About one-third of aboriginal Canadians say they have no trust in oil and natural gas companies, or energy executives, as a source of information on energy issues, according to a new survey from the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy.
Using a scale of zero to 10, where zero is "not at all trustworthy" and 10 is "very trustworthy," 26 per cent of those surveyed gave oil and natural gas companies a rating of five or higher. Energy company executives received a score of five or higher from 24 per cent of respondents, according to Professor Michal Moore.
About one in four of those surveyed also said they have zero trust in the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers or the federal government, the study found. At the same time, CAPP had a trustworthy score of five or higher from 28 per cent of respondents, and Ottawa had five or higher from 37 per cent.
Mr. Moore said the "cross-section" of 300 aboriginal and First Nations people who were surveyed online and by telephone last July also indicated they are more concerned about the environment – and the related effects of energy projects – than Canadians as a whole. However, the percentage of aboriginal Canadians opposed to the construction of oil and natural gas pipelines near their community drops if the projects help fund education or social programs.
"Support for oil and gas pipelines is tied to the financial benefit to the community," concluded the survey, which was released Thursday and also looked at respondents' self-stated "knowledge of energy issues."
The professors in charge of the study based their questions around key themes such as "energy well-being is part of our economic and cultural heritage," and "improving energy 'literacy' will be successful only if we understand the gaps, and then work to fill them."
The study comes the same day that Doug Eyford – Ottawa's special envoy on West Coast energy infrastructure – warned Ottawa that the federal government must take action to improve relationships with First Nations in British Columbia and Alberta, or risk the viability of energy projects on the West Coast.
In an interview, CAPP president Dave Collyer said "trust is largely about relationships."
"To the extent that there is not trust, and not effective working relationships, yes, that's an important issue that we (the industry) need to be mindful of," Mr. Collyer said.
"The Eyford report today reinforced the fact we've got to do a better job engaging. That does not mean it's going to be easy to resolve the issues."Report Typo/Error

Argent Energy Trust is finally a public company.
The firm first had dreams of going public a year ago, but those were dashed when markets soured. Then it came back with an ambitious $325-million deal this past May, but that too had to be reworked.
Argent finally settled on a smaller initial public offering last month, and the tradeoff worked, considering it closed its $212-million offering on Friday.
In scaling back the IPO, Argent had to give up on an asset purchase. The firm originally hoped to acquire both the Denali assets in Texas and Mississippi from Denali Oil & Gas for $178-million, as well as the EQ assets in southern Oklahoma and Texas from EnergyQuest for $148-million. The EQ assets were ultimately scrapped and the Denali assets are now being bought for $167-million.
After re-filing its prospectus in July, Argent was put under the gun to get its deal done because a new clause allowed either party to walk away if the proposed acquisition didn't close by August 31. That's no longer a worry.
As a mutual fund trust, Argent will pay out much of its income the way that the old income trusts used to and started trading a pricey yield of 10.5 per cent annually.
Scotia Capital, CIBC World Markets and RBC Dominion Securities co-led the offering.Report Typo/Error

Corporate Japan to pool big data
TOKYO -- Japanese companies in fields as diverse as precision machinery, food and advertising will open up their storehouses of data to one another in hopes of creating new products and services.
The country's first big-data exchange, set to launch next month, will seek to grow from an initial 30-odd members to 300 in 2017. Broadcasters, retailers, railway operators and telecommunications companies are among those expected to participate.
Many businesses are sitting on mountains of digital information, but few have the computing or human power to mine them for potentially useful bits. The consortium will also provide the necessary resources to members.
Members will pay a 300,000 yen ($2,900) annual fee. They will be able to browse a list of data available for sharing, ask for permission to use a particular set, and offer information of their own.
Say a food company wants to know what consumers think of a new product without taking the time to conduct a survey. By looking for patterns running through its shipment logs, an analysis of Twitter posts, and retail sales figures, the manufacturer may be able to gauge the reaction to the product in real time. The consortium will also draw on national and local government data.
Datasection, which analyzes tweets and other social media activity, and online marketing company Digital Intelligence have set up the umbrella organization. Internet service provider Internet Initiative Japan and the Fujitsu Research Institute will take part in running the exchange, with the former to configure a cloud computing service for analyzing big data while the latter supplies consumer activity data gathered from blogs and other sources.
Companies have occasionally found themselves in users' bad books for selling data to third parties. In an effort to prevent such trouble, exchange members will agree to common rules for safeguarding personal information.

Grinch – Where Are You Christmas? lyrics
Where are you Christmas?
Why can't I find you?
Why have you gone away?
My world is changing,
I'm rearranging.
Does that mean Christmas changes too?
Where are you christmas?
Do you remember
The girl you used you know?
You and I were so carefree.
Now nothing's easy.
Did Christmas change,
Or just me?

