he was again in Berlin, on the invitation of the Ford Foundation,
and in 1966 his orchestral composition Rak (Ritual Music) was given
its premire at Donaueschingen, an occasion that secured Yun's international
reputation. His abduction to Seoul by agents of the South Korean rgime of Chung
Hee Park in 1967 led to international protest at his imprisonment and he was
eventually, in 1969, granted an amnesty and allowed to return to Germany as
a political refugee. He taught at the Hanover Musikhochschule and from 1970
at the parallel
Isang Yun did much to encourage contemporary music in North
and South Korea, and his students included members of the younger generation of
Korean composers, who worked with him in Hanover and in Berlin. His aim as a
composer was to provide a synthesis of East and West, developing essentially Korean
ideas through Western instruments and avant-garde techniques. From the 1960s he
began to refine a system of composition that he derived from oriental
heterophony, a procedure that leads to monophony, and, in the music of Isang
Yun, to what he described as 'Haupttne', an essentially linear approach, as he
pointed out. He explains how traditionally every tone starts with a grace note
and when it is established it gradually takes on vibrato, leading to an
explosion of sound, a final ornament and a continuation on another level. At
the same time his work was influenced by his political ideals and desire for
Korean unification, by elements of Korean and Chinese culture and Taoist philosophy.
His many compositions include four operas, the first two based on the work of
the twelfth century Yuan dynasty poet and playwright Ma Chi Yuan.

Working With Buyers
For most home buyers, the purchase of real estate is one of the largest financial transactions they will make. Buyers purchase a home not only for the desire to own a home of their own, but also because of changes in jobs, family situations, and the need for a smaller or larger living area. NAR provides insight on working with buyers throughout this important transaction.
With flourishing economies, could these quickly growing cities soon become the nation's hottest housing markets, too?
Consumers say they're more committed to buying or selling in 2014, despite two events in 2013 that shook their confidence, according to Prudential Real Estate.
Topics: Working with Buyers, Working with Sellers
With a difficult winter pounding away at much of the country, helping your customer base prevent infestations could lead to fond memories come selling time.
Topics: Working with Buyers, Working with Sellers
The percentage of young adults ages 18 to 34 living with parents or parents-in-law has risen sharply since the late 2000s. Their delay in forming households of their own is suppressing housing demand, a study finds.
"Consumers are back, pent-up demand is emerging, there is a growing need for new construction, distressed sales are diminishing, and builders see it," said the National Association of Home Builders' chief economist during the International Builder Show this week.

Hart High's award-winning marching band and color guard, Hart Regiment, will host its 27th Annual Hart Rampage Marching Band Field Show Tournament on Saturday, October 23, at College of the Canyons.
32 high school bands from across the state — including all six William S. Hart District high schools — are confirmed to participate in the day-long event, which will be held at Cougar Stadium, located at 26455 Rockwell Canyon Road in Valencia.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking news delivered right to your inbox
Rampage is one of the oldest and most prestigious marching band competitions in California. In addition to local high schools — Valencia, West Ranch, Golden Valley, Saugus, Canyon, and Hart — Rampage will feature schools from throughout the southern half of California.
"Every year, Rampage gets bigger and the competition gets tougher," says Anthony Bailey, band director at Hart, who has been involved with 11 Rampage competitions. "We're thrilled that it has grown to become one of the most important marching band competitions in the state."
"If you're looking for something to do for the day, marching band competitions are fun for the entire family," according to Paul Cardey, Chairman of Rampage 2010, adding that the tournament is entirely run by Hart Music Boosters parent volunteers. "It's a great way to spend a Saturday. You can come to all or part of it and enjoy great music and performances."
Rampage tickets will be available on the day of the competition. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and students, and free for children under 5. For more information, contact Paul Cardey at (818) 266-4120 or visit www.hartregiment.com.
Rampage will include its signature feature – the largest mass drum-line in Southern California featuring drummers from all the day's performing bands followed by the awards ceremony.
In 2009, Hart Regiment was named state champion in its division by the Southern California School Band & Orchestra Assn. (SCSBOA) for the eighth consecutive year — an accomplishment that remains unmatched by any other group.

