Customizing Your Treatment
After about 3 months on a DMARD, your doctor will take stock of how you're doing, based on how you're feeling, blood tests, X-rays, and other factors.
If your DMARD is working well, great. If it's not, you have a lot of options. You may switch to another medication. Or your doctor might add a second DMARD, like a biologic. "Different DMARDs have different ways of turning down the immune response," Bingham says. Sometimes combining them works best.
What other factors could affect your medication choices?
- Your symptoms. Some drugs work better with specific symptoms. For example, some RA medicines can make you more tired, but some biologic DMARDs can help relieve fatigue, Bingham says.
- Other health conditions. Some drugs might not be a good fit if you have other health problems. For instance, some biologic DMARDs may not be safe if you have heart disease or MS. If you drink a lot of alcohol, methotrexate is not safe.
- Your insurance. "In a lot of cases, what the insurance company pays for is the single most important factor in determining what drug you get," Bingham says.
What About Side Effects?
DMARDs do have side effects. Some of them -- like a risk of lymphoma and some other cancers -- can be scary. But experts say that people with RA sometimes worry too much about very unlikely side effects. And they don't worry enough about the serious damage that can happen if RA isn't treated.
"We do use strong medications for RA, but that's because it's a severe disease," Bingham says. "We have to treat it aggressively." Closely watching for any side effects can prevent problems, he says. Bingham also stresses that RA itself raises the risk of some cancers.
If you're concerned about the risks of side effects, talk them over with your doctor.
Sticking With Treatment
It's important to know that you may not see big changes from your RA treatment right away.
"People are sometimes disappointed when they don't get all the answers in that first meeting with me," Husni says. "But treating rheumatoid arthritis is a process. It takes time to come up with the best treatment plan."
Your treatment might also change over time. You may have flares sometimes and have to take painkillers or steroids for a while. For reasons that aren't fully clear, a DMARD that worked for years might also stop. If that happens, don't worry. There are plenty of other drugs that can help.
"Lots of people with RA are thriving these days," Husni says. "Obviously, no one wants to get it. But if you do get diagnosed, there's never been a better time to have it."

Chargers tackling options at tackle
Green said his confidence is growing and he is benefiting from working against top competition.
"It's trial by fire," he said.
The Chargers find themselves experimenting this way due to the continued contract stalemate with McNeill, who does not want to risk injury by playing without a long-term contract. McNeill and receiver Vincent Jackson have not signed their one-year restricted free agent tenders and are expected to stay away from the Chargers perhaps through the season.
There has been acknowledgment all over Chargers Park that McNeill would be their first choice and even some quiet trepidation building that
But players, coaches and general manager A.J. Smith have have expressed their confidence in whoever it is that replaces McNeill.
While acknowledging there could be changes to the starting lineup, Turner also said the machinations on the line are an attempt to solidify depth in the event of a rash of injuries like the one that beset the line last season.
"One reason we're doing this is the experience we had last year and having guys having to go play at different spots at the drop of the hat," Turner said. "If that happens at some time in this season, I don't think we'll skip a beat."

