MRI report on back
October 5th, 2009
I had a back injury 14 years ago which started to cause me problems around 10 years ago. Over the last 10 years it has gradually got worse. Major pain in my lower back with on occassion my back 'going' and leaving myself unable to move. For the last 6 years I have been having lumbar epidurals which usually help, in some degree. Since January this year my back problem has been getting more and more painful. I recently had a MRI scan and I am unable to understand it. It states:
*Some loss of lumbar lordosis.
*Very dehydrated disc disc at L4/5.
*Endplate irregularities at L1-3.
*Disc bulges at serveral places in lumbar spine especailly L1/2,L4/5 and L5/S1
*Annular tear at L4/5 disc bulge with unexpected high signal behind the bulging disc material.
*Small central / right sided disc bulge L2/3 with a small sequestrated segment of disc material extending up behind the L1 vertebra.
*Canal a little tight at L3/4 but no disc protusion.
*Moderate sized central disc protusion at L4/5 and mild spinal stenosis giving generally narrow canal which is aggravated by the central disc. Annular tear noted at this level.
Symptoms I am suffering from are pain in lower back, groin, hips and legs, Weakness, pins and needles, in legs also heaviness and at times problems with walking. Sleeping problems mainly due to pain. Pain is helped by lying down but have a huge amount of pain if I sit without any back support when legs are out front such as sitting on the floor.
I have now had to take time off work with the possibility of having to give up work. I can not play with my children and am getting depressed from the whole situation. My GP is very helpful with such things as pain killers but am finding no help from the hospital who are refering me to pshyio. Which I know exercise will help but exercise causes more pain and I am scared of what the future holds and if I will have to deal with this pain for the rest of my life. I would be grateful if anyone could help me understand the MRI results better so that I have a better understanding of what is going on.
With thanks.,

Very in-depth MRI findings. Your MRI results are telling you that you are beating up your back. Say you hit your finger with a hammer. The MRI would show bruising to the bone, maybe even a break along with inflamed tendons.
What is important is not so much what the MRI shows but has caused all that damage. An MRI will not really tell you what is going on in terms of treatment unless of course you are looking for treatments of surgical procedures like injections.
Your symptoms are only chronic if you have a chronic dysfunction. So the problem is not chronic back pain but a chronic dysfunction in your body which is causing back pain.
I can guess at postural. muscular issues but it would be better to be evaluated by someone who can look at your posture:
"*Some loss of lumbar lordosis. "
Means distortion in the discs and /or weak lumbar multifidus muscles.
"*Very dehydrated disc disc at L4/5. "
Tight psoas muscles, among others, and lack of motion squeezing the fluid out of the disc.
"*Small central / right sided disc bulge L2/3 with a small sequestrated segment of disc material extending up behind the L1 vertebra. "
Do you have breathing issues? Damage in this area can be related to diaphragm not working correctly.
"have a huge amount of pain if I sit without any back support when legs are out front such as sitting on the floor. "
Tight hamstrings, weak lumbar multifidus, disc distortion with bulging to the rear.
"heaviness and at times problems with walking"
Sounds like nerve compression damage so the nerves are not conducting / activating the muscles. Nerves control the muscles.
These symptoms can be successfully treated at least to some extent with postural corrections and muscle balancing. Your body is screaming at you that it is hurt and needs to be fixed. If you choose to ignore the problem with injections / surgery it could lead to more pain.

Thank you for your comment, I am very grateful for it. I am, generally, very careful with my posture ever since my teens as this is when i first injured me back (crushed vertabrae and small fracture which was stable. But I will look into what you have said. Many thanks.

I also broke my back. Actually it was the car that hit me. Not only did this ruin my day, but even though I apparently "recovered", that is disc and bone damage, in 6 months my body and muscles took a "set" and never went back to normal. After 20+ years I started getting terrible pain, because, for example, my right psoas locked up while my left psoas went limp. While I looked fine, the postural deviation were very subtle, it wasn't until a skilled osteopath started finding all this core distortion that I started to realize what was going on.
As for correct posture, I would suggest Esther Gokhale's book "8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back". I did not think she was correct but since I followed my, my doc's, my P/T's ideas and still in pain I tried Esther's. Much, much better.
For example, did you know that 75% of the spine bending is at L5/S1. When standing there is a sharp bend at L5/S1 and the rest of the back L4-L3-L1 etc is virtually straight. Many of those lumbar supports cause swayback with a big sweeping inward arch throughout the lower back. Bad, bad, bad.
You can get a chapter from her book for free at her website, egwellness and it will show you good posture. Just look on her homepage for:
Claim your FREE chapter from...
8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back
on the single most important abdominal exercise you can do, and sign up for our monthly newsletter, Positive Stance.
What got me better was Esther's explanation of correct posture and then I went to egoscue dot com for e-cises to fix my posture / muscle tension problems. You get a menu of 10-15 e-cises to fix your posture.

Hi Renz,
Pete is 100% correct. Any attempt at self treatment for your spine pain is a very risky thing to do.
You really don't know what is or isn't going on. Any wrong exercises could very well make your spine worse, cause further injury and make the potential for more serious treatment needed.
You do need to be evaluated and diagnosed by a spine specialist. Either an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in spines or a neurosurgeon that specializes in spines only.
That is the only way you will be able to find out exactly what is going on. The longer you wait the worse the problem will get and the "fix" can be much worse than doing something about it now.
Good luck and please let us know how you are doing and what you find out from a spine specialist.

