Read online articles, seen Dr.s, Physical Therapist, and now trying chiropractic. Hurts worse after extended or multiple surf sessions. Anyone experience a neck related injury? If so what have you done (exercises etc.) to function normally, if that\\'s possible.

Clark Craycroft, abstract from History of Jasper County Missouri
1883 — Joplin, Missouri
"Graduating from the University of Missouri in 1871, Mr. Craycroft was desirous of getting into business or adopting a profession. He was asked to accompany a friend of his from Cooper County who had inherited a farm in Jasper County, near the present sight of Carl Junction, who was going to visit the place. Five days were spent in the trip from Cooper County, and they arrived at the farm in August. At that time Mr. Craycroft had never heard of Joplin.
"He walked along Center creek prairie where he came to the old Manlove ford and, taking off his shoes and stockings, waded across the creek and came out in the woods south of the stream, walking south half a mile or so. Reaching the prairie between Center and Turkey creeks, partly from curiosity and partly because he thought he could scare up a turkey, he crossed it and came to Turkey creek. He crossed it and then made his way up the valley, now Sunshine Hollow, and there discovered Joplin, which at that time was in the Joplin creek valley.
"He walked up through the mines and met John B. Sergeant at the old shaft where he and Mr. Moffet had first struck lead. He little dreamed that he would be the son-in-law of the mining king.
"Desirous of finding a place to get his dinner, he inquires of Mr. Sergeant who told him that Mr. "Money-maker" was building a restaurant and bakery up the hill. When he arrived at this place he found that the building had not yet been completed, or the furniture in place (two carpenters were then working on the building, one shingling the roof and the other making a table), and was informed that if he would wait awhile he could be served, as one of the tables was almost completed. When the table was finished, Mr. Craycroft drew up a chair, sat down and ate the first meal to be served in the eating-house, which for twenty years after occupied a prominent place in Joplin history.
"The mining camp made such an impression on Mr. Craycroft that, after having read law and been admitted to the bar, he returned, arriving here a second time in April, 1875.
"On his second visit Mr. Craycroft came to Joplin with $4.65 in his pockets. His library consisted of two books, and he possessed, in addition, a silk hat and a long-tailed coat. He lost the hat in Shoal creek while saving a friend from drowning."

The NSW government is blocking the amount of water the federal government can buy as part of its Murray Darling Basin plan.
Primary Industries Minister Katrina Hodgkinson on Tuesday announced NSW would cap the purchase of water licences for environmental purposes.
"The NSW government will not stand by and allow the commonwealth to take the lazy option which removes water from productive purposes in NSW," she said.
Ms Hodgkinson last year threatened to block the implementation of the plan if federal Labor did not limit buybacks to three per cent of entitlement per valley per decade.
At the time, she warned that NSW was the biggest player in the scheme and that without the state's support the basin plan would stall.
"We tried to work collaboratively with the commonwealth to find strategies that will improve water use efficiency, allow basin communities to adjust, and make water available for environmental flows, however NSW has been brushed aside," Ms Hodgkinson said on Tuesday.
"So the NSW government has been forced to act.
"From today, further water purchases for the environment will be restricted to three per cent per valley per decade."
This means that once the three per cent limit is reached in a valley no more purchases for environmental purposes will be approved and processed by NSW.
Ms Hodgkinson said this was a more sustainable rate of purchase, providing "much needed breathing space and time" for rural economies to adjust".
"The commonwealth has ignored our legitimate concerns, and has expected us to sign up and trust them, which is dangerously short sighted," she added.
The cap has no impact on trade for consumptive purposes, licence transfers that are part of an infrastructure project or temporary trades of allocation water, Ms Hodgkinson said.
The Labor government's plan sets aside 2750 gigalitres a year to revive the Murray Darling river system by 2019 and a further 450 billion by 2024.

Boomers are leaving the workforce in droves. Given how lousy the economy has been the last few years, I found this a surprising retirement planning phenomenon. My guess would have been that most people would look at their diminished savings and conclude, given the continuing economic uncertainty, to stay on the job. But according to a new MetLife survey, that's just not the way it is.
MetLife found that 45 percent of 65-year-old boomers are now fully retired, up from 19 percent in 2008. Another 14 percent say they are officially retired but working part time or seasonally.
Of those people older than 65 and still working, about 50 percent anticipate being able to retire before they turn 70 years old, with 37 percent saying they plan to retire in 2012. On average, these respondents say they hope to retire by age 68.5.
The chart below explains people's reasons for the decision they made to retire early or late. It doesn't reflect the biggest reason people cited for retiring no matter when they did it -- 36 percent said they'd reached retirement age, and they wanted to quit. Another 18 percent said they hung up their work boots for health reasons. Only 6 percent said they'd lost their jobs and couldn't find another. Fewer than 2 percent are job hunting.
Overall, very few retirees had regrets. Some 70 percent of those who are already retired say they like retirement "a lot," while another 20 percent say they like it "somewhat."
My husband will turn 66 in June, and he's still working -- hard. I worry that he's missing out on some great years when he could have the freedom and good health to enjoy new experiences and challenges without the pressure of a high-stress job. When I bring this up, he says he likes the job, he likes the money, and he doesn't know what else he'd do all day.
If you're a 65- or 66-year-old boomer who is still on the job, how do you feel about being in the workforce?