Last Saturday afternoon we experienced a new thrill in the world of sports. This time, however, we were able to participate as well as observe. For the first time in our long career in sports we rode, nay skimmed, over the blue waters of Long Island Sound in a sleek, trim yacht. And to cap the climax, our boat, the White Flash, led the twenty-four other sailboats over the triangular course to a fast finish and a first place.
"Captain" Jesse Fisher, one of the best-known Jewish navigators in New York waters, invited us along to watch how his thirty-foot boat sets the pace for yachts of its kind in metropolitan waterways.
Leaving the Larchmont starting line the White Flash soon had her jib and mainsail up and aided by a strong southern breeze we spanked over the bounding main as if we were built for the wind. However, our skipper wasn't taking unnecessary chances and held the lead with all the skill at his command.
As we glided over the sparkling waves we would get the wet, cooling wind-blown spray right in our faces. It was not until the second time around the course that we ran into anything that resembled rough weather. To a landlubber like your sports commentator the rocking, the tossing, and the pitching of our frail, little craft seemed the last roundup. But to our seasoned "captain," the strong breeze was just a "whistling winder" that would cinch the race for the White Flash.
We asked the skipper when we would take to the lifeboats and he just laughed, howled and roared, In fact he guffawed with such gusto that the boat increased its speed due to the added wind. Jesse Fisher then told us of the activities on the oceanways the day before. It seemed that a whistling squall piped up due to the oppressive heat just as the boats, 237 of them, were heading down the home stretch. Most of the boats had their lees smothered in foam and were churning the white water in their wakes. Two boats capsized and old Popeye was swamped.
However, the strong breeze blew itself out and the prevailing southerly wind filled our sails to what seemed to us almost the bursting capacity. Our speed picked up and we soon heard the wind whistling in the sailtops. We were about twenty yards ahead of the closest boat at the time. Something went wrong with our competitor's mainsail and that left us well out in front and ahead of the pack. We breezed in a winner by five minutes in front of the Silver Slither, owned and navigated by F. P. Melvin.
This is the sport for us from now on. As soon as we can corner the city editor we'll ask him for a special department on boats so we can ride in these bobbyboats more often. There's nothing like it, especially if one has never sailed before.
Art Lasky is one of the many heavyweight boxing sluggers in the fight game today. But, in our estimation, Art is different from the rest of the cauliflowered flock. Art is up and coming with a punch in both his fists, a good pair of legs under him, and a fine sense of ring technique that has taken him places already.
Only a short time ago Lasky, a Jewish youngster from Minneapolis, defeated the Chicago Assassin, sometimes known as the Windy City Walloper, Kid Krakow, and the Old Fish Peddler. In other words he knocked King Levinsky back to the fish stalls where he belongs.
The first fight between Levinsky and Lasky was scheduled for two months ago. However, the protege of Leaping Lena Levy suddenly developed cold feet, which in medical parlance is sometimes known as a nervous breakdown. He ran out on the first fight and was discovered by a couple of newspaper boys in a Chicago hospital being fed chicken broth by his sister-manageress.
Doctors said that Levinsky would not be able to fight for some time. He had lost the enormous poundage of thirty-two ounces. Nevertheless, a statement issued by the California, Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania boxing commissions made the King pack his grip and hurry back to Los Angeles to fulfill his contract with Art Lasky.
The fight was played up on the coast. Two Jewish heavyweight contenders fighting it out for honors. Well, all that was the publicity gag. The boxing boys knew that one punch from Lasky on Levinsky's glass chin would shatter all the plate glass in Pittsburgh. And so it happened.
Now that the Levinsky-Lasky scrap is burlesque history, Lasky has issued a challenge to Baer. All we can say is that Lasky is very lucky Baer has decided not to don the gloves for a year. Lasky is not in the same class with the champ and in fact he doesn't attend the same school.
Nevertheless we say that in a year or two we'll be hearing things about Art Lasky, the Jewish fighter from Minneapolis.
Vanka Zelezniak, the Siberian Wildman, will meet Gino Garibaldi tomorrow night in the feature finish attraction. The Russian is known for his rough and ready ring tactics, but in the Italian he meets a leading grappler.
Marshall Blackstock and Pat Newman get together in a forty-five minute foray in the semi-final. Three thirty-minute tussles round out the card, Gene Bruce vs. the Masked Marvel, Bert Rubi vs. Jim Atlas, and George Hagen vs. Gene LaDeux.
Everett Marshall trades holds with Buck Weaver in the special attraction which features Rudy Dusek and George Hagen.
Incidentally, watch our column Wednesday for a little showdown on this wrestling racket.
Kid Chocolate has stepped up a weight division. After suffering defeat at the hands of Peady Hayes a week or so ago at Ebbets Field, Chocolate is facing Buster Brown of Baltimore in the lightweight class tomorrow. The Cuban Bon Bon says if he loses this fight he'll hang up the gloves forever. Buster Brown recently held Tony Falco to a draw.
The Brown-Chocolate battle tops an exceptionally attractive card. Besides this bout there are thirty-four other rounds of boxing, with such pugs as Ray Napolitano, Eddie Ran, Teddy Loder and Pacho.

Nashville, TN --- Metro Parks' Centennial Art Center has announced a vibrant summertime display sure to make eyes dance. Three local artists are contributing to this exhibit: James Threalkill, a well-known painter and arts advocate, Edward Belbusti, an architect and sculptor, and John "Jahni" Moore, a painter and illustrator from Huntsville, Alabama. The colorful and dynamic paintings of Threalkill and Moore will surround the architectural forms of Edward Belbusti's ceramic constructions. The new exhibit will be on display from Friday, June 6th –July 23rd with the artists' reception to be held Friday, June 6th from 5-7pm.
Nashville native James Threalkill is a veteran to Nashville's growing art scene—having been a benchmark participant as a local artist for over 30 years. His career as an artist began right here with Metro Nashville Parks and Recreation where he was an art instructor after earning a Fine Art degree from Vanderbilt University. He credits his mother as being the biggest supporter of his development as an artist. His is an Emmy Award winner and muralist, He has created and collaborated on large-scale mural projects all over the city, including the Vanderbilt Pediatric Clinic and the Nashville International Airport.
Another artist akin to large-scale projects is ceramic artist, Edward Belbusti. Born in 1954, Belbusti studied architecture at Virginia Tech and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Architecture in 1981. Prior to moving to Nashville, he worked as an architect in both New York and Baltimore. After relocating to the South in 1989, he began working at Vanderbilt University as University Architect. His sculpting career began in 2011 after he retired from architecture, although he admits architecture still plays a strong role in his artwork. In his artist statement he writes, "I use my 30 years of experience in architecture as the foundation of my thinking about form. I imagine the possibility of each sculpture existing in many different scales – from a desktop piece to a large public sculpture or an entire building. The vocabulary of my work is the clay slab which I deform in various ways to explore the balance, tension, and structure of the piece as well as the interplay between the components within the piece. In some pieces, I use surface texture and color to suggest that the piece could be made of steel, wood, plastic, or another generic material. In a similar way, the scale of the piece is meant to be ambiguous, thus creating in the viewer's imagination the possibility of a monumentally scaled piece.
As an artist he has gained notoriety both in the United States and Colombia, South America for his creative and humanitarian accomplishments. He believes creativity should be an integral part of any effective educational (and healing) process. Much of his artwork centers around social commentary and cultural awareness and is created with the thoughtful use of either drawing charcoal or acrylic paint. In 1999 he completed a large mural at Earlyworks Children's Museum in Huntsville, Alabama which is still on exhibit today. Jahni has taught art on every academic level from kindergarten to college. His present style is characterized as Numinousneoism, a term coined by Artist John Solomon Sandridge. Numinousneosim is "unbridled creative expression from the essence of the creative spirit." The show will remain on display through July 23, 2014.
Centennial Art Center Gallery is free and open to the public. The exhibit is open June 6 – July 23, 2014. Gallery hours are Monday-Thursday 9am-5pm. For more information, call Centennial Art Center at (615) 862-8442, visit online: http://www.nashville.gov/cac or find them on Facebook.

