President Obama will address Congress and the nation on February 12.
There's the old joke about a president (politician) speaking in a pasture to a group of American Indians. After every assertion he made, the Indians all yelled "oodwa" in unison. The politician thought they were applauding him, but afterward, as the he walked toward his waiting limousine with the chief, the chief pointed down and said, "Careful, Mr. President, don't step in the oodwa."
Barry Obama may be the greatest speech reader of all time. He is smooth, articulate, and expressive, knows exactly how and where to emphasize, when to smile, and makes good jokes. However, once I began to see him as smug and arrogant, and once I realized how far to the left he is, I found him harder and harder to stomach. But many aren't afflicted with these feelings. His speech will be watched by many millions who no doubt like him. But, like his past ones, the president's State of the Union speech for 2013 is likely to be all oodwa.
What is the state of our union now? Well, we have lots of problems. I imagine we'll get a list of them from the president, such as: Our nation is afflicted with a lack of fairness, big time. The rich aren't paying their fair share. We need women in combat. We need Gays in the Boy Scouts, and we need Gay Boy Scout troop leaders – really good for America, especially if you want our boys to grow up Gay. We need comprehensive immigration reform, a.k.a. amnesty. We need new sources of energy (screw the old sources), and we need to invest (translation: spend) more in the economy.
The president is working really hard on all these problems. He'll gloss over the real problems. We'll get lots of words about how much he's done for us so far – the tax cuts he's made, how he saved the economy, etc. He'll claim the economy is finally coming out of the doldrums. He'll say the Affordable Health Care Act is going to really help, although we still need more (unspecified) medical reforms. He'll claim he's doing something about the deficit and the debt, but of course, he isn't. He'll likely mention entitlement reform, but in terms so vague that it won't be just kicking the can down the road, it will be kicking it out of the end zone.
The president would have made a really good snake oil salesman in the old west. If you want to understand how much of his speech is likely to be oodwa, it might be good to go back to his 2010 State of the Union speech, which you can read at ABC News or watch a Utube video of at CSPAN video library.
In that speech, he told lots of little stories, got lots of laughs, made lots of claims, and lots of promises which he couldn't keep (because we have a Congress, although he's working on that) and a few he did keep. He stretched statistics, lied a bit, and offered lots of gifts to the voters. He gave us many words and lots of oodwa.
I wish we could bring back an honest president for the State of the Union. George Washington, John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, U.S. Grant, Harry Truman, and Ronald Reagan are some I believe were honest. I think Reagan was the last totally honest president, although Carter and the Bushes may have been, but were in way over their heads.
An honest president would tell it like it is. We have many problems, and they need real solutions, not snake oil. The real state of the union is SNAFU (Situation normal, all ****ed up.) But, if things go as in the past, all we'll get is oodwa.

Quotes on the passing of Casey Kasem
LOS ANGELES (AP) — "It's a sad day for the broadcasting community and for radio listeners around the world. When I was a kid, I would listen to Casey Kasem's AT40 show every weekend, and dream about someday becoming a radio DJ. So when decades later I took over his AT40 countdown show, it was a surreal moment. Casey had a distinctive friendly on-air voice, and he was just as affable and nice if you had the privilege to be in his company. He'll be greatly missed by all of us." — media personality Ryan Seacrest
"Very sorry to hear of Casey's passing. Aside from being a Johnny Carson-esque staple in all our lives, Casey was always so personally kind to me. I still have a voicemail he left me years ago telling me how much he loved my new record at the time. He was gracious. And a class act." — singer Richard Marx
"Early this Father's Day morning, our dad Casey Kasem passed away surrounded by family and friends. Even though we know he is in a better place and no longer suffering, we are heartbroken. Thank you for all your love, support and prayers. The world will miss Casey Kasem, an incredible talent and humanitarian; we will miss our Dad." — Kerri, Mike and Julie Kasem
"For many, the multitalented Casey Kasem was the voice of popular music, and his long-running countdown program brought exposure for many of his fellow union members. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends, and may we all remember him best by 'reaching for the stars.'" — Ken Howard, president of SAG-AFTRA, which represents actors, DJs and other media professionals

After four and a half months the NFL season is down to four teams playing for a spot in the biggest spectacle in sports. I can remember many years when the conference championship games were better than the Super Bowl itself, this year's games have the potential to achieve that.
The NFC championship game is first up on Sunday with the 49ers and Falcons meeting in Atlanta. The 49ers looked very impressive last Saturday in defeating the Packers while the Falcons hung on for dear life against the Seahawks after building up a big lead in the first half. The Falcons defense is kind of spotty in my opinion but their offense is potent although the Seahawks did an excellent job of containing it in the second half. The 49ers are a very talented young team with an outstanding coach and are looking to erase last year's disappointment when they almost made the Super Bowl. I think this year they will make the Super Bowl and the Falcons season will come to an end. I expect a close game but I think the Falcons who I have said all year are the luckiest team in the NFL will finally see their luck run out on Sunday.
The AFC championship game has the potential of being a high scoring affair between two teams with a lot of firepower. The Patriots have been in these situations many times before and can come at you from a multitude of directions while the Ravens are a team who look to be on a mission. The Ravens have been up and down this year and have struggled for consistency at times but seem to have found it in the playoffs and have played two outstanding games so far. Both teams are very well coached and I see no reason why this couldn't be one of the best games of the year. If the Ravens and 49ers can both come up with victories on Sunday then the Harbaugh brothers would coach against one another in the Super Bowl which would mark the first time that two brothers have coached against one another in theNFL title game.
The Missouri Tigers men's basketball team played reasonably well in a victory over Georgia on Wednesday night with the team shooting much better although not up to the level they were earlier in the year. They next play Florida on Saturday in a very tough SEC road game where they will need to get back to playing the way they were a couple of weeks ago if they want to beat the Gators on their home floor.
The Truman State men's and women's basketball teams split their double header in Topeka against Washburn on Wednesday night but this time the results were reversed from what they have been of late. The women struggled against a very good Washburn team and came up on the short end of the score. Washburn has one of the better women's teams in this region and Truman proved they could hang with them and I truly believe that had this game been in Pershing the result would have been reversed. The men's team looked very impressive in beating a very good Washburn team in a game that saw the Truman men put together a very solid game on both ends of the floor. Both Truman teams will be at home on Saturday for games against Central Missouri State in what will be Central MO's last trip to Pershing before Truman leaves the MIAA at the end of this season.
The Kirksville High School basketball teams get back into action after having this week off with games against Booneville on Friday. The girls have a home game while the boys travel to Booneville. The boys have put several nice games together recently while the girls are clearly one of the best teams in the state of Missouri in my opinion.
The KHS wrestlers are in another tough tournament on Saturday as they travel to the Platte County tournament which is always one of the better tournaments in the state. With districts only being a couple of weeks away these tough weekend tournaments should put the KHS wrestlers in an excellent position to win many of the weight divisions as they will be familiar with most if not all of the others in the district.
We'll be back on Monday with another blog reviewing this weekend's sports action and looking ahead to what next week will offer. Please continue to support all the blogs on this site and thanks as always for supporting this one.
Have a terrific weekend!

