FYI: Office of Public Interest
Lower your loan payments! Beginning July 1, 2009, Income-Based Repayment (IBR) will be available as a new loan repayment option for federal loans (undergraduate and graduate). IBR uses a sliding scale to determine how much borrowers can pay on their loans. For most borrowers, IBR loan payments will be less than 10% of their income. Borrowers must qualify for a "partial financial hardship" to receive a reduced payment. Based on program guidelines, many WCL graduates will qualify. Remaining debt, if any, will be forgiven after 25 years of qualifying payments. For graduates working in the public sector, the new Public Service Loan Forgiveness program will forgive remaining debt on federal loans after 10 years of qualifying payments.
WCL has debuted a new podcast series about recent developments in federal debt relief assistance. In conjunction with Equal Justice Works, the series discusses both IBR and Public Service Loan Forgiveness. The first podcast is a general program overview. Subsequent podcasts will discuss specific portions of this federal program and other debt assistance programs. Alumni with questions about this program or other debt relief assistance programs should contact Jarrod Shirk, Public Interest Coordinator, in the Office of Public Interest at email@example.com.

Engaging Our Alumni...
"We have the unique responsibility of building relationships with our alumni and the goal of integrating them into the life of the school. The rich tradition of WCL grows with each graduating class and with it comes new opportunities for alumni participation."
American University Washington College of Law has more than 12,000 domestic and international alumni. Membership in the Alumni Association is granted upon graduation. Since no dues are collected for you membership, participation in Alumni activities and support of the annual fund is encouraged and appreciated.
The Office of Development and Alumni Relations is continually striving to reach out to alumni and remind them of the important role they play at WCL long after graduation. From serving as a judge on moot court or as a speaker at a student group function, reconnecting with the school can not only enrich the lives of volunteers but also that of students.
Here at WCL, volunteer opportunities abound. All we need is you!
Send Us Your Email Address
We can't send you information on upcoming alumni events, student programs and WCL news if we don't have your email address. Please take a moment to email email@example.com with your current email address (and your name and graduate year) today! Thank you.

The sun this morning was incredible. The trees seem to be vividly green for the first time this season, outgrowing that yellowish first-bloom color. The sun was clearly helping in all this, with the clouds from the storm rolling square over the mountains, endlessly it seemed. We made today. We stayed up all night so to make the day so luminous. Because the sun is in our blood, it is our creator and our guide (and I will not judge you if you return the favor, love). The sun does not judge, either, except "illuminate" or "sustain the blockage". Like the big black hole in my history, my head, my humor, where it concerns J*. It is intangible to me outside of emotional scars, but when I see that in the light of healing, I recognize just how deep the wound had been. Still, I must be like the sun, not succumb to judging him or our history. I must be like the sun and return into loving and thoughtful giving.
There were flowers, there was energy for them to grow within the song. So we return: the sun calls the blooms out of hibernation, and then the rhythms of the wind give them presence, sharing their sauna of scent, their wetness, their delightful aimlessness. We pick them, and suddenly they have a new type of freedom. Flowers do not die off as many plants do, slowly, after they are plucked from their roots. No, flowers gain the freedom like the root-less do, the wanderlust that describes many tribes of human. They enter our lives, and we give them backdrops, vases, meaning. A bouquet of flowers lights up a cold hospital room like it were a group of old friends, wishing you well.
With all these wounds, it is interesting that I am strongest to deal with the physical ones. I am not afraid of my puncture now that I can no longer see the fat and muscle, oozing out but steadfast and held just barely outside my body. It is no longer painful to wash, unsettling to touch, and nauseating to look at. I feel stronger in learning to take care of my physical body than I do against my emotions, sometime, though even in these dark hours, I feel more peaceful in my head than I ever have. It's the hidden emotions, the ones that even we do not notice, that eventually are the cause for heart-pain. My fear of physical injuries is the one I am learning to cope with now. Every day, a new series of challenges.
And my one for today is to stay awake. The hours have added up and, now that I am alone, I recognize how tired I am. Being a good parent, a good lover, a good mind, a good body, a good spirit…. these things exhaust a woman. I hope that most days are not as difficult as these. I wish upon myself the clarity that I've seen over the past twenty-four hours (and then some). As I was told last night, "You must see your future". I see many more days in the future, full of the prophecies written in the sun and the flowers, and in the eyes of an old friends mother. She told me the truth, the future, I know, but it is up to me to accept that into my life.
There are things that I know, with my heart, and things that I know, with my head. I believe I've seen the third, now, the sight from the gut. There is so much I will not learn in this lifetime, but I see that I have acquired the knowledge, at one time or another, necessary to keep my soul on track. And I see the loved ones who have been around, who are here with me now, and those dearly departed. I cannot dismiss them for even a moment, or I am to be miserable. My greatest joys are in the eyes of those with whom I share my heart. But without trusting the mind and gut, your heart is unstable or unprotected… But, if we stay with life – the flowers – and with love – the sun… well, we can then be our own music makers, our own dreamers, beloveds.

