Some of the site's highlights include the Jaguar Temple, the High Temple, and the Mask Temple.

DonJoy Neoprene Knee Brace Undersleeve reviews
vaughn I have purchased 3 of these so i can wait for them to dry in between time of wearing them under my defiance brace makes the brace 100% more comfrontable to wear all day and I won't wear it without them under my brace I have no rush under this from my brace and it don't slide down my leg. - vaughn
Rise I have the Donjoy 4titude CI brace on both knees. This sleeve works great underneath the brace. It does not migrate and provides an added level of comfort. I wear men's compression tights full leg and I can slip these over those as well. In combination the best support and comfort with no migration. Great product but kind of pricey as it is 30$ dollars for each. A over the counter sleeve is only 20 bucks and this should be between $15-$20 but what can you do. I would recommend this item. - Rise
Questions on DonJoy Neoprene Knee Brace Undersleeve
- From gen at 6/14/2015 9:57 AM
- I have a rigid knee brace (not a donjoy) is this sleeve universal?
- Yes, the DonJoy Neoprene Knee Brace Undersleeve can be worn under any rigid hinged knee brace. You need to measure your thigh, 6in above the center of your knee to get the size sleeve you need.
- From myasia at 4/22/2015 10:03 AM
- what is the knee brace material
- Myasia
The Neoprene Knee Brace undersleeve is made of neoprene
- From Dan at 4/9/2015 11:56 AM
- We are heading out on a windsurfing vacation in a warm climate. What sleeve would be best under a DJ brace? Neoprene or lycra? I am wondering if lycra will get too slippery when wet.
- Dan
Wearing the brace without a sleeve is best for migration but if you need to wear one the Lycra will be cooler than the neoprene, but the brace may stay up better with the neoprene
- We are heading out on a windsurfing vacation in a warm climate. What sleeve would be best under a DJ brace? Neoprene or lycra? I am wondering if lycra will get too slippery when wet.
- From Slim at 2/9/2015 9:37 AM
- Will this sleeve, or any other sleeve work with the Bio Skin Qlok Dynamic Patella Traction Knee Brace?
- Slim
The neoprene Undersleeve is used with our rigid knee braces, using it under that other brace is going to be very uncomfortable and rather hot.
- From Elsa at 12/14/2014 10:12 AM
- I wear a custom made graphite Donjoy brace after tearing my ACL. I play full contact box lacrosse and am finding that the brace is beginning to chaff and burn my leg. I sweat a lot while I play as I am wearing full equipment indoors, so my brace also begins to slip down my leg. Which sleeve would be most beneficial to me?
- Elsa
The neoprene under sleeve will have a little stick on the material to keep the brace up. Also does your brace have the Chamois liners and pads(yellow). they are better with sweat, if you have the suede(black) you can purchase a chamois set for your brace. http://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-defiance-custom-replacement-straps-and-pads-kit
- From jeff simon at 10/15/2014 10:43 PM
- I have the cotton/lycra sleeve in med would I be the same size in the Neoprene sleeve ?
- yes
- From leah at 10/7/2014 2:45 PM
- Why is there a cut out hole? Does this male it a better sleeve or not?
- The hole is where the kneecap goes
- From Denis at 10/7/2014 9:58 AM
- Is there a better option as a under sleeve that can keep the playmaker 2 in place?
- No
You should not wear an undersleeve with this brace. do you have a warp around brace because they do slide compared to the sleeves.
- From Denis at 10/7/2014 8:20 AM
- Hi,
I have two Donjoy Plamaker II for meniscus tears that I use in playing soccer, however the braces tend to migrate down once the leg starts getting sweating.
Would the DonJoy Neoprene Knee Brace Undersleeve could be used under the Donjoy Playmaker II to try keep the brace in place?
- The sleeves are used for rigid knee braces not soft braces like the Playmaker II.
- Hi,
- From Brian at 8/16/2014 1:24 PM
- I have Don Joy Unloader braces for both knees. I am an ultra runner and have attempted a 50km and 12 hr race wearing the braces using an underwrap adhesive to decrease the chaffing under the straps and condylar pads. Unfortunately I ended up with major abrasions in numerous locations. I would like to try one of the sleeves, the neoprene or cotton/lycra, but unsure which one would be better in the summer months due to the amount I sweat and to keep the brace from slipping.
- The lycra/Cotton will be cooler than the neoprene
- From Blake at 6/17/2014 11:43 PM
- I have 2 Defiance knee braces that i wear for wakeboarding. When they get wet they seem to slip down quite a bit. Would the neoprene under sleeve help prevent that? Or is there a better product that you would suggest?
- Blake
You can try the neoprene sleeve under the braces or we alos have some strap bads that have silicone on them to help keep the brace up. http://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-26-piece-of-silicone-strap-padding
- From Sierra at 1/31/2014 10:50 PM
- i play basketball and i need an under sleeve that is comfortable and does not make my brace slip...i just got a brand new brace so there should be no issues with the brace. please help. i need to find an undersleeve that will cover my whole knee and make my brace more comfortable to wear
- The neoprene undersleeve would work better for slipping of the brace than the lycra
- From Wendy at 12/20/2013 3:33 PM
- I would like to get a sleeve to wear under my new brace for long distance running. I worried about the neoprene being too hot?? Is it good for running in warm weather?
- Wendy,
The neoprene sleeve is fairly thin, it is 2 mm thick. If you are worried about heat you can go with the Lycra undersleeve, which is a Lycra/cotton blend. Thank you for your question.
- From Dan at 11/4/2013 11:42 AM
- Does the sleeve have a hole in the back as well? I have a DonJoy
- Dan,
The Neoprene Knee Brace Undersleeve has a cut out for the patella but there is no popiteal cut out (behind the knee). Thank you for your question and for contacting DJO.
- From chris at 5/3/2013 7:29 PM
- which size would you recommend with the following measurements:
thigh 20..5
knee center 15.5
center calf 16
my old one (not a donjoy) was given with my brace like 2 yrs ago and it was a large, it is worn all day under my brace but it now is stretched out and falls.
at the time i got it, it was fine but now not so good, plus i am loosing weight.
If i had to choose on my own, maybe the Med?
- Hello, Chris -
We would recommend that you go with the size Large but if you would like for it to be more snug, you also are on the cusp of a medium (since you are losing weight as well).
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact our product specialists at 888-405-3251.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!