Things about which we complain, and how to avoid that negativity.
We have a tendency to complain. Lately I've heard a number of people saying they're really tired of cold weather and ready for spring. We haven't really had much of a winter. I don't care much for cold weather, but really, can we expect warmer weather in January. It's too early for spring. It seems that February is often the coldest month. I don't know the statistics, but I have reconciled that it's folly to expect spring before March comes along. Traditionally we have a January thaw, so we'll probably get a bit of a break. As I write this on Sunday morning, we're headed into fifty degree weather on Monday and Tuesday.
Now we have the price of mailing a letter about which we can complain. Sunday the rate changed to forty-six cents for a first class letter. In September of 1975, the rate for a one ounce letter was ten cents. Can that be true? According to the history of postal rates, that's exactly true. Can you remember what your take home pay was in 1975? I can't. Maybe this is just a memory problem.
I marvel at our postal system. To think that I can put a letter in a mailbox in Kirksville that will arrive in California or Hawaii in a few days for only forty-six cents amazes me. I admit that when faced with the comparison of prices from past years, the rates do seem to have grown dramatically, but all of the increases have been from one to four cents at a time.
I bought a two story house in Iowa in about 1973. That house still stands. It has a two-car garage and a large front and back yard. There are six rooms that are typical old farmhouse size, about 16' X 16'. I don't remember when the house was built, but it came with central heating and all the other amenities one expects in current housing. That house cost $18,000 back in the mid-seventies. The question is whether or not the price of that house is comparable in growth to the cost of a stamp. The answer is yes. Of course, the house has had a number of upgrades through the years, but I should think it would be worth at least $70 thousand dollars in today's economy.
I just don't mind putting a forty-six cent stamp on a letter with the assurance that in a few days it will arrive at the location I have written on the envelope. It's really kind of a bargain, and if we lose the post office, does anyone really believe that UPS and FedEx are going to carry letters to the door of our friends and family for less than $.46? I use the post office partly to keep it going. I also use UPS and FedEx when I have larger packages. There seems to be room for all of them.
It's true prices on everything are higher than they used to be. Maybe our wages haven't kept pace with the rising cost of goods and services, but for people who are really budget conscious, there are all kinds of ways to cut financial corners and still have all the things one needs.
We have libraries where books can be checked out, reduced prices for movies at certain times of the day. I almost never go to a movie when one has to pay full price. I'm a senior citizen now, so I will always get the discount, but if I go to a late move, I'm sure to nod off and miss much of the film I've paid to see.
I guess my point is that, sure, things can be expensive, but at least we can get them. There have been periods of time in certain places where one might wait all day for a loaf of bread only to learn that the supply is depleted before they go to the front of the line. This is still true in many places in the world.
In America, we are extremely fortunate. We don't have to go far to find people who have lives much more difficult than our own. If you're feeling sorry for yourself, just look around until you find someone in a worse position. I can almost guarantee that you won't have to look long.
The grass is always greener on the other side. I'm not pretending that I never complain about anything. I'm frustrated when I can't find strawberries that are worth buying at any cost. Prices are high. The rate we get for our savings seems absurdly low. Why bother at all? The list goes on and on. One can always find something that is less than satisfactory.
At Thanksgiving time we make an effort to remember the things for which we are thankful. That's really a pretty good way to live all of the time. Maybe it would be good to start each day with a list of things that make us happy. We could even make two lists. One list could be about the unsatisfactory things in our lives. The other list, though, has to be about the good things in life. Wouldn't that be a good way to start out each day, or each week.
Most importantly, we just need to remember how extremely fortunate we are. I know that we all face disappointments, sorrows and displeasures, but I also know that we can all find something good about which we can spend an equal amount of time ruminating. When in doubt, always remember the old saying: "They told me, 'Smile, things could be worse.' So I smiled and things got worse."

Social media can be a wonderful, powerful tool that can connect us with people all over the world. It can also reunite us with friends of the past who�ve grown distant as life unfolds.
Facebook is the most revolutionary tool of its time. The lives of friends, family, coworkers and more are now just a computer screen away.
But it was during a recent Facebooking session that I came to a stunning revelation.
I hate my friends.
Let me explain.
As I sat on my couch Wednesday night watching the New York Yankees get embarrassed by the rival Boston Red Sox my anger had finally boiled over to the point where I had to vent. I immediately opened up my Facebook to post some incoherent rant about how much I hate the Yankees' general manager I was stopped by one of those mind-numbingly dumb eCards.
You know those 50s style cartoons that have some stupid phrase on it that make people think they�re so funny for posting it.
I scrolled down some more and saw that the next 14 posts on my feed were either shared from another person or links to something else. I have 186 friends on Facebook (I�m so popular, I know) and in total that day, I counted less than 10 posts that did not include a photo or link to something else.
I hate my friends.
I used to wake up everyday and check FB (that�s what the kids call it) to see what my friends were up to. Now I just assume nothing that really interests me is on there.
Don�t get me wrong, I�m guilty of sharing things on my wall too, but I try to limit the amount of photos and links I send out to all my friends. If I share one of my stories, I do it from my dedicated page that you have to �like� in order to see.
If the pictures and links weren�t bad enough, nothing is worse than the people who link their Twitter to Facebook and tweet 50 times a day. If I want to see your tweets, I will follow you on Twitter.
Don�t get me started on the awkward situation of someone friending you that you�ve met maybe three times and suddenly they want to know all about you. You can�t say no because then it�s uncomfortable when you see them at the next ice cream social.
And unless you�re pregnant or forced to watch a marathon 16 hours of �Dance Moms,� I don�t want to hear about how bad your day is everyday. Again, I�m guilty of complaining about things, but it�s not an everyday occurrence.
If it wasn't a mandatory thing for a journalist to have, I would probably delete my account, but as journalism moves toward a more online presence, maintaining a Facebook and knowing how to use it is an absolute must.
I don�t really hate my friends. Odds are if i accept your friend request, it�s because I actually enjoy speaking to you and that�s why I�m your friend on Facebook.
I use Facebook to connect and engage in conversation with people that I like talking with, not people who post 20 photos a day.
However, if you insist on posting a photo, the only acceptable photo or �meme� is Grumpy Cat. If you have not heard of Grumpy Cat, I suggest you look it up immediately, your life will be better for it.
Better yet, friend me on Facebook, I�ll post a picture on your wall.
I hate myself...

