Don't Buy These New TVs (yet)
Do you know what technology we spent the most money on in the lead-up to the holidays every year? TVs. After your car, it's one of the biggest purchases you can make. So it's worth paying attention to what's new in TVs at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
4K High Resolution TVS are Everywhere & 3DTV is Dead
The transition to HDTV poured massive amounts of money into TV companies' coffers, and now they want us to upgrade all the time. All the big brands tried to get us to buy into 3DTV, but sales were dismal, and at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, it is hardly visible at all. Vizio, the leading seller of TVs in the US, killed 3D completely from all its TVs.
So the new big upgrade coming down the pike is 4K TV. It's got 4 times the resolution of our current HDTVs, meaning 4 times the amount of visual data can be pumped into every square inch of the set. That bump in resolution is what made your jaw drop when you saw HDTV for the first time. But jumping up to 4K is not as big of an upgrade as that move from standard definition to high definition. It's good-looking, but not revolutionary.
What Does Higher Resolution Look Like?
Don't Buy Yet
Rumored iPad Hybrid Fuels Laptop / Tablet Fight at CES
Is the laptop on its way out? With reports of tablet sales surging and laptop sales declining, you might think so. But between rumors from Apple and new product announcements at the International Consumer Electronics show (CES), laptop makers are beefing up their offerings with new hardware, software, and accessories to try and keep the laptop relevant.
Apple's Hybrid Rumor
A slew of blogs are reporting that Apple may revolutionize the laptop by turning it into an iPad…. well kind of. The loosely dubbed iPad Pro could be a touchscreen iPad running the current mobile IOS operating system, but when docked into a keyboard it could run a full version of the OSX computer operating system that's currently on Apple's Macbooks. The idea is that instead of buying two devices, a laptop and an iPad, you could buy jut one.
This hybrid idea makes some sense. Apple wants you to belong to their ecosystem. Once you buy an iPhone, iPad, or AppleTV, Apple wants you to buy all your media and pay to store all your files within their family of services: iTunes and iCloud.

CES Rumors: Curved TVs, Phones that Flex, and a Surprise from Sony
What new and innovative products will debut to change our lives this year? And what new products won't live up to the hype? Every January brings the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) and an onslaught of new product announcements. The rumors are flying for CES 2014, so let's dig in. And remember, many of these are unverified speculations rolling out before the show, so take them with a grain of salt.
Big, Beautiful, Curved TVs
While TV technology seems to have plateaued, the displays at CES never cease to amaze. Last year, we saw new Ultra HDTVs – also called 4K TVs – with 4 times the resolution of current HDTVs. The winner in my eyes was the combination 4K/OLED TV from Sony. The vivid colors and crisp images nearly made my eyes pop out. The price tags on these 4K sets definitely made my eyes pop out: around $25,000.
So this year the big question is: who has the manufacturing process dialed in to bring the price of these sets down?

Best Ways to Return Gifts Bought OnlineBecky Worley at Upgrade Your Life 1 yr ago
According to a new survey (from Fedex, of all places), one third of Americans will return at least one gift this year. But if there's one thing worse than receiving a bad gift, it's waiting in line at the post office to return it. Good news: in most cases, you don't have to. Here's how to avoid the hassle.
Prepaid Return Labels
If you need to return a purchase or gift from an online merchant, start by going straight to their website. Many offer prepaid, printable labels. Then you schedule a pick up with UPS or Fedex. Easy deal.
For Vendors that Don't Offer Free Return Shipping…
The post office is usually cheaper than UPS or Fedex. But that still doesn't mean you have to wait in line at the post office. You can leave a box outside your door, and arrange online to have the mailman pick it up. For that, just go here.
How Much Postage Do You Need?
If You Don't have a Scale
Best Times for the Post Office
If for some reason, you still have to go to the post office, the lines are usually shortest on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, about a half an hour after they open.
Great Gifts for Under $25Becky Worley at Upgrade Your Life 1 yr ago
Time to get your holiday shopping all wrapped up! To help, here are my top picks for techy and somewhat geeky gifts for less than 25 bucks. (Keep in mind prices fluctuate, as does availability.)
Cocoagraph - $14-$18
What do you get when you cross your pictures with chocolate? Edible photos! Printed on Guittard chocolate, the flavor is so good, your friends and family will eat these up! It takes a 7-10 days to make Cocoagraphs so order ASAP if you need them for the holidays.
Monoprice Battery Backup and Flashlight - $20
Almost everyone can use a back-up phone battery. They've come way down in price, and this one even comes with a built in LED flashlight.
Monoprice Noise Isolating Earphones - $11
Like the backup battery, earphones are something almost everyone can use. And this pair offers excellent fit and sound quality – especially given the price.
Happy holidays. For more gift ideas, follow me on Twitter. I'm @bworley.
Best New Tool to Track Packages
Roughly one-third of all holiday shopping is now done online – and that raises a whole new set of questions: What's the best way to check that all your gifts will arrive on time? What if the price drops – can you get a refund? And if it needs to be returned, where – in your month's worth of junk email – is the receipt?! Good news: There's one great tool that tracks all your purchases for you – automatically.
The Runners-Up
I've tried a number of web services that aggregate purchases and track shipments, regardless of vendor or shipper. Sites like Fara, Boxoh, and PackageTrackr all track your packages, but most don't do a whole lot more than you could do for yourself. With Fara, for example, you need to start by forwarding them your purchase confirmation emails. But if you need to take that extra step, you might as well just put your confirmations in their own little folder yourself. What I want is for everything to be automatic.
Best Tool: Slice
Price Tracking
After you make your purchase, Slice keeps an eye on the price. If it drops considerably, Slice notifies you. That means you can ask the retailer for a refund. This works on over a thousand retail websites. Ka-ching!
Beat Black Friday
Black Friday has really changed. I've been covering it IN DEPTH for the last eight years, and each year, this cat-and-mouse game between retailers and consumers has a different winner. This year, retailers have the upper hand because of something called "deal-staggering." I'll get to that in a second. But if you know the tricks, you can still land great deals – even on rarely-discounted Apple products.
The Best Apple Deals Are Not Always At The Apple Store
Apple has its one sale of the year on Black Friday, but you won't find the best deals at the Apple Store. They're in the big-box retailers:
· iPad Mini $299 at Walmart – How is this a deal? Because they give you a $100 gift card when you buy the device. · iPad Air $479 at Target – same story: the savings come when they hand you a $100 gift card with the purchase. · iPhone 5C $45 at Walmart – plus, they give you a $75 gift card. You actually make money on the deal! · iTunes Gift Cards – Get a card valued at $100 for just $85 at Best Buy. · Macbook Air – $150 off at Best Buy
Shopping on Thanksgiving? Really?
Deal Staggering
What Where When:
50-inch HDTVs
Element - $229 - Target - 8p Thursday

