Gutter Guards?
Has anyone had any success with any of the DIY gutter guards? If so, which one do you recommend?
First, I will tell you that ALL gutter protection systems have some inherent faults. None is the 100 % cure all for every leaf or pine needle or flowering bud scenario.
My personal favorite for multiple conditions are the cheap plastic 3 foot sections with small diamond shape punch out patterns with a laminated filter, similar to a window screen as sold by Home Depot or Menards and probably Lowes too.
The expensive systems all allow small mulch like compound to travel into the gutter trough and decompose into a caked on mud like substance.
The absolute best defence against clogging is to have a substantial pitch to your gutters, to have a sufficient number of down spout locations and to use the oversized 3" x 4" downspouts instead of the 2" x 3" downspouts to prevent clogging at the drain opening.
P.S. A good site for gutter guard comparisons is located at
with many articles written by Tim Carter and he has about 5-7 articles comparing various gutter guard products, and draws the same conclusion as I do.

"I was inspired by the close up baby face in the example. The card truly reflected the meaning of our first baby's baptism ❤"
"This is my second time using tinyprints and I love their products. The set-up was easy, the design options are just beautiful and it is very hassle free. I did not think the photo came out very crisp but I also used a photo off my iphone and not something from a professional so that could have been part of the issue. Still I would recommend this company to friends or family."
"Loved the way the invitation came out. Received many compliments on them. Printed return and addressee option made my life SO much easier!"
"I love it!! It's so easy to design a card. I did couple projects, chose couple pics, used different format of picture. Overall, I did like 5 projects. It was extremely easy. And final product is awesome, exactly what I exoected. Paper has a great quality, it's thick, colors are as u designed online. It was shipped and delivered very fast. I love it! I also ordered books with pages, and other stuff. I can't imagine doing any party without invites from the web. So easy to design and price is great for the quality. I know that my next order will be also from them. Thanks!"
"I used this card for our daughter baptism and loved the outcome of how the card looked in person. The quality of the paper and the printing was amazing and didn't look generic. Surprised my husband of how they looked and plus didn't tell him because he doesn't believe an invite should cost more than 25¢, but he was so happy with the outcome and thought they were worth every penny!"

It's no secret I love to cook which means I love food! I really love to entertain and cook for friends and family and love to try new and exciting things. Recently a friend of mine used my home for an event and as a "Thank You" gave me a gift card to this new business here in DFW that I was unaware of. They are originally from Austin and just expanded here to the Metroplex. After checking out the website, I flipped with excitement! This concept is so cool and it supports local farmers!
Imagine getting fresh, organic food delivered to your doorstep every week knowing the food is fresh and from local farmers in our area. Great food AND supporting local farms? Brilliant! I am hooked on Greenling and absolutely love the whole idea. You have the option of shopping like you normally would for groceries or you can also do what I have chosen to do and that is get the weekly "Local Box". The Local Box is delivered weekly to your doorstep with a variety of fresh fruits and veggies. For example here was this weeks list of ingredients in the Local Box:
- Lettuce – Walnut Creek Farm/ Wolf Creek Farm
- Red Potatoes – Walnut Creek Farm
- Spinach Bunch – Texas Daily Harvest
- Avocado – G&S Groves
- Orange – G&S Groves
- Onion Bunch – Lightsey Farm
- Radishes – Just Peachy Farm
- Beets/Broccoli – Lightsey Farm/Walnut Creek Farm
- Crimini Mushrooms- Kitchen Pride
- Turnips – Lightsey Farm
All this for $34.99. Oh and if some of the items you normally don't buy or wouldn't know what to do with, no worries because every box also comes with suggested recipes for all the ingredients. It really is a GREAT concept. I am so excited as this will not only be convenient and save a trip to the store each week, but it will also allow me to try new foods I might not otherwise choose to buy and I get to experiment in the kitchen. Anyway, I LOVE IT! Can't wait for next Tuesday and my big green tub to arrive.
Check it out for yourself by clicking HERE and I have also provided a link for you to save 10% to try it out! Let me know what you think and enjoy!

Learning the Hard Way
by (Brian Sato)
I come from a family where my father keeps a tight handle on the family finances and is the treasurer of his investment club. While growing up, I was always afraid to ask him for any more money than he would give for my allowance. I was afraid not just of him saying "no," but also of being raked over the coals with questions about why I needed the money or why I hadn't saved my allowance and planned ahead to buy or do what I wanted.
About ten years later, my parents thought it would be good idea to let me have my own credit card when I started college -- you know, one of those $250 or $500 limit cards. They thought it would be a good way for my to start my credit history and take on more financial responsibility. What a great feeling I had! I could go buy whatever I wanted -- well, almost whatever I wanted.
That kind of thinking got me into trouble. You can probably guess what happened in my years as a collegian. The credit card balance increased even though I usually made more than just the minimum payment. The bank loved me so much it raised my credit limit up to $1200! Needless to say, at one point it was actually the interest that was pushing past the credit limit. For a while I didn't know what to do, but I knew that I could never ask my father to bail me out. I would really get raked if he saw how financially irresponsible I was.
One day, I unknowingly left one of my credit card statements on my bed in plain sight for my father to see. But he did not say a single word about it. I am sure he wanted to. My mother told me this several years after the fact. I was completely surprised. My father also didn't bail me out, which is probably the best thing he could have done. Had he paid my bills, I might still be irresponsible and unFoolish, racking up high credit balances and paying just a little more than the minimum payment each month.
Now another ten years has passed. The moral of this whole situation is that sometimes people just have to learn things the hard way. I think this is especially hard for parents with their children. I am sure my father wanted to help set me straight in my financial thinking. But since he let me figure out what to do and struggle through this ordeal myself, I have a better understanding of the good and evil of those little plastic things we carry with us called credit cards. This only came about by my father's inaction. I am forever grateful for the lesson he taught me by not saying or doing anything when it would have been easier for him to do so.

Pete Sampras' Trophies Found In Boxes At Hospital
Photo: Getty Images
Last December Pete Sampras had his storage space in West Los Angeles ransacked, and unfortunately many of his 64 cherished tennis trophies, including his first Australian Open trophy went missing. But today is Pete's lucky day, because law-enforcement has found them, but in a very odd place.
Via TMZ:
Pete is all smiles now -- we're told a private investigator working the case for Sampras got a tip the boxes would be dropped off behind a Los Angeles hospital on Saturday.
According to law enforcement, the PI tipped off security at the hospital, who eventually spotted the boxes and called LAPD. We're told cops have no idea how they got there, but they are investigating.
There is no word yet whether all the trophies were returned.