current recovery from recession compared with previous recoveries.
Her speech Monday was not a spectacular departure from what she has said in the past. Nor did she break any new ground for those of us who have been following the progress of the economy since the Great Recession plunged us into post 1930s record-breaking territory on a number of fronts. Key among those has been how long it's taking for the unemployment rates (both narrowly and broadly determined) to return to anything that isn't ripping the skin off (and the guts out of) tens of millions of American workers.
But while the speech doesn't say anything particularly new, it's still good to hear from an official source, so join me below the fold and see what she had to say.
In trying to account for why this recovery has been so weak, it is helpful to first consider several important factors that have in the past supported most economic recoveries. By this I don't mean everything that contributes to economic growth, but rather those things that typically play a key role when the U.S. economy is recovering from recession. Think of these as the tailwinds that usually promote a recovery.
The first tailwind I'll mention is fiscal policy. History shows that fiscal policy often helps to support an economic recovery. Some of this fiscal stimulus is automatic, and intended to be. The income loss that individuals and businesses suffer in a recession is partly offset when their tax bills fall as well. Government spending on unemployment benefits and other safety-net programs rises in recessions, helping individuals hurt by the downturn and also supporting consumer spending and the broader economy by replacing lost income. These automatic declines in tax collections and increases in government spending are often supplemented with discretionary fiscal action--tax rate cuts, spending on infrastructure and other goods and services, and extended unemployment benefits. These discretionary fiscal policy actions are typically a plus for growth in the years just after a recession. For example, following the severe 1981-82 recession, discretionary fiscal policy contributed an average of about 1 percentage point per year to real GDP growth over the subsequent three years.
However, discretionary fiscal policy hasn't been much of a tailwind during this recovery. In the year following the end of the recession, discretionary fiscal policy at the federal, state, and local levels boosted growth at roughly the same pace as in past recoveries, as [the chart above] indicates. But instead of contributing to growth thereafter, discretionary fiscal policy this time has actually acted to restrain the recovery. State and local governments were cutting spending and, in some cases, raising taxes for much of this period to deal with revenue shortfalls. At the federal level, policymakers have reduced purchases of goods and services, allowed stimulus-related spending to decline, and have put in place further policy actions to reduce deficits. [...]
These are not just statistics to me. We know that long-term unemployment is devastating to workers and their families. Longer spells of unemployment raise the risk of homelessness and have been a factor contributing to the foreclosure crisis. When you're unemployed for six months or a year, it is hard to qualify for a lease, so even the option of relocating to find a job is often off the table. The toll is simply terrible on the mental and physical health of workers, on their marriages, and on their children.
So, while the stimulus certainly ameliorated the damage caused by the recession, it wasn't strong enough to kick-start the economy into a real recovery. Given how dreadfully slow progress on the job front has been, there is every possibility that well before it returns to something near the level of health it was at 63 months ago, we will have fallen once again into recession.
Yellen expresses a bit of optimism for faster improvement come 2014 and later. But what's missing in her speech is something spurring faster improvement now and for not falling into this same trap again in the future. Not that the Fed can provide the whole answer. Unlike the cheap money it has been providing banks, a subsidy by another name, it doesn't have the authority to cut checks for average Americans that would boost demand.
Meanwhile, millions of individuals and families continue to suffer from both the acute problems engendered by the Great Recession and from the chronic problems that predate it and were exacerbated by it. All the while, austerity, both the Republican brand and the less onerous but still wrong-headed Democratic brand, remain the main line of attack by Beltway BSers—pundits, politicians and lobbying pitchmen alike.

Hugin and Munin are Odin's ravens. Their names mean Thought and Memory, and they mostly live on Odin's shoulders, whispering in his ears what he needs to know.
Now you can have your own animated Hugin and Munin to help you think and remember like a god or a druid. Huginn can store one thought at a time, Muninn one memory.
The ravens nibble on the magical fly agaric mushroom to improve their cognition and memory. This might explain why they often mishear what you ask them to remember (often to hilarious effect). A folk name for the fly agaric is "raven's bread".

US, Iran find common ground: Olympic wrestling
TEHRAN, Iran The caretakers of the Olympics may have inadvertently accomplished what has eluded diplomats: Galvanizing Iran and the U.S. on a common goal.
Wrestling officials from the arch foes appeared to be in bonding mode Tuesday on the sidelines of a Tehran tournament less than a week after the stunning decision by the International Olympic Committee that will force the ancient sport - as old as the Olympics themselves - to lobby for a spot at the 2020 Games.
Already, the fight to keep wrestling in the Olympics has brought the U.S. and Cuban federations into a possible alliance. But close cooperation between Iran and America would be an even more remarkable display of common cause with almost everything else driving them apart - led by an impasse over Tehran's nuclear program and Western sanctions that have upended the Iranian economy.
It's unlikely that any kind of wrestling detente would spill over into the wider issues, but it's certain to at least draw attention to the power of sports as a low-risk icebreaker going back to the historic 1971 "pingpong diplomacy" between China and the U.S.
U.S. freestyle coach Zeke Jones, speaking to The Associated Press by phone from Tehran, said that officials from 10 of the world's top wrestling nations will meet Wednesday in Iran. Delegations from Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bulgaria, Georgia, Iran, Japan, Kazakhstan, the United States, Russia and Turkey will gather to discuss how to reverse the IOC's decision.
Jones said that those countries were chosen because they finished in the top 10 in the freestyle competition at the 2011 world championships, the last time team scores were held at a major international meet.
"We'll be standing arm-in-arm with Iran, and we'll be standing with Russia as we will with lots of other countries," said Mitch Hull, national teams director for USA Wrestling, in an interview in Tehran with AP Television News before the World Cup Tournament.
"Those (countries) really do make a difference because politically we're not always on the same page, or politically with Russia, but in wrestling, there's no doubt that we are all together in this effort and we consider Iran one of our strongest allies in the sport of wrestling," Hull said.
Hull described them as "sport rivals, but they are friends in sport, too."
"We have great confidence that we can work with the Iranian wrestling federation, Iranian wrestlers and the Iranian people to show the world that, no matter what's happening politically, we have the same goal and the same belief and passion about the sport of wrestling," he said.
Jones said that the World Cup, which ranks below only the world championships in annual importance, has come at a "perfect time," given the IOC's recent move.
Though Jones acknowledged that relations between international wrestling teams like the U.S. and Iran can be difficult, he said such competitions usually foster the kind of camaraderie and friendship the sport desperately needs.
"You'll have absolutely zero problem with the countries being unified on saving wrestling," Jones said. "The countries will do anything in working together to keep Olympic wrestling in the program."