1950 Pacemaker Horn - advise please
I understand that the Pacemaker originally had a trumpet type horn - I have one but also have a pair of the compact type that were used in the other models that I may use. Can someone please provide a picture or diagram of where the horns were fitted and what the mounting brackets looked like. There is nothing obvious in the engine bay that I can see and I do not want to drill holes unnecessarily.
Thanks in advance
See pic attached. Horns used were the compact type (someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all step-downs utilized the same horns, same mounting set-up). These mount to the diagonal braces that run from the firewall down to the frame. At the top of that brace, there is a curved 'C'-shape and the horn bolts to that. Actually sandwiches it with a bit of rubber between for shock. The two horns were different from each other, a left and right and each with it's own tone (and upper and a lower).
Hornet eng.-TwinHPower.jpg600 x 449 - 47K -
I'll take a picture tomorrow of a bracket that is loose and not mounted in a car to more clearly show the 'C'-portion.
Thanks Russell.
Do you have a photo of higher resolution as I cannot zoom as the photo gets too pixelated. I appreciate your help
Alistair -
The 1950 Hudson Pacemaker used one trumpet horn. This was a stand alone model that had this setup for one year only.
The Pacemaker Deluxe (50A) had the dual horns as I have on mine whereas the standard Pacemaker had the one trumpet horn as pointed out by "Hudzilla" (just my "two cents" or rather..... "tooting my horn!").
It's amazing. I learn something new about Hudson's every single day.
Let's try it again. Look at brackets hanging up (cowl vent is in the middle). They are hanging upside down. The 'C' goes at the top . . . .
Wait, let me go get another pic . . .
Horn(s) mount at the top of the diagonal brace set in place in 2nd pic. Note 'C'-shape at the top. Horn(s) mounts to this part of the bracket.
Hope this helps. If you need something else, let me know.

Hi Russell, that is very clear thank you and very interesting - my car does not have these braces and there is not even any sign of the top fastening point as can be clearly seen on the RHS of the firewall photo nor is there any sign of fastening points on the chassis rail (see photos and excuse the wiring not yet finished). Yes it is RHD
Just wondering if this may be due to the shorter 119in chassis - is your car 124in? I can clearly see where they need to go so will have to look at making some appropriate mounting brackets for the firewall. I do appreciate your help.
Maybe some further info on this may be added to this tread.

Alistair, that's interesting. So, your car is an import, but studying these cars as I have lately, I can see very easily how they were designed to be either RH or LHD, as mounting points, etc. are on both sides of the chassis. Actually, RHD is more difficult, due to the clutter of components, as Geoff has brought up before. Meaning, if the clutter wasn't enough on the RH side, now you've got steering components in the way as well. It was my understanding that most everything was the same on the imports (at least step-downs). Looking at your pictures, I don't see where the mounting bracket for the brace goes, or was, if ever it was there, which I thought it should've been. I wish Geoff would chime in, perhaps he knows more.
I'm gonna study your pics some more, as there are foreign holes there, as well.
To answer your question, yes, my car is the longer 124", but I thought the braces were used on both the senior and junior cars. -
Junior cars don't have the braces.
S.w.b. cars don't have the braces. I used to own this car, and it had the original long trumpet horn, which used to short out on the battery occasionally! Actually the history of the car is a bit convoluted, it was originally brought to N.Z. from Malaya by a N.Z. serviceman, who obtained a r.h.d. conversion kit form Australia and had it converted locally. when I bought it, it had no exhaust system, and I had a huge job fabricating the front pipe, because of the steering arm in the way. Turned out it still had the l.h.d. exhaust adapter. I eventually obtained the correct r.h.d. right-angle adapter, made things a lot easier. Read my next W.T.N. article to find out why I sold this car.
GeoffIf you're stuck in a hole, stop digging. -
I knew we'd get down to the bottom of it all . . . well, at least y'all would. Sorry if I added confusion!
So, junior car owners: what do the short horns mount to? I assume a small bracket that attaches directly to the firewall? -
Hopefully the attached pictures will allow you to determine the installation requirements for the dual horn installation found on most of the Short Wheel Base Hudson Stepdowns. The installations shown are of the horn installation in a 1953 Wasp. Note that the two horn brackets are NOT installed in the same manner for this car. One of the mounting points (Left side of the car/driver side in the US variant) has a slot cut into the firewall re-enforcement brace to accept the horn bracket. The horn bracket on the opposite side bolts through the same brace on the opposite side.
First and second pictures are of the right side the remaining four pictures are of the left side installation.
Just for histories record, at one time I had three 1950 Pacemakers. All had the trumpet horn set up. The convertible of the bunch had a high and low trumpet horn set. All of the trumpets were mounted on the right side of the car.Left Horn mounting bracket SWB.jpg1193 x 842 - 371KLeft Horn mounting SWB.jpg1608 x 1343 - 570Kright Horn mounting bracket 2 SWB.jpg1388 x 1210 - 449Kright Horn mounting bracket 3SWB.jpg1536 x 1290 - 587Kright Horn mounting bracket 4 SWB.jpg779 x 949 - 254Kright Horn mounting bracket SWB.jpg1014 x 1090 - 305K -
Ken, that is just perfect! Many thanks for going to the trouble of the photos and your descriptive notes.
Thanks also to everyone else who responded.
I am confident that the job can now be done properly and looking the part. I will print the pics and head to the shed shortly.
Thanks again :)

