Michael, Kathy, Glen, Gabrielle, Alden and Kathleen Snajder. Missing: Amanda.
A 42-year-old Monroe father of five learnsthat having colon surgery isn't as bad as it sounds—when it's
done as a minimally invasive procedure at Bridgeport Hospital.
omething wasn't right.
It wasn't the flu and it wasn't his appendix (he'd had
that out years ago). But the fever, the horrible chills, the abdominal
pain ("It sometimes knocked me to the floor!"), the loss of appetite,
the exhaustion in a normally healthy man—no, something definitely wasn't
So 42–year-old Glen Snajder went to Bridgeport
Hospital's Emergency Department. A series of tests showed that he had
diverticulitis—an infection in his colon. (The colon is the major
portion of the large intestine.) Intravenous antibiotics and four days
in the hospital brought the fever down, and Glen went home thinking,
"Well, I'll watch my diet, eat more fiber, and that will be that."
During his initial stay at Bridgeport Hospital, Glen was
treated by Gregory Soloway, MD, a gastroenterologist (specialist in
diseases of the digestive tract). In a follow-up procedure a few months
later, Dr. Soloway performed a
(a procedure that involves
sliding a slim tube with a camera up into the colon so the doctor can
see what's going on inside).
"I could see that his lower colon was quite thickened
and abnormal-looking," says Dr. Soloway, "but he seemed to be
progressing well." A round of antibiotics helped.
However, diverticulitis in a man as young as Glen is
cause for watchful concern. It's usually a disease of people over age
50. When found in younger people, it's a much more aggressive condition.
And Glen's condition was aggressive. After his third attack of diverticulitis, and third round of antibiotics, in a
four-month period, Dr. Soloway determined that the diverticulitis had
become chronic. He recommended that Glen consider having the diseased
section of his colon removed—and that he have it done before his disease
progressed to the point where emergency surgery was required.
So Glen went to colorectal surgeon Scott Thornton, MD,
for consultation.
Dr. Thornton had the proverbial bad news and good news.
Glen really did need to have about a foot of diseased colon removed —
but there was a way to do it without having to open up his abdomen.
Instead of a long abdominal scar, minimally invasive surgery would
involve only three small incisions.
Glen's point of view: "If you can have the minimally
invasive procedure done by an expert, with smaller scars, less pain, a
shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery— well, why wouldn't you?"
Glen came to Bridgeport Hospital on June 26, 2006, for
surgery. While expert anesthesiologist Amarjit Lamba, MD, monitored
Glen's breathing and oxygen levels, Dr. Thornton made two incisions in
Glen's lower abdomen, plus a third in Glen's navel through which he
inserted a miniature camera.
"Because the camera presents a magnified view, I can see
even better than with the naked eye," he explains.
As is true for all surgeries, surgeons and
anesthesiologists work in close partnership during minimally invasive
laparoscopic surgery.
Dr. Lamba continually observed and made fine adjustments
to ventilation, fluids and anesthesia drugs as Glen's abdomen was
inflated and his body frequently repositioned to help Dr. Thornton
achieve the best possible views of the area.
Using miniature instruments inserted through the
abdominal incisions, Dr. Thornton cut out the diseased portion of
intestine, "like removing a section of damaged, rusty pipe," he says. He
next positioned a special tubular stapling device through the rectum up
to the area of removed colon. "Then," he explains, "I pulled the two
ends of the pipe together, and used the stapler to simultaneously staple
all around the circumference of the pipe to hold the ends together." The
diseased segment of colon was withdrawn through the navel.
The operation was a complete success. Glen began eating
solid foods the day following surgery and went home the next day. Within
three weeks he was back at work on a reduced schedule as a bank
supervisor. Two weeks later, he was back to work on his regular
schedule. His diet is now normal— with an emphasis on plenty of fiber
"to keep things moving," he says with a grin.
Glen's advice to anyone with symptomatic diverticulitis:
"You're not going to get any healthier! Ask your doctor about minimally
invasive surgery and take advantage of this newer, easier procedure."
OK, time for a discussion of all the diverticular things you may have heard about. Bridgeport Hospital–affiliated gastroenterologist Darlene Negbenebor, MD, explains:
(singular: diverticulum) are
little pouches that form on the inside of the digestive tract.
Lots of people have diverticula, "and 90 percent of the people
who have them don't even know it," says Dr. Negbenebor.
Diverticular disease
is a catchall term for
conditions that involve diverticula.
is a condition in which you
have lots of diverticula. (Osis = abnormal increase.) Again, if
you have no symptoms, there is no problem. The problem comes
when you progress to…
That's when the
diverticula become inflamed (swollen) and infected. (Itis =
inflammation.) "At this point you are pretty sure to be having
symptoms. If you have not seen your d