Avoiding common certification failures
Review this list to help avoid issues that frequently prevent apps from getting certified, or that might be identified during a spot check after the app is published.
Submit your app only when it's finished. You're welcome to use your app's description to mention upcoming features, but make sure that your app doesn't contain incomplete sections, links to web pages that are under construction, or anything else that would give a customer the impression that your app is incomplete. Otherwise, it's likely to fail certification.
Test your app with the Windows App Certification Kit before you submit your app.
Test your app on several different platforms to ensure that it's as stable as possible.
- Make sure that your app doesn't crash without network connectivity. Even if a connection is required to actually use your app, it needs to perform appropriately when no connection is present.
Make sure that your app's description clearly represents what your app does. For help, see our guidance on writing a great app description.
Be sure to give your app an appropriate age rating. Most apps should have a rating of 12+, unless they are specifically intended for a younger audience. If you're having trouble deciding between two age ratings for your app, choose the higher one. Also remember that certain markets may require you to submit an age rating certificate from a rating board.
If you have localized your app, be consistent with localization and make sure your screen shots demonstrate that you've localized your app. (Keep in mind that languages are not the same as markets.) See globalizing your app for more help.
If your app uses the Windows Store commerce APIs from the Windows.ApplicationModel.Store namespace, make sure to test the app and verify that it handles typical exceptions. Also, make sure that your app uses the CurrentApp class (not the CurrentAppSimulator class, which is for testing purposes only).
Don't declare your app as accessible unless you have specifically engineered and tested it for accessibility scenarios.
- Make sure that you provide any necessary info required to use your app, such as the user name and password for a test account if your app requires users to log in to a service, or any steps required to access hidden or locked features.

serve: snapping the elbow vs. snapping the wrist
a friend who has a hugemungus serve was giving me some tips yesterday. i had always thought about snapping my wrist on the serve. he said this was wrong and that your wrist should be loose. Instead you should do the snapping with your elbow. i haven't tried it yet since i'm out with and injury right now. what do you guys think about this? bungalo?

It would coincide with article that told me the greatest contributing muscle is the triceps. When I think back, some of my biggest serves felt like I did what he described.

I have a friend who works for a robotics company (packaging automation) and they built this robot that can through baseballs (the CEO is an ex-pitcher) for use at tradeshows.
They had a hard time getting the ball to go faster than 80 mph until the CEO told them that all the speed comes from the last few inches of the throw--the wrist snap. They made adjustments and the robot through 140 mph.
Interesting debate, but I wouldn't discount the role of the wrist snap.

Snapping your elbow is an interesting concept, but I think a more
effective technique to generate pace on your serve and create
better angles into the court is to actually snap your racquet head
at contact so that it is pointing down. When you do this you get
excellent forearm/wrist pronation without thinking about it. Just
before contact your racquet and arm will form a straight line and
as you make contact with the racquet tip moving forward and down you elbow will pop up . What most people do is not snap
the racquet head forward ahead of their arm but actually follow-through with the racquet and arm together in a straight line with
no forward and downward snap of the racquet tip. A touring pro who
use to work out at Saddlebrook often hit warmup serves with
this racquet snap without any follow-through-he would just snap
the racquet and hold his position after contact with the tip downwards. He said its very important to raise your contact point
with a higher toss and feel like you are snapping the ball downwards-this will give you big time power if done correctly!

