To get the right length handlebar grip you can make a measurement.
To do this place a ruler or tape measure along the length of the current grip you have on your handlebars. Take the measurement in millimetres. Also take note of anything on the handlebars that is placed right next to the grip – would this stop you fitting a slightly longer grip?
Grips come in a variety of lengths starting at 100mm for toddler grips and working there way up to adult grip sizes that are 130 to 140mm
Adult grips can also have a diameter range between 27 – 35mm.
Small 27-30mm Medium 30-32mm Large 33-35mm
Getting the right size grip is usually about matching up your hand size to a length and diameter so that the grip will fit the natural shape of your hand. So it's better for people with smaller hands – women – to get a shorter length and small diameter.

Our Womens Capri's selection are all made from a mixture of synthetic and stretch fabrics which gives a great four way stretch so that you will be comfortable and able to move freely. All our Womens Capri's have a cycling chamois sewn into the crutch.
To get the right size you need to know your waist & hip measurements. The best way to measure is with a tape measure. If you don't have a tape measure use a piece of string or some wool then lay this out along a ruler.
Firstly you will need to find your waist.
To find the natural crease line of your waist, stand straight with hands at the side. Then bend sideways running the hand down the outside surface of the leg. This movement will produce a crease at the waist so place your measuring tape on this crease. Return to standing straight and place the tape measure around your waist at your crease point (usually the narrowest part of your torso).
Your hip measurement is found… approximately 18cm down from the waist. Let the measuring tape fall down your body to the floor to find the 18cm mark. Move the measuring tape to this point then wrap it around your body. Make sure it is straight all the way around.
See the size chart below to help with choosing the most comfortable size. If your measurement is close to or right between sizes think about a couple of things.
W 63 – 68cm
H 87 – 92cm
W 68 – 73cm

Take your time and measure well but be reassured that we love returns because we want you to have the solution that is right for YOU so if you have to send it back it's no problem at all… see returns.
Make sure when you try on your Capri's for the first time you wear some underwear to protect the surface of our chamois. Once you are happy with the fit it is yours to wear against your skin. To get the best possible position for your chamois hold your Capri's at the front & back, not the sides as you pull them on.

The Serious Eats All-Star Sandwich Festival in Photos
On such a record-breakingly scorching Saturday, it can be hard to lure hundreds of people out of their houses to ferry over to Governors Island. But when mighty delicious sandwiches are involved, your odds are much better.
Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us at the first Serious Eats All-Star Sandwich Festival over the weekend. We had a blast meeting all of you and munching on turkey heroes, sliders, falafel, banh mi, and all the other sandwiches on the menu while kicking back on the grass and sipping chilled wines, beer, and cider. (Emphasis on chilled. Those face-spritzing spray bottles also came in handy.)
A huge thanks also to all the vendors involved, as well as the dedicated team of Serious Eats contributors and volunteers who really made our fantasy sandwich picnic a reality.
Here are a bunch of snapshots from the day—the sandwiches, the other non-sandwich deliciousness, the drinks, the people (including cute babies), the music, and the many fun times had by a wonderful gang of serious eaters.