ST. PAUL, Minn. - A search warrant affidavit says a Minnesota man accused of killing a 9-year-old boy by firing at passing cars told investigators he did it because people had been waking him up by revving their engines.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that police found a note in Nhan Lap Tran's bedroom when they arrested him after the February rampage that read: "Random Kill, Fake Plates."
The affidavit filed in Washington County District Court says the date "12/12/12" was also scrawled on the bedroom walls.
Tran's attorney, Susan Drabek, did not immediately return a phone call to The Associated Press for comment Saturday.
The 34-year-old Tran is charged with six felonies in the Feb. 11 rampage.
Prosecutors say Tran had previously admitted to the shootings but hadn't given a motive.

An online ad for shoes has led to the arrest of four men who have been charged with armed robbery and abduction, according to Fairfax County Police.
Marion Kenneth Allen, Jr., 22, Cye Adam Penn, 22, Bryant Robinson, 19, and Xavier Hall, 22, all of Prince George's County, Md., were charged with robbery, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and abduction.
According to police, while on patrol in the Little Run Shopping Center in the 7400 block of Little River Turnpike, a police officer noticed a car creeping along without its lights on.
Unknown to the officer, police said a robbery involving a gun, a 15-year-old boy, and his Nike sneakers was in progress.
The teen had placed an online ad to sell the high-priced athletic shoes, and had scheduled to meet a prospective buyer at the Annandale shopping center shortly before 11 p.m. on Monday, police said.
When the teen showed up with the shoes, he was abducted by four men armed with a gun, police said.
The teen was a passenger in their vehicle when he signaled to the officer that he was being abducted against his will at gunpoint, police said.
"A patrolman saw the teen in the vehicle, gesturing to him," said Fairfax County Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell.
Caldwell said that upon being notified of a weapon, the officer, along with backup, enacted a high-risk stop and all four men were taken into custody.
Buyers and sellers using online services to sell products should always proceed with caution, Caldwell said.
"Meet during daylight hours, never alone, and always in a public place. Transactions with strangers can be risky and all those involved need to take precautions to protect their safety when meeting," Caldwell said.