Organizers are gearing up for the 22nd annual Four State Farm Toy Show to be held on Sunday, at Carthage Memorial Hall, 407 S. Garrison.
Organizers are gearing up for the 22nd annual Four State Farm Toy Show to be held on Sunday, at Carthage Memorial Hall, 407 S. Garrison.
Show hours are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., admission is $2, children 10 and under are free. Door prizes will be give away every hour.
"We have vendors, there will be a vendor that sells parts for toys," said Don Polen, one of the organizers. "If you have a broken toy, he could have or can order parts for them. He also restores them, too. We have parts people, people that has collectible toys for sale."
The farm toys range in size from 32nd scale to 8th scale and could be anything such as toy tractors, toy farm equipment to even the pedal tractors.
"I like farm toys," Polen said. "I am an accumulator. I don't collect any one brand. My (co-organizer) in the show, Tim Bartley, he is a collector of International."
Polen did note that he does display his toy collection at Polen's Sales and Service in Asbury.
"I have most of them displayed at down at my shop, my repair shop," he said. "I have a shelf there that runs around the top of the office that has farm toys on it."
There will be around 20 different vendors at the show and all ages are welcome to attend. Typically, they have between 300 to 400 people attend the show. It is always held on the second Sunday of February at Carthage's Memorial Hall.
Asked if it was neat to see someone come in to the show and they have restored a farm tractor, Polen said yes.
"It is fascinating to see how well some people can restore them rascals back to original," he said. "Some of the them we call 'sandbox proven,' the ones that kids have played with, the paint is a little roughed up on them, we call them 'sandbox' proven."
When Polen travels around, he does go to some of the toy shows.
"If I see something that suites my fancy, I buy it," he noted. "We travel from toy show to toy show."
For more information, call Don Polen at 642-5561 or Tim Bartley at 642-5528.

Technical Support
Here are some helpful guides to keep your Canyon in top shape! Just pick the relevant category to find the solution to your issue.
How to clean your Canyon bicycle
Your Canyon is a premium bicycle. Nevertheless, just as with other vehicles, your Canyon requires regular care and maintenance that should best be carried out by a qualified technician. In addition, on lightweight bikes important components must be replaced at regular intervals. This will allow you to continue to enjoy your new bike and ride safely for many years to come.
Washing and care of your Canyon
Dried sweat, dirt and salt from winter use or sea air all damage your Canyon. Therefore, you should regularly clean all the components on your bike to protect them from corrosion. Under no circumstances should you use a high pressure washer on your Canyon.
This type of cleaning can have serious consequences:
The high pressure water jet can penetrate the bearing seals and get into the bearings themselves, thereby washing out the grease/lubrication which in turn increases friction. In addition, the bearings can begin to corrode. In time this results in damage to the surfaces the bearings run on and ultimately to the failure of the entire bearing unit. Pressure washers can also cause decals to come off.
It is significantly easier on the material if you use a garden hose pipe, or alternatively a bucket of water and a sponge or a large brush.
After your Canyon is dry you should treat the metal surfaces with hard wax (with the exception of brake discs and rim flanks in the case of rim brakes). Also apply a thin film of wax to the spokes, hubs, nuts and bolts. Components with smaller surfaces can be simply sprayed using a manual pump sprayer. Now polish off the waxed surfaces with a soft cloth so that they shine and repel water.
- When cleaning look out for cracks, scratch marks, deformations or discolorations in the material. If in doubt, please get in touch with our workshop. Replace damaged or defective components immediately and touch up damaged paint work.
- Do not allow cleaning materials or chain oil to come into contact with brake pads or braking surfaces on the rims! This can lead to brake failure and serious injury to the rider!
After completing any cleaning work on the chain you should check the chain and lubricate it if required.
Cleaning, care and maintenance, washing your bike.
Clean carbon parts with a soft cloth and clean water, if required add a little washing-up liquid. Tough oil or grease stains may be removed by using petroleum based cleaners. Never use cleaners which contain acetone, trichloroethylene or methyl chloride. Nor should you use chemical cleaning materials on your bike's paintwork. Use a soft cloth for cleaning Picture 1
To protect the paintwork and make it shine you may use wax. Polishes or paint cleaners contain solid particles which can damage the surface of the paint.