text: Kim Lankford responds to more questions about converting a traditional IRA to a Roth and opening an account for a child. By Kimberly Lankford, Contributing Editor January 7, 2010 Since 2010, anyone has been able to convert a traditional IRA to a Roth. But there are a number of rules you'll want to know when making the switch. SEE ALSO: The Basics of Roth IRAsHow do I go about converting my traditional IRA to a Roth now that it's 2010? Anticipating a slew of conversions, most IRA administrators will make it easy for you to convert your traditional IRA to a Roth. Some (including Fidelity, Vanguard and T. Rowe Price) also offer handy tools on their Web sites to help you calculate your tax bill before you make the switch. Also see our Should I Convert My IRA Into a Roth IRA? calculator. First, you'll need to open a Roth IRA account if you don't have one already. Then you'll fill out a conversion form to switch money from the traditional IRA to a Roth (some firms let you open the account and move the money all on the same form). You'll have to specify how much of the traditional IRA you want to convert, how the money should be invested in the Roth, and whether you want taxes withheld from the amount you move to the Roth. It's best if you can say "no" to withholding and pay the tax bill out of non-IRA funds. If you dip into the IRA to satisfy the IRS, you'll owe tax and, if you're younger than 59 1/2 an early-withdrawal penalty on the amount. If you make the conversion in 2010, you can spread the tax bill over 2011 and 2012. Advertisement If you're switching your IRA from one mutual fund company, brokerage firm or bank to another, you'll fill out most of the paperwork with the new IRA administrator, which can walk you through the process. But it's a good idea to give the old firm a heads up so that the transaction will go smoothly. My wife and I have traditional IRAs that we intend to convert to a Roth. We made the maximum contributions to them in 2009. Can we also make contributions to the IRAs for 2010 before we convert? My income is too high to qualify for Roth contributions. You sure can. Even though there is still an income limit to contribute to a Roth IRA in 2010 -- your modified adjusted gross income must be less than $120,000 if single or $177,000 if married filing jointly -- the $100,000 income limit to be able to convert a traditional IRA to a Roth disappeared in 2010, giving everyone a back door into a Roth. You can now make your contributions to a traditional IRA and immediately convert them to a Roth IRA. I haven't made IRA contributions over the past few years because I earned too much to contribute to a Roth and didn't qualify to make tax-deductible contributions to a traditional IRA. Now I wish I would have contributed to a nondeductible IRA anyway so that I could have converted it to a Roth. Is there anything I can do to catch up? Advertisement You still have until April 15, 2010, to contribute up to $5,000 to an IRA for 2009 (or $6,000 if you're 50 or older). You can also make your contributions for 2010, then convert the money to a Roth. In your column in the January 2010 issue of Kiplinger's, you stated that "if you already have a traditional IRA, you can't simply put $5,000 into a nondeductible IRA and then move it tax-free to a Roth." Please explain again. I had contributed to a deductible IRA for many years, then stopped putting money into that account when I was no longer eligible for the deduction. I make too much money to contribute to a Roth, but I have been contributing to a nondeductible IRA for many years. I want to convert all of this into a Roth in 2010. I also want to contribute to the nondeductible IRA in 2010 and convert it into a Roth because I make too much to contribute directly to a Roth. Why can't I do this in 2010? My wife is in the same predicament. Now that it's 2010, you can convert your traditional IRAs to a Roth regardless of your income. What I was referring to was the tax treatment of the conversion -- if some of your IRA contributions have been tax-deductible and some have been nondeductible, you can't just cherry-pick the nondeductible contributions to convert and avoid paying taxes. Instead, the amount taxable on the conversion is based on the ratio of nondeductible contributions to the total balance in all of your traditional IRA accounts. If you have $10,000 in nondeductible contributions, for example, and the total balance is $12,000, then 83% of any conversion would be tax-free. Advertisement I am 68 with no earned income. Under the new law, can I convert a traditional IRA to a Roth and make contributions from investment income? If so, what are my limitations? You don't need to have earned income to be able to convert a traditional IRA to a Roth. But you do need to have earned income to make new IRA contributions. If you don't work but your spouse does, he or she can make IRA contributions on your behalf. If you and your spouse are both older than 50, you can each contribute up to $6,000 to an IRA in 2010 (although the total contributions cannot be more than your spouse's earned income). You both can contribute to a Roth as long as the adjusted gross income on your joint return is less than $177,000 in 2010 (the maximum contribution starts to phase out if you earn more than $167,000). My son is 17 and worked over the summer in a sunglasses shop. Can he open a Roth IRA? Advertisement As long as he had some earned income in 2009, he can open a Roth IRA and contribute up to the amount he earned for the year or $5,000 (whichever is less). If he doesn't want to use his own earnings for the Roth, you are allowed to give him the money to contribute to the account. He has until April 15, 2010, to contribute to an IRA for 2009. The long-term benefits can be huge. If your son contributes $1,000 to a Roth IRA now and his investments return 8% per year, that $1,000 could grow to about $47,000 by the time he's 67 -- not counting any other money he adds through the years! He'll be able to withdraw the contributions at any time without taxes or penalties and can withdraw the earnings tax-free after age 59 1/2. See Why Your Kids Need a Roth IRA for more information. Got a question? Ask Kim at email@example.com.

