I have very small wrists that have always been weak and have always made crunching/cracking noises when I move them.
I get on and off again pain that is pretty unbearable and alternates between my left wrist and my right wrist.
My left wrist has been hurting nonstop for about 2-3 weeks now (which is typical). The wrist aches constantly, but gets sharp pains when my wrist is not at a perfectly straight position or when I touch it.
If it helps to know some background info: I am a 24 year-old female. This pain has existed off and on for around 15-20 years. I have TMJ in my jaw (diagnosed when I was about 15) and it feels similar to my wrists; it is the same type of pain that gets better and worse with use and weather changes. My grandmother also has very severe Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Beginning on May 15 in Santa Monica, Calif., Van Engen has traversed nearly two-thirds the width of the continent – more than 2,000 miles so far – on a Sears Craftsman garden tractor. Powered by a 26-horsepower Kohler engine, the GT 5000 series tractor has held up just fine; perhaps better than Van Engen.

Also shown is the museum's main building, which was recently enclosed and equipped with geo-thermal heating and cooling units.

White Kiwi Birds
Filed under: Kiwi Bird - 25 Apr 2013 | Spread the word !
White kiwi birds are without a doubt the rarest species of kiwis that can be seen in the world today. In fact, there are only 3 such birds known to exist in captivity nowadays. Since white kiwi birds are so rare, there is no wonder that the birth of such a kiwi is an important event.
A white kiwi was born at a New Zealand wildlife center in December, 2011. The happy event took place at Pakaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Center, this actually being the second white kiwi bird born in this spot in 2011. Naturally, the famous Manukura is the first kiwi bird that that was brought here, back in May, 2011. Mauriora, which means sustained life, is the name of the kiwi bird that was born in this New Zealand zoo in December. Naturally, it was all a great event for the keepers of this zoo.
Well, today visitors interested in seeing the two lovely white kiwi birds can visit the Pakaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Center, which is located in Wairarapa district, at about 90 minutes drive from Wellington.
One of the most interesting things about white kiwis is the fact that white genes are known to only be existent in a limited number of the kiwi population. For a white kiwi to be born both the male and the female kiwi has to possess the white genes. So, the fact that the Pakaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Center now homes two white kiwi birds is absolutely remarkable.
Kiwi Bird Rescued from Mine Shaft
Filed under: Endangered Birds,Kiwi Bird - 18 Mar 2013 | Spread the word !
Besides kiwi birds becoming severely endangered, their fragile bodies, lack of flying abilities and poor eyesight can cause them to fall into many traps. This is how a great spotted kiwi bird fell into a mine shaft in a remote valley north of Greymouth, New Zealand.
Luckily for the bird, a worker at the Department of Conservation came to its rescue after a member of the public heard its calls. Trevor Ellen was tramping in the headwaters of the Ten Mile Valley when he heard the kiwi's call. He then followed the call to find a great spotted kiwi down the hole in the area which is full of abandoned coalmines and shafts, some of which being more than 100 years old.
The bird "was down in an old sinkhole from the 1800s, like a mine shaft. I couldn't get him out on my own, so we went back the next day", said Ellen.
The next day, Ellen returned early in the morning accompanied by Department of Conservation ranger Gavin Collins. The two embarked on a three-hour rescue mission.
The ranger attached a rope to a punga tree and lowered himself down. When he reached the bottom, the bird did not run away and let him pick it up. Either the kiwi was a juvenile, or it senses that the ranger was only trying to help it. The little bird droppings caused Collins to think that the kiwi had only been there a few days.
Working for the Department of Conservation, Gavin Collins said that he is used to climbing. However, his job requires his climbing skills more usually when it comes to checking out bat roosting sites.
Asked what were the chances of someone hearing the kiwi bird up the remote valley, he said it was "probably the luckiest kiwi around". The bird was released back into the nearby bush to find its way back into the wild.