Japanese couples say "I do" -- in divorce ceremonies
By Laurel Moorhead
TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - With divorce on the rise in Japan, some couples are choosing to celebrate the end of an unhappy marriage by saying "I do" for a final time at a divorce ceremony before friends and family.
Divorce ceremonies were pioneered about a year ago by a former salesman, Hiroki Terai, who set up a "divorce mansion" in a small undercover space in Tokyo.
Since then about 25 couples have each paid 55,000 yen ($606) to hold a ceremony with all the pomp and grandeur of a wedding that publicly ends their relationship before they officially file for divorce. Terai said he had received more than 900 inquiries.
The latest couple, who called themselves Mr. and Mrs. Fujii, met near Sensoji Temple in Tokyo's traditional Asakusa area on Sunday and rode in separate rickshaws to the "divorce mansion."
"By putting an end to our marriage, we wanted to give ourselves fresh starts and give our lives a sense of renewal," Mr. Fujii, a 33-year-old businessman, told Reuters Television.
He said he felt responsible for the failure of his marriage as he spent too much time away from home and too much money on his various interests including cars - despite numerous warnings from his wife.
Friends and family of the Fujii couple followed closely behind the rickshaws on foot, arriving at the "divorce mansion" for a ceremony where they smashed their wedding ring with a gavel, a gesture signifying the end of their partnership.
The gavel has a frog's head as frogs symbolize change in Japanese culture. Continued...

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jun 24, 2013.
Might be too far I went, tragedy stories always release us from sadness.
The article was good because it was detailed. He didn't just say Knight sucked. He gave specific examples as to what Knight does on the court. Compared to just about every other article circulating right now, its got the most meat for fans to digest and talk about. Was it right? Was it the most complete picture of the team? No. But the points were fleshed out and flowed nicely. If anyone can write a counter arguement with the same amount of detail, that would be rockin'! Knight came in rawer than most people expected. His ball handling was horrid. He worked a ton on that and its ok-ish. Without that, he's a liability. With that major issue shored up he can focus on other things. I hope that in addition to adding craftiness to his game, they spend extra time working on pick and roll. Early in the season, you could see that he was thinking too hard about being / learning the PG. Learning is not just repetition but being able to absorb then process that library of experiences. You take your lumps then grow from it. I have a lot of confidence in his ability to develop. He's on his path, we can't dictate it for him. I think the organization has surrounded him with the best environment they can.
I'm not willing to go "Full Darko" on this kid, and make excuses for him for the next 7 to 10 years, but I do think that it's a little early to say where he will end up being on the talent scale. I think he has the potential to be a very solid point that plays great defense. I don't think he will ever pass like Rondo or shoot like Curry, but neither can Chauncey, and he did pretty well for the team.
Knight has been legally able to drink for less than 1 year. He's just still in his development phase. Not sure that now is the time to swap him out for someone at their peak as it may be jumping the gun. He's cheap, serviceable, and has upside.
Man, you never go full Darko. Escpecially not in keeper league.
Pistons seeking significant improvement | NBA.com
Pistons finally adding significant help
Pistons unveil new alternate jerseys. Detroit Pistons' Greg Monroe introduces new alternate 'Motor City' jerseys (Video) | Ball Don't Lie - Yahoo! Sports Me likes.
Needs a horse's head and some exhaust pipes......
Not a fan, but not a hater. Prefer the normal strip. Would have preferred a throwback type jersey.
I always wanted to see a black alternate jersey for the Pistons. ...same design as the home-white gear, except black (with black shoes & socks). I'm diggin' the "Motor City" name though!
I found the new jerseys to be pretty sweet. I'm not sold on the colors(yet), but the rest is fine. If I could change one thing, I would make the font bigger and have "Motor" on top, the number in the middle and "City" at the bottom.
Reminded me of this one unfortunately.

In other words, that's some accurate reporting.

I guess this kind of thing could happen to anyone, but it did happen to Charlie. Can't say I'm too surprised. Or maybe he could have spent it on more custom floor mats for his Bentley. I have a feeling that Charlie will be one of those former NBA players declaring bankruptcy in 10 years.

time for the authorities to arrest the nut who has been defacing public property (the bridges) with those nutty signs of his

Don't forget my dirty picture of bridge rust cancer.
Believe me, all the town big dogs have been around to get a take of my mental status
They have reserved a room at the retreat whenever I need it

I got to the bridge later than I thought maybe 3pm. Man, did my whole get-up get some attention.
One family from Sweden talked to me for about 45 minutes. He was on a GPS treasure hunt throughout the USA .sounded like a blast. Took a nice picture of us together.
I got three or four other people talking pictures of videos. It was unbelievable the attention I got with my getup
I believe two of the picture or videos people were gaining evidence for the police or selectman they seemed terse to me. I got to learn to become comfortable with displeasing or irked people trying to document my activities
#11 Jul 15, 2013
I am certainly going to be wearing my halo for the rest of the summer.
I might ditch the blue bed sheet after a few more days
#12 Jul 15, 2013
It is amazing our 2013 connectivity with cell phone...not like the 1960s.
#13 Jul 16, 2013
My wife says she cant control herself when I go to bed with my halo on although my feet hang uncomfortably a foot off the bed?
#14 Jul 16, 2013
You should see all the angry people in their cars shaking their heads and talking to themselves.
The poor police and selectman...
#15 Jul 16, 2013
Well, this was unexpected they got to my wife.
She is sick and tired talking about me and my bridge to her friends. And the grammar school only educated level idiots of Hinsdale are harping to her.
#16 Jul 16, 2013
I mean, it gets boring sitting on a island all by myself except the cars whizzing past me at 60mph.
So I though Id walk around the bridge walkway like I am a bridge angel warning the community of big trouble I stood in the middle with my waving by the wind silhouette sheet. Had lot of fun with that and it made a lot of people smile they got it.
Did I tell you its boring. Got a nice tan and little sunburn.
So I went to the Brattleboro side. That is where I got into trouble. I said its summer time I begin thinking about our summer local fairs and the Eastern States Exposition. You know, the parking attendants in the field waving and directing you to a parking space.
So I think I am the bridge angel I know, I am gods summer fair parking attendant direction giver. I am gods parking attendant I am directing people to the pearly gates parking lot. So I get out my sign paper write HEAVEN in big letters, got a huge arrow below pointing straight ahead ,indicating this way to the heaven.
You got the picture, I am at the Brattleboro side of the bridge. I got a sign with huge letters saying Heaven my arrow is pointing at the entrance of the route 119 Hinsdale bridge and onto Hinsdale.
So I am in my angel blue uniform ur sheet, got a huge white halo above my head. I am gods parking lot attendant and I am directing you to heaven if you go over our rickety bridge. I am standing right across the restaurant in my angel get-up got one waving arm directing you towards me and the other arm pointing where I want you to go. Just like the county fair.
Pandemonium then broke out in Hinsdale!
I had tons of people taking pictures and vedios of me...
#17 Jul 16, 2013
Then my blue bridge angel image was plastered all over my daughters face book!
#18 Jul 16, 2013
So I took a ride around my town in my bicycle. I came up to a dilapidated house. It was twilight and I had my back lights on. A angry old guy with no front teeth screams out, "you worthless piece of f king shit he says it so loud it startles me."
I give him 10 extra points for picking me out in the twilight. You just dont answer this kind of guy.
A good old young sleeveless boy stops near the bridge this morning, he had muscles he has that irked tone like he wants to beat me up. Again, you just be nice to those guys and say sorry, and walk away.
So getting back to old man no front teeth and third grade education he has to be frustrated and poor. What angle in being mad at me does he got in the game?
I just don't get it?
I had people all day taking my pictures and videoing...walking up to me and asking if they can take my picture.
#20 Jul 16, 2013
Lucifer/Satan is an angel too ewe know
#21 Jul 17, 2013
Just keep talking about me you gutless anonymous!