Boy's and Girl's tryout schedules are posted on the left sidebar. All tryout dates, times and locations are subject to change without prior notice. All changes will be posted on the appropriate schedule.
As of this time the online tryout registration for the 2015 Maryland State ODP U13-17 is closed. Player's born in 2002 through 1998 who live in the state of Maryland and are US Youth Soccer/MSYSA carded are eligible to complete a "walk-up" registration on the day of tryouts. To complete a walk-up registration, player's should arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the tryout block that they would like to attend. Player's will need to have their parent/guardian complete the walk-up registration form, provide proof of age (e.g. birth certificate) and proof of registration with US Youth Soccer/MSYSA (e.g. 2014-15 player card) in addition to paying the walk-up registration fee of $75.00 (cash or check only).
2015 Maryland State ODP U13-17 Tryout Blocks
The Maryland State ODP uses the calendar year for team formation. Players will tryout in their birth year group. Playing on a club team that has mixed birth years has no impact on the ODP process.
Age groups for the 2015 Maryland State ODP season are as follows:
Maryland State ODP tryouts (U13-U17) are scheduled for November 17-December 10, 2014. Tryout schedules are posted on the left sidebar.
Maryland State ODP teams are formed using BIRTHYEAR. Tryouts will be held November 17-December 10, 2014 for the following age groups: 1998 (U17), 1999 (U16), 2000 (U15), 2001 (U14), 2002 (U13).
The 2015 Maryland State ODP U12 tryouts for players born in 2003 (U12) and 2004 (U12) will be held October 25-26, 2014 at the Garrison Forest School.
Tryout registration for the Maryland State ODP U12-17 will be available beginning in early September, 2014.
Players must attend at least one tryout session to be eligible for placement on a Maryland state ODP pool roster. Additionally, U13-17 players will be asked to select and attend two (2) (and only two) of the available tryout blocks for their age group and gender.
Tryout blocks for the U13-17 age groups can be viewed by clicking here
If a player is unable to attend any of the posted tryout sessions (available on the left sidebar) then they must register for tryouts and then notify the MSYSA Programs Director in writing by the closing of the online registration (November 13, 2014 at 9:00am) (firstname.lastname@example.com) to be considered for a callback tryout in March/April, 2015. A callback tryout is not guaranteed until approved by the MSYSA Programs Director.
Any cancellation of a tryout event will be posted on the MSYSA website. Notice of cancellation will be posted no later than 4pm on the day of the tryout if the tryout is scheduled for a weekday (Monday-Friday). If the cancellation is for a weekend tryout, the notice will be posted on the website a minimum of 2 hours prior to the cancelled tryout session or as soon as MSYSA administrators are informed by club, school, facility or parks & rec officials of the cancellation. Rescheduled tryout dates will be posted on the MSYSA website. Every attempt will be made to reschedule any cancelled tryout sessions to the next available date (depending upon field availability). (Updated 9/1/11)
Because Maryland State ODP tryouts are held in November/December and cold weather is expected, all players (and parents) should dress appropriately. Also, arrive early enough to check in at the registration table and to warm up properly.
The ODP tryout t-shirt must be visible at all times to ensure proper evaluation by our coaches. Attempting to wear the tryout shirt over multiple sweatshirts and training tops isn't always the most "comfortable" idea. We want all players to be focused on the ball, their teammates and their opponents, not on how uncomfortable they feel while playing. Please read the recommendations below to ensure you are properly prepared, comfortable and safe for ODP tryouts.

Pepole tolerate some guys when demand is high, my patience would have worn thin at some point, probably way before the unplugging the rod oven to plug in the radio incident, then to argue about it would have been the last straw. At some point no matter how good a guy is at it the pain in the azz factor outweighs it.
Aint nothing like firing a guy first thing in the morning to put a little spark in the rest of the gang, this would have been a gift for that.

Paranoid unfounded fear or not one reason I never headed to pipeline work was I cant stand working in mud, dry dirt is bad enough but greasy mud especially with my own equipment is just to much of an emotional challenge to face every day.

Don't let him bug you post what you want ...thicken your skin some
I like seeing pics of things i don't do ..My father did pipe and then he got smart and bought a backhoe and other equipment and quit pipe welding
A procedure is something that is made up by engineers for people to follow
and if some folk think there smarter than the engineer then they need to march right up to them and tell them there all wrong and why there wrong .
97% of the time that will get you canned....
Engineers have a high opinion of themselves too and since the welder has maybe the experience he does not have the college degrees so the welder loses unless something goes wrong then the blame is on the engineer unless he can show the welder didn't follow procedure
I have only talked to a few engineers and some are pretty smart and some have no practical knowledge one that was in my welding class was telling about something he wanted to do and i listened to him and when they all left i told him a much simpler way to do what he wanted to do and he thought about it and said i never thought of that... my thought was oh boy nothing like an engineer to over complicate something as simple as cutting a piece of steel
You can call your self DR. all you want but in the real world of it don't mean jack...unless you have some REAL degrees from a REAL institution not some stuff you got off the net
All else is your own opinion which also means jack.... in the real worldBacked my CATMA over your CARMA

