Heard on draft day: 'Aaron, could you put your agent on the line?'
Green Bay - Former Green Bay Packers vice president of finance Andrew Brandt recalled an uncomfortable moment during the 2005 draft when he had to extend the agonizing wait for quarterback Aaron Rodgers while general manager Ted Thompson decided whether he was going to select Rodgers with the 24th pick.
If you remember, Rodgers was considered for the No. 1 pick in the draft in '05, but after San Francisco chose Alex Smith over him, he was passed over time after time as teams addressed other needs. It was an uncomfortable couple of hours for Rodgers, who had to wait with his agent, Mike Sullivan, in the green room with cameras chronicling his agony.
Brandt, writing in MMQB.com, said that the Packers had roughly 20 players with first-round grades and when their pick came up at No. 24, Rodgers was the only one left. It was Thompson's first draft as GM and he had a guy named Brett Favre on the roster about to start his 15th season.
Thompson used all of his allotted time to make the pick, and Brandt reveals that most of it was spent waiting to see if someone needing a quarterback would make a can't-refuse offer to the Packers. It never happened.
Brandt writes:
"A minute or so after we were on the clock (it was 15 minutes then), Ted Thompson asked me to call Rodgers' agent, Mike Sullivan, who had been sitting with Rodgers under the glare of TV lights for the past six hours, and keep him on the phone as we decide. I called the number I had and got a terse 'Hello…'"
"No, this is Aaron."
I felt for him, and now I had to keep him waiting more.
"Hi Aaron, it's Andrew Brandt with the Green Bay Packers. Can I talk to Mike?"
Brandt had to keep Sullivan waiting until Thompson made a decision. Eventually, he got the OK to tell the agent that Rodgers was the pick.
It wasn't the best-received pick given all the needs the Packers had, but we all know how it turned out. Interesting stuff happens on draft day.

My Frustration with PS Plus
I like Playstation Plus for many reasons, first and probably the most popular reason being: free video games, I mean who doesn't like something thats free right? However in my personal opinion I have to say that the US region for PS Plus is extremely lacking in contrast to the EU region which gets some triple A titles such as Batman Arkham City, Sleeping Dogs, Mortal Kombat, Red Dead Redemption, etc. whereas the US Reigon is even lucky to get more than a single Retail game a month other than the default games such as inFamous 2, LittleBigPlanet 2, and Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One. When the US reigon does get a retail game, most of the time it is some cheap game that you could probably buy now for 10 maybe 15 bucks.
Now I feel as a consumer that if something is being put to it's full potential in one area and the area I am in is getting the cold shoulder so to speak, that this is unfair and wrong. I feel that if you are going to advertise "12 hit games for PS3" I should get a hit game like Arkham City, instead you give me a free game that I have never heard of such as "Anomaly", this is not fair advertising.
Now I'm not one of those people who shrug off the indie titles, heck if we didn't have indie titles we might not have games like Slender or MineCraft both of which have become huge hits in pop culture. However when I pay 50 bucks for a service yearly I expect and want the best they can give, now if the EU region were in the same situation as the US region then I can understand the lack of popular game but, IMO like I said before, I feel that the EU is being treated royally whereas the US is being treated like a unknown second cousin.
I just wanted to get my frustrations out, and now they are (don't breathe them in they are probably carsenogenic). I like Playstation Plus I just wish that we could get better quality games.
Re: My Frustration with PS Plus
Not every update has to have these big hit titles; it's annoying to hear these complaints from time to time, people expect way too much out of the service.

Did you actually give anomaly warzone a chance or did you not play it because you never heard of it? Also two seperate entites are responsible for the content in each region, its not like sony is purposely negotiating good titles for the EU and worse one for the US.

I was just using Anomaly as an example and no I didn't play it I saw gameplay for and I didn't care for it . I know that Sony isn't purposely doing this I was just laying out some of my frustrations.
Re: My Frustration with PS Plus
I would totally disagree with the complaining if it wasn't for the fact that EU really gets top selling games while the american PS+ gets lesser known games. Sony never promised to deliver a hit game per week, but if they can give it then why not?

I never said that they said every week however it is advertised that each of the games is a "hit". When I here a hit I think of Arkham City or Uncharted, not some indie game (Sorry if I came off as aggresive lol)
Re: My Frustration with PS Plus
Another thing that stops the US from getting mainstream titles is the fact that here the companies are a lot more greedy than their counterparts in EU and are not willing to accept less royalty than what they get for a physical copy. Another thing could also be that the publisher might have a contract with Microsoft (since it has the majority marketshare here in the US) to make it so that the Xbox marketplace has exclusive rights to it's online sales.
It's like when Batman Arkum Asylum was developed. It was advertised on TV that it was a PS3 exclusive, but Microsoft paid Warner Bros enough money to break contract with Sony and pay the legal fees so that they could steal Playstation's exclusive.
All of these things could be stopping us US players from getting more mainstream titles than EU. Remember that Xbox has market majority in this country but Playstation has market majority in other countries. Businesses tend to side with what game system has the market majority.
Re: My Frustration with PS Plus
probably the top dogs managing usplus are greedier than euplus and don't use our money to secure deals like the managers of eu

The S&P 500 is up 29% year-to-date and growth stocks showing relative strength, holding near highs, are everywhere. But just because a stock is acting well doesn't mean it's buyable.
The good news is that three names in this week's Big Cap 20 list of top-performing large-cap growth stocks are moving sideways after recent breakouts. All three are on breakout watch as they form bullish flat-base patterns.
Canada-based Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX) is working on a third-stage flat base. It's also best when a flat base shows tight, sideways trading. Valeant doesn't pass muster in this regard, but the correction from the high in the base to the low is a moderate 11%, within the 15% threshold. Valeant just started its sixth week of consolidation. A flat base needs a minimum of five weeks to form.
The company makes a wide range of pharmaceutical products, primarily in the areas of dermatology, eye health, neurology and branded generics. Its growth-through-acquisition strategy has rewarded shareholders richly in recent years.
In August 2012, the company bought skin-care company Medicis Pharmaceutical for $2.6 billion. Earlier this year, the company acquired Bausch & Lomb for $8.7 billion.
Recent acquisitions are driving revenue growth. Third-quarter sales jumped 74% from a year ago to $1.54 billion. It was the second straight quarter of accelerating growth. Full-year earnings are seen rising 36% this year and 42% in 2014.
Meanwhile, Cerner (CERN) broke out from a shallow, cup-shaped base in September. It rallied 17% before settling into its current second-stage flat base. Cerner's pattern is somewhat tighter than Valeant's. It's only pulled back 8% off its recent high.
The medical software maker caters to doctors, hospitals, clinics and labs. In late October, the company reported earnings per share of 35 cents, up 17% from a year ago. Sales rose 8% to $727.8 million. Bookings in the quarter rose 21% to $928 million.
Other fundamental metrics at Cerner are solid. Annual return on equity and pre-tax margin hit all-time highs in 2012 of 16% and 24% respectively.
Las Vegas Sands (LVS) is working on a second-stage flat base as it holds just above its 10-week moving average.
The Las Vegas-based casino operator has a large presence in Sin City, but gets most of its revenue now from Macau, off mainland China. In the third quarter, total revenue rose 32% to $3.57 billion. In Macau, revenue rose 43% to $2.34 billion. The company has four large resorts in Macau, including Sands Cotai Central, which opened last year.
Las Vegas Sands will pay a quarterly dividend of 35 cents share Dec. 31 to shareholders of record Dec. 20. It currently yields 2%.