Thank you for your comments, I am very grateful. I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon at the end of the month, so hopeful something will come from that. At present to try and deal with things, my nerve pain medication has been increased and I am already on alot of pain management tablets. I have been told by a doctor (not a specialist)that the surgoens will be reluctant to conduct surgery as there are multiple levels of damage an one surgery is not going to solve all the problems, but that something may need to be done to the part that is causing the main problem i.e legs.
The main thing that bothers me and causes me the most difficulties, along with the pain, is that I have two young children aged 5 and 10 and I can not play with them and do the things I want to do with them and I am finding this very depressing. Bless them, as the do say they understand and they try to look after me but that is not their responsibility and I worry that I am taking their childhood away. They do still do things with their step dad but I want to interact as well.
I think with these kinds of problems such as back pain/damage or any other pain issue, all the attention is placed on the physical, which is right of course, but there are many levels to this such as emotional, practical etc.... These kinds of things, I know, can't be solved on a web site and in time I am sure things will work out in the way it is meant to be!

hi renz...i guess bad backs are like alarm clocks in that they get you up early...me too 6 am rise and shine....i know how you feel about playing with kids. however if you are there just paying attention they will remember. they will learn a considerable amount playing with kids their own age. that feeling of comfort that they get knowing your just there for them will carry them on. so just relax and take in their enthusiasm as they enjoy their lives under your loving eyes....pete

Keep us posted on what the neurosurgeon finds. You are correct in that emotions, stress, etc. can make back pain worse. That is the mind-body connection.
I guess the big question in my mind is what are YOU willing to do to heal? Sounds like you are just (sorry to say this) ignoring the problem and covering it up with pain pills. If this is the case it is no wonder you have only gotten worse over the last 10 years since your accident. Pills do not heal an injury. Injections do not heal an injury either. They just cover up the problem.
For example there are 3 simple positions that you can lie in when your back hurts really bad. They are pretty much guaranteed to work. Meditating while putting your body in the healing position can be a better way to deal with the injury than pills / injections. Especially if that route is not working for you anymore.
Actually, by playing with your kids, you have the perfect excuse to help your back at the same time. When was the last time you:
1) Got down on the ground on all fours. Let your stomach muscles relax and your lower back arch.
2) Crawled on your hands and knees.
3) Lie on your stomach and prop yourself up on your elbows.
4) Swung from a jungle gym.
5) Gone in the pool. Either swimming or just gentle movements.
Kids are active. They can give you lots of excuses to do things that adults aren't supposed to do but would be helpful in giving you some relief. The sitting with legs in front is bad but kneeling or lying on your stomach can help your back while getting you down at the 5 year old's level. You have some muscle tension and imbalance issues but don't worry about that stuff right now. Just get moving. It may make your back hurt but I don't think you will actually hurt your back or injure it more. You are more likely to injure it by doing nothing.

Thank you for the comments. I don't feel that I am ignoring the problem with the pills. I agree, if you are able, then there can be other ways to deal with pain, to a certain extent. But I take the pills to enable me to carry on doing the limited amount of things I still do with the children. I do not lay in much, as anyone with young children will know, that is impossible! I do as much as I am able and more sometimes but suffer for it! I thank you Awaq for the exercises you have written about but I am unable to get on all fours,(doing so makes my back spam and lock in place, with me not able to move) nor am I able to arch my back in the ways you described. I do go swimming and I walk in the water because of the resistance but going swimming relys on friends taking me as I can not drive at the moment due to the weakness in my legs and it would be unsafe for me to even thinking of doing so. And swinging from something is completely out of the question!
Over the last ten years my back has gonen worse but thats not to say I have not carried on with life! Up until June this year I have worked and studied and gained lots experience. I have continued through out to do the exercses given to me, and been as active as I could (up until this year).
I know that your comments Awaq were not meant as a personal attack but I am sorry to say that it has come across that way. Perhaps it is me being sensitive, I dont know, but I feelI need to defend myself!
Anyway I will keep undating once I have seen the doctor. Thanks again for all your comments.

Pete has pointed out some good questions to ask your surgeon.
Unfortunately, the doctor may not be able to answer it for you because there really isn't an answer.
If nerves are compressed for too long, they will suffer permanent nerve damage, but no one can really be 100% sure how long it will take for the nerves to become permanently damaged. It can be a very individual thing.
Another very important point to understand is that the longer you are in pain, not moving correctly and not using some of your muscles, tendons, and ligaments, they can atrophy on you, especially the muscles.
That old adage "what you don't use, you lose" becomes a serious problem with spine issues.
Those muscles that don't get used to atrophy and if they atrophy long enough, and again it can be difficult to know how long is too long, then it becomes very difficult to strengthen those muscles again and get them working properly. Not only that, but they can and do develop permanent weakness and permanent pain.
Many times physical therapy can strengthen those muscles, tendons, and ligaments so that they can be used properly again, but only time will tell.
Sometimes, as in my case with my first spine surgery, that weakness and atrophy developed in less than 5 months and it took quite a while to get the strength back in my fight leg and thigh.
I did get just about all of it back, but after a long day up and down and on my feet, the leg does feel week.
Also It is thinner than my left leg and will always be that way.
Also another thing to watch for is developing of serious problems as a result of nerve compression of the L5/L5/S1 nerves.
They go directly to controlling the bowel and bladder. If you ever get any symptoms of loss of bowel and/or bladder control or the beginning of either of those, please seek immediate ASAP treatment at either the ER of your spine surgeons office.
This would be what is called cauda equina syndrome and is an emergency situation. You have very little time to have surgery to remove the compression of those nerves before the damage to them results in permanent loss of bowel and bladder function.
Usually 24 hours, no more than 48 before that happens.
Again, not everyone will suffer from this and it can take years and years to develop or happen very quickly as it did with me, within 5 months. But it is a serious problem and fortunately for me, I had surgery less than 8 hours after the symptoms began and I have full bowel and bladder function.
Surgery should always be the last treatment for spine problems, but at the same time, should not be considered as never ever having it done.
Surgery in the hands of a skilled surgeon and for the correct reasons is the best option for many, many people.
Reading posts that one should never ever have surgery is not the way to go, nor should those posts be seen as the only result that one has from spine surgery.
Most spine surgeries are very successful in both the doctors and the patients eyes.
What one must remember is that most people who post on health forums with spine issues are either looking for information because they have a spine problem or they have had poor results from either conservative treatments or surgery.
Those that have had good results, like myself, don't usually stick around and post on spine sites. They are far to busy returning to their life and just don't bother to come back and post any more.
That is one of the reasons I continue to stick around. I want others to see that spine surgery can be extremely successful and life does return.