Stop Annoying Phone "Notifications"
Notifications on your phone – a buzz, a beep, a pop-up alert – are fine if you actually want them, like when you get a new text. But what about all those annoying notifications? Do you really want to be interrupted every time an old high school friend posts something inane on Facebook? Good news: Turning off or limiting notifications on your smartphone is easy. Watch the video above to see how.
On iPhones
Go first to "Settings" then "Notifications." Then scroll down through each IOS feature and app and turn off the ones that are annoyances rather than useful alerts. You can also tweak how they appear – as banners on top as pop-ups in the center of the screen. You can even decide if you want them to appear when the phone is locked. Again, the video above shows where in the menus to find these options.
On Android phones
On newer models go into settings, notifications and then turn off the annoying ones. On older versions of Android, you may need to first launch the offending app, then hit the Settings button and opt out of notifications.

Smartphone Device Tracks and SHARES Your Blood Alcohol Level
We've fallen in love with activity monitors like the FitBit and Nike Fuel Band that track your steps and graph how many calories you burn. The quantified life provides insight that can lead to healthier behavior. But would a gadget that tracks how much you drink work the same way?
The BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer – How it Works
The $150 BACtrack connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth. Then you just download the app, enter your gender and weight – and blow into the hand-held device. It gives you a blood alcohol reading that is then saved in your phone. Less expensive (and less accurate) personal breathalyzers utilize a semiconductor sensor, but the BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer uses a professional-grade, fuel cell sensor, the same technology used by law enforcement. That said, no breathalyzer is 100% accurate – defense attorneys routinely challenge their validity in court (blood tests are the gold standard). But while I wouldn't bet my license – or someone's life – on this device, it still offers a number of potential benefits.

Richard Tonkin
/ Rugby
LONDON Welsh head coach Justin Burnell says new performance analyst Richard Tonkin will be hugely beneficial to the club.
Tonkin, who replaces Jon Shelbourne, joins the Exiles after three seasons with Wasps, and has also worked with the South Africa women's sevens team.
"It's great to have Richard on board; he's fitted in remarkably well in a short space of time," said Burnell.
"He's already done some excellent research and he's got a good understanding of what we're looking for.
"He's spent the last couple of seasons at Wasps so he's obviously got a great understanding of the Aviva Premiership and I've no doubt that his knowledge will be hugely beneficial in helping us compete next season."
Tonkin said: "It's exciting; it's a close-knit team here and the new guys seem to be settling in well, and complementing the guys that were already here.
"I'm really looking forward to the new season."

text: primary election Replacing Aaron Schock: Tuesday Primary To Narrow The Field By Amanda Vinicky • Jul 6, 2015 Amanda Vinicky Voters throughout central Illinois on Tuesday will winnow down the options for who will replace Aaron Schock in Congress. Schock, a Republican, left his seat in March following a swirl of controversy, and weighty ethical questions. Shock's resignation forced Illinois to schedule a special election. After a brief campaign, it's time for the primary. Head of the Democratic Party of Illinois, House Speaker Michael Madigan, says Democrats will be "competitive." Lawmakers' Light Spring Calendar Allows For Campaigning By Amanda Vinicky • Jan 29, 2014 Legislators will descend on the capital city Wednesday, to hear the governor's annual state-of-the-state address. It's the first day they'll be in Springfield this year. The General Assembly had a jam-packed 2013. It started with new members being sworn into office, and ended with new laws legalizing same-sex marriage and overhauling state pensions. Unintended Consequences: Illinois Delegates May Still be a Prize Worth Having By David Yepsen • Mar 1, 2012 Wherever you start the selection of an American president, it's going to be a big story with lots of reporters blowing it out of proportion — coverage that then has an impact on subsequent contests in the race. Nowhere does the law of unintended consequences work better than in politics. The coming Illinois presidential primary on March 20 provides an example.

What would you do if your DH told you he was bi-curious?
Nothing would change as long as our marriage stayed the same - monogamous. It's not like all of a sudden cheating would be okay just because he's into another gender as well.
Quoting worwalkerlds:
I would wonder why he never told me before. I am bisexual and he has known that since day 1. I couldn't be with someone who didn't accept me for me.
Quoting overweightmommy:
I'm not sure.... It would take me a while to soak up that info, not sure I could ever believe it.