Although smaller than expected, it was a very nice appartement! Everything was in good condition, the location in the old Center of Lisbon is really good. And Luis was very kind and gave as a lot of useful information to explore the City.
We enjoyed our stay here in this nice neighborhood. The appartment seems to be new in use and is equipped well and very spaceous. We experienced some difficulty with electricity in the house, but all in all it was a good place to stay.
Nice and beautifull appartment in the centre of Lissabon. The room is clean and comfortable. The hostes Christiane is very kind, speaks english and likes to inform you about the city. We have enjoyd it.
Beautiful apartment, well located and comfortable. We had some problems on our way to Lisbon so we arrived late, but they helped us with everything and were really comprehensive.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The apartment is very cosy and beautiful. It is identical to the fotos. Cristóvão is a very friendly person. He gave us some tips what you have to see in Lisbon. He also explain us how to get to different points of the city. Alfama is a very nice and calm part of the city, so that you can sleep very good. Across from the apartment is a public WC. The woman who works there is very friendly, but talks any time ;-) There weren`t so many people who use the public WC, so that the street ist very quiet. You have a wonderful view, when you left the Apartment. We love Alfama and we would like to go there again. Thank you very much Cristóvão.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The host was very punctually, an waited for us in the apartment. It was always very easy to get in kontakt with them and they were very informative at the beginning as well as during the whole stay. The apartment is very functional and children friendly. We enjoyed very much staying there and we'll gladly recommend it to any other who wants to visit Lisbon.
Nice apartment tucked away off the beaten track. Would recommend
Grâce aux indications de Cristovao , nous avons trouvé le logement sans problème et Marta nous y attendait à notre arrivée, avec un chaleureux accueil. Merci.
La situation du logement est excellente, dans une ruelle très calme, mais proche de points animés, un arrêt du tram 28 est aussi tout proche, le métro à moins de 10 minutes.
L'accueil à été très sympa , avec des conseils de visites.
L'appartement est très bien équipé, malgré le manque de fenêtre, on n'à pas l'impression de dormir dans un placard.
Le problème c'est qu'il y a une odeur d'humidité quand on entre. On s'y habitue vite,mais elle s'imprègne dans les vêtements.
Si cela pouvait être résolu, ce serait THE appartement tip-top!

text: In recognition of the importance of the data the SUVI will gather, and the challenges associated with designing and building the instruments, Lockheed Martin assembled a highly capable team with a substantial record of success in providing similar instruments for other missions. The Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory (LMSAL) within the ATC, well known for solar instrument development and solar physics research, leads the GOES-R SUVI effort. LMSAL designed and developed the GOES-N,-O and –P Solar X-ray Imager (SXI) instruments and oversaw their successful calibration on-orbit following launches in 2006, 2009 and 2010, respectively.GOES is a critical part of the U.S. satellite constellation for environmental observations. Operational since 1975, the GOES program is operated by NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS). The GOES satellites are a key element in National Weather Service (NWS) operations, providing a continuous stream of environmental information (weather imagery and sounding data) used to support weather forecasting, severe-storm tracking, and meteorological research. Along with weather forecasting, the GOES program also provides data to support space weather forecasting, public safety, and scientific researchers use the data to better understand land, atmosphere, ocean, and climate interactions. The future GOES-R mission is the next generation of geostationary weather satellites. The advanced spacecraft and instrument technology used on the GOES-R series is expected to improve the quality and timeliness of forecasts, expanding the safety and economic benefits to the public. The GOES Program is managed by NOAA, which establishes system requirements, provides funding for the development and operation of the system, and collects and distributes environmental data for the United States. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., manages the SUVI instrument as a part of its support to the acquisition and development of the GOES-R series of satellites and its instruments. The ATC is the research and development organization of Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company (LMSSC). LMSSC, a major operating unit of Lockheed Martin Corporation, designs and develops, tests, manufactures and operates a full spectrum of advanced-technology systems for national security and military, civil government and commercial customers. Chief products include human space flight systems; a full range of remote sensing, navigation, meteorological and communications satellites and instruments; space observatories and interplanetary spacecraft; laser radar; ballistic missiles; missile defense systems; and nanotechnology research and development.

text: Elementary students in Bar Harbor lived life with some extra challenges Tuesday.The school hosted a "Special Needs Awareness Day" where students performed everyday tasks with a twist."I definitely have a better understanding, it's harder for them to move around and stuff," said seventh grade student Haleigh Smith.The students of Conners Emerson School in Bar Harbor performed different tasks in new and challenging ways as part of "Special Needs Awareness Day.""I think it definitely raises awareness in children, it teaches tolerance of others it shows that kids aren't necessarily disabled," said teacher Jeanne Gilpatrick.Stations were set up throughout the gym where students participated in different activities to learn about disabilities and their effects.At the Cerebral Palsy station, students were challenged to spread jelly on bread while someone tugs at their arms.The lesson was to teach students how a message from the body to the brain gets confused."It was pretty hard because they're yanking your arms and you're trying to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich," said Smith.The students then wrote their feelings on a board in the gym.Former student Brian Cummings spoke at the event. Cummings is a Freshman at Maine Maritime Academy who has a reading disability. He hopes the students will walk away with a better understanding and appreciation of others."I definitely had my days when I was down, I didn't think I would go to college but I had teachers that motivated me," he said.

