Although I normally do a lot of trail running, I've been road running for the last few months due to weather. Recently, I started having pain in my right hip when I run. I can't put my finger on it and it only hurts when there is weight on that leg (like if I stand on that leg when putting my sock on the opposite foot.) I don't know if it's better to keep running on it or give it a rest. I've been wearing my trail shoes, so perhaps that could be a culprit. Any idea/advice?
I had a similar problem last fall while training for a marathon. I was diagnosed with a hip stress fracture. Initially the doctors thought that I had pulled my groin muscle as it was hard to pinpoint exactly where the pain was, though it was centered around my inner thigh/hip area. However, I could not bear weight on that leg without pain. Similar to you, I could not put my sock on the opposite foot without holding on to something. It got to the point where I could not stand on that leg without holding on to something. It took several weeks to be diagnosed with the stress fracture and then only after seeing an Orthopedist and having an MRI. I was on crutches for 8 weeks and have been back running/jogging now for 2 months but it is slow going. My problem was not figuring out what was wrong soon enough and continuing to use that leg. Perhaps checking with an orthopedist might help.
Advice? Stop running immediately. Take at least 3 days off from running. If you are someone who goes crazy without working out, stick to non-impact exercise such as swimming, cycling (not spinning - standing in the pedals puts too much pressure on your hip) and upper body weights. After 3 days off, try an easy, flat, slow run. If it hurts, stop. If after half a mile you're pain free, go for a mile. Don't go more than a couple miles and ONLY if pain free. If you do have pain in that run, rest another 3 days and try again. If after all that time off, you still hur when you run, go to a doctor.
As the other poster said, hip injuries are often misdiagnosed or hard to diagnose because symptoms of one injury often overlap others. If you go to a doctor, go to a sports or orthopedic doc. Many do both so search for a clinic that has those on staff. Make sure they do more than take an x-ray. They need to do an MRI or bone scan to rule out a stress fracture because many of them don't show up on x-rays.
Good luck, hopefully it is something simple but again, I agree with the other poster that it sounds a lot like the symptoms I had when I had a femoral neck stress fracture. So please be very careful and get it checked out if some rest doesn't make it better.
I think these are the common ones - although there certainly are lots of options for what it could be. I'd get to a doc - especially to eliminate the first bullet.
* Stress fracture. That's the nasty one. As others have said - be really careful. I believe one sign (not definitive) is that if pain increases with activity then you're more likely to have a stress fracture.
* Is the pain on the outside of the hip? If so could it be ITBS? You mentioned more than normal road running. Do you run on the same side of the road all the time? The camber in the road can cause one hip to get more stressed than the other.
* Piriformis Syndrome? When I had this driving really aggravated it. You might try this stretch on both sides and see if you feel a noticable difference.
Good luck.

There are often good intentions behind advice to look for the rare and dire, but it is also a major reason why our healthcare system costs so much. Doctors rightly fear being sued for failing to render a thorough diagnosis, and they know insurance companies won't pay if the cause of patient discomfort appears to be too trivial. Even if it is easy to actually fix, it is usually in their best interest to go through all the slow expensive motions of covering all the bases.
A little knowledge of myofascial pain, however, can save you a lot of time and needless wealthcare.
Every time you stand on one leg, you use more than your hip. If standing were up to the bones and ligaments only, we would all collapse into a pile of them. A few important muscles located on your pelvis that anchor to your hip bone (specifically, to the greater trochanter of your femur) bear twice your weight while standing on one leg. This is because they are at a disadvantage, leverage-wise, in that position. Nevertheless, it is their job to stabilize the pelvis, and when they become injured by running trails, running canted roads, or hopping on the floor pulling socks or pants on/off, they can produce symptoms exactly as you describe and beyond. Since running multiplies G-forces to your foot by three, it is easy to see what a combination of all these activities can do to soft tissue like muscles, long before there is any danger to your much tougher bones.
The two most important of these muscles, Gluteus Minimus and Gluteus Medius, are located between the upper end of the exposed portion of the femur (greater trochanter, which moves up and in while your leg is moving out to the side), and the upper rim of the pelvis between side and rear. Between these muscles are important nerves that when compressed by swelling, can cause symptoms of sciatica up and down the thigh to the knee in extreme cases. Ordinarily, there will be the pain you describe along with difficulty standing straight. You may have a mild case caused by shifting to the uneven (canted) side of the road surface. Trails may be rough, but they usually mix up the gradients better.
This is where the tennis ball cure, which Jim has mentioned in previous posts, comes into play. Take a tennis ball to bed with you and lay on it, positioning it into the area occupied by the Glute Minimus/Medius muscles and rolling it around some. It will help locate any damage to these muscles, stimulate healing blood flow to them, and it won't hurt your bones... you may even find an exiting new bed partner!
Here's a helpful visual aid for locating the minor glutes (click on muscle name)...
I was diagnosed Monday, after an MRI, with a hip stress fracture. My story is identical to yours.
I'm not trying to paint the picture of doom and gloom or predict the rare and dire, however, I'm sure we can all agree that hip injuries are generally, 1) not something to mess around with and 2) unfortunately becoming far less rare. IMO, it is much better to go and at least attempt to get a diagnosis at this point than to continue with self-remedies. I did that for over a month - telling myself that "oh, it's just a muscle strain" until the pain started significantly affecting my gait and I finally blew up in a half marathon and had to walk most of it. I was fortunate that I had a doctor who immediately requested the appropriate tests to rule out an stress fracture because he too was thinking "just a muscle strain" but the MRI showed differently. Again, fortunately, we caught it early and I was only out 6 weeks and then built back up running slowly. Hip injuries can be very serious and to continue to fool oneself into thinking "it's nothing serious" and to self-treat can meet with dire consequences. As for me now, I don't mess around when I feel more than moderate soreness - I go to a doctor and I find out what's going on. I don't want to risk the rest of my running life because I didn't make a wise decision to find out early what is wrong. With hip injuries, I'd rather be over-cautious and find out nothing is really wrong than to continue to mess around and potentially get myself really hurt.
Don't get me wrong, I very much respect your opinion and think you give great advice, but having suffered two hip injuries in two years, it's better to not mess around.
I have to agree with HeatherW...I too waited way to long to see someone that could properly diagnose my hip stress fracture. I too thoght I had just pulled a muscle and although cut back on my running was still doing a significant amount of walking. By the time I was diagnosed it had gotten pretty bad and took several months to heal. Unfortunately, my doctor told me that he was seeing more and more women coming in with stress fractures and that women tend to be more prone to these types of injuries. I hope everything works out for you....
I third HeatherW's advice. If you haven't already done so, stop running immediately and give yourself some time off. If the pain doesn't improve, then start the medical process. My story? I was training for a half and while I was out on a simple and easy run I had pain. I gave myself a week off. It didn't get better. I could no longer run. Meanwhile, I felt relatively fine walking. After going through the healthcare rigamarole of seeing a PCP first, an orthopedist, a long wait to get an MRI, a referral to a hip specialist, months of therapy, I just had surgery to repair my hip labrum and osteoplasty to prevent my hip from injuring this muscle lining again. Best of luck to you. You don't want to mess with this.