I am flabbergasted it seems many people interpret my sheet as me wearing a dress. I am ditching the sheet!

Uncritically echoing Specter, Harwood suggested Schumer has a conflict of interest on attorney issue
Research ››› ››› RYAN CHIACHIERE
On the March 18 edition of NBC's Nightly News, while discussing the congressional investigation into the Bush administration's controversial dismissals of eight U.S. attorneys, CNBC chief Washington correspondent John Harwood asserted that "[o]ne danger for Democrats is whether they look too political in exploiting this." Harwood then cited the fact that Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) -- who has raised questions about whether the firings were politically motivated -- serves both as the Administrative Oversight and the Courts Subcommittee chairman on the Senate Judiciary Committee and as chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC). But in raising the issue of Schumer's possible conflict, which Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) brought up during an earlier appearance on Fox News Sunday, Harwood left out of his report Schumer's direct response to the charges that morning on NBC's Meet the Press; Schumer said that he is probing only the administration's conduct and that he intends to leave any issues involving lawmakers to the congressional ethics committees.
On the March 18 edition of Fox News Sunday, Specter told host Chris Wallace, "I think that the inquiry by the Judiciary Committee ought to have at least a modicum of objectivity," and characterized the fact that Schumer is on the Judiciary Committee and also "is doing a job to defeat Senator [Pete] Domenici [R-NM]" as a "conflict of interest."
While interviewing Schumer on the March 18 edition of Meet the Press, host Tim Russert addressed such charges: "There are some supporters of the president who are saying ... 'Chuck Schumer's a member of the Judiciary Committee, but he's also chairman of the campaign committee to elect Democratic senators, and this is all about politics.' " Schumer responded by asserting that his committee "is simply looking into the misdeeds in the executive branch, in the Justice Department, in the administration." He further noted that "[a]nything that has to do with any elected official, any congressman, any senator, will be handled by the ethics committee." Schumer concluded by saying, "[T]here's no conflict whatsoever."
From the March 18 edition of NBC's Nightly News:
JOHN SEIGENTHALER (anchor): With the Democrats now in charge, is this just a sample of what the Bush administration can expect from Congress?
HARWOOD: Without question, and that may be the most dramatic consequence of the 2006 elections. Investigating the Bush administration is a lot easier than passing new laws, as Democrats are discovering in their struggle over exactly what to do about Iraq. One danger for Democrats is whether they look too political in exploiting this. Senator Schumer sits on the Judiciary Committee; he also chairs his party's Senate campaign machinery for 2008.
From the March 18 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday:
WALLACE: Senator, do you think that the administration used its emergency powers under the Patriot Act to get around sending at least some of the replacements for these U.S. attorneys to the Senate for confirmation? And if so, was that appropriate?
SPECTER: I don't think -- I don't think they did. The provision in the Patriot Act which expanded the attorney general's power was not noticed by anybody, and it was in the conference report for some three months. It was only when it was put into effect and we saw its harmful application that we saw it was a bad change in law, and Senator [Dianne] Feinstein [D-CA] took the lead, and I have co-sponsored her legislation to change that back.
WALLACE: This week, you said that New York Democratic Senator Schumer -- that his role leading the investigation into the U.S. attorneys at the same time that he's running the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee is a conflict of interest. Has he crossed a line here?
SPECTER: I think he has. And I confronted Senator Schumer on it eyeball-to-eyeball on Thursday in the Judiciary Committee meeting. But let's look at what the facts are. Senator Schumer is leading the inquiry, and the day after we have testimony about Senator Domenici, he puts his name up on the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee criticizing or, really, making the argument that he ought not to be re-elected.
Now, I think that the inquiry by the Judiciary Committee ought to have at least a modicum of objectivity, and if Mr. Schumer is doing a job to defeat Senator Domenici, which he is now -- that's his job as chairman of the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee -- that he puts it up on their website the very next day, and then he has made very conclusory and judgmental statements all along.
And I challenged him on that a week ago in the Judiciary Committee, and he calls it a purge, and he's taken a very political stance. Now, he's got a right to do that. He's a politician and I'm a politician. But I don't think he can do both things at the same time without having a conflict of interest, but that's up for him to decide.
WALLACE: Senator, we only have about 30 seconds left. Are you calling on Senator Schumer to step down -- if he's going to continue this political effort, are you calling on him to step down in terms of leading the investigation?
SPECTER: Nope, I'm calling on him to use his own judgment on that. If I call him to step down, somebody's going to say Arlen Specter is trying to stifle this investigation, and I'm not. I've been totally cooperative, as all of my Republican colleagues have been, with this investigation. But when he has a conflict of interest, I'm not going to be afraid to say so.
From the March 18 edition of NBC's Meet the Press:
RUSSERT: There are some supporters of the president who are saying, "Sure, Chuck Schumer's a member of the Judiciary Committee, but he's also chairman of the campaign committee to elect Democratic senators, and this is all about politics."
SCHUMER: Yeah, this is much too serious to be about politics, and the bottom line is our committee is simply looking into the misdeeds in the executive branch, in the Justice Department, in the administration. Anything that has to do with any elected official, any congressman, any senator, will be handled by the ethics committee. So there's no conflict whatsoever.