The girl and the dragon
This was her last moment of life and she was absolutely terrified.
All the teachings of the priests of the glory awaiting those in the afterlife never entered her mind. She had been a good girl haven listened to her father and the Priests and the Elders. She helped when help was needed, even unasked for sometimes. But all that never entered her fear struck mind. When your 12 and teeth bigger than your head are about to eat you, somethings are far from thought.
It was a little early for pin' tano berries but on this side of the hill well sheltered from the trade winds by the hugh ironwood trees, they ripened faster. There were a few people in the village still with the Cough and Tegain knew the berries were in short supply this early in spring. Only the most scarlet and softest were picked. No need to make the brew anymore bitter then it already is. Even here a lot of them were not quite ready yet.
It had taken a few seconds to realize all the birds had fallen silent. And like a untrained child, she had stood up and looked around. She immediately knew her mistake and silently brated herself. The sound of enormous wings could only mean one thing.
Without even looking, she sprinted for the Ironwoods. Panic was welling up , but she tried her best to hold it at bay. Or at least not let it consume her mind. The trees were her only hope and they weren't that far. She could hear the incrediable swooshing coming closer. She risked a quick glance back and her throat almost closed. The dragon was very close and was huge! And a Red! She was doomed, even the giant trees might not be enough to stop this one. Reds were the most feared of all the Dragons. Fearing nothing and incrediably hard to kill, whole villages have been consumed in a single attack. It was too close and too fast. She knew she would never make it. Tears filled her eyes. A dip she couldn't see and the ground was suddenly not where her foot was expecting it. Stumbling she went down onto her knees and quick like a long eared regaan she was back on her feet. A cyclon wind blew her off her feet and almost before she hit the ground she was grabbed by the dargon.
This was her last moment of life and she was absolutely terrified.
Claws as long as her body held her in a crushing grip. She couldn't draw a breath but the dragon's head filled her world. She was lifted higher and the long sinuous neck shot forward, a mouth filled with teeth bigger than her head filled her vision. She would have screamed but there was no air in her lungs. Suddenly the jaws stopped dead, a for a second of eternity she stared down the gaping maw of a the biggest Dragon she ever had the misfortune of meeting.
Suddenly the Dargon's head pulled back and if Tegain could have read the facial expressions of dragon kind she would have said consternation. The Dragon regarded her, head unmoving, eyes unblinking. Tegain beat her tiny fists against the claws but to no avail. Her lungs were runnng out, her vision starting to go red. So fast she couldn't follow, the long neck shot forward and she was staring at a hugh nostril. But she was passing out and the terror was almost beyond her now. Her hair swept forward blinding the little vision she had left as the Dragon inhaled.
'It's smelling me..'' she though and suddenly the crushing pressure was gone, she sucked in hugh gulps of air. She realized she was falling, the ground seemed such a long way down. 'It threw me?' All thought of the dragon were lost as she slammed into the ground, the little air she had gotten exploded from her chest. Everything swam and she couldn't breath yet again. Tegain struggled for breath and watched the dragon watching her almost in as much terror as she had at first beheld it. Then it snaked forward like lightening and pinned her to the ground effortlessly. Again giant breaths as it smelled her. The mighty head drew back and with almost delicate care, the Dragon extended a free claw and pulled her left hand out where it could see it. Tegain still fought for breath and her head swam between terror and confusion. The Dragon studied her hand, the one she had always been so self conscious of. Most people thought 7 fingers was a curse.
Once again she was released and she still fought for breath. The Dragon watched her for a second then ever so delicately a claw came forward and gently pushed down on her chest then stopped the pressure. Again the claw pushed down, then released. Suddenly, sweat sweat air rushed into her starving lungs. Great racking breaths filled her world.
She tried to stand to run but between the burning of her chest and all the aches of a hard landing, all she managed was getting to her knees and crawling. Again the Dragon gently reached out and causually knocked her over. She tried to get up again and once more she was knocked down. This time she was pinned gently to the ground and the Dragon studied her.
For the first time Tegain screamed then screamed again. The Dragon cocked it's head regarding her. What looked to Tegain as a shaking of the massive head and what could have passed for the rolling of giant gemstone eyes, she was scooped up and after a couple of bounds, the dragon soared into the air, Tegain in claw.
She screamed again but this time it wasn't in fear of the Dragon... well mostly.

Resurgent Red Bull have plenty in the pipeline
By Alan Baldwin
BARCELONA (Reuters) - Red Bull are hoping that engine and chassis upgrades will help them beat Ferrari and Formula One champions Mercedes more often after Max Verstappen's Spanish Grand Prix victory on Sunday.
Apart from becoming the sport's youngest race winner, the 18-year-old Dutch driver secured the former world champions their first triumph since the 2014 Belgian Grand Prix.
It was also the first win since that August afternoon for engine suppliers Renault, even if the Red Bull cars now carry the name of Swiss watch company Tag Heuer after relations with the French manufacturer frayed almost to breaking point last year.
Red Bull have been busy mending fences since then, a necessary move given that nobody else was willing to take Renault's place, and team principal Christian Horner continued that process on Sunday.
"I have to pay compliments to our Tag Heuer engine partners who have done a great job in making progress," he said to laughter from reporters.
"I think that with what's in the pipeline for coming races there's a lot of reason for optimism. If we get what's advertised then it's going to put us in a position at least to race Ferraris every weekend," he added.
"Then, hopefully, we can get into trying to close that gap with Mercedes at certain circuits."
Renault will be testing an upgraded power unit at the Barcelona circuit this week with plans to introduce it at next month's Canadian Grand Prix for Red Bull and their own Renault factory team. Continued...

Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and Canterbury Park sign simulcast management agreement
WALKER — The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe (LLBO) and Canterbury Park Holding Corporation (CPHC) announced they have signed a management agreement that, subject to regulatory approvals, would allow LLBO to offer simulcast wagering on horse races from throughout the world at the Northern Lights Casino Hotel and Events Center in Walker.
Northern Lights Casino is part of the Leech Lake Gaming Division, which also owns and operates Palace Casino and White Oak Casino.
The Minnesota Horsemen's Benevolent And Protective Association, the Minnesota Quarter Horse Racing Association and LLBO also signed a purse fund contribution agreement that will use simulcast wagering revenue from Northern Lights to increase live racing purses at Canterbury Park.
"There is significant interest in live horse racing in northern Minnesota, so we see a great opportunity to meet customer demand and continue to support our mission of community development," said Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Chairwoman Carri Jones in a news release. "We are thrilled to create these agreements with Canterbury Park and the organizations that represent world-class thoroughbred and quarter horse racing."
These agreements are the first of their kind in Minnesota. Legislation passed in 2012 established the framework that enables LLBO and other sovereign nations currently authorized to conduct gaming under a tribal-state compact to receive telecasts of horse races for simulcast wagering purposes from Canterbury Park and other tracks around the world.
"This agreement will bring the excitement of live horse racing to northern Minnesota, which has a long history of supporting breeding, farming and other industries that make the Minnesota horse industry thrive," CPHC President Randy Sampson said. "Providing simulcast management services to the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe will increase exposure to racing and increase Minnesota's live racing purses."
Under the five-year agreement, the maximum length allowed by the 2012 legislation, LLBO will be solely responsible for simulcast operations within their casino. Canterbury will provide management and consulting services to LLBO that are necessary for simulcast wagering on thoroughbred and quarter horse races, including obtaining telecasts, wagering equipment, marketing and accounting.
This agreement between LLBO and CPHC is only the first step required for simulcast wagering to be offered at Northern Lights Casino. The management agreement requires the approval of the National Indian Gaming Commission and the Minnesota Racing Commission, with regulatory discussions expected to begin soon.