Curiosities About Kiwi Birds
Filed under: Kiwi Bird - 17 Feb 2013 | Spread the word !
The main threat to the kiwi are the following animals: stoats, possums, ferrets, feral cats, but also larger predators such as pigs and dogs. Young kiwi leave the nest when they are only 3 weeks of age, weighing approximately 200 g. They are slow, small amd very few manage to survive the journey from birth.
It's also difficult until they get the critical size that allows them to face their predators. When humans destroyed forests and introduced predators, endangered the lives of these creatures. Nonetheless, humans are also their greatest hope as we can still do something for them.
Curiosities about these creatures:
- a great sense of smell
- could pass for mammal as has hair-like feathers and long whiskey, it cannot lfy and it burrows in the ground
- huge eggs
- the smallest living memebr of the ratite family, including emus and ostriches
- live in pairs as monogamous couples for most their lives
- sometimes, the male does most of the incubating of the eggs
- sex role reversal: the female is bigger and dominates the male
- it takes up to 80 days to hatch the eggs
It's interesting that the bonds between a female and a male can last to even 30 years and about every thrid day, a pair will shelter in the same burrow together. The relationships is more physical and volatile and during the night the two partners are looking for food or are patrolling their territory.
Plus, they will also perform duets, this being a way they call each other. The female has a lower hoarser call than the male and although it doesn't seem surprising, the bond is long lasting.

Rare Kiwi Birds Released Into The Wild
Filed under: Kiwi Bird - 25 Oct 2012 | Spread the word !
Five kiwi birds have recently been released on Motutapu island. This actually is a predator free island, making the perfect home for the five Coromandel brown kiwi. This species of kiwi birds is one of the most challenged in the country. Figures indicate that there are only 1500 kiwis left into the wild nowadays.
This release is part of the effort to build a large breeding population, launched by a New Zealand protection agency. The agency, Kiwis for kiwi, has as its main goal building a large population of kiwis that will allow the relocation of the species back to mainland sanctuaries. The founder of this organization hopes he will receive all the support needed to achieve his goal.
"Like many of us, I thought our national bird was so important that its population was stable, so I was deeply concerned to find out that without help, kiwi would be virtually gone from the mainland in our lifetime," Sir Graham Henry, Kiwis for kiwi founder declared according to The Aucklander.
He added that the organization aims to save kiwi birds and it will strike national pride to achieve this purpose. "New Zealand without kiwi is unimaginable," Sir Graham explained, and hopefully this is exactly what people will think, too.
Kiwis for kiwi hopes that in the following six years no less than 50 Coromandel brown kiwis will be moved to Motutapu Island. The survival of this species is believed to be much dependent on keeping the island free of dogs and animal pests. Due to predators, no less than 95 percent of all kiwis living in unprotected areas die before reaching breeding age.
This is why it is extremely important for people visiting Motatapu to understand that traveling with dogs to the island in not an option. Mice, rats and other pests should not be brought to the island, either. These pests have to be kept away from this location, as in a matter of a few days a dog can eliminate the entire kiwi population.
Efforts to save kiwi birds have been registered in the past few years, but releasing these five kiwis makes a whole new era in kiwi protection. The release is just the start of a new program that aims to built a Coromandel brown kiwi population on Motutapu Island.
Volunteers have worked on the island since 1994. They have planted more than 400,000 native trees to create a viable forest habitat for the return of native wildlife. Everyone interested in supporting this project can make donations or volunteer to work with the organization.
Funny Animated Kiwi Stories
Filed under: Kiwi Bird - 02 Oct 2012 | Spread the word !
The kiwi bird is a very interesting specie. The animated videos that have been created on its life are based on the idea that these birds are flightless, but that they want to be just like other bird species which are able to fly.
In this first video, the project was aimed at creating an illustrated animation in which an endangered animal is the main character and which provides a moral at the end. Aside from the fact that the kiwi bird finally manages to fly, due to the fact that it has not given up, we also get more morals. We can also consider the initial part in which deforestation happens. As this is an occurrence of our modern society, we can imagine the fact that animals would have to migrate to forested areas… but not all of them may be this lucky in reality!
In the second video, we can see another attempt at a kiwi bird flying. This is a fully animated video and it is based on the kiwi bird getting at least the illusion of flying if nothing else. This video has also been created as an education project and it can be closely related to the moral theme of the previous one.
Both animations have been created with a moral purpose as educational projects and they are both based on pretty much the same idea -- how can a flightless kiwi bird end up flying!