- What were your knee circumference and your calf measurements? The sleeve might be difficult to get on because of the neoprene, If it is snug but not uncomfortable, then it is correct.

- From Jesse at 8/31/2010 11:38 PM
- I have a custom fitted locking knee brace that keeps sliding down my leg with the liner I use. It only stays in place when I use it without the under-sleeve which is very uncomfortable. Do yo have a recommendation for a sleeve that will keep the brace from sliding down with the sock ?
- Hello Jesse,
Have you tried the DonJoy Knee Brace Undersleeve - Supplex/Lycra? Perhaps an alternate material will alleviate the issue.
Another option is the DonJoy Anti-Migration Band For Rigid Braces, which, made of suede, replaces the strap pads on the upper calf strap (#4, 5 strap) and helps to keep the brace suspended on the leg.

New faces of Mormonism on reality TV, Times Square billboards
When I watch TV (and I watch a lot of TV), I am constantly on alert for religious mentions. Even on goofy reality shows, faith comes up and can be part of the "character" producers choose to feature.

PizzaBrain Opening Tonight - Who needs a ride from NYC?
I have two spots open in my pizzamobile, set to leave Clinton Hill (Brooklyn) at approximately 3:30PM today for a quick ride down to Philly and back later tonight. It's the grand opening of Pizza Brain, a pizza restaurant / museum. I've seen the collection and it's amazing. Lots of really cool stuff.
If you want to come, contact me through this form on my website. http://www.scottspizzatours.com/contact
It's just the easiest way to get in touch since I'll check that email more often than returning to Talk for replies.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!
Check out this post for a more thorough explanation, and jump onto our Facebook page or our Twitter feed to keep the conversations going!