Wynonna has posted a note on her Web site clarifiying the comment she made to USA TODAY's Brian Mansfield at the CMAs about Taylor Swift's success coming "too soon." She writes:
"I understand that my comment about Taylor Swift's Entertainer of the Year nomination came across as a negative statement. My intent was not to take anything away from her talent and contributions to the country music industry...all of which are truly unprecedented for an artist of ANY age. Taylor is a beautiful, hard working young woman that deserves the success she has had and I support her as an artist and as a woman in the business."

I'm having trouble getting through starting strength workouts and always feel extreme tired by my last set of the day. I'm training fasted w/ caffeine, but I only have time early in the morning, so the fasted part is probably going to stay. My strength on the last lift also suffers a lot.
No announcement yet.
Starting Strength stamina
new posts
Sounds like it might be glycogen depletion, that or you're not resting enough between sets. How much carbs do you eat, and what's your rest time between sets? What weights are you using?
Starting Strength is not just about the weights. Are you eating enough? You should be aiming for 1g protein/lb of bodyweight, minimum. And if you're skinny, you should be drinking a ton of milk, like Rip suggests. (If you're over 20% bodyfat, nail the protein and you should be ok).
And for your post workout meal, eat some starches (sweet potato, white potato, or rice). Your body needs it.
The problem is not recovery between workouts, but recovery between sets. I eat plenty of rice and get ~160 grams of protein a day. I also try to rest about 3 minutes between sets, but I get bored if it gets longer than that.
I'm currently squatting 245, deadlifting 235(low because it's at the end of the workout, at the beginning it's a lot easier), benching 145, press 95, clean 145lbs, pullup 25lbs. I've only started recently but I was doing something similar earlier with the same problem.
I'll try to get starches in post-workout. Thanks for the reply's so far.
p.s. I'm around 12% bodyfat.
Have a banana before your workout. It's possible your energy level is depleted, especially if you are doing what Rip said and you're squatting every workout first thing. Your numbers on the lifts after the squat are lower than I would expect for someone squatting 245 on a SS protocol. By way of comparison, I'm squatting 245, deadlifting about 260, bench pressing 170 and pressing 115 so I wonder if the lifts you are doing later in the workout are suffering due to energy depletion in the beginning of the workout. A banana pre-workout might help.
Yes, the other lifts are definitely suffering due to lack of energy. I recall sitting down dreading my last set of the day for deadlifts just panting for 5 minutes. I tried doing the deadlift first recently and I made a PR no problem. However, my squats suffered. I'll try having a snack.
It sounds to me like you need to start doing carb refeeds like a lot of us are doing around here. (Chocotaco has written a lot about the subject)
you also could have bumped the weight up too fast for your strength level. Smaller progressions will keep you increasing the weight longer, and subsequently allow you to go heavier before you need to reset.
Further, if you're dead tired for the last set you're not resting enough. 3min is the minimum you should rest for a heavy barbell dayI didn't like the rules you gave me, so I made some of my own.
Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general. - Mark Rippetoe

The Flag Code, Marvel/DC, nor political beliefs is not what one should be concerned about with this shirt.
That's what sold me on this! Love that Iwo Jima photo. And speaking of that photo, it was a bunch of Marines and a Navy Corpsman. Marines/Navy...Marvel/DC...perfect!
Great idea, but the art is just terrible. I would've bought this if it didn't look so crappy.
This is a very sad and disrespectful woot shirt. It is commercializing the raising of the U.S. flag over Mount Suribachi in the Battle of Iwo Jima by U.S. Marine Corps. Almost 7,000 U.S. troops were killed and over 20,000 Japanese troops killed within 7 days.
Bad Woot. Some would say I am being over sensitive, but I think we have all lost perspective on the sacrifices our country and fighting men have and will make.
Just my 2 cents
Taranach wrote:Seriously?
What about the thousands of colonists who died trying to wrest control from the monarchs who dominated and used them? What about the creators of the flag who used it to rally a fledgling country to that initial freedom?
Get off your high horse here... respect for the flag and the soldiers who sacrificed themselves for what it represents is fine... holding it to be inviolate and a sacrilege is foolish... Humor is a tradition leading back to our founding fathers.
Taranach, I am not on a high horse. If I was I would have made a big stink instead of simply stating my opinion. I never said it is sacrilegious nor inviolate. I am simply an Air Force Veteran stating how I feel and my point of view. I am not trying to force my opinion on anyone nor am I attempting or asking that the shirt be removed. I respect and understand what the artist has created and am glad we have the freedom of speech. This does not mean I have to like everything everyone creates. I appreciate humor as much as anyone and like the shirts on this site hence my constant daily viewing of the shirts. I believe that showing honor and respect for the men who raised the flag over Iwo Jima also honors the founders of our country as without them these men would not have been able to raise the flag as our country would not exist the way it does. It is freedom of speech that allows me to state all of this without worrying about people trying to silence me which is what I feel you are wanting to do. I may be wrong in that opinion and I would hope that I am and even if I am not I am thankful for all the freedoms we enjoy as Americans and respect your right to feel the way you do. Have a great weekend.
lclark07 wrote:Instead of thinking of it as disrespect, try thinking of it as an analogy for children to understand the kind of "heroes" those men were. Before you start to tell me I don't know what I am talking about, I am a former Navy Hospital Corpsman, my husband is a current active duty Hospital Corpsman, and our grandfathers were all active duty in the Navy during WWII.
Actually, I think you make a good point. This is a perspective I hadn't considered. It doesn't change my opinion but I respect your point of view. My grandfather and four great uncles were also in WWII and I have had at least one or two men in my family in the military every generation since the Civil War. I am a Veteran as is my father and brother so I truly know and appreciate the sacrifice of all military veterans and their families. Thanks for giving me a positive way to look at the shirt. It would be a great way to help kids understand the sacrifice of these great men and that they are superheroes if it weren't for the two glaring mistakes it has. One: There are only 12 stripes on the flag. The thirteenth stripe, which is red, is missing at the top. Two: The shirt is not made in America. I would rather pay a higher rate for an American made product that supports our countries jobs and our infrastructure.
Thank you for your families service to our country. I consider all who have served and are serving my brothers and sisters and my heroes.
The shirt is too cute for my tastes, but it's still neat.
ckeilah wrote:...and still disrespecting the glorious flag of the erstwhile great Republic. Sad, woot! Even HGTV learned from their tacky mistake http://www.prdaily.com/Main/Articles/14679.aspx
Haha, people will rage over anything just to have some excitement in their day.
This shirt is awesome. It's nerdy and cute. I like the mix of dc and marvel- sort of "united" in purpose. It wouldn't be the same if it was just one or the other.
I love the reference to Iwo Jima. These super heroes are reminding us of what the original super heroes did there.