I've legally been adult for more than a decade now, but sometimes I don't feel like one. By obsessing over video games or picking the latest-starting classes in college, I spent years delaying the inevitable move to responsibility. While I did have a lot of fun in college, adulthood has its perks. One perk I've recently become more conscious of is the ability to give back. Specifically, this has come in the form of two families my Sunday School class adopted for the holidays. Both families were directly affected by the May tornadoes. I'm a graduate of Moore High School. I was attending Moore Public Schools when a tornado went through the city on May 3, 1999. I say that to say I've experienced the damage major storms can do my whole life. Immediately after this spring's storms, someone I respect shared an idea that's been rolling around in my head lately. They said eventually the spotlight would move elsewhere and more work would need to be done in the coming months and years. That brings us to the holiday season. This is the time of year most folks are either loads of goodies or stretching what they have to buy an extra gift for someone they care for. For my wife and me, gifts are purchased for each other, our respective parents, siblings, nieces and nephews. We don't have kids (human ones that is). So it was really cool when the chance came up to buy gifts for someone half our age that has quite possibly lost everything they owned. Of course that meant browsing the toy and entertainment sections of our local Target. I have to say that it was awesome looking for something that someone else wanted. It also gave us a chance to get some ideas for the above list of family members. I'm looking at you nieces and nephews. Here's to a holiday season of giving great gifts!

Manufacturers are offering to help you sell your old airplane when you purchase a new one. Should you let them?
Bizav Basics » Acquiring & Selling

July 20, 2014
Given the complexity of the deal and the money at stake, making a business aircraft change hands can seem almost like an act of magic. And as in Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice, acts of this sort are best left to professionals—specifically, aircraft brokers and their teams.
July 10, 2014
As soon as its first owner departs from the manufacturer's delivery center, a new airplane technically becomes used (or preowned). For various reasons, however, 10 years after an aircraft's final production date is generally considered the milestone separating "newer" used business aircraft from "older" ones.

Here's a look at the world's leading business jet manufacturers and their current and upcoming models.

As inventories decline, a buyers' market may be fading.
June 27, 2013
Buying a business jet can be a smart move, but you can make lots of mistakes on the road to ownership. Here are eight of the most common blunders, plus advice on how to avoid them.
March 19, 2013
Once upon a time, the vast majority of business jets were owned and operated in the U.S., but that's changing. Residents of other countries represent an ever-growing segment of the market, and the business of buying and selling corporate jets is increasingly international. In fact, a majority of factory-new aircraft these days are delivered outside the U.S.
July 3, 2012
Perhaps you like the idea of shared aircraft ownership but not the costs and flight-time limitations that accompany a contract with a fractional provider. If so, you may be a candidate for a deal in which two or more private parties agree among themselves to share an aircraft. Such an arrangement can give you access to a business jet almost on a par with whole ownership but at significant cost savings. No one knows for sure just how many shared jets are flying.
March 26, 2012
中文内容请参看下面的PDF文件 As with real estate, the options available to business jet travelers fall into two main categories: rent and own. Civil aviation regulations around the world dictate this.
November 9, 2011
"While the preowned business aircraft market continues to show improvements, all indicators have been slow to recover in the first nine months of 2011," according to the latest report from industry research firm JetNet.
"The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated. "