Yesterday, West New York, New Jersey Mayor Felix Roque and his son were arrested and charged with "gaining unauthorized access to computers, conspiracy and causing damage to protected computers" -- offenses which carry potential sentences of over 10 years.
At NJ.com, home of the Star-Ledger (print circulation now less than 200,000), one finds that the there is an even greater example of hackery than that involving political hacks allegedly perpetrating computer hacks. That would be hackery of the journalistic persuasion. In his coverage of the Roques' arrests, the Star-Ledger's Ted Sherman waited 19 paragraphs to directly tag Roque as a Democrat. Meanwhile, Sherman noted the mayor's support of Republican Governor Chris Christie -- twice (Paragraphs 5 and 20) -- and his short-lived endorsement of Joseph Kyrillos, the Republican challenging incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Robert Menendez. As will be seen, Sherman's shameful show of bias caps several months of disgraceful NJ.com coverage of Roque. First, excerpts from Sherman's coverage of the arrests, completely with shaky grammar (bolds are mine):
West New York mayor arrested by FBI on hacking charges
West New York Mayor Felix Roque was arrested this morning by the FBI on charges of illegally hacking into a website associated with a recall movement, while attempting to tap into e-mails to find who might be plotting against him.
A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office confirmed the arrest and said Roque's son, Joseph, was also taken into custody.
According to a criminal complaint filed under seal and released following the arrests, the two men are charged with an electronic dirty tricks campaign in an effort to disrupt and kill the recall movement, whose organizers included West New York and Hudson County employees.
Details in the complaint show the two men were playing hardball, in a place where politics is always a life and death struggle against competing Democratic factions.
Roque, who is a strong supporter of Republican Gov. Chris Christie and repeatedly suggested that he had powerful friends, but never mentioned the governor's name.
... Roque, an Army reservist and doctor, is a Democrat who led a recall petition against former Mayor Sal Vega, then beat him in the city's nonpartisan election on May 10.
But his support for Christie has angered many in his urban Hudson County community, leading to the efforts to toss him as well.
Roque earlier this year endorsed Republican Joseph Kyrillos against incumbent U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (N-N.J.) in February, only to awkwardly take it back a month later after facing pressure from his own party.
(Not that there's any conceivable defense for what Roque did if he's guilty of the alleged crimes, but is expressing support for Christie the only reason Roque is or was facing a recall?)
As the story about Roque's rogue behavior developed, NJ.com's allergy to Democratic Party ID's was obvious:
- May 24 ("West New York Mayor Felix Roque and son arrested, sources say") -- On the day of the Roques' arrests, an unbylined Jersey Journal report announcing their imminence failed to note the mayor's party affiliation.
- March 23 ("West New York mayor's home and offices searched by FBI") -- Reporter John Heinis of the Jersey Journal failed to tag Roque as a Dem. Republican Kyrillos was mentioned, but it was Roque who brought him up.
- March 24 ("West New York Mayor Felix Roque denies reports that FBI agents searched his premises, though says he did meet with agents on unrelated matter") -- Heinis again failed to ID Roque as a Democrat.
- May 24 ("Arrest of West New York Mayor Felix Roque is talk of the town") -- Heinis once more; no Dem ID of Roque.
The Star-Ledger's print circulation is down over 50% from six years ago (March 31, 2006 circulation was 398,000), a decline which is far greater than that seen on average in the rest of the country. With the hackery just seen here, it's not difficult to understand why -- and it wouldn't be much of a surprise if NJ.com is also underperforming.

The TACH Report: Highway That Thinks is Here; Rick Hendricks Bribery Trial Moved; Toyota Camry Taking Over Ford Taurus Top Spot
7 August 1997It finally became a reality: the Intelligent Highway. After many years of work--seven to be exact--and $200 million, The Automated Highway System Consortium has revealed a protoype eighteen-mile stretch of highway in Mira Mesa, CA, near San Diego, that is wired to actually take over the driving chores for YOUR car. The car has a special computer, and the road has a series of magnets and wires. The car drives itself, swerves to avoid obstacles, keeps its distance behind other cars, stops, goes and keeps you cruising at 65 mph. There will be a formal demonstration this coming Sunday, and TACH will be there. For more info try http://www.itsonline.com/nahsc.html. It's said there will be more of these highways in the year 2002.
Mega car dealer and NASCAR race team owner Rick Hendricks--who is facing bribery and racketeering charges over some Honda car distribution business--was to stand trial Aug 11, but the Judge on the advice of Hendricks Doctors--he has leukemia--moved the trial to Sept 22. The court appointed Doctors however disagreed and said he was strong enough to go to court.
It appears that the Toyota Camry is going ahead of the Ford Taurus in the national car sales race for the first time since 1992. Camry put 239,041 units over the curb so far in 1997 and Taurus has retailed 207,426 four doors and wagons. Now watch Ford stage a massive rebate program for both dealers and consumers in an attempt to recapture the sales lead. It's worked before, and the TACH audience is the winner.
Suzuki has been fighting the roll over war for its LT500R ATV for quite some time, and now the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals says Suzuki is safe. End of case.
Goodyear is about to launch a big ad campaign for its run-flat tires, which will have seven sizes.
Ford has opened an assembly plant in the Soviet Union to make 6000 Escorts and Ford Transits per year.
GM will be the official car/truck of the year 2000 Olympic games on NBC. It's a $100 million deal.
The new 1998 Corvette convertible has a starting sticker of $44,990 and, are you ready for this first? A trunk. A real live trunk.
A prototype 1998 Cougar is making the car show circuit and if Lincoln-Mercury builds anything that looks like this dream car it will sell like the Navigator. It's hot!
Speaking of the Navigator, it is the most crowd-friendly vehicle we have tested in a long while. There are no demographics. Sub teens rush up and say "COOL" Teens in groups lust after it. Families cross the street to have a better look. Wherever it is parked it evokes complimentary comments, and questions from everyone. People KNOW what it is and what it costs. Home run
BMW has a new 5 series based M5 with a 400hp V8 as its power.
Toyota is coming out with a new sedan called the Celsior. In the luxury segment, prices start at $45,000.
Keep the TACH in the red...and stay ahead !

The next phase of the regeneration project had been delayed, costing Dumfries and Galloway Council £130,000.
But local MP Russell Brown said the issue had now been resolved after he pressed the parties to find a solution.
Paperwork has now been completed which will allow the project to progress without a further retendering, he said.
The MP for Dumfries and Galloway said the project had been delayed because Sea Containers had not cancelled its lease with Crown Estates over areas within Stranraer harbour which had previously been occupied by the company.
He said: "I remain concerned that the situation was allowed to reach this crisis point.
"The parties involved knew about the lease issue a year ago and yet it was left until now to resolve it, costing the council £130,000 in the process and threatening to cost more still.
"This situation should be reflected upon to ensure that if any further issues arise they are dealt with immediately."

|Okay, so does the memory I allocate to the heap have to be a power of two, or the shape I apply them to have to be?
|And would I detect how big it is by reading the width and height, then having a bunch of if statements comparing the texture to larger and larger, and use the first one that is larger? Or could I just make a HUGE (2048) memory block?
|As for reading in row by row, how do I know where to start reading in the file?

//Fill Buffer with 0? I want it to be transparent....
|Plus a random question, I currently read the texture every loop. Can I just save the texture number that it is (the one I bind to) and just do it that way?
|And one last thing, how do I make the picture so that around the image it is see through, such as not seeing white corners around a red ball?