Digital billboards in Berkshire are becoming more and more popular with advertisers and they are a great way to promote products, services and goods to a wide audience.
Digital billboards (sometimes referred to as LED billboard advertising) are bright, eye-catching adverts and are often very affordable; they are a growing part of the outdoor advertising mix and popular with many different industries. They are available in lots of different locations all over the country.
Digital billboards offer the flexibility to update and amend messaging as required (saving time and money on printing and placement). There are lots of different options to consider, including freestanding billboards on roadsides (positioned "head-on" to attract traffic passing by, whilst parallel roadside posters are also great for return on investment), whilst there are lots of options in shopping centres, as well as in arenas and sports stadiums.
LED billboards are now regularly replacing standard poster billboards in areas of high traffic and footfall and are a growing marketing medium that's fast becoming the preferred advertising option with global and household brands.
If digital billboard advertising is of interest to you, drop us a message and we will give you a free quote on the options available.
Digital billboards are large billboards that form part of the digital outdoor media mix. They come in the form of LED screens rather than those traditionally printed.
These advertising boards are frequently found in highly-populated areas and tourist hotspots (the most famous in the UK is the digital screens at Piccadilly Circus). This form of LED billboard advertising is commonly affixed to a building, structure, or as a free-standing billboard situated at the side of a road, pavement or other areas of high-traffic or high-footfall.
Digital Billboards use electricity for the illumination of the design, and you can have alternating or full-time ads to suit your needs and budget.

There are many benefits to electronic billboard advertising. Some of the advantages are highlighted below:
Your LED billboard campaign should be entirely shaped around your target audience (be that potential or existing customers).
It is important your brand knows this audience inside out in order to be able to communicate to them in the most effective way possible. But don't fret if you don't know this: our LED advertising team can help you identify and investigate into your market segment to best target, speak to and target them effectively.
The costs of advertising on digital billboards vary – sometimes they are more expensive than traditional poster-board billboards, other times not - but don't let this put you off – the ability for fast upload and changes far outweighs the cost implications.
How much a digital billboard advertisement costs depends on many factors, including:
For more information on factors which can affect the cost of digital billboards in Berkshire read here.
As with traditional poster-board billboards, electronic billboards are owned and maintained by a variety of different companies nationwide. This can make the placement of digital ads a difficult job to manage, as numerous business relationships and fee structures may be in place all at one time.
Fear not, however at Billboard Advertising UK we will manage your entire digital billboard marketing campaign for you with a seamless service, so there'll be no awkward spreadsheets or frequent phone calls for you to make… we will take care of it all!
Most commonly, digital billboards can be found affixed to buildings or structures. These are the most popular form of electronic billboards, but other options are also available!
Electronic billboards can be used as standalone free-standing structures to be placed in public areas such as along roads or high-footfall pavements to attract the attention of new and existing customers. These are portable and so can be used for 'guerrilla marketing' if your brand really wants to try something new. For example, if there's a large exhibition or event that for some reason you're not included in, why not hire a digital billboard to be placed outside it (a digital advan)? All the attendees will still see your messaging, but in a cleverer and more memorable way than simply on a banner indoors! Chat with our digital billboard team for more smart marketing ideas.
A modern technology in advertising, digital billboards offer the opportunity for marketers to convey high-quality and relevant communications to mass audiences in highly attended areas. They offer a flexibility that's unobtainable with traditional poster-board advertising and can be used portably for clever guerrilla tactics when regular branding simply won't work.
Finding conventional advertising companies who have specialist knowledge and experience within LED billboard screens is suggested to get the best return on investment. With plenty of experience, we provide a service plan which suits your unique demands while keeping in mind your financial budget and brand.
We can help manage your outdoor advertising campaign from conception to delivery, taking care of advertising relationships, fee structures and payments, design and branding work and placement management.