Thanks to Cat Daddy Jackson Galaxy for recording a public service announcement for our cats and kittens! AC&C takes in more than 18,000 cats each year, and you can help us find them homes: please adopt or foster! "The cats of New York depend on you."
AC&C's New York's Kindest Campaign
Animal Care & Control of NYC (AC&C) is celebrating New York's Kindest with a public awareness campaign!
The campaign, which debuted in 2013, encourages New Yorkers to help animals at AC&C by adopting, volunteering, and donating - by becoming New York's Kindest. The ads, featuring AC&C adopters, volunteers, and donors with the cats and dogs they love, have appeared on subway platforms, in subway cars, on telephone kiosks, in local publications and online. You may have heard a New York's Kindest PSA on various radio stations. One of the ads also appeared on a billboard near Citi Field, courtesy of Clear Channel Outdoor.
As the only organization in New York City whose doors are open to any animal in need, AC&C rescues thousands of New York's homeless, neglected, abused and abandoned animals each year. The nonprofit's goal is to place every dog, cat and bunny in a new, loving home. But, as the new campaign underscores, the public's involvement is key to its success.
The campaign is a collaboration between AC&C and New Leash Productions, a collective of marketing and design professionals (several of whom are also AC&C adopters) who donated their services for the project: Nicki Gondell, project management/copywriting, Jenny Pfister, creative director, Colleen Farrell, PR and communications, Val Brown, brand strategy, Kyla Lange, brand strategy, Paul Ahern, brand strategy and Sallie Green/Signal Theory, media planning and buying. Generator Media + Analytics (link to GeneratorMedia.com), a NYC-based agency enabling AC&C and others to maximize their media ad budgets so they can achieve more, played an indispensable (and pro bono) role in the second round of the campaign. The campaign was shot by photographer Donna Svennevik, who also donated her time and talent. We thank them all for their hard work and dedication!
AC&C's most recent commercial features a few of New York's Kindest and the animals they love. New Yorkers could catch it on NY1, the Discovery Channel, A&E, the History Channel, and Animal Planet. The 30-second spot is also being shown in many local movie theatres.

It's the end of the road for the American version of The X Factor.

They could barely get through their performance of "Say Something" on Thursday after learning that they'd won the third season of The X Factor.
And no wonder, given the churn of emotions Alex & Sierra were feeling.
"I was like, 'Man, this is going to be okay.' But then the song started and all those blue lights in the audience, and I don't know. It just really got me," Alex Kinsey told PEOPLE after the show. "It was really, really overwhelming. Then when everyone ran out, I lost it."
His partner and girlfriend, Sierra Deaton, was the strong one – until she, too, got overwhelmed.

The X Factor ended its season on a star-studded note on Thursday that saw amazing vocals, emotions running high and tears of joy.

Kelly Rowland's engagement ring might be big, but the X Factor judge tells PEOPLE that her wedding will be just the opposite.
The former Destiny's Child singer, 32, who got engaged to her boyfriend and manager, Tim Weatherspoon, over Skype, says that while she hasn't set a date yet, she knows just what kind of ceremony she wants to have.
"I think we just really want it to be us and our pastor. That's it," she says. "I mean, we are the only two that's going to be in the marriage."

Demi Lovato is leaving The X Factor, a source close to the singer tells PEOPLE.
The reason? "She plans to spend next year completely focused on her music," says the source.
"She had a great run and a good time," says the source. But the show's demanding schedule conflicts with the singer's plans for 2014.
Lovato, 21, who has served as a judge for two seasons, is about to headline her first arena tour, which kicks off Feb. 9 in Vancouver and will also feature X Factor alums Cher Lloyd, Little Mix and Fifth Harmony.

Somebody had to go home on Thursday's The X Factor results show, but it most certainly wasn't going to be Alex & Sierra.
America voted to send the pair – who wowed the judges Wednesday night with their flawless rendition of Sara Bareilles' "Gravity" – through to next week's finale.
"We just want to thank everybody that's voted. This is incredible," a humble Alex said upon hearing the news, while the group's mentor, Simon Cowell, gushed about the talented singers.
"I think they've been incredible to work with," he said. "They've gotten better every single week and the finale would not be the same without them."

Exploring Booktype: A complete e-book publishing environment
Publish Like a Pro
Get started with Booktype, a complete cloud-based e-book authoring and publishing environment that features a plethora of editing and collaboration tools.
When a complex e-book project involves several contributors and multiple formats, you'd need something more powerful and flexible than a standalone desktop e-book authoring application. Enter Booktype [1], a cloud-based open source e-book authoring platform that provides a comprehensive set of editing and collaboration tools.
Booktype is designed to encompass the entire e-book publishing process: from writing and versioning content to generating ready-to-publish files in all major e-book and print formats. In addition to that, Booktype features collaboration functionality that allows anyone involved in the project to work on the book and communicate with other users in the process. In short, Booktype makes an ideal platform for managing an e-book project from start to finish.
Like many open source cloud-based applications, Booktype is available as a hosted service called Booktype Pro [2] and a software distribution that you can deploy on your own server. Although Booktype's manual provides relatively detailed instructions on installing the software on Linux [3], deploying Booktype for production use requires some technical chops. Add to this the time and effort you need to put into running and maintaining a self-hosted Booktype instance, and you might appreciate the appeal of the Booktype Pro service.

HANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Repair crews worked into Tuesday removing two derailed cars and a locomotive and to repair damaged railroad tracks after an Amtrak train carrying about 169 passengers derailed in a collision with a big rig truck in California's Central Valley.
At least 20 injured in California train crash
At least 20 passengers suffered minor to moderate injuries, authorities said.
The Monday afternoon crash occurred when the driver of the tractor-trailer carrying cotton trash failed to yield and hit the train, authorities said. The impact pushed the two passenger cars and the locomotive off the tracks south of Hanford, a farming town.
Passenger Edmund Sanders, who said he was riding the train because he had missed a Greyhound bus from Fresno to his home in Los Angeles, was in one of the middle cars when it collided with the truck.
"Right after it happened I see all these people with a terrified look on their faces, all trying to get to the front of the train," Sanders told the Fresno Bee.
"I tried as best I could to try and calm people down and help them get off that train. I really think that God has his hands on that train today," he said.
The train traveled about 600 feet after the collision before hitting a switchback and derailing, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Scott Harris.
Officials have not determined how fast the train or the truck were going, but the average speed for Amtrak through the area is 70 to 80 mph, while the speed limit on the roadway where the truck was traveling is 55 mph, Harris said.
After the crash, metal pieces from the truck could be seen inside the train, which was covered by cotton seeds. Several pieces of luggage were also scattered around the area.
Kings County Assistant Sheriff Dave Putnam described the injuries to passengers as bumps, bruises, scrapes and possibly broken bones.
The crash occurred at a crossing that was equipped with gates to stop traffic, Putnam said.
Eight of the injured passengers were taken to Adventist Medical Center in Hanford and five more were expected, said hospital spokeswoman Christine Pickering. She did not provide details on the extent of their injuries.

As BlackBox goes global, we go hands-on with its C18 earphones
The BlackBox M10 circum-aural headphones with Active Noise Rejection technology
The BlackBox i10 in-ear phones, similar to those on test but sporting a 30-pin Apple connector instead of a 3.5mm jack
The C18 box promising 92 percent noise reduction
The contents, including spare buds, a 6.5mm jack adapter and an airline-friendly, single-to-double 3.5mm adapter
The C18s also come supplied with an AAA-type battery to power the in-line controller's Active Noise Rejection circuitry
The microphone is positioned close to the ear so that the noise rejection is as high as possible
The bud-type ear pieces are quite comfortable and the inclusion of a lanyard ensures that the weight of the in-line controller doesn't pull them out
The ANR circuitry housed within the in-line controller is powered by an included AAA-sized battery, that's said to give a good 50 hours of use before requiring replacement
The C18s shown with lanyard
The C18's in-line controller has a power on/battery status indicator to the top and a power on slider and a volume control to the side
The combination of passive and active noise cancellation does result in much of the ambient background noise being lost behind the music
Article Summary
Armour Home recently announced that it has been appointed worldwide distributor of Phitek System's BlackBox range of Active Noise Rejection (ANR) headphones and earphones. Phitek says that the level of ambient background noise can reach 60dB in a busy street, 80dB in the office and up to 94dB in the cabin of a passenger jet. The company claims that its technology is capable of reducing ambient noise levels by 90 percent or more, and I've been sent some C18 in-ear phones for review.

Boy's family has a billet from the team (and he won the top defenceman award, wahoo!). The meal was awesome and the award presentations were short and sweet. I was really impressed with the conference centre staff, they had a separate vegetarian meal made for me - some sort of curry stir fry and it was delicious.
The dessert was a tiramisu and it was insanely good. Boy and I were trying to scheme ways to get our hands on more dessert. Unfortunately, the kid sitting next to Ryan wasn't fooled when we tried to take it when his head was turned, and apparently it's uncool to consider taking the extra dessert from the table next to us, even though no one looked like they were eating it. Acting like a grown up is so hard sometimes.
Yesterday Boy and I got back on track and went for a 4 mile run together. We don't usually run together since he's fast and I am really not - but I am such a treat to hang out with that he slows down and runs with me from time to time :) I think yesterday he was just secretly jealous of my awesome pink headlamp! My sis gave it to me for Christmas and I'm kind of obsessed. This is the first time I've used if for anything other than tormenting the dog and wearing it around the house...
I've never used a headlamp running before and I'm pretty sure it was the best thing ever. They have Energizer Night Races in cooler places in Canada (I don't know WHY they can't just come to Cape Breton, we're all about the headlamps yo) where the race is run at night in the dark and everyone gets a headlamp. I'm going to circulate a petition to Energizer to make them come here, mostly so I can rock my sweet pink headlamp.
Have you ever run a night race?
What's the coolest/ weirdest race you've ever done?
If you could do any adventure or themed race in the world, what would it be?
- I'd love to do one of the womens races or the army half. I also want to do the Tough Mudder!