Oh mon dieu! Look what found me yesterday at the thrifts, a Yashica-D TLR camera! It's an intimidating little fella, isn't it? Ever since my Seagull TLR broke, I've been on the hunt for a new one. I'm thrilled to find it just in time for my Paris adventure.
I know I've been going on and on about Paris, well, today's the day! I am wicked excited! I like to travel light but I do go a little nuts with the cameras. Luckily, I found this nice bag for $2 to carry them around. It was a tough one but here are my camera picks for this trip: Polaroid SX-70, Konica C35, Olympus Stylus Epic, Yashica-D TLR, and the iPhone. A good mix of cameras, no?
Thank you (Shannon, Anna G., and Tara) for all the wonderful tips on flea market finds in Paris. I'm also using this wonderful guide from design sponge to navigate the city of lights. I'm only there for two days so I hope to cover as much awesomeness as I can.
Both weekend jukebox and weekend inspiration sections are set to post while I'm gone. Hope you guys enjoy them. Have a fantastic, thrifty weekend everybody! See you all very soon. Au revoir!

Have a wonderful time in Paris! London is my favorite city in Europe, but Paris is also glorious - I've been lucky enough to visit twice but it rained both times... someday I'd like to go back and enjoy the city in the sunshine!ReplyDelete
Oh, how I wish that I could pick up some great cameras at the thrift stores around here...but I'm intimidated by ALL of them. I don't know a thing about a thing.ReplyDelete
Have fun in Paris!!!
Yashica D--so jealous! I've been searching around town for a working TLR with no luck. It looks like you found yours at the perfect time.ReplyDelete
That's a great mix of cameras for your trip. I love my Konica C35! It's such a nice size and nobody really notices it or pays any attention when I have it out. I can't wait to see all of the great shots you get in Paris.

I'm sure you'll have a great time!ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see the results!
Have a safe trip dude! Drop me a line if you are free and we can hook up!ReplyDelete
Have a fantastic trip!ReplyDelete
Thanks everyone! It's gonna be soo spectacular-spectacular!ReplyDelete
That is a really lucky find and great bag too! I'm excited to see all your photos, safe travels. Don't forget to not let airport (or museum) security xray your film!ReplyDelete
Bon voyage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete

OKLAHOMA CITY - The Edmonton Oilers have assigned centerman Travis Ewanyk and defensemen Martin Gernat and David Musil from the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League to the Oklahoma City Barons.
Musil was acquired by the Oil Kings in a midseason trade with the Vancouver Giants. In 60 games between the two clubs this season, the 6-4, 203-pound Musil scored 31 points (9-22-31) and served 74 penalty minutes. In 22 playoff games, he registered six assists. Musil was the Oilers second round selection (31st overall) in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
The 19-year old Gernat has played in 83 games with the Oil Kings over the last two seasons. In those games, he registered 68 points (12-56-68) and served 60 penalty minutes. During the 2013 WHL playoffs, Gernat was the top scoring defenseman on the Oil Kings squad with 17 points (6-11-17) in 22 postseason contests. Gernat, a 6-5, 191-pounder from Kosice, Slovakia was the Oilers fifth round selection (122nd overall) in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Ewanyk, a 6-1, 184-pounder from St. Albert, Alberta was the Oilers third round draft choice (74th overall) in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. This season, the 19-year old played 58 games with the Oil Kings, scored 23 points (8-15-23) and served 119 penalty minutes. He played in 22 playoff games for the Oil Kings this season and registered 10 points (6-4-10).
The Oil Kings were eliminated from the WHL playoffs in the league final by the Portland Winterhawks in six games.
The Barons are locked in a tough playoff series with the Texas Stars. Game 4 of the series is in Oklahoma City on Wednesday, while Game 5 is Thursday in Oklahoma City. Both games faceoff at 7 p.m. at the Cox Convention Center. The games can be heard on the Barons flagship station, 96.1 KXY or viewed on a pay-per-view basis on AHL Live.

so, I have done purpose rips of DVDs specifically for the PS3. They are in MP4 format and avi format. When I try to play the native files the files will play for a moment and I start to get "A Network error has occurred (807107736)" which results with the file paused and an error on the center of the screen "This content cannot be played. (800288D8)". Now I know if I load this file directly to the PS3 it will play fine. When I play this file through the mencoder it works great. Any idea why its giving an issue when playing Nativity?
This happened with the default settings in the program. All I have changed so far is to enable it for my multiple core mac pro. Any help is appreciated.