Here come the line-gang pioneering by,
They throw a forest down less cut than broken.
They plant dead trees for living, and the dead
They string together with a living thread.
O Sleepless as the river under thee,
Vaulting the sea, the prairies' dreaming sod,
Unto us lowliest sometime sweep, descend
And of the curveship lend a myth to God.
In principle a work of art has always been reproducible. Manmade artifacts could always be imitated by men. Replicas were made by pupils in practice of their craft, by masters for diffusing their works, and, finally, by third parties in the pursuit of gain.

i sing of Olaf glad and big whose warmest heart recoiled at war: a conscientious object-or
The poem of the mind in the act of finding
What will suffice. It has not always had
To find: the scene was set; it repeated what
Was in the script.
Then the theatre was changed
To something else. Its past was a souvenir.
The palm at the end of the mind,
Beyond the last thought, rises
In the bronze distance.
A gold-feathered bird
Sings in the palm, without human meaning,
Without human feeling, a foreign song.
We make our meek adjustments,
Contented with such random consolations
As the wind deposits
In slithered and too ample pockets.
For we can still love the world, who find
A famished kitten on the step, and know
Recesses for it from the fury of the street,
Or warm torn elbow coverts.
Often beneath the wave, wide from this ledge
The dice of drowned men's bones he saw bequeath
An embassy.
Their numbers as he watched,
Beat on the dusty shore and were obscured.
The leaves will fall again sometime and fill
The fleece of nature with those purposes
That are your rich and faithful strength of line.
But now there are challenges to spring
In that ripe nude with head

I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the

My soul has grown deep like the rivers.

Lego has been voted Britain's favourite toy of the past 35 years.
It is almost 50 years since the coloured building bricks were launched.
But it beat off the competition to be named by 56 per cent of people as their childhood favourite.
The survey, carried out to celebrate catalogue store Argos's 35th birthday, revealed, however that Scalextric that was the most desired toy.
A quarter of all men polled longed as children to own the racing track but were never bought one.
Lego's unisex appeal may have helped it clinch the top spot ahead of gender-specific toys such as Barbie, Sylvanian Families and He-Man.
And its timeless appeal means it is still a best-seller and is expected to feature in Argos's top 10 for 2008.
A Lego spokesman said: "The poll proves Lego is a high quality toy."

About the Book
NATURE PHOTOGRAPHS FOR GOODNESS SAKE, INSPIRATION FOR ABOLITIONIST VEGANISM is an inspirational nature and nature art photography book dedicated to abolitionist veganism. It contains both text and pictures.
Some statements directly use the exact words of Professor Gary L. Francione, the Vegan Society and others. However I try as the author to reflect my own creative thoughts using the images and ideas that have taken place in my photography and practice of abolitionist veganism.

About the Creator
I am an emerging professional nature photographer. Having romped in the woods after stampeding bull deer, spent a couple of years boating on Lake Erie, lived beside a thousand acres of Ohio wetlands during the 1980's, flown in the region as an avionics tech and most importantly photographed constantly outdoors for the last five years, this appears to be a truthful categorization. I have been an ethical vegan for over ten years. I am sharing the vast inspiration I have gotten in recent years and hope that I can impart vegan education in all that I do. I have learned infinitely much from Professor Gary L. Francione and, now, so many others. Go Vegan.

Geelong ball magnet Mathew Stokes could return to full training as early as next week.
Stokes injured his ankle against Gold Coast in round 14, with Saturday's AFL match against Melbourne to be his third game on the sidelines.
"Ligaments are hard - you have to wait for them to heal but this one seems to have turned a corner," Geelong physio Mark Young said on the club website.
"He's had a couple of runs now and he'll look to join the main group next week. We expect he's about two or three (weeks) away."
Stokes had been one of the Cats' best in the opening half of the season.
Josh Caddy, who will play his 50th game when the Cats tackle the Demons at the MCG, is still gaining match fitness after breaking his foot in an innocuous training incident.
Caddy was the substitute in the first two AFL matches he played after overcoming the injury, but returned to the starting side last Sunday.
"That was my first full game in the AFL since round three against Collingwood," Caddy said of the last-start win over the Western Bulldogs.
"I started well and drifted out of the game.
"The focus for me personally is to be a bit more consistent - probably for the side (it's the same). We've played really good footy in patches and some poor footy as well."

I want to record two people in a video interview situation using two Radio Shack lavalier mikes bringing the signal into my PC through the USB port. Anyone know of an inexpensive audio mixer that will do the job?
This one goes for about $180: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/1204FX.aspxhttp://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/behringer-xenyx-x1204usb-usb-mixer-with-effectshttp://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/X1204USBhttp://www.zzounds.com/item--BEH1204USB

This one goes for about $100: http://www.peavey.com/products/index.cfm/item/699/116922/PV%26nbsp%3B6%26nbsp%3BUSBhttp://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/peavey-pv-6-usb-compact-usb-mixerhttp://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=601120&is=REG&Q=&A=detailshttp://www.zzounds.com/item--PEVPV6http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/PV6
All these mixers have USB outputs, preamps, phantom power, and at least 2 mic inputs.
All the stores I listed are ones I've personally done business with and have had no problems.
Wow! Terrific! Thanks much!
One more question. As I mentioned above, I'm considering using two Radio Shack lavalier mikes with the mixer @ $32.99http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102927
On the other hand Amazon is selling the Audo-Technica at a nice discount @ $19.32.
I'd need adapters to plug either one into the mixer.
Any thoughts about these choices?
I've never been impressed with radioshack equipment. Adapters and bare wire from them are fine, though a little pricey at times.
Audio-Technica is decent, but I've only tended to use their equipment stands and cables.
If it is a choice just between the two, I'd do with Audio-Technica. However--I can't quite tell if they are designed for use with a battery pack transmitter, or if they can be plugged into a mixer. In any case, I wouldn't expect too much from either one.
I might go with a lav from Shure, but you won't be able to get something cheap. The lowest price for a lav mic is around $80 (a Shure WL93), and I'm not quite sure how that one behaves, as I have not used it.
I'd recommend trying to find an AV/recording forum to ask these questions on, rather than a web development forum to help you find the most appropriate equipment.
Thanks. All good advice.