Thank you for you comments, I am very grateful, and thank you Pete, for the questions to ask. I will ask them! Fran I am aware of cauda equina syndrome and understand of the 'red flag' symptoms. I do try and keep as active as I can be but obviously at times it's difficult.
One thing I must add is that I am in the UK, and the health system does work differently. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing, but at a guess, a bad one (from pervious experience)! My GP says that I need surgery (not something I really want, but who does?), as the problems I am getting is seriously affecting my day to day life. An example being that to take the children to school is 'normally' a 5-10 minute walk, as it is in the same street. At present it is taking me roughly 20 - 30 minutes! But the doctors at the hospital often have very different views....sadly!
You are completely right Fran, people never hear the success stories, and I thank you for sharing you positivity. It shows that serivous problems effecting the spine is not always the end of the journey!
I see the surgeon in just under two weeks and I will make a post after this. For now I will just keep moving as much as possible and just wish this all works out good in the end!

I have another question / matter which I would be so grateful if someone could comment on.
I have noticed over the last couple of days that I am having bladder leakage, mostly in the mornings. Could this be related to my back problms or is it just normal, such as loose pelvic muscles? I know the red flag syptoms which people with back problems need to be aware of but as this is not 'full blown' (as such) I am unsure if I needed to mention this to my doctor when I see them later on in the week.
I send thanks in anticipation of any replys.

Renz, please tell your doctor ASAP about the bladder leakage.
Cauda equina syndrome does not have to be full loss of bladder and or bowel control.
Sometimes it's starts with just leakage of urine and does not progress further for ome time, other times it is just sudden loss of control.
Best to tell the doctor ASAP and be safe.

The Oak Island Police Department is warning Brunswick County residents and visitors about a man who is claiming to be an off-duty police officer.
Police Chief Greg Jordan said his office has received many complaints from people about a man who threatened them with violence during road rage incidents, telling people he's an off-duty Oak Island police officer.
Jordan said the man is about 5-foot-9 with red/brown hair, mustache and beard and drives a Subaru Tribeca SUV. He said none of his officers match this description.
BOLIVIA — As the number of hepatitis C-positive Brunswick County residents increases, Brunswick County Health Services knows more action needs to be taken.
SUNSET BEACH — It's morning, before the crowds arrive.
Aaron Gutknecht surveys Sunset Beach's pristine sands, unscathed by ocean water at low tide.
He finally picks a spot, roughly the size of half of a football field, puts his homemade shovels to the sand and begins his work for the day as the Mazematician.
Gutknecht, of Fort Worth, Texas, has been coming with his family to Sunset Beach for as long as he can remember, but it wasn't until eight years ago he began to bring his unique talent of creating sand mazes to the area.

SUNSET BEACH — Sunset Beach Mayor Ron Watts has announced his resignation effective in August after selling his house.
Watts, 58, and his wife Adrienne plan to move out of Brunswick County after closing on the sale of their Sunset Beach house in late August. Watts said resigning was the next step since he will no longer be a resident of the town.
Duke Energy officials at the Brunswick Nuclear Plant near Southport declared an alert July 13 at 8:39 p.m. because of damage to a pump motor. It ended at 9:18 p.m. that day when alert conditions cleared.

Nicholas Mciver, 20, and Terrell Freeman, 29, were arrested Wednesday, July 13, in Charlotte and are awaiting extradition to South Carolina each on a murder charge in the death of 29-year-old Amanda Fisher, according to a North Myrtle Beach news release. No information about a possible motive has been released.
Brunswick County Sheriff's Office deputies are searching for the man who robbed a Winnabow convenience store the morning of Saturday, July 16. No one was injured.
Sheriff's office spokeswoman Emily Flax said a man came into Han Dee Hugo's at 6170 Ocean Highway at 5:30 a.m. and showed the clerk a gun before taking cash. He left the store headed north on U.S. 17 in a newer model red Honda passenger car.
The robber is described as white with a ponytail and was last seen wearing an orange toboggan and camouflage jacket.

Starburst Zombie Video (New!)
on August 13, 2010 at 9:07 am
Posted In: Uncategorized
Holy Crap this made me laugh. Loved it.
Also the makeup on the zombie was some of the best I have ever seen. Wow, just wow.!
Zombie wins, no doubt. Also, THIS WAS FREAKING HILARIOUS! This totally ties with screaming mime for funniest contradiction.
Best scarring Halloween costume: gulllie suit. This is even more true if there are plenty of bushes and things to hide behind. Less true if you live in the city.

Opera Company of Philadelphia is announcing more than new programming this week: In addition to a 2012-2013 season that includes old favorites such as Puccini's La Bohème and the local premiere of Thomas Adès' Powder Her Face, the opera company is taking note of sweeping internal developments that will affect what happens onstage.
Longtime opera chief Robert B. Driver leaves at the end of the current season but will return to stage individual productions. Music director Corrado Rovaris' contract is renewed through 2016. Most tantalizing of all, OCP is discussing unstaged concert opera produced in collaboration with the Philadelphia Orchestra and its incoming music director, Yannick Nézet-Séguin.

