Interaction with Guests
We respond to our guests' need for interaction. If they want to engage, we're happy to talk. But if guests want to be left alone, we're okay with that, too. We live in the basement so we're always available if needed.
The Neighborhood
Our neighborhood is on the edge of downtown and close to the capitol campus. There are a lot of office buildings springing up all around us, but our row of residential housing hugs this main artery. You can easily walk to many interesting places.
Getting Around
Our Intercity Transit Routes 94 (best) and 64 swing by to take you to the transit station for more connections. One block away, you can catch the DASH, a free bus that goes up & down the main drag from the Capitol to the Farmer's Market. Two buses enroute to Tacoma go past our corner, the 603 and the 612. To bus to and from Seattle, check Sound Transit's schedule for connecting with Tacoma. If you take the train to Olympia, bring your bike. There are two awesome bike trails between us and the train station.
Other Things to Note
Check in time is 4pm - 6pm unless you make other advance arangements.
The house is unlocked during check in and locked during all other hours of the day. We prepare the house for new guests from 1pm- 4pm and ask that guests find things to do outside the Inn between those hours. Guests have keys so they can access their rooms during this time, but no visitors or new guests are allowed during these hours. Guests can stay up to two weeks.
Kitchen Use - The kitchen is available for lunch use between 11am to 1pm. Kitchen access for dinner is 5pm to 9pm. Everyone appreciates it when you immediately clean up after yourself in the kitchen.
Bathroom Sharing - Your time in the bathroom should be as enjoyable as the rest of your visit. Please take maximum enjoyment with minimal time, if you suspect others may be waiting for their turn. We provide mirrors and hair dryers in all the rooms where additional primping can take place. Fresh towels are in the shelves near the bathroom, used towels go into hampers after use. Leave the bathroom better than you found it each time.
The general atmosphere around here at Ground Inn is friendly and cooperative. Everyone wants you to have a fun, safe time during your visit. To cultivate this atmosphere, we've provided some clear guidelines which allows for maximum relaxation and minimum hassle. Children are very welcome, but please assist them in abiding by these guidelines ~ especially with respect to noise.
Be Respectful - respect yourself, respect bunkmates and staff, respect nature, respect any animals you might meet, too. (Service animals are welcome, but no pets please.) Out of respect for people with chemical sensitivities, we strongly encourage a scent-free environment as a courtesy for all. Quiet time after 10pm.
Be Green - please turn off water and electricity when not needed. Use the recycle and compost bins. Make as little garbage as possible.
Be Safe - be mindful of your words and actions ~ how they affect the safety (and feelings of safety) of those around you. No threatening words or actions will be tolerated. If you ever feel threatened or uncomfortable in any way during your stay here, let a staff person know.

Everything was great! Christopher showed me my room and the house! The other guests was very nice.
Christopher makes you a custom breakfast that is very good! There's parking for the car! Olympia is a cool place and i will definitely stay there again sometime
Staying at Christopher's was awesome. He gave me a very warm welcome even if I arrived earlier of check-in time. The house is very nice and clean and very centrally located.
There's plenty of space if you need to work on your laptop or just rest and talk with the other guests or play some music.
There is a bathroom with all the amenities just right by the room, it's clean and well organized.
I didn't spend too much time home cause I was just visiting for a day and wanted to see the most of Olympia (I fell in love with it by the way).
But I had the chance to have a chat with Christopher during breakfast (he prepared a succulent vegan breakfast for me) and he's such a nice easy-going guy.
I would highly recommend to stay at his place.
Clean, quiet and super chilled. Chris is easy going and very accommodating
Chris helped my boyfriend reserve a room right away when he was traveling and was stranded without a place to stay. Thank you so much for your help last minute. We really appreciate it.
First, I want to say how kind and hospitable both Christine and Chris were to me. They were kind and friendly and kept the place clean. And what a simple but great breakfast! Second, when I got stuck in traffic due to a bad accident on the road, Chris took me again for an additional night without any problems. Thank you!
I will stay with them again and (website hidden).
Christopher & Kristen were excellent hosts, and provide a really unique service to a pretty small town such as Olympia. The hostel is cosy, and wasn't too crowded, had lot's of room to relax after a days work or play in the area, and some really nice guests coming through. Kristen also whipped up amazing breakfasts every morning, and Christopher provided some great insights into some of the exciting things going on in Olympia.
I stayed here for 2 weeks whilst working in Olympia, and would certainly recommend anyone coming through town looking for a budget option (or even just a fun & comfortable stay) to book here!
Arrived late (10pm) as was mailed in advance. After initial slight hesitation proved to be fine. Stay was good, nice breakfast and easy atmosphere.

The Cincinnatti Kid final hand
If you read the wikipedia entry on this movie:
It talks about the probability of getting a straight flush vs. a full house. The number given is truly a lottery-winning probability event:
45,102,781 to 1
However, if you try and figure out how this number is derived then their number seems to come up a little high.

Here is my calculation to show that the wiki page is wrong:
Five card draw
Total number of possible hands 2,598,960
Number of possible full house hands 3744
Number of possible straight flush hands 40
Probability of these hands in two separate deals = (3744 / 2598960) (40 / 2598960)
= 0.000002217% or 1 in 45,102,785
Since this number is the same as the wiki number then clearly the referenced source has underestimated the probability of the occurence of this event. The actual probability should be much lower since some cards have been removed from the deck.

