Hi everyone, I know there have been some discussions about hip arthroscopy in here and I have a specific question.
I had my hip scoped back on 11/5/07 so I'm just about 3 months out. I had impingments on both the acetabulum and femoral neck removed as well as a labral repair using 2 anchors. My recovery has been fairly uneventful and I must say it was an easy surgery to get through (minus some scary numbness that lasted for 4 weeks). They did find significant cartilage damage but pretty much said there wasn't much they could do about it. Just expect early onset arhritis. Anyway, I'm curious about other people's recoveries. About 2 or 3 weeks ago I noticed that my hip has been catching/clicking again. Sometimes when it happens it can be quite painful for a split second. I would say its happening between 5 and 10 times a day. Mostly it happens when I bend forward at the waste while sitting.
I'm curious if others have experienced this at 3 months post surgery? The doc and PT don't seem worried about it yet. I'm worried that the labral repair is failing and it's slipping inside the joint from time to time. Has anyone that has gone through this experienced the same thing and had it go away?
Dan: I'm afraid I can't help you very much but am hoping to learn from you instead. I have had a very painful hip that I suspect strongly is a tear. I've been seen 3 times by ortho and blown off with a diagnosis of flexor instability. Since I have no difficulty with any forward flexor movements and still have bull strength in these groups I doubt it and suspect misdiagnosis. What were your symptoms of the tear? If you don't mind sharing them with me it could help me gain the courage to second opinion my ortho. He did do an MRI but it was without contrast so from what I've read it was probably missed. I can't believe that a flexor instabiltiy could cause this much pain and disability. Thanks for sharing Dan I hope your experience can help. Christine M. M.
Well, its kind of a long story. I was having issues for the last 10 years. It started after running a half marathon. I was limping around a lot and had lots of clicking and popping. Doctors never really diagnosed anything and honestly I'm pretty lazy about following up with doctors if they fail the first few times. In the beginning the pain was enough to make me limp during the day but it eventually decreased. After that I had lots of clicking and popping that was only momentarily painful. I had pretty much stopped running and would only occasionally play basketball until the last few years. When I started running again I noticed that I was able to gradually work up the mileage and as long as I took a lot of time to warm up I could do about 10 miles before I would get pain in my front groin. If I tried to start out fast or at anytime started to run sub 8 minute miles I would get the pain. I decided to start seeing a doctor about it again and initially thought hernia (negative), then a sports hernia. I went to Dr Myers in Philadelphia who is renowed for treating sports hernias and he thought there was a good chance that is what I had but he needed to rule out hip problems which can present the same symptoms. When they did the MRI with contrast they found the torn labrum as well as all my impingments. He referred me to Dr Kelly at the Hospital for Special Surgery. Honestly, go get the MRI with contrast, some people will tell you it hurts but it doesn't. It's just pressure and anxiety from a big needle. After the injection you'll be limping but its not really because its painful, more so because you feel awkward for a few hours. It wasn't a big deal. If you end up having the surgery I will tell you that the pain isn't a big deal either. My back and neck hurt more than my hip just because I was laying around a lot. I only took pain killers to fall asleep at night for the first few days. Other than that its just frustrating not being able to take care of yourself for a few weeks. Get it taken care of sooner rather than later though, when they went in with the scope they found that I had an area where the cartilage was just gone most likely the result of me having the injury for so long and just trying to tough it out.
Thanks so much for the info. I, on the other hand am like a terrier with respect to my health and if I catch wind that anyone is even thinking about blowing me off I get angry and mobilize. I had an atraumatic start on 12/01 07. I had been running-nothing intense, and doing lots of leg work lunges, squats,yadayada. I woke up with a fierce painful limp and much like yours the limp dissappated within 1-1 1/2 weeks. But what I'm left with is a wicked pain in the same spot always-posterior hip when weight bearing, running, or trying to rotate my hip. It feels like I'm weight bearing on a shard of glass. I def. feel a piece of something catching, it clunks, sometimes pops but I'm most distressed with the pain. Saw ortho and he was in a big yank to get going and spent like 2 minutes with me and ordered an MRI without contrast.All negative. Since then he told me to go to the gym and "power through the pain" Like a moron I did what he said despite pain that brings me to tears. I went back yesterday to try to give him the courtesy of another chance and he never saw me he sent the nurse out with a PT slip. Now let me tell you DL, after 8 weeksof pain like this there is no ay I'm playing stretch and release and then finding out what I already know.Did you have nightime pain? I can't sleep at all because either side up is so painful. I need to take Benadryl just to knock me out to get through a night.So being the bull I am, I just got all copies of my records sent out for a second opinion and hope I dont get the same reception.So with my clunking, popping, pain and limp off I go to another opinion hoping that at least this guy listens. I'm a bit disadvantaged being in a small rural area somewhat podunk without any quality care for miles but I'll get there-at least that I know. Thanks again-I'm glad you are doing better and hopes for your continued recovery are there.....
