Yes hi Evonne I'm still here I just thought it would be a good idea to take a break due to depression issues. I have that under control and doing 100% better dealing with my sci yet the pain and all the bs we live with is still there everyday I'm just learning to live with it. I cant change it so why be depressed over it. As a matter of fact I just went to work. I'm doing a good job of hiding it...I think. Thanks for getting back to me and sorry for being absent.
Do you really have Ryan00 as a friend? I have a friend request from name and have not accepted. Under the name when looking at profile, it says Banned.
No hunting for me. Never did. The deer and ducks though, they are in the stream running through back of my lot. Everytime I race for camera to get picture, they are gone. Also some bird with pencil thin legs about 2' long and must have 6' wingspan. Squirrels parading around all the time.
just finaly got onand thanks people dont understand politics now of days there all people who dont even belong here its bogus and you seem like a rocking girl i to hunt as well you got some amazing game wish i got to travle its been a sad year missing duck hunting this year and seeing the beautiful bird swim in river in back yard but thing happen
On Facebook, my name is Randy Miles.
Evonne...thank you for friend. Now, how exactly did you, do you do this thing called "pig hunting."
Hi Evonne~ No they never did try the cymbalta but they did put me on a similar medication Lexapro and now my Topamax is increased to 50mg in the am and 150mg at bedtime which is a pretty high dose but it seems to work pretty well. They do also have me on Oxycontin 10mg three times a day but I hope not to be on the forever. I am still recovering from the surgery which was horrible. I am still in the collar but should be out of it in a couple of weeks and then i will start physical therapy again. Thanks for your advice
Was on my way to doc. visit today and there was a rock in the road....no time to miss it hit it with front wheel and boom....got home noticed a nice dent under my new van....only 1300 miles on it never fails get something new you know its gona get some kind of damage. It will be a easy fix by what I see. When it cools off have to put it on the car lift and bang it out and undercoat it. Always something to fix which is getting old. Could have been worse and got the outside of the body....so I guess under the body is better than outside.....lol... Wish our body was that easy to fix huh.......lol
BTW no more long hair in my picture...must be a 60 age thing or something...lmao..was working on something this spring and got in my eyes.....so after 50 years of long hair went to store bought clippers and went down to 1/4 inch or so. Hated to see it go but it is alot easyer to take care of.
Take care my love and keep those pictures coming and God Bless your family....
You are still my number 1 Hottie..lol.. Keep taking those pictures I love em.
Glad you are doing pretty good....I know its hard. Myself still about the same....pain a little worse...but I'll survive....I hope......lol
Gona have to be a 2 part message I see.....lol
Evonne, Quick question for you the Topamax 50mg twice a day is not working very well for the pain anymore. I am also taking 600mg of Ibuprofen three times a day and Percocet 1 tablet 3 times a day and still constant pain. I am now waiting to get into a pain clinic hopefully I will have an appointment soon. Anyway my question is you said you are taking Cymbalta to go with your Topamax did you start them together or did they add the Cymbalta later? Do you find the side effects ok? I was hoping to just have some suggestions and information when I go in for the appointment of some things I would like to try. I would prefer to not go to the heavy duty narcotics that I know a lot of people end up on like Oxycontin, MScontin, Methadone, etc I'd like to not go down that road if I can find a mix of other things that will work before I go to the big time narcs. Thanks for the help!
Hi Evonne I am new to the site and trying to figure a few things out. Is this a private message or public. I hope you dont mind if I ask a few questions I was looking at friends I only have 2 and you are one of them. I dont know how that happened either lol. Well hope I didnt bother you.