No. It's about being able to arrange 10 cards into one straight flush (including a Royal) and the other into a full house. The lack of pairs in the straight flush will make it a little more difficult for the other person to make a full house.
Lets arrange the straight flush first because that's easiest:
4 suits x 10 high ranks (5 high to Ace high) = 40
Total combinations: 2,598,960
Full houses that can be made from the remaining cards:
Full House from 2 ranks of 3 cards each:
Full House from 2 ranks of 4 cards each:
Full House from a trips rank of 3 cards and a pair rank of 4 cards:
Full House from a pair rank of 3 cards and a trips rank of 4 cards:
Total ways: 60 + 1344 + 240 + 480 = 2124
Total remaining combinations for the 47-card stub: C(47,5) = 47!/42!/5! = 1533939
So the probability of both being dealt between them is:
(40/2,598,960)*(2124/1,533,939) = 1 in ~46,923,800.65
This also assumes these hands go to these specific players (it's more likely the hand would show up if it wasn't heads up, obviously) and assumes the second hand is precisely a full house, not a full house or better.

We are looking for the chances that this situation arises.
You calculated the probability that the first hand dealt was a straight flush and the second hand was a full house. Shouldn't you add to this the probability that the reverse order event occurs also? i.e. the first hand dealt is a full house and the second hand is a straight flush?
So I think your number should be doubled:
2*(40/2,598,960)*(2124/1,533,939) = 1 in ~23,461,900
Which would agree with my intuition that the number should be much less than the number given in the wiki article.

I am now trying to determine where the wiki page's second number comes from: 332,220,508,619 to 1. It states the number is for when both hands occur in the same deal. However, I think it was shown conclusively above that the actual number is much smaller than this. So then, where does this 332,220,508,619 number come from?
One guess is that it is the probability of getting a full house with the pair only contained in the straight flush. Using the numbers from above, this can be calculated as:
(40/2,598,960)*(480/1,533,939) * 2 = 1 in ~103,818,909
This is a bigger number but still far off from 332,220,508,619.
So now try and get an upper bound on the total number of all possible hands. I think this can be estimated simply as:
(1/2,598,960)*(1/1,533,939) = 1 in 3,986,646,103,440
Well, this now is a larger number than the the wiki number but only 13 times or so. Something tells me that as rare as the situation is it is not so rare as to be only 1/13 times smaller than all possible hands.
So now I think the referenced source in the wiki article is suspect.

Yes, I agree the source needs to use Excel or something. Even getting exactly a Q high straight flush vs Aces full of 10's is 1 in 83,055,127,155; half of that if you don't care who loses.

A Unique and Centralized ID Device… What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

At face value, something like this may seem practical:
However, in the context of identity fraud and the surveillance society, this is worrisome as well. The idea of complete centralization of information on individuals has the potential for so much damage and risks (in Beck's sense) that such a device could only work with an army of precautions.

Weekend road trip ends in split for WIHS Lady Chiefs
Jan 20, 2013 - By Randy Tucker, Staff Writer
Wyoming Indian's girls picked up a split on the road this weekend with a 51-33 loss to the Kemmerer Lady Rangers on Friday and a 53-42 win over Big Piney on Saturday.
The Chiefs played well early in Friday's game, but Kemmerer found an answer to Wyoming Indian's pressure defense in the second quarter.
The Chiefs scored just four points in the period as Kemmerer's press breaker kicked in and limited the number of shots Wyoming Indian was able to take.
"They handled the press really well, "Wyoming Indian head coach Aleta Moss said.
Beating the press and converting at the free throw line are always key aspects of a game against a pressure-defense team, and the Rangers were able to do both.
Kemmerer shot an impressive 18 of 21 from the line in the contest including 11 of 13 in the final period. Saturday's win moves the Lady Chiefs to 2-2 in the Southwest conference and a current third place seed behind Wind River and Kemmerer but ahead of Shoshoni and Big Piney.
The Chiefs have a single game this weekend, but it should be very interesting as the top-seeded Lovell Bulldogs out of the Class 2-A Northwest come to Ethete.
Wyoming Indian - Chardale Brown 0-2 0, Brindi Lock 1 2-5 4, Kanani Washakie 2 3-6 7, Rhiannon Mitchell 1 (1) 0-0 5, Jocelyn Underwood 3 3-8 9, Jasmine McGill 2 (1) 1-2 8. Totals 10 (2) 7-20

Key Resolve, Foal Eagle Condemned by Australian Organization
|Pyongyang, March 7 (KCNA) -- The Australia-DPRK Association for Friendship and Culture brought out a bulletin on Feb. 20 denouncing the U.S.-south Korean joint military exercises Key Resolve and Foal Eagle.
The bulletin in an article titled "U.S. browbeats peace on Korean peninsula" noted:
War drumbeats of the U.S. forces will soon be heard again from the Korean peninsula.
Those war drumbeats are ringing out from joint military exercises which the U.S. and south Korean warmongers are describing as "annual ones".
The U.S. is introducing its WMDs into the Korean peninsula, rendering the situation extreme tense and harassing peace there.
Washington has let its strategic nuclear bombers fly into the sky above the Korean peninsula to stifle the DPRK and conducted drills for using nuclear weapons. It has also mobilized nuclear aircraft carriers and submarines.
Western media have painted the DPRK as a "harasser" of peace on the Korean peninsula. This is unreasonable.
The bulletin in an article titled "Expression of goodwill" introduced the crucial proposal and open letter of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK.
The Australia-DPRK Association for Friendship and Culture wishing for peace and reunification of Korea urges the U.S. to pull its forces out of south Korea, the article stressed.