Hi, I also tore my labrum in December. I thought that I just had a bad groin pull that I woke up one morning with.
(never had any hip or groin pain before). I would let it rest a week, try to run again only to be in more pain the next day. This went on until I went to Dr. Dector (great doctor) in West Orange New Jersey. He did an x-ray in his office and ordered an MRI with contrast. He told me on Valentine's day that I tore my Labrum. He also recommended Dr. Kelly and would not recommend anyone else. Dr. Kelly does not work with Blue Cross/ Blue Shield so I found Dr. Srino Bharam in New York 212-691-3535. He is an awesome doctor he saw me two weeks later and I had the surgery on March 20. I Looooove Dr. Bharam he has the best bedside manner, he has a lot of credentials, he also had the surgery performed on himself and he has also ran a marathon so he knows what it is like to be a runner. The surgery went great. He wanted me on the bike the next day and I was off crutches in a week. Gillian his office manager is a sweetheart and they accepted whatever the insurance paid. Unfortunally he really doesn't want me to run anymore (I also had arthritis in my hip) so I'm stuck crosstraining, because I don't want hip replacement by the time I'm 40. I'm fortunate that I was diagnosed early and had some of the best doctors. Hopefully this information might help some of you. I am still heartbroken over not running ( I've ran 5-6 days a week for 10 years about 5 miles a day). But I know me, once I start running then I would return to the same habits of pushing myself into the ground and I really have to look at the big picture and find other ways to push myself without all of the damage. Good Luck to everyone.
I was looking for an old thread where a gymnast had a labral tear years ago and recovered fully with a long rest period; now her daughter has a labral tear and they are recommending surgery. My 12 year old daughter has a labral tear which started bothering her in October. An MRI arthrogram confirmed the tear in December. Her sports medicine/orthopedic doctor recommended surgery and referred us to a hip specialist from our Children's Hospital. The sports guy was much more interested in getting her back to her sport quickly. We saw the surgeon last week, and he wants to wait and see her in 3 months and see if she has improved at all. The waiting and being on crutches with almost no improvement is becoming frustrating. There is no way of knowing if she will actually improve. Meanwhile she is missing her competitive season and is hoping at this point to be able to walk without a limp at her sister's wedding at the end of May. Her sport is actually all-star cheer, which is similar to gymnastics. Last year she competed individually and took first at nationals, and her team got a paid bid to Worlds. Her team is trying for another World bid this spring without her and she feels badly because she can't help. She loves to tumble and just was starting to land double fulls when her hip started bothering her. She is hoping by summer or fall she can get back to her team and compete again. Most girls on the senior team are older, but my daughter isn't sure if she'll want to continue into HS with it as she has a lot of hard classes already and wants to concentrate more on academics once in high school. She is already in HS Spanish and geometry and sometimes it is hard to get homework done on nights with long practices. So ideally she would be able to get back to her sport pretty soon and maybe make it to Worlds one more time. If further activity would put her at risk of more damage, of course she would have to give up her sport. This seems to be the surgeon's answer. Just don't do it. But she is bored, bored, bored! Competing, to her, is fun. I have gotten art supplies and tried to get her into some music lessons. She is doing her rubiks cube in under 1 1/2 minutes because she whips it out when she is bored. I'd love to hear the pros and cons of doing the surgery or not. Additionally I can't find anything telling of the results of conservative treatment in someone her age who is still growing. Any comments or suggestions would be great!
Here is one person's experience. http://community.active.com/message/532418#532418
Thanks, that is really interesting. Especially where she said the MRI arthrogram was more painful than the surgery - this gives me hope surgery won't be so bad if it comes to that! About 2 hours after that MRI arthrogram was the most pain I've ever seen my daughter in. I asked her to rate the pain from 1-10 and she said 10! She has a high pain tolerance and never has said "10"!
I know the person who had the surgery. She is doing well and getting her running back on track after getting through the tendonitis. She also had some problems with the antibiotics but got that straightened out as well.