Just as easy to customize as Openbox is. Light and super-fast.
Liquid Lemur is a custom Debian Squeeze distro that includes the latest stable Xfce4, Cairo Dock, Liquorix and Debian kernel, and lots of custom scripts/artwork. It was created to fill the void left behind by others in the same class. The goal was simple…create a fairly fast and functional Xfce distro, that was also pleasing to the eyes.

There will certainly be rival merc groups within the same factions. If merc group X is for example recruiting members away from merc group Y what would be stopping merc group Y members from filing false complaints against any merc group X members that happen to end up on the same team in a match?
A system would need to be less open to abuse to be effective, otherwise it would create more problems than it solves.
That's exactly why any system related to this has to be neutered from day one.
An approval rating or whatever is fine so long as all it gives is bragging rights. As soon as this stuff starts to have real consequences, whether rewards for good behavior or restrictions for bad behavior, people will abuse it to upvote their friends and ban that guy who always kills them.

Hola Hellions!
Just to let y'all know..the trade paperback that was released on Wednesday,is sold out...not sure if there will be a second printing,just wanted to let you folks know.
Hola Hellions!
Just to let y'all know..the trade paperback that was released on Wednesday,is sold out...not sure if there will be a second printing,just wanted to let you folks know.
I read that yeah the are doing a second printing, I forget where I read it. DH digital? DH facebook page?
But reading that its been selling out made me get off my butt and go out and get it today. And I got the last copy at my LCS.
My ONLY complaint is that the hard cover doesn't have Mignola's art on it, it has one of those dust covers of Mikes cover but the actual book is a clean black face. The dust covers get so damaged I always end up taking them off so that disappoints me a bit. I would have preferred the art being printed on the cover like Screw on Head HC was but thats just nit picking.
I specifically like the sepia toned pages for the sketchbook and title pages and chapters. Nice old fashioned touch.
Ars longa, vita brevis
Glad I pre-ordered mine Amazon. It's getting ready to ship, that's two weeks earlier than they had it originally!
I've been trade waiting so I'm very much looking forward to getting it.
Our local shop got one in and I got it. Now it's out of print. Damn I'm glad i decided to go ahead and order it months ago, this series is awesome and I'm really looking forward to the new Baltimore series thats coming out in a couple months.
I picked up my copy of the hardcover yesterday. It's a beautiful book. There are great sketchbook pages by Ben Stenbeck, a mechanical drawing of Baltimore's leg by Mignola and a couple of great pin-up pages.
Edit: There is also a really great introduction by Joe Hill.
I'm looking forward to the Curse Bells, too. The Plague Ships had to revisit much of the material in the original novel but the new story will be all new material. Can't wait!
Last edited by Gary_B; 06-12-2011 at 01:54 PM.
It was interesting seeing parts of the story from the novel drawn and it makes sense to introduce people who hadn't read the novel to Baltimore and his story. However I'm with Gary on looking forward to Curse Bells being a completely new story.
Also anyone who read the novel should check this book out. You won't be disappointed. It's another dark gothic tale that is extremely well written.
Fevre Dream by G.R.R. Martin
My copy arrived in the mail yesterday. It's a really nice volume. Also finished Baltimore, or, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire. It was not at all what I was expecting, which turned out to be a very good thing.
Got my copy last week... I wonder why they jumped straight to the HC instead of doing a softcover?
I think it's to make it match the look of the novel, so they seem to belong to the same set.
My copy of the hardcover came in the mail Saturday but I just got around to reading it today, and it was pretty fun. I think what I liked the most about it was that Mignola finally got to tell the fungus monster story that he's wanted to do since the Island, I smiled as soon as I saw the fungus growing from the ship as I immediately knew what was going to follow. I sincerely hope he got as big of a kick out of finally actualizing that story as I did.
On the whole, although it was a fun story I found that it lacked much of the complexity of the novel. While the novel had a variety perspectives and was largely character driven the Plague Ships was a rather straight forward action piece. It was fun but it never really made me pause and really think about what was happening in the way the Steadfast Tin Soldier did. Still, I really love the character and the world he lives in so I'm pretty excited to get my hands on the next collection.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An Oakland police officer shot by a man wanted on a parole violation was taken off life support after vital organs were removed for transplantation, a hospital spokeswoman said Tuesday.
The officer's death brings to five, counting the gunman, the number of people killed in Saturday's confrontation.
Officer John Hege was taken off life support Monday night and his heart, liver and kidneys were removed, said Andrea Breaux of Alameda County Medical Center.
The 41-year-old officer had been declared brain dead on Sunday but the hospital kept him on life support so his organs could be donated, in keeping with his wishes.
Four patients received the organs, she said.
Police said Hege and his partner, Sgt. Mark Dunakin, were gunned down when the two motorcycle officers pulled over parolee Lovelle Mixon on Saturday.
In the manhunt that followed, two more officers died when the city's SWAT team stormed an apartment where Mixon was hiding. The two officers who were killed at the apartment were Sgt. Ervin Romans, 43, and Sgt. Daniel Sakai, 35. Mixon also was killed.
"This is the biggest tragedy ever to hit our department," Oakland police Sgt. Mark Schmid said Monday. "We're just numb and walking around like zombies. We feel each other's pain but we don't know how to explain it."
Flowers piled up outside Oakland police headquarters. A vigil was planned for Tuesday evening at the corner near where the two motorcycle officers stopped Mixon.
The incident has prompted California's attorney general to call for better monitoring of parole violators.
DNA found at the scene of a February rape was a probable match to Mixon, Oakland police spokesman Jeff Thomason said Monday night.
Investigators got that information Friday, the day before the routine traffic stop ended in gunfire.
California prison records show that authorities had issued a warrant for Mixon's arrest after he missed a mandatory meeting with his parole officer on Feb. 19.
His family said Mixon, 26, had served six years in state prison for assault with a firearm during an armed robbery in San Francisco. More recently, he served several months in prison last year for a parole violation.
State Attorney General Jerry Brown said he will examine how Mixon was monitored following his release from prison in November. Mixon also was a suspect in a December 2007 murder but was never charged because of lack of evidence, officials said.
"Mixon was certainly a character that needed more supervision," said Brown, the former mayor of Oakland. "In Oakland, the highway patrol has an office there, sheriff and police. And all those agencies should have a list of the more dangerous, threatening parolees so they can keep a watch on them."
Mixon was one of 164 Oakland parolees in mid-March who had outstanding arrest warrants for parole violations, state prison records show.
The city of 400,000 residents had more than 1,900 total parolees at the time, including nearly 300 who had been returned to custody or whose parole was about to be revoked.
During traffic stops, police often check vehicle records to find whether the driver has outstanding warrants. But police have not disclosed how Saturday's shooting unfolded.
Mixon's family members said he was upset that he was unable to find work, felt his parole officer was not helping him and feared he would be arrested for a parole violation.
State prison officials said Mixon's parole officer was responsible for 70 parolees. A caseload of that size is nearly unmanageable, but not unusual, said Lance Corcoran, spokesman for California's prison guard union, which includes parole officers.
"There is no control," Corcoran said. "It's simply supervision, and supervision at distance."