Bolen or Poulan push mower?
Okay, neither will probably win any awards; but I need a push mower asap to mow my lawn (just moved into a new house). The front yard is small and easy. That's where I really need to mow. The back yard is fairly large and more park-like (patches of grass, dirt, etc.). I think I'm still going to need a weed-eater at some point, but i'd like to use my mower back there as well. So, it's going to need to be somewhat sturdy to handle uneven terrain.
Basically, on my local craigslist, there is:
Bolen 3.5 hp -- $75
Poulan 4.5 hp -- $60
both look to be in about the same shape.
Is this a no-brainer? I have no experience with either. I gave my last craftsman to a neighborhood kid before I moved.
When you're ready to buy new... you don't have to spend much more
to get a perfectly adequate mower (LINK -- just $179)
When buying used it's about the seller and it's use/care history. If either of those is from the local mower repair shop where someone with a clue has gone over them and will be there next week (or in August) if/when you have a problem... go for it.
I'd wait a few months for new better offers on ebay...then buy one around the fall.
i bought what was once a Bolen, the guy had pieced parts together from various broken lawnmowers and painted them..so the picture on craigslist was misleading. i'm probably an idiot, but i got him to throw in a gas can.:jester:
That said, what about getting a little exercise? Buy a reel-type push mower? No maintenance.
...and yes, you'll eventually want a line trimmer.

Husband visiting Sydney on limited budgetJan 2004
My husband is visiting Sydney in March (a dream realized) and would really appreciate recommendations for where to go, what to see & do, where to stay, eat etc. He has a very limited budget. Thanks! Sharon
Buy the Lonely Planet Sydney book. It's perfect for that. Former Sydney resident. Dana
Brief visit with sprinting toddlerFebruary 2003
Does anyone have any recommendations for our upcoming brief visit to Sydney? We're looking for a cool hotel that won't look ascant at our sprinting toddler, fun things for him to do during the day, and any remarkable places to eat. Thank you- Christina
The zoo in Manly is a fun daytrip, a pleasant ferry ride across the bay from Sydney. Our son also enjoyed visiting one of the wild animal parks (there are several in the Blue Mountains, a bus or car ride away) where he was able to play with kangaroo, koalas, dingos and the like. You can find out about these places from your concierge or local tourist shops. enjoy your trip!
we lived in sydney several years ago and it is a great place for children. i would recommend doing a city search for sydney's summer (it is now summer there) events. there are tons of outdoor events going on in sydney this time of year (such as music in the park, outdoor movies overlooking opera house, festivals and such). also the restaurant i would recommend is the cafe sydney which overlooks the opera house and harbor bridge. try to get a table on the deck or looking on the harbor and do it at dusk for the beautful sunset, food is also great! sydney also has a zoo and you can take the ferry there which is fun. and also a day trip to the blue mountains on the train is a fun time. have fun! chalyn
We went to Sydney last year and but did not take our toddler who was 20 mo at the time. But we found out there would be a lot of things that he would enjoy. Ferries ride itself would be fun. You can take the ferry to Toranga zoo. We stayed at Pacific International Suites,a really nice apartment 1 block from Darling Harbor. Darling Harbor itself would be fun, there is a really nice playground that the kids would like. The beach would be fun for the kids too. There is the Royal Botanial Garden for them to run around. Feel free to email me if you want more info. smartin
We spent a week in Sydney in 2000. I can't recomend a hotel, since our kids were well past toddler age, but I can highly recommend the Sydney zoo. The ferry takes you there (a fun ferry, but watch your child carefully if you stand on the outside deck, since the railings are low and it is pretty open). We also did some fun day-outings (through the blue mountains, and on a dolphin-watch boat), but they involved fairly long bus rides, so might not be ideal with a toddler. In general, we found Australians to be very friendly and helpful. R.K.
Calling home from AustraliaFebruary 2003
My husband will be in Australia on business soon, and he likes to call home every day when he's away. Any suggestions for ways to call that won't result in a killer phone bill? There doesn't seem to be anything in the archives that addresses this. Thanks! Kathy
Buy an international phone card from a news stand or corner store. The price is under .10 a minute and will not set you back at all. This is the cheapest way I have found. The cards are very easy to use and can be recharged over the phone. Hadley
try calling cards there are several to choose from Ive found the non rechargeable to be the best economicaly Andrea
I can highly recommend the carrier ''Hello World.'' You can call Australia for 14 cents a minute and they can set your husband up with a code, so he can call you from Australia through them for the same inexpensive rate. I have used their service for years, since I call Germany frequently. Because of the time difference, I sometimes need to call from my work phone and the call gets directly billed to my home phone at no extra cost. There is no ''plan'' cost with this carrier. You only get billed for the calls you make, and if you want, you can set up automatic payment with them too. Here is the customer service number: 1- 888-333-6710. Heike
I have always used an international calling card from companies like MCI. It can be very inexpensive. Vivienne
When in Australia, look for pre-paid phone cards to buy. Because the dollar is so strong down there now, that may be your cheapest bet. I have purchased prepaid phone cards here (Costco is by far the cheapest I've found so far -- comes out to less than 5 cents for domestic minutes), then used them overseas to call the U.S. I also use them here to make long-distance domestic calls. You have to call a customer service number, listed on the back of the card, to get the special access code to call from Australia (or any country you might be traveling to). When you call, they will tell you how many domestic minutes equal one overseas minute. It depends on the country. Here's the customer service number on the back of my Sprint card from Costco: 1-800-203-2821. You could call them for info.
DO NOT use a calling card (i.e. AT+T, SBC). The charges added to your card and the calls themselves are much more expensive than any other method. You could also find out how much collect calls to your home from Australia would be. That way, you'd only be charged for calls when you're actually home to receive them. I still think the prepaid cards are the most convenient. Frequent traveler
You can use a messenger. You could download Trillian for free and have free conversations. The voice or video messengers don't work very well but written communications are great. Regards, Kishore
Definitely try onesuite.com, which is a rechargeable calling card type thing. The rate to Australia by 1-800 access number is $0.055, and by local access number is $0.045 per minute. That means if you have flat rate on your phone for local calls, you pay just $0.045 per minute. The lines are very clear, and they also have several other nice features which make calling very easy. I call China every week, and the rate is only $0.039. You can recharge by phone or on line. Great long distant option. Judy
I forwarded the orginal message to my brother in Australia, who I talk to weekly (he calls because it is cheaper than if I call him). Here is what he sent back to me:
Australian International Long Distance: For international phone call from Australia, I use a prepaid ''Apple'' phone card www.applecomm.com.au . Available at most convenience stores (like 7Eleven) or newsagents in major Australian cities. There are many different providers of similar type cards --all special deals-- but I prefer the Apple brand offered by Green Communications. The rate is AU$0.04 minute from Australia to the USA/Canada or Europe (that's US 2.5cents per min) & the quality is excellent. (NOT an Internet call; it's a standard long distance reseller.) No subscription, no sign-up, no flagfall access charges. Billed per exact second. The card is excellent value to call anywhere in the world and within Australia. To use, simply purchase an Apple Card in denomination of AU$10, $20 or $50. (If you purchase $50 card you receive an $5 bonus for total $55 worth of calls.) The card will have unique PIN code & list local dial-in access phone numbers for each major Australian city. Just dial the local access number, follow instructions to enter your PIN and dial your international phone number. Quick note, in Australia each local call from a standard home or business phone line is billed by Telstra (the monopoly local phone provider) at AU$0.25 per local call (untimed). So, just keep in mind that calling the Apple local access number from any home or business line incurs a AU$0.25 local call charge by Telstra ... or from public pay phones it's AU$0.40 for a local call.
Australian Mobile Phone Service: If you already own a GSM mobile phone (GSM is a cell phone that uses a SIM smart card; make sure it is 'dual band' phone as the GSM wave band in North America is different frequency from the rest-of-world), the best deal is the prepaid ''Communic8'' (yes, spelled with the numeric '8') www.communic8.com.au . Great starter deal for AU$25: new Australian mobile phone number, AU$25 free calls (sometimes AU$50 during promotions), voice mail, two months network access, no contract, no subscription, immediate activation and standard mobile phone rates. Purchase at any Telstra phone shop. When call value/network access is depleted, simply add more via credit card or purchase a pre-paid Communic8 'add-value' card available at most supermarkets, petrol stations and convenience stores.
If you don't own a GSM mobile phone, Vodaphone offers a pre-paid mobile phone service kit that includes a new GSM mobile phone - and- SIM smart card with new Australian mobile phone number for about AU$200 . No contract. No sign-up. Purchase the Vodaphone pre-paid mobile phone kit at most convenience shops (7Eleven) or electronic stores (Tandy, Dick Smith, Office Works). You keep the GSM mobile phone and may re-use it in most countries around the world by locally purchasing a SIM smart card (with new local mobile phone) in the country that you visit. Similar to 'Communic8, simply add call value/network access by purchasing 'add-value' pre-paid Vodaphone cards.
-I know this is long, but my brother is unemployed down under (by his choice) and has the time/need to research best/cheapest deals on everything. Hope it helps. Kerri