expose yourself people. Some people don't want your side, end of story.
It's better to let others think you are dumb then open mouth and remove all
We had a guy that kept on telling everyone that he welds like a machine, none better. I told him yea, you are a welding machine. Yep ! We should just lock you up in the gang box with the rest of the machines. Weld yes, layout ability, none, system operation , none, order material and setup , none. Yep, just a welder. Round and round we go. Point, I weld ! End of story. He was a **** of a welder. I know he had trouble reading the thing with the numbers and lines on it too. Yea, a rule.

That's true, but sometimes air travel can take even longer and be more annoying than a train. For small journeys I prefer the train, as you don't have to arrive two hours early, then stand in line, then stand in line again, then be subjected to lots of indignities at security.
Still, glad you got there in the end!

I definitely agree with you. I take a train to Chicago once in awhile and I must say I prefer a plane without a doubt. And sitting in a plane for a few hours is always better than driving yourself. I don't get people who would rather drive across the country...
Also, I want so badly to visit Venice! So glad you posted these :)

While I know what they mean about taking the travel out of it, without airplanes, we couldn't see the world like we can now! If we had to take off months to take a boat across an ocean. I'll trade in my "glimpses from the road" for the ability to see those places out of reach.

I completely agree with your view about just wanting to get some place. I always sleep when we drive up north to visit relatives. I just want it to be over as quickly as possible so I can start my time up there ASAP. Everyone always talks about taking their time on the road and seeing things along the way - which I guess could be nice - but I'd rather just get there. There's a reason I'm going "there" and not someplace along the way.
P.S.: Great post! I love your dress.

Never been to Italy but I would LOVE to, I'm sure I'd fall in love with it the moment I step foot in it.
Also, I think long travel some times brings out the best and worst in some/most people. Especially towards the end where people tend to get cabin fever, homesick, and cranky. You just have to remember what an amazing opportunity you are having to get to discover the world

@Eli, Oh I agree; I mean I also work really hard to be able to travel since it's all self-funded & I want to enjoy it when I'm there! My friend and I didn't really get cranky--just exhausted, tired feet & arms, harrassed by some strange people, etc. It's mostly a sense that you're losing time on long travel days; like forced to sit in a train/car instead of being out & exploring things!

Sharpsville – Monday, October 8th, at approximately 7:30 a.m., officers from the Indiana State Police and the Tipton County Sheriff's Department responded to a single vehicle crash on Tipton County Road 500 North at Tipton County Road 300 West, which severely injured a Kokomo, IN, man.
The crash investigation by Master Trooper Jeff Franklin revealed that Morris Calvert, 50, Kokomo, IN, was driving a 1991 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck westbound on County Road 500 North. Calvert failed to negotiate a curve at County Road 300 West and traveled off the north side of the road into a ditch. The Chevrolet continued through the ditch and came to rest after slamming into an earth embankment.
Calvert was transported by ambulance to Howard County Community Hospital with severe internal injuries. He was later airlifted by Lifeline Helicopter to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
This morning Calvert died from injuries suffered in the crash.