Finding Joy!
I remember having great parties as a kid, usually involving the pool or some form of roller skating( yes i said roller skating not rollerblading) type party. Then at some point you become too old for parties and as the numbers increase celebrating just isn't something you feel like doing.
I know for me i always expect my family to do something wonderful for me. I dream every year that my husband is going to plan the grandest of days starting with breakfast in bed as my children all look at me adoringly dressed and bathed in perfect matching outfits wishing me a "Happy Birthday Mommy Dearest"! This has yet to happen, and honestly they haven't even come close. I count my blessings when my husband actually remembers its my Birthday and quietly slips away in the early morning to grap a card from whatever store is open.
This year has been an unbelievably hard year for me and i knew i wanted to celebrate how good i now feel. I wanted to celebrate being alive. When sickness has brushed past you things like age and and the years tacking on become less important and a celebration becomes a top priority.
The great Lubavitcher Rebbe really pushed the custom of celebrating a birthday he said it was a day of renewal a time to reflect and choose what you want to better in the next year, a time to think of others and give extra charity, and most importantly a Birthday should be celebrated. I always followed this custom and with my kids, but why not me?
I invited about 50 of my closest friends and we all squished into my house. We ate large quantities of sugar and drank some sweet wine. We schmoozed, sang a little, said L'chaim, and just plain celebrated.
Its funny how being sick can change such basic things in your life, yet they are so simple and easy to change. I feel like this is my message now.
Why do you have to be sick to live life to the fullest to enjoy every tiny little itty bitty moment? Life is worth living and Birthdays are worth celebrating no matter the age.
I hope everyone, in this time of sadness for the Jewish people , as we morn the destruction of our Holy Beis HaMikdash, find the Simcha, the joy, that is often concealed in life. Celebrate, enjoy, connect, be happy, and everyday will feel like your Birthday!