not able to walk unfortunately. I have limited use of my arms, one wrist, and no hands. Great hunting pictures! My tree stand broke when I stepped on it, causing my C4/5 injury. Still love hunting, just have to watch it on TV now. Friends always give me a play-by-play of their hunts as well. What about you? Reading and doing what therapy I can keep me sane right now.
You look very happy in your new pic!
I'm doing great, overheating already though-ugh.
Take care!
Hi Evonne,
Happy Easter!
Nice pics! Looks like you keep busy.
Love your albums, especially the hunting one. Thanks for sharing!
Rarely.. Every time someone comments on a thread that I'm on or sends me a msg. (like this one), I don't get an email reminder. That ultimately led to me to shy away from here and get more attached to Facebook.. I can be easily reached by email as you know.
Hey Evonne... I had my Carpal Tunnel surgery last Thursday and it is healing well and so far very good results. Of course I am in an elctric wheelchair right now so I am not pushing my manual chair which aggravates it. It will be weeks before I can go back to the manual chair for good.\
I hope you baclofen pump works for you. I have heard alot of good results with it.
Hi Evonne,
Glad to see you on. Although we don't know one another personally, seems a comradery builds because of the unique life challenge we all face, along with a concern for one another. Hopefully, the weather is cooperating, and that along with the distraction of your work, is keeping your nerve pain under control. I'm keeping my eye on the FDA approval process of the Arbaclofen placarbil and hoping it will give us all a little better control over the spasticity. We deserve a break, now don't we!! ")) Take Care, Patty
Evonne, your vacation pics look wonderful. Such a beautiful family you are. I hope your recovery is still progressing forward. Patty
I have a great WC attorney. It is just that everything takes forever and he keeps taking them back to court each step of the way. I do not want to post here what is going on, but things are looking up. A shower adaptation estimate has been turned in and the attorney told me that he got an email from the opposing attorney asking if I wanted the check made out to me or the contractor. Of course I said me.
Ideally I want to get an SUV too, with AWD, but I do not know what you mean by back-up steering.
I don't think I have your phone number since you called me.
Evonne, what adaptations did you have done to a car so that you can drive? WHat kind of car do you have? THANKS! Kari
Hi Evonne,
I am still struggling with Worker's Comp (although I've recently been to court and things MIGHT go my way), trying to recover, and emotionally adjust to my new reality.
Hope things are going well with you!
Hey..atleast you're staying busy & as long as you're happy, it's all good.
Thanks,glad you liked 'em.
Hey girl! Glad to recently see you back posting again. I hope work, family & sci drama are taking it easier on ya! Hugs.
Actually I like sailing. Have a Freedom 21 that I sail on a lake. I take kids or adults with physical disabilities sailing every week. I'm out about 4 days a week right now, getting plenty of sun!
Hey, Evonne. I've been ok, thanks. How've you been? I hope you're enjoying the summer.
Yeah ya gotta be careful. You look great and the vacation pics look so relaxing - I need to plan me a proper vacation too. I'm doing good, I'm seeing a european man who's working here in las vegas and I'm set to start school in the fall and am really excited bout that. Well it was so good to hear from you and am glad you're doing well
Hey Beautiful thanks for your messages. Love your pics, Bermuda looks fun, I'm envious.
Yup I am! I wish I could enjoy the weather more but i'm working all day usually but at least I still have the weekends!
hey there, I'm loving it! I wish I had more time to soak up the sun but its definately a state I love. What part of CA do you live in?
Miss Evonne, I haven't said hello in awhile, I thought about you the other day, I'm sure you're busy and doing well
Great pics of your hunting and camping trips. Your l'il hunter will be dragging home his own bucks soon enough, congrats. Funny, I still have a couple Daisy BB guns from when my girls were younger. Good for plinking. Hope you are well, take care
Happy Turkey Day Gobble Gobble
Hey sorry it took me so long to reply,I'm just learning how to see these.Well my accident was Jan, 15th 2009.It was me just acting like I was 15 or something running down my stairs at home and fell into the wall. My recovery has gone OK,I really expected to just get over all of this and get back to normal,,,didn't turn out that way. I am blessed I can walk and move everything ,just not like before.I have OK strength not close to before ,i can't close my right hand all the way anymore and my arms and hands hurt 24/7.My main problem is nerves....I cant tell temperature from my arms down.Hot or cold. My feet feel like they are frost bitten 24/7. Thanks so much for sending the text,It is so hard to explain to people what is wrong,,sometimes it is like ,,,well you look fine....
How are you ? How long has it been since your accident? I hope your recovery has gone well.Do you have any of the same nerve damage ? Now that i know how to see these I will be looking for your reply Thanks Ant
Been wondering about you...how've you been?? Seen your joke with the babe on the bike... where were they hiding when I was a kid?? I'm ok thanks, dealing. Be well n stay in touch, OK.
(sorry this just made it here, I posted it on my own profile...!)
Hi Evonne,
My name is Patty. I'm new here at the forum, as well as a fairly newbie SCI patient. Was injuried in a roll over MVA on Jan 11, 2009, after working three back to back sixteen hr shifts at the hospital in which I was employeed as a neuro nurse. My level injury is similiar to yours at the level of C 5/6, with a spinal fusion of C4-T1, due to broken vetebra. As I viwed your album and watched as your story unfolded, I became overwhelmed with inspiration. What a marvelous job you have done in your recovery. I for one would like to thank you for sharing. Patty
how've you been, miss your jokes you always have good one's!
Hey Evonne,
I'm doing pretty good. How about yourself?
I've had a pretty fun summer. Looking forward to my daughter coming home from Iraq here in a little over a week (August 25th).
Hope all is well with you. Find me on Facebook (Kevin Bass in Cash, Texas).
Take care.
hi hun! the summer has been great for the least, nothing like the legs in the mist of it all but welcome! hoppe you are good annd enjoying your summer......
Thanks. I think there are more of us, we just seem to be the silent type. I had a couple of margaritas last night so maybe was feeling more bold.
The liberals in our society seem so blind and have such an unconditional support it is frightening. Thanks for the support!
Hi there,
I just saw your "friend request" ... thanks. How's your summer going? I spent a couple of weeks in Phoenix - what a scorcher :-). I'm back in the Springs now .... much cooler. Time to get back to work ...
I'm doing pretty ok now, thank you... took my pics down for a bit, like i explained, gonna start all over again soon. You haven't been around much lately, I hope you're okay... take care and thanks for your message.
Hello Evonne. How've you been? I've been good. Same old same around here. Not much change but I'm ok with that. Summer is finally here in Alberta, so I've been trying to get out and enjoy it as much as possible before it takes off again. Which is always too soon. Thanks for saying hi, Evonne. Take care for now.
I love your signature quote. Mind if I borrow it? Thank you for your patriotism, Evonne.
I got pissed off at some people and their comments so I wanted to delete my account! Yes the clinical trial is SCI related. It is a 30 week program 3 times a week for 45 minutes. The first 6 weeks I am still standing and then the next 6 weeks I am on a glider and then the next 6 weeks we add FES! and then it goes back down to still standing. I do a 24 hour urine culture every other sunday. It is to see if my standing and such reduces the amount of calcium in my urine, as well as bone density.
I am already living in NC, we are just moving to Charlotte which is 2 hours from where we live now. I went to high school there so I am thinking it won't be too much of a change.
Hi there,
Thanks for the note ... yes, this is definitely a "team" effort. The whole family gets to "play." I've certainly learned a lot about this world of SCI over the years ....
Looks like you guys are outdoorsy people, too ... nice pictures. I should post some of ours, too. I'm glad my husband doesn't much let his injury stop him from doing what he loves ... even at his level he just "does" .... kayaking, snowskiing, handbiking, camping, etc. .... He says you just have to get out there and DO. To be honest with you, that makes it easier for me, too .... it's a little more work but it creates a certain level of "normal" - you know?
Have a great summer,
Sorry, I had to split this post up.
With all the nonsense going on with my Dr's, life is still GOOD! Not only do I get to celebrate Father's day today, Tree & I are celebrating our anniversary. I can't believe she has put up with me for 12 years.
Thanks again for the check up. Knowing other people are caring makes the small things disappear.
How are you and yours doing? Any plans for the summer?
Thanks for the check up. The family is doing great, Eli turned 7 and Mikey & Steven turned 4. Steven is learning to ride a bike W/OUT training wheels. They grow up way too fast.
I'm staying out of trouble, but not by choice. I don't know if you've been following the Mitrofanoff thread, but I just had that done in May and have been waiting to give a follow up until after everything is done with. The Dr's didn't put me back on my blood thinners after the surgery and I developed a bloodclot in both legs. I spent another week in the hospital for that, and didn't get all the clots taken care of yet. I go back to Indy tomorrow for a follow up and the plan is to ask that Dr. what went wrong with my medicines.
hey there! not yet, I'm leaving tomorrow (Monday) to fly out! project walk starts Tuesday!
I have a tilite ZRa. Where's the blood clot? that doesn't sound too good.
Hi Evonne, I'm doing really well. I've been playing with this new wc and I'm really digging it. I've also been doing some traveling which is always fun. I read that you've seem to have figured out your constipation problems, I'm glad to hear this that must have sucked for you. Thanks for checking in with me and saying "hi" Jerri
Hi! Well I was trying to delete my account and deleted all my stuff! I shall add them back in due time! Not much going on just doing a clinical trail at the Rehab center and planning on moving to Charlotte, NC next year!
Doing well here. Hope things are going your way there.
Bente and AddieSue are coming to visit for a couple of days next week so I'm really excited! This should be lots of fun. Hope to have many pics of their visit and tour around my city.
Many **hugs**.
We're doing OK. Thanks for asking. How have things been going with you?
Been ok, busy moving to a different apartment. Besides that, same old stuff. How about you?
i'm doing pretty well, thanks for asking. how are you?

Don't work the summer away woman and enjoy those boys in your life.How's your pain lately?
Hey Evonne,
Thanks for the message! You're very beautiful in your new photo. Therapy can be grinding, but hopefully, it helps you sleep like a rock.
No really cool summer plans at the moment. What about you? Taking your little one somewhere special?
Hi, Thanks
I have another two weeks to finish up some assignments and then I will have finished my first of two years of the Executive MBA program.
I have started my company - Accessibility Consultants Inc. here in Calgary. I will primarily be doing accessibility studies for companies and institutions. my web site is gettingaccess.com I have not had the time to do anything with it yet but I will be soon.
I saw your profile and all the photo's you put up. Looks like you had a tough time at rehab but all your hard work paid off.
Thanks again
i seen your pics awesome, you got really bless, i find myself smiling down on your recoverying