Nice! I'm sure this will be immensely useful when finished. I have a few pseudorandom comments: - Have you considered extending the API such that it is able to efficiently support random access archive formats? This would also be useful for sequential access formats such as tar(5) because the library could be extended to generate an in-core hash index for the archive on the fly, speeding up multiple lookups. Java's ZIP interface does this, for instance. - The HTTP and FTP support in libarchive(3) seems superfluous. Applications that need this feature can use libfetch(3) directly. (I realize that similar libraries such as libcomprex(3) do this, but that doesn't necessarily make it right.) - When this is done, I'm wondering what potential impact it might have on sysinstall and the archive format it uses... (not that I really want to reopen that bikeshed)

Step 1: Items:
Nice and easy, only need a can of compressed air with attched directional straw.
And a cheap hotel writting device.
Step 2: Prepare
Attach to compressed air can.
The device is now armed.
(If the can is new, make sure you remove the protective plastic tab...just a little tip from experience)
Step 3: FIRE!
!! Be warned, the pen will fly with a good bit of speed, so be careful. No one needs to get hurt...and of course, I'm not responsible !!
Attached is a cell phone movie.
(my digital camera was way out in the car, so my treo filled in my lazyness)
Also, with some small sticky notes and some tape, you can yield a keyboard duster missile!
**note, still pending proper testing with a wind tunnel for proper operation**
P.S. Think About It
OOH OOH! It might also fit a nerf dart
Cissy...nobody wants to accept responsibility for anything nowadays...
Not, of course, that I am suggesting you are responsible, but merely the way in which you wrote and of course, I'm not responsible !!
Even if somebody did decide to sue you, they wouldn't be able to find you if you used the tor proxy.
All the same, nice and simple instructable.

Journalist Evan Thomas says as attorney general, Robert Kennedy feared he had somehow gotten his own brother, President John F. Kennedy, killed.
Author of a biography of Robert Kennedy, Thomas describes his role in the Kennedy administration and his involvement in the investigation.
The following is an excerpt of ABCNEWS' interview with Thomas:
ABCNEWS: Can you describe the fears in America in the minutes and hours right after President Kennedy's assassination?
Thomas: This is the height of the Cold War. And the idea that a sneak attack from the Russians was very much on people's minds. So naturally the fear is that this was the first step in a general attack by the Soviet Union. Not just ordinary people, but at the top of government, that's the first thing that they're wondering about. Is this an attack to decapitate our leader, so they can come in and nuke us?
We had scared the hell out of each other in the Cuban Missile Crisis the year before. We have to remember that memory of that near miss was still fresh in people's minds.
ABCNEWS: How did the leaders and agencies of our government respond to the Kennedy asssassination?
Thomas: I think the most important thing the United States government wanted to do was reassure the public that there was not some plot, not some Russian attack, not some Cuban attack. It was to calm and soothe fears, real fears, that this was somehow some nefarious Communist plot. And that the number one goal throughout the upper levels of the government was to calm that fear, and bring a sense of reassurance that this really was the work of a lone gunman.
Lost Faith in Government
ABCNEWS: Was there any price that was paid for that?
Thomas: The price was not readily apparent. There was a price to that reassurance, to that soothing, because there was a bit of dissembling. And the bill did not come due until later. But they ended up shoving some things under the rug, covering up certain aspects of government activities, particularly assassination plots against Fidel Castro, that gradually seeped out later. In their haste to reassure everybody, they created an environment that was sure to come around and bite them. Because they covered things up that made it later look like that maybe they were covering up a plot to kill the president.
And so it was a delayed reaction. But when it came, there was a real cost. There was a real cost to faith in government, there was this pervasive and long-running conspiracy theory that President Kennedy had been killed as the result of a plot.
This belief, this belief that the CIA killed the president of the United States — think about that for a second — that our own government killed the president, has given people a sour and conspiratorial and I think ultimately dangerous view of the government. The CIA has done a lot of stupid and wrong things, but killing the president of the United States was not one of them.
I do think, though, that it's inevitable that when a young and handsome and heroic figure dies in his youth there are always gonna be legends and rumors and guesses about why he died. And it's just not good enough to say that some nut with a gun did it. People are gonna want to have a grander, darker, deeper explanation for it all.
Who Killed His Brother?
ABCNEWS: How did Robert Kennedy learn of the events at Dealey Plaza on November 22?