SHELBYVILLE – The rankings meant little.
The standings? That is a different story.
Anderson County, a team ranked among the state's Top 10 girls' basketball teams in the pre-season and still in the Top 20 in both major computer polls, looked anything but a team worthy of such a high ranking at Collins last Friday.
It really didn't matter.
The Anderson County High School wrestling team continues to turn in an impressive year under first-year coach Graham Carlton.
The Bearcats, now ranked as high as 13th in the state, followed a second place finish in the Woodford County Invitational with a second-place finish in the Kentucky Wrestling Coaches' Association Region 2 Duals, held Friday and Saturday at LaRue County.
Anderson advances to the state duals meet, to be held on Jan. 28 at Henry Clay High School in Lexington.
Somerset, a team that, like Anderson County, is enjoying success a year after struggling, ended the Bearcats' 12-game winning streak with a 60-50 win in the McDonald's Classic at Adair County High School on Saturday.
(Editor's note: Anderson County High School boys' soccer coach Brett Morris contacted Anderson News sports editor John Herndon about the death of Nick Pezzi, the program's first coach and Morris' high school coach. When asked for some comments, Morris replied with the following note, which has been edited.)
Anderson County High School's first soccer coach, Nick Pezzi, passed away on Thursday, Jan. 5.
Italo "Nick" Pezzi, the first boys' soccer coach at Anderson County High School, passed away last Thursday in Lexington. He was 70.
A native of Italy, Pezzi was pegged to lead the Bearcat soccer program when it was formed in 1988.
Already known in Lexington soccer circles, Pezzi quickly became a beloved figure among soccer enthusiasts in Anderson County.
I would like to talk with the person that came up with the phrase, "It's a long season."
Eriel McKee scored 22 points, pulled down 14 rebounds and blocked five shots to lead Anderson County to a much-easier-than-expected 58-32 win over visiting Mercer County in girls' basketball action Tuesday night.
SHELBYVILLE – Jay Smith banked in a 3-pointer as time expired to give Anderson County a 50-47 win over 30th District rival Collins Friday night.
With the Bearcats having the ball in the backcourt and 1.3 seconds to play, Smith curled around a screen by Spencer Ruggles, took an out-of-bounds pass from Seth Carmichael, then rattled the rim with the game-winner to keep Anderson's improbable season-opening winning streak alive.
The Anderson County High School boys' basketball team is well represented in the intial statistics report on the 2011-12 season released by the Kentucky High School Athletic Association.
As a team, Anderson is second in scoring margin, behind Bishop Brossart. Anderson is beating teams by 19.8 points a game.
Anderson County jumped on Henry Clay early and never looked back in posting a 61-35 victory Tuesday night at Anderson.
The Lady Bearcats led 21-10 after a quarter, then kept extending the lead for their sixth win in their last seven games. Eriel McKee led Anderson with 23 points, 10 steals, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.
Corrin Robinson added 10 points, eight coming in the first quarter.

James Hyland, 19, killed Michael Fardon with blows to the face and then threw him down a concrete stairwell a week after they met in a Northampton bar.
Hyland pleaded guilty at the town's Crown Court to murdering the factory worker in an alley on 15 July, 2006.
The court heard Hyland lashed out at Mr Fardon while in a state of "confusion about his sexuality".
The court heard both men were seen on CCTV footage leaving a pub in the town before heading into an alley for sex.
Second attack
Hyland, described as a junior discus thrower, admitted knocking out Mr Fardon with blows to the face before tipping his body over railings into a concrete stairwell.
Jailing him for life and imposing a minimum term of 12 years, Judge Charles Wide QC said: "After a sexual encounter you lashed out.
"While he was completely unconscious, utterly unable to defend himself, you tipped him over the rails. You left him there and made no attempt to call for help."
Mr Fardon, from the Moulton area of the town, was killed by fractures to his face and head, a post-mortem examination revealed.
Gregory Purcell, prosecuting: "Mr Hyland, in a state of disgust and confusion about his sexuality, lashed out at Mr Fardon."
William Harbage QC, defending, said Hyland was a "confused young man" who was unsure about his sexuality and who had seen his dreams of joining the RAF dashed by a heart condition.
Hyland was jailed for 16 months, to run concurrently, for attacking a man in the toilets of another gay bar in Northampton, two weeks before he murdered Mr Fardon.

Welcome to Jim Hogg County Fair March 17-18, 2017| Hebbronville, TX
The Jim Hogg County Fair is the longest running festival in the county. The Jim Hogg County Fair was officially organized under the name "The Jim Hogg County Fair Association" on May 24, 1985 however the annual event dates back much further. In 1985, Mr. E.G. Nava was elected as its first president. In this same year, Marissa Ramirez was crowned Miss Jim Hogg County Queen. Shortly thereafter, in 1987, The Little Mr. and Miss Jim Hogg County was introduced with Albert Pena and Leslie Garza taking the title. In 1988 The Jim Hogg County Fair Association began recognizing local ranchers for their continuous support and generosity and named Ascension Martinez as the Rancher of the Year. With no permanent facilities to call its own, the County Fair used whatever facilities it could to hold its show. In its early days, the American Legion once a year became known as the Fairgrounds.

Stability at last in DRAM market?
4 comments post a comment
A tectonic shift from PCs to mobile devices is remaking the DRAM market, moving a historically volatile business onto firmer, safer ground.
the end of next year, the DRAM industry will have shrunk to only three
major players, says Howard: Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. While there
are other DRAM makers, they don't own the technology and have to license
it from these three, he notes. The DRAM manufacturers in Taiwan, for
example, are still hanging on. "They just refuse to go out of business."
The DRAM vendor in the best position is Samsung, which has about 40 percent of the overall DRAM market and 60 percent of the mobile DRAM market, according to Howard. It also has a stable customer -- itself, in Samsung Mobile. Hynix SK has 22 to 24 percent of the overall DRAM market and 22 to 24 percent of the mobile DRAM market. Micron historically had about 13 percent of the overall DRAM market and only 4 percent of mobile DRAM. It is fixing that by acquiring Elpida, which has about 20 percent of the mobile DRAM market.
With the right balance of PC DRAM, mobile DRAM, and specialty DRAM, these companies should be in a more stable market. All three of them also make NAND flash as well. And even though NAND is made in different fabs, "if they feel there's way too much capacity in DRAMs, they could transition those fabs to produce NAND," according to Howard.
In some ways, the NAND market has the elasticity of the old DRAM market, in the sense that OEMs can always stuff more memory into their products. That's particular true for the solid-state drive market, notes Howard. On the other hand, the mobile device market doesn't have that flexibility. Once a smartphone or tablet is designed, it's not so simple to just add more NAND memory.
Nevertheless, "the elasticity component of the DRAM market is shrinking [as the PC market shrinks], whereas the elasticity component of the NAND market is growing."
Taken together, these factors should help the remaining memory companies build a better business future. "They aren't out of the woods yet, but long-term I think the industry is going to be a lot healthier," Howard adds. By 2014, "we anticipate this being a tidy, profitable industry."