Who is meaner, ugly people or pretty people?
Or does it just depend on the person?
Pretty people who have never been fat! I know I use to be 278 now size 4 and 150!
Quoting Anonymous:
No waaaay! Uglies are so mean.Quoting misslady80013:
Depends on the person but from personal encounters, I would say pretty people are more mean than uglies.
No one is immune from being a bad person. Rudeness comes from personal insecurity, how one is raised, certain incidents that have happened in that persons life. In my experience, people that I would consider unattractive, seem to be more negative and crude. I've actually never met a mean, "attractive" person, but I'm sure they exist.

Before envisioning dramatic change, the Roman emperor Augustus is said to have warned, "Make haste slowly." The reformer Augustus was eager for radical social transformation. But he also knew he had to deal with generations of Roman tradition and habit -- and thousands of entrenched special interests.
President Obama should heed Augustus' advice before he plans any more doomed top-to-bottom change.
Take his stalled health-care reforms. Rather than trying to turn a largely private system all at once into a huge state-controlled and regulated industry at a time of historic deficits, he would have been better off advocating incremental changes.
Tort reform, for example, would reduce frivolous lawsuits that drive up medical expenses. Or health insurers could be allowed to compete across state lines. Tax credits and grants could focus on the uninsured. The costs of such changes would have been marginal, the savings large.
Instead, a 1,000-plus-page health-care bill had so many regulations that not even its congressional authors could explain all the details or predict their effects. And so President Obama's massive overhaul looks like it will meet the same fate as Bill Clinton's doomed 1993 "comprehensive" effort to remake American health care.
Obama also promised a remake of the war on terror -- including changing even its name to "overseas contingency operations." He campaigned on ending military tribunals, renditions and the Guantanamo Bay detention center. The Patriot Act and Predator drones were supposed to be trimmed back.
Candidate Obama wanted combat troops to leave Iraq in March 2008 and declared the surge there a failure.
That comprehensive "reset" strategy was also quietly dropped. Obama has instead continued almost all the old Bush anti-terrorism protocols. Despite campaign talk of quickly getting out of Iraq and criticizing our supposed terrorizing of civilians in Afghanistan, Obama follows most Bush policies in Afghanistan and Iraq. Loud promises to close Guantanamo, investigate former CIA interrogators and try terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York so far have not happened -- and probably won't.
Unfazed by his health-care implosion, about-face on terrorism and falling polls, the president has promised Hispanic groups he will seek comprehensive immigration reform, and will probably support the Democratic-sponsored "Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America's Security and Prosperity Act."

Bodyboarding News
- 01 October 2009 | Bodyboarding
Day 4 began exactly like all the other days, getting up extremely early and starting the contest in the freezing cold! The venue for day 4 was again at the bone crunching beach break of "Famous Last Words".
The swell was predicted to drop, but when we arrived we found the sight of solid 3-4ft waves yet again! The wind was expected to blow very hard side shore from mid morning, but was light offshore and looking good.
The pro Quarter finals were first in. The low tide was making things tricky with loads of rips and double ups. The riders that made it through into tomorrows Semi's are: Defending Pro Champ, Mark McCarthy (NKZN), Iain Campbell (CKZN), Jonathan Oliff (CKZN), David Lee (SKZN), Adam Waites (CKZN), Terence Pieters (SKZN), Sacha Specker (WP) and Vaughn Harris (BOL).
The conditions started to improve for the men's and junior Quarter finals.
The men's had heaving conditions with 2 leashes snapping in one heat. The riders in the semi finals are: Wayne Beekman (SKZN), Jarryd Van Daalen (SKZN), Jonathan De Lauwere (EP), Ruan De Bruin (WP), Jeffery Davies (SKZN),Rayner Venter (SKZN) and Lennie Muller (NKZN).
Marc Webster (BOL), absolutely blew the competition away in his juniors Semi final heat, busting a huge flip on one wave and a massive invert on another. Storm Prestwick (SKZN) also won his semi final heat. Joining them in tomorrows final are Adam Waites (CKZN), and defending SA Junior Champ, David Lilenfeld (WP).
Tristan Roberts (BOL), was again a huge standout in the boys division. Landing a ARS (Air Roll Spin) and backing it up with a cleanly executed roll. Other standouts were Steven Du Preez (CKZN), Murray Van Vuuren (EP) and Robbie Waites (CKZN).
The expected wind started to show its ugly head and the word on the street was that Farmer Burgers was looking very contestable. The whole contest went mobile and carted off to the break to run the ladies heats.