Cynthia Nixon Weds Longtime Partner Christine Marinoni
While The CW's new series The Carrie Diaries is set to go back in time to show viewers what Carrie Bradshaw was like in her younger years, the real-life cast is all grown up: Sex and the City actress Cynthia Nixon has finally tied the knot — to her longtime partner Christine Marinoni, three years after being engaged at a marriage equality rally in New York and a year after same-sex marriage became legal in New York state.
The couple announced the marriage to PEOPLE in an official statement, saying simply, "On May 27, 2012, Cynthia Nixon and her girlfriend, Christine Marinoni, were legally married in the state of New York." Nixon's dress? In typical Sex and the City alumnus fashion, it was a custom gown designed by Carolina Herrera. No big deal, right?
Cynthia, 46, has been with Christine, 45, since 2004. They have one child together, Max, born in 2011; Cynthia also has two children from a previous relationship.
Congratulations to the happy couple!

I've got a couple of entry level on the tasting bench at the moment, this is the first. This was a big hit for me last year, a wine from Priorat at this price level and quality was quite rare at the time. But now wines in the $40-$60 price bracket are the must have item for many importers. And who's complaining, seeing as the top wines from the region are going up again this year? There doesn't seem to be one style at the price point, some are big rounded, easy drinking things, others are a bit tighter and focused. This falls into the later camp…
Plenty of Priorat character here, sooty, black coal kind of notes up on the nose first off, then a bit of hot tar and violets. After that the fruit: raspberry, plum and light cherry notes. The tannins are a little gritty and grainy, but it's all nicely balanced and there is acid, enough to keep the finish sparkling clean, tangy and long. A similar profile on the palate, a bit of licorice and wood spice adds a bit extra. Overall, an excellent example of Priorat that doesn't wander off in to rustic red wine, it looks like fine wine from Priorat.91 Pts

Maputo — Mozambican President Armando Guebuza declared in Brussels on Tuesday that inclusive development has been a cornerstone in Mozambique, at the epicentre of which is the fight against poverty in all its manifestations.
Speaking at the opening session of the Seventh European Development Days (EDD), a two day event organised by the European Union, Guebuza said that inclusive development should be sustainable, endogenous and led by Mozambicans.
Among the components that make such development viable, he argued, are the consolidation of national unity, self esteem and the culture of peace; democratic institutions and practices; sound macro-economic management, good governance and the transparent management of natural resources; and the protection of the environment and of biodiversity.
As an example of inclusive growth, Guebuza cited the expansion of the social services, which has led to reduced illiteracy, and reduced maternal and infant morality rate.
"For example, neonatal mortality per 1,000 births has fallen from 48 in 2003 to 30 in 2011", he said. "Infant mortality per 1,000 births fell from 124 in 2003 to 64 in 2011".
Decentralising decision making power to local governments was another factor driving inclusive development, he said, This included decentralizing financial resources to rural districts.
Guebuza stressed the infrastructure fund for districts, and the District Development Fund (FDD), still commonly referred to as "the seven million" because it started in 2006 as an allocation of seven million meticais (about 243,000 US dollars, at current exchange rates) from the state budget to each of the 128 districts. The FDD money was to be lent to citizens with viable projects for boosting food production, generating income and creating jobs.
Guebuza said that, thanks to the FDD, in 2011 alone over 7,000 projects created about 20,000 jobs. "These are very positive results, although we recognise the challenges in managing these resources to ensure full repayment", he added.
Guebuza stressed that his annual tours around the country, known as "open and inclusive presidencies", have promoted the use of freedom of expression among citizens. At his public rallies, he explained, citizens speak freely about the problems they face, denouncing mismanagement, red tape and bad governance, with no fear of reprisals.
Turning to the concept of "redistribution of wealth" as applied in Mozambique, Guebuza said that, at first sight, it may suggest passive citizens, their hands outstretched, waiting for charity from others to produce the wealth which would then be distributed.
But that was not at all what Mozambicans meant, he stressed. In Mozambique "this concept is expressed in the empowerment of citizens to play their part in the fight against poverty, because wealth is produced through work, and you only distribute what you have".

Jim Wells commissioner race lands in court
ALICE -- The outcome of the March 4 Jim Wells county commissioner election now is in the hands of a district judge.
Oswald "Wally" Alanis, a 14-year incumbent, who represents Orange Grove, Sandia and a portion of Alice, won on election night but lost by two votes after 19 provisional ballots were counted. Of those, 14 went to his opponent J.C. Perez III and five to Alanis.
Alanis filed a formal protest in 79th District Court in late March, citing mistakes and irregularities with how the election was administered. In question is whether four residents improperly were denied the right to vote.
Visiting District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos heard hours of testimony Friday. Four residents, husband and wife Rebecca and Jesus Hernandez, Laura Ray Hatton and Jesus Garcia testified that they either were not allowed to vote despite living in Precinct 3 or that they had been shifted into another precinct erroneously.
The Jim Wells County legal team put a string of witnesses on the stand including county elections administrator Pearlie Jo Valadez, who said that the Hernandezes had suspended voter registrations because they had not answered correspondence related to their voting address.
The Hernandezes testified that they have lived in the same house for years and that they vote regularly. They were turned away at the polls and were not offered provisional ballots, which would have allowed them to vote.
Both Hatton and Garcia voted in another precinct, noticing afterward that Alanis was not on their ballot and complaining to Valadez.
"My specific purpose of voting was for Wally," Hatton testified. "I was driving home, and I realized that I had not voted for him and thought that I had been given an incorrect ballot. "
After closing arguments, Ramos instructed Alanis' attorney Phil Westergren and county attorneys to file briefs by 5 p.m. Tuesday outlining the election case law supporting their arguments.
Westergren said he will produce material out of the state election code that the four should be allowed to vote.
Attorney Bobby Bourlon, representing Jim Wells County, said his team's legal brief will concentrate on the four voters' responsibility to maintain correct registrations and to cast their votes in the proper place.
If Ramos rules that there were errors in the election, she can change the outcome or order a new election.