And now the promised and overdue road trip part of the story!
We left Medford at 9:15 am and headed for the I-5. Our original plan had been to go north to Grants Pass and head for the Oregon coast. But we had spent extra time dealing with the PS pump and yet more visiting with family so we headed south. We are planning on making a calendar from grandma with pictures of her old car in various settings in its new life, so we did make multiple stops in picturesque places along our journey. Dagoboy is and will be taking additional shots at his work, high school and his massage therapy school as well as any other good photo ops in his travels. Hopefully mom will enjoy seeing the pictures every month of his and her old cars new adventures.
We made good time on the slab until Redding CA and then we hit highway two niner niner. This is a long slice of heaven and our timing was perfect with mid-week non summer holiday traffic. The small hamlet of Weaverville is on this ribbon of delight and is rumored to be the sight of an upcoming BMW MOA rally. Our compliments to the organizers for their inspired choice of locale.
Our favorite view on a GPS screen.
Our even more favorite view through a windshield or helmet visor.
We hit Eureka about 3:00pm and pulled in to Big Louie's for a late lunch of pizza pie and a fresh tank of petrol.
After that, we rolled forward on our quest to this particular trips version of the mother road.
As we pulled up to take this picture, the boy was growing drowsy with a gut full of pie and there was a big group of Harley's getting ready to depart, so while they were pulling on their beanie helmets, we snapped the pic, performed a Chinese fire drill, I floored it and we left them in our rear view mirror.
The next 22 miles were pure bliss. While dagoboy slept, I got to drive and lay waste to his tires for a change!
Deep in old growth forest, this road snakes up, down and all around with a shockingly generous speed limit of 55 MPH that I did my level best to attain. We might have touched it once or twice on a rare piece of straight road connecting wonderfully tight and banked corners, but I made it a point to at least double or better the yellow signs suggesting the corner speeds.
The single vehicle we encountered, a Volvo wagon also being driven a bit spiritedly, pulled aside at the first opportunity and let us motor on by.
All too soon, we popped out of the trees and voila!
We let the car pose for its close ups and centerfolds.
By now it was late afternoon and the kid was slogging through small beach towns with 25-35 MPH limits one after another, bored out of his gourd. A quick check of the atlas showed nothing but more of the same for hundreds of miles. It being the boys car and trip, he made the command decision to head back inland and we found another suitable squiggly line on the map to take us there. CA128 was another inspiring road through some gorgeous wine country. It remained excellent all the way to Cloverdale where we reconnected with the 101 and proceeded to put some serious miles under our belts. The boy prophetically predicted he was good up until 9:30pm, by which time he had made Oakland. We made a side of the road switch and while he slept, I booted us out past Livermore towards the central valley and I-5 again. I drove until about 11:00 pm when I made a pitstop in the glittering metropolis of Los Banos and called three of the hotels to procure a room for the evening. All were booked, the boy was still zonked out and the car and I had more gas in the tank so I forged on southward until 1am until we were just north of Buttonwillow where I hit a 76 truck stop, pulled to a far corner of the lot and slept like a baby until 5:15am. I fired up the newly christened "2slow" and we motored off south again in search of breakfast at a little place I've been to in Gorman on Tejon pass.
After a rejuvenating breakfast the boy got his first taste of driving in Southern California rush hour traffic as we skirted the denser parts of the city in favor of the outskirts by using the 210 belt clear to Redlands. Shortly after that we were back in familiar surroundings when we hit the high desert.
After a visit to pay our respects to General Patton at his museum, we noshed on a lunch of apple, oranges, bananas and then I noticed the kid kept magically producing homemade cookies he had secretly squirreled away in his console from Grandma's retirement home lobby! This late discovery marked to one and only time he gave me one! I will someday exact my revenge.
Soon thereafter we introduced 2slow to his new state.
As we approached the valley of the sun, signs that we were close to home appeared. Hey 2slow! You're not in the pacific northwet anymore!
Finally, we were home! I think the car understands he has a new owner...thats more miles than he would have seen in the next 2 years in the space of a week.
The boy and the car seem to have settled in to their daily routines.
Hopefully, their adventures together are just getting started and will last many happy years.

Our college is welcoming a brand new program to the roster: Aviation. Our class was asked to create a logo for the program to use on all media types. The client wanted a logo that represents aviation while also representing our college, and also using their tagline "Soaring to Success". The name "AviPro" was created by me.
The idea was derived from the pins flight captains have on their lapels, but instead of metal, straight-lined wings, I used cardinal bird wings. The Cardinal is the mascot of the college. The top is the main logo, the bottom can be used as their own personal pin.

If there's any significant difference between indie rock and indie pop, it might be that the former tries to push away anyone who doesn't appreciate noise and menace, while the latter tries to entrance everyone with its embrace of silliness and sentiment.
Passion Pit is among the poppiest indie-pop bands, and its second album, "Gossamer," matches its diaphanous title with songs that pour pretty tunes and artfully unsubtle production over frontman Michael Angelakos's cheerfully negative view of the world in general and of love in particular.
Angelakos doesn't really hide these views: He names one stridently bouncy number "Love Is Greed," after all. But Passion Pit finds plenty of ways to distract from his thin vocals, such as the "Purple Rain"-era synths and Chipmunk bursts of "I'll Be Alright" or the possibly satirical buttery R&B-ballad clichés of "Constant Conversations." The embrace is deceptively light and firmly clinching.