Day 3 started out as cold as ever. The swell had dropped off considerably and the call was made to meet at the heaving beachbreak of "Famous Last Words". Arriving in the early morning and walking across the freezing sand to check the swell, my feet got so numb that I couldn't feel a thing, infact there were 4 devil thorns stuck into my toe and I couldn't even feel them!
The swell was a clean punchy 3-5ft, breaking close to shore making it the ideal venue for judges and spectators.
The pros were first to paddle out and the first heat of the day saw big moves being dealt out by Sacha Specker (WP), Vaughn Harris (BOL) and Duart McClean (EP). Other pros that scored highly were Bradley Moys (SKZN), Adam Waites (CKZN), Rheinhardt Du Toit (NKZN) and Warren Canepa (EP), who was the only pro rider to score two 300% 's in both his first and second rounds.
By the time the juniors entered the water the wind was on the increase and was going light side-shore, the waves continued to pour in and the guys went all out in their quarter final heats. The riders that advanced through to the semis were Storm Prestwich (SKZN), Cole Dyer (CKZN), Adam Waites (CKZN), Aden Kleve (WP), David Lillienfeld (WP), Bradley Moys (SKZN), Marc Webster (BOL) and Terence Pieters (SKZN).
The men's round 2 heats were held in some testing conditions with wave knowledge playing a big part in wave selection. Martin Ras (BOL), Jamie Higgins (WP), Jaryd Van Daalen (SKZN) and Lennie Muller (NKZN) won their respective round 2 heats.
- 29 September 2009 | Bodyboarding
It was a completely different story when the teams woke on day 2 of the Reef SA Champs.
The wind had dropped off completely, there was not a cloud in the sky and the swell had dropped slightly making the conditions a lot more contestable for all the competitors.
Elands Bay was again chosen as the venue for day 2. A very clean lined up 3-4ft swell was running down the point.
The Pro division was first up with morning glare to contend with. Stand-out riders were Jonothan Oliff (CKZN), Warren Canepa (EP), Duarte McClean (EP), Terence Pieters (CKZN), who is excelled in both the Pro and Junior divisions, and Vaughn Harris (BOL) who pulled a big backflip and duely received a big score.
In the Junior round 2 heats, Andrew Raath (WP), Iain Campbell (CKZN) and Bradley Moys (SKZN) where the riders to all score the highest scores in their respective heats.
Tristan Roberts (BOL) who is 12 years old, again rode the long lefts to perfection in his Boys heat, using the pocket of the wave to execute tight manoeuvres earning him another 300 score to go with his first one he scored in his round 1 heat. Other riders in Boys who received high scores were Steven Du Preez (CKZN), Dylan Bosch (EP), Niklas Martin (EP) and Michael Mynhardt (SKZN).
The contest day ended at 1pm and all the teams went off to Lamberts Bay main beach where the Kumba Iron Ore development clinic was to be held.
The huge Coca-Cola event truck had parked facing the beach which made a perfect stage for the hand out ceremony. Pure ecstasy is the only word to describe the way the kids looked and felt when they received their gear! Each of the 40 kids received a board, wetsuit, fins and leash so that they are totally equipped for their future surfs.
Each provincial team took 6 of the kids out into the waves for their first surf in their new gear. The pictures speak for themselves....pure enjoyment!
The forecast for day 3 looks very promising. The swell should decrease enough for some of the other more "bodyboarder friendly" type waves to be to surfed. This means that a right-hander could be surfed which could open up doors for some competitors to excel and close some for others who preferred left handed breaks. Could make things very interesting.

In the next movie, the mayor will have a nervous breakdown and become Batman's ultimate nemesis -- Batmanuel!
I thought it was an amazing movie both Eckhart and Leger stole the movie from Christian Bale who did an excellent job as well. But I think it was the scenes on the ferries that pretty summed up the movie I loved the fact that the convict threw the detonator out of the window and the other guy refusing to set off the explosives on the other boat. And while was a nice twist having this Joker be something of an agent of chaos and randomness he plans really seemed to be thought out and pretty complex which I thought was something of a contradiction.

Sen. Jim Merritt, R-Indianapolis, reportedly intends to file a bill that would criminalize teenage "sexting" in Indiana. Sexting involves individuals (teens or adults) sending nude photographs or sexual text messages to others.
Several cases in which nude photographs of teens have escaped their control and been circulated widely have been reported in the press. Some states such as Pennsylvania have threatened to charge children caught sexting with child pornography distribution. Most individuals would agree that, legal issues aside, sexting carries the risk of embarrassment and bullying should nude photographs circulate more widely than intended by the originating teen.
As a psychologist and media researcher, I share Merritt's concerns about responsible teen behavior and the potential risks of sexting. However, criminalizing sexting is the wrong response as it only harms teenagers who engage in this behavior more rather than teaching them responsible behavior.
Sexting is a relatively new phenomenon, not because teenagers today are any different from generations past, but simply because the technology is only recently available. Research on this new behavior remains thin, but what exists suggests that approximately 20 to 30 percent of teens and young adults engage in sexting. To date little evidence has emerged indicating teens who engage in sexting are deviant, mentally ill or particularly likely to engage in serious criminal offenses. Put another way, although sexting is unwise, it is normative, and the individuals who engage in these behaviors do not deserve to be treated like criminal offenders (unless the pictures are sent with the intent to harass, which would come under existing sexual harassment laws).
Do we really want 20 to 30 percent of all teenagers to make their way through the criminal justice system when most are otherwise innocent of criminal behaviors? Consider also the expenditure of processing such a large number of juveniles through an expensive criminal justice system. Further, Merritt's reported interest in extending criminalization to adults would almost certainly come up against First Amendment protections.
Criminalizing sexting also puts the criminal justice system in a perplexing situation of worrying about harm to minors but responding by doing even more harm to the very minors they wish to protect. Though most of us would agree that the consequences of sexting can be considerable, criminalizing this behavior produces its own set of substantial, arguably greater, consequences for prosecuted teens. Even a juvenile conviction has the potential to close down career paths that otherwise might have been fruitful, and exposure to the criminal justice system has the potential to criminalize juveniles who otherwise would have become good citizens.
I suggest a better approach to sexting is through increased education efforts. The first line of defense, naturally, should come from the home wherein parents discuss responsible sexual behavior and moral values with their children (research indicates that, unfortunately, many parents are uncomfortable discussing sex with their children). Sexual education in the schools may also augment or reinforce these messages, making clear the possible risks of sexting behavior. Discussions of sexting could become a routine part of sex education courses offered in most school districts.
The theme of protecting children from new media and new technology is an old one, as old as media and technology itself. The good news to parents is that teens today, inundated though they are by television, video games and everything else, are by most behavioral measures performing much better than our own generations did. Youth violence, substance abuse, pregnancy, cigarette use, school dropouts and suicides are all greatly reduced from 20 years ago, whereas scores on standardized testing are up. Put simply, youth today are the healthiest they have been since at least the 1960s.
Certainly, we must educate our children about moral and responsible sexuality. But criminalization is not the answer.