WWE Raw 7-22-13 Hits and Misses
by, 07-22-2013 at 11:00 PM (5377 Views)
Overall Score: 7
WWE Championship Match Contract Signing: It was very interesting to see this open up the show. Usually contract signings for major titles are used for the ending. With that being said this was a pretty good segment. The way Cena built up Bryan was fantastic and his reason for picking him made sense. The ending of the segment was a little weird with the Raw music hitting and them standing around but that won't make this a miss.
Alberto Del Rio vs. Sheamus: Was that bruise on Sheamus' leg real or did the make up department put that on? Either way, it looked very disgusting. This match was very well done. These two in the ring together have great chemistry and put on above average matches when they meet. The ending was a little dumb for me with Sheamus' leg giving out and Del Rio getting the roll up pin but it made sense to have Del Rio go over a guy like Sheamus who could face him for the World Title at Summerslam.
Darren Young vs. Dolph Ziggler: This match was actually really good in my opinion. A couple nearfalls and big moves for Darren made it more than a filler match that I thought it would be. The real reason I give this a hit though is because Ziggler finally is getting the face reaction the WWE wants him to have. Also it's good to see Ziggler not get destroyed by Big E. every week leading up to their match at Summerslam.
Fandango vs. Cody Rhodes: Pretty much just a squash match for Cody Rhodes but I think his performance in the match was great. It showcased his talent and he even got some sort of face reaction when he came out. I liked the ending with him using Sandow's briefcase to help win. It was just kind of cool too me.
CM Punk Promo: Very solid promo from Punk here. With Heyman getting the majority of the time to speak last week it was good to see Punk get the majority here to respond. I'm glad Punk isn't taking the Triple H route by squashing Lesnar as a monster and putting him down. Sure, Punk may not be afraid of Lesnar but he still builds him up like a monster and someone who can kick ass. I'm very much looking forward to this match at Summerslam. I will say that I think it was a dumb move for WWE to pair Curtis Axel up with Paul Heyman or since they did, bring him up this early. I say that because everybody knew this feud would take place this summer so Curtis Axel is just getting lost in the shuffle and left off TV.
Daniel Bryan's Gauntlet Match: The only match I didn't like from the three was the Jack Swagger match. It was just too short. I can't believe how much offense and how long the match with Cesaro went. It really made Cesaro look like money. Well, Bryan does that to everybody. The match with Ryback was good. Not great, but good. I guess they're turning Ryback's character into someone who injures people? I don't know. The ending with John Cena was a little weird though. I thought they were setting up the dark match because the dark match for the last couple months has been John Cena vs. Ryback in a tables match. I guess to summarize, good segment that showcased Bryan as someone who is a threat to Cena's title reign.
Christian vs. Titus O'Neil: Even though I liked that the match went pretty long unlike your standard filler match and that O'Neil got some good offense in, it was still a filler match with no purpose. Well I guess the purpose was to keep playing up Christian because maybe they'll have him feud with Del Rio for the title. Then again, the way it's looking is Del Rio vs. RVD vs. Sheamus vs. Christian at Summerslam. I know I gave Darren Young's match a hit but Ziggler's just a better wrestler than Christian and that match served a purpose.
Mark Henry Promo: Call me crazy but I didn't like this segment at all. Most of you will disagree but here's what I saw. This always happens with a Shield attack. They attack someone one week, the next week the guy calls them out, then the guy gets backup and they take out The Shield. And even though The Shield have been limited to Six Man action, it just doesn't effect me when they attack someone like it did before. I think it's because the coolness of the attack has gone away since their win streak was broken months ago. It just seems repetitive and stale too me now.
Miz TV: I know this served a purpose in giving the hard sell for fans to watch Total Divas this weekend but I just didn't like it. The Miz annoys me and I don't know who JoJo and whatever the red head chicks name is are. I mean don't get me wrong, I probably will watch Total Divas because I'm a sucker for anything to do with the backstage view of WWE, but this segment was just a miss.
Rob Van Dam vs. Wade Barrett: This was just a filler match to showcase RVD's talent so it didn't intrigue me. It's like the Christian match where it was a filler match but not a filler squash match but still didn't serve a purpose. Well the purpose is probably to have RVD keep gaining momentum for probably that Fatal Four Way match at Summerslam I proposed but still.
No Big Show or Wyatt Family: I put this one in after I wrote the summary so for the description of this miss read the summary. I just didn't want to rewrite what I already wrote.
Overall, not that bad of a show. It was a come down show from last weeks, but it didn't come down a significant level like most Raw's do. The buildup to the three proposed matches of Cena-Bryan, Ziggler-Langston, and Punk-Lesnar were well done and keeps making me want to see all three of them. The only thing that took away from this show was the bad hype it got. What I mean is that WWE.com and other various wrestling sites hyped up Vince coming back to WWE TV this week after a one week vacation and that didn't live up to it. The match he proposed next week of Kane and Daniel Bryan is fine because it sets up Kane's return, but when you hype that up he should probably be on more than 3 minutes. The other example is: where was the Big Show? A lot of hype for his comeback this week on Raw and he never showed up. Stupid move WWE. I also didn't like that The Wyatt Family wasn't on. They're starting to become a hot act and you just recap what they did instead of having Bray make a promo? With that being said, still a good show but they just hyped too much and delivered too little of that hype tonight.
Thank you for reading. Comment below with your thoughts, what you agree on, and where you think I lost my mind. See you all next week! Oh and if you liked this blog, don't be afraid to rate it!

i posted this is another thread, because i have to question something...Originally Posted by me in another thread
how the hell are we supposed to get to draenor BEFORE the dark portal is built? if we travel back in time i mean... we either have to time travel from outland, or we have to stargate wormhole our way through a sun. i don't think time travel is plausible, unless somehow someone punches a hole through the space time continuum.
continuing on from our current time-line, flying the exodar there might be a more plausible solution, it's either that or we build a second dark portal powered by jaina or something.
it's much more plausible imo, to visit the remnants of draenor - outland is essentially a piece of draenor and the rest is supposedly destroyed, but we don't know that for sure. the remnants of draenor could well be burning legion controlled and the launching point for the pending invasion
<insert witty signature here>
That being said, in a fantasy world - If you can make us travel through time on a whim you can probably zip us between planets as well, Dark Portal notwithstanding.

Arguing over the plausibility of time-paradoxes in a game that has talking werewolfs, orcs, goblins, dragons, spaceships, vikings, magic, elves, cow people, monkey people, fish people, fungus people, and tons of other stuff... is well, kind of pointless?
Relax! The game will be fun even if Stephen Hawking says this isn't possible.

What is tripping me up about this whole deal is that it is more than likely a time-travel expansion with another Hellscream as a main antagonist. People can say what they want about it, like it doesn't have to be that way or this or that. But my logic is if the 1 poster got the name right, why would he not get the info correct as well. 2 Orc centered expansion sounds cool to y'all? With time traveling where lore can literally not mean anything at all and possibly squash all the lore we have been invested in for years?
I do not care what the name the damn game just don't make it time travel and about Grom.. like at all.
Grommash "Grom" Hellscream was the chieftain of the Warsong clan, and best friend and chief advisor to Warchief Thrall. He was the first orc who drank the blood of Mannoroth the Destructor[1], thus binding the Horde to the Burning Legion — and he would eventually pay the ultimate price to free himself and his people from the curse.
I give this a plausible.
The light that burns twice as bright burns for half as long - and you have burned so very, very brightly.
so the bronze dragonflight don't have control over the entire space time continuum - so they can't space/time portal us there.
medivh, guardian of tirisfal, quite possibly the biggest badass mage on azeroth opened the dark portal - but it also required there to be another portal at the other end to receive this connection... so again, unless we're expected on draenor and there's a portal there just waiting for us to connect to, how the hell are we supposed to get there...
the exodar! didn't they leave draenor originally because they couldn't fight the armies of the legion? the might of the horde and alliance have already proved their ability to repel the burning legion and with the exodar fixed, why wouldn't they try to reclaim their homeland... shattered though it may be, surely they would want to liberate and cleanse their homeland.
it'd do a lot for the draenei lore tbh, they've not had much love

I'm just saying that potential time paradoxes do not invalidate this leak.