Between his dinner sleigh ride gigs, Friday nights at the Blue Spruce Inn in Frisco and regular appearances at preschool story time at Summit County Libraries, local singer and guitarist Randall McKinnon estimates he puts in 250 nights a year. But it's a labor of love from which he hasn't strayed since embracing his calling 20 years ago.
He'd always dedicated himself to noble causes - including doing a stint in theology grad school in Denver before serving as a minister, executive director of the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center and social worker in child protection for Park County - before deciding to make a go at a full-time music career.
"The last year I worked for Park County I played 180 nights; it led me to believe I could probably make it work to play music full-time," McKinnon said. "I worked in churches for eight years and then decided there were other ways to do good in the world. I try to live up to that with volunteer work."
Ask him when his next performance is and if it's peak season, the answer is usually "tonight," but that doesn't keep the 25-year Summit County veteran and Silverthorne resident from volunteering with Summit County Libraries' reading initiatives.
"He is known as 'Mr. Randall' to hundreds and hundreds of Summit County kids, probably over a thousand by now," said Summit County Library trustee Dan Taylor.
That's because McKinnon is a regular sight at the North Branch Library in Silverthorne, in addition to appearances at the South Branch Library in Breckenridge, where he graces the library's preschool story times once a month. The library staff comes up with the program themes and McKinnon often tailor-makes songs to accommodate, putting new lyrics to old kids' favorites like "Twinkle, Twinkle" or "Mary Had a Little Lamb," with topics ranging from holidays and dragons to underwear.
"This warmhearted and gentle giant of a man has shared the joy of his music with hundreds and hundreds of tots and teens, with whom he has a special and wonderful rapport," Taylor said. "They will long remember his harmonies and lyrics."
"Out of respect for my great age and gray beard, I suppose the kids call me Mr. Randall," acquiesced McKinnon, who was recently awarded the 2012 Van Woodford Service Award for long-term, dedicated and exceptional volunteer service to the library.
"I was tremendously honored to receive that kind of recognition from the library board," McKinnon said. "I've just been doing it to help out. I get my payback every time I show up." He also assists library staff in spring, visiting area elementary schools to encourage kids to participate in the summer reading program.
Professionally, McKinnon plays the dinner sleigh rides at Keystone Stables on Sundays and Tuesdays, Four Eagle Ranch in Eagle on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays and the Blue Spruce Inn, his most public appearance, on Fridays.
"I don't go into a gig with a definitive setlist, and I take requests," he said. "I've got a vibe that I want to create." On a dinner sleigh ride, depending on who shows up, he might bust out some cowboy songs or John Denver tunes - whatever it takes, he said, "to help create that sense of place with the music. The playlist may be the same, but how those pieces fit together for that particular audience is my craft. That's something that keeps it fresh for me."
After many years playing guitar - from his roots in rural Arkansas to playing "music that belongs around the campfire in the mountains" - McKinnon has taken a shine recently to the mountain dulcimer. It's a fretted string instrument of Appalachian origin that generally has three to four strings, and McKinnon has crafted several himself.
At 4 p.m. Sunday, he will share his handcrafted dulcimers, which are currently on display at the County Commons in Frisco, and discuss and play the instruments as part of the free artist speaker series from Summit County Arts Exhibit Committee. Guests can expect songs from old Appalachia, some of McKinnon's dinner sleigh ride tunes and Colorado-themed pieces at the event, which takes place at the commons.
"When you're an entertainer you're really working on bringing joy to folks and that's really what I'm about," McKinnon said. "I enjoy being part of people's vacations and helping make their experience in Summit County special and memorable."
"The community stuff that I do is because this is my home," he added. "That sense of community is important to me; it really is."

During my 15 plus years of service in 3 branches of military, the amzing thing was that I never worried about getting medals. I just figured if that was what was meant to be it would happen, wouldn't go looking to be a hero. For 3 years in the Army, 12 years in the Corps, I stood my watch, was part of the military apparatus that responded to the bordser in Germany. Our mission then was to delay the Russians from advancing and taking over Europe. This was accomplished with training, training, training, and deployment. Every time the alarm went off, is this a drill or the real thing this time? Never knew, back then didn't care that much, just wanted to do what I was trained to, prevent the spread of communism. I think it worked. If the big head in DC are itching to give out a medal for sacrifice & devotion to duty, then why the Cold War veterans. How many men and women served for how many years to that goal? For restaint, humph? I say Mr Obama, give me back my flag.

Should a medal be awarded to U.S. troops showing restraint in hostile situations in Afghanistan?