Portland Timbers
MLSsoccer.com's Dan Haiek and Armchair Analyst Matt Doyle preview the Saturday night match between the Portland Timbers and Columbus Crew. Should the Crew switch to a diamond midfield? Is Fanendo Adi the savior in the Pacific Northwest?
Saturday's match marks the Crew's fourth match of May and third away from Crew Stadium ... the team is looking to snap a three-match losing streak and return to winning ways on the road ... the Crew is 2-2-1 in road tilts in 2014 and is unbeaten (1-0-1) when leading at halftime of those matches ... the Black & Gold return home for a May 24 clash against Chicago before a final road match of May at Toronto FC on May 31.
The Columbus Crew announced on Monday that three players have been named to 30-man preliminary rosters ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, including club captain Michael Parkhurst (United States Men's National Team) as well as defenders Giancarlo Gonzalez and Waylon Francis (Costa Rican National Team) ... forward Jairo Arrieta has also been named as an alternate for Costa Rica's provisional roster ... "We are proud of our players as they prepare to represent the Columbus Crew in their respective National Team camps," said Crew Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter. "The possibility of representing your nation in the FIFA World Cup is our sport's highest honor, and we're thrilled for our players that now have this opportunity. We wish them every success ahead of this summer's tournament."
Michael Parkhurst (United States) and Waylon Francis (Costa Rica) have departed for National Team camp for their respective countries, with Giancarlo Gonzalez (Costa Rica) set to leave after this weekend's match ... therefore, Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter has two spots to fill on the backline this weekend.
Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter has several options to replace Waylon Francis and Michael Parkhurst on the backline this weekend ... in addition to veteran depth, the Crew recalled Kevan George and Ben Sweat from loan at USL-PRO affiliate Dayton Dutch Lions ... Sweat was on a game-by-game loan and started two matches while George had been with Dayton since March, earning significant playing experience.
The Crew returns home after a two-match road trip to face the Portland Timbers on Sunday night (5:00 p.m. ET / FOX Sports Ohio). Before the two sides meet this weekend, here is a look back at their lone meeting in 2012.
The Crew kicked off a six-match unbeaten streak last season with a 0-0 road draw against the Portland Timbers. Andy Gruenebaum made seven saves in goal to deny the Timbers and help the Black & Gold to a hard-earned road point. The Crew would go on to secure 11 points from its next five matches.

A Leonardtown area man died Saturday evening, police report, when the pickup truck he was driving went off Medley�s Neck Road and overturned in a ditch.
David Michael Bell Jr., 22, was traveling east on the roadway toward Valley Lee at about 7:50 p.m. Saturday when the 2002 Toyota Tacoma struck and rolled down a dirt embankment, according to St. Mary's sheriff's deputies. Bell, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the truck, and he died at the scene.
A sheriff's release states that speed and alcohol are believed to be contributing factors in the crash.

Orthostatic hypotension is a condition of abnormal blood pressure regulation upon standing. The blood pressure quickly decreases, more than 20/10 mm Hg, when rising from a lying down or sitting position to a standing position.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Orthostatic hypotension has several causes.
Factors that increase your chance of orthostatic hypotension include:
Orthostatic hypotension may cause:
Exercise or having eaten a heavy meal may worsen symptoms.
Orthostatic hypotension is diagnosed when symptoms are present and there is a measured reduction in blood pressure while standing, which is relieved by lying down.
Treatment for orthostatic hypotension depends on the cause.
Treatments include:
When orthostatic hypotension is due to hypovolemia related to medications, adjusting or stopping medication may be needed to reverse the condition.
Orthostatic hypotension resulting from dehydration is treated with fluids and electrolyte replacement.
If bedrest is the cause of orthostatic hypotension, symptoms may be improved by increasing time spent sitting up in bed.
A number of medications may be given to boost blood pressure. Over-the-counter medications include caffeine and ibuprofen.
In some cases, individuals may be encouraged to increase their intake of salt. Fitted elastic stockings that go up to the waist may be worn. Individuals may need to be taught to rise from lying down, to sit up, and to stand in a slow and gradual manner. Similarly, they should be discouraged from standing still for too long a time.
There is no way to prevent orthostatic hypotension if it is a result of other diseases or conditions. However, if your orthostatic hypotension relates to medications, dehydration, or bedrest, you should talk with your healthcare provider about treatment options.