Look for a list of the week's new CDs Tuesday in the Cue for a Better Life section.
Milwaukee native Jacob Latimore isn't old enough to drive, but the 15-year-old pop singer has already had a No. 1 song on BET's "106 & Park," nearly four million YouTube views for the music video "Nothing on Me" and a starring role in last year's film thriller, "Vanishing on 7th Street" with Hayden Christensen, Thandie Newton and John Leguizamo.
Latimore is back in town, opening for boy band Mindless Behavior for the second time in two years, at 7 p.m. Friday at the Milwaukee Theatre, 500 W. Kilbourn Ave. Tickets are $45; $99.50 for a meet-and-greet package, available at the box office and ticketmaster.com .
Local ska group Something to Do will hold an album release party for "Music for Fine Dining" at 7 p.m. Friday at the Miramar Theatre, 2844 N. Oakland Ave. Formal attire is requested (seriously, it is), but if you comply, you'll shave $2 off the $12 cover.
Breezy blues-folk musician Bob Parduhn will celebrate the release of his first solo album in seven years, "Sunshine Blues," at 9:30 p.m. Friday at Kochanski's Concertina Beer Hall, 1920 S. 37th St. Cover is $5.

MAC 24 external cd
Hi I have a 2006/7 MAC 24 with ann internal cd that does not work. Have tried cleaning it but no success.
I am now trying to connect an external USB cd/dvd drive but the MAC does not seem to recognise it.
Am I missing some sort of setup procedure?
Any help appreciated
There's no special procedure, and pretty much any external drive should work. There is one exception to this: Apple's DVD player will not play DVDs off an external drive. Well... maybe they will if it's an Apple-branded external DVD drive, but not any others I've used. What drive are you using, and what are you trying to do, or what is "failing" to happen?
Thanks for response
It is a cheap external USB cd-ROM Dynamode is the name
I am trying to upgrade operating system to Snow Leapard on my son's MAC. I have tried another disc and neither actually load. I also can't see the CD drive under Finder. Beginning to wonder if I have the wrong CD drive. It odes not mention DVD on the box!
Yep Bingo. Cheers.
Thanks to Maplin for swapping.
Wait for more posts as I go about upgrade!

YIELD: Makes 8 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 1 hour
TOTAL TIME: 3 hours 40 minutes (includes baking and cooling time)
For crust:
Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°F. Place rimmed baking sheet in bottom of oven to catch spills. Place sheet of parchment paper on work surface; lightly flour parchment. Place dough disk on parchment; sprinkle very lightly with flour. Cover with another sheet of parchment; roll to 9-inch round. Remove top parchment; sprinkle oats evenly over crust. Cover again with top parchment; roll to 12-inch round, rolling oats into crust. Remove top parchment. Using bottom parchment as aid, invert crust, oat side down, into 9-inchdiameter glass pie dish. Remove parchment. Press crust gently into pie dish. Turn dough overhang under, forming high-standing rim 1/2 inch above sides of dish. Crimp edges.
For filling:
Toss all ingredients in large bowl. Let stand while preparing topping.
For topping:
Blend first 6 ingredients in processor. Add butter; using on/off turns, blend until moist dough forms (mixture will resemble wet sand). Add oats; using on/off turns, mix briefly, leaving half of oats whole. Stir filling; transfer to crust, mounding in center. Sprinkle topping evenly over.
Bake pie until topping is golden, about 40 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake until apples are tender when pierced with small sharp knife, covering pie loosely with foil if topping and crust are browning too quickly, about 1 hour longer. Cool pie on rack until slightly warm, at least 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.