Tyoical of everything Obama does this is yet another attempt to tear down the fabri of this country. From holder to napoitano to hgealth care this mulim president is a disaster.
This assinine medal proposal by his liberal euopean buudies is another attempt to belottle everyting we have fought and died for. Kick the basrard back yo the projects of chicago.
This is the most lame brain idea i have heard of since the days of Adm. Zumwalt's lax disciplinary standards.
This medal, if ever approved, will be awarded posthumously 90% of the time and for photo ops the remaining 10% of the time!
We don't need more medals just a little respect and better political leadership from the top or as the Queen of Hearts said " Off with their heads" as in Nam how the he-- do you know who is the person ambushing you and your friends, say" wait until we get proper recognition orders before we can return fire"
Should a medal be awarded for Pentagon officials or politicians who come up with the stupidest ideas?
I've got a daughter that's a medic.
The last thing I want to hear is someone getting a medal for showing restraint instead of covering her A$$
How do you know which is the enemy and which is the civilian? they dont wear uniforms.
If this keeps up the next thing will be a medal for using less toilet paper.
The object in fighting a war is to destroy military targets and in the process there will be civilians that are killed or wounded, but that is part of being the enemy.Unfortunately we have people in leadership rolls in Wash.DC, starting at the top - who have no idea of what's it's like on the front lines and have handcuffed our fighting men to the point of becoming targets them-selves by an enemy and people that don't want us there in the first place.Most of the leaders forget about WWII,Korea and Vietnam and the tactics used by innocent looking civilians to kill our soldiers. A lot weren't even born yet and evidently didn't pay attention in History class or read accounts of those that were there.
I agree that the awarding of medals for merely conducting oneself in a military manner would diminish the significance of exceptional performance. What I CANNOT understand is why the American Legion has consistently opposed any movement to recognize those who stood in HARM'S WAY during the early stages of nuclear testing; i.e., the "Atomic Vets". I am one such.
Lawrence A Scrivener
What will our so called "leaders" dream up next for our hard pressed soldiers ? We are not allowed to fight a winning fight as it is . Why shouldn't we just throw down our weapons and walk away ? That way , the only one getting hurt will be us , because God Forbid , we are certainly not allowed to inflict even a hard stare in the enemies direction .
Lets allow our politicians to trade in their designer clothes for some combat gear and spend a few days and nights on patrol before they can qualify to make such stupid decisions .
I assume the ribbon will be yellow.
This is of course from the same military that brought you "waaaaaaa this will screw up our diversity program" following the Fort Hood massacre.
This is the same military that following Congressman Murtha's lead court martial a Marine platoon.
Again, this is the same military that court martialed three Seals for "punching" a "prisoner".
I realize our military is at the very end of the WDC food chain. But this kind of slobbering adherence to the world of PC is disgusting.
Since at least WWII, soldiers and marines have had to use "restraint" in civilian situations. We have never been allowed to just spray an area known to have civilians with gunfire. It is called Rules of Engagement. If you follow those rules and don't die, you are just an ordinary soldier. If you die because of those rules, you come home with a CMH award and are buried as a hero. If you kill civilians by violating those rules you are court martialed. How on earth do you get a medal for following rules? Shall we get medals for marching in line correctly? How about a medal for properly wearing our uniform? How about maintaining your individual weapon in proper working order? How about not killing your superiors for giving illegal orders? The weasels in the White House need to grow a pair, maybe spend a week with an infantry squad in Afghanistan. Besides, being offended by this "medal" it makes me feel sad for our current brave soldiers that know this is bogus.

SAN ANTONIO – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team suffered a pair of losses today on the second day of the UTSA Mid-Major Classic at Roadrunner Field. After falling 12-6 to Nebraska-Omaha earlier today, the Islanders dropped a 10-4 loss to host UTSA in the nightcap.
The Islanders will conclude play in San Antonio tomorrow at 9 a.m. against Bryant. The Islanders topped the Bulldogs 9-6 in the second game on Friday.
For the latest information, follow Islanders Softball on Twitter and Instagram (@IslandersSball) and Facebook (Islanders Softball).
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team finished in double figures in hits for the fourth straight game with 12 hits, but a late surge by Nebraska-Omaha lifted them to a 12-6 victory over the Islanders.

Food and wine, Hollywood attire and a selection of short films from the 2012 Breckenridge Festival of Film make for a festive evening Saturday at Beaver Run resort in Breckenridge. An annual event, Hollywood & Wine raises funds for the Breckenridge Festival of Film (BFF), the four-day independent film fest that celebrates its 33rd year Sept. 19-22. Although the festival has taken place in June the past few years, this year it returns to a fall schedule. "Film lovers appreciate the wide variety of movies, forums and parties throughout festival weekend and the ability to interact personally with artists and filmmakers," Phyllis Martinez, one of the festival's founders, said of the Breckenridge Festival of Film, which is supported by grants, sponsorships, contributions, in-kind assistance, revenue and fundraisers. Last year, Hollywood & Wine raised more than $4,000 for the BFF. Saturday's Hollywood & Wine event features food, wine, beer, popcorn, a movie trivia contest and a silent auction, with auction items including a night's stay at Ojo Caliente, tennis lessons, golf passes, tickets to the Denver Center for Performing Arts, trekking poles, an alpaca wrap and more. The evening also features five short films from the 2012 festival, in addition to a surprise film. Tickets are $35 and proceeds benefit the 33rd annual Breckenridge Festival of Film.
The Game (6 minutes): The game is chess; the referee is a figure no one wishes to meet; and the high-stakes prize is a gateway to the world of the living.