Graduating from high school is as exciting as it is stressful. You're closing the door on one four-year experience while you anxiously wait yet another just around the corner. Many students in our cohort area going to be freshmen all over the country starting in the fall, and I sat down with a Syracuse University professor and PhD student, Rachael Shapiro, to get her insight on how to be the best underclassman you can be.
One of the biggest culture shocks about university life is the difference in scheduling. In high school, you were in one building all day and knew what to expect. As many of you gear up for your first few weeks of college at the end of the summer, it's important to think about time management skills. This is especially important because for the first time, many of you are going to be choosing your own schedules independently.
"Think about your personal rhythms," Shapiro said. "For instance, a person who works well in the morning should be sure to attend to homework then, whereas night owls should block off later hours for work."
Unlike in high school, college students often have breaks in between classes that can last anywhere from 20 minutes to five or six hours. Take advantage of this time, but also be careful of the myth, "I'll get it done on my break."
"Don't put off large projects until you have large chunks of time to attend to them, since sometimes those never comes-instead, maintain a list of large and small projects and use the 10, 15, or 20 minutes between engagements to get started on those items," Shapiro advised.
Having roommates in the dorm room can make studying difficult for some, so it's important to become familiar with your campus right away. Scouting out quiet locales is an important tactic for those who need to get work done undisturbed.

New to fat bikes. Been riding a pugsley for a couple of weeks.
This might be helpful to other newbies. Bike came with a pair of endomorph tires. Front wheel steering had a pulling sensation when you initiated a turn or at times when the trail is a little off camber. I was running tire pressures of 8 to 10 psi.
To day I changed the front tire to a surly Larry. Wow the tire has hardly any pulling sensation. Very please. Will leave the endomorph on the rear.
So what other tires make for good steering tire?