How in the world do you "snap" your elbow? When you snap the wrist-i.e. pronate-that starts the elbow and the entire upper arm moving in concert, in the same direction as the wrist. I'm not an expert on physiology, but I doubt that it's even possible to "snap" the elbow without snaping the wrist-the wrist leads.

I snap my shoulder ....Seriously, it's probably not recommended, but my elbow and wrist feel loose and the motion comes from the shoulder - kind of like throwing an American football.

The legs, hips, stomach and lower back muscles provide the foundation for the serve, well for all the strokes for that matter. Their actual contribution to racquet head speed is quite negligible. I call these the base support accelerators.
The real generation of racquet head speed starts when the upper body starts to uncoil. The shoulder rotation, the pectoral muscles, the tricep, the muscles in the forearm including the wrist snap all contribute. Note that when you pronate you are actually turning your forearm to square up the racquet face don't confuse this with laying the wrist back and the wrist snap. They may occur at the same time but are actually moving the racquet two different directions. What happens is as the serve or stroke progresses each muscle group is making it's own contribution to the racquet head speed. The wrist snap is the last addition to the speed of the racquet but this does not mean it makes the greatest contribution. A good test is to hold your serving hand stable over your head with your other hand. Now try to throw your racquet just using your wrist. It won't go very far will it. Now hold your arm up, keep the wrist firm but load the tricep, yup back in the old backscratch position, now pop it, the racquet will take off. The tricep is the major accelerator if you load all of the muscles properly and you have correct mechanics on your serve.
You got to love the game.

Lendl lives,
Some advances players are going to disagree with me on this one I can feel it.
I have a big serve and I dont snap! I dont consciously do anything except for maintaining a rythymic motion and hit the ball right on the sweetspot of the strings!
I have never purposely forced my wrist to snap. Snapping is a terrible word. It really sounds painful. I prefer to say bending.
My arm is very very loose at the elbow as much as it can be throughout the entire service motion. This believe it or not takes training!!! The brain is used to contracting muscles for a hit. You have to train it in the opposite fashoin. AS long as your toss is in the right location it is not too high were it drops to fast (I prefer meeting it at its peak), you will have all the time in the world to hit that sucker hard.
The terms whip, snap, etc. are analogys for having a loose arm all the way up to the wrist. That is all it is. Pronation happens naturally, the wrist bend happens naturally, etc. etc.
In fact, I shake my arm several times before serving to loosen it up.
IF you look at the way your arm works. You will see that the elbow will eventually extend to its fullest, this transfers momentum to the wirst area till it cant bend down anymore from the weight of the racquet. I use a heavier racquet just because my loose arm will fling or "snap" the racquet head into the ball. It is like a whip. My shoulder is the handle, my arm is the rope, and my wrist is the tail. Use whatever you need to visualize a relaxed arm. That is a huge thing to have a big booming serve.
I also know plenty of players that have purposely torqued the wrist in effrots to snap it down and have developed tendenitis in their wrist.
The human body is made beautifully just let it work!

I mostly agree with Bill. But there are going to be disagreements on that issue, even some pros like Andy Roddick says that they use wrist on spin serves.
Elbow snapping or elbow "hook" as tennisone.com did the article on a while ago, SHOULD happen naturally, if it is meant to happen at all. Sampras has noticable elbow hook. What ever happens on the followthrough of the serve should be the result of good technique;
1)Loose arm,wrist,grip.
2)Hip stretch.
3)good knee bend (not too deep)
4)Going up for the ball.
If you do all these correctly, you are likely to have some elbow hook. IMO, the degree can differ depending on how much whip you are able to put on.
I have tried so many different things on serve, snaping wrist, intentional pronation, elbow hook. Right now, I am serving the best I have ever have.
And the only thing I ever pay attention to is loose arm and keeping my eye on the ball.