This report explains the basic structure of the engineering workforce, and the elements that influence the ability of engineers to move across borders. It examines recent efforts to address national differences in education and accreditation, and also considers how serious the barriers to international migration for engineers are in practice.
A panel discussion on the release of the Regional Migration Study Group's final report, Thinking Regionally to Compete Globally: Leveraging Migration & Human Capital in the U.S., Mexico, and Central America, outlining its findings and offering recommendations to policymakers in the region.
Focusing on the health care and engineering sectors, this report examines the formal and informal barriers to professional practice that foreign-trained professionals encounter when they migrate to the United States.
This final report from the Regional Migration Study Group outlines the powerful demographic, economic, and social forces reshaping Mexico and Central America and changing longstanding migration dynamics with the United States. It offers a forward-looking, pragmatic agenda for the region, focusing on new collaborative approaches on migration and human-capital development to strengthen regional competitiveness.
The winners of the Migration Policy Institute's 2012 E Pluribus Unum Prizes, honoring exceptional immigrant integration initiatives in the United States, discussed their work during a plenary luncheon on September 24, 2012 at the National Immigrant Integration Conference held in Baltimore, MD.
A discussion with Rosario Farmhouse, Alejandro Mayorkas, Jasenko Selimovic, Peter Sylvester, and Demetrios G. Papademetriou, MPI President.
The EU-U.S. relationship is one of the most significant partnerships among wealthy nations. Interconnections between the two on migration issues make dialogue necessary and inevitable, as each relies on each other to attain a number of policy objectives, most clearly in the case of travel and border security.
This report explores the migration patterns and demographics of Black African immigrants in the United States, examining their admission channels, human-capital characteristics, and labor market performance. The authors also provide an analysis of these immigrants' integration prospects.

I was replacing an old ceiling register cover in my house but I found the screw hole on one side of the opening is kind of loose. Is there a way to patch up the mount point so the cover is fully supported?

Break the (non-ignition) end of a balsa-wood kitchen matchstick into the screw hole, then thread the screw into the hole. This will compress the matchstick and provide a snug fit for the screw.
You could probably squirt a bit of caulking or liquid nails in the hole to help tighten it up. Let it dry before putting the register back up.

Friday's leg of the tour included stops in Titusville, Franklin, Tionesta, Clarion, Brookville, DuBois, Brockway, St. Marys and concluded at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield County. Many of the congressman's visits were to restaurants and cafes.

Was it 1986?Originally Posted by phinz_fan
Yup. 1986.Originally Posted by BlitPhinFan
That's a good guess. He is coming close. According to stats that I have seen he is either 10 points ahead or is about 200pts behind, depending on where you look. shy of being the all-time leader. I guess it depends on if the numbers for who was considered the leader are career based and not miami based.Originally Posted by phinz_fan

Actually I think you're right. They need to update the record books. Mare has 840 WITH Miami, where as Yepremian had 830 with Miami, the other ~200 were with Detroit, New Orleans and Tamba Bay. Good work mate.
EDIT: On a side note, Mare could shatter Yepremian's record this year and it would be for the same number of years Yepremian was with the Dolphins.
Found it. The all-time leading scorer is Garo Yepremian. In 14 season he scored 1,074 points, converting 210 out of 313 field goal attempts (67.1) and 444 of 464 extra points attempts (95.7).Originally Posted by BlitPhinFan
Yep, but 5 of those 14 years were with other teams. I think you're correct. 830 of those were with Miami.Originally Posted by phinz_fan
EDIT: And some fans are still wanting to get rid of Mare. heh,heh... go figure.