While avoiding surgery would be great, the common thread seems to be little or no improvement until surgery and then a slow recovery. My daughter is growing really frustrated with being on crutches and unable to do any physical activity. If the surgery is going to be needed, she'd rather get it over with ASAP and be on the road to recovery. She says that even after watching videos of labral tear debridement and repair on You Tube. They were so sick! She thought they were cool. She wants to be a surgeon and loves to watch surgery though - but your own surgery? Ew. After competing at an elite level, doing nothing at all is a huge let-down. If going back to her sport would risk further damage, then she may need to switch sports. But 12 is way too young to retire from all sports and just do nothing but sit around reading or whatever. I'd really love to have some concrete information on the probability of cartilage healing on its own at her age. Can this really happen? I've seen pictures of torn labrums and all those stringy things are hanging off - it just seems like without trimming that stuff away and cleaning it up it would be tough to have it heal.
My daughter stopped using crutches and walking so obviously was painful the school was phoning me. We told the doctor she needed to come back sooner than April and were ready to request her records and go elsewhere to another Dr specializing in hip arthroscopy. She had an appt Monday, and yesterday our original surgeon put her under with general anesthesia, did another arthrogram, and gave her a cortisone injection. Has anyone else tried the cortisone injection as a less-invasive solution for a torn labrum?
Using the fluoroscope, he said he saw a thicker area on her cartilage that looked like a piece had broken off and lodged there or there was a flap. He is going to look at her MRI-A more closely and may want to trim the piece off if there is a flap. He called it a "mechanical" issue. From day one, my daughter has pointed to this exact spot where it is "pinchy". Watching her walk, it reminded me of trying to avoid rubbing a blister or walking with a stone in your shoe - it looked like she was trying to avoid this "pinchy" spot. We described this to all the doctors for the past 4 months and I feel like we are finally getting somewhere! Either this cortisone will help, or she'll have to go back and get arthroscopic surgery but this is such good news because it finally seems like she is on the road to recovery. The only thing I'm a little confused about is that he is calling it a "surface cartilage issue" instead of a torn labrum. Does anyone know what this distinction is? Is it just location? The spot is right at the front of her hip so it seems like it would be relatively easy to fix.
Yes, I have had both the arthroscopy of the hip as well as a cortizone shot. I had my surgery in 2007 and it was very successful. The surgery is the best way to go. I had reinjured my hip when I had fallen during one of my hurdle drills, I had an MRI to check the hip but it was too inaccurate to tell if something was wrong because of the first surgery. The doctor gave me the cortizone shot and it worked well.....but it only lasted a few months. The cortizone shot is only a temporary solution. Eventually I ended up back on the operating table, but months later than I should have. My suggestion would be get the surgery if you have time to recover. If for example you just want to finish your season go for the cortizone shot. But as a general rule, I would say get the surgery to fix the problem instead of the cortizone shot.
Hi, I'm new to the site and was wondering if anyone has experienced similar symptoms resulting from a hip labral tear. While training for a marathon in March 2009, I felt a sharp pain in my lower back. I had a MRI but it showed nothing but a tarlov cyst (which every doctor has said are asymptomatic). I was still attempting to run until the pain starting going down both of my legs and in my right groin. I went to another back doctor who said I may have a small tear and gave me an epidural. However, this did not help. I eventually got an MRI on my right hip which showed evidence of a anterior/superior labral tear. I had hip arthoscopic surgery on July 23/09 and am now about three weeks out. The dr. said they did a repair and removed a bone spur on my femur. I still have pretty bad lower back pain and hamstring pain which my PT said was hamstring tendonitis. So, I guess my questions are as follows:
-Has anyone's back pain subsided after having a repair a hip labral tear? If so, how long did it take to for the back pain to go away?
-Has anyone experienced hamstring tendonitis that seemed to get worse right after surgery? Did it eventually go away?
-When did most people begin feeling better after the surgery?
know you posted this last year and may already have an answer. however, i just joined the discussion thread after recently being diagnosed with a tear and living in pain for years, and wanted to let you know that, yeah, my pain subsided after a few years. just kind of went away. my right side, though, which was compensating for my right has started hurting, though. anyway, not sure if this is good or bad or old news, but thought it worth sharing.

Every year that Nicole Zempel has served as Director of the Granite Falls Chamber of Commerce, attendance has dramatically risen at the Chamber's annual community gala. With standup comedian Scott Novotny and musician funny man Glen Everhart headlining the 2013 event, this Saturday's Chamber celebration has an opportunity to not only be the largest, but most uproarious.
Zempel, who is getting set to put on her sixth straight gala, said that the success has been driven by the Chamber Board's intentions to create an atmosphere ideal for enjoying good food, stimulating conversation and top-notch entertainment. Long gone, she said, are situations of yesteryear wherein laborious speeches and the bestowing of various awards had become common place.