I posted some info about my situation in the Baclofen FAQ thread, I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences. I think most people have generally good results with the things, good luck to you if you decide to get one!
Hey E, Thanks for the message. Kids are great and Happy! And a little smarter than I! Pat
Bah! The baclofen pump has been a complete failure, it's cranked all the way up and it's still doing nothing. I'm waiting on test results to find out why. Other than that, business as usual I guess. And you?
Hey Evonne, good to hear from you, I was wondering how ya been doing, haven't seen you on in awhile, I hope you're doing well also . Jerri
I'm making it. How about yourself?
hot and funny like always....best regards.
Yea,this place sux anymore!I'm glad for the friends I've found,that's it.It is a shame cause it is a well needed community...I'm doing better since it's getting warmer,winter is rough on me!How's work,your kids?Anymore return lately?I hope all is well...let me know. S
Oh yea,you're just as sweet!
Are you on facebook?
Hey sweetie!Love the new pic-pretty....haven't seen you around in awhile,hope you're doing good though!
Hey, I just sent you a facebook request with a note saying that I go by Danine on CC.
Just lots of pain with me. Shelby's doing great...on a diet and losing all kinds of weight! CC is what it always is...the good, the bad, and the ugly! I try to concentrate on the good, but I can totally understand the need to take a break sometimes. Hope things are going well with you! BTW, are you on facebook?
Just dropping by to say hi. I haven't seen you around much lately. Hope you're doing OK.
The pleasure is mine, both friendship and having served the people who make this country so beautiful. I enjoyed your album, too. You have a beautiful family, and are beautiful yourself, I hope you (and hubby) don't mind my saying so.
Yes, I favor the picture with my puppy, too. Kind of camera shy since my injury. Hah, I saw what's going on in the joke thread, that's funny. And yeah, I know what you mean about CC being "difficult" lately.
Take care now, see ya on the forums.
Lady, with all these jokes, you remind me of when I workes in the sporting goods business. Ten jokes a day, and I used to be able to remember them all. Are you hanging arond too many hunters?
Thank you very much. I spent the day sleeping and doing nursing interviews LOL
reply to fentanyl.
ive been using it off and on for years. I think Im going to to be changing that soon though, because I end up going through withdrawal every 48 hours, and then all I can do is roll up into a shivering ball of misery. I havnt gone to methadone, as the stipulations, and associations to the drug are pretty big to get past especially around here.
Newbie? I think you're probably well broken in by now!
We won't talk about the new year so far, but thanks for asking though. How's yours? Any resolutions?
Thanks Evonne. I am happy that someone does. Hope the New Year brings happiness for you.
Hey sweetie, I hope things are going great for you. You look great in your pic!
don´t know if cymbalta works, (i take several meds, so i´m not sure what works) problem might be forgetfulness?
I trust most in gabapentin
Hi Evonne, Glad you made the trip to Va. Hope you enjoyed your visit. When I hunt on my own, I hunt family land or property of friends. However, most every weekend of hunting season I am coordinating a hunt in some part of the state. I direct the Wheelin' Sportsmen program here in Va.(an outreach program of the Nat Wild Turkey Fed.) We provide outdoor opportunities to the disabled such as hunting, fishing, shooting events. So every weekend from Nov to Jan I'm off hunting on new properties. We had 17 deer hunts during that time so my season is packed with travel and long days. Fun, but not without lots of work on my part.
And yes the cold is tough on me and the other hunters. I wear down underwear and for the most part it keeps me plenty warm but I look like the Michelin man in the woods! But I always get cold, just comes with the sport
Take care....
I just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year. We had a very nice and easy New Year. We took the kids to see Bedtime Stories. It was an awesome movie. Steven (3 yo) was so into the movie. He clapped every time Adam Sandler's character would do something great.
Looks like you're having a blast in your new pic.
Hope you have a great year.
Dropping by to say Happy New Year!!! I like your new profile pic!
Merry Christmas
Have a Merry Christmas Miss Evonne
thanks, evonne! i hope your holidays aren't laborious and tiresome like most find it! i'm taking a break from school, trust me!
Muddling through I suppose, and how are you? I'm anxiously awaiting the baclofen pump placement, which will hopefully happen in January. Until then, I'm the tinman. Oil can!
Thanks Evonne!! Yeah haven't been posting as much for the reason, i feel nobody really reads what i say!! but i guess i should just post to put in my opinion!! I hope that you have a great Holiday as well!!!
Hi Evonne! Happy Holiday's to you too! I'm looking forward to the pie!
Thanks Evonne. I hope you have a good holiday season as well.
Thanks Evonne...hope you and your family have a very happy holiday season!
hey thanks you 2! I will!
Thanks Evonne. We have already had some of our Christmas. My wife's mom & dad took us all (wife's b&s and their kids 18) to Disney World this year for Christmas. It was great spending time with the whole family. The only thing better than spending time with the family was the weather and the looks on our kids' faces when they saw the magic of Disney. I'll try and post some pictures later.
Hope you have a wonder and safe Holiday Season.
The same to you! Happiest of holidays to you, too, Evonne.
Hi Evonne, thanks for the welcome. It's been a very rough year for my family and me but I'm slowly adjusting. I will say I'm doing better than I would have thought at this point, but my expectations were pretty low. Hope you are doing well.
Hey Evonne. I've been w/o internet-my air card modem broke and I just got it replaced. Just in time to come back and see this place is crazy!I'm good, just been dealing w/ my moms health problems,ugh. How r u doing girl?
Lady I would have fell out of the boat if I would have caught a fish like that!
Thanks Evonne! I'm hanging in there. Hoping to do a Disneyland trip in the next few weeks. How's things with you?
I've been good... thank you... how have you been doin?
Thanks, I am feeling better, but still going to doc tomorrow. I hope you're doing well too
I haven't had a chance to write about it. My camera is still packed. Can you tell I'm running behind?
Good for you on working hard at therapy! You're still in what many refer to as that golden window of opportunity. I was told whatever returns I'd get would occur in the first eighteen months. Many now say that golden window is up to two years. (That's, of course, if an injury allows for improvements.)
For some who have the ability to have some sort of returns, it seems if they keep working at it some get stronger even beyond two years.
I encourage you to keep at it. Good for you.
That with work and children and being married and having a home would be a full-on, full-time job and then some.
Keep pushing yourself in therapy Evonne. I know it gets hard and I know it's frustrating with hands that don't work, but keep doing what you can and keep pushing to do more.
Sending good thoughts your way,
Mary Ellen
I've done that before when I posted a message then decided later I wanted to delete it. You can't delete the entire post, but you can delete what you typed; but there has to be some characters on the screen in order to save the "new" message.
Cold and still with UTI.
I don't feel ok, don't tell me you can see it when I am writing. I have a friend here who calls me and tells me not to write sometimes because I sound angry and she knows I am not
thank you. what a big fish.
Hey Evonne. I'm not too bad, thanks for asking. You have a great pic as well. That fish is Ginormous.
I've been here since 2004. They can't get rid of me that easily.
No. I haven't left CC. Just will not be posting regularly in Politics for a while. We are definitely and have always been outnumbered. But more so now than in the past. It got impossible to get a point across or keep up.
Thanks for acknowledging my "wife." She's awesome! How is your husband and son?
BTW, DDD is Degenerative Disc Disease.
Hi, thanks for stopping by. I've been busy...end of semester chaos as usual...lol. Just got an MRI report that says I have atrophy and edema at T6-7 now which is two levels above my original injury site. My whole back's a mess because of DDD...maybe I should have them remove my spine and put in gill slits so I can go live with the dolphins...yes, I am losing my mind...lol. How are things going with you? How's that handsome little boy of yours?
I've been doing well. And how are you and yours? Planning a good Christmas with the family and for the little one? What's the big surprise you have planned for him this year?
No. I've retired for a while.
holy hannah that's a huge salmon! i'm doing well and yeah i can't wait for the school work to be over. They're ridiculous classes. yeah, those transfer videos don't work well for some reason if you're doing the through the transfer sticky.
that should take you to the links that work. i transfer faster than that now, but it's still good. the one leg up first is so helpful especially if you have horrible spasms.
i kinda like my zombie mouse! maybe i'll change it in the spirit of christmas...or he can represent the ghost of christmas future? we'll see.
Thanks Evonne. I had a great time, but it's good to be home again, too.
How've you been Girl? We need to catch up.
Hey hey jokester bud. Was wonderin' where you been hiding. I'll just about post anything.. as I so wanted to post the watermelon patch in front of the White House. I know that'd stir up some peeps, lol. Doing good and hoping you are too.
How's it going?It's raining here which makes me sleepy.lol
damn that sounds like you had lots of fun. wish I were there for the halibut, I miss eating it and out here it is not fresh and it cost to darn much
Noticed you're online now and just thought I'd drop by to say hi and Happy Thanksgiving.