For $1.1 Billion, Facebook Snaps Up Instagram
Originally published on Tue April 10, 2012 4:16 am
Facebook likes Instagram - that's the top of our business news.
INSKEEP: And they did more than just click on the little thumbs up. Facebook is buying the photo application Instagram, and the price is higher than it has ever paid for an acquisition - $1 billion; this for a company with only around a dozen employees. As somebody joked yesterday, why didn't they just download it?
As NPR's Laura Sydell reports, some analysts say the purchase is a defensive move.
LAURA SYDELL, BYLINE: Instagram is a mobile app that lets you put filters on your photos to make them sepia toned or look like an old western, and share the pictures with friends.
Analyst Patrick Moorhead says the site was a creative breakthrough for mobile.
PATRICK MOORHEAD: It allowed people's artistic beauty, or artistic sense come out - or lack of artistic sense come out, in a way that nothing had done before.
SYDELL: Instagram drew 30 million users in less than two years. Great for Instagram, but Moorhead says Facebook saw a challenge. The popular social network has been the leading player in photo-sharing.
MOORHEAD: Facebook bought this as a defensive move to not lose a huge amount of customers off of Facebook.
SYDELL: In a blog post, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised to let Instagram remain independent. However, many Instagram customers were skeptical.
On Twitter, people were giving advice, like how to delete your Instagram account. And though $1 billion for a company with a dozen employees may sound like a hefty price, analyst Moorhead points out it's still only 1 percent of Facebook's valuation.

Fenninger ends season with Podium
Anna Fenninger ended the Giant Slalom season with second place to the defending World Cup Champion, Viktoria Rebensburg. Fenninger, who won her first World Cup race in Lienz in December posted the second fastest time on the first run and then extended her lead as she waited in the finish for Rebensburg to come down. In the scorching sun that gave the World Cup finals a tremendous atmosphere, Fenninger had done all she could in terms of trying to win the race, yet had to settle for second.
The race had been billed as the big shoot out for the Giant Slalom Globe between Lindsey Vonn and Rebensburg. Vonn was also chasing twenty world cup points that would give her the record for the most amount of World Cup points scored by a skier in a single season. For Vonn, the loss of her stick in the start gate on the second run meant that the point's record will have to wait for another year. Having won 12 races, four crystal globes and taken the record for the most amount of points by a female, Vonn believes "everything happens for a reason."
Fenninger had "put everything into the last race. It was my goal to do well here," she explained after the race. "It was almost perfect. To win at home would have been brilliant, I tried but Vicky is in such good form and so strong that I can only congratulate her."
Vonn will be back next season after training hard over the summer and was still happy to have placed second in the Giant Slalom Globe. "Last year I was fifteenth or so, so this is a great improvement," she admitted. The 2000 point mark is "a great motivation," she declared "but it is a lot of points and very difficult to do."
With the Overall Globe, the Downhill Globe, the Super G Globe and the Super Combined Globe already in her possession as well as twelve race wins, Vonn believes it will a few days before she will feel the satisfaction of the season. "I am really proud of what I have accomplished this season," she declared "but there is still more to come. I will train hard over the summer," she ended with!

Lewis Hamilton has reiterated that his feud with Nico Rosberg that erupted at the Monaco Grand Prix is over, "done and dusted"...
Lewis Hamilton has reiterated that his feud with Nico Rosberg that erupted at the Monaco Grand Prix is over, "done and dusted."
The Mercedes pairing fell out in Monaco when Rosberg claimed pole position ahead of Hamilton is somewhat questionable circumstances.
Hamilton's feelings about his team-mate's actions were compounded on the Sunday when Rosberg beat him to the Monaco win.
The duo barely acknowledged one another in the wake of the grand prix although a few days later Hamilton revealed that he had cleared the air and was "still friends" with the German who he has known since their days in junior series.
Asked about the fall-out and the subsequent burying of the hatchet, Hamilton told Thursday's Canadian press conference: "I sent the message (the tweet). We spoke after the race.
"Collectively we spoke with the team and then we did so individually, and in the team nothing has changed.
"The team has done a great job in supporting us, with the way it's run with Paddy and Toto. Their support for both of us has been great.
"We're now full steam ahead, we had dinner with the team yesterday, and things have never been better. We're just going from strength to strength.
"Just like friends, we have our ups and downs, we've known each other for a long, long time, but it's done and dusted.
"It's no different to any other experience Nico and I have had in all the years we've been racing together.
"We're now looking forward to working together to try and help this team win the Constructors' Championship."
The team-mates arrived in Montreal for this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix with just four points separating them in the Drivers' standings in Rosberg's favour.
Hamilton added: "We move on, we're pushing forward.
"There's a long, long way to go in the season, and I'm looking forward to that battle."