"Query? What do you think I'm here for, tea and biscuits? Spill the beans already!"
but seriously though, you wouldn't have to take a horde and alliance contingent. you could just send through a team of crack troops on a scouting mission, they then set up a dark portal V2 for us to connect to.
then the alliance and horde could use the "new" portal to get to draenor, without having to huddle up on a spaceship.

Factoid 2) Page 96 bottom left corner, middle of paragraph.
Sub-section is about the Exodar and it is in the Section about Prophet Velen.It has since been repaired, and is now fully capable of leaving Azeroth at any time.

Fanboy (Fanboi):
1. A term used towards someone when a person disagrees with the said someone on a subject, person, place, thing, company, or product line and they are not smart enough to debate their counterpoints or facts, so they resort to childish name calling in hopes of shaming others into silence and thus them winning through dominance.* 2. A term used as a taunt/peer pressure technique to shape popular opinion through shame and humiliation.
Here's another possibility that other people have brought up: If we are traveling through space on the Exodar, we are technically travelling on a ship from Draenor. What if, for example, we were going to wage war on Argus? We would be the Warlords of Draenor. We wouldn't even have to go to Draenor.
Chew on that for a bit. Haha.

"Query? What do you think I'm here for, tea and biscuits? Spill the beans already!"
after the fall of deathwing all the Dragon Aspects were diminished, but they are all still very powerful (just not immortal demi-gods anymore)
because of this, the bronzeflight can still manipulate time a little bit, but can not really see what's going on in the timeways anymore
this is explained more or less on the Timeless isle.
the bronzeflight's visions of the past and future are blurred, and they need help from humanoids like us to gather materials to amplify their time-wimey magiks. and they also need our help to do timey-wimey... stuff.
When someone asks you if you're a god, YOU SAY 'YES'!

Netatalk seems to always have some issue with OS X. Why I still use little NAS boxes for this that and the other is beyond me. I got stuck dealing with this for a little while and if you're using Netatalk w/ a DHCAST128 UAM you probably will too. For more on DHCAST see the Netatalk page on UAM support. Kerberos and DHX2 are arguably better, but I've found they don't always work right on some of my NAS boxes.
This wasn't just a quick defaults command as it was in previous instances. It's not much of a script but the following should fix it if you're having this issue like I was.
/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
/bin/sleep 60
/usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0″ "2-Way Randnum exchange"
I had to reboot on one of my machines after this but on the others I didn't. Hope it helps someone else…
And if you want to go back to the way things were before, simply remove com.AppleShareClient.plist from /Library/Preferences (w/ sudo):
rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient.plist

PHILADELPHIA – After a huge win over Dartmouth on Saturday, the University of Pennsylvania women's soccer team sits alone in second place in the Ivy League standings with the second half of the conference season still to play. Before that, though, the Quakers go out of conference one final time on Tuesday night at NJIT. Penn and the Highlanders will kick off at 7 p.m.
The Series with NJIT
This marks the third straight year the Quakers and Highlanders have met, but this is the first one at NJIT. Penn won 8-0 two years ago at Rhodes Field, and 4-0 last year in Philadelphia.
About NJIT
The Highlanders (6-9-0) enter Tuesday's match with a two-match win streak, both of them coming over South Carolina State, 3-1 and 1-0. They have played two other Ivy League teams this season, losing to Cornell and Columbia. Four guys have scored twice this season: Rebecca Tustin, Kaelyn Gamel, Megan Dellavalle and Abi Fakolujo. Tustin also has three assists. In goal, Samantha Bersett has a 1.87 goals-against average and a .728 save percentage.
About Penn
*At 9-1-3, Penn is making history. Using the formula of three points for a win and one for a tie, the Quakers have 30 of a possible 39 points this season. The only other Penn teams that had 30 points or more at the 13-match mark were 2011 (11-2-0/33 points), 2007 (10-2-1/31) and 2001 (10-1-2/32).
*In addition, this is only the second time that Penn has had just one loss at this point in the season, the other being 2001 (10-1-2).
*Penn's .808 win percentage so far this season is 19th nationally.
*Penn is 36-10-7 over its last 53 matches dating back to the 2010 season. In those 53 matches, Penn has more shutouts (33) than goals allowed (31).
*Penn enters Tuesday's match with a shutout streak of 531:48, dating back to a 1-1 tie with Lehigh on Sept. 29.
*Penn was the last team in NCAA Division I to allow a goal this season, as Old Dominion finally dented the Quakers' net on September 22, and has allowed just five goals in 13 matches.
*Penn entered the week leading the nation in shutout percentage (10 of 13, .769) and second in goals-against average (0.36) behind only UCLA. Two years ago, the Quakersled the nation in shutout percentage (13 in 17 matches) and allowed just seven goals all season.
*Never mind keeping teams off the scoresheet; Penn just isn't giving teams many chances to score. The Quakers have outshot their opponents by a whopping 181-92 so far this season, and Quaker goalies Kalijah Terilli and Katherine Myhre have been called upon just 30 times to make saves (Terilli 22, Myhre 8).
*Junior Megan York had Penn's goal against Dartmouth, her third tally this season. She also has two assists for eight points, tied for second on the team.
*Sophomore Erin Mikolai might have been the best player on the field in Saturday's win, and it was her shot that ended up at York's feet so Mikolai was credited with an assist. It was her second assist this season, she is tied with six teammates in that category.
*Penn's win last Monday at Navy was the program's 200th all-time (after the Dartmouth win, the program's all-time record is 201-143-39). Head Coach Darren Ambrose has been at the helm for 137 of those victories.
*The Navy win also guaranteed Penn a winning overall record for the 2013 season. The Quakers have finished above .500 every one of Coach Ambrose's 14 seasons.
*Kerry Scalora had Penn's goal at Navy, a penalty kick in overtime (her second PK goal this season). She leads Penn in every offensive category (5 goals, 3 assists, 13 points).
*Scalora enters the week with 15 career goals and 12 career assists for 42 career points.
*Penn has had 10 different players score its 22 goals this season.
*Penn has had one scoreless tie this year, and two others where goals were scored. In those two ties, the Quakers spotted the opposition their goals first (2 for ODU, 1 for Lehigh) before coming back to salvage the draw.
*Penn returns two women who earned All-Ivy honors last year, seniors Scalora (first-team forward) and Rano (second-team defender). Scalora was also the 2010 Ivy League and ECAC Rookie of the Year.
*Barth, meanwhile, was a second-team All-Ivy and second-team NSCAA all-region selection two years ago, as a sophomore.
Up Next...
Penn returns to Ivy League play on Saturday, hosting Yale at 5 p.m. That game will be the first half of a doubleheader at Rhodes Field, as the men host the Bulldogs at approximately 7:30 p.m.