Thanks for creating such a great plugin.
I used it so far and I was really happy with it, but now I had to edit something in the index.php and it stopped to work. It is a customization to let custom plugin to work, and I really need to keep WP Hide Post after that customization.
Here is the index.php before customization, and here is the index.php after that.
Is it possible to hide posts from custom loops that use the WordPress 'query_posts' function, are there chances there is a parameter that can/should be added to hide the hidden posts?

Easy In App Settings
BAMSettings is a generic handler for presenting and changing settings from within your iPhone app. By adding two files to your app and pushing BAMSettings onto your navigation controller, you will have the full functionality of Apple's Settings App from within your own app.
Why Use BAMSettings?
Okay, so you've carefully crafted a settings bundle for your iPhone app and you would like to give your users the ability to change settings from within your app, too. After writing several custom settings pages it has occurred to me that it would be useful to have a generic handler for this purpose. Since this is such a common occurrence, I've decided to release the code publicly so you use it in your apps for free.
Identical to iPhone Settings
Your existing settings bundle will be used to present an interface which is identical to the existing iPhone settings. It is fully localized and will use your strings files to present the settings in whatever language the user has selected on their phone. Your multi value fields, text fields, toggle switches, sliders and groups will be automatically populated in the same familiar way that your users have become accustomed to. In addition to the usual setting types, you can also use group footers, child panes, and title values which are less common and not in the default Xcode dropdown menus.
Even Better than iPhone Settings
While writing this, I couldn't help but add a few small improvements: The keyboard can be dismissed by pressing the return key while there is no way to dismiss a keyboard on the iPhone settings app, BAMSettings can rotate to any orientation while the iPhone settings app only supports the portrait orientation, and in an effort to ease the debugging of your settings bundle, BAMSettings will display a table cell informing you if you use a setting type that is unknown rather than simply ignoring it. If you run across a setting type that Apple's settings app handles but is unknown to BAMSettings, please let me know so I can update the code.
Use It for Free
I'm releasing BAMSettings publicly under the permissive Simplified BSD License (FreeBSD) to allow reuse by anyone who wants to use it. You can modify the code in any way that suits your project whether simply changing colors and fonts or even adding custom settings types. It was designed to be a great jumping off point for any in-app settings project. I would appreciate a credit and a link back to this site if you use it but it certainly is not required and I would enjoy hearing from anyone who uses this in their projects.
How to Use BAMSettings
The BAMSettings Demo post gives detailed instructions for adding BAMSettings to your project and includes a downloadable demo project.
I have chosen to leave BAMSettings sparsely commented. It is my belief that comments simply dilute the code (by decreasing the amount of actual code onscreen) when it contains thoughtful naming and is viewed by an experienced programmer. However, if others would find it useful, I would be willing to write a blog entry that explains precisely how the code within BAMSettings works.

Through conference calls, Lauderdale County Emergency Management officials including the American Red Cross, have kept a close watch on what's left of Tropical Storm Humberto.
Though downgraded from a hurricane, the storm is expected to drench east Mississippi with several inches of rain, creating possible flooding problems.
Gordon Stewart, emergency services director for the Key Chapter of the American Red Cross, says volunteers are on stand-by, as is the emergency response vehicle. But for now, shelters will not be opened.
Partridge says emergency officials will monitor rain levels overnight and through Friday morning.

From the Beginning: The First Doctor
Ahh, the Aztecs. What's not to love? This was the first Hartnell story that I ever saw and I was struck then, as now, by its freshness, excellent supporting characters and just sheer good story-telling. I have to agree with Doctor Whoovie about the sheer quality of the historical adventures and am really hoping that, even if for just once a season, Mr. Moffat will reinstitute this tradition (I mean to say, not every single time period in history can be under threat of alien invasion, can it?).
The Aztecs shows us how just by becoming embroiled in the politics of the time period visited, the time travellers can become caught up in adventures and situations as exciting as the pure sci-fi episodes (if not, as in the case of these early stories, more exciting). I love the educational aspects of the episodes which are not shoved unsubtly down your throat but introduced as and when they should naturally arise in the narrative. The Doctor's carving of a wheel which puzzles those who see it, for example.
Of course, the Aztecs is Barbara's story. And about time too as I have felt that she has been underutilised up until now. Here we see how a history teacher might actually act when she has the chance to change history. But we also see the full extent of her strength of character and resolve. This is Barbara's story but that is not to say that the other three main characters are ignored. Each play a strong role in the main story. Susan's 1960's school girl refusing to accept the way in which the Aztecs treat their women, Ian's rivalry with Ixtar, the Doctor making mistake after mistake (one of which leads him to get engaged!). All leading up to an exciting climax during which the crew escape by the skin of their teeth!
Anybody wanting a good starting point to get you into the First Doctor could do worse than to begin here. 10 out of 10!