Grab an old credit card and a pair of scissors. Boom! You are about to solve one of life's least important problems.
Step 1: Snip card in half.
Want bonus points? Round them corners.
Want more bonus points? Use a defunct baby-bell calling card!
Great idea! The hole punch recommendation worked extremely well.
This is my version. Thanks for the idea and the instructable!
You can also use a note card and glue stick. Just fold the notecard in to thirds, then hole punch the corners. Snip the edge with siccors or a nail clipper (I left my scissor in the garage =P)
Before anyone says anything it is an out of date, cancelled debit card that I used so no ID theft issues(I hope)
Can i buy one or make one from anywhere
my dads an electrical engineer, and after one second(he always tries to find faults instead of the good stuff) he said coiling the wire like that kinda makes the earphones faulty after a long time,
The greater risk is insulation abrasion from the rough edges of the card.
A softer type of plastic would avoid this problem... ( think the top of a pringles can)
I'm thinking heavy duty hole punch and my heavy-duty scissors...
Going to look for my old, FULLY DEGAUSSED Visa card now!!!
might work better if i didn't want to eat them all the time....
pick up a good lookin gift card from any shop without putting money on...
3x Bonus points!
I asked how much they were without activation, and was told they were free. I did this project with one of those cards, and it works perfectly. I used two types of hole punch (one from Circa and one plain), and created 8 slotted holes, 3 up each side and one at each end.
The cord wraps really nicely, and the card is attractive. I left it credit card sized - since there is no information on it which could be stolen.

All quotes tagged Dreads
(78 quotes found)
"If I am killed, I can die but once; but to live in constant dread of it, is to die over and over again"
"Once you begin being naughty, it is easier to go and on and on, and sooner or later something dreadful happens."
"We would rather be ruined than changed, We would rather die in our dread than climb the cross of the moment And let our illusions die."
"Oh! dreadful is the check - intense the agony - / When the ear begins to hear, and the eye begins to see; / When the pulse begins to throb, the brain to think again; / The soul to feel the flesh, and the flesh to feel the chain."
"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."

Sorry for the incident with Felipe Massa, Kevin Magnussen says he did his "best" to avoid him but had nowhere to go.
Magnussen and Massa collided through the opening corner of Sunday's German GP as they were fighting for track position.
The impact flipped Massa's car, putting the Williams driver out of the race while Magnussen recovered to finish ninth.
Although Massa blamed the Dane for the crash, the stewards deemed it to be a racing incident.
"A real pity: I think I could've had a decent race if I hadn't had the accident at Turn One," said the McLaren driver.
"I need to see a replay of the accident, but I feel that, if I'd had somewhere to go, then there wouldn't have been contact with Felipe. I did my best to try and avoid the accident, but there wasn't much else I could do.
"I spun after that, and had to box to change tyres and the nosebox. Then I spent the first half of the race coming through from the back of the field. Really, it wasn't the best thing that could happen."
The Dane, though, insists there are "some positives" to be garnered from the day.
"The car behaved extremely well; the rear tyres held on - which is something new for this car, it's usually a bigger problem to keep the rears alive, but today it was okay.
"I'm happy to come away with some points, but I'm disappointed because we should have scored more. I hope we can be on the pace and get a decent result in Hungary next week."