Pope was greeted with a reception at the airport by many Muslim and Christian leaders and the King Abdullah of Jordan, who promotes peace in the Middle East and advances the dialog between Muslims and Christians. Pope said: "My visit to Jordan gives me a welcome opportunity to speak of my deep respect for the Muslim community " In response to that King Abdullah said: " We welcome your commitment to dispel the misconceptions and divisions that have harmed relations between Christians and Muslims ".

Shoes…shoes…and more shoes. Happy 4th of July!! The summer really is flying by isn't it? I hope you have a safe holiday! If you're not already taking advantage of all the sales today, I'll give you a little more "shoe fever." Here's Part II of my Nina Shoes visit in New York City.
These shoes are from their fall 2012 collection and they're not just special occasion styles either. They have a lot of fun designs for you and I even snapped a few accessories photos from their wedding collection. Ugh! I was is heaven that day! I was like a kid in a candy store…but I didn't get to take any sweets home. LOL!
And don't worry…part III is coming soon!

As many of you probably realise, the Tron Wiki's founder and original bureaucrat, Mr. Sinistar, has been absent for the past year. This creates a minor problem for the Tron Wiki, because administrative functions that should be available to at least one admin have been left beyond our grasp (or called in from Wikia Central should a major issue ever arise). My sysop level access is sufficient to handle the general day to day administration needs, but sometimes the hand of a bureaucrat is needed for more esoteric functions.
So this is a blog post to gauge opinion.
How would you guys feel if I took up the role of bureaucrat?

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert applauds Gabriel Agbonlahor
Paul Lambert has backed Gabriel Agbonlahor to play a key role in Aston Villa's fight for Premier League survival.
Last Updated: 03/04/13 9:53am
Agbonlahor endured a barren spell at the end of last season and the start of the new campaign, but he has recently clicked into form and netted four times since January.
He has always carried an attacking threat due to his pace and Villa boss Lambert has been pleased with his performances of late.
Lambert has other options at his disposal for the run-in and is confident his team can pull clear of the relegation zone in their remaining seven games.
Speaking about Agbonlahor, Lambert enthused: "I think he has been excellent.
"I think he's loving his football at the minute, is scoring quite regularly at the moment and when Gabby gets a run at you, there are not many people going to catch him.
"He is playing extremely well at the minute and if we can keep him, Charles N'Zogbia, Christian Benteke and Andreas Weimann fit we've got loads of options up front.
"The one thing that was lacking in his game was goals. His stats from that point of view up to the West Brom game weren't great.
"But what he does bring is genuine pace to the game and a threat. He has added goals and that's why he is enjoying it. He looks sharp in training."

Ok, so I'm recoding a site to be responsive but want the site to remain the same until about 500px or so. At the moment I am using max-width: 480px and max-width: 320px and everything is fine, but on the iPad it cuts off the corners (as it should with the stated in the HTML, but I don't want this). Is there anyway to have browsers ignore the 'initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1' until it reaches the 500 or so mark? Or what would be the best way around this?
It's not totally clear what you are asking here, but I wouldn't use maximum-scale=1. You can set @media rules for any screen sizes, so just define the settings you want for the iPad—or for any sized screen. E.g.
@media only screen and (max-width: 500px) {
My right side was being cut off on ipad. min-width had no effect. I added the below and it worked like a charm. That's a pripratary apple code that all the others picked up too.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1260">
Yes, prepretty code like that will reset the layout viewport from the default 980px to 1260px, but it means the desktop layout will be presented as is on the small screen, making the text pretty tiny, which isn't so nice. That' why I think the OP is looking for options to reorganize the page on smaller screens (that is, be "responsive").
Thanks for the replies.
Basically, I want the site to be responsive from 480px down (will be 560px as I think that is what the iPhone 5 is in landscape), so the site should look the same on an iPad as it does on a desktop. But using this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1" />
in the HTML causes the iPad to cut off each side and scale to the width of the viewport of the iPad.
So the real question is, how do I get the 'scale' to not affect the iPad?
*Eric will that make the site look the same on iPad and Desktop?
Since you want the site to reflow on the iPhone but not iPad, I recommend you put this in the head of your document, which is a slight variation on what Eric posted:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
If you set a fixed value in place of "device-width", it might mess up the iPhone layout.
Cheers for that ralph, seems like you answer all my questions. I don't have an iPad with me right now, but will check when I get my hands on it later.
What's that one do Ralph?
This site explains it well http://blog.javierusobiaga.com/stop-using-the-viewport-tag-until-you-know-ho
I still don't really get it though. Ill have to test to fully understand.
Thanks for that Eric.
I have another question, not sure if I should create a new thread though...
Here it is anyway - I've seen a few sites recently that have images fall beneath each other when the veiwport scales down, and example is this website - http://footballfashion.org/wordpress/ - just wondering how this is done, nothing urgent, just curious.
It's a messy area, indeed, and I haven't found anyone who can really explain it properly, but this is one of the better explanations:
To get that kind of effect, you need JavaScript. Something like
meta content="width=device-width debunked.
or nothing added
So at least with my site I needed the fixed width meta in order to show the whole site and not cut off my footer. Now most likely has to do with the fixed footer. So using the first meta it just zooms in a little basically.
width=device-width really seems to be useful only if you have @media rules at play.
Why would media rules change anything? Full size monitors do not seem to change a bit. So feeding a blanket rule to all seems to be fine. In which case mobiles and such get the rule with or with out media queries in place.
Once you start using @media rules for smaller devices such as iPhone, I find they don't work properly without <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> in the head of the document. The link I gave above (post #11) explains why it's needed.
Hey again guys, I'm using this
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
and have @media queries kicking in at @media screen and (max-width: 480px) and all is great. The site is still full width on iPad just like Desktop, and on my Android phone is responsive.
So all worked out for me.Thanks!
Glad it's working. Thanks for the feedback.