If you haven�t seen �The Hunger Games,� last year�s pretty darn good film, based on the also pretty good Suzanne Collins novel of the same name, you�ve got no business seeing this sequel, as you�ll be all at sea about what�s going on. While the rabid fans sitting around you � average age 14 � who saw the first movie seven times will be frantically caught up in the action in this one, you�ll be wondering what it is that you�re not in on.
Hold on, let�s start this again. If you haven�t seen �The Hunger Games,� no problem. This sequel ... I mean this remake ... OK, this rehash of that minor, but slick and nicely crafted film goes nowhere that the first film didn�t go. Both are about a society gone mad, which punishes its citizenry by using a lottery system to pick 12 boys and 12 girls (all between the ages of 12 and 18) to go up against each other in mortal combat, resulting in one living winner, and making everyone watching the event on TV � sort of a twisted �Survivor� � feel lousy that they had once risen up against the still horrible government.
The actors are the same, the first half of the film is nothing but a slow build to the burst of action partway through the second half, and it all ends by letting viewers know that a sequel is right around the corner. These sound like bad elements, but they actually worked the first time around. The major difference between the two films is that the original�s director, Gary Ross, knows what he�s doing behind the camera, and he loaded up the film with inventive style and a few sly winks. Ross was all set to continue on with the series, when he was suddenly let go, replaced by Francis Lawrence, who showed some hope with the underappreciated �Constantine,� then made the underwhelming �I Am Legend,� and the simply leaden �Water for Elephants.�
So here we are again with the anti-social Katniss (an apparently bored Jennifer Lawrence), her survival partner Peeta (the practically lifeless Josh Hutcherson), their drunken mentor Haymitch (thank goodness, a strong Woody Harrelson performance), and the villainous President Snow (a nicely snarling and smarmy Donald Sutherland).
The twist here is that the government�s plot to beat down the public is backfiring. Instead of becoming subservient, they�re getting angry. The idea of making kids kill other kids, then blaming the existence of these games on the populace is just not working. What to do? Hell, punish them even more! Make the survivors of previous bloody contests go up against other survivors. That�ll show �em!
Except this film forgets to show them showing them. The public is supposed to be watching the games at home on their TVs, and feeling badly about it all. Now, I wasn�t gawking at the screen, wide-eyed and open-mouthed (like that 13-year-old girl sitting next to me) for the entire, extremely long-feeling 146-minute film. I tend to close my eyes when I yawn, and on a few occasions I did peek at my watch to see how much longer I had to sit there. But I don�t recall one moment where anyone, except those nasty government folks, was watching a TV screen. Kind of misses the point of the exercise.
On the positive side, the film features some good visual effects � a killer fog is very creepy � and along with Harrelson and Sutherland, newcomer to the series Philip Seymour Hoffman serves up a nice �is he or isn�t he evil� routine.
But getting back to what�s wrong with this movie, there�s the ending to deal with. It comes soaring out of the blue, spewing forth so much information in so little time that it�s impossible to figure out what�s going on. Then just as suddenly, the script gives us reveal after reveal, suggesting that certain people and situations aren�t at all what they had seemed, yet not bothering to explain any of it. For those of you who just can�t wait to see what happens next, �The Hunger Games: Mockingjay � Part 1� comes out on Nov. 21, 2014. Me? I can wait.

Movie review: Hunger Games: Catching Fire'

Now would not be a good time to play the Crowder Lady 'Riders' softball team.
Now would not be a good time to play the Crowder Lady 'Riders' softball team.
Riding a current 8-game winning streak, the Lady 'Riders earned their keep on Saturday as they kicked off the Crowder Bash Tournament at the Joplin Athletic Complex with a 4-3 win over NJCAA No. 1 Iowa Western, and a 25-8 victory over Southeastern (Okla.) College. That was following a regular season sweep of Maple Woods on Friday.
After taking an early 2-0 lead in the first game on Saturday, the Lady Reivers scored three unanswered runs and took a 3-2 lead into the bottom of the seventh. There the Lady 'Riders would tie it on a single, and send the game into extra innings.
Playing with the international tiebreaker in effect, Crowder's Shelby Stuck began the bottom of the eighth at second base, advanced to third on a bunt and scored on a sacrifice fly by Brooke Hulsey with the winning run.
Later against Southeastern, the bats came alive as Hulsey popped three home runs to lead her team to victory.
"Allison Tonyan pitched a really good game (Saturday)," Crowder coach Lori Videmschek said. "We battled. We did what we needed to do. We didn't miss opportunities to score more runs. You can't afford to miss opportunities, especially when you're playing a team like Iowa Western.
"That's a big plus in our favor that the kids were able to bounce back and score that run in the seventh."
On Friday the Lady 'Riders swept Maple Woods in a doubleheader at Lady 'Riders Field 11-1, 14-4.
Crowder struck first in game one in the bottom of the second inning to take a 1-0 lead, but Maple Woods answered with a run in the third to tie it. Things broke loose in the bottom of the third, however, as the Lady 'Riders plated five runs to blow it open before adding five more in the fourth to win the game by run-rule in five innings.
Shyanne Nichols clubbed three hits and drove in four runs in the game to lead Crowder's offense, while Shelby Stuck, Brooke Hulsey, Morgan Coleman and Kala Crisp each had two hits. Jessica Neely, Carson Forge, Payton Appleberry and Alexis Navarro each had a hit. Crisp drove in two runs and scored twice, while Hulsey and Coleman each had an RBI and scored two runs.
Madison Barnes earned the victory on the mound after scattering five hits with three strikeouts in five innings.
Game two was also cut short by the run-rule as the Lady 'Riders scored 14 runs on 10 hits thanks to two big innings.
Trailing 2-0 in the second, Crowder exploded for six runs as they got to starter Michaela Hicks. The Lady Monarchs would get two of those runs back in the third to cut the deficit to 6-4, but the Lady 'Riders answered with eight more in the fourth to make it 14-4.
Crowder starter Ashton Worth earned the victory after allowing four runs (two earned) on four hits in five innings on the mound. Worth walked four and struck out two.
Meanwhile, the Lady 'Riders tagged Hicks for 14 runs (nine earned) on 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings. Neely went 2 for 3 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored off Hicks, while Nichols had two hits, drove in two and scored a run. Andrea Drake, Forge, Hulsey, Coleman, Crisp and Amber Taylor all had hits, while Taylor and Hulsey drove in two runs each.
The Lady 'Riders are back in action today against Indian Hills Community College at 9 a.m. and again against Maple Woods at 3 p.m.

Everyone likes sports! Well, not everyone, but anyone that doesn't like sports probably isn't reading this anyway. Massachusetts has always been a sports hub for adults, but there are all sorts of activities for the kids (and kid in all of us). For baseball fans large and small, Fenway Park has a family friendly tour and the Cape Cod League shows off baseball prospects not much older than kids. Teamwork is the name of the game at Deerfield River Rafting and Community Boating on the Charles River. The Hall at Patriot Place lets you relive the history of the New England Patriots, or for those too young to remember, live it for the first time. If golf is your family game of choice, Massachusetts is home to dozens of par-3 courses. Basically, Massachusetts is a home run, goal, and touchdown all rolled into one. High five!

Weekend Reading: Shako, Star Trek, James O'Barr & Curt Swan
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Movies, Independent,
Hi Everybody and happy holidays from all of us here at Comix 411! Here's a few things to sample if you're lucky enough to have some time off from work/school/play.
I really want a copy of Pat Mills and John Wagner's Shako, The Only Bear On The CIA Death List. "Shako is a true classic from the early days of 2000AD when blood-thirsty ultra-violence was a hallmark of an anarchic new comic."
Want to know what James O'Barr (The Crow) has been doing lately? He worked on Sundown, a Western horror tale now told in motion comics form.
Daniel Best looks at the new Star Trek teaser poster.
Are you looking for an inexpensive yet worthy graphics tablet? There are two options at Monoprice and Ray Frenden gives 'em a thumbs up.