Curtis Rimmerman, MD
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in United States. It is therefore important for you to stay informed about heart health and what you can do to prevent or treat the disease. There are many types of heart disease, each having their own diagnosis and treatment options. Some forms can be prevented by making lifestyle changes including diet and exercise. Dr. Curtis Rimmerman, Cleveland Clinic cardiologist answers your questions.
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Thank you for joining us, let's begin with the questions.
Dr__Rimmerman: Let's get started.
BruceG: I'm 55 years old with aortic stenosis and insufficiency diagnosed in 12/06. (a symptomatic except for shortness of breath with extensive exercise) Based on the progression my doctor estimates valve replacement in 1 to 1-1/2 years from now. My understanding is a mechanical valve is recommended for my age group. I lead an active life style and concerned with taking Coumadin. My question is if I go with a biological valve and it needs to be replaced can I change to a mechanical. I know biological valves only last est. 7-15 years and that re operations are more difficult but I'm willing to take the risk if it will give me the life style I enjoy now and then when I'm older and not as active be on the Coumadin. I'm also told that there are new and better blood thinning drugs coming out. Can you comment on this? Thanks
Dr__Rimmerman: A biologic valve followed by a mechanical valve is entirely possible and makes sense if you live an active lifestyle and want to remain off Coumadin. Blood thinning drugs have either been approved or are emerging as options to warfarin. So far they are indicated for afib and not for valves - but stay tuned.
Brealm12: What are chances of 74 yr. old who had pneumonectomy 10 yrs. ago with severe aortic stenosis(valve .7-.9, EF 60-65%,gradient 50mmHg) with mediastinum shifted to enter a percutaneous or Core Valve trial? How long does it take to learn if you qualify for a trial?
Dr__Rimmerman: Every situation is a case by case basis - if you are truly interested in this procedure, I would suggest a visit to the Cleveland Clinic for this procedure - or we have a method to send in records for review. Please see http://www.clevelandclinic.org/heartnurse to contact us regarding an evaluation.
piyush1175: is there a robotic replacement for aortic valve in near future?
Dr__Rimmerman: There is catheter based replacement of the aortic valve which was recently approved by the FDA. Robotic replacement appears not to be imminent.
BruceG: I'm 55 years old with aortic stenosis and insufficiency diagnosed in 12/06. (a symptomatic except for shortness of breath with extensive exercise), on 2/11 my valve area was 1.0, Max. Velocity 3.9, Mean Pressure 28 and injection fraction 61-65%. With no symptoms at what point do you consider replacement.
Dr__Rimmerman: With no symptoms, aortic valve replacement is not indicated. Replacement in asymptomatic patients could be considered as you approach an aortic valve area of 0.6 - 0.7 cm sq. Check out ACC.org and look at the valvular heart disease treatment document. We also have a tool on our website that is based on the ACC guidelines that you may be interested in.
dgatti1: Dr Rimmerman, I am scheduled for my 5th ablation in later this year. I have had sic sinus syndrome, atrial flutter, and now chronic afib. I had a pacemaker after my first ablation in 1994 so my ventricles are not the issue. I did enjoy 22 months of sinus rhythm after my last ablation. in 2009. My question is if I continue having ablations does there come a time when I have had too many and my will heart will not function normally I am 62 years old and have remained active all my adult life. (I still run 10 -15 miles a week. Thank you
Dr__Rimmerman: One might consider given your preserved functional capacity after so many ablations that you accept your abnormal heart rhythm at the present time given your heart rate is well controlled. Studies have demonstrated no great superiority of rhythm vs. rate control. Please be mindful of additional radiation exposure with future procedures.
dliving41: I am a 70 year male who exercises 6-7 days a week. When doing aerobic exercises, my heart rate exceeds 140. When playing tennis, it can exceed 150 (I wear a heart rate monitor). I had a successful ablation in April, 2010. However, a cat scan performed after the ablation showed a fair amount of calcification in the proximal portions of the left coronary system, left main, LAD and Cx. I take Crestor (40 mg) and an 81 mg aspirin. My total cholesterol in September was 167 with a HDL of 86. When atrial fib was common, at times I would have a heart pause when I returned to Sinus rhythm. Should I reduce the intensity of my exercise? I had my ablation at the Clinic
Dr__Rimmerman: It would be important to distinguish if your heart rhythm is recurrent afib or normal sinus rhythm. If it is an underlying normal rhythm it is of less concern. If you have not had a stress test to assess your coronary calcification with exercise, please discuss this with your doctor.
DRJ110145: 66 year old. had pulmonary vein ablation about 2 yrs ago. Am sensitive to feeling my heart rate. This generates some anxiety, the HR goes up and some PACs. Am taking a low does of Paxil daily and in last annual appt. with EP, he is suggesting a very low dose of a beta blocker. While that should reduce my HR, any issues with combining with Paxil?
Dr__Rimmerman: No concerns regarding the proposed medication combination.
dliving41: You mentioned radiation concerns with frequent ablations. Any plans at the Clinic for utilizing the MRI for ablations?
Dr__Rimmerman: I am not aware of using MRI and I apologize that I do not specifically work in that area.
JMG9620: Is it possible to have a myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries without blockage of any kind?
Dr__Rimmerman: Yes. Especially as it pertains to coronary artery spasm. Also patients with minimal obstruction can still rupture a plaque which can cause a heart attack. Sometimes the obstruction is not visible to the naked eye even at the time of heart catheterization. We have learned this via intravascular ultrasound studies (IVUS)
JMG9620: Can heart attacks be silent without the classic symptoms? Do heart attacks occur without symptoms in individuals with perfectly normal coronary arteries and who lack a family history of such events?
Dr__Rimmerman: Approximately 30 % of patients have no symptoms or have extremely atypical symptoms when experiencing a heart attack. One key is to focus on your exertional capabilities. If for unexplained reasons, they diminish please consult with your physician.
hig: 61 yr & runner 30yrs. Now speed walk to save knees. Walk 3 mi. 3-4 days/wk. 2 yr ago noticed burning pressure middle of chest when walking after about ¼-1/2 mi. Would last 1 to1-1/4 mi then go away. Went to Dr. for EKG& exercise stress test-both normal, had chest pain during test. Dr. said it was fine. 1yr later at physical, told Dr. still get chest pain walking. Also rarely dancing or basketball. Also found that when walking after pain stopped, I tried to run & pain came back. Dr. sent me for EKG which was fine,& echo stress test. Got pains, but results very good. Dr. sent me to cardiologist for cardiac cath. It turned out good. Next annual went Dr., told him still had chest pain, sent me to cardiologist who looked at file & said, no further testing; not heart related. Sent me to pulmonary testing. Pulmonary did PFT-normal. Then exercise PFT, with Ibuterol- also ok. Dr. said pain must be muscular. How could this be if exertion triggers it?
Dr__Rimmerman: It sounds like you have been evaluated extremely thoroughly and life threatening conditions have been excluded. Certainly musculoskeletal discomfort with exercise merits consideration however, I agree it is perplexing that it has only occurred recently over a lifetime of exercise. If musculoskeletal causes are considered to be a possibility you may want to consider a rheumatology evaluation.
rojas9198: I have been having some kind of heartburn for the last two weeks and a small pain on my the right side of my chest as well as some pressure on the center of my chest. I went to Urgent care last week and an ECG showed normal. Also blood work eliminated a heart attack at the moment. Am I suffering from Angina?
Dr__Rimmerman: This could still represent angina and should be evaluated. Please discuss with your doctor in the near future and if concern remains, you may be a candidate for an exercise stress test.
srbrsn11: 60 years old. Had quadruple bypass 14 years ago. Very active walking/hiking/stationary bike/light weights. Last year I lost my right coronary artery bypass. RT coronary artery is 90% blocked and cannot by surgically fixed. I go through cycles of strength, where I can hike 20 miles a day, then without warning I lose my stamina and have difficulty walking short distances. Have discussed with my cardiologist. He has found nothing, EKG and stress tests are normal. Can this be silent heart attacks?
Dr__Rimmerman: If in fact you are hiking 20 miles a day it strongly suggests your heart is in excellent shape and your symptoms reflect fatigue due to exercise and not due to your heart. Especially - since your testing results have been satisfactory. If you would like a second opinion on your test results, we are happy help.
tirreno: I am 53 years old and had a triple by pass eleven years ago. I had a stent put in two years ago because one of my grafts collapsed. Since the stent I have felt the better than the previous nine years. This collapsed graft could have happened immediately after surgery. Why else could I have been feeling much better after the stent?
Dr__Rimmerman: I think you hit the nail on the head - I do not have another explanation.
agr583: I am a 28 year old male who has been experiencing chest pain for the last 2 and a half years. I have a thorough cardiac work up: multiple ekg's, echocardiogram, stress test, 48 hr halter monitor, and event monitor which show nothing. I'm wondering what this could be In addition, the pain normally comes along with exertion. I have normal blood pressure 129/83 and received my cholesterol today
Dr__Rimmerman: : It sounds as though you have had a comprehensive evaluation. In your age group, with your lipids the likelihood of obstructive CAD is very low. It would be highly unusual to perform a heart cath. You may consider an evaluation for exercise induced respiratory difficulties such as asthma, which can be manifested as chest discomfort – or consider a rheumatology evaluation. Please go to this page on our website - http://my.clevelandclinic.org/heart/askdoctor/anxietycp.aspx to learn about cardiac and non-cardiac causes for chest discomfort.
SKBURMAN: Can you please discus the first symptoms of heart attack? What are early alert signals?
Dr__Rimmerman: You can find this information on our website at http://my.clevelandclinic.org/heart/disorders/cad/mi_symptoms.aspx
UpstateNy: I am 81. I have had 2 CABG operations plus 22 angiograms; radical prostatectomy; stomach surgery for a hiatal hernia, etc. I am an insulin dependent diabetic. I exercise 3 times a week and walk 2 times. I have been going to the Clinic annually, but I am wondering "why". Obviously I have survived quite well , but at some point isn't it realistic to stop looking for more?
Dr__Rimmerman: I appreciate your perspective. I concur with your view point. You might consider a Preventive Cardiology specialist or following the Esselstyn diet - check out http://www.heartattackproof.com/
PhylAndes: I have been on a totally nonfat, vegan diet for 7 weeks. I began the diet in an effort to stop taking Lipitor for my very high cholesterol. I have lost 16 lbs. and I'm delighted but is it too soon to check my cholesterol again - it was done two months ago? Also, can ones cholesterol get too low?
Dr__Rimmerman: Great news, your lifestyle modification efforts will certainly be beneficial I would suggest rechecking your blood work 3 months after changing your diet and would include an usCRP. If your cholesterol panel is truly within normal limits as well as your usCRP, please re-discuss the Lipitor with your physician.
clara: I had open heart surgery 5 years ago - aortic valve and bypass 2 arteries. 2009, I had 1 stent / 2010 I had 3 stents / 2011 2 stents. I have been told that I have an aggressive disease that is not connected to cholesterol. The stents are all different arteries. The bypasses have filled up to around 60% but were left alone. The last 2 stents were the L main and the left anterior descending artery. I am somewhat concerned that if I keep blocking up it may lead to open heart surgery again. Isn't it unusual for a person to have that many stents in such a short time? I am thin, workout, do not have high blood pressure. It is hard to know exactly how to treat this disease.
Dr__Rimmerman: It sounds like you may have a genetic predisposition to cholesterol deposits and atherosclerosis. You can't modify your genetics and your other risk factors seem to be under excellent control. Make sure your cholesterol is in good control. If you have not done so already, please consult with an expert preventive cardiology nutritionist and consider a vegan diet or something similar.
thomasR: I read in the news a link between insomnia and heart disease - if I have insomnia - should I actually see someone to treat it? I have just lived with it. I am on Crestor for high cholesterol.
Dr__Rimmerman: My bigger concern would be the possibility of undiagnosed sleep apnea which is clearly under diagnosed and under reported. There is an established relationship between sleep apnea and heart disease including heart rhythm abnormalities and sudden cardiac death. Please discuss with your physician.
lmgaiso: Do you believe that there is a benefit to lowering LDL below 70? If so, do you believe, the lower, the better?
Dr__Rimmerman: We believe the lower the LDL the better provided your nutritional status is optimal and you are not chronically malnourished.
lmgaiso: The lower the LDL, the better. Got it. What if lowering LDL also lowers HDL? HDL of 40 is considered a cut off for men. Would you continue to lower LDL at the expense of going below 40 on the HDL?
Dr__Rimmerman: When you lower LDL< HDL does typically follow. We believe the most important parameter is LDL.
lmgaiso: It seems that your answer did not come across completely. You wrote "When you lower LDL" I was asking - What if lowering LDL also lowers HDL below 40. 40 is considered a cut off for men for HDL. Would you continue to lower LDL at the expense of going below 40 on the HDL?