The clock continues to tick in Washington as Congress and the Bush Administration try and work out a bailout of the nation's financial systems. Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain find themselves between a rock and a hard place – both want to seem in touch with voters' increasing concerns over the country's economic health and their apprehension over such a hefty price tag on this bailout plan. But they also want to show strength and leadership on the No. 1 issue on voters' minds. And/but they also are watching out of the corner of their eye at what the other guy is going to do.
And stop the presses…McCain held a press conference today.
Obama took questions from the press today as well, but he did so last Friday too. It's been forty days since McCain gave some straight talk to the press corps following him on the campaign trail, an unprecedented dry spell from the candidate who promised a weekly White House press conference if elected.
Both candidates started with opening remarks on the economy and offered up bullet points on what should happen with the bailout plan. But neither committed to voting for or against the bailout.
Obama framed the White House proposal as "stubborn inflexibility" from President Bush and said it is not time for "my-way-or-the-highway intransigence from anyone involved."
Per ABC News' Sunlen Miller, Obama's plan calls for: - The inclusion of protections to ensure that taxpayer dollars are not used to further reward the bad behavior of irresponsible CEOs on Wall Street.
- A set up of an independent board that includes some of the most respected figures in the country, chosen by Democrats and Republicans, to provide oversight and accountability at every step of the way. Obama says that Paulson cannot act alone on this.
-A call to return any profits made by the government on the plan directly returned to taxpayers in addition to a Financial Stability Fee – a small fee, starting after the economy is recovered that would help recoup any losses from the bailout.
- Providing assistance to help to families who are struggling to stay in their homes. Will Obama or McCain make the trip to Washington if there is a vote on the bailout this week?
Obama – who is preparing for Friday's debate for three days in Tampa – says that he will only come back to Washington to vote for the bill if it's a close vote, per Miller. "Well look if we get a consensus and everybody is popping champagne – then I will probably be going back to campaign with folks who are having a tough time in places like Ohio, and Michigan and Pennsylvania. If this ends up being a close vote or a vote where the outcome is an open question then obviously this is a top priority."
ABC News' Ron Claiborne asked McCain what he would do if the fate of the bill was in his hands, as Democrats on the Hill have suggested. The Republican nominee dismissed that notion, per ABC News' Bret Hovell.
"This issue should be - and their vote should be determined in how we can resolve this crisis and get America going again," McCain said. "This is a huge crisis. We know, in the words of many experts and mine. This is the greatest financial crisis since World War II. So to somehow for the Democrats to say that their vote is going to be gauged on my vote frankly doesn't do them a great deal of credit.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
One-year deals for Muir in Green Bay, Lee in Oakland
Green Bay - Defensive lineman Daniel Muir received no bonus money from the Green Bay Packers last week but at least he managed to obtain a one-year contract.
Thus, if Muir were to play well in 2012, he would be in line for an improved contract from Green Bay or a chance at unrestricted free agency.
Muir's one-year contract is worth the $700,000 minimum. If he lands on injured reserve, his base salary of $700,000 would be reduced to $368,000
Last season, Muir spent four weeks on the Indianapolis Colts' 53-man roster. He started two of four games, playing 12.8% of the downs and finishing with 11 tackles. At 6-2 and 312 pounds, he is able to play either end and nose tackle in the 3-4 base defense.
As a free agent from Kent State in 2007, Muir ran the 40 in 4.89 seconds and bench-pressed 225 pounds an impressive 37 times. He made the Packers that season as an undrafted rookie but then had a poor training camp in 2008 and was waived.
Meanwhile, cornerback Patrick Lee's one-year deal that he signed with Oakland as an unrestricted free agent is worth $680,000. His $615,000 base salary would be trimmed to $343,000 if he goes on injured reserve. Also, the contract contains a workout bonus of $65,000.
Last season, Lee played 348 snaps on special teams and 21 on defense for the Packers.
Center Jeff Saturday's two-year, $7.75 million deal also includes a Pro Bowl bonus worth $100,000 each year. In 2013, the Packers will have to pay him a $1.4M roster bonus if he's still with the club by the 30th day of the league year.
Saturday's cap salary of $3.175M left the Packers a total of $3.425M beneath the salary cap. That doesn't count the money allocated Thursday to defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove.
As of Friday morning, the average NFL team was $8.814M beneath the cap.

30 year old woman | Edinburgh, Midlothian (Scotland), GBR | Seeking men 28-39 within 100 miles of Santa Clara, CA
Those who love the game bleed teal and white.
I like to stay busy between work and school. I am currently wrapping up the thesis for my second MA degree program and am about to begin my third Masters degree program this September. I hope to undertake my PhD program after this next MA. I want to do more than just get a degree and do one thing for the rest of my life. I want to explore, travel, teach, and continue to learn. I am slightly sarcastic and pretty blunt. I dont sugar coat anything- it is what it is. I am easy going and ready for whatever. I like being outdoors, and I like the social scene and being with friends, but I like to just stay home and relax as well. I am looking for someone that and enjoys life. Someone who's happiness is not dependent on their significant other; someone who can live their life within a relationship; but understands the importance of communication, honesty and trust. I guess that is enough about me for now. If you want to know anything else, just ask.