Quote Of The Day: The Walking Dead
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Television,
"Time and time again we see events like what happened today with Glen Mazzara. They continue to disrespect writers, s*** on their audience and bury their network. Mazzara took the work-in-progress that was Walking Dead and turned it into a viable TV show with a future. Without him, that future is dim. Showrunners are not development executives, we're not cookie-cutter douchebags that you plug into a preexisting model. TWD will suffer. Even zombies need consistency."

Nintendo's TVii service now live on Wii U
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Nintendo, Wii U,
Nintendo's TVii service for the Wii U is finally out, so you can take advantage of Hulu Plus and Amazon Instant Video. TVii will act as a media hub, providing several streaming services as well as your cable and DVR boxes into a cross-searchable package. You may've noticed he absence of Netflix and TiVo, however, but they are coming early next year. Japan was lucky enough to receive the service when the Wii U launched on the 8th of December, while folks in the US had no such luck, for whatever reason.

Gamers observing a "Day of Cease Fire" in remembrance of Sandy Hook children, teachers
Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Culture, First Person Shooters,
In light of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary, the videogame community is putting down their controllers for a day of rememberance. Dubbed "The Day of Cease Fire" and organized by Antwand Pearman, editor-in-chief of GamerFitNation.com, the event is a way for gamers to show the world that they care.
Though some politicians have recently condemned videogames as one of the roots of the violence in our society, Pearman's event is by no means an extension of that misguided thought.
"There's no such thing as world peace," said Pearman. "But at least we as gamers can show respect for the victims of Newtown. It's just a statement. What better statement than to say gamers will put down their virtual weapons in honor of peace."
December 21st marks the day when gamers will stop playing online shooters, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Halo 4, and will take the day to pay respect to those who lost their lives just a week ago.
"A gesture like this shows that you give a damn," said Pearman. "I want gamers to unite and show they give a damn."

LifeProof Fre Review: Doomsday Proof
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Accessories, Apple, Cell Phones, Features, Product Reviews,
Some prefer to take it out in public naked. I seldom do, but sometimes I'm tempted to let it all out…my iPhone that is. Out of its case, of course. What were you thinking?
I have been a LifeProof user since the iPhone 4S, and it was a pretty good case for the type of protection I got in return. So, getting the LifeProof Frē for iPhone 5 seemed like a no brainer. I'm not one of those extreme thrill seekers to whom the case is advertised for. I'm more of the dropping the phone on the sidewalk while trying to scoop up the pooches' excrement type of guy or the dropping the phone in a bowl of cereal while totally fixated by the back of the box kind of person. But I digress. You're here to find out how the LifeProof Frē performs, so read on and we'll tell you if it's good enough to protect your iPhone 5.

Uterine cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in the uterus.
The uterus is a pear-shaped organ vital to child bearing. During a woman's fertile years, the uterus prepares each month to receive and nourish a fertilized egg. Hormonal changes direct the uterine lining to thicken. If no fertilized egg arrives, the uterus sheds the additional cells during menstruation. If the egg is fertilized, the developing fetus grows inside the uterus.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body (in this case uterus cells) divide without control or order. Normally, cells divide in a regulated manner. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue forms. This is called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors, which can invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor does not invade or spread.
The walls of the uterus are made up of the endometrium, the inner lining, and the myometrium, the muscular, outer lining. The most common type of cancer of the uterus begins in the endometrium. There are different types of endometrial cancers. All of these tumors involve the glandular cells. The most common type is endometrioid adenocarcinomas. The other types, papillary serous adenocarcinomas and clear cell adenocarcinomas, grow and spread more rapidly than endometrioid adenocarcinomas.
95% of uterine cancers are endometrial cancers. Other, rarer types of uterine cancers include:
- Stromal sarcomas, which develop in the stroma or connective tissue
- Carcinosarcomas or malignant mixed mesodermal tumors, which combine characteristics of endometrial cancer and sarcomas
- Leiomyosarcomas, which begin in the myometrium (muscle wall of the uterus)
The information provided here will focus solely on endometrial cancer. Treatment and prognosis for these rare forms of cancer differ from endometrial cancer.
Causes and Complications
The exact cause of uterine cancer is unknown. Exposure to the hormone estrogen without the counter-balancing effect of the progesterone hormone seems to be strongly related to the development of this cancer.
Excessive bleeding, or hemorrhage, is a complication of uterine cancer. The most common first sign of uterine cancer is passing blood from the vagina in a woman who has already gone through menopause.

Term for the New Orleans Saints who, depsite having years of losing streaks, kicked serious ass in 2006. Many people may rag on the Saints, but that's because their hemmorhoids are inflammed. The Saints probably have the most loyal fan base in NFL history, as their fans have "Kept the Faith" for over 30 years of futility.

Bettie Liebzeit climbed a ladder, hammer in hand, lined up a nail and hammered away.
Bettie Liebzeit climbed a ladder, hammer in hand, lined up a nail and hammered away.
The Hendersonville resident was taking part in the National Women Build sponsored by Lowe's with Habitat for Humanity at Dodd Meadow in Flat Rock. The event brought 40 women together on Saturday to put siding on one of the homes in the new neighborhood.
This was the third time that Liebzeit was taking part in the event. Learning the aspects of construction – a world that is foreign to her – is just one of the reasons she keeps coming back to help.
"Doing something like building a house is not something I do every day," she said. "It's a physical challenge."
Add that to the fact that she's helping "to build something for the community" and she gets to work with a "great" group of women, and the recipe is turning her into a construction guru.
The group of women was wide ranging in their experience. Half had taken part in the event before, and the other participants were new to the Women Build event, Habitat Finance Coordinator Elizabeth Shepherd said.
That was the case with Carol Scarborough. Scarborough and her husband retired to Hendersonville in January from Hatteras, and Scarborough was quick to check this off of her "things to do when you retire" list. Scarborough, a retired teacher, dove right into the project.
"I wish I could be more productive," she said. "I guess today is my learning day."
Habitat site facilitator Alan Stissel was there guiding the ladies through the day.
"Alan even showed me how to hold a hammer," Scarborough joked. "Now if he could teach me how to hammer a nail straight."
And that's the kind of thing that makes Stissel enjoy the day.
"As the ladies usually are, they're quite attentive to the process," he said. "They're quickly becoming skilled at what they're doing and will be ready for bigger challenges in the future."