Studio Mela.
I'm silly. Silly because I've seen this Break the Routine print just about everywhere but my own living room and paid no attention to where it came from. Of course that would be Studio Mela which I'm now absolutely head over heels for.
On the Rocks: Pineapple Martini.
This pineapple martini with a hint of raspberry is not only the yummiest, but the easiest summery cocktail I've seen yet.
– 1 oz. Pineapple Juice
– 1.5 oz. Vodka
– .5 oz. Chambord
Shake ingredients with ice and strain into a martini glass.
Garnish with a wedge of pineapple or a pineapple leaf.

The Daily Eat: Zucchini Risotto.
My lunch will actually be mushroom risotto this afternoon (thanks to the company since we've been putting in so many long hours). This Zucchini Risotto's been on my Must Try list for quite some time though. It has less butter than your average risotto and no wine, cutting down on unwanted calories exponentially.

Cat's in Style.
I'm totally digging this Cat's In Style litterbox (cover?) by designer Marly Gommans. I'm also pretty convinced I could make it myself. Not sure how Peanut and Roxy would feel about having to climb in and out of that little opening though since they've never had an enclosed bathroom box before…

Check out the video for The Exchange by Andy Spade and Anthony Sperduti on the J.Crew site. Lovely.
The Daily Eat: BLAT Salad.
Everyone should be able to appreciate a good BLT, but add some avocado and it turns into a BLAT. A BLAT in the form of a bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato salad with basil-mayo dressing is perfection.

Monday Goodness: Strugglin'.
Time to pay for those lovely three days off by getting back to work. And working late for the next few days just to make up for yesterday's freedom. Posting might be a little lighter than usual, but hang in there because I promise to be back to your regularly scheduled blogging as soon as work permits.
PS: Everything worked out and as of July 9th I'll be an official homeowner! I can't decide whether to shout with joy or throw up now…

Happy {Memorial Day} Weekend.
Just working on some last minute projects that need wrapped up before the much needed 3-day Memorial Day weekend. Looks like much of my time will be spent going back and forth making an offer on a house (eek!). I promise to share more information – and excitement – as things begin to unfold. In the meantime keep your fingers (and toes) crossed that it all works out and hopefully I'll have some exciting news to report come Tuesday!
Happy Weekend!

The Daily Eat: Creamy Key Lime Pie.
I'm not a pie lover with the exception of Key Lime Pie. There's just something about the tart/sweet combination and that strong citrusy lime flavor topped with freshly whipped cream that does it for me. All I know is that I've never met even a one I didn't like and that it screams Summer! to me which is really fitting for this Memorial Day weekend.

32 year old woman | Belmont Shore, CA, USA | Seeking men 30-37 within 50 miles
When in Rome! Thought I'd try match. Hoping to find Mr. Right. Smile,laugh and count the blessings you do have and not what you don't have.
Dating sure isn't what it use to be...I'm sure most of us have at least one thing in common, we had to think twice before resorting to online dating haha... But here it goes with an open mind! I am a focused and independent person who enjoys spending time with the loved ones in my life. I have an excellent relationship with my Ma, who is also my role model. I have a good career in finance, and it seems that most of my life has fallen into place except having someone to share it with. A career is wonderful, but you can't curl up to it on a cold night. I love to laugh, it makes everything better. Having a sense of humor is key; we all need to be able to take a joke and laugh at ourselves sometimes. About me, what to write? For starters, I was born and raised in Southern California. So Cal is home but my heart is in Colombia where my parents are from. With most my family in Colombia I've been traveling back and forth most my life. I think that's where my love of travel stems from. I want to see as much of this world as time will allow. Hopefully one day I can share some adventures with someone I love. I definitely have old school beliefs. For example, if we were in an elevator together would you gesture me out first? That is what I mean by old school beliefs. I should be gestured out of the elevator by you first. To sum up my "ideal match" in one sentence, Colombiana seeks hard working, lovable man with a sense of humor that enjoys traveling and soon... my company.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Baseball, Basketball, Football, Soccer, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses, Other
Middle of the Road
I love to travel, I want to see as much of this world as I can. Doesn't matter, it's your company that matters!
I could listen to Bob Marley all day.. And usually do. 70's, 80's, 90's R&B funk has a special part in my heart. Basically pretty broad Pink Floyd to the Fugees mixed in with some Teena Marie, Sade, Hip-hop & of course my Salsa, Cumbia, Merengue..
Enjoy spending time with my friends and family, and living every day to the fullest. Tomorrow isn't promised.
Vogue Magazine.. Got a passion for fashion.. From thrift, high end vintage, Niemas, Nordstroms or Ross! Fashion is art you wear.. But I am a sucker for a man in Levis and converse.