Dr__Rimmerman: I understand that when you lower LDL, lowering of HDL will also occur. I worry less about a low HDL than I do about a high LDL.
piyush1175: I am 36 years male and I have aortic valve stenosis with echo it was 1.5 and with TEE dr said it is normal not to worry about it and put me on zocor 20mg. My recent physical was high in triglycerides 207 and LDL 132 total chol was 212. My stress echo was 6min dr said when I walk my rate goes high but BP stay same. My LFTS was high in July so dr stopped the zocor and since then I am not taking any medicine. What should I consider as medicine for my cholesterol and what kind of exercise I should do based on my stress test.
Dr__Rimmerman: It sounds like it is safe to perform regular aerobic exercise and I am concerned your heart rate response may reflect deconditioning. Please consult with a nutritionist regarding a low fat and low cholesterol diet; reduce your calories if indicated and consider an alternative to zocor starting very low dose perhaps once weekly and gradually increasing as your liver function tests permit.
Msin: What is left axis deviation? Is isolated left axis deviation with sinus tachycardia is serious?
Dr__Rimmerman: Left axis deviation is often related to cardiac position within the chest and not necessarily indicative of heart disease. It can also be seen in patients with thickened heart muscle such as LV hypertrophy, which does cause a leftward shift of the heart position.
Frank_B: Is Labile Hypertension a recognized subcategory of hypertension? Is it rare? When I say labile hypertension I mean blood pressure which spikes not only in a doctor's office but also in response to major and minor stimuli of everyday life and living. Is labile hypertension treated with antihypertensive medication? Can untreated labile hypertension cause Mild Diastolic LV Dysfunction and Concentric LV Remodeling with normal LV mass as seen in a regular echocardiogram? Can the stress of a person suffering from striking labile hypertension during the echocardiogram procedure result in mildly erroneous readings like indication of mild diastolic LV dysfunction or concentric LV remodeling when it is not present
Dr__Rimmerman: We all have fluctuating blood pressure. Although it sounds like yours is greater than average. Please discuss with your physician the placement of a 24 hour blood pressure monitor. This is an ambulatory monitor, which will provide an average blood pressure reading throughout the day and night. This will be much more important data than minute to minute readings.
Frank_B: Could the fasting blood glucose readings of those not suffering from diabetes but suffering from striking labile hypertension give higher readings than would be expected from their HbA1C readings?
Dr__Rimmerman: I am not familiar with a relationship between labile blood pressure and blood glucose readings.
Eric_C: What is the risk-benefit of hypertension drugs compared to the increased risk for heart attack and heart failure? In other words, what is the risk/benefit analysis of when to take meds vs. no meds to prevent heart failure/MI in someone with hypertension?
Dr__Rimmerman: If you have established hypertension, it is exceedingly important to take medications to normalize your blood pressure should lifestyle modification efforts not succeed. Normalizing your blood pressure with medication will actually reduce the incidence of heart attack and heart failure. Goal blood pressure should be 120/80 or less.
Francois: With regard to your recommendation for 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring to diagnose labile hypertension, my results were inconclusive with night time readings normal and day time readings indicating hypertension. As in my case the first reading is higher than the second or third even on the home monitor, would the ambulatory 24 hour monitoring not be of only limited use to me.
Dr__Rimmerman: I appreciate your follow up question. I would suggest you focus on your average blood pressure for 24 hours, the so called blood pressure load. Frequent blood pressure recordings are known to contribute to heightened anxiety and falsely elevated readings.
Constance: risks/side effects of angiogram done through the wrist?
Dr__Rimmerman: Bleeding, bruising and blood vessel damage not dissimilar to the traditional femoral artery/groin approach. Bleeding more controllable via the wrist given the superficial location of the radial artery.
DonD: In May of 2011, I had a cardiolite stress test with my cardiologist. The report from that test stated I had an ejection fraction of 62%. In November of this year, after having pneumonia, a Echocardiogram showed an ejection fraction of 40to 45%, and a Multi-gated Analysis showed a reading of 44%. Neither report indicated what could have happened between May and November. My question is -- Could the fluid build-up from the pneumonia influence the ejection fraction reading? Also, what further action would you recommend to determine the possible causes behind this change?
Dr__Rimmerman: You are comparing two technologies - one ultrasound and one nuclear based. Therefore it is difficult to ascertain with certainty if the pneumonia can be implicated as the cause of your reduced heart function. I would go with the echo result as that is the current gold standard for assessing heart function in multi directional views.
ruthanne: How serious is a severe left atrial enlargement?
Dr__Rimmerman: tough question as it depends on the cause. In the absence of significant valvular heart disease, no heart rhythm abnormalities and normal blood pressure, it is significance is minimized.
SKBURMAN: I am 49 yrs was diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. My echocardiogram shows the report with conclusion: "Mild LVH with normal chamber size and systolic function, EF > 55%". What does this mean and how serious is this. I am on Blood pressure medication: AMLODIPINE/BENAZ 5-10 MG LUPI
Dr__Rimmerman: That actually is a favorable echo result in your clinical situation with the most important clinical parameter being optimal blood pressure control, aiming for 120/80 or less.
SKBURMAN: What is the easiest way to check plaque in heart arteries? What is coronary calcium scan and at what age do you recommend this?
Dr__Rimmerman: A calcium scan can assess for asymptomatic coronary atherosclerosis - it is not a blanket recommendation as it often leads to unnecessary testing including heart catheterizations. Additionally, calcium scans can create shadows and over-estimate the degree of atherosclerosis. At Cleveland Clinic, we prefer exercise stress testing prior to proceeding with heart catheterization. Calcium scans are utilized at Cleveland Clinic but much less frequently.
Snakeskin77: Hi! I'm a 34 year old male, 155 lbs., 22% BMI. I'd really like to lose some fat weight and replace it with muscle; HOWEVER, I also have a bicuspid aortic valve, had coarctation repair surgery when I was 4 (the narrowing has since returned slightly, putting me on Corgard since '99), and due to the re-narrowing, I've had an aortic aneurysm (4.5 cm, stable now with little/no growth) that has popped up in the past few years. Is there ANY way to be able to lose the weight AND be able to weight lift enough to gain muscle without completely risking an aneurysm rupture/dissection, or am I out of luck until the eventual aneurysm repair surgery/valve replacement (which won't happen until my cardiologist determines it has grown enough to require the surgery)?
Dr__Rimmerman: We see many patients such as your self and it is important if you are lifting weights to focus on lower weight and higher repetitions. Your 4.5 cm aorta is not aneurysmal as an aneurysm is 5.0 cm or greater. I would not recommend lifting heavy weights with the idea of bulking up significantly given your aorta condition. Aerobic activities are highly recommended without restriction.
WilliamD: Do you have any reports about the Bp medication called losartan causing problems with the urinary system ? I have been taking losartan 50 mg and it seems I am not relieving myself as often as I was. Also I had a bladder infection and now I have a really bad prostate infection. I am now on Cipro . I feel that losartan has caused this problem . My family Doctor disagrees with me . What do you think ? Thank you , William D
Dr__Rimmerman: Thank you for your question outlining your concerns. I am not aware of losartan being a cause of reduced urinary output or aggravating prostate function/the urinary tract.
Linda_J: Does the 1,200mg calcium supplement I take each day to avoid bone loss have any connection to the 75% calcium build-up in my coronary arteries? Can the calcium in my plaque be reduced if I stop the supplement? I'm allergic to dairy and eat little meat.
Dr__Rimmerman: I am not aware of a prescribed calcium supplement relationship with obstructive coronary artery disease and coronary artery calcification
Tahir_H: I recently had a stent implant in my left coronary. I have no history of heart attack or strokes. I am taking Plavix 75 mg and aspirin 325 mg. Should I be taking such a high dosage of aspirin? Or just take 81 mg. Also I saw a Cleveland clinic study indicating that Plavix did not have any more benefit than taking Aspirin alone. Is this correct?
Dr__Rimmerman: Please consult with your prescribing physician. I am not sure if your stent is bare metal or coated. In either case Plavix is indicated. The aspirin dose is controversial and often we prescribe 325 mg daily for 30 days after stent placement reducing to 82 mg daily thereafter. I am not aware of this study as we are regularly prescribing Plavix in a patient such as yourself.
HH_Fla: I had a heart attack in 2002 and had a defibrillator inserted. Under Dr. Rimmerman's orders I was tested at the Cleveland Clinic about 8 years ago for aspirin resistance, told that I had aspirin resistance, and as a consequence was told to take 2 baby aspirins per day, instead of one. Is this still valid, what Is the current thought about aspirin resistance?
Dr__Rimmerman: Difficult question with many possible answers. It is still relevant to be tested for aspirin resistance at the higher dose. You may want to discuss this with your current cardiologist. This is still an evolving topic with a variety of opinions.
Interested123: In flying from the east coast to the west coast, necessitating 3 flight changes, I made sure to walk the isles in the plane every 20 minutes because I was on warfarin after one episode of afib. The second day I was on my feet all day shopping. The third day my legs were both completely black and blue. A cardiologist who saw me in Cal said, in layman's terms, that I was a bleeder and that with only one afib episode he would suggest substituting warfarin with a full aspirin each day. Would you comment on this? (I have had 3 afib incidents in 3 years.)
Dr__Rimmerman: Interested123: The indication for warfarin in your situation based on the information you have provided is unclear. I recommend referring to the CHADS2 score which can be found on the internet and see what your score adds up to. If 0 or 1; aspirin daily is likely ok . If 2 or greater consider warfarin.
tirreno: I've had a stent put in two years ago - is it OK to go off Plavix? My cardiologist said OK but I'm concerned of the consequences. I'm also on 325mg of aspirin daily. I have cut back on my metoprolol to 25mg a day because my HB per minute was at 52 - it is now averaging 64 and I feel much better. Sometimes I feel that I can manage my medication regime better than physicians because I watch it everyday.
Dr__Rimmerman: Regarding your stent and plavix, this is an individualized decision best made between you and your cardiologist. At Cleveland Clinic, if you are having no side effects from the plavix, it is frequently continued.
SKBURMAN: My primary physician recommended taking a baby aspirin (80mg) daily? Do you agree?
Dr__Rimmerman: It depends on your age and your associated risk factors. There is actually a Framingham heart attack risk score which you can find on the internet, which can help you in this regard. If you are young with minimal risk factors, most times the risk of bleeding outweighs the cardiac benefit.
Cynthia: Could you please tell me how a person can be diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy thru a heart catheterization and 2 echoes only to be told 10 months later that its restrictive cardiomyopathy due to amyloidosis....it was diagnosed by a second Doctor thru an echo how can a person be diagnosed as restrictive cardiomyopathy only to find out 10 months later its amyloidosis
Dr__Rimmerman: Amyloidosis affecting the heart can be a difficult diagnosis to immediately ascertain, best arrived at through a myocardial biopsy. Since a patient such as the one you describe had weakened heart muscle initially possible causes are many and amyloidosis remains one of many.
Lisa_L: What are the statistics on life expectancy for heart surgery on female at age 41? Surgery included: mechanical valve, artificial ascending aorta, coronary reconstruction into artificial ascending aorta, and Coumadin level remains constant at 3.0?
Dr__Rimmerman: Provided your surgery is successful, your life expectancy should be quite favorable. Please recognize it is always difficult to predict for one particular patient but we routinely see patients such as yourself living three to four decades after the surgery.
howdy: I HAD MITRAL REPAIR SURERY BY DR MARC GILLINOV ON JULY 27-MY QUESTION IS HOW LONG DOES IT NORMALLY TAKE FOR THE HEART TO HAVE NORMAL PULE RATE . I PRESENTLY AVERAGE 91 BP--I UNDERATNE THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE HEART TO INCREASE PUMPING DUE TO THE REMOVAL OF THE REGURITATION-SECONDINGLY I HAD PACE MAKER WIRES CONNECTED TO MY HEART AFTER THE OPERATION- THEY CUT THEM OFF BEFORE BEING DISCHARGED--BUT PARTS OF THE WIRES STILL REMAIN--WILL THEY HAVE TO REMOVED IN THE FUTURE?
Dr__Rimmerman: I do believe you have established a new baseline for your heart rate since it has been greater than 3 months since your surgery. Regarding pacemaker wires, these are of no concern and do not need to be removed.
Cleveland_Clinic_Host: Thank you again for taking the time to answer our questions about heart disease. As we end the chat, Dr. Rimmerman, you recently wrote a book "You and Your Cardiologist", what are the best recommendations for a patient when seeing their cardiologist.
Dr__Rimmerman: My best recommendation is to do the most advanced preparation as available by obtaining and collating your medical records - and any testing; particularly testing which would be available by CD rom to bring with you to your appointment.