Cannabis Irrigation Supply's range of preset pressure regulators offers exceptional outlet pressure control and provides consistent performance at flow rates from 1/3 to 12 gallons per minute. Cannabis Irrigation Supply's preset pressure regulators utilize a minimum of moving parts with a sophisticated diaphragm design that regulates itself in reaction to the overall system back pressure. The high performance pressure regulators are engineered with extra thick industrial strength sidewalls. All of our preset pressure regulators use high strength ABS plastic material and all joints are sonic welded into a tamper-proof and impact-resistant plastic housing. The pressure regulator is a device used to reduce and regulate the water pressure entering your drip or micro sprinkler irrigation system to that recommended for the system. Our wide range of high-end 3/4" preset pressure regulators are pressure-reducing devices expressly designed for use in in-line pressure applications. Cannabis Irrigation Supply's line of preset pressure regulators is used for residential, commercial and agricultural applications.
|Thread Type
Installation for Preset Pressure Regulator
Use the pressure regulator for your irrigation system and install the device after the filter. Choose the correct thread (hose or pipe). The pressure regulator should never be installed on a main line where the device is under constant pressure. In this situation, we recommend installing the pressure regulator after the valve.
Note: A common misconception is that turning a valve or faucet down will reduce the downstream pressure, but this is incorrect; turning the water down only reduces the flow, not the pressure. The pressure remains high.
Most household water pressures are anywhere between 40 PSI and 120 PSI, with some homes even higher. Typically homes will have a pressure regulator (before the water goes to the pipe inside the house that is set at 40 to 70 PSI). Drip irrigation systems are designed to work at an even lower pressure with optimal pressure for a drip system between 20 and 30 PSI, and for drip tape 10 to 25 PSI. If the system is at higher pressure, a problem may occur with the drip emitters, drip tape, micro sprinklers and the fittings such as drip emitters popping off, higher flow from the drip emitters, micro sprinkler components blowing out of the drip tubing and/or lower uniformity. To achieve the proper pressure at the drip lateral a pressure regulator or adjustable pressure regulator may be required.

This headstone marks the grave of my great grandfather Joseph Musgrove. Also his son Joseph and daughter Isobel.
My great grandfather was born 1st December 1866 in Kendal, Westmorland. His parents were Harrison Musgrove and Jane Rooking. From what I have been able to establish Joseph was the youngest of at least five children.
His first occupation described on the 1891 census is agricultural labourer.
In April 1893 Joseph married Elizabeth Ann Turner and before long they moved to Horton in Ribblesdale near Settle in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. They lived at Foredale Cottages on the outskirts of the village. The cottages were built for the workers at the local limestone quarry and that is where Joseph was employed. Here's a link to more information.
By 1901 the family had moved to Clitheroe in Lancashire where Joseph continued to work as a quarryman and they spent the rest of the lives raising a family of ten children.
Joseph died on 30 September 1933 and is buried at Clitheroe Cemetery.
As you can see from the headstone Joseph junior died as an infant in 1904. And Isobel died 95 years old in 2001.

My cousin Maureen has been a nurse for many years. In her experience she has recalled that some folks (especially the older ones) get what is called "sun down syndrome". They can be sweet as pie when you visit during the day and when you go back in the evening they are calling you all sorts or names and are generally angry off. Something occurs in the brain causing them to change moods. This can be very creepy. I have never heard of the eyes going black........doubly creepy!

Yeah generally the elderly become "senile" the older they get, but usually only the patients with some form of mental disorder, even if it's only a tiny bit (i.e - bipolar or manic depression).. Also realize that most of the elderly are experiencing immeasurable amounts of body aches, and are prescribed to some really powerful pain killers such as vikes or lore tabs. This type of medication forms serious addictions, and withdrawal symptoms from these drugs cause even more painful body aches, aggression, depression and many other horrible side affects... My brother was addicted to them for years and had to hit up rehab just to finally get off of them.
As for the eye color change, I did a little research and found this. The sentence you are looking for is in bold:
Eye color change
Often, newborns have blue eyes, which change to green, hazel, light brown or dark brown, as they grow older. It is thought that exposure to light after birth triggers the production of melanin in the iris of the eye. By three years of age, the eyes produce and store enough melanin to indicate their natural shade. While changes in eye color of infants are more common, even in adults, eye color changes are seen, most often as a result of exposure to the sun. Sunlight triggers melanin production in the eye, as it does to the skin. People with green eyes in the winter might develop darker, more hazel eyes if they spend more time outdoors. Many people's eyes appear to change color when they change their clothing, or when they change moods, this is disputed due to the apparent need to instantaneously produce melanin; however no conclusive research exists.

My eyes are often changing between green and hazel - dependant upon many things, namely mood. So, its possible that this is a mundane explanation. What color are the eyes of this woman, naturally? If they are brown, perhaps, hers just change colors, too perhaps, to a very deep (almost black) brownish hue? Or, perhaps, her pupils were just vastly dilated with her mood to appear black?

Community Emergency Response Team)...maybe lack of sleep would have had something to do with say, green stuff spewing outta her mouth whilst her head was turning in all angles. LOL!!! But seriously hun, I had enough sleep the night before. At first, I didn't think nothing of it. But the more I thought about this patient, the more it made me curious enough to come on here & see if I maybe living up to my "tag". It sounds odd, but it really did happen. Honest engine.
My eye color also changes, depending on the color of shirt I'm wearing. And if I'm in a foul mood, my pupils dialate as well.

Thanks for sharing that, I never seen or heard of that before, but going by the posts above it does seem quite more common than I anticipated.
Not sure if its paranormal, maybe someone can explain why this does occur

A noticeable change in eye color has been known to happen from a few things. My friend swears to this day that his wife's eyes become greener when she's "in the mood".
My hazel eyes do the same thing, under the same conditions! For a twist, I have a brown spot in my left eye right below my pupil that also glows under times of mischief (pretty much all the time!)
Posted 12 August 2007 - 07:32 PM
Please refer to my "Strange Maid" post where I described her eyes changing to black and growing very large. This happened in the elevator and she was staring at my Mom.
This sounds like the same kind of experience. I appreciate the possible medical explanations, but
your experience is so similar to the one I had with Maid, so I understand why you're freaked.