I do not usually talk about health problems in an open forum. However, I have had to overcome several things that would have prevented me from playing guitar for the rest of my life. Because you are experiencing a life changing illness, I would like to share these experiences with you and the other members of the PRS Forum.
In early 2009, I was struck by an SUV while crossing the street at work. The driver was driving over the speed limit and was too busy with her cell phone conversation to realize that a pedestrian had not yet cleared the crosswalk (driving while using a cell phone should be treated the same as driving under the influence). I tried to get out of the way, but a guy my size and age doesn't quite turn on a dime. I braced for the impact by putting my hands out of in front me. The move spun me around the right front quarter panel (fender) of the SUV, which probably saved my life. However, the side view mirror caught my left shoulder and ripped my left arm out of the socket, resulting in a very difficult to repair massive rotator cuff tear injury. Only a small fraction of one of the tendons that holds the humeral head (ball) in the glenoid cavity (socket) was sill intact. The labrum in the glenoid cavity was also badly torn. To say that it was a crippling injury is understatement.
A week after the accident, I aspirated on the operating table and went into respiratory failure during the first surgery that I underwent to fix my arm (aspiration is basically what killed Jimi Hendrix and Bon Scott). I underwent this surgery at a surgical center and had to be rushed to the hospital in ambulance. I can still hear the sound of my children crying when the emergency medial doctors were finally able to revive me in the emergency room. I spent the next five days in the hospital fighting aspiration pneumonia and intense pain from the surgery.
Recovery from the accident was incredibly slow and painful because I had to undergo a second surgery due to the first surgery not holding my tendons together. For a period of time, I was looking at being seriously crippled for the rest of my life because I am left handed, which would mean having to learn how to do even simple things like signing my name and combing my hair with my non-dominant hand. Luckily, one of the technicians who worked with my physical therapist knew the name of a well-respected local orthopedic surgeon who had performed a very difficult surgery known as a reverse shoulder replacement on her father (for those with the stomach to watch, here is a video of this gifted orthopedic surgeon performing a reverse shoulder replacement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpHPOFGV3io). There was no way on God's green earth that I was going to give the first orthopedic surgeon a second shot at ending my life.
I was in a very dark place when I decided to undergo the second surgery. I was addicted to the synthetic opioid that my first surgeon had proscribed by this point in time. I had never been addicted to any substance other than caffeine in my life. Opioid addiction had always been an abstract concept to me. I do not do drugs and only drink socially. I always looked at junkies as weak people who resorted to using narcotics because they could not deal with everyday life. I was very angry about my situation, but I had to push on because I married later in life and still had school-age children at home that needed their father.
The second surgery was the polar opposite of the first. The surgeon had to cut my shoulder loose because I had developed adhesive capsulitis from the first surgery. He then grated cadaver tissue onto my tendons to ensure that there was enough slack to keep them from pulling apart while the injury was healing. However, the coolest thing that he did was to insert a catheter into the surgical site that was connected a ball of local anesthetic, which meant that I was freed from the synthetic opioid monkey. It was the like the difference between nineteenth century medicine and twenty-first century medicine.
A year after the accident, I was about as good as I was going to get via physical therapy. I still had serious problems with internal and external rotation, which are the shoulder movements that one makes when moving up and down the fingerboard. I could only play between the 5th and 9th frets in a seated position (I play guitar right-handed), and I could not wear any of my guitars on a strap because my shoulder could not bear the weight without pain. I said myself, "Well, at least I can play in the key of Am/C." My wife saw something that I did not. I have been playing guitar since I was fifteen years old. She knew that it was something that I was not prepared to give up because guitar has never been wall art to me--it is part of who I am. She suggested that I purchase a lighter guitar, so that I could play standing up, which would allow me to reposition the body of the guitar with my right arm to move my left hand up and down the neck. That's when I purchased my Mira Korina. I did not want to purchase another PRS guitar because my first PRS was a tone dog (tone dogs were more common in the Annapolis Shop days); however, the Mira Korina was the lightest electric guitar that I found that still felt like a real guitar.
When I went for the one-year post-surgical follow-up for my second surgery, the surgeon who performed the surgery and his surgical team were absolutely astonished by the amount progress that I had made (I believe that I had a 30% chance of regaining the use of my arm). I still had a residual disability, but playing guitar on a regular basis had greatly extended the amount of internal and external rotation that I could perform with my left arm. In my humble opinion, playing guitar is one of the best exercises that one can perform when recovering from a serious shoulder injury.
Now, if surviving being struck by a car and aspirating on the operating table had been the end of the story, it would have been enough for a lifetime. However, both my hands went numb in 2010. A nerve conduction test revealed that I had developed severe carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. I had to undergo open carpal tunnel release surgery on both of my hands. I could not fret a chord during Experience 2010 because carpal tunnel release surgery involves splitting the transverse ligament in one's palm. This ligament is what allows one to grip objects. It took about six months to regain my grip strength.
The moral of this long-winded story is that where there is a will, there is a way. If you want to continue to play, you will find a way to overcome your disability. Granted, you may have to change your technique, and you may never play as well as you did before your illness. Even if you can only find a way to play a couple of notes, playing guitar is about doing something that makes you happy. Playing guitar is truly better than OxyCotin. I know because I was addicted to Percocet for a short period of time. Percocet contains the same synthetic opioid as the drug OxyCotin.[/QUOTE
I reprinted this in the quote in its entirety because it deserves to be repeated...This has boosted my morale a thousand fold, that and my sister in law had me come to work with her, she is a nurse in a pediatric oncology ward... I might want to play guitar again...These kids just wanna get a drivers license or go to a prom or see disneyworld.. Perspective....
One other thing...I got a bad staph infection while at sea in my foot so I have a PICC line in the other arm and get Vancomycin twice a day..Plus an auto imunne disorder that keeps my knees , elkbows, and sholders inflamed..it also goes to the plural cavity and gave me Pericarditis while I was in singapore last year.. Em7(I need to look your name up) thank you, thank you..I needed this/. The Doctors all refer me to someone else if I dont fit the parameters of their specialty.. I have five docs now..Its ridiculous.
Im gonna get better..I promise..When I see a little kid face the end so bravely, it makes me feel very guilty to waste my life.
Best wishes to you Dave. Sending prayers your way for healing and recovery.
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
I was once at an appt. with a cardiologist, and right there in the exam room he told me that I had ninety days at the very most left. No gentle lead up to it; he just blurted it out and then sat there looking at me. Then he gave me his opinion on which was the best funeral home in town to use! He offered to get their phone number for me, but I passed. (I also dumped him right after that.) No matter what you are told by someone - a medical professional or otherwise - try to keep a postitive and hopeful attitude, and never give up. Some days that may be next to impossible, but tomorrow get right back to it if you can. The doctors may be the supposed experts, and have this or that data to illustrate their point, but this is about you. Every person is different, every case is different.
Music, as well as every other thing you care about, is part of who you are, and nothing can change that. You may have to make some adjustments here and there, but keep trying and plugging away. The music world is full of examples of people who adapted and overcame disabilities, illnesses, and obstacles, and there is no reason why you can't follow their lead if that's what it comes to.
I don't know anything about radial palsy, so I'm no help to you there. But I am here and available if you need or want someone to talk with, run ideas by, talk music with, whatever. I am with you in spirit all the way. Try to be positive and hopeful, and remember that you have friends who care about you.

This thread humbles me. The stories shared for one another just mesmerize me. We may have our dust ups and disagreements, but under it all there is still humanity and a sense of community.
Gork what you need to gork.
A buddy of mine was severely injured in a motorcycle accident a number of years ago. Has about four months of life that he doesn't remember. He said he got kind of tired of going to new specialists, watching them look at his folder, then say "How are you even here?" He had several docs tell him they had patients die from far less serious injuries.
Lloyd said it - every case is different. Keep asking questions and trying different things. It's not hopeless until you give up.

In 2013 Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club was selected as host of the Canadian Optimist Dinghy Championships and subsequently put on an outstanding event for the 98 young athletes from Canada, the US, Great Britain and Bermuda. After a long year of planning and preparation, the opening ceremonies kicked off the regatta with an incredible showcase of aerial artists as well as an athlete parade.
Regatta of the year - Canadian Optimist Dinghy Championships
Five days of sailing ensued with four days of fleet racing and one day of team racing. Two time Olympian and silver medalist Zach Riley (USA) was on hand as the event coach, as well as Tyler and Kai Bjorn at the Olympian night. There were daily info sessions put on by sport psychology legend Wayne Halliwell as well as a screening of The Morning Light project accompanied by a satellite interview with movie star Chris Branning.
Over 80 club members volunteered their time at this event, high level sponsorship was secured, and elite level coaching was provided to the sailors. 'Run the regatta you would have wanted to attend as a young sailor. Then make it the best it can be with safety and fun in mind.' Sound advice offered by event organizers at RStLYC to other aspiring National event hosts.
Jessica Lombard, Director of the Junior Sailing program and Regatta Chair reflects on their achievement saying, 'Winning Sail Canada's Regatta of the Year award in 2013 is notably special for the Royal St. Lawrence as it falls in a year that our club marks its 125th anniversary.'
Jessica will be in attendance at the Rolex Sailor of the Year awards night on Friday to accept the award on behalf of the organizing committee and Royal St Lawrence Yacht Club.