Just like In golf, everyone has a swing key. It is a thought or two that we all use to make sure the rest of the motion stay in sync. Some may focus on the wrist being loose, or the elbow etc. The problem with adapting someone elses swing keys is that it may be a false visualization that they apply to achieve something they are unaware of. Most of us had realized this when we saw are selves on tape for the first time. This is the reason why I tell so many people to let the video be the judge of what you should do. My personal belief is that swing keys should be a means of maintaining what you have created in reality when you can no longer use the instant feedback of a mirror or an instant replay as guidance. However, it is also necessary for the building or experimental phase of your strokes. With that said, many people obviously use different means of creating speed. Amer Delic and Sampras use a gradual building up of speed. Roddick and Rafter use a more explosive method to generate speed. Both are acceptable, but one category's swing key may not work for the other category for many obvious reasons. Few people have ideal serves, and even many pros could do better. When I review a recent video I want to see flaws, because if I don't I will be stumped on what to do next. Never In my life have I seen a player with a model serve struggle to serve over 120 mph on regular basis. If people familiarize themselves with the common traits of a big serve, along with the work ethic to implement them, I believe most people will be astonished with their results. An example of what I do when I practice the serve.
1. I bring approximately 10-20 balls. I doesn't matter if they are new or not.
2. Bring a camcorder.
3. I also bring a list of what I want to feel during the motion. For example. A) You a looser wrist with the 1st 10 balls. B) Use a looser elbow with the 2nd set of 10 balls C) Use a higher toss with the 3rd set of 10 balls. This will allow me to see how the things I feel in the serve affect the reality of what I am doing. I also combine variables to see how one affects another.
4. I hit a few till I am warmed up, and then I turn the camera on.
5. Sometimes I check the camera while I am out there so I can attempt on court corrections, but sometimes I don't.
The one experience that made me adopt this method was when I tried to imitate Roddick's serve. I hit some very solid serves, but I did not want to adopt his style. When I checked the tape I looked nothing like him, and more like the ideal serve I was trying to achieve. My motion was actually getting to loose and the Roddick thought corrected it. It taught me that no feeling is too bizarre to be ignored, especially when it produces results.

Bungalo Bill,
The word "snap" is an excellent word and technique to use in ones
serve. If you re-read my first post no mention is made about
snapping your wrist or forearm, but you do want to definitely snap
the racquet tip towards the ground after contact-this assures
maximum racquet acceleration and a steep angle into the court
with plenty of net clearance. Most tennis players do not get their
racquet tip pointing downwards after contact and diminish their
consistency and power. Chuck Krese actually recommends his
players hit serves with no legs or upper body, using only their arm
to promote this racquet snap during practice. If you focus on
getting the racquet tip to point downwards the wrist and forearm
will pronate naturally without any thought. However, if you
try to force a wrist snap or forearm pronation you will not necessarily create maximum racquet acceleration with the tip
pointing downwards.

Well if you like the term snap use it! I don't. I say bend because I dont want my students forcing a snap.
I think if you reread my post you will see we agree.
I see you finally got and read Chuck's book. Great! It is exactly the stuff I follow. Good stuff isnt it?
Any more concerns?