The Differences Between a Campbell's Russian Dwarf Hamster and a Winter White Russian Dwarf Hamster
Are you able to tell the differences between the two? If not, here's the answer. The Campbell's Russian Dwarf Hamster is in the left image and the right is the Winter White Russian Dwarf Hamster. There are two major differences that can help you tell them apart. Notice that the dorsal stripe of the Winter White is darker and wider compared to the Campbell's Russian. In addition, when looking at a Winter White, you can technically count 3 dark stripes; one on top of the back and the two famous dark "arches" on both sides of the Winter White that separates the darker color to the lighter underbelly as illustrated below:

Questions on DonJoy Boomerang Wrist Support
- From jd at 6/1/2011 10:17 AM
- does this wrist brace really protect the wrist when you fall on it
and does it mess up dribbling and shooting or ball grip
- This brace provides compression and does not affect dribbling. It will not provide maximum stability when falling on an outstretched arm because it is made out of neoprene.
- does this wrist brace really protect the wrist when you fall on it
- From Josh at 3/13/2012 7:08 PM
- Can you play golf while wearing this brace? I have a pain in the top back of my hand and in my wrist continuously but I dont want to give up the sport.
- Yes you can play golf in this product.
- From Chris at 9/10/2012 4:53 PM
- Can you use this braces playing football (position safety)?
- Chris,
That supports is for mild wrist sprains and strains. It will provide compression whil allowing movement at the wrist.
- From Mat at 9/17/2012 7:21 PM
- Will this stop my wrist from bending back while power cleaning or something like the bench press or push press where there is constantly weight on your wrist?
- This wrap provides a mild compression and support. It would not be recommended to immobilize your wrist. If you are looking for complete immobilization you should look at the SXT or CXT.
- From Sam at 11/23/2012 6:27 PM
- Can I shoot a basketball and play like normal with this brace?
- Hello, Sam -
This brace is designed to support your wrist and limit motion. You should be able to play basketball within your normal parameters. It is a light brace and does not contain any rigid material, so it does not lock or prevent specific motions in your joint.
If you have further questions, we encourage you to contact our product specialists at 888-405-3251.
Thank you and have a great day!

- I've broken my shooting wrist twice in the last 2 years...the same bone both times.
so, im all healed and rehabbed and playing basketball again but sometimes when i stumble or fall on the court i get worried I'm going to mess up my wrist again. is there anything i can get that will provide some sort of rigid protection while not limiting my shooting motion...i know NBA players (like Kevin Love) wear something like what I'm looking for...
- Hello, Phips -
The brace that Kevin Love wears protects his hand, not his wrist. You stated that you broke a bone in your shooting wrist (Kevin broke a bone in his hand), so you would want to protect your wrist as opposed to your hand.
We do have an array of wrist supports, however they may limit your motion during shooting (braces are designed to limit wrist extension). Probably the least constricting of our line of wrist braces would be the DonJoy Boomerang Wrist Brace, this would be your best choice.
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact our product specialists at 888-405-3251.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!

- I have broken my wrist a few times over the years by impact and twisting. Ligaments and tendons are pretty much gone and have been told the wrist has become arthritic. Still active and looking for something that I would be able to still swing a bat. Wrap with tape now using figure 8 around thumb and wrist but was looking at possibly a brace taking tapes place. Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
- Hello, Joe -
You may want to look into something that also encompasses the thumb for support since you are utilizing a figure 8 around the thumb and wrist. The DonJoy Wrist/Thumb Wrapo would be a good choice:
Another is also the DonJoy Universal Thumb-o-Prene:
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact our product specialists at 888-405-3251.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!

- My daughter had surgery to remove 2 ganglion cysts from the back of her wrist 2 weeks ago. She is gradually increasing her strength and range of motion at this time, but has a long way to go yet. Volleyball starts in a month, and the surgeon said she may want a soft support with a little padding that may also take away a little of the impact if she were to fall on it, but nothing that would restrict her wrist mobility. (She is currently using a solid support brace, which is far to restrictive). I'm not even sure if they are allowed to wear any wrist/hand devices when they play, but if they are, do you think your support would fit the bill? Thanks!
- Hello Sue,
I recommend the ProCare Universal Wrist O Prene. This brace is made of Neoprene, you slide it on and it has a velcro strap across the wrist to adjust based on comfort. Used to tighten. Contains a Removable palmer stay.
The Wrist Wrap provides less support with a shorter length, specific to wrist.
Thanks for Contacting Donjoy.