SSCA board blacklisted!
When I try to access the Seven Seas Cruising Association's discussion forums, I get a notice that says they have been blacklisted/blocked for distributing virus and trojan malware. Anyone else getting this kind of message?
Yes I am getting the same! WTF ??
We had a malware attack last week (which we hopefully defeated). Maybe they got hit by the same one?

The movie slows down a lot after that and I found myself fastforward viewing through the slowest moments. A lot of elements are introduced to the story that have little bearing on the plot. And the song, what in the world does the song Jeepers Creepers have to do with the movie? Nothing as far as I could tell.
The Creeper itself may not have been that impressive of a monster. However, I found it nice for once to have a horror movie where the horror was a real monster. Unfortunately, this monster is indestructible. That makes the film rather disappointing. What's the point in fighting a battle (or watching a movie) where nothing, absolutely nothing, can be gained? I mean, come on, even Superman has kryptonite and demons can be exorcised; every creature has to have some weakness. But apparently, the Creeper doesn't. That's a shame because it would have made the showdown in the police station all that more interesting.

There's a shortage of emergency services volunteers in towns and villages throughout the North Country.. In Lake Placid, this issue became evident over the weekend as Mayor Craig Randal moved one of the Ambulances from it's regular home at the ambulance garage to the fire station.. The effort was in response to the lack of available EMT technicians and other qualified volunteers at the Lake Placid Ambulance Service..
AUDIO – 081314 – Staffing Volunteer Ambulance Services
At Tuesday's meeting of the Town of North Elba Board, Councilman Jack Favro provided some background for the media. "Over the weekend, from 6pm to 6am, a message went out looking for people to cover for the ambulance,' He said, "They needed a paramedic, a driver, and then hopefully a backup crew." In the end, they were able to find coverage and the Village of Lake Placid was able to provide coverage by placing an ambulance at the fire station. Basically what's happening in the Town of North Elba is that the Ambulance Service is having trouble finding staff, whether volunteers or paid drivers to cover over the weekend.. They're also struggling with finding a crew to provide backup at the building while the first crew is out on a call..
North Elba Supervisor Robi Politi says this drop in volunteerism is a concern, especially during a weekend with Summit Lacrosse in the community.. "It's our second largest event each summer. We had over 12,000 people in the community in addition to people that live here, and when you have those kinds of numbers, it's a good thing to have an ambulance available. It's a better thing to have two ambulances. Unfortunately," Politi said, "We had neither."
Following their meeting, we asked Supervisor Politi to expand on the issue, He says it's not just the ambulance services in this region dealing with this issue. The requirement for certification and training in the state is affecting fire departments, and he added that they have an immense problem, because they're all losing volunteers as a result of the certification requirements.
The training alone, Politi added is upwards of 50 hours a year if not more in some cases.. and much of that is three hours at a time each week in Albany, or Syracuse.. which creates real problems for residents of the North Country.. The town of North Elba, as with the village of Lake Placid is already making a contribution to the Lake Placid Volunteer Ambulance Service.. and even with these stipends, it's difficult to find Certified Drivers, EMT and paramedics to fully staff the facility and provide an appropriate level of coverage.. Councilman Favro says to cover 12 hours of service, from 6am to 6pm.. you're looking at a $130,000 per year expense for the paramedics and a part time driver. Around the Clock service, without the drivers brings the total even higher.. but the real issue isn't the cost in this case, it's finding the right people and then people who are willing to make the commitment to get the certification which again Favro says is two or three nights a week for 6 to 8 months.. with travel included.. Ultimately, the state's attempt to make certification better, has made it worse, and staffing emergency ambulance services and fire companies in villages and towns across the North Country is becoming more and more problematic as the overall number of volunteers continues to drop as a result….

(This documentary is in French and features English subtitles)
Eleven men and women born between the wars. Seemingly they have nothing in common except their homosexuality and growing up in a less open, more intolerant society. Now in their 60s and 70s, they tell their personal stories, either shared or alone. These lives are often revealing and pioneering as they recall their personal experiences.
Sébastien Lifshitz, director of PRESQUE RIEN and WILD SIDE, offers us intimate portraits of gay and lesbian life from an older generation who often remain ignored and unheard in a youth-obsessed society.
Winner of the César Award for Best Documentary, and nominated for the BFI London Film Festival Grierson Award, LES INVISIBLES is an affectionate but frank account that is in turn touching and amusing, reflecting our own concerns about growing old.