hi. any ideas or requests for my 100th show?
[POSSIBLE SPOILER] Retro Console Room & Ep 1 Villain?
That's great. To each their own I guess. As for the crew not taking the blame, well, if Tennant needed the time off, then he should have been fired and that would have given him the time off. I don't entirely blame him though. If he wanted the time off the crew, whomever that may be, RTD should have said, okay but we need to make a show here. And hired a new Doctor. Maybe that wouldn't have worked but neither is this , at least it's not working for me. At all. I hate every special that we've had with the BIG exception of CHRISTMAS INVASION of course. That was marvelous. I also seem to think VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED was okay but not terribly okay. And I like TWO, count em TWO or maybe THREE, count em, THREE scenes in the tepid RUNAWAY BRIDE. NEXT DOCTOR: awful from start to finish just about with the possible exception of the last scene but again, I'm sick and tired of the Oh poor lonely me Doctor. Boring already. And huge giant spetacle that makes no sense is boring too. PLANET OF THE DEAD? Dead to me already forgotten. I tried to watch it again recently and didn't get past the STUPID "Easter Egg" scene or whatever it was the Doc was doing on the bus. I'm sorry, I know you like it and you have a right to like it but I hate it and believe it to be one of the main reasons I now Hate DW. and if I'm not mistaken didn't it get lower ratings than all the other specials and the 4th season? How anyone who is not a die hard fan stayed with it is beyond me unless everyone who watches DW is a die hard fan.
[POSSIBLE SPOILER] Retro Console Room & Ep 1 Villain?
The hiatus was all Tennant's fault, not the crew's. He had to have the time off to do Hamlet. I just wanted to make sure the blaim goes where it should.Although, I do agree that it was harmful to the show, no matter why it happened.
As far as the quality of the specials goes, I personally have watched the first half of The Next Doctor 6 or 7 times, but after the first time I always turn it off once the Cyber King becomes the plot. The first half is FANTASTIC though! Also, I have re-watched Planet of the Dead 2 or 3 times since first viewing as well. I think it's just a fun episode, and the first of the holiday specials since the 2005 reboot that I've actually enjoyed so far. However, the series 4 finale left me a bit cold, so I'm hoping the rest of the 2009 specials are good, or at least as good as Planet of the Dead. I think the finale just had too much stuff going on.
[POSSIBLE SPOILER] Retro Console Room & Ep 1 Villain?
Sorry what I mean is the quality. I haven't enjoyed a special since CHRISTMAS INVASION or maybe a bit of VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED but to me the proving point for the new series is whether or not I want to rewatch the story. I've watched DOOMSDAY about two dozen times, no kidding. I watched Rose at least four times, EMPTY CHILD at least seven times, PARTING OF THE WAYS about five times, HUMAN NATURE four or five times etc etc. I can't say I ever want to watch PLANET OF THE DEAD or NEXT DOCTOR ever again. IF Moffat stays with his track record (BLINK was awesome but barely had the Doctor in it) he'll do fine. But I just hope he stays away from stuff like TIMECRASH and using old ideas over and over and over and over. The fact that they are saying they are changing the cosmetic stuff like the opening visual or the TARDIS (glad, I hate the coral bit and that new console room a lot) and maybe the theme song or whathave you AND that they might be using Daleks and they might be doing an Indiana Jones style story and have Nazis makes me really really really worried. I can compare it to TRIAL because what rumors we have now make me think the quality will be as bad as TRIAL and I, for one, I don't care about ratings at all. I just know what i like. And I don't mean to be disrespecftul even though I can come off that way at times. I"m sorry about that. I just hate to see this great show go down the tubes the way it already has. I also think the hiatius or whatever they are calling it was a big mistake.

Doctor Who: Podshock - Episode 153
Outside of the fact that I was literally just finishing breakfast before we began recording this episode and feeling a bit off my game (takes a bit before the coffee kicks in -- actually I think I ran out of coffee that day, I had make do with emergency rations), the fact of the matter is that I had not seen/heard The Tenth Planet in years. So I wasn't prepared to review it for this episode.
So I will have to revisit The Tenth Planet again soon and give a proper review of it.

Thanks Dave... It looks like you grabbed that image of the book using your new "web cam" camera (Logitech QuickCam). It seems to be working well for you. It did well on your re-launch show of daveac vblog last week too.
[POSSIBLE SPOILER] Retro Console Room & Ep 1 Villain?
Comparing this to The Trial of a Time Lord is way off though. The Trial season had way lower viewer figures, as The Next Doctor was the 2nd most watched program on Christmas day on BBC, with a peak at 12.58 million viewers. The stories of the last two specials were not nearly as weak as the stories for The Trial either.
Obviously people are still loving the Doctor, so I don't see it ending anytime soon. I have a feeling that Matt Smith's 1st episode will have HUGE viewer figures. People are excited to see what he will be like as the Docotr, and what direction Moffat will be taking the show. So far, Moffat's episodes over the past few years have been some of the most well received, which is bringing a lot of excitement for the future of the show. Even though there have been a few mis-steps, I am really enjoying the specials and can't wait for the next one. And I am not alone in that feeling. I think the cast and crew have done an amazing job of re-inventing the Doctor for a whole new generation, while keeping most of the old viewers as well.

From the Beginning: The First Doctor
I actually liked LOVE AND MONSTERS but haven't seen it more than once and have no real desire to but I also like THE CHASE but because it's so bad. I mean it's bad. The production is bad, the story is bad but in hindsight a chase through time is an exciting idea but here it's just played for comedy and...it is laughable but for all the wrong reasons. Very laughable IMO>
TIME MEDDLER: Not sure I agree. I liked this one and I think it is the basis for much of the later stuff, TIME MONSTER, the whole Master thing, KING'S DEMONS, MARK OF THE RANI, and others. I didn't find it boring at all and found the companions to be funny and interesting. For once we deal with them trying to find food and wonderng what would happen to them if the Doc is gone for good. I like how the two interact with the townspeople, with Stephen defending Vicki. Vicki would seem to have the upper hand being the longer comp. I also found the Doctor/Monk rivalry interesting in that the older looking Doctor had the upper hand part of the time but the Monk...he seemed more selfish to me than anything else. He really caused the deaths and suffering and...was that village woman raped? The Doctor has a good rapport with one of the village woman. More could have been done with the Vikings themselves and the danger of being in that time. I found the dialog sharp and witty enough and it was interesting to see the other TARDIS, something we're too used to now but taken from the POV of the time...that this was the first other TARDIS we saw and the first of the Doc's people that we saw...this is really well done and entertaining.