Designed from the ground up for professional photographers, Aperture provides everything you need for after the shoot, delivering the first all-in-one post-production tool for photographers.
Required OS: not specified
Tags: raw , productivity , photography , photos , pro
19 Opinions
Aperture does now support the LX2, as noted on http://www.apple.com/aperture/raw/cameras.html
One problem with aperture is that camera raw support apparently has to be included with OSX updates, not aperture updates, as OSX just inherits the knowledge. It took 6+ months for my Leica M8 to be included. Maybe this will change in subsequent releases.
1.5.3 is much faster than 1.5.0, which in turn was much faster than 1.0. It runs plenty quick for me these days.
aeko didn't even indicate what sort of problem was actually taking place, and you simply assumed that it was because he or she was using the direct connect camera mode. Sounds like, based on this review (http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/panasonic/dmc_lx2-review/), that even Adobe's camera raw wasn't supporting this model as of October (don't know about the more recent version 4.0). There are some camera models that are NOT supported by Apple's RAW backend, most of them being point-n-shoots that support RAW. They've mainly geared RAW support towards the SLR market, and it's a bit of a shame that there isn't more of a broad spectrum, but I'm not sure if it's entirely Apple's fault, it may be that Panasonic isn't forthcoming regarding their format, but who knows.
Good news Aeko - Aperture actually supports every camera ever made... it uses a handy little utility called a card reader. ;o)
Do yourself a favor and stop connecting your camera directly to your computer. It's a waste of time, and is inevitably much slower than a dedicated reader. You can pick up a super fast dedicated reader for your type of memory card at virtually any computer or camera store for around $25 - $30. Or if you spring for $40 - $50 you can get a multi-card reader that will handle just about any camera you'll ever own. It doesn't make sense not to.
I have a Panasonic LX2 camera and though I would love to use Aperature, Apple hasn't taken the time to create support for anything other than high-end cameras. I would argue that many professionals would carry around a small camera like mine as an alternative discreet camera. Totally ridiculous.
Aperture allows awesome RAW workflow.
It does like a powerful machine, however. I run it on MacPro 2.6 w/Radeon 1900XT & 5G RAM. It flies.
I've used lightroom, Photoshop, Nikon Capture and a host of other programs. I've finally found what I'm looking for with Aperture If you have Raw files and are looking for a way to simplify the workflow, aperture is a perfect fit. Of course you will still need photoshop if you are going to do heavy-duty photo manipulations (i.e. cutting out parts of photos and using them elsewhere). But if all you need is workflow and standard Raw corrections, Aperture is perfect.
Works wonderfully on my PM G5 (dual 2GHz) w/ an X850 and 4GB RAM.
Truely inspiring in surprising ways, the nested tagging particularly.
A 1.25 GB Albook is an old, old computer. I'm sure a Macbook Pro would do fine, with enough RAM.
v1.0 was unusable on my 1.25GHz AlBook w/ 1 GB. RAM.
v1.1.2 is still infuriating slow at times but definitely usuable and this is on the lowest spec machine it will officially run on.
It can't be matched for sorting out 'selects' from 'discards' after a shoot. RAW output is acceptable now and can only improve. Could do with a decent plugin architecture so I can use Noise Ninja within the app!
It was a good move on Apple's part to lower the price for this application. And despite some early issues involving RAW files (GASP!), this is an excellent app and very user friendly. Well worth the money if you need to manage massive amounts of photos and their information. Plus Aperture offers some great photo albums you can't get with iPhoto.

Reasons to not vote for Charlie Wilson
When Obamacare was being debated, old Charlie disappeared. No town hall meeting like the others were having. He was doing conference calls. He was in full support of the bill before it was even finished even though a majority of his constituents were against it. h is why he lost the last election. However, The one thing that is UNFORGIVABLE is he voted for the Obamacare bill before he even read it or knew what was in it. He voted for it because Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi told him to. We cannot afford to have a REP who is not will to represent the will of his constituents.

Aiken, SC--It could be an interesting year at South Aiken over the next three and a half months. A tough schedule lies ahead but the Thoroughbreds have a squad capable of playing with just about anyone. They'll push some people to the brink and a bunch of wins could be in the offing.
It'll start on offense where Bo Baldwin is back from injury to run the show. He was under center for both wins last year and is capable to run the offense. He won't be alone. With a new offensive coordinator and a solid line featuring Justin Day, there's experience up front. Coach Jeremy West is liking where this squad is at.
"There's been some bright spots on both sides of the ball and we're pleased with where we're at. We have a long way to go but where we're at right now, we're way beyond where we've been in the past." said coach Jeremy West
A solid defenisve backfield should help some inexperience up front and that could go a long way in the fourth quarter. Last year South Aiken was outscored in most of those ballgames late. Everyone knows it and thats where conditioning comes into play.
"As long as we have the guidence of coach West, we can finish out ballgames and win some games and get it done." said Terell Johnson "Being a senior, it doesn't really change anything, every class, everyone works hard on this team."
"We just got to be conditioned for all four quarters, besides that, I think we're ready to hit the road and get things going." said Teddrick Steadman "We're confident in every position that we have. We're pretty big this year and we haven't had a good line, it's been a while, since my freshman year, so we're pretty confident in those big guys down there."
Despite a two win season a year ago, confidence is sky high at South Aiken and their number one goal is to make the playoffs. Get through some early tough games healthy and reaching that goal should be within reach.