"We at the Chamber have worked quite hard to sort of flow with the times and with that, our hope has been that out-dated perceptions associated with this event will fade away once and for all," she said. "This event serves the dual purpose of creating an evening event that is lighthearted, and a place for people to gather and enjoy each other's company, great entertainment and food. It's really that simple."
This year's community celebration will be held on Saturday, January 26 at Bootlegger's Supper Club. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m., with social hour and a background folk / blues inspired musical performance by Luther Cole, ensuing from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Cole will be singing original songs while also incorporating songs from the likes of Neil Young and John Prine.
Starting at 7:00 p.m., and running for the next hour, event-goers will have the opportunity to serve themselves a buffet style dinner that is to include roast beef/gravy, teriyaki chicken breast, roasted baby red potatoes, green beans, dinner roll, tossed salad, tortellini salad and cherry cheese cake.
At 8:00 p.m. the two shows will take place, one following the other. Scott Novotny is a professional stand-up comedian while Glen Everhart is musician and funnyman. Both have 30-plus years of experience a piece.
"Due to a tremendous amount of positive feedback regarding last years entertainment, we decided to book for 2013 with the same company, G.L. Berg Entertainment, and these guys came highly recommended," said Zempel.
Also being held during the evening is a silent auction that will feature an interesting array of items donated from local artists and businesses of the Granite Falls area.
"Our annual silent auction is an important fundraiser for the Chamber, and it's been a lot of fun thinking up and obtaining some unique items," said Zempel.
Tickets for the 2013 Granite Falls Chamber of Commerce Community Celebration are available at the Chamber of Commerce office for $30. The ticket includes both the price of dinner and all three entertainers. All proceeds go to Chamber in support of future endeavors and community initiatives.

EMA approves Biofrontera's BF-200 ALA
Leverkusen - A short statement from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and a big step for the German biotech Biofrontera. The agency issued a favourable opinion on Biofrontera's marketing approval application for its drug for the treatment of actinic keratosis. There was no recommendation for a restriction or temporal limitation of the approval. The substance, which Biofrontera addressed as BF-200 ALA while in development, will be marketed under the name Ameluz. The positive assessment report by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) will now be forwarded to the European Commission for the formal conclusion of the process. Biofrontera anticipates final approval in December. After that, Ameluz can be commercialised in all 27 countries of the EU as well as Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, the company stated. Biofrontera had started its application process in September 2010.

BIG SPRING, Texas - Well before dawn every morning, Joey Goodwin drives through the worn streets of town picking up his crew of roughnecks - oil drilling rig laborers - before heading to work in the oil fields of the Permian Basin. As his rusty Acura bellows across a dark expanse of cotton fields, hundreds of oil rigs illuminate the horizon.
Still dark in the west Texas winter chill, they climb up the rig where they work. Their job for the next ten hours is to jam 50-foot steel pipes into the earth - one after another after another - until they strike oil, preparing the hole for "fracking," a hydraulic fracturing drilling process. The rig is loud, slippery and dangerous. The stench of toxic hydrogen sulfide gas hangs over the fields.
"You earn a good living, enough to support a family be a man but it sure is hard on your body," said Goodwin, 38. "I've broken my back, my neck, never really got either fixed. By now, I'm a pretty much just worn-out chunk of meat."
Forty-five minutes west of Big Spring is Midland, a city of 120,000, which serves as the region's financial epicenter and the home base of most of the companies that employ men like Goodwin.
In the downtown district of Midland, buildings erected during the last boom cycle are being torn down and replaced by sparkling glass office towers. Midland's BMW car dealership of the Permian Basin reported a significant increase in the number of sales, even above last year's, particularly for the 760Li model, priced at $155,000.
As Wes Reeves, a 28-year-old partner in the newly formed Hannathon Petroleum Company summarized, "In this country, oil is God."
The economy of the Permian Basin, which accounts for 14 percent of the nation's oil production, is fractured like the earth beneath the drills. It's a place of extreme wealth and enticing opportunity for roughnecks like Goodwin who risk their lives and their health. Those on the lowest rungs struggle day-to-day and are increasingly priced out of affordable housing as prices rise amid the oil boom.
Most of the roughnecks in Big Spring are like Goodwin, who dropped out of school in the 7th grade and has served some time in prison. Working in oil fields since his early teen years, he has been in Big Spring for two years. His leathered skin and calloused hands speak to a lifetime of hard labor.
Goodwin, originally from southern Louisiana, is one of thousands of men currently flooding into this part of west Texas, where a boom caused by the high global price of oil and new drilling technology is providing high wages - up to $25 an hour - for those willing to endure the backbreaking labor. In a crossroads like Big Spring, the budget hotels and motels are constantly full as workers pulling 24-hour rotational shifts on the rigs file in and out from the fields.