A friend I'll call Sam Smith writes that he flies "a lot for business" – which wins him and anyone confronting this dilemma my heartfelt sympathy. I can't imagine a decision more gut-wrenching than choosing whether to pay the mortgage and submit to sexual assault or lose your job because you insist on your inalienable right to be free of governmental gate-rape.
But Sam doesn't go quietly into that dark night. He "always opt[s] out of those virtual strip search scanners. (The truth is that if the default were a pat down, I'd probably opt out of that [in favor of] the scanner, since neither option is appealing, but I feel the one option I will not take is just to do what they want quietly.)" Yes!
Sam continues: "On my latest trip, the goon checking my ID asked, 'Are you Sam?' I said 'no'—pause for effect to see his shocked face. 'I'm Mr. Smith to you.'" If only all passengers—no, let me broaden that: if only all citizens had Sam's attitude, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in.
But Sam hadn't finished shaming his assailants. "The other goon preparing for the pat down, after detailing what he was going to do, asked me if I was comfortable with this. 'No, of course I'm not comfortable with this, but I don't have a choice do I?'
"After back and forth, he said, 'Well, sir, I can't let you proceed unless you say that you are comfortable with this.'"
So Sam capitulated – sort of. "OK…I will say that I am comfortable with a total stranger feeling my private parts."
The thug "wasn't happy," Sam reports, "but there were a few smiles from other passengers."

The Lake Region Classification System is a tool used for grouping lakes based on similarities in physiography, geology, soils, hydrology, water chemistry, vegetation, and climate. It was created from a cooperative effort involving the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and researchers at the University of Florida's Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. There are a total of 47 Lake Region groups. These are used to provide a framework of the different types of lakes in the state so that management plans can be developed for groups of lakes with similar characteristics. Learn more about Florida Lake Regions »
The lake region this lake is located in is:
Lakeland/Bone Valley Upland (Region 7530)
The Lakeland Ridge consists of sand hills near 200 feet in elevation with many solution depression lakes. The Bone Valley Uplands tend to be more poorly drained flatwoods area. All of these areas are covered by phosphatic sand or clay. The region generally encompasses the area of most intensive phosphate mining, but phosphate deposits and mining activities are also found south of this region. As one might expect, the dominant characteristic of all lakes in this region is high phosphorus, along with high nitrogen and chlorophyll values. The lakes are alkaline with some receiving limestone-influenced groundwater.

Reviews for our Certification Training Program
The grief recovery method facilitator training is an incredible class. It is practical and can be applied to all types of loss. Ashley was a terrific facilitator. I have renewed sense of hope for the future.09/09/2019
I gained so much more from this experience than I had expected. I can't wait to start my first group!09/08/2019
I have been looking for a way to help people, while preparing for my life after retirement. Through the GRM Certification training, I met so many like minded peers, who opened my eyes to the different opportunities to utilize the GRM training. I can't say enough, what a privilege it was to learn with the amazing group we had.08/30/2019
Until I took that training I thought I had all things under control, dealt with, overcome, whatever you want to call it about my daughters death however....going through the training, learning how to say/ask with the right language brought up feelings that I never thought I would have even considered. The "breakthrough" was life changing for me. All teachers need to go through this training...anyone that works with children because they are working with growing innocent minds in a world that is moving to fast to care anymore. I honestly feel it could change, if not save lives. Knowing that certain feelings are okay and they are not alone. You cannot put a price on a life.08/30/2019
This training was exceptionally well laid out and very easy to follow. I can and will encourage all with whom I come into contact to experience it for themselves in order to feel a freedom that comes when being able to release any unfinished business, dreams or experiences after their own personal loss.08/13/2019
The Grief Recovery Method is fantastic! Extremely effective! I am incredibly thrilled to get my new GRM Family! Supportive line! In just 4 days, not only we learned a lot of new tools and method, but also we connected that we all found the same way that we have known each other long. It was a true blessing was The loss graph and relationship graph were unique tools! I have been given misinformation in my entire life, and NOW I learn how to use these tools to deal with any future losses. For myself, family, friends, community, and the world. And last not the least, my words are not enough how to thank Susan Dindinger for her passion and dedication to teaching, supporting, and genuinely connecting to each one of us. I'm thankful for this fantastic opportunity. I strongly challenge everyone to join this program to all those out there suffering from any loss.08/02/2019