I'm sending a comment about the thread where you posted that you don't feel sexual anymore... We are about the same age, I didn't have a TBI either, I am also happily married just like you and I don't feel sexual either. My body image has suffered a lot because of the sci. The bowel program and bladder program makes me feel like that part of my body is for nothing but bodily functions as opposed to being a pleasure zone. When we do have sex, I don't enjoy it like I use to. I believe that there are some things like sex that you just have to feel to appreciate fully. I don't know if you share any of these feelings but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Sorry I took so long to answer. I have just been in and out and busy and not feeling well. Things are going pretty good I guess everything has seemed to stabilize for the moment so I am waiting for the getting better for the getting worse which ever comes first. Thanks for taking time to ask and hope everything is going well with you.
Hi Evonne,
I am sorry I didn't respond sooner and apologize. Ugh, just too much going on around here LOL! I think you asked me if I had an sci injury. I guess the best way to answer that is no as in terms of an accident or paralysis. I have had two cervical fusions, lumbar is messed up, coccyx is too. Sooo...to make a long story short I have had a great deal of neuro pain in the last 8 years but it is slowly getting better. My Neurologist diagnosed it as Central Pain Syndrome. I think, however, it is Central Sensitization. In any case, I came to this website originally to read up on pain management, etc. It has been very helpful.
oh man I just saw your picture with the salmon...I think I am in lust..haha
yes I am, I have 70% return on left side and 30% return on right, and I also have foot drop and it is turning to the side about 90 degrees out still a lot of spasticity that is why I have a pump. I try to stay on my feet all day not nececarily walking as it hurts my hip and lower back. I wear the hell out of shoes now and only on the right side. I try to ride my recumbant bike each day for 20-30 min I have to do a lot of stretching. I am finally able to walk about 150ft w/ a quad cane with out having to take a break. I do have a lot of clse calls as far as falling.
My first year was a joke, I was trying to learn to walk and our grandson that was staying with us was learning to crawl...he did circles around me.
Yep, that is my boyfriend!<3 I hope you had a good weekend too!
Hi Evonne!
Yes, well, I basically live just inside it...Geist area. You might as well say Geist and Fishers are one in the same. Where do you live now?
I never did actually I just use an empi focus unit, until that breaks I'll use it. works pretty well.
I'm doing alright.Glad ya'll liked the movie.I think I'm gonna take my nieces to see Return to Madagascar next weekend-I hope a 3 yr. old will sit through it!(?)Sorry the Cymbalta isn't doing the trick. Nerve pain sux, I finally did ROM today and it's through the roof-hadn't done it in months!oops...hugs
thanks for the comment about my pictures. Glad you liked them
Glad you're feelingbetter. Did you get that movie in?
Just been down lately, not much point in getting up. I like living in Israel, don't think I would survive the winters in Montreal where I grew up. I don't work, I didn't finish university and I don't want to so I'm kinda at a loss (it's my own fault). Adjusting? What's that? lol. My mom lives in Montreal but I have some good friends here that are like "adopted" parents. Thanks for the message. Hope your son feels better soon!
Hey Evonne, spent most of the weekend in bed. How are things at your end?
I had to LOL when I saw your comment about being a spinewire/cando user...that was the OLD name of this website...
Take care and God bless...
Hey E, no prob. I'm loving all yours, esp. the nudie ones, lol. I've still got a few but keep on sending and thx..
Hope you're well. Have a great weeklend!
Have not been the best lately. I am trying to find out if I have some kidney problems. UTI's are a bitch; know I am not telling you anything. I also fell and broke my leg. The crazy thing though is I didn't know I had for a month and my leg has already healed. Now my leg is crooked and I am not able to get my feet on my chair by myself.
Been awhile sence I have been here so how have you been?
The Hendricks camp for sure. Jr. 88 has had my attention for years. I am used to this type of driver have been a Cubs and Vikings fan all my life in order to get my heart used to coming close, but no cigar.
I am very happy, thanks for your kind words. my hair is super thick and straight, I would love to have curly hair like yours. I have limited hand function too and I manage to use a curling iron just keep practicing you'll get better. Jerri
Hey, thanks for accepting my invite Evonne. Also for visiting my family. I am crazy for that little girl and her daddy. They make my life worth living.
I live in St. John it's about 45 minutes south of Chicago.
Yes, we've been together nearly 15 years. She's been with me every step (or roll) of the way. I couldn't have made it this far without her.
The epi's really helped me when I was able to get them---I have sucky insurance now. I'm not convinced that this gets easier. I bet it waxes and wanes, but I doubt it gets easier with time. I bet it's AB's that are telling you that...lol.
Thanks for accepting my friend request.
I'm still adjusting. I think it's getting harder instead of easier. I was able to keep some excitement going the first 10 months or so when I was still making a lot of progress. The physical pain has been a bit better during the past couple of weeks with the addition of Klonapine. I'm not working, but going to school. I had been accepted into a PhD program just a couple of months before the SCI. I knew I'd hate myself forever if I didn't go ahead and start the program. I don't have kids, but my partner and I were foster parents for several years...hard work. Why have you been in bed all day?
i've been good... how you doin?
Thanks, but you just caught me at the right time while I was online. I'm not always so speedy.
i want to be a criminal profiler/forensic psychologist so i'll need a phd for sure. yeah i took horticulture at a vocational technical school when i was in high school. i earned senior of the year for floriculture.
i'm going for a bachelor's in psychology, but i might go further if i need it. i'm taking it easy, 3 courses at a time, but i'll probably take 4 or 5 next semester to try to get the transfer program finished up faster, so i'm guessing about 4 years.
I use to get those injections a few years back when I had bad lower discs. Did they help? Hows the cymbalta working?Yes, it is a never ending battle. I'm struggling now w/ recurrent uti's.I'm seeing a specialist @ UVA, but not til Dec!ugh.We're living "the life" lolHave a good weekend...
It's going well, doing homework as usual, how about you?
Hey thanks for the mssg. Hope you are well.
I am just the camara guy this year when I get out. this is the first season I have been out since my accident back in 05/06 season when I fell.
Thank you, Evonne, that's me and my dog Lemmy. He's the sweetest and smartest mutt.
cheers, to you, E.
I hope your meetings went well. I hope the Cymbalta works. I tried it but had to go off of it b/c my anxiety got so bad and I needed back on the Effexor. Ugh, I feel like an addict.I'm on Lyrica and it makes it tolerable.I don't think anything will knock it all!Sorry you have the poo blues.It's probably from you8r meds. It took me about a yr 1/2 to get regulated.Happy,happy.joy,joy!Oh,"darrel" is on my friend list.Well, have a good day girl!
Hey girl. How are things? Slowly getting better I hope.
I'd forgotten that you hunted until I saw your picture. You need to talk to darrel,he just started hunting again. Have you been out yet this year?
Thanks for the invite.
I think I finally figured this new feature out, getting the message to the right place (if you don't get this, I guess I don't have it figured out).
What do you mainly hunt for? I normally just hunt deer, but I might try for the overabundence of rabbits we have. MMMM, rabbit stew.
E, I have to tell on myself. At first I thought I was inviting people or they were inviting me and changing their minds because all I saw was a question mark by my name and sometimes theirs. I wrote a friend of mine and asked if it was okay if we were friends via PM. This was someone I'd met in person. Then, I figured out that it was because I did not have an avatar. LOL That made the question mark appear.
I was pretty embarrassed.
I'm guessing the album feature is for pics? I'll give it a look.
If there are people you are friendly with on the board, invite them to be friends. I was a little shy about it at first, especially when I thought I was getting rejected because I had question marks by my name over and over.
I'm such a doofus.
I have goofed on accepting friends a time or two. (Actually twice.) I would click the box to accept and then, I'd forget to click the save box to make it work. I did it a couple of times.
I'm sorry you had your injury, E, but I'm glad you joined CC. You add and give a lot.
Mike.......i hope this get to u, YES i still hunt and will continue to as long as i can still pull my 3 lb trigger, when that gets hard i'll go to 2 or 1 lb even if i end up back in a wheelchair i will figure out a way to hunt....my buddy Chad who is in a chair hunts more than i do
Hey, Hello right back.
I'm impressed with the size of that pig. That's a pretty large creature.
I never really got to hunt, but I loved shooting on the range any chance I got. These days I have to get help with a gun set up, but I've done it a couple of times off a bench rest. It's still great fun for me.
Thanks for adding me to your friends list. You are the first....lol So sorry that you had to have a SCI injury happen to you and your family. Takes time to adjust. You ever need to talk call on me....lol Art
I still hunt when I get the chance. Last yr, I found my muzzleloader had a lot of rust behind the breech plug and didn't get it cleaned out in time for hunting. I hope to do some later this yr. Do you still hunt?
I take it you bagged that critter. How kewl is that?! Had a chance to get into the woods much since? I know it meant a lot to Darrel recently.
Hi Evonne. Thanks for the message. Yes, I walk full time. I have brown sequard syndrome, so my right side is stronger but my left has better sensation. Thankfully, in sales we don't need too much other than our brains.
Congrats on your recovery! Keep it up!
I have to ask, what is that in your profile picture? I'm assuming it is something that walked into your crosshairs, but I can't make it out.