While he earns a good wage, the cost of living has also been driven up steeply by the oil boom, especially the high demand for housing in a market with a shortage in supply. Goodwin, carrying rental and child support payments, is making just enough to get by.
"We're the trash out here," he said, gazing out from the rig over a dawning horizon, "and a lot of people are making a lot of money off our backs. But I can't complain, work is work."
Midland's Texland Estates, a gated congregation of million-dollar homes, brims with green manicured lawns and sparkling fountains. Several mammoth structures are in the process of being erected, in stark contrast to the surrounding desert landscape of brown scrub littered with thousands of teetering oil jack pumps.
"The land here isn't very pretty," says resident Kristina Johnson, gazing from her half-finished balcony over the estate's security walls, "but what I love about design is that you can create your own oasis anywhere you are."
Johnson, a Texas A&M-educated architect who specializes in high-end, custom-built homes, designed many of the mansions in Texland. "This boom is a blessing, but it's also overwhelming. At a certain point, I just had to stop taking commissions. It was too much. Last year I had a three-year wait list, just in Midland."
Midland ranked as the second-wealthiest metropolitan area in the nation in per capita personal income in 2011. It has less than a four percent unemployment rate, well below the US national average of 7.8 percent.
The only obstacle to building in Midland, Johnson said, was the labor workforce's struggle to keep up with the increasing demand of the housing market. "For a while there were so many people wanting homes, and simply not enough labor to actually build them."
Married to a petroleum engineer, Johnson is currently building her own home in Texland as a final project before taking time off to raise her two young children. The house is more than 12,000 square feet, complete with a 100-foot long indoor archery range in the basement. She designed the entire upstairs of the home for her daughters - an exact replica of the more modest home where she herself grew up.
While the current oil boom has substantially increased incomes for petroleum executives and engineers, it has been a different story for those at the city's margins, particularly in the service industries. The influx of workers means the cost of housing and living have skyrocketed even more dramatically in Midland than in Big Spring. Many have been forced out of the city, and even out of the Permian Basin, in search of more affordable housing.
The crews of plumbers, stone layers, and insulators working on the million-dollar homes cannot afford to live in Midland. Instead, they commute two hours each way from Lubbock, 117 miles north, where housing is comparatively more affordable.
One 29-year-old worker on Johnson's site, Daniel Salaz, earns $10 an hour as a plumber. He explained that the past year has provided a constant stream of new homes to work on, but he still struggles to pay the monthly rent and utilities on the four-room flat in Lubbock he shares with his mother, her boyfriend and four other siblings.
His room in Lubbock has holes in the walls and lacks heating and insulation. In the winter months, he and his siblings sleep huddled around a single space heater in a cramped living room.
He shares the family's living costs with his mother, who works as a waitress at a local Denny's - for $2.13 an hour plus tips - and her boyfriend, who has struggled to maintain a job since being released from prison.
"It takes the three of us just to survive day-to-day," explained his mother, Kristine Ramos Salaz. "Since the recession kicked in, I don't get tips like I used to. And the little I make usually gets spent that day. Whenever a paycheck comes in, we pay a bill. We're not saving anything, we're living day-to-day, literally."
The Salaz family used to live in Midland, but a home comparable to what they have now would cost double, if not triple, what they are paying Lubbock.
Korinna Lillis, a case manager at the Helping Hands Center of Midland, explained that the organization has seen a dramatic increase in the number of people rendered homeless since the oil boom. "People are coming here from all over to work, but they simply can't afford to live here." For families who cannot double and triple up in the tiny flats surrounding the city, the oil boom is literally forcing them into the street.
Oil companies are purchasing the few affordable apartment buildings that exist. Concho Resources, an oil and natural gas company with offices in downtown Midland, recently bought the nearby Ocotillo complex and is converting the 38-unit, 18,000-square-foot, low-income housing complex into executive suite apartments for company employees. Residents who had lived there on a month-to-month basis have been left looking for housing, many not knowing where they will go next.
One Ocotillo resident, who works for $10.50 an hour as a server in a private club for second- and third-generation oil families, depended on the $500 monthly rent she was paying at Ocotillo. When Concho purchased the complex in November 2012, she was forced to get a second job to pay for a more expensive apartment - $750 a month - on the south side of Midland, literally the other side of the tracks, crammed between a decrepit halfway house for convicted felons and a trash strewn abandoned lot.
In Ocotillo, she could walk to work. The move also forced her to buy a used car - purchased with the generosity of some individual members of the private club - because Midland and the surrounding areas have no public transportation.