For the fifth time this season, the CCC volleyball team played a match on the road. This time, the Tigers travelled to Moberly, Mo., to take on Central Christian College of the Bible, a NCCAA Division II school.
After four frustrating performances that included being swept in three matches, the Tigers finally came away with a sweep of their own. The Tiger defeated CCCB 25-11, 25-17, 25-14.
The Tigers received word at practice on Friday afternoon that the eligibility of sophomore transfer, Mayuko Shono, a 5-foot-9 outside hitter, eligibility had gone through.
Shono quickly made her presence felt on the court leading the Tigers with 12 kills on 19 attempts with just 1 error.
As a team, the Tigers recorded 36 kills on 70 attempts with 6 errors for a .460 attack percentage.
Defensively, the Tigers had two players with double digit dig totals. Sophomore libero, Kathryn Lott, led the way with 14 digs, 10 service receptions, and just two receiving errors.
Brittany Bergstrom was right behind Lott with 10 defensive digs. She received serve three times and had zero reception errors.
Besides hitting well, the Tigers also served very well. The Tigers served 65 times and recorded 17 aces and just 7 errors.
Bergstrom had a great day serving with 5 aces and 2 errors.
"Really proud of the way the girls played today," Tiger coach Christina Ludwick said. "Our offense finally clicked and our hitters were putting the ball away. We're looking forward to some time off this week to continue to fine tune and build off of this win."
The Tigers are now 1-4 on the season. They have about a week off before going back on the road for a triangular at Hillsdale Baptist against Hillsdale, and Champion Baptist on Saturday.
The Tigers will play at 2:00 and 4:00 pm.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Colin Kaepernick's "hot hand" has cooled, but that's not the point, anymore.
Lukewarm Hand Kap is Jim Harbaugh's man, he's the 49ers' quarterback, and it's on him to grind through tough games and win.
Which is what Kaepernick managed to do Sunday in his fourth NFL start, and yes, "manage" is exactly the right word.
On Sunday, Kaepernick managed the game, kept the 49ers offense out of trouble and had some frustrating moments, too.
Then -- voilà! -- Kaepernick broke off a stunning 50-yard read-option touchdown run to seal the 49ers' 27-13 victory over Miami at Candlestick Park.
"He made a good read -- everybody came to me and Mr. Everything did his thing," running back Frank Gore said.
Basically, Kaepernick was Alex Smith-plus: A steady QB who also can run or throw for a TD at any random moment.
All of that explains why Kaepernick is playing and Smith isn't, even though Smith can do many of these things and has done them often.
Kaepernick is playing because of the "plus" part, even if that's only one bonus play a game.
"Thought he managed the game well," Harbaugh said of Kaepernick, who completed 18 of his 23 attempts for 185 yards. "Thought he did a good job, generally."
Hmm, does that sound like a description of another 49ers QB you know?
On Sunday, it wasn't all offensive fireworks for Kaepernick; quite frankly, it wasn't all very good.
"I wish I had a few throws back, a few different decisions," Kaepernick said.
He lost the ball on a sack on the fourth play of the game -- luckily for him, 49ers right tackle Anthony Davis recovered -- and the Dolphins defense seemed to confuse the second-year QB at times.
The 49ers burned several timeouts when the play clock was running down just as Kaepernick got the offense to the line; they were out of timeouts for the final 14 minutes of the game.
Meanwhile, Kaepernick was sacked four times, and the 49ers didn't score a touchdown until Miami set them up by losing a muffed punt.
"We got beat a couple times, just got beat up front," Harbaugh said when asked about the sacks. "And one time for sure he got fooled by the coverage."
Of course, Kaepernick came within a blink (or an uncalled pass interference) of a deep flea-flicker bomb to Randy Moss in the third quarter.
But NFL games are mainly won and lost on third down, and the 49ers converted only one out of their first nine third-down tries in this game.
Then, on their 10th third down of the game, it was third-and-5 at midfield with just over two minutes left and the 49ers hoping to kill the clock.
Kaepernick, who hadn't run much all game, faked to Gore going right and galloped around the left side, past a few defenders, and just glided into the end zone.
In celebration, Kaepernick kissed the tattoo on his right arm and -- this is so Kaepernick -- hours later tweeted a picture of the moment with a comment:
"Score a touchdown, kiss your tattoo. Kaepernicking."
And there you go: man of few words with the media, but fascinating everywhere else.
That's the 49ers' offensive catalyst now -- it's not a bad thing, it's just different.
No, the 49ers offense is not exactly peaking for the playoffs or revving at full-throttle as they head into the next two huge road games at New England on Sunday night and then at Seattle.
They're probably not beating Tom Brady's Patriots going 2 for 10 on third down, let's put it that way.
Instead, they're in a December adjustment period, with a young QB, working in new formations to take advantage of his skills, and hoping to rack up victories along the way.
But the 49ers knowingly put themselves in this spot by switching QBs at such a late stage of such an important season, and now it's on Kaepernick.
He has to be Alex Smith ... and more.
"We can just do more with Kap because he can run with the ball, very athletic," Gore said. "But basically it's the same (offense), just a little bit more read-option."
The 49ers want Kaepernick to manage the game, which he did Sunday.
And they want him to be spectacular when the spectacular moment arrives, and again, he did that, too.
It wasn't close to perfect. But, after last week's loss, it's what the 49ers needed.
They will need more Kaepernicking in the coming weeks, for good or bad, and they know it. Ready or not, here it comes.