NIACC sophomore Matthew Don has signed a national letter of intent to play basketball next season at Cameron University, an NCAA Division II school located in Lawton, Okla.
Don, a 6-foot-8 post from London, England, averaged 11.7 points per game and led the ICCAC with 9.0 rebounds per game.
"Matt had a terrific 2 years at NIACC," NIACC coach Mark Mohl said. "He has been one of the leading rebounders and shot blockers in our league the last 2 years.
"He has a very versatile offensive game in that he can step out and shoot the 3 but also has good post moves. He has had two terrific years at NIACC as a student, person, and player."
Cameron University was 11-15 overall and 5-9 in the Lone Star Conference in the 2013-14 season under coach Nate Gamet.
"He will fit in well at Cameron and be an outstanding addition to their program," Mohl said. "They are an outstanding D2 school in a very tough league."
Don's 2013-14 season highs
Points – 28 vs. Snead State (Alabama) (11-1-13).
Rebounds – 15, three times.
Assists – 4 vs. Kirkwood (3-4-14).
Steals – 3 vs. NDSCS (12-8-13).
Don's career highs
Points – 28 vs. Snead State (Alabama) (11-1-13).
Rebounds – 15, three times.
Assists – 4 vs. Kirkwood (3-4-14).
Steals – 3, twice.
Notes: Don scored 622 career points with 468 career rebounds … Don had 16 career double-doubles.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/8/2012 (1840 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Normally, there is a game within the game, the days that precede the bye week.
Truth be told, if you ask me, they should aptly rename tonight's contest the Attention Deficit Bowl, because as is often the case, football is the last thing on the minds of all the young professional players about to get six days off, and jet across North America less than 12 hours after the contest closes.
Win, lose or draw, the majority of players on CFL rosters on the bye week will escape the football environment early tomorrow morning and leave behind the scrutiny and evaluations of this world. The problem is, some players escape it before they even leave their city of employment.
After 15 years of experience with bye weeks I have come up with a formula to predict success or failure on the eve of it.
Take the average age of the players on your team, multiply that by the mental age of these same players, subtract the number of Americans flying out tomorrow morning to international destinations, and add the winning percentage of the record you currently sit at. The higher the sum between the two teams, the better chance of winning the game.
In all seriousness, though, from my first year of pro football to my last, things like training camp and bye-week schedules have gotten progressively more relaxed.
Dave Ritchie, my first coach in the CFL, used to hate the bye week, and by proxy made us almost despise it too. He was always concerned about how we would play going into one, and be even more worried about how we would play coming out of it.
To alleviate his concerns, Ritchie took it upon himself to inconvenience as many people as possible with his bye-week schedules. You would never get it more than a week ahead of time, and when you did it would change according to whether we won or lost -- in line with his whimsical nature.
At the best of times, he would schedule a couple of practices in the middle of the bye week.
At the worst of times, he would pretend it didn't exist at all, and have you practise right through it.
But these are conditions of the past. Players, these days, expect a schedule of their bye week in training camp. If you, as a coach, change that schedule, prepare to be bombarded with complaints, threats and insolence across the board.
Of all the games I've seen this franchise participate in over the last decade or so before a bye week, the urgency to get this one right is at unprecedented levels.
If the Blue Bombers win, they are halfway back out of the road trip hole they dug themselves in the first four weeks.
If they lose however, the Bombers start their bye week at 1-5, last in the CFL, and a mile from the momentum they built in a victory against Edmonton. If there was ever a game that the Bombers needed the undivided attention and focus of their players on the eve of a bye week, this is one of them.
Talking to some veterans, however, it appears this may not be as a big a challenge as in years prior.
Brady Browne, the new starting safety for the Bombers, assured me that the looming bye week is not as big a deal as it used to be.
"Usually, I would agree with that," he said. "But it snuck up on us so quickly this year, I don't think it's affecting the guys as much as other years might have. Usually, by that ninth game, guys have been talking about it (the bye week) for like two weeks."
Terrance Edwards, the elder statesman of the team, echoed those sentiments.
"It used to be, with the young guys, they were just trying to get up out of here around the bye week. But the coaching staff did a good job letting the guys know how important this game is. I really haven't heard that many guys talking about the bye this year, other than, of course, how much a ticket costs to get out of here."
So there you have it. When it comes to being dialled in tonight, this team appears primed and impervious to the dark enticements of the week off.
All they need now, is for the visiting Alouettes to be preoccupied with changing their flights to leave out of Winnipeg, and to be looking ahead to visiting family and friends over the next six days.

John McCain Chooses Sarah Palin — A WOMAN — As His Running Mate
Hey! Did you watch the last night of the Democratic National Convention and see Barack Obama's history making acceptance speech? Pretty powerful stuff huh? Well, not wanting to be overshadowed, John McCain woke up this morning and decided to make a little history of his own, by choosing a WOMAN as his running mate. While Geraldine Ferraro was the Democratic nominee for Vice-President alongside Walter Mondale, the Republican party has never had a female VP nominee. So, let's take a closer look at McCain's pick — Alaska Governor Sarah Palin — and see whether her record has the potential to swing angry Hillary Clinton supporters across party lines.
1. Elected in 2006, Palin, at 44, is the youngest and the first female Governor of Alaska.
2. She's a former beauty pageant winner, having won the Miss Wasilla pageant in 1984 — her talent was the flute and she also won Miss Congeniality. She went on to come in second in the Miss Alaska pageant that same year.
3. While she was born in Idaho, her hobbies suggest she's a true Alaska girl at heart. A lifetime member of the National Rifle Association, Palin likes to hunt, ice fish, and ride snowmobiles.
4. Palin is married to her high school sweetheart, Todd, and has five children. Her eldest, at 18, enlisted in the Army on September 11, 2007. So, like her adversary Joe Biden, she can speak to what it's like having a child deployed in Iraq.
5. Her record on social issues is quite conservative: she's adamantly anti-choice and is a member of the group "Feminists For Life"; she opposes gay marriage and under her leadership Alaska was one of the first states to pass a Constitutional ban on gay marriage. She did, however, pass legislation that granted State of Alaska benefits to same-sex couples.
6. In the last few months of this year, Palin has been under investigation for ethics issues. Walter Monegan was dismissed as Commissioner of Public Safety by Palin in July, a dismissal that he says was the result of his refusing to fire State Trooper Mike Wooten, who is currently embroiled in a bitter custody battle with Palin's sister. Wooten also says that the government, under Palin, has improperly released his employment files in his divorce case. Palin maintains that there has not been an abuse of power in her administration.
7. A poll released in 2008 shows Palin's approval rating to be around 80%.
So what do you think? Good choice? Bad choice? Smart choice? Are you impressed that McCain picked a woman to be is running mate? Or do you think it's a desperate attempt to swing female voters to his side? Tell us how you feel in the comments!

The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed.

10 Golden Rules for Choosing an ERP Solution
Ziff Davis
Posted Date:
Enterprise resource planning, or ERP, systems are intended to provide data to help employees make better decisions (and make them faster), to make your core business processes more efficient, and to help reduce costs across your organization. As complex as ERP is, solutions have become more user-friendly, and, in the case of hosted ERP offerings, easier to deploy. Still, ERP remains an expensive, time-consuming implementation that requires a lot of planning. Before you can choose a solution, you must consider your organization's business goals, expectations about the benefits you'll gain from ERP, and the business processes that will be integrated with the ERP solution. Following these 10 golden rules will help you choose an ERP system for your organization.