Chan Lowe: The Internet without real news
The above cartoon is my contribution to a nationwide project called Net Needs News Day, conceived to remind people that, without traditional media organizations to gather and sift the news, the Internet with all its vaunted resources would consist of bloggers sitting around in their pajamas commenting on each others' Facebook postings.
Fellow members of my professional organization (yes, there is one), the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, are drawing their own cartoons to be simultaneously published in newspapers this Sunday. Some cartoons will appear in their home papers, as this one will appear in the Sun Sentinel. To papers that do not have their own cartoonist, we are donating our cartoons so that they can receive wider readership.
This issue is a ticking bomb. At the moment, the specter of a newsless world is mostly the preoccupation of members of media organizations. The average Internet user, who has dropped his newspaper subscription and is accustomed to receiving his content for free, is slow to grasp that news gathering costs money, and that without all that expensively-acquired information, our democratic experiment could quite easily fail.

So I have recently stumbled across a super cute mule. He is just a baby at 5 months and the horse breed in him is QH. Momma was a donkey.
I am toying around with the idea of buying him and training him to do some lower level eventing and jumping. Eventually he would become DH's for trail riding and possibly used in my school as a lease horse. I wouldn't use him as a full time school horse.
Am I crazy for thinking this? I don't have a lot of experience with mules, and honestly they are not that common around here as anything more then a pet.
I have seen that they are rather common in the US as eventing horses. So thoughts? Experience? Please share and help me decide if I want to do this. Thankfully his owner is not in a rush to get rid of him so I do have time to mull it over.

"That poor woman," my friend Penny says.
"What? Why?" I ask.
"She's severely handicapped and can barely walk," she said.
I looked over and saw a young woman, arms loaded with bags of groceries, and a cup with a straw in it clenched in her teeth. Holding the door open with one foot, she smiled and waved at us.
"Aren't we all severely handicapped in some way or another?" I think.
Aloud I say, "And yet she's managing quite well."

Recall Roundup: Nissan Braking System Issue Headlines Latest List of Recalls
This past week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued numerous recalls for a variety of automakers, the largest of which pertains to Infiniti and Nissan crossover SUVs that require anti-lock braking system software updates. The full list of recalls follows, listed in alphabetical order by make and model.
Audi is recalling 1,120 units of the 2013-2014 A8 and S8 models, built from March 12, 2013, to July 15, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the sunroof glass panel may shatter without warning, distracting the driver, injuring vehicle occupants, and increasing the risk of a crash. Starting on October 21, 2013, Audi dealers began replacing sunroof panels at no charge to vehicle owners. Owners with questions can contact Audi at 1-800-822-2834, referencing recall number 60B6/IL. The NHTSA recall campaign ID number is 13V448.
2013-2014 Audi S6 and S7
Audi is also recalling 3,594 units of the 2013-2014 Audi S6 and S7 models. Due to an issue with manufacturing tolerances, the engine's fuel line may leak fuel, increasing the possibility of a fire. To resolve the problem, Audi dealers will install a new fuel line at no cost to the owner, starting at the end of October. Owners with questions can contact Audi at 1-800-822-2834, referencing recall number 20U6/L8. The NHTSA recall campaign ID number is 13V450.
2012-2013 Ford C-Max and Focus Electric
Ford is recalling approximately 23,000 units of the 2012-2013 C-Max and Focus Electric models. These vehicles, equipped with the automaker's Intelligent Access keyless passive entry and push-button starting system, do not emit a warning chime when the powertrain is operational and the driver's door is opened as they are supposed to.
This warning chime is important because these vehicles do not make sound when idling. As a result, the driver may exit and leave the vehicle while it is still "running." In addition to making the vehicle susceptible to theft, another person could enter the vehicle, place it into gear, and the vehicle could move without warning.
To resolve the problem, dealers will update the door chime software at no cost to the owner, starting at the end of October. Owners with questions can contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 13C07. The NHTSA recall campaign ID number is 13V475.