Warrior's Gate
This ep is not as good as the first but it's still pretty strong. I love Adric and K9 walking around in the void and the two work well together and must appeal to children everywhere. We get a bit more info but not much. I don't understand why, having chosen to go outside in the first place, Romana is so anatagonistic to Rorvik and his men. The Gundan scenes could have been better and been more action oriented but that could be Tom Baker wanting it to be funny...which it's only slightly funny and we've heard a lot of his Tomisms by now ("You're a machine, I usually get on so well with machine" and "He must have forgotten his lines") and they're not that good to be honest but okay in this. Also why is Romana screaming her head off when she's already met the Tharil and it wasn't violent or anything...maybe this one looked violent because it was attacked or hurt or whatever but it's the same one, Biroc, I think. Tom's meeting with Rorvik is well done but the fact is that nothing much happens in this episode after Romana is captured and the Doctor is found by the traders. But still that's enough I guess as it's not boring. I still want to know what the mysteries here are and the way out. ANd poor K9 will he ever be all right again? It was also sort of set up that Romana might leave when she tells Adric she and Doc might go their separate ways. Which makes Adric seem upset...he often sees them as his family now and likes it the way it is and relies on the Doctor ("Oh I wish the Doctor were here.").

Another Forum Option
While I can handle the new site as is, I must admit I would prefer a full-on forum for posting.
I used to play on a Risk-clone game site that had a traditional forum built into the rest of the site, so it was still only one account.
From the Beginning: The First Doctor
This was an interesting story. For me it is the first hint at what we have now. i.e. a historical episode with a sci-fi twist in it, as opposed to the previous historicals which merely place our heroes in a certain period in history with just the natural intrique of the day.
The Meddler is not mean spirited and obviosly want to help the injured Saxon. Likewise I do not think he would have killed the Doctor, Vicki or Steven, just get them out the way until he's done.
Got to say the brash nature they gave Steven is a little annoying (though different from his behavior in the Chase), I hope his character will settle down in the coming episodes. Vicki is great but keeps saying things that place her from the Sixties rather than the Future.
I found the whole story, a little slow and got to the end of episode 4, thinking that very little had actually happened. There was some nice farce with everyone missing each other between the village and the monastry. The twist at the end was good. I think I recall that the Doctor does meet the Meddler again, so that should be interesting. As with the Chase, this season just has two many people being hit over the head (another two in this story).
So now I have watched the first 2 seasons, only twenty eight or so more seasons to go (plus a movie and some specials).
I think a lot more reconstructions are coming up in the near future.

JOINT BASE MYER-HENDERSON HALL, Va. - Once held at gunpoint and repeatedly gang raped, 24-year-old Monika Korra says the incident that occurred five years ago in Dallas does not define her.
"I will not let my rape define me," she said emphatically April 11 as she stood before a crowd of Joint Force Headquarters -- National Capital Region and the U.S. Army Military District of Washington service members and civilians at Conmy Hall on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. "The night of the rape, they took all my things from me, but not my spirit. It is possible to get back up. It is possible to come back."
A native of Norway, Korra was one of her country's promising high school distance runners when she was recruited by Southern Methodist University to run cross-country track. The evening of Dec. 5, 2009, she and friends were walking home from a gathering when the attack occurred.
"Five years ago when I was on my way home with a friend, I was kidnapped and gang raped by three men," she said. "I promised myself to get back up, to fight and to get my life back."
Korra's presentation was part of the Sexual Harassment/Sexual Assault Response Program's professional development training and helped mark April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The Army's theme for the month is "Speak up! A voice unheard is an Army defeated."
"If you think about sexual assault in the military, that's a crime within the family," said JFHQ-NCR MDW commanding general Maj. Gen. Jeffrey S. Buchanan. "Sexual assaults break down the bonds of trust within the family. If we cannot trust one another, we cannot get the job done."
Buchanan acknowledged that it takes personal courage to speak up, intervene and prevent a sexual assault.
"One must have courage to speak up and help others who have been the victim of this terrible crime," he said. "One must have the courage to speak up and come forward if you are a victim."
Introducing Korra to the crowd, Buchanan said Korra had the courage to speak up and confront her attackers.
"My greatest hope is that the courage she demonstrates every single day helps inspire you, to give you additional courage to do the kinds of things we need to do to prevent sexual assaults," he said.
Korra spoke openly and candidly about the assault and her continuing recovery from the experience.
"I called my friends and family the next day, and they all said, 'We will get through this together,'" she said. "I never felt as though I was alone, and that was very important to me."
Korra's three attackers were arrested within days of the attack. One of them received a 25-year prison sentence and the other two received life sentences, thanks in large part to her testimony.
"My attackers are spending the rest of their lives in prison, and because of that, I'm able to live my life in freedom," she said.
Korra graduated from SMU in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science degree in applied physiology and a minor in psychology. That same year she became a rape victim advocate through the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center's volunteer training program. She is a certified ACISM health and fitness specialist who currently works as a personal trainer and running coach. She is also the founder and chief executive officer of the Monika Korra Foundation. She is currently finishing work on a book about her ordeal that will be published next year.
Following Korra's presentation, Buchanan called sexual assault a "heinous crime" and said that tremendous progress has been made inside the military to ensure that justice is done.
"In the last two years, the Army has tried 79 sexual assault cases that civilian authorities would not even try," he said. "Of those 79, we got a 78 percent conviction rate."