Theresa Stewart, animal caregiver, seamstress
Beloved mother and grandmother, Theresa "Teri" Stewart (Meissner), 61, of Denver, died unexpectedly on New Year's Day, Sunday, Jan. 1, 2012.
Born in Terre Hill, later living in New Holland and most recently Denver, Teri was the daughter of Donald and Helen Huyett, of New Holland.
Caring and nurturing, she could not fathom the mistreatment of any living soul. Teri was a champion for abandoned cats and a foster parent for abandoned Golden Retrievers. Much to the chagrin of her family, Teri always put the needs of her animals before her own. Thankfully, Teri was able to pass on her love of nature and animals to her grandchildren, Jack and Grace McCarty. She fostered in them an understanding of the importance of tending to those unable to care for themselves. Being able to spend time with her grandchildren was her greatest gift. A phone call from the grandchildren exclaiming that they just spotted a new bird at the backyard feeder was especially dear to Teri. "Grammy" will be deeply and profoundly missed by Jack and Grace.
Teri was incredibly creative in many ways. With the example of her beloved Grandma Showalter, Teri became a creative seamstress who could turn a piece of fabric into anything from clothes to flower sculptures. Teri's creativity was especially evident in her decorating ability; Goodwill was a treasure trove to Teri as she could make something extraordinary out of the ordinary. A talented photographer, her walls were filled with photos of pets, family and flowers. Teri also enjoyed cooking for her family – they always knew to take an extra-large container to her house to take home the inevitable chicken potpie that was a family favorite.
Teri considered her greatest accomplishment in life to be "raising two beautiful, amazing daughters who had wonderful husbands to spend their lives with"; she knew she didn't have to worry about her girls as they were made of "strong stuff," a trait, by the way, they inherited from their mother. Stubborn and of strong opinions, Teri made her way through life mostly living it the way she wanted to. Teri felt truly blessed with the life she had been given.
She will be remembered for her generous, nurturing heart; her boundless love for her animals, friends and family; her amazing strength; her fierce will for independence; and her creativity. Those who knew Teri know that she enjoyed the simple things in life: the color yellow, noodles, being warm and toasty, doing laundry, music, watching the birds at the feeder, passionately discussing the events of the day with her Aunt Adele, visits to Longwood Gardens with her sister, joking with her brother, lunches with her dad, watching the soaps with mom and of course, most precious, spending time with her girls and grandchildren.
Teri is survived by her children: Toni, wife of Tim McCarty, and Tami, wife of Stephen Thompson, both of New Holland; her beloved grandchildren: Jack and Grace McCarty; and two siblings: Ted Huyett, of Wisconsin; and Staci Huyett, of Phoenixville.
She is preceded in death by her brother: George L. Meissner.
Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, memorials or donations may be made to The Humane League of Lancaster, 2195 Lincoln Highway East, Lancaster, PA 17602 or visit humaneleague.com.
Arrangements were made by Beck Funeral Home, New Holland.