Freestyle riches.
One ride on the Yes Jackpot Snowboard and you'll relegate your beaten-to-smithereens park board to basement storage where it belongs, thanks to the Jackpot's lively freestyle flex and nimble carving capabilities. Like cashing in on the freestyle lottery, the Jackpot takes your park riding to the next level with its innovative Mid-Bite edges and smooth, predictable feel underfoot. The poplar wood core withstands all the abuse you can dish out, and lively triax fiberglass enhances response for sending the biggest booters in the park.
The Jackpot's twin shape keeps you perfectly balanced for perfecting your switch skills on jibs, rails, and jumps. CamRock delivers the locked-in stability and responsive feel of camber directly underfoot. Rocker at the tips loosens it up for buttering and pressing, also lending a forgiving feel for dialing in new tricks.
Mid-Bite pulls in the edges between the binding inserts by 1.5-millimeters. This creates a narrower waist for lightning quick edge-to-edge transitions while providing a wider area underfoot for stable landings and take-offs. MidBite is a great way to redistribute edge pressure to the zones most important for initiating turns (i.e. tip and tail contacts), resulting in locked-in carves at high speeds.
- Lively freestyle board for jibs, jumps, and cruising
- CamRock for catch-free freestyle and locked-in carves
- Twin shape is symmetrically balanced in the park
- Flex sits in the medium range with softer, playful tips
- Mid-Bite edges for faster edge-to-edge transitions
- Full poplar core is smooth flexing and lightweight
- Triax fiberglass increases torsional response
- Sintered True base is durable, fast gliding

The YES. Jackpot snowboard is the holy grail of freestyle riding. Whether you are getting gnarly in the park or shredding the streets, this board will always deliver. The CamRock camber loads this board up with more pop than Britney Spears can handle, while at the same time allowing you to hold your presses for days; nay... centuries. The medium soft flex and true twin cut transforms this board into a multi directional jibbing machine. As Billy Mays would say it, "But wait, there's more!". The Jackpots True Sintered base makes this shred stick more durable than superman. I've chucked this board over fences, slammed it against handrails, and jumped it off a 3 story apartment gap (check the pic below!). Also, this board was put through a grueling full time seasonal snowboard instructor position at Northstar California. Which included swarms of rabid children diving onto the board and bindings with copious amounts of goldfish, gondola door jams, and magic carpet marathon rides. Still, despite everything we've been through, this board keeps performing like new. I've road a lot of boards in my day but the Yes. Jackpot stands atop them all like Neo in the Matrix, Jet Li in The One, or Bob Ross when it comes to painting. So stop what your doing, cancel your trips to Las Vegas, and instead go all in on the 2016 Yes. Jackpot!
If you are ever in need of Snowboarding/Gear advice or are in need of a killer analogy to brighten up your day, don't hesitate to contact George P. at Backcountry!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The Yes. Jackpot is an awesome park board that is heavily influenced by all-mountain riding. The CamRock profile offers a camber section between the inserts for great pop and edge hold, and rocker on the tip and tail for presses, easier turn initiation, and help in powder to keep your tips afloat. It is a bit stiffer than the Yes. Basic to stomp big jumps easier, has a harder sintered base, and has a "mid-bite" in between the inserts to snap turns easier while still offering a stable platform. The Yes. Jackpot has won Transworld's Good Wood award for the past few years and is guaranteed to be a good time.

Identity theft has become so prevalent that almost no one is immune anymore. There are so many ways for culprits to steal personally identifiable information (PII.) The ID thieves are doing so by stealing Social Security numbers, credit or debit cards and even getting information off of phone calling cards.
A General Accounting Office report estimates that about 750,000 Americans are victims of identity theft every year. That might not be an accurate number. Some people don't report the crime. Some don't even know they are victims.
On Dec. 9, the U.S. Department of Defense announced its decision to base many of its new F-35 fighter jets in South Carolina. Two training squadrons and three operational squadron, almost 90 new jets, have been designated for Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.
That's great news, especially given South Carolina's current economy. The new jets will mean hundreds of new jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars in new construction projects for the state.
As Americans why do we blame everything on the president? Is it just that we must create a scapegoat to feel good about ourselves. Do we need someone or something to blame for every situation that occurs in America so we don't have to get involved?
Our economic issues and government problems did not occur over night. The current president nor any other president can fix these problems in just four years. At least we have a president who is trying to make changes, whether we agree or not.
There is nothing like the glow of Christmas tree lights or a flickering candle to put you in the holiday spirit. But if you're not careful, that glow could turn destructive – even deadly.