Thank u Sean for the Testimonial :)
I know I'm late but here goes so I had always been curious about Spanking and to be honest had some things I needed to be punished for so I came across Miss Jenifer on Google and read her Profile and did all my research so I finally decided to EMAIL her for an Application and I nervously filled it out hoping it would be approved and honestly kind of hoping it wouldn't as well. She approved my application and we set a Time and Date and I became very nervous and almost backed out of it a few times and she assured me that I wouldn't be nervous after our session so the day of The Session comes and I'm very nervous I leave about 3 hours early to beat traffic, but I'm so nervous I end up going to the wrong Hotel and I immediately think Oh NO she is not going to have our session so I call her and she was very understanding so I rush to the correct Hotel I get there and I finally meet her and she is everything she says she is on her profile I finally for the first time start to feel relaxed and we had a brief conversation then she pulls out the Implements and has me remove my Jeans and get over her Knee she pulls down my Boxers and starts spanking after about a Minute it started to sting she then started using the Implements and it would have been enough for her to stop there but she didn't she used all those Implements and then came the Big Guns she started with a Big paddle which was enough to make me start to want to give up and leave but we were just getting started she then proceeded with the Butt Beater (avoid that Implement if you can) about this time was when I started to sweat badly and then finally we wrapped it up had a great conversation about what to do differently in the Future and I must say it was exactly what I needed I will definitely be seeing Miss Jennifer again and would strongly recommend her to anybody
Friday, May 9, 2014
Thank u for the testimonial Cameron :))
Miss Jennifer,
My visit to see Miss Jennifer for the first time started out with a lot of traffic as I left about two hours before my time to visit with her. A bit of a hailstorm and two to three car accidents along the way got me worried as the time got closer and closer to the time I was to meet her. The time had gotten to be the time when I was supposed to meet her and found that I was still about fifteen minutes away from getting there. I started to worry that Miss Jennifer would really be upset with me and spank me even more so I hurried as much as I can to get there.
I finally got to the hotel and called her and I met her, the funny thing is when I first saw her, I didn't think it was her, just couldn't picture her as a spanker but after confirming to me that she is Miss Jennifer, I got on the elevator with her and she took me up to her room. I was already about twenty to twenty five minutes late but she was understanding some but threatened next time I see her, she would spank me a bit extra if I were late again. We took maybe three to four minutes just to chat and get to know one another. Time being a little less as I was late, we got to the over the knee spanking. She sat down on a couch and had me lie over her lap. She started out spanking me with her hand and at first it felt pretty good. After a little bit of a warmup, she got into a rhythm of spanking really hard and then some lighter swats to help me get ready for the next hard swat. She knows body language and knows just how hard to spank, when to back off and when to push it a bit harder. She is an artist at spanking and it shows when over her lap.
After awhile, the intensity built up quite a bit and this is when she encouraged me to fight thru it and you will be a lot more happier doing so. Usually at this point, this is when I would ask for the spanker to stop as I really haven't pushed myself when being spanked seeing if I can take it a bit harder and longer. I was thankful I gritted my teeth and as I started to sweat some and also cry, the swats kept coming and it just kept on getting harder. Soon enough, I heard her tell me just five more swats and I started to feel good that I endured thru the spanking.
When the spanking was over, she took a picture of my bottom and I was shocked at how good of a spanking I got and was proud of myself for enduring. She talked to me for awhile about spanking and how spankings have been around even during Biblical times and that encouraged me and made me felt a lot more normal. For me, what I love about spankings is the love I feel and the attention I feel from the spanker during and after the spanking. To know someone to take time to spank you makes me feel special and loved.
After the spanking, I thanked her and we talked more about the beauty of spankings and then I thanked her for her time and I left. She is truly amazing! Thanks Miss Jennifer for such a memorable time meeting you.
Your spankee, Cameron

Marine Rescue NSW volunteers will be on full operational alert during the festive season, ready to come to the aid of boaters in need of help on the water.
Port Kembla 30, one of more than 70 MRNSW rescue vessels on duty for the holidays
Commissioner Stacey Tannos said December and January were the busiest months of the year for the 3200 volunteer members of the 46 MRNSW units along the coastline and inland on the Alpine Lakes and Murray River at Moama.
'Our stunning waterways are incredibly popular playgrounds for boaters throughout summer,' he said.
'Many people will be on holidays, perhaps in a new boat and on unfamiliar waters, but our members will be on duty, ready to help when needed.
'The influx of boaters will mean a spike in the number of incidents and emergencies. Last December and January our crews responded to 834 incidents, including 243 life-threatening emergencies – up from 450 assists in the preceding two months, of which 129 were serious.
'Radio operators, boat crews and those providing other vital support roles will be rostered at our units to ensure that we have the necessary personnel available over the season.
'Units will be vigilant, mounting extra patrols on popular waterways to keep a lookout for boaters in strife over this peak season.'
Commissioner Tannos said MRNSW radio operators were gearing up for significant increases in the numbers of boaters Logging On and Off over summer.
'In December and January last summer, our units Logged On 19,128 boaters – more than twice as many as the 9,270 in October and November.
'This service is unique on NSW waterways. Boaters simply radio or phone their nearest MRNSW unit to let them know where they're heading, how many people are on board and when they're due back.
'This will be even easier when we launch our MRNSW smartphone app, allowing boaters to log on electronically.
'Logging On ensures someone responsible knows a boater is out on the water and can quickly start to search if they're not back when expected.
'It's about peace of mind, knowing someone's watching out for them while they get on with enjoying their day on the water.'
Commissioner Tannos also urged all skippers to ensure everyone on board was wearing a lifejacket at all times.
'Nine out of 10 people who drowned while boating in NSW over the past decade were not wearing a lifejacket,' he said.
'Please don't gamble with your safety. Our crews will be on the way as quickly as possible but wearing a lifejacket is the simplest thing you can do to help save your life in an emergency.
'Thousands of people will be out on the water over summer and it's terrible to think that some of them might not come home simply because they couldn't be bothered, were too proud or just didn't think to put on their lifejacket.'

Having a bit of a problem with my air pump. Its a Blackburn floor pump. The issue is the end that goes on the schrader tire vale is sooo snug. I blame it for a popped tube (at home thank goodness!) that I just had to replace. The rim tape is in good shape and I used some emery cloth to smooth down the outside edge of the hole in the wheel. I really don't think that spot caused the cut in the stem, but maybe so.
Is a threaded chuck available, and from where? Just started looking today. Milton and Schraders websites were no help.
Considered some sort of lube, but the threads on the stem seem to keep that from working on a repeatable basis. I have not tried anti-seize.
What am I missing?