text: Anti-mountaintop-removal activist Larry Gibson dies By Mackenzie Mays September 9, 2012 Story Share Read more on the Coal Tattoo blog.CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Renowned environmentalist and mountaintop removal opponent Larry Gibson died of a heart attack Sunday afternoon while working on Kayford Mountain -- the place he dedicated his life to protecting.Gibson spent decades rallying against the coal industry's impact on Appalachia and was named one of CNN's "Heroes" in 2007. He appeared on ABC's 20/20, traveled the country speaking out against mountaintop removal mining and testified before the United Nations with his signature slogan "Love 'em or leave 'em, just don't destroy 'em."Just this year, Gibson, 66, traveled to South America to speak about environmental issues."I've never met anyone as courageous Larry Gibson. He was a true icon in this work and showed his love for the mountains through action. He didn't sit around and simply enjoy the mountains. He worked everyday to protect them," said Janet Keating, executive director of the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition. "He died today doing what he loved, which was being on that mountain."Kayford Mountain, in Raleigh County, was Gibson's birthplace and the final resting place for his ancestors stretching back to the 18th century. Since mining began on the mountain in 1986, Gibson has fought to preserve his home and the homes of others.Keating worked with Gibson for more than 20 years and stood beside him when he walked across the state during the '90s to promote awareness of the state's mountaintop-removal controversy."I can't count how many times he was arrested for fighting what he believed in. We would tell him it wasn't safe and that tensions were high. But it didn't matter. He would say, 'We have to tell people what's happening.' He was tenacious," she said. "In spite of difficult issues, he kept a sense of humor and could lift us up when we were feeling really discouraged about the work." Friends say Gibson was hospitalized last week and received four stents in his heart.Bill Price, environmental justice coordinator for West Virginia's Sierra Club, said in the 12 years he spent working with Gibson, he rarely saw him without his bright neon t-shirt and hat broadcasting his message."He took simple tools and used them to engage people in the fight for justice in Appalachia. He told his story in a away that just captivated people," Price said. "After people met Larry, they never thought of things the same."A private funeral is planned, and Larry's family has requested that those wishing to express condolences make donations to the Keeper of the Mountains Foundation, which he founded in 2004 to support mountain communities.Larry is survived by his wife, Carol, two sons Cameron and Larry Jr. and his daughter, Victoria.A public memorial service will be announced at a later time."Larry used to say, "My mother gave me birth, but the Earth gives me life', " Keating said. "He was profound." To make a donation, visit mountainkeeper.blogspot.com.

3) News Flashes
Researchers studied Filipina women at about 30 weeks gestation and their 22,026 children, following them from their births in the early 1980s through adolescence. The study focused on blood pressure, an important marker of cardiovascular health. Results were controlled for adolescent age, height, and body mass index. Their diet, socioeconomic class, and activity levels were considered. The study revealed that maternal protein intake affected the level of blood pressure for boys: the higher the protein intake reported by the mothers, the lower their adolescent sons' systolic blood pressures. The blood pressures of the girls were affected not by protein, but by fat intake: the higher the mother's intake of calories from fat, the lower the diastolic and systolic blood pressures in their teenage daughters. The level of total caloric intake of the women did not have a significant effect on the adolescents' blood pressures.

4) Midwives' Autonomy
We have been pulled into the profession of midwifery from so many different avenues, yet in our community of midwives we all recognize our profession is more than a course of study, more than a learned art, more than a medical practice. It is an honor and a privilege to sit by a laboring woman's side and often be the first hands that touch a new soul entering this mysterious wonder of life .... We have become mentally technical in our struggle to be recognized as a legitimate professional group. We have created three-year courses of midwifery studies - during which students may not be attending birth, where real learning occurs - to prove our competency. So now, in our eager quest for recognition, we become stupid in medical terms, hieroglyphics of the birth rites, legal status of the individual states.
We have legitimized ourselves. We have legalized a spiritual path, a calling. We have stepped into the arena of the medical establishment in our desire to serve women. Yet in the process we are creating a division among ourselves as sister midwives, disallowing and minimizing those midwives who refuse - for political, spiritual, or personal reasons - to fall in line with licensure. We have turned on our own. We verbally and politically discount any midwife who refuses to be counted. More and more states where midwifery legislation is being passed are excluding the unlicensed midwife. Instead, they are accepting only the certified professional midwife as the criterion, the only midwife who can facilitate births, use the term "midwife," and accept financial restitution for time and service.
Have we forgotten so easily that God/Goddess is behind, between, and in all aspects of life? That birth works? Have we lost our state of innocence, and in our desire to be recognized have we fallen from the garden of trust and do we now look toward the medical establishment for approval?
Are we beginning to replace our innocence with fear - fear of competition, fear of bad statistics, fear of loss of income, fear of sliding backward after so much hard work? Have we gone so far now as to approach legislatures in alegal states to create laws that will be more restrictive than those we have, laws that are to give us permission to practice a divine calling to which spirit has called us equally?
Why is our right to choose how we practice separating us from each other as midwives? We need all of us to weave the tapestry of the midwives' world. We must be available to all women everywhere. Let us be aware, as we professionalize ourselves, that many in our community of midwives are once again standing outside the law but stand firmly in the light of their consciences and in the light of those souls who choose them to attend their births.

8) Question of the Week Responses
Q: A woman who is about 25 weeks along is experiencing almost overwhelming cravings for soap. She says the cravings have increased with each pregnancy. Her labs are all fine - no evidence of anemia. Suggestions?
- Anne Walters CNM
A: I had this in my first pregnancy. A local granny claimed she recognised it and she made me a "spring soup" using many bitter fresh leafy greens. She suggested I eat lots of the bitter greens in salads. Soap is bitter. Greens that have high amounts of many wonderful things like folate are bitter too. I would suggest trying any safe-to-eat green that is also bitter such as endive, the strong outer leaves of romaine lettuce, parsley, beet tops, spinach and fresh herbs if you can't find a granny to make "spring soup." I never had the cravings for soap in my subsequent pregnancies but I couldn't get enough spinach and endive salads.
- Natalie Bjorklund
A: Soap tends to be alkaline so I wonder if maybe she is experiencing some slight ketosis. Another possibility is some sort of parasite that has not been cleared out of the gut. I would be cautious about trying to remove parasites during pregnancy as any medication or herbs will most likely be cold and tend to move the energy downward - the opposite of what holds the pregnancy. Try adding more alkaline-forming foods into her diet and reducing the acidic ones.
- Colleen
A: My guess would be the relationship between soap cravings and diet would have something to do with fat content. Soap has fat in it to create an emulsion. She may be lacking adequate amounts of dietary fat and this may account for the cravings.