Why cannot I live where you do????? Such a great celebration. And, fwiw, I am going to take the Rebbe's words on celebrating birthday's to heart. I don't "celebrate" mine and would rather not at all. BUT those words...their message just hit me. I shall celebrate next year; I promise.
LOVE YOU!!!!! Such great pictures. - August 5, 2011 at 9:39 AM

Hey AOS, over the past few months, my cofounder Jason and I have been trying to figure out how to exactly launch Ramamia, our family sharing app.
Link here: http://staging.ramamia.com
We've been in beta for a number of months and this is our kind of final product. At first, we were going to go for a premium model, as in: the only plan we have is a $40 a year or $5 a month plan, with a 21-day free trial.
We're not sure how we will generate steady incoming traffic. So I thought--why not use free as a marketing tool? So thus--freemium.
We're just not sure about how we are going to generate a stream of incoming traffic for our app, which is a big problem. Should we go freemium or stick with premium?
Keep in mind... with a freemium model, we'd restrict a number of things like # of photos per month, remove video functionality, etc. but there will be still a lower conversion rate to prem... though we might get more leads from 'free' valprop.

How far should I walk my dog?I want to make sure my dog gets enough exercise, but I don't want to overexert him. How long should a good walk be for a dog? Does it depend on the dog's size?
There is not one single right answer to this question. Some dogs will do fine with a two-block walk, while others can go two miles. A good rule of thumb is that the shorter the dog's legs, the less distance he can go. Smaller dogs, like pugs or toys, won't be able to go as far as large dogs, like golden retrievers. A dog's breed is important as well. Short-legged breeds, like bulldogs and daschunds, won't be able to walk as far as breeds with longer-legged builds. The walking environment is also a factor. Hot weather will not only make a dog more prone to overheating, but it can heat cement up enough that it could be painful for your dog's paws. Dogs can also walk farther on dirt trails than on sidewalks or asphalt, because rough concrete can be hard on the pads of their feet.
Your dog's age and general health are important as well. If your dog doesn't usually get much exercise, you won't want to start him off with a three-mile jog. Gradually extend the length of your walks to build his endurance. Arthritis, heart disease, and a number of other health concerns could also affect the length of your walks. If your dog has health problems, discuss how far he can walk and how much exercise he should get with your veterinarian.
In the long run, your best bet is to observe your dog while you're walking. When he starts panting excessively and acts tired, then he's walked far enough. This is also a good way to keep an eye on your dog's health. If he used to go three miles with you and now only walks a few blocks, you should consult your veterinarian. It could be a sign of a health problem.

Forums >Health and Nutrition>chafe chafe - ouch!
alright. I found a completely new place to chafe. Seems my shirt seam (or the cut of the armscye (armhole)) was not great - though this is certainly not the first time I've worn the shirt running - anyhow, I appear to have developed chafe points on my upper inner arm. Someone please, tell me it's not just me Perhaps a silly question, but any tips for post run showerdown when dealing with chafed bits? I always just hop in and soap down but boy, do the chafed parts burn!!
Roads were made for journeys...
Needs more cowbell!
Two words: BODY GLIDE. Buy yourself a stick of Body Glide and you'll never chafe again. Not even a little. And yes, I plan to buy stock in the company. http://www.bodyglide.com/

Given that Christmas has grown to be a nearly $400 billion spending spree here in the U.S., I sometimes think that Ebenezer Scrooge should have stuck to his guns and ignored those three spirits who visited him on Christmas Eve.
According to a recent Gallup Poll, this holiday season, the average American adult expects to spend about $700 on gifts alone. At the very least, with the economy still tipsy from too many eggnogs, a little temperance seems to be in order this gift-giving season. Who knows, a simpler, less materialistic holiday might just be a more memorable and enjoyable one, too.
So how do you have that potentially awkward conversation with family and friends? You know, the one where you broach the subject of maybe cutting back on gift giving, or even entirely forgoing a gift exchange this year?
The important thing is to have the talk --- don't be shy. With friends and family you don't see that often, a thoughtful letter or even an email suggesting that maybe it's time to take a different approach to gift giving is perfectly acceptable, according to Peggy Post. She's the great-granddaughter-in-law of etiquette queen Emily Post and a director at the Emily Post Institute.
"As long as you do it politely, directly, and sincerely, many times others will thank you for starting the conversation," Post says.
Many families cap holiday gift giving by setting -- and sticking to -- a maximum amount per gift, and/or giving gifts only to children under a certain age. In addition to a strict $20 spending cap, in our family nieces and nephews no longer receive gifts once they reach age 18, but they then become part of the Secret Santa plan for adults. That's where we all draw names ahead of time and buy a gift for one other adult family member, so we all have something to open on Christmas.
And if you've fallen into the habit of exchanging gifts with adult friends and colleagues, can't you simply agree that it's a habit in need of breaking? What about just exchanging holiday cards instead?
Here are some other creative gift exchange ideas that let you stretch both the fun and the dollars:
* The $1 Store Gift Exchange: If it's truly the thought that counts, then set a spending limit of a single sawbuck and see how creative everyone can get at the $1 store.
* The Re-gift Exchange: Agree to wrap up something you already own and give it to someone who will appreciate it. Remember: It's only re-gifting if you believe it's re-gifting (or, in the case of intimate apparel, if you've worn it more than once).
* The Handmade Gift Exchange: All gifts must be made by the giver, be it a birdhouse, fruitcake, poem, etc.
* The Old Photo Gift Exchange: What more cherished -- and inexpensive -- gift is there than an old family photo? Get up there in the attic and see what you can find!
* The Charity Gift Exchange: Don't you already have everything you need? Many are not as fortunate, so agree to make a contribution to a charity rather than exchange gifts.
* The Tackiest Gift Exchange: Keep it cheap -- and fun -- by seeing who can give the tackiest gift for under $5. (You can even put on your tacky Christmas sweaters when you do the exchange!)
* The Gift of Time Exchange: Exchange gift cards for your time. Recipients redeem them and have you do anything from wash their car, give them a massage, or volunteer your time to a charity of their choice.
* The Baked Goods Gift Exchange: It doesn't qualify unless you baked it yourself.
* The Talent Show Gift Exchange: Give a gift of free entertainment by performing your "special talent" before a gathering of family or friends. (Did you know that I can recite The Night before Christmas while standing on my head?)
So don't be bashful about proposing a "gift-lite" holiday season to your family and friends this year. As Dr. Seuss wrote in How the Grinch Stole Christmas:
"And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before!
'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store.
Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more!'"