Not sure why so many are down on this novel, but I'm almost done with it, and I have to say, it's one of SK's best. I understand it may not be for everyone, but anyone with an interest and understanding of how society's political machines and power structures really work, I'd suggest it. I've always been fascinated though by power structure (yes, Ive read a lot of Noam Chomsky) and how the machine *really* works behind the scenes, and its abuses and short-comings.
On a person level.... Gina the nurse looked just like an older version of the girlfriend I had in high school, and Jim Rennie looked just like this guy who lived in our neighborhood. His name was Jim too. Both were fat, loved God, and were crooked as a hockey stick.

DURHAM — Eugene T. Curtis, a longtime resident of Durham, found his peace on March 17, 2013. Born in Memphis, Tennessee on October 23, 1927 to Dalton Bolton Curtis and Cora Barnes Curtis, Mr. Curtis was predeceased by his parents; and his three siblings, Dalton, Evelyn, and Shirley. Gene graduated from Humes High School in Memphis and was an outstanding athlete and scholar there.

Jane Daly
HILLSOBORUGH — Jane Daly of Hillsborough passed away on February 12th, 2013 of natural causes. She was 84 years old.
Born in Reading, Pennsylvania, Jane was a mother of seven children and was married to the late Tom Daly, who she had apparently decided had enjoyed peace and quiet for long enough.
A fixture of the Chapel Hill social scene, Jane Daly was the life of the party, a friend to all, an adopted mother to many, and an avid Tar Heel basketball fan. Jane also gained notoriety and the respect of her peers as an outspoken critic of the Duke Blue Devils, which she vehemently disapproved of to the very end.
Jane Daly is survived by six children; 18 grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and the patrons of Pantana Bob's.
A mass is scheduled on Saturday, March 23 at 3 p.m. at Holy Family Parish in Hillsborough, which will be followed by a celebration of Jane's life at Pantana Bob's in Chapel Hill.

Help me correct misinformation spread by Wikipedia.
I just now made this modification to the below wikipedia article,
"Male genital mutilation, more commonly refereed to as" ....circumcision
they keep trying to NOT identify circumcision with mutiliation so they keep on deleting my addition. i tried editing the main circumcision article on wiki but cant.
i changed my edit a bit, it now reads like this, with my addition bolded:
Male circumcision, also referred to as male genital mutilation,....
edit: I see someone put it back to my original edit. fine by me. Though I think the above revision is more conservative a change as it still starts with "Male Circumcision".......