- Can neoprene wrist braces be used in a chlorinated swimming pool?
- Julie
Thank you for contacting DJO. Yes they can be worn in the pool, just make sure that you rinse it afterwards
- From Lana Marenco at 3/7/2014 4:15 PM
- Will this be a good brace to wear while doing Olympic style Lifting (like power snatches)? I've started feeling pain in just me right hand near what I believe is called the medicarpal flangular joint. The pain is actually just below that joint. Or is there a different brace that will allow a healthy way to keep lifting and not cause permanent damage?
- Lana
This is a neoprene wrap around wrist and hand support. If you pain is in the hand, MCP joint, this is the best compressive support you are going to find on our website.
- From Chris at 4/28/2014 2:11 PM
- Can you wear this when pitching in a baseball game?
- Not for your pitching hand because it will restrict your motion. Look at either the DonJoy Boomerang Wrist Support http://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-boomerang-wrist-support or the DonJoy Performer Wrist Support Wrap http://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-performer-wrist-support-wrap Both are neoprene and should allow for some wrist motion.
- From Nick at 7/17/2014 11:59 PM
- Can you wear this under a hockey glove? Or would it be too restrictive?
- Yes
The brace is a neoprene wrap not very thick
- From David at 1/16/2015 12:58 PM
- I have ulnar sided (Pinkie) sided wrist pain from degenerative TFCC tears in both wrists. I get pain in the TFCC area when I swim. Can you recommend a wrist brace to help with ulnar side pain while swimming?
- David
You can use the Boomerang wrist support while swimming, it will give mild support to the wrist. Another optioin would be the wrist wraps http://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-wrist-wraps-wrist-brace

A letter to Hubs and Hops – We've noticed you've been busy lately. Please consider this letter to the editor as a pre-packaged post to your website, should you deem it worthy. Photos included, credit Anchor Steam pic to C&N Catering, jerk chicken photo to The New York Times.
Last weekend, the dedicated #hubsandhops uberfan readers also known as C&N Catering were lucky to be among the select few to preview the Highway House remodel that Mike and Megan have basically been kicking ass on since they moved over here to the west side of town. A fresh coat of bone white paint on the clapboard in the back, galvanized steel tubs filled with chunks ice and brews, old and new friends, some Cinco de Mayo salsa dogs hot off the grill, and not a single mosquito in the lot.
Across the highway the pollo asado grills at the Mexican grocery stores crackled and smoked away, and it got C&N to thinking (naturally) of pulling together some killer grilled chicken dinners for all of our upcoming 2013 summer parties.
The "N" side of C&N immediately locked into this recipe for jerked chicken over at The New York Times, and it was thus decided: this would be the summer of jerk. Jerked chicken, jerked pork, jerked prawns, jerked abalone, hell jerked okra and jerked artichokes and jerked tomatoes if we can figure all of that out. Of course, the ultimo perfecto accompaniment to anything jerked is an iced, iced, iced, ice-cold bottle of Red Stripe Jamaican Lager. So, taste buds wet with the promise of spicy chicken and freezing clean icy beer, we ended up over at YouTube, watching some of the bad-assest beer commercials ever made. Hooray beer!
And yet, even as we considered those classic ugly bottles of Red Stripe, we were inextricably drawn away from tradition and nostalgia to a lager of a different breed: that of our dear friends at Anchor Steam Brewery. If for whatever reason you've been living under a rock or outside of the export zone or whatever, you've got to find a way, any way possible, to score yourself a sixer of Anchor Steam's California Lager. Like Red Stripe, this brew is crisp, clean, delicious, and pairs perfectly with spicy chicken, a cheddar burger, or (and we think probably the best) a chilled pint glass.
We're about to pour another Anchor Lager now, toast our friends Mike and Megan and the incredible focus and creativity they bring to the remodel of their new home, a focus and creativity that they seemingly bring with ease to everything in life. Thanks guys for the Sonoma Project, for #hubsandhops, for friendship, and thanks for inspiration. We're looking forward to a summer filled with jerks and stripes. Hooray beer.

MOUNT VERNON - Bauman and Company offers more than quality men's clothing. This store serves as a hang out. Since the 1970's Bauman's has been the place for some local gossip and a fresh pot of coffee.
Six days a week you'll find this group of guys hanging out in the basement of Bauman's clothing store.
When Mike Smith bought the store in the early 90's the guys came with it.
"Its adult daycare. I get a check from everyone of their wives every month for taking care of them for two hours every morning," said Smith.
And during those two hours the guys try to solve the worlds problems.
"A lot of wisdom down here," said Smith.
But its not always business, Fred Lehman is the jokester in the group.
"Now John gets a little stirred up once in a while," says Lehman. "The buyer of the house doesn't care. Well he cares because the sub contractors going to file against him. Get our attorney on the line."
"That was an extra good parade he said. Everybody smiled as they went by and the chaplin said your fly was undone," said Lehman.
"Laughter is the best medicine and you get a lot of it down here. Some days are very serious and others are not. About that many serious and most of them not," said David Dunn.
This store not only sells a good pair of slacks, but they offer up some good company, holding Bauman & Company true to its name.
"Their here forever as long as the stores here they are going to be here. They bring a lot of fun to my life and enjoyment," said Smith.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
the past 2 installfests have been plagued by people who haven't been
able to get X working "just right" or at all. *particularly* with
newish laptops. a common problem is when X, try as you might play with
xvidtune or mode timings, can't seem to cover the entire laptop screen.
we've seen this a bunch of times.
if you're working on a system, particularly a laptop, that looks new,
ask the person you're helping when the laptop was manufactured (they
prolly won't know) or when they bought the laptop.
then compare it with the build date of xfree86. you can get that
information using X -probeonly 2> X.log -or- by looking at a copy of
the X log somewhere in /var/log.
if the computer is newer than the build of X (particularly for a laptop),
there is a good chance that the video chipset is not officially
supported by X. if their X works, it'll be mostly by accident. their
chipset is "close enough" to get it "kind of" working.
from here, you need to upgrade X 4.2* if you're using X 4.1.*. in every
case we tried, upgrading X almost always worked (on laptops). alot of work
has been done on:
1. ati cards
2. laptop video chipsets
between 4.1.* and 4.2.*. i happen to know that the recent mandrake
beta carries 4.2.
if anyone here is aware of any distributions that carry 4.2.*, i'd like
to make a list for my own personal knowledge. please post your info.
Enron..safe legal abortion..civil liberty..repealing ICBM treaty..deficit..
What's worse? Screwing an intern or screwing an entire country?