This week we got our hands on the only Raspberry Pi Model A in the United States, thanks to Limor "Ladyada" Fried and her team at Adafruit, a do-it-yourself company started by Fried in New York City.
Raspberry Pi is a simple, affordable computer designed by Eben Upton of the U.K., who dreamed of building a computer that's accessible to anyone. To keep the cost down, only minimal components were included in this credit-card-sized computer. There isn't even a case.
The Model A is the slimmed-down sibling of the $35 Model B computer that came out about a year ago, opening up a world to new computer programmers and fanatics. By removing the Ethernet connection and one of the two USB ports, and by reducing the amount of onboard memory, the company was able sell the Model A for all of $25.
In a short time, Raspberry Pi has created a devoted following of programmers who have taken the technology and run with it. It's been used to build home arcades, capture images from near space, become a super-Nintendo -- even a supercomputer when a father and son linked 64 individual Raspberry Pi's together.
The Model A is currently rolling out in Europe, but a U.S. release date hasn't been set.

Okay hockey fans, forget your helmet, shoulder pads, and jock cup, because you're really going to need extra padding on you backside when EA's NHL 08 kicks your butt.
EA's hockey games can sometimes leave fans confused as to what to expect. Some are more arcade oriented, while others venture in the sim neighborhood. I'm sure you and your friends have your favorite hockey titles, but before you get too comfortable and cocky with your choice, you've got to try NHL 08 out. You might just find a new contender for best hockey game.
This is one challenging game. It rises to the occasion. It's not difficult for the sake of being difficult, if you know what I mean. The gameplay is always in reach, regardless of your skill level, but you've got to learn to be adaptable and change your style of play on the fly. The A.I. is almost sentient. It adapts to your strategies continually. If you maintain the same style of play, you're going to lose. It's that simple. NHL 08 is like playing against a very formidable single-player, a good player that is always trying to get a line on you. I've played against a lot of humans that were not even close to being this smart. I'm not talking skilled, I'm talking smart.
I complain that a lot of sports games don't see yearly improvements. In a lot of cases you wind up with the same game year after year with nothing more than an updated roster and the addition of a new mode or two. NHL 08 is the exception. This is the year to buy a new hockey game.
NHL 08 not only looks great, but it plays well. It's like driving a Ferrari. A new skating engine is partly responsible for the upgrade. It's really smooth and has a natural feel. The controls are similar to last year's scheme, but they have been made to be more responsive. Speed and direction commands come courtesy of the analog sticks. Press one down for a speed increase, or ease up to gracefully glide atop the ice surface. The physics is remarkable. You'll feel the weight of your player as well as his inertia. If you just let him coast, he will eventually come to a stop at an area consistent with his speed and momentum. This allows you the ability to more accurately predict where players will wind up on the ice when you switch to another one. The fact that this is accomplished with such a natural sense of feel lets you play a more strategic game. And if you want to win, you're going to have to play more strategically.
A nice touch is the implementation of the skill stick move. It requires the use of both the left and right stick to strafe, or deke, the opponent. Used in conjunction with a face button, this move requires some dexterity to pull off. You have to have both sticks working in tandem with each other. One stick dictates your player's position, while the other determines what direction the puck will be facing. It takes some time to get used to but it's a worthwhile system to learn. It will definitely give you the edge, more so against another human opponent. The A.I. gets pretty wise to your moves and counteracts with, at times, almost unnatural accuracy.
Strategy plays a huge role in the gameplay. You'll have to play a more simulated version of hockey. There are times when you can barrel down the middle of the ice and score a goal like a determined bully, but this is the exception not the rule. Passing is the key to winning. The more unpredictable your patterns are, the less likely the A.I. is to anticipate your next move. You'll find yourself more focused on the immediacy of the gameplay since you'll always be looking for those momentary clearings where you can make a successful pass. Nothing stays open long so you have to take advantage of these pockets of opportunity, just like a real game. The A.I. will make the occasional mistake, but it doesn't give you gifts.