I've been a contributing writer for the Observer since 1999 through four waves of editors and massive changes in my own life; it's one of the constants, a rock. How fitting that a publication, less so a place, would be a pivot point for me.

Know These Lower Back Pain Facts First
Learn some of the many different causes, exercises, special stretches, pain relief, and treatment options
Does Localized Lower Back Pain Indicate a Serious Problem?
Lower back pain is common. However, there are instances when this discomfort could be the result of more serious health issues. Knowing some of the different causes can help you determine if you need immediate medical attention.
Characteristics of Pain
There are different characteristics that describe pain. Pain can be different in intensity, type, timing, and location. Doctors will sometimes use the LOCATES pain scale to help you describe the pain to ensure the most accurate information is collected to ensure a more precise diagnosis.
LOCATES stands for….
- Location
- Other Symptoms
- Character
- Aggravating and Alleviating Factors
- Timing
- Environment
- Severity
Your doctor will ask where the pain is located. Is it on your left side, middle, or right side? Does it travel to other areas of your body or does it remain in one area? Other symptoms can include numbness, nausea, and/or weakness.
The character section of the scale consists of determining whether it is throbbing, dull, sharp, or burning. The aggravating and alleviating factors consist of determining what improves or worsens your pain. Does the pain lessen when you rest or does it worsen when you bend over? These are just a couple questions your doctor may ask you.
The timing of your pain is important. How long has the pain lasted? Is it constant or does it come and go at different times? The length of time will determine if it is acute or chronic. The most common is acute pain that lasts a few days up to a few months. Chronic pain generally lasts a few months and can even last for years.
The environment is where an incident happened that could have caused the discomfort. Did something specific happen at work, at home, or in any other area? Severity is how intense the pain is. The majority of the time your doctor will ask you to rank the intensity from 0 to 10.
Common Causes for Left Side and Right Side Lower Back Pain
Most of the causes for pain in these areas are similar. For example, when you suffer from a kidney infection, you could actually experience pain in either the left or right side depending on which side the kidney is infected.
Here are some common causes for pain in the lower sides of the back:
- Injury
- Lumbar Strain
- Pregnancy
- Breathing Pain
- Muscle Imbalance
- Herniated Disc
- Sciatic Nerve Compression
- Osteoporosis
- Spondylolysis
- Kidney Stones
- Kidney Infection
- Poor Posture
- Poor Form during Exercise
- Heavy Lifting
- Fibromyalgia
- Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
- Quadratus Lumborum Trigger Points
- Cauda Equine Syndrome
The most common causes for pain in either the lower right side or left side are injury and lumbar muscle strain. However, there are a number of different reasons to consider. Lumbar strain is microscopic tears of the fiber in your tendons, ligaments, or muscles. This often results in favoring a specific side. Muscle imbalance can be the result of tightness and inflammation in your muscles and tissues. They can put pressure on the nerves resulting in soreness.
When you are suffering from a kidney infection or kidney stones, you will feel tenderness in the area above your hips. You will likely experience burning when you urinate. Contact your physician right away if you have a fever or notice blood in your urine.
When your discs bulge, pressure is put on the nerves. This can result in compression of the sciatic nerve causing severe pain from your lower back to your buttocks down your leg. This is almost debilitating.
You may experience achiness on your lower left/right side during pregnancy. When your uterus expands, the gravity of your body will shift. Your abdominal muscles will stretch and weaken during this time. Your posture could change straining your lower back. If you experience more severe pain, this could be the result of your uterus pressing on a nerve. Your joints and ligaments that are attached to your pelvic bone could loosen. This could cause pain while sitting, standing, and walking for longer periods.
There are a few reasons why you could be experiencing pain when you breathe. Muscle spasms can be an indicator of a pulled diaphragm muscle causing radiated pain throughout your abdomen, back, and chest. More serious causes include cardiac and/or pulmonary issues. Because you cannot diagnose this problem without testing, it is highly recommended that you talk to your doctor.
Sacroiliac joints are paired joints that are located between the sacrum and hip bones in the lower back. Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction occurs when there is too much or too little movement within either of these joints. Too much movement could result in a lax or sprained joint. Too little movement could result in a locked or hypo-mobile joint. The balance of your pelvis can be affected and can cause pain in either side depending on which side is affected.
Quadratus Lumborum muscle trigger points can cause pain in both sides depending on which side is affected. This is a quadrilateral shaped paired muscle. It helps to maintain your body's posture. There are trigger points or hyper-irritable knots located within a tight band of muscle. This pain can cause reduced range of motion in that particular muscle.
Cauda Equine Syndrome occurs when the spinal cord is directly compressed and disc material expands into the spinal canal thus compressing the nerves. This is a serious condition and can cause permanent damage if not treated.
Although the causes for lower back pain cannot be truly determined without testing and proper diagnosis from a doctor, there are some specific reasons for pain in the sides rather than in the middle of your lower back. If the pain persists, it is important to visit your doctor. If you gather the information based on the LOCATES scale, you will be able to give the information necessary to ensure a more accurate diagnosis.

I have pain down my right side lower part moves to my middle lower back and my right leg too.
Im feeling that right now what could it be
I've exsperienced severe back pain in the middle of my back left and right side for the last 4 months I've had 2 scans blood tests all clear I am on pain killers that take the edge of but some days I can't walk or move for hours the doctors can't find any thing and I'm getting more upset I can't do any thing I have 2 young children and I had a twin pregnency could this be something to do with it ?
So horrible
Please help
I wish a Dr. Could help you. I know you have your hands full. But it will get better. Sound like the twins may have had something to do with it. Sweet little things. When I had my son, he weighed 10 lbs. 1 oz. When I was putting him in bed, my back just went out and I just fell back in chair. Had to relax for a bit and rest. Had trouble for awhile but evidently muscles in back grew stronger over time. No trouble at all now. This may be your pain, where you carried weight so long. Since they cannot find internal problems, it just might be muscles in back tightening up. If you do not get better find another Dr. And I hope and pray they will help you.
ive been havin pain in my right side lower bk for a few years now but as years have gone by its got worse its a throbbing and heavy pain if im honest im too scared to go tell my gp as my dad had kidney disease is it would that make me high risk ??