What is "criticism", who are "critics" and what sort of social role should they play in determining taste and value judgments are just a couple of the questions that New York Times journalist A.O. Scott attempts to explore in his charming, new book Better Living Through Criticism: how to think about art, pleasure, beauty and truth. Scott's interest in the topic is certainly personal given his livelihood is based upon the notion that open societies benefit from a profession that functions to analyze, probe, and lay bare deeper truths about our various forms of expression, communication and creativity. Scott's tone is warm and self-reflexive. He understands and in some cases, sympathizes with the anti-intellectual strain of discourse that mocks his profession as elitist or unnecessary nor does he shy away from discussing criticism's inherent flaws and blind spots but he also makes a strong case for its noble role as an exercise in thinking about important matters connected to a democratic and increasingly culturally, complex society.
In 1981, my family flew to Hermosa Beach, California to visit my Aunt Sally and enjoy the California sun. I was a 13 year old Middle School student, had never been outside of the Midwest, and my idea of California was all about Hollywood movies and a 1950's idea of beach/surfing culture. Walking around the sleepy beach town that first day opened my eyes to the dark menace that was the early 80's punk rock scene in and around LA, including sleepy Hermosa Beach. That brief glimpse, and the cassettes that I purchased during that trip, changed the trajectory of the remainder of my youth and ultimately influenced my view of the world. Under the Big Black Sun: A Personal History of L.A. Punk provides the real story behind what I glimpsed when I was 13. Told through chapter-length tales from some of the scenesters that survived that dangerous and nihilistic time, Under the Big Black Sun is a vibrant front-row seat into a legendary scene the likes of which we aren't likely to see again.
Julie Paschkis, the author/illustrator of "Flutter & Hum: Animal Poems", is a painter who has won awards for her artwork accompanying other picture books. Here, her illustrations depict folk art patterns that are both colorful and vivid; the perfect complement to the simple yet reflective poems. The poems appear in English on one page, and in Spanish on the opposite page. Despite her considerable abilities in constructing beautiful verse, she states that she is not a poet per se, nor a native Spanish speaker for that matter.Nonetheless, this slim volume depicts wonderfully all sorts of animals in motion- fluttering, slithering,leaping,stretching and the like.
A beautifully illustrated poetry book that is both fun and playful. Be prepared for young readers wanting to reread this many times over!
Somethingtofoodabout is a testament to what you can do when you reach the upper echelons of pop cultural cool. By all accounts, Questlove (drummer, producer, musical director, NYT bestselling author and culinary bon vivant) has reached the highest heights of hipness and now is basically tenured in the university of cool and can seemingly do whatever he pleases. Thankfully, Questlove's celebrity was earned the old-fashioned way, through hard work and talent, as opposed to the "Kardashian" way, and he continuously makes interesting creative choices, including this new book. Instead of creating a celebrity cookbook or turning himself into yet another made-for-tv food impresario, Questlove gives us a book about the creative aspect of high-level cooking, filled with interesting photographs and rich conversations with chefs at the white-hot center of the food world. The book is artistic, unexpected, and casually but totally unapologetically cool. Check it out.
Summer is the perfect time for
light reading, so I have another graphic novel to tell you all about! Lucy
Knisley, an artist with a knack for turning her personal experiences into
entertaining graphic memoirs, is back with Something New! Literally—that's the
name of the book.
Knisley has written about the
important role of food in her life, and some of her exciting travel adventures,
but this time she's covering her experiences grappling with the beautiful and
incredibly stressful task of getting married. This lovely memoir includes many
fun components, such as, a section on to buy, or DIY, how she and her husband
met, and wedding traditions from around the world. I'd recommend this to book
to anyone, whether they're married, engaged, or single, because honestly, it's
just fun going on this wedding
journey with Lucy Knisley.