On May 13, 1949, a forty-three year old man from Lake County named Virgil Darnell Hawkins received a letter from the University of Florida Law School rejecting his application because he was African-American. Hawkins refused to accept the prejudiced decision without a fight, and promptly filed suit against the Florida Board of Control in 1950. His legal battle would carry on for nine years, laying the foundation for the integration of Florida's graduate and professional schools.
Despite the larger civil rights victory, Hawkins emerged from the ordeal partially defeated as he never gained admission to the institution he considered "one of the finest law schools in the country." The case of Virgil Hawkins v. Board of Control brought Florida into the national school desegregation conversation, serving as an antecedent to the Brown v. Board of Education ruling. Furthermore, Hawkins' ordeal underscores the tenacity with which segregation advocates fought the drive for an integrated university system, some even going so far as to suggest that such a change would incite "public mischief."
Before Virgil Hawkins took his stand, there was no law school for African-Americans in Florida. Rather than fund a separate institution in Florida or permit African-Americans to attend an existing school with whites, the state instituted a law in 1945 to provide scholarships for select African-American students to study at segregated law schools outside the state. When Virgil Hawkins refused to accept that alternative, the Board of Control approved plans to open a segregated law school at Florida A&M College. By 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled on two related cases, Sweatt v. Painter and McLaurin v. Oklahoma, professing the inherent inequality of segregated graduate institutions. Despite these rulings, the Florida court still refused to admit Hawkins, and would continue to refuse even after the so-called Brown II decree issued by the Supreme Court in 1955 to clarify the original Brown decision. Hawkins persisted in his fight against the state's segregationist position, but more challenges were on the way. In 1958, the Board of Control established a new minimum score on the law school entry exam for incoming students, setting the admission threshold fifty points above Hawkins' 1956 score. As a result, Hawkins was officially denied not because of his race, but rather because he was disqualified by the new rules regarding test scores. Later that summer, federal district judge Dozier DeVane mandated that all qualified applicants be admitted to graduate and professional schools in Florida regardless of race.
Nine years after the initial integration suit, African-American veteran George H. Starke, not Virgil Hawkins, enrolled at the University of Florida Law School in September 1958 without incident. As for Virgil Hawkins, he eventually received his law degree in New England, and was admitted to the Florida Bar in 1977. He resigned in 1985 following complaints about his practice.
Virgil Hawkins' case is an excellent example of how the Civil Rights Movement played out in the courtrooms of Florida as much as it did at lunch counters, public beaches, and city buses. The legal battles fought by Hawkins and others laid the groundwork for an integrated education system for all of Florida.
Florida proudly joins the rest of the United States in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the 60th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision in the case of Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas.

...."She told me she wanted me to end her pain"
LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - Moments after his wife lay in her bed...with two gunshot wounds...Ernest Chris Chumbley picked up the phone and dialed 911.
"Hello….I just shot my wife," Chris Chumbley is heard telling the dispatcher in the 911 tapes obtained by WKYT. "What happened again?" the dispatcher asks.
"You need to come out here," Chumbley responds. "Tell me what happened, sir," the dispatcher requests. "Give me police. I'm under arrest," Chumbley said.
From jail Chumbley says he shot his wife with a .32 handgun because she was terminally ill with breast cancer...and she asked him to "stop her pain." "I shot her," he said from the Laurel County Detention Center. "She died from my shots, but it's not murder."
Chumbley said he simply complied with his wife's request. "She told me she wanted me to end her pain. All I said,'Jay, all I've got is what the doctor gave you. She said 'no, I want you to stop my pain for good,'" said Chumbley.
"We're still investigating this. It's in the early stages. And there are other people to interview on this case. So we're not going to speculate on what the circumstances are," said Gilbert Acciardo with the Laurel Co. Sheriff's Office. Neighbors say the couple had a great marriage that lasted more than 20 years.
And one that was very loving between the two. But they say in the last couple of years, the cancer had gotten the best of Virginia Chumbley. "She was hurting real bad.
We could hear her at night like she was gasping for air," said next door neighbor Stanley Campbell. Chumbley pleaded not guilty to murder charges in Laurel District Court. He's in jail on a $200,000 cash bond. He doesn't blame police for arresting him. "I just did what she asked. And I would expect no different from her if I was asking her'

Steel caps to cover the rear strut openings on the 1988 Fiero
Cover up the rear strut openings with these push in steel caps.
The OEM factory screws are too long and will hit these caps. So I include shorter screws.
They are not painted. They are steel so they need to be painted. Easy to paint.
They have small dents in them from the manufacturing process. They are mass produced and probably dumped in bins etc so they end up with small dents. One can prime and sand them to eliminate these small dents.
NOTE: I machine these to mild hand press fit in a 88 steel chassis section I have here. The hole opening size and such probably varies from left to right and on every 88. Test fit them first to see how they press in place.

Rodney, thanks for your message. I did get them a couple days ago and got a chance to actually check them out today. In my opinion they look great. I like them. Chris N.

Sixteen years since Amazon launched. Well into an era when we can buy anything with a click. Why are there still Black Friday headlines about shoppers trampled in a mad effort to get their mitts on the latest offline deal?
Take it from a guy named Keith who nearly bought it at the entrance to a Target in Buffalo.
A decade ago I would have predicted that by now Keith would spend his Black Fridays tucked behind a laptop in the safety of his own home. I underestimated the resilience of terrestrial stores. Sure, a combination of e-commerce and a difficult economy have left many storefronts vacant, and certain verticals like record stores and local bookstores have been hit hard. But plenty of people who could find better deals faster online are still getting in their cars and heading to the mall.
One irony of this era is the explosive success of the Apple retail stores. People line up outside the stores that sell the very devices that were supposedly going to doom terrestrial shopping. On Black Friday, local Apple outlets were selling an average of 8.8 iPads an hour. Wouldn't it be easier to buy an iPad on a computer? Can we at least predict that those who bought these iPads will buy their next one using their iPad?
Probably not.
Apple launched its first retail store almost ten years ago, at the moment e-commerce was set to really take hold. Today they operate more than 300 stores that did a cool $3.5 billion in revenue last year.
Stores like Apple and Best Buy sell the products you'd think we'd be most likely to buy online, yet we're still heading to stores - even when it means braving the most aggressive holiday crowds.
Groupon has been described as the fastest growing company ever. Instead of taking business away from offline stores, its entire business model is aimed at providing discounts that send you to your local stores. In its first national deal, Groupon got more than 440,000 internet users to buy a coupon for use at Gap stores – not at gap.com. Not many web experts predicted that one of the hottest companies on the internet would be providing a new way to distribute coupons for use at local retailers.
On one hand, the pace at which online brands have entered the mainstream has been astonishing. This year's Cyber Monday chalked up more than a billion in sales. On the other hand, does it surprise you that Amazon is only the 26th largest retailer in the US? Sears is number 9.
I'm equally addicted to convenience and the internet, and yet I just got back from a two-hour stroll through a massive Target store. Could I have purchased the same items faster, easier, and possibly cheaper without leaving my desk? Maybe. But there is still something about being in a store, seeing and holding the products and loading a real shopping cart, not just a virtual one. And the web has always been better for searching than browsing.
There's also the community element. I would never trade the experience of regularly taking my son to our local market for the supposed convenience of an online grocer. I know almost everyone in the store a few blocks from my house. The guys in the butcher shop know I'm a Jewish vegetarian, so they give me a fist bump when I buy the rest of my family a couple pounds of center-cut bacon.
I'm sure Norm Peterson would continue to head down to the Cheers bar even after he realized he could have beer delivered by Safeway.com. Sometimes you want to be where everyone knows your name, not just your username.