Rotator-cuff disease is a common cause of shoulder pain in both young adults (athletes in particular) and the elderly. The cause can be acute or repetitive chronic trauma to the rotator-cuff tendons; in the older age group, degenerative changes are common and can contribute to rotator-cuff injury. Conventional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and MR arthrography have become the standard for the noninvasive imaging assessment of shoulder pain. A high degree of sensitivity and specificity in the detection of rotator-cuff tears is achievable with conventional MR imaging. Moreover, MR arthrography can demonstrate an even higher degree of accuracy in the assessment of the rotator injuries and is helpful in the detection of partial-thickness tears, which become more conspicuous following intra-articular contrast injection. If rotator-cuff disease is not detected and treated early, significant loss of shoulder function and range of motion can occur. Therefore, recognizing cuff injury as well as its specific site of occurrence, size, and extent, are a few of the important factors for determining the best outcome for the patient. We present a review of the MR findings of rotator-cuff pathology through a series of images and illustrations.
The rotator cuff is comprised of four tendons, easily recalled with the mnemonic "SITS," which stands for supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis. These four tendons interdigitate distally to form a tendinous hood at their insertions onto the tuberosities of the humerus. The supraspinatus tendon lies between the acromial undersurface and the top of the humeral head. The critical zone of avascularity is located 1 to 2 cm proximal to the tendinous insertion at the superior impression of the humeral head and is the most common site for tears. The supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor tendons attach to the greater tubercle from superiorly to inferiorly, respectively. The subscapularis inserts onto the lesser tubercle. The coracoacromial arch is bordered posteriorly by the humeral head, superiorly by the acromion and coracoacromial ligament, and anteriorly by the coracoid process and intervening coracoacromial ligament. Located within the coracoacromial arch are the subacromial/subdeltoid bursa, supraspinatus muscle and tendon, and the long head of the biceps tendon.
The muscles of the rotator cuff each have well-defined functions. The supraspinatus abducts the humerus. The infraspinatus and teres minor collaborate to externally rotate the humerus. The function of the subscapularis is to internally rotate the humerus. Figure 1 demonstrates the important anatomic relationships of the rotator-cuff tendons and muscles.
Surface coils are necessary for high-resolution images. There are two basic types of shoulder surface coils: 1) coils that conform to the shoulder; and 2) coils that are mounted on a platform. A combination of coils may also be used. For example, a flexible coil that conforms to the patient's shoulder may be used when the patient is in the abducted and externally rotated (ABER) position, and a platform coil may be used to perform the remainder of the exam. One of the main disadvantages of the flexible or curved coil is its susceptibility to artifact secondary to patient motion. The platform coil, on the other hand, provides a high signal-to-noise ratio but does not allow imaging in the ABER position. The imaging protocol involves scanning a supine patient with mild external rotation of the humerus or with the patient's thumbs pointing toward the ceiling. Imaging is obtained with thin 3- to 4-mm slices in three planes: coronal oblique, sagittal oblique, and axial. The actual imaging sequences can vary from institution to institution, but the majority of shoulder MR imaging usually invloves at least a fat-saturated fast-spin-echo (FSE) sequence. The coronal oblique plane of imaging should be perpendicular to the glenoid fossa or parallel to the supraspinatus tendon. The sagittal oblique images should be parallel to the glenoid fossa, from the scapular neck through the lateral aspect of the rotator cuff. The axial images are performed from just above the acromioclavicular joint through the inferior axillary recess.
In 95% of cases of rotator-cuff pathology, injury is preceded by subacromial impingement syndrome, which is a purely clinical diagnosis defined as a painful compression, in an awake patient, of the supraspinatus tendon, subacromial/subdeltoid bursa, and long head of the biceps tendon between the coracoacromial arch and the humeral head. Pain is usually progressive and aggravated by raising the arm in a position of abduction and external or internal rotation. 1 Impingement syndrome commonly occurs in patients under the age of 40 and is usually secondary to repetitive elevation and abduction of the arm during occupational or athletic activities; it also commonly occurs in the elderly as a result of subacromial osteophyte formation and other degenerative changes around the acromial-clavicular joint and coracoacromial arch. Predisposing factors include certain acromial shapes, slopes, and positions (Figures 2A through 2E, Table 1); presence of an os acromiale (Figure 2F); acromioclavicular joint degenerative and hypertrophic changes (Figure 2G); chronic glenohumeral joint instability resulting in degenerative changes (Figure 3A); a thickened coracoacromial ligament (Figure 3B); supraspinatus muscle hypertrophy (Figure 3C); posttraumatic deformities; calcific tendonitis (Figure 3D); a prominent greater tuberosity; and posterior superior glenoid impingement. The supraspinatus tendon is by far the most frequently injured rotator-cuff tendon, largely because of its more superior location relative to the other rotator-cuff tendons, resulting in its closer proximity to the acromion and distal clavicle, two common offending agents. The severity of impingement is directly related to rotator-cuff degeneration or tears. The diagnosis of "impingement syndrome" cannot be made with MR imaging, but is inferred from narrowing of the acromiohumeral distance or stenosis of the supraspinatous outlet.