The problemMature
"Where are you taking me?"
"To see our boss." he warned
"we have been exposed, by someone we think it was you."He laughed manical to the mayors fera that he was feeling, he knew what happened to otherpeople she had had a dispute with. They did not return to well after talking to her.
"She wants answers?" Deb wants her answers from the people most knowledgible of her, and you I suppose are one of them?"
"So," The mayor asked, not really understanding as to what was to happen to him, he knwe soem of her mechanications as did others as well. He was afraid of what she was seeking from him, and waht devices she would use to get them.
They dorve towards a warehouse on that station of teh city, as they approached teh loading bay. The door to it opened. All that the mayor could see was nothing, aside from what the headlights were able to expose to his eyes. There were a huge number of drums and barrels someon their sides. Also a huge number of crates, Soem of these were open, contants exposded, seeing small animals and not so small animals scurry from place to place trying to flee the light from the headlights as they lit the chamber, He saw a limoscene parked there, the cars headlights played across the car.
The limoscene was silver in color, the raer door opened, he saw a stillettoed foot emerge along with a shin and shapely calf and then was a black sequenced thigh length skirt, over it was a black sequenced jacket, and a silk red blouse. She stepped out of teh car.
She was here. He felt ellated and also afraid, he never saw her this close. He did not know what she looked like only from the pictures the press was able to take of her. She slapped a riding srop into her hand.
"Benjermine, I want answers?"
"I do not know, what you are talking about!"
"Why did my people receive you from your building!" she asked, as she slapped the stick into her red evening gloved palm. He heard it smack.
"I was going out for a breathe of fresh air."
"Yes really, I wandered into their hands."
"Why are the police on your door step!"
"I do not know?"
Bruno do yu think, we can make him talk?"
"Yes mistress!"