Hi Mary. How could we not yet be friends? I'm sending your request to remedy that.
I am a couple weeks behind my intention but wondering if you might be coming to the open house on Thursday. I hope to go would love to see you.
Hi Mary I am new today to this site. My son was injured 11/22 lifting weights and broke C1, C2, and crushed C5, C6 and C7 they are classifiying as a C6, C7. He has limited use of arms but nothing in hands but has feeling. He is currently back in the hosp with pneumonia in both lungs. Diaphram is pretty much shot but working on upper body strength. Dont know what to do or what to expect. i need advise and help with all this. Can you give me any advise for the present time as to what I should be asking and what to push for in PT. Also fighting bedsores on feet and buttocks that should not have happened. I am worried to death about this. thanks for listening
Happy Birthday!
i just want chat with people network and share idea
hi mary...long time. hope all is well with u and yours.
I'm a little confused on the friends / visitors thing but I'm willing to try. How does it work?
Yeah, fell down my elevator shaft, about 16ft. Broke right femur head in a spiral fracture, pelvisin three places, couple of teeth and a severe concussions. Happened last year about two days before Halloween. Recovery has been tough but despite my best efforts I'm still here. Hope you're well Mary

NBC 5 Chicago and Telemundo teamed up for a winter coat drive with the Wood Family Foundation and the Salvation Army in 2011.
The results were astounding.
Viewers donated 5,000 gently worn coats to Studio 5 to help needy families stay warm.
The output was tremendous! Last year the station collected 1,300 coats.

You'd think that Samsung would have placed its best industrial designers in divisions that focus on drool-worthy mobile products like smartphones and tablets, but apparently they've instead got them focused on the company's more mundane offerings like hot plates.
Without a sense of scale the O Table could easily pass for a sleek MP3 player, as long as you ignore the set of legs on the underside. But it's actually an inductive portable hot plate with a grooved circular touch pad that lets you dial in the temperature. It's also got a lovely set of glowing touch-friendly buttons, as well as practical functionality like boil over prevention.
There's no word on availability or pricing just yet, but it even sounds like they put more thought into naming the color options, including Capri Blue, Ruby Red, Mint Green, Stylish Black and Cream White, than the overall design of the entire Galaxy product range. [Pocket-lint]

From ash to art
When Tiffin resident Beth Walliser found out an ash tree in her yard had been affected by emerald ash borer, she decided to find a way to preserve the 134-year-old tree.
Walliser, who describes herself as an environmentalist, said the idea of having the dying tree carved into a totem pole was sparked after she saw a tree that had been carved into a dragon at a Miami Street residence. That project was completed by woodcarver Matt Smith in 2011.
"When I found out last year that the ash tree was dying, I decided to have a totem pole made in memory of the tree," she said. "I didn't want the tree to go to waste, and I thought it'd be neat to showcase his artwork again."
"I'm an environmentalist myself and it was really hard for me to have it cut down," Walliser said.
Walliser said the totem pole not only honors the tree, it also pays homage to American Indians. She said she asked Smith to make the carving face northwest, honoring especially northwest American Indians.
The animals featured on the totem pole include a raven, frog, snake and beaver, and they are a copy of one of Walliser's tattoos. Walliser said the raven represents mischief; the frog represents good fortune; the snake represents wisdom; and the beaver is a symbol of strength.
Two tree stumps are in front of the totem pole, and guests are welcome to sit at the site and meditate or admire the carving, Walliser said.
"Anyone's more than welcome to sit and meditate and enjoy the pole and pay homage to the forefathers who walked this land before us," she said.
Walliser said while Smith was completing the carving project, he found a nail inside the ash tree that had been overgrown by the tree. Walliser said it appears the nail had been in the tree for a considerable time.
"He said he never seen that himself," Walliser said. "It's a nail we can't identify. It may be back from 1880."
Walliser kept the chunk of wood in which the nail was found and said she plans to insert the nail back into the portion of the totem pole where it was discovered. Walliser said Smith also cut out a portion of the tree that resembles the face of an owl.
Smith finished that piece for Walliser and she now has the owl face set aside, she said.
Walliser said the complete totem pole project took Smith less than a week to complete, and she couldn't be happier with the results.
"What an awesome way with this huge tree to make a totem pole," she said. "I was absolutely amazed. It is beautiful. It's unique, the carving in itself. He's a true artist and for him to be able to work the wood. He's amazing."
Smith, a Willard resident, said his interest in the art of wood carving began after first admiring it at a pow-wow at Mohican State Park. After a storm later knocked down a tree at his residence, he picked up his chainsaw and began creating artwork. He's now been at it for 10 years and operates his wood carving and tree service business full time.
"I had a chain saw lying around and I just started doing it," Smith said.
Smith said, to learn about the art, he initially researched woodcarving online and also discovered a rendezvous in Pennsylvania in which hundreds of wood carvers from over the world converge.
Smith also now performs wood-carving demonstrations at festivals and estimates the number of trees he has carved to be around 100. Those trees are all over the country, including California, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Alaska.
Smith said, in Alaska, he carved a totem pole after camping in the state for a month. On the top of the tree, he carved an eagle, and on another portion of the tree, he included everyone's name who was camping with him.
Smith said many people request animals to be the subject of his artwork, and other requests have included farm scenery. Several years ago, he completed a woodcarving project in Fremont that had a dozen animals on it, including an eagle, squirrels, a bear and a cat.
Most recently, he completed morel mushrooms for Walliser's sister.
Smith said the amount of time it takes to complete a project depends on the amount of detail it requires.
While the totem pole on Thomas Street took Smith about a week to complete, the dragon on Miami Street took him a couple of weeks, he said.
Smith said 90 percent of his woodcarving projects are completed with a chainsaw, grinders and sanders.
"That's about all you use," Smith said.
After the carving is complete, a seal then is put on the tree to preserve it.
With emerald ash borer on the rise, Smith said the last three trees he has carved have been ash trees. Although many were dying of the disease, live or dead trees can be used for woodcarving as long as they are not rotting, Smith said.
"Ash trees, that's really nice wood to carve and it lasts a long time," he said.

Jared Downing, Jordan Rinaldi Meet for Featherweight Crown at Resurrection Fighting Alliance 5
A featherweight title showdown between Bellator Fighting Championships veteran Jared Downing and "The Ultimate Fighter" Season 15 competitor Jordan Rinaldi headlines Friday's Resurrection Fighting Alliance card.
RFA 5 takes place at the Viaero Event Center in Kearney, Neb., and also features a welterweight clash between former World Extreme Cagefighting talent James Krause and 64-fight veteran Joe Jordan. The seven-bout main card will be televised on AXS TV beginning at 10 p.m. ET.
Downing last competed at RFA 2 on March 30, where he earned a unanimous nod over Alessandro Ferreira. "Demon Eyes" owns a 2-0 mark in Bellator, notching triumphs against Chad Vandenberg and Danny Tims in 2010. The Hard Drive MMA representative has lost just once in 10 career outings, with six of his victories going the distance.
Rinaldi, who was eliminated in by Joe Proctor in a preliminary bout to get into the "TUF 15" house, is unbeaten in six professional appearances. Most recently, the North Carolina native captured a unanimous decision against Mark Dickman at RFA 3. The 25-year-old Team Roc representative has finished four of his triumphs by way of submission, including a notable victory over current UFC talent Dennis Bermudez in 2010.