Re: Help me correct misinformation spread by Wikipedia.
That's Jake Waskett your in an edit war with, he makes it his mission every single day to rid any article that even deals with circumcision of any information that might make circumcision look bad. I think he should just give up, he seems to be one of the only ones fighting for this so called cause of his.
But really mutilation is a word that has a lot of negative connotations. To deprive someone of something essential is mutilation, some would argue the foreskin is not essential, essential is (in this instance) a subjective word. Another meaning is to make imperfect by removing or altering parts, again what is your definition of perfect, it is subjective.
I personally think circumcision is mutilation, but I also think it is a subjective POV term. I wouldn't use it when arguing with a parent on circumcision of their child, as they would instantly assume I am an extremist.
I prefer the words amputation of the foreskin, because a) it has negative connotations and b) it is an objective none POV term. Jake though would remove it almost definitely because of the negative connotations.
Re: Help me correct misinformation spread by Wikipedia.
We could call circumcision "optional removal of the foreskin for frivolous reasons". The reasons are objectively frivolous, so it wouldn't be a subjective definition. And it would avoid using the accurate but nasty "M" word.
The real history of circumcision in the U.S. has not been written yet. It looks like Wikipedia won't be reporting the truth about MGM anytime soon. Many computer geeks take Wikipedia as gospel, but Wikipedia doesn't have a lock on the Internet.
When the history of circumcision in the U.S. is finally written, I think it will report its fall as having been due to the Internet, and the bypassing of the mainstream media, with their insistence on official government sources as the only way to produce the truth (an oxymoron right there, if you ask me).
Hard-line pro-circ'ers claim that intactivists are obsessed with foreskin. But if you truly want to witness obsessive-compulsives in action, just watch the
pro-circ Wikipedia geeks constantly patrolling and censoring the circumcision article.
Re: Help me correct misinformation spread by Wikipedia.
Re: Help me correct misinformation spread by Wikipedia.
Female cir is reffered to first as mutilation and cutting, followed by circumcision:
"Female genital cutting (FGC), also known as female genital mutilation (FGM), female circumcision, or female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C)"
I think my edit is very reasonable and and I need everyones help to make it stick.
We ought to call it mutilation because as we all know thats what it is. I spoke to someone ignorant about it yesterday. I did not immediatly use the term mutilation, but as i got into my discussion about i said "its basically mutilation, as a functional part of the body being cut off" I think its more important as least for now NOT to use the word "you" as in. "when you circumcuse, you are are cutting off a functional part..." Using "you" might make the conversation feel like a personal attack even tough its not.
take a look at these one lines of commonly used objections:
please try to think carefully about them and try to make them your own by not copying them word for word when talking with pro circ people. of course using one them word for word is better than not responding at all.
i changed my edit a bit, it now reads like this, with my addition bolded:
Male circumcision, also referred to as male genital mutilation,....
anyone know why i cant edit this page?
Re: Help me correct misinformation spread by Wikipedia.
Seems to me that calling it "mutilation" comes at a certain point in an argument about circumcision (usually when the user of the term is losing his end of the argument), rather than as a term that stands by itself, representing the whole issue. Simple fact is, "mutilation" doesn't represent the whole.
I would rather call it (and have called it) "non consensual circumcision". This more fairly represents the heart of the issue, is less subjective and less immediately inflammatory and polarizing, and this term leads from a fundamental issue (an absent consent of the individual), to other aspects of the issue including a description of what is lost anatomically and in function.
Re: Help me correct misinformation spread by Wikipedia.
I like to call it "amputation of the foreskin" for a few reasons.
Many people do not even know what circumcsion is.
And the word "circumcision" itself is a clinical type of word that hides some aspects, especially since so many in our culture think of circumcsion as just something thaty gets done in a routine way, that is no big deal.
The word "amputation", while not as contentious and value laden as "mutilation" still gets people thinking about what is done and that it is surgery and sounds a lot more signficiant than "circumcision", I feel.

Re: Help me correct misinformation spread by Wikipedia.
Guys, these edits you're trying to make only reflect that you're pissed off about circumcision and want to paint it in a negative light.
Wikipedia is meant to be encyclopedic. Articles revolve around citations, as they're meant to summarize the referenced content. When editing, try to be journalistic - treat it like a documentary, not like something on Fox News.
A more objective sounding idea would be to cite a report on the increasingly activist community opposing neonatal circumcision. I'm sure there are all kinds of news articles available, so it's certainly significant enough to be worth mentioning. All you'd really need to fit it into that small paragraph is a sentence or two, with citations.
Re: Help me correct misinformation spread by Wikipedia.
I agree with greg_b I find amputation to be an unarguable description whereas the word mutilation to paraphrase Obiwan Kenobi depends greatly on ones point of view.
I find it difficult to believe now but at one time I thought what was done to me as an infant was a fortunate happening and a plus of living in a modern western society.
At one time I thought that the poor unfortunate uncut males were somehow not as fortunate as I who had the luck of getting parents who could afford to correct a terrible flaw by nature, by the grace of modern medicine.
This point of view was mine for 39 years I knew no different. If someone had told me I was mutilated I would have thought they were some kind of counter culture anti society radical with some kind of axe to grind with an unknown party and just plain crazy.
i think it was Ron whom I first heard refer to what was done to me as amputation, wow did that get my attention.
Anyway thats my two cents and for what it's worth Now that I know better I also agree that circumcision is not only amputation but mutilation as well however it may be difficult to get the later across to others where as the former is truly a descriptive thought provoking way of describing what circumcision is minus the religious conotations and clinicaly sterile,authoritative sounding description.
Thanks for the information.
Re: Help me correct misinformation spread by Wikipedia.
you have to be smart about it when talking to people. the man i talked to seemed to be open to listening to me because his wife was expecting a boy. i did not initially the mutilation but did so after several minutes of him more or less agreeing with what else I was saying. i do not agree that mutilation depends on "ones point of view". Cutting of a permanent, normal, functional part of the body is the definition of mutilation.