MR imaging, with its excellent soft-tissue contrast and multiplanar capability, is the imaging study of choice for the evaluation of the painful shoulder. Normally, the uninjured rotator-cuff tendon shows uniform low signal intensity. Any deviation from this MR appearance is suspicious for pathology. There are four major types of tendon pathology: 1) tendonapathy or tendinosis; 2) surface degeneration or fraying; 3) partial-thickness tear; and 4) full-thickness tear. Early collagen fiber breakdown within a tendon is termed tendonapathy or tendinosis and is an early sign of impingement. Use of the term tendonitis should be avoided, as there is no histologic evidence of significant inflammation. MR imaging characteristics of tendonapathy include intermediate signal intensity (higher signal than normal tendon, but lower than joint fluid) on T1-weighted (T1W) imaging, proton-densityweighted (PDW) imaging, and T2-weighted (T2W) imaging, without focal tendon disruption (Figures 4A and B). The signal intensity on T2W images is equal to or higher than that on T1W images, but should be less than joint fluid signal. Tendon enlargement is often an associated finding in tendonapathy. 2 Histological examination of tendinopathy shows mucoid and fibrillary degeneration, with evidence of scarring.
Tendon surface degeneration or fraying is an irregularity of the tendon surface that is more common on the bursal side (Figure 4C) and is often associated with increased signal in the subacromial/ subdeltoid bursa. It is important, especially in athletes, to be able to distinguish these injuries from partial tears, as the latter can be surgically repaired for restoration of function. However, making this distinction can often be difficult on conventional MR imaging due to the magic-angle effect, focal fat, muscle fibers, or subclinical degeneration. 3,4 The addition of frequency selective fat-suppression technique improves the detection of rotator-cuff tears. The use of gadolinium-DPTA in MR arthrography to distend the joint is useful in revealing small undersurface or articular surface abnormalities of the supraspinatus tendon. 5 To further improve detection of undersurface abnormalities, the ABER position can be used to increase the separation of the supraspinatus tendon from the humeral head and encourage spreading of any torn and frayed edges, thereby increasing the visibility of the tear. 6
The characteristics of partial-thickness tears on MR imaging are focally increased signal on T1W and T2W images (signal intensity similar to that of joint fluid on T2W images), with involvement of either the articular (Figure 5A) or bursal tendon surface or intrasubstance of the supraspinatus tendon (Figure 5B). 7 Partial-thickness tears can be graded according to the depth of the tear.
On MR imaging, a full-thickness tear of a tendon has the appearance of high signal involvement of the tendon, usually extending vertically or obliquely from the articular to the bursal surface (Figure 6A). Conventional MR imaging has a sensitivity of 92% to 96% for the detection of full-thickness tears. 8 A complete tear or rupture is complete disruption of the entire tendon, leaving a fluid-filled gap separating the torn tendinous ends, usually with medial retraction of the torn tendon as a secondary sign (Figure 6B). The Patte classification is frequently used to describe and communicate the degree of tendon retraction in complete tears (Figure 7, Table 2). 9 Over time, atrophy and fatty infiltration of the associated muscle develop and can be a useful secondary sign of chronic rotator-cuff tears (Figure 8). Subacromial/subdeltoid bursal fluid is a sensitive but relatively nonspecific finding in rotator-cuff tears. 10 Unlike injuries of the supraspinatus tendon, subscapularis tendon tears (Figure 9) are relatively uncommon and typically present in elderly patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. They often occur in conjunction with other rotator-cuff injuries. Isolated subscapularis tendon tears are less common but can result from trauma, eccentric overload, or rotator-cuff degenerative disease. Primary signs of a tear may be limited to the upper third of the tendon. 11 Other reported causes of subscapularis injury include long head of the biceps tendon dislocation, massive rotator-cuff tears, and subcoracoid impingement (congenital or posttraumatic/postsurgical). Tears of the infraspinatus tendon (Figure 10) are relatively common; only tears of the supraspinatus tendon are more common. The pathogenesis and mechanism of tendon injury is similar to that of the supraspinatus tendon, and concomitant tears of these two tendons form the most common combination when tears of more than one tendon are present. Tears of the teres minor tendon are rare, particularly in isolation.
It is important to be cognizant of an artificial high signal appearance within the supraspinatus tendon known as the magic-angle phenomenon, which usually occurs at the critical zone of the supraspinatus tendon and can mimic tendon pathology. A useful discriminator between the magic-angle phenomenon and a true tendon tear is the appearance of high signal intensity on T2W imaging, indicative of a true tear. In contrast, the increased signal of the magic-angle phenomenon seen on T1W images remains isointense to the adjacent muscle or does not increase in signal intensity on T2W images.
Surprising findings have occurred in asymptomatic patients who undergo shoulder MR imaging. Rotator-cuff tears have been reported in 34% of asymptomatic patients. 12 It has been noted that the frequency of tears increases with age, with partial-thickness tears being more common than full-thickness tears. It is important to be aware that MR imaging findings may not correlate with the patient's symptoms.
The long head of the biceps tendon stabilizes the anterosuperior portion of the rotator cuff by its position in the bicipital groove anteriorly and its attachment to the glenoid labrum superiorly. Tears of the subscapularis tendon in particular have been associated with medial subluxation or dislocation of the biceps tendon or tendonopathy. 13 The biceps tendon is also frequently injured (Figure 11) in association with the tears of the superior and anterior portions of the rotator cuff. When tears of the supraspinatus and subscapularis tendons are detected, specific attention should be directed to the condition of the long head of the biceps tendon. 14
Rotator-cuff injuries are a common cause of shoulder pain. Conventional MR imaging provides high accuracy in the detection of rotator-cuff tears. MR arthrography demonstrates even higher accuracy, but is invasive to some degree and is used more often when there is evidence of glenohumeral instability. This pictorial review should help to familiarize radiologists and clinicians with characteristic MR findings of rotator-cuff pathology.

Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to be a safe and effective alternative treatment for pain and injury.
Chiropractors perform 95 percent of all adjustments in the world to correct the subluxations, or misalignments, of the vertebrae in the spine. Chiropractic adjustments are performed by applying gentle, yet firm pressure to a bone. The goal of any adjustment is to restore the bone to its natural, or original, position. The important thing to remember is the act the adjustment frees—not forces—a vertebra to allow it to find its natural position. This is accomplished by the body's innate intelligence.
Chiropractic adjustments are performed to treat a wide variety of conditions, including (but not limited to):
Adjustments can be performed while sitting, standing, or lying down. Some adjustments involve special instruments or tables.
Some common adjustment techniques include:
Chiropractors take many factors—including size, weight, and muscle structure—into consideration when deciding on which adjustment to make. Sometimes, ice, electrical stimulation, or massage therapy (including traction massage) are used prior to a spinal manipulation in order to relax the muscles.
In some cases, it may necessary to perform an adjustment while you are sedated.
Spinal manipulation under anesthesia, which is considered a very safe procedure, is usually reserved for patients with conditions such as chronic neck, back, and joint pain, muscle spasm, shortened muscles, and fibrous adhesions.
Another form of adjustment called craniosacral therapy, or "CST," involves exerting very mild pressure to the body's craniosacral system, which is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This includes cranium—which is composed of the skull, face and mouth, and the "sacrum," or tailbone.
CST has been shown to provide relief from chronic neck and back pain, scoliosis, brain and spinal cord injuries, migraines, chronic fatigue, nervous system disorders, jaw joint problems, and stress disorders. (Conditions such as aneurysm and intracranial hemorrhage prohibit this kind of therapy.)
Adjustments almost always do not involve any pain or discomfort. The important thing for a patient to keep in mind is to remain relaxed, because stiffening up may impede the adjustment process. Popping sounds are sometimes heard during adjustments; these are usually pockets of air being released behind a joint or other bony structure.
Adjustments can leave you with a greater sense of well-being, calm, and most importantly, on the road to a life without pain. Following an adjustment, some patients experience mild aching or soreness in their spinal joints or muscles, which can usually be relieved by an ice or heat pack.
Adjustments have been shown to:

A very nice hotel. However, DO NOT plan on driving a car there. Parking in the hotel carpark is limited and the garage is about 150 metres from the hotel. To get there from the hotel requires a 10 - 15 minute complicated drive around part of the city and if you miss the garage - and that is easily done - around you go again.

As others have noted before, the only real drawback to this hotel is noise from adjoining rooms (something to do with the ceramic floors and bare wood?) and from the street outside. The location also isn't the most salubrious, but it is pretty central. The option of breakfast might have been nice (though churros in local cafes were an excellent way to start the day). An English language channel on the TV would also have been good, but who wants to spend time in their hotel room when the tapas bars of Granada beckon! Overall, an excellent, good value choice.