On Sept. 15, 2010, our families' lives were turned upside down by one simple word – cancer. If you, your family, your friend or a loved one has ever been stricken by this ugly disease, you'll know that this letter is heartfelt and sincere.
Jamie, a husband of 17 years and father of three children, was diagnosed with stage 3 esophageal cancer. What we have learned from our experience is that life must go on. We still worship, still raise our children, still attend our boys' ballgames, still work and take care of household duties.

Cow Corner looks back at the historic Stanford match, a game marred by the fact that England were useless.
Due to the credit crunch, Cowers had to try and power his laptop on Lidl home brand batteries and hence was unable to provide a live service but here are our in-game notes.
Pre-match: Kevin Pietersen wins the toss and elects to bat. The $20 million on offer is the largest single payout for a sporting match but there's still not enough cash for Rudi Koertzen to get a shirt that fits. The umpire strides out in a magenta number, that was the F5 key on the spectrum keyboard wasn't it.
Eng 4-0 (1 over) - The first ball from Darren Sammy is a wide - could be a wide, he could just be useless. Dave Mohammed misfields, there is definitely a gag somewhere about him and profit but then we remember what happened to those Danes.
Eng 13-0 (2 overs) - Matt Prior smashes the first boundary of the evening, he looks to the stands - possibly for adulation, probably to see if his wife is sitting on something more comfortable than a Texan's thigh.
Eng 19-0 (3 overs) - Nasser Hussain calls England's opponents the West Indies. What on earth would make him call a team of West Indians playing in the West Indies, the West Indies. Stanford's hired goons are soon in the com box to tell him it's Stanford.
Eng 22-2 (4 overs) - Two wickets for Jerome Taylor. A lady is going wild on the boundary, she must know his chip and pin number.
Eng 27-2 (5 overs) - The cameras pan to a fan waving an England flag, that's 33% of the travelling Barmy Army in one shot. No need to hire a coach, a taxi would have done.
Eng 30-3 (6 overs) - Owais Shah holes out to Mohammed at long-on. Coach Eldine Baptiste has had them on the carrot diet so they can spot the ball out of these lights which are powered by 60 watt blubs.
Eng 31-3 (7 overs) - David Lloyd: "100 countries are watching this, Albania, Yemen and possibly Mars."
Eng 34-4 (8 overs) - Sammy removes the leg stump of Pietersen. Bumble muses "flying fish, flying stumps." The first shot of Stanford in the crowd, he's not eating - how un-Texan.
Eng 40-4 (9 overs) - Tony Cozier explains that it's Antigua & Barbuda Independence Day. The biggest shock of Cowers life was when we found out that Cozier was a white guy.
Eng 43-4 (10 overs) - An attempted chat with Rammy Sarwan on the outfield. Sarwan "I can't hear you." Cozier: "You'll have to speak into the microphone." Sarwan: "Jerry, pull the high end out. I'm still getting some hiss back." Cozier: "Say something about the cricket!"
Eng 46-4 (11 overs) - The South African Charles Colville, Mike Haysman, has a chat with Peter Moores on the boundary. He says England are dealing with the pressure well. The scoreboard suggests that Moores is a big fat liar.
Eng 54-5 (12 overs) - Flintoff goes after an ugly heave. They play 'no woman, no cry' over the PA - that's Sir Allen's theme song.
Eng 56-6 (13 overs) - Paul Collingwood is superbly caught by a diving Sarwan. The cameras focus on KP who looks like he invested in an Icelandic bank two months ago.
Eng 60-7 (14 overs) - Luke Wright goes for the big hit but Sammy holds another skier on the boundary. Money for Nothing comes on the PA. You know Dire Straits leadman Mark Knopfler doen't use a plectrum - that's what England need at the moment - courage...and possibly bleeding fingers.
Eng 64-8 (15 overs) - England are now relying on Samit Patel, the "boy from nowhere" according to Hussain although Leicester is more accurate.
Eng 72-8 (16 overs) - Bumble claims that in the UK, bars and clubs are packed to the rafters watching the cricket. Cowers texts the Ministry of Sound who confirm this is a fib.
Eng 79-8 (17 overs) - England may not have turned up but E Xtras is having a blinder, nine wides - star man!
Eng 86-8 (18 overs) - This is so one-sided that Stanford considers cancelling all future series and sponsoring a 20 million quid winner takes all current vs legends darts competition with pub league rules. Jocky Wilson to open up with a pint of pernod.
Eng 92-9 (19 overs) - Patel is run out by Chris Gayle after making 22 - England's top scorer. The tourists have eased to 10000-1 for the win with the satchel swingers.
Eng 99 (20 overs) - Mr Benn bowls Harmison and England are all out for 99. They set the Superstars 100 to win, it's just a crass marketing ploy to help math-challenged Americans understand the game.
Superstars 2-0 (1 over) - Frenetic activity between innings as England players phone builders around the UK to cancel extensions while the Porsche dealership in St John's Wood sees a 750% rise in cancellations. Harmison opens with a maiden, the run rate is over five - we're in this!
Superstars 15-0 (2 overs) - Andre Fletcher smacks three boundaries off Stuart Broad - he's got a bucketful of cash and a nightclub to get to, take yer pick tonight son.
Superstars 22-0 (3 overs) - All this pressure can't be good for Gayle's dodgy ticker, he smacks a boundary to help the valve.
Superstars 27-0 (4 overs) - Flintoff into the attack. If England win it from here forget the pedalo, he'll hijack a cruise boat.
Superstars 49-0 (5 overs) - Gayle smacks Harmy for six over long-on and then over mid-wicket into a neighbouring island quite possibly. 22 from the over. Rik Waller's mum is warbling - the fat lady is singing!
Superstars 58-0 (6 overs) - Stanford thinks the game at Lord's should be better branded and considers moving it to Stamford Bridge with Roman accepting $1 million dollars to change one letter. Stamford Brook tube station is a back-up with Broad confident of getting some seam movement off the District Line.
Superstars 67-0 (7 overs) - Patel comes into the attack but Gayle hits him for a huge six. "Mercy! Chris Gayle gaan mad!" That's PA Dave's verdict.
Superstars 71-0 (8 overs) - Forget the spare room....KP's in the shed tonight, Jessica might have to do another record, dear God!
Superstars 79-0 (9 overs) - Another huge six from Gayle - his fourth - this time off Graeme Swann. "Matthaattime," shrieks PA Dave, he must be on a slice of the loot.
Superstars 83-0 (10 overs) - The West Indies dressing room are no longer watching the cricket and are instead surfing the web for investment opportunities. Sarwan calculates he can buy all of Cleckheaton with his cash.
Superstars 85-0 (11 overs) - Gayle reaches his half century off 33 balls. Stanford is worried that 20-12 could be a branding problem back in Texas.
Superstars 93-0 (12 overs) - Sky squeeze in one more advert. If you play it backwards, it's the sound of Bob Willis shouting "TERRIBLE ENGLAND"
Superstars 101-0 (12.5 overs) - Gayle smashes another huge six to bring up victory and the ground goes ballistic. Stanford leaps over the hoardings to run on the pitch - that's a £50 fine, I suppose he can afford it.
And there we go a projected 700 million viewers have witnessed England trounced and a few guys from the Caribbean get very rich.