Mortgage rates dipped this week as average fixed 30-year loan falls to 4.31%. / Gene J. Puskar, AP
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average rates on fixed mortgages fell for the second straight week, a welcome sign for homebuyers hoping to lock in lower rates that had spiked earlier this month.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average on the 30-year loan fell to 4.31%. That's down from 4.37% last week but nearly a full percentage point higher than in early May. The rate reached a two-year high of 4.51% two weeks ago.
The average on the 15-year fixed loan declined to 3.39%, down from 3.41% last week
While rates remain low by historical standards, they have risen in recent weeks after the Federal Reserve indicated it might slow its bond purchases later this year. The bond purchases have kept long-term interest rates down.

The purpose of A Guide to Real Variables is to provide an aid and conceptual support for the student studying for the qualifying exam in real variables. Beginning with the foundations of the subject, the text moves rapidly but thoroughly through basic topics like completeness, convergence, sequences, series, compactness, topology and the like. All the basic examples like the Cantor set, the Weierstrass nowhere differentiable function, the Weierstrass approximation theory, the Baire category theorem, and the Ascoli-Arzela theorem are treated.
The book contains over 100 examples, and most of the basic proofs. It illustrates both the theory and the practice of this sophisticated subject. Graduate students studying for the qualifying exams will find this book to be a concise, focused and informative resource. Professional mathematicians who need a quick review of the subject, or need a place to look up a key fact, will find this book to be a useful resource too.
Steven Krantz is well-known for his skill in expository writing and this volume confirms it. He is the author of more than 50 books, and more than 150 scholarly papers. The MAA has awarded him both the Beckenbach Book Prize and the Chauvenet Prize.

About the Author
Steven G. Krantz was born in San Francisco, California and grew up in Redwood City, California. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of California at Santa Cruz and the PhD from Princeton University. Krantz has held faculty positions at UCLA, Princeton University, Penn State University, and Washington University in St. Louis. He is currently Deputy Director of the American Institute of Mathematics.
Krantz has written 160 scholarly papers and over 50 books. At least five of the latter are about aspects of complex analysis. Krantz is the holder of the Chauvenet Prize and the Beckenbach Book Award, both awarded by the Mathematical Association of America. He won the UCLA Alumni Association Distinguished Teaching Award. He is the author of How to Teach Mathematics. He has directed 16 PhD students. Krantz serves on the editorial boards of six journals and is Editor-in-Chief of two.
This is the third book in the imaginatively devised series 'MAA Guides'. These are not textbooks in the usual sense, and neither are they 'handbooks' consisting of lists of formulae, tables and definitions. They are intended for mathematics students in general and graduates and faculty in particular. Each book in the series provides an overview of a particular mathematical topic.
For example, what Steven Krantz has compiled here is a remarkably lucid and concise résumé of the main ideas and methods of real analysis. It begins with a review of set theory, functions, real numbers, and functions and it concludes with an outline of the main concepts and methods of metric space topology. Intermediate chapters cover a range of standard topics, such as sequences, series, topology of the real line, limits and continuity, the derivative and integral. Continued...

Jury Duty is all over - 3.5 months of it. What a stressful, life altering privilege. And with it came 15 pounds. Eek!! See you Friday!ReplyDelete
And here I was picturing all you ladies continuing to lose weight and get fit while I floundered.ReplyDelete
I'm in. See you Friday!
I've grown too, so I'm definitely in. However, I'm going to be away on Friday so may not be able to participate until the following week. Depends on what the assigment is.ReplyDelete
YES!! Thank you! I am IN :)ReplyDelete
SO needing this right now. Back into the saddle myself since the Prince has been gone. Haven't felt like eating, so I'm ready to get back to it!! I'll spread the word!ReplyDelete
I'm in! I'm done with those extra 15 pounds. They've worn out their welcome ;-).ReplyDelete
I don't get to talk to a lot of actual grown-ups during the day, so your comments make me really happy! :)