Yet most residents at Ocotillo are not so fortunate. With eviction looming around the corner, many are likely to join Midland's soaring homeless population.
Although she considers herself lucky to even have found her new apartment, moving back to the city's poverty-stricken south side provides constant reminders of a life she worked hard to escape.
"I feel highly blessed to have found this home," she said. "It's a new beginning for me and I'm going to make it beautiful on the inside. But once you step out that door, it's hard not to feel that depression set in."
While wealthy Midlanders bunker themselves away in gated oases, the south side remains exposed to the Permian Basin's harsh and unforgiving desert. Stray dogs and roving addicts roam dusty back pathways, overgrown with cactus. The breeze carries traces of the H2S gas from nearby deposits in the surrounding oil fields. The bungalows are boarded up, and the fences are falling apart.
"Sometimes I wonder what they are trying to keep out over there," said one south side resident and single mother of four who cleans homes in the wealthy estates cropping up throughout the city.
"I guess it's us, right?"

EAGLE - While there's plenty to do throughout our glorious summer days here in the valley, summer nights have always presented a void for idle teenagers - and their parents - looking for something fun and safe to keep them busy. The Back Bowl in Eagle introduces Teen V.I.P. Night at the popular bowling and entertainment center Monday nights.
The Back Bowl will set aside the entire bank of 10 lanes on the north side as a V.I.P./Teen Lounge where kids can enjoy their own brand of music under the cosmic neon lights, while taking advantage of deeply discounted $3.99 games of bowling. The idea is to give teens a place where they can hang out and enjoy each other's company in a clean and safe environment.
Owner Joe Gonzalez has some very good insight into the needs of today's families.
"I remember what it was like with my own kids as teens, and how difficult it was to find something fun and affordable for them to do, on their own, in an environment we were comfortable with."
In addition to the special rate on bowling, there will be food specials available, and if parents want to tag along, there will also be drink specials for them ... they'll just have to stay in the Bowlmor Lounge or on the other side of the lanes.
"This is for the kids only," Gonzalez said. "We want them to have a place to get together and be themselves and enjoy a bit of a party atmosphere where there's actually something to do other than 'hang out'."
For more information, contact the Back Bowl at 970-328-BOWL, or go to www.thebackbowl.com.

Topic: Power of love and laughter
I see and feel the healing power of love and laughter all the time. You can't measure it, but it's real and it's powerful. We have quite a few family get togethers - more now than before Charlie was diagnosed (another good thing that came from this). Family ages from 2 years old to Charlie who's the oldest at 53. We build a fire in the backyard Coleman firepit, roast marshmallows and fix s'mores and talk about anything and everything. Lots of stories and cracking up until we're crying from laughing so much. We have a whole group of teenagers. So much fun. I swear, after a night like that, Charlie's glowing for a week! I can see how Charlie's cancer has changed the whole family. They see each other in a different way and really appreciate each other and they especially love and appreciate Charlie for the special and wonderful man he is!
I wish the same for all who are suffering from this.

Winklevoss Twins Launch IPO for Bitcoin-Tracking Stock
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, twins known for battling Mark Zuckerberg over ownership of Facebook, have filed for an initial public offering designed to allow investors to track the performance of digital currency bitcoin.
The Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust said Monday in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it will sell around $20 million worth of shares, each of which will represent a fraction of a bitcoin.
The Winklevoss trust believes "that, for many investors, the Shares will represent a cost-effective and convenient means to access exposure to bitcoins," the filing says. The filing says at the $20 million offering value, each share would represent 0.2 bitcoins.
Bitcoin is the name for both the peer-to-peer payments system that allows people to pay each other from virtual accounts accessed online and on mobile devices as well as the digital currency itself. Launched in 2009 by a developer whose true identity remains unknown, the digital money is not backed by any central governing body, such as the Federal Reserve, and allows users to remain mostly anonymous, save for their "bitcoin address," in transactions.
The filing doesn't list any bank as an underwriter, but lays out the case for the trust as a way for an average investor to make a wager on bitcoin.
The aim will be to have an investment that reflects a "weighted average" of bitcoin prices, the filing says. The product would operate akin to exchange-traded funds, listing on an exchange though which stock exchange wasn't identified. The filing says it would be the first such offering of a bitcoin exchange-traded product.
Buzz about bitcoins has grown in recent months amid wild swings in the currency's value, driven by economic turmoil in the euro zone; outages at Mt. Gox, the largest bitcoin trading exchange; and U.S. Treasury Department guidance stating money-transmitter rules that apply to the likes of Western Union and MoneyGram International also apply to exchanges and sellers dealing with the currency.