Spirit guide? Just maybe! I hope things are going smoother for you! You are one strong lady!!! Dave
~Oh yes...her whole facial expression had changed as well. I'm still getting goose-bumps just remembering. The other thing is that no matter where I'm at at work, an elevator (we have soooo many) door will open as soon as I walk in front of it. There are no motion sensors because I've asked. But another gal who I work with noticed the same thing one night when she was walking with me. No matter what hallway I went down, as soon as I walked infront of an elevator....the door would open.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK (September 18, 2012) – Tony Award winner David Henry Hwang will deliver the eighth-annual McBride Lecture for Faith and Literature at Oklahoma Christian University on Oct. 5.
The free lecture starts at 7:30 p.m. in OC's Judd Theatre. A panel discussion and free book-signing reception will follow. Lecture seating can be reserved at www.oc.edu/mcbridecenter.
During his visit, Hwang also will participate in symposia with board members of Ecumenica, a national journal and scholars association for theater and faith.
"Hwang continuously manages to navigate the precarious boundaries of enthnography, cultural criticism, and dramatic composition with facility and tenderness," said Carolyn Roark, editor in chief of Ecumenica. "His contributions to American and world stages serve as a credit to the McBride Center's commitment to exploring the breadth of the human condition through the humanities."
Hwang received a Tony Award for the 1998 production of "M Butterfly," a drama inspired by the music of Puccini. The play starred John Lithgow and BD Wong on Broadway, with the cast later including Anthony Hopkins. The 1993 film starred Jeremy Irons.
His most recent work to be performed on Broadway is "Chinglish," a satirical look at the use of English in business communication between Western and Chinese enterprises.
He received the prestigious Steinberg Award for American Drama this year.
"Hwang remains a durable consummate of several dramatic mediums – librettist, dramatist and children's plays," OC theater professor Dr. Barrett Huddleston said. "His pedigree, accolades and social consciousness elevate his work among the best of the American theatrical experience."
The McBride Lecture will serve as the keynote address for the annual meeting of the Southwest Conference on Christianity and Literature, which will bring scholars from five surrounding states to OC's campus for panel discussions by scholars and for student research presentations.
The SWCCL program will be coordinated by program chair Dr. Ben Myers, professor of English at Oklahoma Baptist University and arrangements chair Merle Gatewood, associate professor of English and French at Oklahoma Christian.
The McBride Center is named for Dr. Bailey and Joyce McBride, who have been academic leaders in the English faculty, campus community and Oklahoma's higher education community since the 1950s.
"At Oklahoma Christian, we aspire to transform the lives of our students, faculty and community toward greater scholarship, faith and service. This always has included a vigorous public engagement with the humanities," said Dr. Scott LaMascus, director of OC's McBride Center for Public Humanities. "Bailey McBride has championed the humanities as a professor, chief academic officer and community wise man. He loves people and ideas, so nothing could be more natural than honoring Bailey and Joyce with these activities."
Endowment and operational funding for the McBride Center is made available by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Oklahoma Humanities Council, the Kirkpatrick Family Fund and the Oklahoma City Community Foundation provided additional funding. Generous annual gifts have come from the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation in New York City and the Inasmuch Foundation of Oklahoma City.
Past guests for the McBride Lecture include: bestselling novelist Kathleen Norris (2005); U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky (2006); Pulitzer Prize winner Marilynne Robinson (2007); best-selling religions author Dr. Charles Kimball (2008); environmentalist and bestselling author Bill McKibben (2009); past national chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts and poet Dana Gioia (2010); and bestselling novelist Alice McDermott (2011).

Norma,Wow... All your pies look killer. Great job Jim
Hi Norma,Great looking pizza. I get hungry just viewing your thread. Thanks for sharing the photos with us.TomN
Norma:Greetings from Puerto Rico. I have been reading these forums for about 2 years now (off and on). Wanted to see if I could take 2 minutes of your time for the following:What recipe are you using for your dough right now. I have seen many recipe that you have experimented with but did not find your latest: 1 day cold ferment lehman recipe.As for sauce any tips would be appreciated. I own a Pizza Food Truck in Puerto Rico () I will be re-opening in about a week. I had been in business for a little over a year but have decided to move the truck toa more upscle business office district. In the website do not mind the menu...That is me playing around with the website a little. I have 2 small deck ovens.Ilike you (sorry for assuming) but always looking to better my product, never fully satisfied. As for the sauce I am thinking of playing with 7/11 or 6 in 1 with a good amount of oregano. Us Puerto Ricans like tasty eatings with kind of bold flavors. Thank you for your time on this. I have access to Bay State Milling HG.
Norma:Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I will look into everything you stated and report back. As per your request my website is: www.pittsa.com I pay for a Bay State High Gluten 50# $22.00 and all the other flours available to us in Puerto Rico: $18 to $22 / Piovetti Mimosa "00": $39 for 55 Pound Bag. Just if your curious: Saporito: $32.00 for a 6 can 10# Box. Sorrento Cheese: $3.99 / lb right now (Very Expensive) but have purchased it anywhere from: $2.69 to $3.99 /lb throughout the year. Grande East Coast Blend <---Only Grande Cheese available in Puerto Rico around .40 to .50 cents more expensive than the Sorrento Whole Milk. All prices for shredded cheese. If you need anything else answered please let me know. Thanks again.
Norma:Your very much welcome. Do you bake your pizza on screen, directly on oven deck or combination of both? and at what temp? Thanks. As of today one of the most challenging things I am thinking about is: Should I do Personal 10" and 18" Pizza's or only 18" and sell slices. Simple things like this drain my brain. The logistics of it. Anyways do not want to get off topic. Maybe I should start a thread on Pizza Food Truck so everyone can see.
Thanks Again.
After looking though my pictures again from yesterday this is one part slice picture I forgot to post.Norma
I'd wet myself if that came out of my oven.