I am a determined supporter of Gloria Lemay. I find it dismaying to the extreme that registered BC midwives would so grossly misunderstand what her practice means to women who do not desire the presence of a registered midwife at their births. I have not found Ms. Lemay to be a "healthcare professional" in the sense used in your responses. I believe that she is a birth attendant whose first and foremost desire is to follow the wishes of the client and assist her as she births. She brings no belief that birth must be managed or that it is an illness of any kind. With this in mind, clients are well informed as to their choices, and this includes the use of Vitamin K or any other substance. Both of the responses [Issue 4:5] seem to indicate that if Ms. Lemay's clients were informed they would, of course, choose Vit K for their infants. This is far from the truth. And this is exactly the kind of belief system that drives birthing women away from registered midwives. Well-informed women choose to birth in a safe atmosphere, one in which they are safe not only from management by a health professional but one in which their choices are clearly respected. The midwife who presupposes that a client who chooses not to give Vitamin K to her infant is ignorant of the facts is exactly the midwife I do not want near me as I birth. So to whom do I go? In BC there seems to be only the way legislated by the government with no room for my personal, informed choice.
I am spending more and more time with women who have birthed with registered midwives and for subsequent births seek an alternative. Their choice is based not on a dislike of registered midwives, but simply on the realization that registered midwifery has not provided the care they desired. Many of these women, in the absence of a traditional birth attendant, are choosing unassisted birth instead - a glorious choice for some, being forced into a corner for others. It is sad indeed that the BC College of Midwives is working so hard to eliminate choice of attendant for women like these. It is a shame that the very institution and its members who proposed to provide gentle, respectful care to birthing women should so quickly decide that only they are capable of providing it whether the birthing family agrees or not. There was a time when we all were united in working with families for joyful birth. It appears that time has passed.
- Mary-Tim Hare
It concerns me that some BC midwives are questioning if Gloria Lemay is, indeed, "offering informed decision-making to her clients." I'm quite certain she is. I would imagine that women who choose Ms. Lemay do a lot of decision-making before they even become pregnant. As we all know, there is huge variety regarding what women desire from a caregiver. There are many wise, educated women who choose to believe that whichever course nature takes is the right one; they accept the challenges and conceive, grow, deliver, and raise their children on their own, in their way, finding guided support and professional assistance where and when they need it. These kinds of women need to have the option of being attended by women like Gloria Lemay. This is the real issue. If women are choosing to be cared for by Gloria, then Gloria's services are wonderful and necessary.

My 34-1/2 year old sister just had her fifth miscarriage. She miscarries about six weeks into pregnancy. We suspect trisomy, and this was identified in one of the previous pregnancies. She has no apparent uterine abnormalities, no infections, and lab work indicates she is not allergic to her husband's sperm, has good mucus, etc. She has an autoimmune disorder called ITP but it is not implicated in the miscarriages. ITP women carry babies to term and are often healthier during their pregnancies. Her doctor just told her to try again in two months. Is two months really an optimum recovery period? In the past two and half years, my sister has been pregnant, is miscarrying, or trying to conceive.
Does this deplete women? How can she optimize her chances of conceiving a healthy baby and carrying it to term?

Re vaginismus [Issue 4:5]: Yes women with vaginismus can have a vaginal birth. These women just have trouble accepting things going into them. During birth the traffic is going the other direction. It is important to stay off vaginal exams as much as possible, preferably all together. One can observe progress quite well usually by just watching the woman's behaviour, the labouring positions, she engages in, frequency and strength of the contractions, foetal heart tones, colour of the amniotic fluid, maybe abdominal palpation, amount of blood loss, and bulging of the anal sphincter at the final stage. When the pushing stage is started in the standing position the woman may take up a variety of positions after that, acting on her instincts. Here in The Netherlands we refer our client to the gynaecologist if the active pushing stage is expected to take longer than 2 hours. One can have a good idea of progress after 1 to 1-1/4 hour of pushing in the presence of good contractions.

Does anyone have written information that will support the premise that preemie twins should be kept together for the duration of their hospital stay? I know I read an article a while back to support the fact that the weaker of the twins is more likely to thrive and survive if the sibling twin is kept close and not sent home before both twins can be released together.
- Jeanne Engle, director, Imagery Birthing Center
Has anyone an article to recommend about not bathing babies considering that the baby needs to build up his/her normal bacteria ground, thus preventing infections and perhaps allergies later?

I have learned that kidney stones are not a result of too much calcium in the diet. They are formed when the body is getting too little calcium in the diet and therefore begins to break down bones and other structures in the body to obtain the calcium it needs for nutritional use. This breakdown of the body's store of calcium is what forms kidney stones. To avoid kidney stones, one must increase calcium intake.

Midwifery Today: Each One Teach One!

Irish mystery writer Tana French garnered uncommonly good reviews and widespread critical praise with her debut, and has continued to impress critics and popular readers with each new book about the fictitious Dublin Murder Squad. In her finely-plotted police procedurals, mysteries don't always get solved, criminals don't always get punished, and the guy doesn't always win the girl. Grim realities of social class, police politics, and human violence give the stories a dark tone, while the vividly-drawn character portraits of the protagonists add emotional depth.
Fans of Stieg Larsson, Dennis Lahane, and Gillian Flynn will find much to like in Tana French's thrillers.

Things will be changing around here slightly in the new year. My kids are starting school so I am taking the opportunity to further my career and take on some new challenges. That means that I'll be stepping down from my current position as Community Manager for the SitePoint group.
I won't be leaving you though. My love for these forums goes way to deep to walk away, so I'll be sticking around in an advisory role as Community Manager/Admin (aka Galactic Overlord) here.In order to make it work with my other commitments, I have appointed a co-admin to help me with the day to day running of this place.
I'm happy to announce that the person in question is ralph.m
Ralph has been a loyal member of my staff for many years now and has stepped into my shoes in the past when I've been on leave. He will retain his position as Team Leader of the Design Team, but will now be wearing a shiny red badge in honour of his promotion.
Please feel free to ask any questions that you have about this, and take a moment to congratulate Ralph on his promotion.
Congratulations Ralph
Congrats, well deserved.
Tandems can reach high speeds! Congratulations to both of you!
Best to both!Just one question.
Does this meam @ralph_m; is the "Galactic Underlord"?
That would certainly make sense, but it's already been decided that my official title is to be "Galactic Groom of the Stool".
Congrats ralph.m and good luck Hawk with your new challenges!
Congratulations, Ralph. Live long and prosper. (I'm not sure how to address a Galactic Groom of the Stool. )
[ot]Did you, perchance, write that wikipedia article? I thought this line had a certain air of Ralph about it:
This secret information he was privy to...[/ot]
Congrats to both of you!
:lol: No, I didn't write it, but I'd say the folks who did must have had some fun. I love the formal and dignified language used to describe what is essentially the role of a royal bottom wiper. [/ot]
Congratulations to both. It's been ages since there were two reds in the forums :lol:
Shouldn't ralph be purple (1/2 red, 1/2 blue) - or would he just be confused?
Love that article - wonder if that's where the term "the economy's gone in the crapper" came from?
and under Henry VII, the Groom of the Stool became a powerful official involved in setting national fiscal policy
More experience is always good, congratulations.
Or red and blue stripes. Congratulations to them both! :tup:
Congrats Ralph, you're awesome! Good luck next year with the kids Hawk. Take care to both of you and Merry Christmas.
Congratulations on your solid leadership of this community, Sarah. You have done a great job.
My interactions with Ralph have always been positive, so this sounds like a great choice. Congratulations Ralph and best of luck in your new role.
double congratulation my dear.
can the co admin provide some information about how to succeed to be a co admin here in this forum.