Knisley? Be sure to check out some of her other titles here.
Mira loves to "doodle, draw, color, and paint" so her room is filled with vibrant pictures that she created herself. Her neighborhood, on the other hand, is dull and gray. Until the day a muralist moved in. Together the two of them set off to paint the town.
Based on a true story, this picture book is about the East Village neighborhood in San Diego. It tells the story of a community that Rafael and Candace Lopez brings together and the creation of the Urban Art Trail. Lopez (who is also the illustrator of the book) along with community leaders, teachers, artists, and residents worked together to turn their neighborhood into a walkable piece of art. This picture book is an inspiring story with wonderful illustrations that young children will love.
Lane Smith's picture book titled: There Is a Tribe of Kids is both curious and educational, plus, it's a reference book. Patrons have traditionally asked librarians questions such as: what do you call a group of this or that, whether it be animals (animal aggregations), or some other group. Familiar animal aggregations are: a school of fish, a flock of geese, pack of dogs, you get the idea. In Smith's book, a lone child takes us on a journey from animal group to animal group and eventually to a group of children. Lane Smith's illustrations are truly amazing and full of antics and delightful detail. Lane Smith has written and illustrated many children's books, and Lane received a Caldecott Honor Award for Grandpa Green. He was named an Eric Carle Artist for "lifelong innovation in the field of children's picture books" in 2012!
Do you need more dinosaurs, time travelers, and girl power
in your life? If so, I have two fantastic graphic novels for you. First up, is Paper Girls, Volume 1 by Brian
K. Vaughn, the writer named by Wired Magazine as " the greatest comic book visionary of the last five years." This suspenseful mystery starts
with a slow burn as four paper delivery girls head out to cover their route the
morning after Halloween in 1988. After
the girls accidentally set off a strange machine, the story kicks off at
break-neck speed, and soon the girls are facing off against dinosaurs,
laser-blasting knights, and sub-human creatures that might just be from the future. It's intense, fast-paced, wicked
fun, and the series is only just beginning.
Also, make sure to check out the Lumberjanes series by Grace
Ellis and Noelle Stevenson. Lumberjanes follows five "hardcore lady types"
spending the summer at a crazy camp surrounded by bizarre supernatural
mysteries. The girls fight werewolves, solve riddles, and avoid the ever-watchful
eye of their group counselor in this manic, off-beat, fantastic read. This
series has been out for a while, but you can catch up on Hoopla digital.
Both of these series are a great mash-up of sci-fi, fantasy,
action, and mystery with fabulous artwork. So what are you waiting for?
To say that Ashley Bryan has been around for many years is
an understatement. After all, he is only 92. His work has been recognized by
many and he has been the recipient of many awards. The book Ashley Bryan'spuppets: making something from everything is not only full of amazing, clever
and unique puppets but also full of great and thoughtful prose.
Ashley Bryan grew up in NYC during the depression. He and
his sister started salvaging for things they could reuse at a young age. He
made his first puppet at age eleven. His puppets are made from tangled fishing
nets, weathered bones, sea glass, and driftwood….whatever else he can find. He sees
possibilities in all things. His characters and poems include Anansi: the
trickster and storyteller, Kwesi: conquering strength (who looks like an
elephant) and Animata: good character (made of shells and an upside down champagne
glass as a crown).
Jojo: his storyteller
In every finger of my glove I tap
tall tales of peace and love
The fingers of my well-gloved
hands store stories told in foreign lands.
I wish I could share every amazing and unique picture. But
that would get me into trouble so I will suggest that you read this or one of
his other fantastic books and you'll see what I mean.
Graphic novels have a reputation for being all about
superheroes and explosions, but they can be a really great format to tell more
nuanced stories as well. I'd like to shine a spotlight on two evocative,
character-focused, slice-of-life stories that really shine in a graphic novel
The first is a manga called Solanin by Inio Asano. The story
follows Meiko, a recent college grad, and her friends a group of 20-somethings
living in the background of a Japanese city. Over the course of the summer they
grapple with all of the challenges of new adulthood: starting careers, finding
their purpose in life, and how to break it to their parents that they've moved
in with their boyfriend. Though the characters are Japanese, the themes are
universal. Solanin is a novel with fantastic art work, and a story that will
stay with me for a long time.
The second graphic novel is called Token by Alisa Kwitney,
with illustrations by Joelle Jones. Token is a story about fifteen year old
Shira Spektor, living in Miami, Florida in 1987. She lives with her father in
an apartment building on South Beach, and spends most of her time with her best
friend, a spunky 80-year-old woman who shoots straight from the hip. When her
father starts dating his secretary, and the girls at school turn decidedly
nasty, Shira turns to shoplifting. Just when she feels that there's no one she
can talk to, she meets a tall handsome stranger. She is falling in love for the
first time just as everything else in her life seems to be falling apart. Token
is fun, flirty, and timeless.
Both books have a lazy summer vibe perfect for the upcoming
warmer months.

Rashid, unbeaten on 120 overnight, went on to make 180 before he was caught behind off Peter Trego, while Rich Pyrah added a quickfire 55 off 54 balls to propel the White Rose to 505 for nine.
Somerset's openers Marcus Trescothick and Nick Compton responded in a positive manner, with the former reaching 53 before being trapped in front by Jack Brooks.
England batsman Compton was unbeaten on 33 to help Somerset reach 92 for one.
The bowlers also toiled at Edgbaston, where Middlesex racked up 284 for three on day one against defending champions Warwickshire, largely thanks to opener Sam Robson's unbeaten century.
Robson followed up his 129 in the second innings of the draw against Surrey at Lord's last week with 136 not out for Middlesex, who won the toss, today, while Chris Rogers, Joe Denly and Dawid Malan could not prosper despite making decent starts.
Jeetan Patel (two for 53) was the pick of a Warwickshire attack missing Chris Woakes and Chris Wright - due to England Lions duty - and the injured Keith Barker.
Tim Phillips took three wickets and Alastair Cook scored an unbeaten fifty to give Essex the edge against Lancashire on day two of their LV= County Championship Division Two clash at Old Trafford.
Slow left-armer Phillips took three lower order wickets, with David Masters and Reece Topley taking two scalps apiece as Lancashire were all out for 177.
Essex then built on their 49-run first-innings lead to reach 120 for two at the close, with England captain Cook contributing eight fours in an unbeaten 57.
Jimmy Adams came to Hampshire's rescue with a gutsy 74 not out as his side were reduced to 165 for eight before rain ended the opening day at Bristol.
At one point the visitors were 97 for eight, but Danny Briggs (25 not out) joined skipper Adams in a fighting unbroken ninth-wicket stand.
Half-centuries by Matt Pardoe and Thilan Samaraweera took Worcestershire to 198 for three on a rain-shortened first day against Leicestershire at New Road.

Some of my favorite afternoons are spent with O on my bed. The light in my room is so crisp and sweet at this time of day and I love nothing more than scooping him up, tossing him on the covers and tickling him head to toe. This months topic was "revelry" and I can't think of a better example of this in our lives than our son. I think it's kind of a step further than joy, more of a loud, crazy excitement. I am always amazed at the complete weirdos Horace and I become when its just us and O hanging out. He really does bring out the loud Italian side of our name. Revelry to me is almost too much fun. Anyone with even a bit of introversion feels really uncomfortable in the midst of revelry, unless its just you and a toddler throwing socks, crawling under bent knees and laughing until it hurts on a bed in the afternoon.

Hi all,
Latest headache in my house: LO won't -- absolutely will not -- sit down to eat. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner. Throws a tantrum in the high chair. Tried the booster seat. Even tried sitting her on my lap and in a regular chair. Nothing works. The only way she's happy is if she's running around while eating, which I certainly don't want to encourage. Meal times are MISERABLE. Anyone have any experience with this? How did you deal with it? Is this a battle I should fight?
Thanks in advance!