A couple weeks ago on a Sunday, there was a lengthy legal notice in the classified ads section of the newspaper regarding garbage, recycling containers and a bunch of other stuff including wildlife. It seemed to go into excruciating detail and took up the better part of two pages of newsprint. Its been bugging me. What was that ad all about? Reads the Fine Print
Your query comes at a perfect time. Today is the first day of Durangos new single-stream recycling system and that lengthy notice is all about this exciting new service.
On Jan. 13, the city dutifully posted the complete text of the new Chapter 10 of the City Code, which covers trash collection and recycling.
The old Chapter 10 had its problems. Most notably, it lacked the appropriate language for single-stream recycling.
Rather than tinker with the code and craft a slew of amendments, the city junked the entire chapter and replaced it with a new one.
So when it comes to rules on salvaging resources, the city tosses its law without reducing words, reusing text or recycling content. How ironic is that?
The new Chapter 10 contains some interesting details.
For instance, Dumpster-diving entrepreneurs are put on notice. Its now against the law for anyone to remove from any container designated for recycling any material of any value.
Thankfully, this section prohibits trash mining only from containers, and nothing is said about fall cleanup.
Around these parts, fall cleanup should be called Hoarders Holiday, as several people cruise around, seeing if anything good can be snagged from huge piles of debris and detritus.
Junk and appliances have their own section in the code. In a nutshell, dilapidated furniture, appliances, machinery, equipment, building material, vehicle or portions thereof cant be accumulated outside unless enclosed by a building of some sort.
Well call this section the No Disgusting Crummy Couches with Free Signs on Curbs provision.
The scourge of cement litterbugs is dealt with directly.
The law specifically insists persons mixing concrete or transporting concrete on city streets shall not drop or leave waste concrete upon such streets.
The city is fully prepared for the next pandemic, as the ordinance covers the removal and disposal of wearing apparel, bedding or other trash from homes or other places where highly infectious or contagious diseases have prevailed.
Local victims of cholera and tuberculosis will need to make arrangements. Such trash shall not be placed in containers for regular city trash collection, the law reads.
Section 10-24 is titled Dead animals. It reads, No person shall deposit or otherwise place any carcass or portion of any animal, bird or reptile for collection by the city.
The ordinance continues with a crucial kitchen clarification: This prohibition shall not preclude the disposal of animal parts that are part of a meal or meal preparation.
And speaking of animals, our new trash code specifically outlaws leaving or storing any refuse, food product, pet food, grain, seeds or salt in a manner which would constitute a lure, attractant or enticement to wildlife, except for birdfeeders.
OK. But the ordinance defines wildlife as including but not limited to elk, deer, sheep, lynx, bears, skunks, squirrels, raccoons, magpies, crows, coyotes, bobcats, foxes, mountain lions, unrestrained livestock or unrestrained household pets.
So you can feed birds but not magpies and crows?
Action Line checked with our friend, City Manager Ron LeBlanc, regarding this ornery ornithological ordinance and the flap it could cause.
We took testimony from the nice birds like sparrows and robins and they had nothing nice to say about members of the corvid family, Ron chirped.
Email questions to email@example.com or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 81301. You can request anonymity if you know the multiple number of ways to sign up for single-stream recycling.

Corrective jaw surgery will reshape or reposition the jaw bones. The surgery may be done on the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. This surgery may also be called:
- Maxillary osteotomy—upper jaw
- Mandibular osteotomy—lower jaw
The bone should heal in about 6 weeks. It will take about 9-12 months before the jaw heals completely.
Reasons for Procedure
This surgery is done to correct a problem of the jaw bone.
The jaw is the platform for the teeth. Certain jaw problems make it difficult for the upper and lower teeth to line up correctly. The misalignment can cause:
- Difficultly chewing or biting
- Speech problems
- Challenges with breathing
- Problems breathing during sleep, such as sleep apnea
- Jaw pain
The surgery may also be done to repair cosmetic problems. This may include receding chin, protruding jaw, or lips that don't meet. It may also be done to repair problems from:
- Facial injuries
- Birth defects
- Genetic conditions
- Bone disease or conditions that affect bone growth
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Numbness or pain in sinuses, ears, or teeth
- Excess bleeding
- No improvement in symptoms
- Poor cosmetic outcome
- Adverse reaction to anesthesia, such as lightheadedness, low blood pressure, and wheezing
- Infection
- Nausea and vomiting
Factors that may increase the risk of problems include:
- Smoking
- Bleeding disorders
- Chronic health conditions, such as heart disease
Talk to your doctor about these risks before the procedure.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
The change in your jaw will require a change in the position of your teeth. To prepare your teeth for the surgery, you may have several months of dental care. Your dentist may use braces or similar tools to help shift your teeth into the correct position.
Closer to your surgery, you may have x-ray and models of your teeth done. This will help guide surgical work.
Talk to your doctor if you take any medications, herbs, or supplements. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
You may be asked to not eat or drink anything starting the night before your surgery.
General anesthesia will be used. It will block pain and keep you asleep through the surgery.
Description of the Procedure
The exact procedure will depend on your specific needs. Most incisions will be made inside the mouth. Some incisions may need to be made outside of the mouth.
The specific work done on the bones will depend on your needs. Some steps may include:
- Removing a section of bone
- Separating a portion of the jaw so that is can be moved backward or forward
- Reattaching the new edges of bone with metal plates, screws, or wires
The bones will be adjusted until the upper and lower teeth are lined up.
The incisions may be closed with stitches or a special liquid that acts like glue. Gauze may be placed over the surgical wounds. The gauze will stay in place for a few hours after surgery. Rubber bands may also be used with a dental appliance. They will help keep your jaw in alignment until your jaw heals.
Immediately After Procedure
After the operation, you will be taken to the recovery room for observation. The gauze may be removed when you wake up.
Ice may be placed around your jaw to decrease swelling.
How Long Will It Take?
The length of surgery will depend on the changes made to your jaw. It may be 2-4 hours.
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia prevents pain during surgery. As you recover, you may have some pain. Your doctor will give you medication to manage any pain.
Average Hospital Stay
You may need to stay in the hospital for 2-5 days. If you have any problems, you may need to stay longer.
Post-procedure Care
You will be asked to start with a modified diet. Depending on the details of your surgery, your doctor may recommend just liquids at first or soft solids. You will be given a schedule to work back toward your normal diet.
You will be able to notice cosmetic change right away. Your jaw will need to heal before you can do normal movements. As a result, it may take some time to feel the improvements in bite or jaw movement.
Certain activities will need to be avoided until the jaw is healed. You will be instructed on how to care for the incision site to prevent infection. Dietary changes may be need to be maintained at home until the doctor says it is okay to return to a normal diet. A dietitian will help with meal planning.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications, such as:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, excess bleeding, or discharge from the surgery site
- Foul smelling breath
- Persistent nausea or vomiting
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you were given
- Spitting or vomiting blood
- New or unexpected symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.