I Miss Gadget Shopping
I will probably be the first to admit that I am an impulsive gadget shopper. Apple, my Macbook, for example, was purchased on a whim. Piper, my iPad, was also something I got out of the blue. Same story goes for Cerise, the first ever phone I bought (since I always get a free unit from Smart since I am a loyal subscriber) and my iPoad classic. However, since I have gotten older (I guess!) and priorities changed, I seem to have my gadget impulsivity at bay.
I do miss shopping for a bright new shiny gadget, I swear. I miss the thrill of opening it up, peeling off that protective plastic layer and just enjoying the smell and feel of it. I'd love an ipod touch or perhaps an iMac for example. Or a Canon S-series camera.
In terms of priorities however, I am keeping the gadget shopping at bay. I need my moolah for yoga teacher training. Any sponsors wanna pay for training instead? Or perhaps give me a gadget to play with? Har 🙂

Press Release: Save our Post Office! Rally on Tuesday, Dec. 4th at 11:30
Save our Post Office!
There will be a rally on Tuesday, Dec. 4th at 11:30 at the offices of Richard Blum, 909 Montgomery, San Francisco.
Towns and cities throughout the entire country are losing their historic post office buildings that were built with public monies. The giant real estate company CBRE advises the U.S. Postal Service on what post offices to sell and then profits as the listing agent. UC regent Richard Blum is the chairman of CBRE. Blum is married to California Senator Dianne Feinstein.
On Tuesday, December 4th. at 11:30 a.m. those of us outraged by this theft will meet at Richard Blum's office, Blum Capital, 909 Montgomery (and Pacific) to Rally and then March to Senator Diane Feinstein's office, 1 Post Street at Market Street.
Right now, the USPS proposes to sell Berkeley's beautiful 1914 Main Post Office. It has two priceless New Deal art works. Our grandparents paid for this building and countless others in the country that are on the USPS hit list. Over 3,700 post offices are at risk of sale or closure. Sold post offices have morphed into restaurant and offices or have been abandoned. At some we must ask permission to see our public art work. Gray Brechin
and Harvey Smith of California's Living New Deal Project will speak.
The USPS was established in Article I of the Constitution. Benjamin Franklin was our first Postmaster General. Until 1971, the Post Office was under Congress, and funded by taxpayers. Since 1971, the USPS has received no federal tax dollars. Congress's 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act forces the USPS to pay $5.5 billion each year to fund future retiree health benefits, an act designed to gut the service. This is another attempt at privatizing public services and profiting from our public good.
Those who are opposed to the selling off and privatization of our historic post office building must write to their senators and congresspersons, and to the US Postal Service, Ms. Diana Alvarado, USPS Facilities Office, 1300 Evans Ave, Suite 200, San Francisco 94188. Learn more about the threat to our postal service by visiting www.savethepostoffice.com. ;
We must confront Richard Blum about his selling of our public property and ask Senator Feinstein to act to save our post offices!

- ChIP Magnetic
SimpleChIP® Human RUNX2 Promoter Primers contain a mix of forward and reverse PCR primers that are specific to a region of the human runt-related transcription factor 2 promoter. These primers can be used to amplify DNA that has been isolated using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Primers have been optimized for use in SYBR® Green quantitative real-time PCR and have been tested in conjunction with SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kits #9002 and #9003 and ChIP-validated antibodies from Cell Signaling Technology®. The RUNX2 gene encodes a protein with a runt-DNA binding domain and has been shown to be a critical component of skeletal morphogenesis and osteoblast differentiation. It has also been shown to regulate its own promoter.
Directions For Use
- Label the appropriate number of PCR tubes or PCR plates compatible with the model of real-time PCR machine to be used. PCR reactions should be performed in duplicate and should include a tube with no DNA to control for contamination, and a serial dilution of a 2% total input chromatin DNA (undiluted, 1:5, 1:25, 1:125), which is used to create a standard curve and determine amplification efficiency.
- Add 2 µl of the appropriate ChIP DNA sample to each tube or well of the PCR plate.
- Prepare a master PCR reaction mix as described below. Add enough reagents for two extra reactions to account for loss of volume. Add 18 µl of the master PCR reaction mix to each PCR reaction tube or well of the PCR plate.
Reagent Volume for 1 PCR Reaction (20 µl)
|Nuclease-free H2O
|6 µl
|5 µM SimpleChIP® Primers
|2 µl
|2X SYBR® Green Reaction Mix
|10 µl
- Start the following PCR reaction program:
- Initial Denaturation: 95°C for 3 min.
- Denaturation: 95°C for 15 sec.
- Anneal and Extension: Primer-specific temp. for 60 sec.
- Repeat steps b and c for a total of 40 cycles.
- Analyze quantitative PCR results using software provided with the real-time PCR machine.
Melt Curve
PCR product melting curves were obtained for real-time PCR reactions performed using SimpleChIP® Human RUNX2 Promoter Primers. Data is shown for duplicate PCR reactions using 20 ng of total DNA. The melt curve consists of 80 melt cycles, starting at 55°C with increments of 0.5°C per cycle. Each peak is formed from the degradation of a single PCR product.
PCR Efficiency
SimpleChIP® Human RUNX2 Promoter Primers were tested on DNA isolated from cross-linked cells using the SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Magnetic Beads) #9003. Real-time PCR was performed in duplicate on a serial dilution of 2% total input DNA (20 ng, 4 ng, 0.8 ng, and 0.16 ng) using a real-time PCR detection system and SYBR® Green reaction mix. The PCR amplification efficiency (E) and correlation coefficient (R2) were calculated based on the corresponding threshold cycle (CT) of each dilution sample during 40 cycles of real-time PCR (95°C denaturation for 15 sec, 65°C anneal/extension for 60 sec).
The chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay is a powerful and versatile technique used for probing protein-DNA interactions within the natural chromatin context of the cell (1,2). This assay can be used to either identify multiple proteins associated with a specific region of the genome or to identify the many regions of the genome bound by a particular protein (3-6). ChIP can be used to determine the specific order of recruitment of various proteins to a gene promoter or to "measure" the relative amount of a particular histone modification across an entire gene locus (3,4). In addition to histone proteins, the ChIP assay can be used to analyze binding of transcription factors and co-factors, DNA replication factors, and DNA repair proteins. When performing the ChIP assay, cells are first fixed with formaldehyde, a reversible protein-DNA cross-linking agent that "preserves" the protein-DNA interactions occurring in the cell (1,2). Cells are lysed and chromatin is harvested and fragmented using either sonication or enzymatic digestion. Fragmented chromatin is then immunoprecipitated with antibodies specific to a particular protein or histone modification. Any DNA sequences that are associated with the protein or histone modification of interest will co-precipitate as part of the cross-linked chromatin complex and the relative amount of that DNA sequence will be enriched by the immunoselection process. After immunoprecipitation, the protein-DNA cross-links are reversed and the DNA is purified. Standard PCR or quantitative real-time PCR are often used to measure the amount of enrichment of a particular DNA sequence by a protein-specific immunoprecipitation (1,2). Alternatively, the ChIP assay can be combined with genomic tiling micro-array (ChIP on chip) techniques, high throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq), or cloning strategies, all of which allow for genome-wide analysis of protein-DNA interactions and histone modifications (5-8). SimpleChIP® primers have been optimized for amplification of ChIP-isolated DNA using real-time quantitative PCR and provide important positive and negative controls that can be used to confirm a successful ChIP experiment.