The majority of tennis instruction in books,magazines,videos, and
on court teaching by certified instructors all like to refer to the
explosion of the racquet at the top of the swing as being facilitated
by wrist/forearm snapping,cracking, or whipping the the racquet tip
through the ball and ahead of your arm and wrist in the follow-through. Allen Fox writes in his book Think To Win, "A server need
not consciously concern himself with trying to pronate when serving. The wrist and forearm will naturally pronate on your serve during the act of snapping your wrist." Dr. Jack Groppel writes in
a recent Tennis Magazine article "When snapping your wrist, its
important to get your racquet head through the impact point quickly. If your wrist leads the way, the frame will be late coming through and the ball is sure to go long. So remember to let the racquet head accelerate and overtake the hand and the wrist."
The late Tim Gullikson wrote in Tennis Magazine regarding Pete
Sampras's serve "Here's the payoff of Sampras' relaxed start-he
has generated tremendous wrist snap and forearm pronation, something he could not do if those muscles were not relaxed. The
snapping action is where a lot of his power comes from;it is what
moves the racquet head through the ball." Tim also states in
another Tennis Magazine article on the serve "The second thing is to keep a lose grip on your racquet, with a flexible hitting arm. That way,
you can really snap your wrist and forearm like a whip, accelerating
your racquet into the ball. Snap your wrist and pronate your forearm. That really brings the racquet head through the ball, giving
you a lot of power. The looser your wrist and the quicker you snap
it, the more power you'll get." Frank Early in his excellent book
Tennis Strokes That Win says "The shoulders snap after lagging
behind the hips; the elbow snaps after lagging behind the shoulders;the wrist snaps after lagging behind the elbow; and finally, the racket head whips through after lagging behind the
wrist. After the muscles of the trunk and arm have done their
work, Pioline's wrist snap is the final, explosive action before contact." Jack Broudy in his excellent book The Real Spin On Tennis
says "Throw the head of your racket at the ball-throw the tip straight forward. Always remember that "head first" produces "headweight."
I have a collection of over 60 tennis books and 30 videos in my library and the majority of the authors refer to the serve as a snapping action at the top of the swing versus a feeling of bending.
As a descriptive term for the serve" Bending" sounds contrived,
forced, and lethargic. "Snapping" sounds explosive,forceful, and
penetrating which is probably why most tennis experts like to
use snapping when describing what happens prior to contact on the serve. The serve is without question the most difficult stroke in
tennis to learn and where you will find the most disagreements
as to what actually takes place and how best to teach from tennis instructors. Unfortuately, very few tennis teachers are capable of truly teaching
the serve, I should know because it has been an on-going project for
me for over 20 years and I am still learning!

Japanese Maple,
Sir, I really appreciate your tennis knowledge. After reading many of your posts, it is clear you have considerable knowledge on most all subject matters concerning tennis. I am impressed. I wish I had your knowledge about tennis.
I do NOT however admire your delivery. It is quite obvious your need to berate other fellow contributors in the act of proving your own point. This is not only ugly, it has become disruptive and quite honestly childish.
It is unfortunate that one such as you with such knowledge must continue to degrade yourself and your message with such tactics. There is no way I can be of any tennis benifit to you as far as tennis is concerned. As you have stated, you have many books, videos about tennis. The only recommendation I COULD make is a suggestion. Try reading "How to Win friends and influence People".

Hear Hear! I am getting a little fed up with this also. Japanese, are you having a hard life? down on your luck? Trouble at home?
I also don't think his knowledge is that great otherwise he wouldn't be trying so hard to prove himself. He just repeats what he has seen or read. Maybe it is time to pull the posts and contact TW for help. Who cares who calls what by what term! Do you really spend all this time trying to downplay others? What a waste of energy. I remember you saying that your father taught you to stand up for yourself. Look like Father forgot to tell you when you should stand up for yourself. And 9/11? 9/11 was about people joining together and helping each other grow not about tearing people down. BB has far more knowledge then you do - and he proves it on the court by the feedback he gets. Why don't you grow up, dude! Your just a bitter high school tennis player that never made it to college tennis. lol

and if I feel a word or phraseology such as "bending" is going to confuse a new tennis player about what actually happens at the
point of contact on the serve, I feel compelled to correct the mistake based upon world authorities and my experience in the game of tennis. I
don't know of any knowledgeable tennis instructor who refers to
the serve as "bending"at the top at contact. Please share with
me who your sources are who advocate "bending" at the top
because I am always looking for new input and ideas,especially if I have never heard of the concept, so long as
they are fundamentally sound and universally accepted by the
tennis community. I hope you don't have a problem with that! I
noticed you don't refute the input of "snapping" the racquet based
on the input of Fox,Groppel,Early,Perlstein, and Gullickson but you
feel compelled to malign my input. I have no issues accept the search for truth and accuracy regarding tennis instruction so children everywhere will feel protected from erroneous information
and enjoy this wonderful game for a lifetime and not get frustrated
and quit the game! BB you make a point to attack my input and
when I provide numerous sources from world authorities to contradict your information, you are religated to attacking my background,experience, and knowledge. As I had asked before
please site your sources regarding "bending" on the serve because
I have never heard of this term used before. As a teaching pro
I tell my students about the value of TW regarding equipment
reviews and feedback. Relax, Relax, Take a deep
breath Great,
Don't take things so seriously!