Fitness in Munich
One can't help but wonder how the local folk, including some rather petite women, manage to swallow litres of Helles or Weissbier in one sitting, week after week, while somehow avoiding the notorious 'Bavarian Beer Belly'. However, on closer inspection it becomes apparent that these people have got the best of both worlds – an appetite for life, and a passion for sports and fitness.
While numerous people prefer to run or cycle to keep trim, many enjoy the social atmosphere of a club or gym – and Munich has no shortage of these. At the same time, come rain or shine, outdoor sports are by far the most appealing activities for expats. With warm summers and freezing winters, the climate plays host to scores of contrasting sports that keep one entertained and active all year round. And with the Alps only a one-and-a-half hour drive away, skiing and snowboarding are, understandably, at the top of the list.
Recommended health and fitness activities in Munich
In summer
For a comprehensive list of courses in and around Munich, visit 1Golf.eu and find all the details you need to get swinging.
Football (Soccer)
With football being one of the national sports of Germany, expats – men, women and children – won't have a problem finding a club in their district. Visit your nearest recreational facility to enquire about leagues or just position yourself to put the word out to new friends and acquaintances.
Nordic Walking
Nordic walking is huge in Europe, and Munich is no exception. Join hoards of walkers on routes all over the city and its surrounds. Visit Nordic-fitness-muenchen.de (German site) to learn more about Munich's premier Nordic outdoor centre, and sign up for a course, find a partner, or participate in one of their events.
Inline Skating
Although not a team/club sport, solo inline skaters are often seen cruising through the streets at any given time of the day. However, they all come together in thousands on Blade Night. Visit Aok-bladenight.de (German site) to find out when and where the next route starts.
In winter
Skiing and snowboarding
Skiing and snowboarding is a favourite way to keep warm during winter. Luckily, Munich is just proximal to a number or skiing and snowboarding resorts. For a list of nearby ski resorts, visit Skiresort.de (German site).
For a list of good tennis clubs, visit Citysports.de.

THE name "Fukushima" still brings images of nuclear disaster to mind, but one day it might be associated with renewable energy.
Fukushima is the Japanese prefecture that bore the brunt of the tsunami and nuclear meltdown in March 2011. Now construction has started on a community-run project in the coastal city of Minamisoma to reuse farmland contaminated by fallout. About two-thirds of this lies within the evacuation zone.
So far the Renewable Energy Village boasts 120 photovoltaic panels, generating 30 kilowatts of power for a local utility. The next step will be to plant crops tolerant of contamination, such as rapeseed, under the panels. Recreational facilities as well as an observatory are also planned.
"There might be an amusement park feel to the project," says project leader Ryozo Hakozaki, "but we're trying to show what the future could hold."

|All Recent SEC Filings
Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant, Financial Statements and Exhibits
On May 14, 2014, the Audit and Ethics Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the appointment of KPMG Canada as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm beginning with the review of the Company's financial statements for the quarter ending June 30, 2014. The Company's formal engagement of KPMG Canada remains subject to KPMG Canada completing its client acceptance process. On May 14, 2014, the Committee also approved the dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (Canada) ("PwC Canada") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm effective May 16, 2014.
PwC Canada was appointed auditor on March 19, 2014 and had not issued an auditor's report for any fiscal year of the Company.
From March 19, 2014 (the date of the appointment) to May 16, 2014, there were no "disagreements" (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions of Regulation S-K) between the Company and PwC Canada. However, during such periods, there were "reportable events" (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). The reportable events included a material weakness as described by the Company in Item 4 of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014. This material weakness related to not maintaining a sufficient complement of accounting and financial reporting personnel. In addition, as disclosed in Item 4 of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014, there was an additional material weakness related to not designing and maintaining effective controls over restricted access, automated controls and change management activities within a recently implemented ERP system, and certain personnel had the ability to prepare and post journal entries without independent review by someone other than the preparer. The Committee has discussed the material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting with PwC Canada, and has authorized PwC Canada to respond fully to the inquiries of KPMG Canada concerning such material weaknesses.
The Company engaged KPMG Canada as the Company's new registered public accounting firm on May 16, 2014. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 and the subsequent interim period through May 16, 2014, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has consulted with KPMG Canada with respect to: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that KPMG Canada concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a "disagreement" (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and the related instructions of Regulation S-K) or a "reportable event" (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided PwC Canada with a copy of the disclosure it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Report") prior to the time this Report was filed with the SEC. The Company requested that PwC Canada furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of PwC Canada's letter, dated May 20, 2014, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Report.