Mine started with a very sharp pain in my left side. But the pain now is also sometimes in the right. It is worse when i stand or walk..i know what you mean about the heaviness. I just retired and this is ruining my fun 🙁
What did you find out Janie? I am having these same symptoms and went to the walkin clinic this morning but they said they could not treat me that I had to see an Orthopedic doctor. The earliest appointment I could get is this Friday and I am in horrible pain. Plus I am supposed to leave Saturday to go on a cruise for my honeymoon. Need help!! ASAP!!!
Am havig lower back pain at the left side, the pain is very mild sometimes not noticable and sometimes get on d high side but not very painful, but makes me very uncomfortable nd sometimes weaken my left leg. These has been going on 4 more than a yr nw, at 1st i didnt pay attention 2 it cos it was mild nd comes nd go, but its recently becoming a constant thing.. Pls i dont knw wat 2 do.
I'm 38w5d and I'm having a dull/sharp pain that comes and goes from the middle to lower part of my back on just the left side
That last one (Mercy Paul) sounds like sciatic pain. I suffered this during one of my pregnancies. Pain occasionally shoots down your leg/feels weak. Physiotherapist did deep tissue treatment (thumb pressed and held deep into the muscle in my left buttock, to be precise). I felt the muscles relaxing as she did it. They had been inflamed and pressing on the nerve. It sorted it out pretty much then and there. Good luck with it.
I'm a 51 year old white male. During the past 6 months I've had lower back pain that moves a little from the lower left to lower right, and sometimes doesn't hurt at all. Lately, after learning some stretches (ergoscue) my lower back feels great . . . . but now I've had upper back and chest pain that moves from side to side and varies in severity. Especially bad the past few days since I have a chest cold and coughing is painful. A coupe times during the past 6 months I've also found a slight stiff neck on one side that gradually shifts to the other side and eventually dissipates. My doctor's reaction? "It's the age." An answer I don't particularly subscribe to since I know plenty of folks my age and older that don't have these pains. I'm a music teacher that is fairly active, in good physical shape otherwise. Any help?
I have been having very sharp pains in my lower left back right above my left buttock. It feels almost like some sort of strain but it only occurs during certain movements like bending over or when I sit up after lying down. It's excruciating pain and so very annoying. It feels like something is being pinch. Maybe a nerve or something? It's been going on for a few months now. Does anyone know what it sounds like it could possibly be? Is it fixable? It occurs everytime my upper body's muscles are being used to sit up or even lay back down. If anyone has ever experienced this and has any advice please share!
Hey, got up this morning, and I felt like I was lifting weights with my back right above my left and right buttocks on the side, and in the back. I think you said its worse when you stand up yeah for me too. you know what I believe, at least for me. just had a physical everything was good not well not just but in November 2014, my numbers were all good, blood urine all good. but I've been sweeping a lot I have wooden floors in my house and they're all screwed up, and I've been sweeping bending over, sweeping it in the tray, standing up throwing it away so I believe its muscle strain. maybe it's different for you but you know that's an idea for you. I hate to see people in pain, I've gone through two knee replacements, my right hip is replaced and I'm just hoping it is muscle strain I just put something on and I'll let you know and you keep me updated if you go to the doctor okay. you know just FYI painkillers with acetaminophen or ibuprofen like vicodin 10 over 325 blah blah blah that's bad for you I think
anyway. I mean, if I were you, I would try to just get like 5 or 10 milligram gram roxys. You know the old school ones small ones just with complete medicine, no other crap I don't believe in non narcotic painkillers,I just don't. too many side effects 1 800 bad drug that's what I call non narcotic painkillers. Like I said, if U want, keep in touch with me Brittany, curious about your condition I'll let you know if mine go away I m no sweeping for a while .
Feel better!!
I had pain in my lower back side first and now along wid it i have pain on both my lower abdomen as well.. wt may b d rsn??,?
I've had two surgeries on my lumbar , L-4 , L-5 , S-1 fusion with two rods and 5 screws. It happened from a fall and I experienced pain down my left leg and my left testicle felt like someone was yanking on it. The surgery helped my leg and groin pain. 15 years has passed and I just suffered an injury to my right side , with the exact symptoms to groin and leg. I tried all the injections with no relief (Injections have never worked for me). I have been told I need a stenosis surgery to clean the canal to widen the canal. I have an appointment with Dr. Alexander Vaccaro at Rothman Institute in Philadelphia. I thought when I had the fusion done , I would never experience groin or leg problems even on the opposite side. I guess the pain is coming from another disc , like L-1. I Will find out March 3rd what my options are.
I have lower right and left back pain, sometimes it is so bad I cannot get out of bed, I do have a spinal injury from 2 years ago, but this pain on both sides came about 1 week ago, it get worse when I try to sleep and get up each morning, very painful.
For two years I have had pain on my left side. It is in my hip muscle and also if I press right above my waist on the left side of my back it puts a pain down to my hip. I have had a shot in my SI joint without very little relief. I have also gone to a chiropractor which doesn't seem to help. I really don't know what else to do. The MRI a year ago showed some stenosis but not bad enough for surgery
I have pains on both sides of my back..the hip areas. I thought UTI was the cause but I don't hace problem in urinating or discomforts. Don't have fever or experience vomiting. Nor blood in my urine.
I remember I started exercising the other day Could this be just muscle pains? I am suffering for three days now. Help. !
I have severe pain in my lower left back side . The pain triggered when i walk 50 meters and beyond, whem i stand for mpre than 5 minutes, whem i go to cold places like the mall. The strange thing is the pain disappears when I sit down. I had this condition for 8 years now. I tied traction and stretching and nothing seems to work. MRI shows slight bulging of disc between 4th and 5th lumber. I had 2 months physical therapy including sessions in traction machine but no pain alleviation even slightly. What could be my problem and what treatment to follow? thanks for your advise. …..alan
Just know….those injections that doctors offer , like epidural injections , ARE NOT FDA approved. And a doctor can take a weekend course to perform them. If injected in a wrong area , the pain is more than anyone can imagine.
Research and look on youtube of people who had received injections and had negative results.
I have had facet blocks , epidurals etc , with zero success. And I won't get them ever again.
Good luck
hi, I am having pain in my right lower back area near the top of my hip. it hurts constantly but is at its worse when I get out of bed in the morning. standing straight up is the hardest and most painful. after standing up the pain eases but is still there. while in the process of standing up it hurts worse if I move my right leg or lift the right leg off the floor. getting up off the toilet is very painful. this pain is localized in one spot. my leg does not hurt its just in the one spot. while bending or standing up it is very painful. very sharp pain. anyone with this pain that can offer any insight is greatly appreciated. thank you
I have been having lower back pain for some time now, the other day I stopped in at my brothers who is a PA I asked him to look at my left side and explained my symptoms he told me my hips was out of line., so he had me stand up against the door and he took my left leg and slowly raised it up until it would start hurting and held it there for about 5 seconds he repeated this about 4 times then all at once he lifted it up real fast and high and immediately the pain stopped no kidding, so now when I start getting pain in my left side I have my husband do this and the pain goes away… Hope this helps