Hi there
7 weeks ago, my "niggle" began which was what I thought was a hamstring pull... I did manage to run a sub-39 minute 10k on it, but wasn't good for much afterwards. Anyway this tightness developed into pain all over my left leg, during running and the rest of the time, as well as lower back pain.
I saw an osteopath, who did some "clicking" of my back, which massively worsened things.
Anyway, I have since had an MRI which showed a slipped disc at the L5/S1 level, which is causing nerve impingement, causing my pain. A physio has advised to rest, and take anti-inflammatories, which I am doing.
I was supposed to be doing the London Marathon, but I think that is out of the window, as I haven't run without pain for about 7 weeks now.
I just wondered if anyone has done anything similar, and what they have done to recover from it / anything that has made it worse.
Thank you Yaz
Ouch! I had a part slipped disk last year which impacted on limiting my left leg movement. It caused pain on a nerve running down through my leg and spasams. I went to physio and he gave me a program to free it up which worked really well. My leg movement came back.
Just started a similar thread regarding my wife.... :0/ .... hopefully you'll make a full recovery !
I had a slipped disc and was running again in three weeks with Yoga exercises which were new to me, Google Upward dog and Child pose, do both for 1 minute each alternating for half an hour as you watch TV not strenuously just relaxed. Hope you make your run.
Thank you both for the replies! Things are improving with the spin bike and very gentle core.. I shall try out the yoga exercises. Fingers crossed
YAZ, how are you getting on, I have just had a Micro Discectomy on mine, so no running...
Hi Yazzle,
For part of your disc to have moved out of position, there must have been some imbalances in your structure causing extra strain at the L5/S1 level. Discs are incredibly resilient, and unless you suffered a severe trauma - like a car accident - then there must have been months and years of stress through that area to cause it to bulge/prolapse.
It could have been the position of your pelvis, an excessive curve in your lower back or even a flattening of the curve in your lower back. Once you address those imbalances then it is possible for the pain to disappear.
Remember you don't want to just focus on getting rid of the pain there. You need to target the imbalances which caused the problem in the first place, otherwise they might cause future injuries down the road.
I had severe low back pain for years but by rebalancing my muscles I was able to overcome it and have been pain free for 13 years.
Try these 4 exercises for low back pain and see how you get on.
Take care

... is I have never been so shocked in my life. There is the list of what appeared from the lady garden.....ribbon, flowers, razor blades, needles, fish (dropped into a fish bowl), darting balloons, blowing whistles, blowing out candles, ping pong balls and a very scared looking budgie. It was by far the weirdest and grimest thing I have ever seen. But i guess when in Thailand.....