Polk Regional Science and Engineering Fair
Projects on Display at Annual Science and Engineering Fair Showcasing 275 Students
Annual event showcases the research of 275 students.

LAKELAND | The health of wounded U.S. soldiers could improve if Summer Monroe has her way.
STEAM Expo
Today from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Polk County School District holds the STEAM Expo (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) at St. Paul Lutheran School, 4450 Harden Blvd., Lakeland.
The free event is being held in conjunction with the Polk Regional Science and Engineering Fair. Sun 'n Fun will furnish a static plane, helicopter, flight simulator, remote-control helicopters and activity booths. There also will be booths from Busch Gardens, the Museum of Science and Industry, Kennedy Space Center, 4-H, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Polk County Commission and others. There will be a robotics competition.

The 18-year-old senior from Lakeland Collegiate High School has developed a new field bandage to help prevent infections in traumatic wounds. And she's put it through initial testing at a lab at the University of South Florida with positive results.
The design of the bandage is laid out in her project for this year's Polk Regional Science and Engineering Fair, "Advanced Design Field Combat and Burn Bandage Using Antimicrobial Copper and Bio Inhibitor Film."
The annual fair, held Friday at St. Paul Lutheran School in Lakeland, featured projects from 275 students in a variety of categories. The winners will be announced at 7 tonight at Lakeland Christian School, 1111 Forest Park St.
Monroe's bandage design incorporates a copper sheeting coated with Sharklet (a bio-inhibitor film) on top of a gauze packing and copper mesh.
"It's sort of a sword and shield effect," she said of her design.
"The sanitation issues are so bad in Iraq and Afghanistan. They worry about infection all the time."
Monroe, who has worked on the project six months, has had successful tests in USF's microbiology laboratory. She also has several letters of support from military medics praising her design and emphasizing the need for better dressings.
"I hope one day this will be able to help our troops," she said.
After graduation, Monroe will head to USF in the fall to continue her studies. She has been invited back by university staff to continue developing her bandage.
Monroe's was just one of many remarkable projects at the fair Friday. Colorful banners topped cardboard presentation boards with numerous experiments.
An aisle over from Monroe was 16-year-old Andrew Noonan from the International Baccalaureate School at Bartow High. Friday was his fifth time in the regional competition. He's also been to state competition four times, placing first or second each time, and he's been to international competition once.
This year, Noonan's project was titled "Concentrated Solar: Creating an Improved Energy System."
In his design, a large curved mirror directs sunlight to a central point on solar cells. The cells turn the light into energy that can be stored in batteries; and water, used to cool the cells, heats to a boiling point and creates safe drinking water.
His invention directs itself toward sunlight and away from shade. An Internet connection also helps alert the system to approaching inclement weather, allowing it to maneuver into a position to protect itself.
The design creates enough drinking water to supply six people for a day, he said. Noonan has filed for several patents on his project.

New Option: unification of Mencoder/tsMuxer engines, including:
. Automatic choice between H264 muxing or transcoding, based on AVC Level / ref frames support by ps3
. Remux on the fly any H264 content from MOV, MP4, and AVI containers (ex: Apple HD Trailers)
. Can be disabled via the #Video Settings# virtual menu if anything goes wrong
- Changes / Features : All Platforms
XBox 360 unofficial support (Pictures/Music/Videos : WMV8/WMA2 transcoding)
Mencoder archive handling (no seeking support)
Automatic album art download from amazon or discogs
New option for browsing directory by date
Alternate cover art folder and <video>.jpg additional support (along existing <video>.<ext>.cover.jpg)
New translations: Romanian (thanks to Marinescu Alexandru Cezar), Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese (thanks to KK Tong)
Updated translations: Finnish, Greek, Icelandic, Portuguese, Swedish
- Fixes
Reworked RSS parsing (youtube playlists)
Wrong font detection on some systems: subtitles weren't loaded
Fixed tsMuxer crash at the end of file
Modified UPNP discovery [work in progress]
http://mogoo.free.fr/files/1.09.1/pms-s ... .1beta.exe
I'm skipping some revisions number and heading to the 1.10 cause I think there's some major changes:
a. First the DTS output. I'd be happy to have quick feedbacks because I coded this blindly
b. Then the possibility with the Mencoder engine to have an automatic choice between muxing and transcoding for the same video on XMB, based on AVC specs...
the option is enabled by default, but video will be transcoded nonetheless if there are external subtitles. However, if you want to force internal subtitles, you have to go into the #transcoded# folder (maybe this behavior will change, dunno)
c. I'm also quite happy with the MOV remuxer, even if some H264 streams are not supported by tsMuxer (Those from my own Sanyo camcorder for example, and the Canon 5D Mark II 1080p samples, who are rather impressive, but needs a Quad for transcoding them)
At least the Big Bunny movie and Apple trailers are playing fine
Oh, and I included a new mencoder MT from yesterday's SVN...
so you have many things to test, feedbacks more than welcome
PS: Web support (rss feeds, web videos, etc.) is maybe broken with this version