Mt. Gox, based in Tokyo, last week registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the arm of the Treasury Department that enforces the money-transmitter rules. The move followed the Department of Homeland Security seizing an account of Mt. Gox for operating an unlicensed money-services business.
State regulators have also been focusing on companies that sell and exchange bitcoin. The Wall Street Journal reported last month that California, New York and Virginia have been contacting various bitcoin companies asking them to clarify what their businesses do, a move that could ultimately prompt the states to clamp down on their activities or force them to register under their own rules that apply to money transmitters.
The Winklevoss twins became famous for their feud with Mr. Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and chief executive, over who came up with the initial idea for the social network. The litigation ultimately settled. The twins, also Olympic rowers, were key characters in the movie The Social Network.
The filing lists several risks tied to the bitcoin world, including warning that the currency's price may remain volatile given its "relative lack of acceptance" in the retail and commercial marketplace. Also among the risks are several warnings tied to how bitcoin exchanges and the community operates, for instance, that the transactions are "irrevocable" so that "stolen or incorrectly transferred Bitcoins may be irretrievable."

Holiday menu design doesn't have to be complicated, but there is an art to it. Consider the style of your event and what tone you'd like to set. In general the more formal the party, the more formal the food should be.
Consider including a selection of flavors and textures. Perhaps serve something spicy, something creamy and soothing, and then add something crunchy.
Always start with a staple dish that most people will eat. This would be a typical dip that every palate can enjoy. Then you can get creative with other complementary foods that your more discerning palates will enjoy.
Try to keep your perspective. Take advantage of recipes that you can make ahead of time. That way, you can enjoy the party, too. Make vegetable casseroles ahead of time, but put toppings such as buttered breadcrumbs in a separate container and add them just before baking to keep them crisp. Pie crusts, rolls, cookies and other baked goods can be prepared a week ahead and frozen. Parties are meant to be fun and enjoyed. A top priority on your to-do list should be enjoy the moment.
Visuals are important so think about the shape and color of food. If the food looks good, people will try it. If everything you offer sits on little crackers, you're not providing any visual variety.
Remember your dessert finale paired with just the right coffee. A general rule of coffee-pairing thumb is the richer the dessert (i.e. chocolate, praline or peanut butter flavoring), the darker the roast. Also, sippable holiday treats like Community Bread Pudding, Bananas Foster and Pecan Praline flavored coffees can also add a lovely finishing touch. You were going to brew a pot of coffee anyway, why not kick it up a notch with a unique holiday flavor?
Keep in mind during this holiday season that coffee gift sets can make a great hostess gift as well as a unique present for any coffee connoisseur. Coffee lovers have a variety of items from which to choose to fit any budget and taste preference. Check out CommunityCoffee.com. Also, to learn more about Community Coffee Company, watch our latest videos.

Find out what happened on this day in literature, read by Dr. George Griffith, Professor and Department Chair (MP3 download).
Chadron offers a wonderful setting for the study of English literature and the humanities, with abundant beauty, natural resources, and open spaces to help open our minds. Many of our English major course offerings, such as Great Plains Literature, Literature Across Borders, and Environmental Literature have been developed with an eye towards the natural spaces of the High Plains where we live, teach, and learn. Our unique partnership with the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center offers further opportunities to read and write within a regional and environmental context. In other words, English majors at CSC benefit from an unfettered exposure to the great outdoors; here, you can literally get outside yourself.
But even beyond our natural setting, we believe a course of study focusing upon great authors, great minds, and great writing allows you to get outside of yourself. Hence, our English, Humanities, and Philosophy courses in areas such as feminist and multicultural literature, Chinese philosophy, film studies, philosophy of love and desire, creative writing, rhetoric, and writing instruction all offer many opportunities for our students to move outside of their comfort zones and to explore new worlds of understanding.
Our department provides small class settings with close interaction between the scholars/teachers in our program and our students. We emphasize innovative instruction and impressive scholarship (our faculty members consistently publish and keep current in their fields of expertise), and we are dedicated to a high level of academic achievement in our students.
Beyond the walls of the classroom, Sigma Tau Delta (our English honorary) hosts a variety of reading, writing and performance events throughout the year that energize the region and consistently draw a large and varied mix of voices and talents. The professors in the program, the students you will encounter here, the events and activities you will be able to join, and the great setting you can take inspiration from—all combine naturally to help you get outside yourself.

I seem to have a quite common problem, but the solutions I've found for it have not been working out for me.
My problem is that my PS3 are detecting Windows Media Player, but not the PS3 Media server.