There is no "mistake" being made. It seems every post I make there is a "mistake" to you. But tennis can be taught and is taught in many different ways. You seem to think your my police to cleanup issues I try to help people with. I receive about 50 emails a day from people all over the world. Everyone one of them has thanked me for the help I provide them and the new enjoyment that I help them with in the game of tennis.
It doesnt matter whether you have never heard of the concept - I use snapping and bending depending on the context at hand.
New tennis players your concerned about? dont think so, otherwise you woudnt have given that advice regarding topspin on a onehander. I think you just try to side step everything.
I also have read all the books you have. The problem I am having and apparently others too, is not what you bring to the table, it is your approach in handling the matter that is very offensive. And others apparently agree with me.
I think we really should take this up with TW, I really do. We need to pull all the posts and go from there.
Who really cares if one person calls it bending or snapping! I dont like people focusing on the snap but that doesnt mean if you do that your wrong. We just have different ways at looking at it.
You spend a lot of energy downplaying my posts. I explained the concept I was trying to create which by the way matched yours. Why get hung up on such trivial things?
You only made the high school team in tennis and because you read a couple of books you think your the clean up police? Why dont you just try and get along, add your information politely. I have enough information to take this up with TW. I dont want to as I too value you as a contributor to this board. But please stop hanging on every word and taking things out of context.
Read the posts with an open mind and try and understand the concept that is being explained. If you are not clear on something just ask for clarification. I think you will find since we both have read the same information that we agree on a lot of the same things!

I'm russian. And I had a really hard time trying to understand all this fuss about 'snap' and 'bend'. I spent 2 hours in a library to find out all the nuances in the semantics of these words. Did it help me to serve better? No. Because now I can't see a forest behind trees.
Dear Japanese Maple. This is an international board. And many posters (me for examp.) have no idea why it's so important to use one English word instead of another one. And the fact that 'all ladies do that' does not help in understanding your point.
And one thing else. Actually, I like that you post here, but I don't like your posts. I like that you post here, because it helps to have a wider spectrum of opinions and to not fall under the influence of just one expert. And I don't like your posts, because You always sound irritated and acrimonious without a reason. Or there IS a reason (?)

C Urala,
Since this is an international board read by many tennis enthusiast
it is critical that the most accurate information is posted so as to
not confuse the tennis players trying to improve. If I make a statement that is not sound, fundamental,and accurate, and is not
generally used by the tennis establishment I would expect to be
corrected unless I can provide solid sources that back up my claim.
If you have read my other post you will find that they are very
professional,insightful, and concise. If I am not knowledgeable about a particular subject posted or feel that it has already been
adequately covered, I will not respond. I feel its healthy to have
differences of opinions and to challenge each other to make this
the most informative tennis resource available.