Detectives investigating Jimmy Savile sex abuse allegations today arrested his former radio producer.
Ted Beston was held at his home in Bromley on suspicion of sex offences. He was held at 6.30am and detectives were carrying out searches at the large detached house.
A woman officer emerged this morning carrying a laptop computer. The former Radio 1 producer — known as "Uncle" Ted Beston — was one of Savile's closest friends.
He was held as part of Operation Yewtree which is examining hundreds of allegations against Savile as well as those who may have colluded with him in his offending, or were also involved in offending themselves.
Beston is the eighth person to be arrested by Operation Yewtree detectives. Others arrested include Gary Glitter, comedian Freddie Starr and publicist Max Clifford.
Last week police said a total of 31 allegations of rape have been made against Savile so far.
Some 589 people have come forward with information relating to the scandal, with a total of 450 complaints against the BBC presenter.

Stephenson's Principles Revisited in 1997
By Robert A. LeachWhile sitting at my desk last week waiting for therapy to expire on several patients who were to subsequently receive my adjustments, an older friend of mine from another small Mississippi town called to drop me a hint. It seems that he had been revisiting his Palmer collection (i.e., Dr. B.J. Palmer's so-called "green books"), reading a work by R.W. Stephenson, The Art of Chiropractic. Obviously a fan of Dr. Palmer, he said that Stephenson's principles should be updated in light of what we now know from modern research.
My friend said he couldn't think of anyone better qualified to do that updating than me, given that I had written a textbook about modern chiropractic research. I told him that I appreciated his confidence in me, and that I would look into the matter.
Arriving home for lunch, I quickly perused the book (only 72 pages), noting the definitions of science, philosophy, and definitions on the normal and abnormal positions of vertebrae. Later, I took the time to re-read the 1947 revised edition in more detail. On page 3 Dr. Stephenson defined, abnormal positions of vertebrae:
"A vertebra is in an abnormal position when it is out of proper alignment with the vertebra above or the one below or both; so that its articulations are not in proper apposition. These are classified as three kinds, according to degree; namely, fractures, dislocations, and subluxations. Fractures and dislocations are not in the realm of Chiropractic. Subluxations are the physical representations of the cause of dis-ease. Innate's opinion is the criterion of abnormal positions, or of normal positions."1
On page four we have the definition of subluxations:
"A subluxation is the condition of a vertebra that has lost its proper juxtaposition with the one above or the one below or both; to an extent less than a luxation (dislocation); which impinges nerves and interferes with the transmission of mental impulses ... unless it is the cause of dis-ease it is not a subluxation."1
There are so many important topics, from "Innate Intelligence is the Adjustor," to "Nerve Tracing," to the last topic, "Spinographs," that they cannot be adequately discussed in a brief manner. We will instead focus on perhaps the most important single issue Dr. Stephenson addressed, what we now refer to as vertebral subluxation complex (VSC).
The first edition of Dr. Stephenson's work appeared in 1927. We have to remember that at that time there was no cineradiography. Important discoveries in spinal reflexes and facilitation were years away, as were a complete knowledge of CNS phenomena like descending inhibition and neuronal pools. Melzack and Wall's, "Gate Control Theory of Pain" would not appear until two decades after his 1947 revised edition was released.
Finally, tests of inter- and intra-rater agreement for reliability of x-ray interpretation, palpation for tenderness, examination for range of motion asymmetry, thermography, electromyography, leg length inequality, and other clinical tests associated with analysis of VSC were not begun until the last decade.
Therefore, in the context of what was known at the time, a good argument can be made that despite the protestations of some of Dr. Stephenson's contemporaries to the effect that VSC is a dynamic lesion, as opposed to static one, there was no solid scientific evidence yet available counter to his or Palmer's view.
But as we begin our second century of drugless health care, we must now finally and totally reject their hypothesis, even as Catholics now universally accept that Galileo was right about the earth being round. There is simply no point in putting people to the stake over this one anymore. There is now overwhelming evidence that VSC is a dynamic lesion.2
The definition of subluxation first described by chiropractors Solon Langworthy, Oakley Smith and Minora Paxson in the first chiropractic textbook, Modernized Chiropractic (1906), is worth repeating here:
"A simple subluxated vertebra differs from a normal vertebra only in its field of motion and the center of its field of motion; because of its being subluxated, its various positions of rest are differently located than when it was a normal vertebra ... its field of motion may be too great in some directions and too small in others."3
In retrospect, a triad of findings reported by chiropractors and osteopaths early in the century appear to best fit with current findings of clinical research of reliability and validity of a number of tests we use in chiropractic practice. The triad of findings attributable to so-called phase 1 (pre-radiographic) spinal lesions (segmental dysfunction) includes: restricted motion, paraspinal and/or spinous tenderness, and taut muscle (or spasm).
In contrast with these more promising measures, leg-length testing, paraspinal infrared thermography, and assessments of static radiographic 1-2 mm spinal deviations using line analysis, have generally demonstrated only poor or fair inter- and intra-rater agreements in blinded tests.2
It seems that we should follow the advice of our esteemed scientific friend (or heretic, according to some in our midst) Dr. Joseph Keating Jr., when he proclaims: "Skepticism ... should therefore be a characteristic of workers in the science of chiropractic. When considering subluxation, there is good reason for skepticism."5
Although it may be disparaging to think that Dr. Stephenson could have been so totally wrong about VSC, stay tuned for later visitations of his work that point to ideas that may prove more tenable. And remember, in science, as in baseball, it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings!