This is how it is:
- I forced the IP to 127.0.0.1 (which seems to be a must to make my PS3 detected by PS3 media server)
- Force default renderer "checked" (disable automatic detection), just to make sure it avoids Windows Media Player, since that's the thing that's appearing on my PS3.
So how do I solve this? The PS3 Media server says it has found my PS3:
.. but how do I make it appear on my PS3 and NOT the god forbidden Windows Media Player?
It all worked, on Windows 7.
I've also been tinkering with this:
.. wheras I've tried disabling it (Okänd enhet = Unkown device) so I wouldn't get Windows Media Player to show on my PS3.
ANY help is greatly appreciated! As I am at my wits end

SAN ANTONIO -- The Warriors cannot, will not win when Stephen Curry plays as he did in Game 5, and nobody knows that better than Curry.
He has become this franchise's singular gravitational force -- when he is strong, they crush and destroy.
When Curry falters, the whole Warriors cosmos spins into chaos.
And in the crucial Game 5 against San Antonio on Tuesday ...
"I was terrible, plain and simple," a dejected Curry said, slumping at his locker after the Warriors' 109-91 loss at the AT&T Center, which gave the Spurs a 3-2 series lead.
"They outplayed us as a team, but individually I didn't have anything on either end. I was a step slow, shot wasn't falling.
"I was trying to make plays, but defensively I lost a little focus. I personally have got to be better."
On Tuesday, Curry, the most dynamic player in the postseason up to this point (before Tuesday, he was averaging 25 points and almost four made 3-pointers per game), played 34 listless minutes, made just 4 of 14 shots against San Antonio's hawking defense and scored only nine points.
He also was blasted on defense repeatedly by a Spurs offense that was determined to attack him in every way possible and was a game-worst minus-21 in the plus-minus.
"Tonight, I wasn't locked in, and that's inexcusable -- this is a big game, and I kind of dropped the ball," Curry said.
At several points in the game, Curry's frustration was more than evident -- after he dribbled a ball off his foot out of bounds, he shook his head and grimaced.
After a bad couple of defensive possessions, Curry smiled harshly and put his head down as he headed to the bench during a timeout.
Curry said his twice-injured left ankle was not a contributing factor to his struggle against Tony Parker, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green and company.
"Not really," Curry said. "I mean, it's sore, but I came in feeling good and was pretty optimistic about how I could play tonight. But it didn't go that way."
Game 5 certainly wasn't all his fault -- the Warriors have other good players, and Harrison Barnes (25 points on 10 of 18 shooting and seven rebounds) and Jarrett Jack (20 points) did all they could to keep the Warriors in this game.
But as Curry says, he is always the focal point. When he's beaten, the Warriors seldom can turn back that tide.
In fact, on this night, Klay Thompson seemed to be pulled into the same funk -- he was only 2 for 8, scored only four points, and for the first time this season didn't attempt a 3-point shot.
"It felt weird out there -- that is strange," Thompson said when asked about not attempting a 3-pointer.
In Games 1 and 2 in San Antonio, Curry and Thompson were twin terrors from every spot of the floor.
What happened Tuesday? Curry said the Spurs didn't change much defensively, but he and Thompson just couldn't put the ball in the basket.
"We just missed shots," Curry said. "I think early in the game I got a little off-balance on a couple trying to get a foul ...
"Me and Klay have to be better for us to get to where we want to go; there's no getting around it."
So the Warriors now face elimination in Thursday's Game 6 at Oracle Arena. The Warriors have a big thing going for them -- they're 4-0 in these playoffs in games following losses. But they also looked weary and slow on Tuesday -- wearier and slower than they've looked all postseason.
And now everybody in Warriorsland has to wonder: With Curry's issues, Andrew Bogut's re-tweaking of his own ankle problem Tuesday, and all the accumulated effort and energy expended, have the Warriors finally hit a wall? Is the Warriors' magic ride coming to an end?
"You hope not," Curry said. "I don't think that's in anybody's head right now.
"Yeah, I'm battling through my ankle stuff that set me back a little bit last game. ... Hopefully Bogut will be able to suit up Thursday and give us what he can.
"But right now, there's no excuses for anything. Whoever's ready to play has to make plays and help us win."
Mainly, it has to be Curry, whether he is in pain or not, whether he is swarmed by the Spurs or not, whether he is rightfully exhausted or not.
There is no way around it: After all this fun and glory, either Curry plays well, or the Warriors' season will end quickly.
He accepts the responsibility because he's good enough to carry it. On Tuesday, it just felt heavier than normal, and even Curry was dragged down, too.