Parasitic Load Vs. Backpressure
Although hot rodders are well aware of the parasitic power loss that comes with driving a supercharger off the crankshaft, the detriments of the exhaust backpressure created by a turbo system are often overlooked. Although it's difficult to put exact figures on how much power loss is associated with both a supercharger's parasitic load and a turbocharger's backpressure, the numbers could be much closer than most people think. "The theory that turbos give you free horsepower is ridiculous. Turbos don't have parasitic loss, but the exhaust backpressure they have to deal with means that superchargers make more power on pump gas," he says. "In race gas applications, superchargers and turbos run similar e.t.'s at similar boost levels, so the power loss from parasitic load and backpressure may be similar. Plumbing a turbo in the exhaust system is like putting a banana in your tailpipe. Any exhaust that isn't scavenged out of the cylinders adds heat to the combustion chambers, which lowers the detonation threshold and lowers how much boost you can safely run on pump gas. In a high-compression late-model engine like an LS3 small-block, a supercharger can run 15 to 20 percent more boost, and that more than offsets any parasitic power loss."
Heat Transfer
Air naturally heats up as it is compressed, and the more efficient the compressor, the less heat it adds to the compressed air charge. According to Ken, although standardized tests can effectively measure compressor efficiency in a lab, there are a multitude of factors that lab testing can't simulate. "We think that SAE J1723, a testing standard intended to measure compressor efficiency, is highly problematic. It only measures the efficiency of the supercharger itself, and does not account for the effects of engine compartment heat transfer, intercooling, oil temperature, and supercharger mounting location," Ken explains. "Most people don't just buy a supercharger, they buy a supercharger system. By mounting a centrifugal superchager off to the side of the engine, you effectively isolate it from engine heat. Since heat rises and positive-displacement superchargers are mounted on top of the engine, they are very susceptible to heat soak. Also, limited hood clearance often results in an undersized intercooler, and any ornamental engine shrouding a manufacturer bolts on top of the engine traps in even more heat. In the case of a turbocharger, exhaust gas temperature can exceed 1,600 degrees. That heat transfers over to the compressor side of the turbo and decreases efficiency. Likewise, a self-contained oiling system runs much cooler than a turbo running off engine oil, resulting in less heat transfer into the compressor. Pump gas is the real litmus test for compressor efficiency, and centrifugal superchargers are proven to make the most horsepower on pump gas."
Induction Plumbing
Minimizing inlet air temperature is imperative to maximizing power and durability in any forced induction application. Although intercooling is arguably the most effective method of lowering IAT, the plumbing on the induction side of the compressor is very important as well. "To properly engineer a supercharger system, you have to monitor IAT from the air filter, to the compressor outlet, to the intercooler, to the discharge piping, and to the throttle -body throughout a quarter-mile run. If you have restrictions in flow path anywhere between the air filter and air inlet on the supercharger, it increases parasitic power consumption," Ken explains. "In the case of a turbo, it will actually increase backpressure. If locating the air filter away from heat requires making a long inlet tube with tons of bends, you're better off bolting a rear-facing filter directly on the blower. Heat off the headers will rise into the filter at idle, which is obviously very bad, but last I checked you're not racing at idle. As a car moves down track, by the time it reaches 20 mph IAT will be within 3 to 5 degrees of ambient temperature. Sure you can pulley the blower down to overcome the restriction on the inlet side, but all that does is increase parasitic power loss and generate more heat. If you try to hot lap a forced induction motor at the track, the shortcomings of the induction system become very obvious. With a properly designed intercooler, recovery time from heat in the induction system is very quick."

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Rotator Cuff Disorders
The long-term changes that occur in and around the shoulder joint because of everyday wear and tear cannot be totally prevented. But you may be able to prevent some rotator cuff problems if you:
- Keep the muscles in your shoulders flexible and strong. Daily exercises to maintain strength and flexibility may be the best defense against rotator cuff disorders.
- Have good posture at all times. Stand straight and relaxed, without slumping.
- Don't lift objects that are too heavy for you—especially over your head.
- Don't catch falling objects.
- Avoid sports or other activities where forceful contact or falls are likely or common.
- Don't keep your arms out to the side or raised over your head
for long periods of time, such as when painting a ceiling. If you must do these
- Take frequent breaks, and ice your shoulder several times a day and at night.
- Take a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug to relieve any swelling and pain in the tissues that are being pinched. Be safe with medicines. Read and follow all instructions on the label.
- Ask your doctor if it would be helpful to take an anti-inflammatory medicine before activities that may stress your shoulder.

Eh, that's speculation (also it's couldn't have handled it BTW), Fed isn't 23 (in fact he's almost a decade older) so we'll never know, I mean you can be sure of it JV but it's impossible to prove and you're hardly the most unbiased source now.
We'll see how Nadal will do at 31-32 and compare, should be very interesting.

[Info: I already know about flock() & friends, which have an effect only when the other applications are also using it (in other words: open() will succeed but flock() will fail if already locked) --> but still the device handle retrieved from open() can be used to write to the display..] What about cases when I want to enforce such an exclusive access on a device files? How would such an enforcement be possible? Thanks in advance! (HowTos)

Ailing Union minister Manish Tewari, who is undergoing treatment at AIIMS, today said the pain, agony as well as "insults" and "jibes" have strengthened his resolve to come back.
"Four hospitalisations in 40 days, physical pain, mental agony, changes you from inside. Strengthens resolve to come back," Tewari said in a post on social networking site twitter.
The minister was apparently referring to jibes by rival party leaders, who had said that Tewari was running away from contest Lok Sabha polls.
Tewari, who had won from Ludhiana Lok Sabha seat in the last General Elections, has not been fielded by his party which has nominated former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh's grandson Ravneet Singh Bittu as its candidate from the seat.
The Union minister had earlier cited ill health as the reason because of which he is not in poll fray. Sources close to him said that the minister has been advised bed rest.