In this tutorial, I'm going to show a fairly simple way to bind a .NET DataGridView to a database. The form designer has some support for data binding, but I found doing it without the form designer is a little easier to understand and implement. Also, when I'm developing a desktop database application, my database schemas are rarely 100% defined, and the form designer doesn't easily support changes to the database.
The database I'm going to use for the example code will be an Access database. I know Access databases aren't the preferred database type for developers - because of their speed and scalability. However, for simple database apps, Access is hard to beat - since you don't need to install any outside database engines. In reality, the concepts shown in this tutorial can be used with any number of databases.
The first thing we'll need to do is generate a connection string to connect to our Access database. For simplicity, the database I'm using doesn't require any authentication. If your database has authentication, MSDN has some great documentation on how to accomplish that.
string connString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\\myDatabase.mdb";
The connection string is broken up into two parts, a provider and a data source. The provider is the engine we're going to be using - in this case, Microsoft's Jet engine. The data source, for Access, is simply the path to the database file.
Now let's use the connection string and get some data from our database.
//create the connection string
string connString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\\myDatabase.mdb";
//create the database query
string query = "SELECT * FROM MyTable";
//create an OleDbDataAdapter to execute the query
OleDbDataAdapter dAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(query, connString);
//create a command builder
OleDbCommandBuilder cBuilder = new OleDbCommandBuilder(dAdapter);
//create a DataTable to hold the query results
DataTable dTable = new DataTable();
//fill the DataTable
To keep the code simple, I've left out a lot of error handling. You'll
definitely want to surround
dAdapter.Fill with some exception
handling. That call will fail for many different reasons - for instance
the database isn't where the connection string says it is, or the query
string is invalid SQL code.
So let's go through what this code is actually doing. The first thing to
do is to create the connection string as described above. Then we need
an SQL statement to execute on our database. This can be any SELECT
statement you want. Next we create an
which serves as a bridge between our
DataTable and our database. An
comes next. This beautiful object automatically generates SQL insert,
update, and delete statements to rectify changes made to our
DataTable. Next we need to make a
to hold the information retrieved from the database. And lastly, we call
dAdapter.Fill(dTable) which executes our SQL query and fills
with the results.
Now that we have a
DataTable filled with database information, let's
see how to synchronize it with a
//the DataGridView
DataGridView dgView = new DataGridView();
//BindingSource to sync DataTable and DataGridView
BindingSource bSource = new BindingSource();
//set the BindingSource DataSource
bSource.DataSource = dTable;
//set the DataGridView DataSource
dgView.DataSource = bSource;
object is what will be keeping our
DataTable synchronized with the
DataGridView. So we set the
DataSource of the
BindingSource to
dTable, then set the
DataSource of the
DataGridView to the
BindingSource. Now when your program runs, the DataGridView should be
filled with the results of your SQL query.
At point, any changes made by the user in the DataGridView will
automically be made to the DataTable, dTable. Now we need a way to get
the changes back into the database. All you have to do is call the
Update function of the
OleDbDataAdapter with the
DataTable as the
argument to accomplish this.
This call will use the
OleDbCommandBuilder to create all of the
necessary SQL code to synchronize your database with the changes made to
dTable. But, when should you call this function? There's lots of
different answers to that. If you have a save button, call it when the
user pushes save. If you want the database updated in real-time, I like
to call it on the DataGridView's Validating event.
The last topic to discuss is error handling. What happens when the user
types something in the DataGridView that can't be put in the database -
like text where a number is supposed to go? Because you're using
DataBinding, it would take a lot of work to get the data type at each
column and manually make sure the user typed in the correct thing.
Fortunately, the DataGridView has an event,
to handle that for you. Whenever the user enters something incorrectly,
this event will be fired. From this event you can get the row and column
index of the cell where the incorrect value was placed, and you can also
cancel the event so you don't attempt to update the database with bad
That's all the code required to perform two-way data binding with an Access database.

White Vinegar has great properties for cleaning away grease, as well as descaling abilities that are used in a wide range of cleaning and laundry tasks around the home. However the effectiveness of using White Vinegar to clear limescale is increased considerably when it is heated. Whilst some people simply pour the vinegar into the bottom of the machine there is a possibility of it being drained away before it has been heated. Research has found that the most complete way to use White Vinegar is to fill two containers on the top and bottom rack and to set the dishwasher on the longest, hottest wash. This way the White Vinegar is released gradually and the heat will ensure that the maximum amount of limescale is removed from the internal parts of the machine.
Dishwasher users may also want to carry on using the White Vinegar in the rinse compartment of the dishwasher for regular use - it gets rid of any water marks left on glasses with ease, as well as keeping limescale at bay!

Website: Dr. Anderson Classes and Research
Dr. Anderson is an experimental psychologist specializing in animal learning and behavior. His research employs laboratory rodent models in the investigation of curiosity and novelty reaction, ontogenetic influences on learning and memory, and the influence of metabolic processes on time perception and associative learning.
Additionally, Dr. Anderson is interested in the behavior of Caribbean flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber), and employs observational studies of the captive flock at the Philadelphia Zoo in order to better understand the behavior of this highly social, iconic bird, and to perhaps gain some insight into the evolution and workings of general behavioral processes relevant to many species, including humans.
He is the author of over twenty articles and book chapters, and has edited a book titled Tasks and Techniques: A Sampling of Methodologies for the Investigation of Animal Learning, Behavior, and Cognition. His research on flamingo resting behavior and efforts to answer the age-old question, "Why do flamingos stand on one leg?" have received substantial media coverage from around the globe.