An armed robber foiled by a have-a-go hero window cleaner as he tried to flee a bank raid by bike has been jailed for life.
Andrew Fernandez, 47, threatened a cashier with an imitation gun and demanded cash at Lloyds Bank in Brighton Road, Coulsdon, on November 27.
He was fended off and then chased down by James Rowley, 34, who will this week receive a police award for bravery.
Mr Rowley, of Caterham, had been in the bank as a customer when Fernandez, of no fixed abode, burst in wearing a motorcycle helmet.
The window cleaner suspected Fernandez's firearm was fake and told him to leave. The robber continued to demand cash and threaten the cashier, but fled when he was again challenged by Mr Rowley.
Fernandez tried to make his getaway on a pedal bike but was pursued by Mr Rowley and the window cleaner's colleague, who was waiting in a van outside.
They wrestled the would-be thief to the ground and held him until police arrived to arrest him.
Mr Rowley told officers he had seen Fernandez throwing an object into a nearby building site, where officers found the fake gun.
Police initially charged Fernandez with attempted robbery and possession of an imitation firearm, but detectives later learned he was responsible for two similar robberies, in Barnet and Watford, earlier that year.
He was charged two further counts of robbery and two counts of possession of an imitation firearm and pleaded guilty to all charges at Kingston Crown Court, where he was jailed for life today.
James Rowley received a commendation from the Met's assistant commissioner Mark Rowley
After sentencing Fernandez, judge Fergus Mitchell ordered that Mr Rowley receive a £1,200 reward for his braver.
He will also be given a police public bravery award at the Association of Chief Police Officers annual awards ceremony on Thursday and received a Metropolitan Police commendation in March.
Mr Rowley described himself as "humbled" by the awards.
He said: "When I saw him enter the bank waving the gun around, making demands I just acted on instinct. I thought that the gun wasn't real and therefore I knew I had to act.
"At the time I didn't think it was brave I thought it was my duty to get involved ignoring it was not the answer. I told him to leave and then he tried to escape I immediately thought no he is not going to get away with this so chased him with the help of my friend, holding him down until the officers came along.
"What's happened since then with receiving an Assistant Commissioner's commendation and now being awarded a police bravery award, well I am humbled."
Detective Sergeant David Barnfather, from the Met's robbery investigation team said: "The bravery of James Rowley was truly remarkable in confronting what was for all intents and purposes, an armed and extremely dangerous criminal.
"Mr. Rowley's courage and sense of civic duty are to be applauded and thanks to him Fernandez is behind bars."

IAOM Expands Professional Development Program Offerings in Europe
Date Posted: November 29, 2012
To help expand its outreach efforts involving milling training courses in Europe and the United States, the International Association of Operative Millers (IAOM) recently announced plans to hold milling training courses in Italy.
IAOM will work jointly with OCRIM, a leading milling equipment manufacturer in Cremona, Italy, to provide educational and training opportunities to milling professionals at Ocrim's In¬ternational School of Milling Technology, which is located in Cremona.
"This is an important step in our efforts to enhance our professional development program and bring more opportunities for milling professionals on a more regional basis and to develop their skills, so they may become more proficient at their jobs," said IAOM Executive Vice President Melinda Farris.
The training at OCRIM's school will be modeled after the successful series of resident milling courses, which IAOM has offered at Kansas State University, Manhattan, for several de¬cades.
The courses will be led by Dr. Jeff Gwirtz along with the experienced faculty from the Inter¬national School of Milling Technology.
The first training programs will be offered March 11-22, 2013. Fundamentals of Milling I and II will be offered during the consecutive weeks.
Students may enroll in both sessions or elect to attend just one week-long session.
More classes will be offered throughout 2013.
"We are excited about working with OCRIM on this new project in their training facility," said Farris.
"Students will benefit from the hands-on training and opportunities and in sharing their own experiences and knowledge with each other.
"Cremona, is a great place for students from various backgrounds to join together for this kind of professional development."
OCRIM CEO Alberto Antolini said, "Our company has always believed that it takes more than passion to supply exclusive products. It also requires ex¬pert knowledge.
"Since 1965, our milling technology school has educated more than 3,000 technicians and shown that this is the right philosophy and path to follow.
"This agreement with IAOM will enable all the participants to share experiences and competencies in order to improve the quality of the milling industry," he continued.
For more information and to enroll online, visit the IAOM website.

Top marketing executives from Telstra and Optus have been ordered to attend mediation over an advertising dispute about their respective 4G networks in Brisbane.
Optus launched legal action on Monday claiming Telstra engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct by "making a representation that Telstra is the only network offering 4G in Brisbane, and a representation that Optus does not have 4G in Brisbane," according to documents lodged with the Federal Court in New South Wales.
Optus managing director of marketing Michael Smith and Telstra chief marketing officer Mark Buckman have been ordered to attend a mediation session this Friday morning.
A spokesman for Telstra said: "At the time we launched the campaign Optus did not have a 4G network in Brisbane. Once we were alerted to it, we took steps to ensure we no longer used the claim and today committed to having material removed from Telstra stores by COB tomorrow."
The dispute started because Telstra turned on 4G in Brisbane in May 2011 and advertised it had the only 4G network in the city. In early September 2012 Optus said it would be switching on 4G equipment in Brisbane in early 2013.
However, Optus moved earlier than expected, switching on five 4G sites in Brisbane city and four sites in Surfers Paradise on October 31. Optus wrote to Telstra twice warning that it was activating 4G earlier than planned, according to industry sources.
And while Telstra's billboards were removed it appears Telstra refused to remove in-store advertising such as posters and computer screens until legal action commenced.
Optus wants the court to order corrective advertising and the removal of all the offending advertising, plus costs and interest.

Junya Watanabe Fall 2012
Office attire and what it can mean to the modern woman is proving a growing preoccupation this season. So far, we've seen files opened on the subject from designers as different as Donna Karan, Balenciaga, and now, in his way, Junya Watanabe. Tailoring in the mannish sense isn't a departure for him, though: He's a master of the coat and the jacket, derived along the way from his taste for a waisted, dandyish cut and his appreciation for the look of traditional British menswear checks and pinstripes. That's how he opened the show, and his presentation of neat, quietly pragmatic and executive-friendly overcoats, pantsuits, and hybrid cape-jackets reeled out through the collection.
Still, another dimension of Watanabe's aesthetic always tends to the romantic, and many of the variations he put on the runway were hybrids of hard and soft, masculine and feminine. Using crushed and burn-out velvet in rose patterns and coin dots or fluttery viscose in miniature prints of hearts, he cut high-waisted dresses as whole, independent garments, or layered and fused fragments of them onto tailored pieces.
The cumulative effect, played out at length, seemed to emphasize range over symbolism or message, though. This wasn't Watanabe in one of his angrier moods (like his powerful essays on military fatigues or punk), or one of his obsessively focused dissections of the possibilities of one garment (like the one he devoted to the puffer), or one of his sweetly playful seasons (like the ones where he riffed on Liberty print or joyfully delved into denim and African fabric). Still, the Watanabe woman already has these pieces in her wardrobe–his work has a relevance that makes them constantly wearable, whatever the season. Fall's additions for the Watanabe collector? Fans of his knitwear will jump on the argyle sweaters and turtleneck sailor-stripe tops that were visible beneath the navy and gray midsection of the show. And if now seems the moment to go for a tailored cape, he's their man.

By chance, Grant explained, they met the former Bethany Presbyterian pastor, Dan Baumgartner, when he moved to Los Angeles, where Grant lived, to preside over Hollywood Presbyterian Church. He, of course, touted the church, and after spending several Sundays there to check it out, they became members.
Other Queen Anne churches are featured in Grant's new book "Inspired: Churches of Seattle," as well as those in Capitol Hill, the University District and other Seattle neighborhoods.
The idea for "Inspired" came from Grant's experience freelance writing for religious publications over the years.
"I always thought churches were such an integral part of our national culture but weren't really appreciated as such," he said. "This was even more true of the 'unchurched' Northwest and Seattle, and so after being here for several months and seeing the dynamic churches and church culture, I wanted to tell this untold story."
He made contact with a publisher, Documentary Media, whose work he'd seen and respected. They, in turn, introduced him to photographer Lara Swimmer.
They met and discussed certain aspects of church architecture, and once permission from each church was secured, Swimmer ventured inside with her cameras. She forwarded her work to Grant, who worked with the publisher.
Getting permissions was often the most difficult part of the work.
"I would either visit the churches or go online to try to find a suitable church contact," Grant said. "I would then email them a solicitation letter, which would emphasize that it was cost-free to be in the book and that they could have input in vetting the text pertaining to their own organization. It helped the process that I had some of the larger churches in hand at the beginning (St. James Cathedral, Saint Mark's Cathedral, St. Ignatius Chapel) and could communicate to the others they were on board."
A few hoped-for churches had to be left out. Grant recalls that St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Greenwood was left out for "space considerations."
Swimmer noted that there was to be a chapter entitled "Other Voices," which would have included the Japanese Buddhist temple, Temple De Hirsch Sinai and an Islamic mosque, but the chapter fell through because Grant couldn't secure their permission.
Now, Grant is working on finishing his master's degree in pastoral counseling at Seattle University. He will then turn his focus to This Healing Ground, an Edmonds, Wash.-based group specializing in pastoral counseling.
He's writing a play tentatively titled "House of God," which takes place in a church. He is also considering writing coffee-table books about the churches in New York and Boston, "which, believe it or not, don't already exist," he said.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/12/2012 (1717 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A missing Winnipeg man who survived for three weeks in the woods said he's grateful to be home.
Brad Lambert, 46, was reported missing on Nov. 15 after he was last seen in Marchand before he left on a hunting trip.
Police and relatives launched an air and ground search for Lambert in the hopes of finding him before he walked into a store in Marchand Saturday morning, hungry and tired.
Lambert said he is not able to disclose many details of the ordeal until he gives police a full statement.
He said he had no food in his truck, but drank melted snow from the surrounding terrain to stay hydrated.
"I hung in there and hoped and waited, and thought of my family and friends and loved ones. That kept me going," said Lambert, who was released from hospital Saturday night.
"I feel physically fine, still just a little bit tired. I'm so happy to be home and see my family and friends. I'm just so moved by the outpouring of help and support from family and friends who were out looking."
With no leads in the missing-persons case, police issued a news release on Friday asking people in Manitoba and Ontario to check their property for the six-foot Lambert.
He had last been seen in the Marchand area, about 85 kilometres southeast of Winnipeg, wearing camouflage clothing and driving a Ford F-150 truck, police said.
On Saturday, Lambert showed up in a store in Marchand.
"We gave him a sub sandwich and Gatorade," said Susan Martens, an employee at the store southeast of Steinbach. The 240-pound Winnipeg man looked "skinny" when he entered the store, said Martens.
"He said he was lost in the bush," she said.
"I just told him to phone his wife."
Lambert's father, Norman Lambert, called his son's homecoming a "miracle."
He said his son usually did not go on hunting trips alone, and his truck got stuck in the woods.
Lambert said Brad was deep into the bush and slept in the truck, though there was no heat because the battery died.
He said his son stayed put until he found a trail that led to the main road.
Lambert said aerial searches did not spot the truck or his son, who was wearing camouflage.
"He said he couldn't see a deer or rabbit or anything to shoot," he said. "He was out hunting but couldn't find anything to eat. He just went hungry."
Lambert said there was a huge search party out looking for Brad, who was a guard at the Winnipeg Remand Centre.
He said RCMP launched a ground and air search, and many concerned friends and relatives pitched in to look for him.
"It's an amazing thing," he said. "Like a miracle. We're all smiling today."
Winnipeg police spokesman Const. Eric Hofley said the missing-persons unit was informed by family members that Lambert is back and OK.
Police will interview Lambert about his whereabouts, Hofley said, and how he survived so long missing in December's cold.