Build Your Own Truck Dash
appearance of your vehicle is by removing the old
dash and adding a new customized dash made of T-6 billet. Billet is
tempered aluminum that can be polished to look like chrome, or brushed to look
like stainless steel. Billet is strong, won't rust, and is readily
available through metal surplus stores and steel supply houses.
thick that had been installed by a previous owner. I bought 1/8″
billet to replace the thinner piece for improved strength. The instruments
had to be relocated to be seen more readily and old switches were replaced with
illuminated rocker switches that took up far less room and were very easy to
locate while driving.
Sawzall. I left a one inch border to act
as a frame for the new billet dash. Removing the '71 dash enabled me to
modify the dash later without cutting through the steel original dash.
When sawing out the old dash, I used masking tape as a guide to make the cut
more precise and consistent. A one
inch hole saw was used on the upper right hand corner of the old dash and
another one inch hole saw cut in the lower left hand corner. From this
point I was able to run masking tape around the dash to create a border for the
face plate. A Sawzall high speed steel blade was used for this
billet, polish the dash to the desired luster using a buffer. If you
attempt to cutout the dash first, you will add a lot of extra work and may
damage the polished area in the process. Now mask off the entire dash to
protect it from damage and to allow you to diagram and make the measurements
necessary for your applications such as switches, CB, and stereo. You will
have to take into account items that will be behind the dash. This will
avoid installation problems later. The masking tape will protect your
polished surface from cutting tools and jigsaws. Its best to use COARSE
CUTTING blades because the finer blades will load up with billet shavings very
bolts(1/4″ coarse, 1/2″ long)to mount the dash to the frame.
These bolts were spaced out every five inches and aligned with the corresponding
upper and lower bolts to improve the symmetric appearance of the finished product. Use holesaw cutters for
round instruments. The early photos of the old dash will show you how
rough it will be to attempt this with any other tool.
finished product that will make your vehicle easier to drive and dramatically
improve the appearance of your
Watching your trail through the windshield and reading your instruments can
be extremely dangerous. Most racers are placing their gauges where they
can see them while operating their vehicles under demanding conditions when
the driver cannot take their eyes off the road. The Bronco needed this
type of instrumentation so that the operating condition of the engine and
the trail could be observed at the same time. I removed the six small
Autometer gauges and two larger gauges from the dash and decided to build
an enclosed T-6 billet box in which to house these instruments. The dash
would be used for items that did not require constant observation, CB,
AM/FM, A/C and A/C ducts on each side of the steering column and passenger
side of the dash. 1/8″ billet was used on the front and rear of the
housing, 1/16″ gauge was used for the upper and lower housing. The
speedometer and tachometer are 3.5″ in diameter while the water
temperature, volt gauge, ammeter, gas gauge, oil pressure, and vaccuum
gauges are 2″ in diameter. Two green LED's were installed between the
speedometer and tachometer and countersunk into the bezel for left and
right turn signals. A red LED was installed below the turn signals,
midway between the tachometer and speedometer as a high beam indicator.
All allen stainless sockethead screws were used to attach the facing
and rear plate to the upper and lower housing. The back of the housing has
a cutout for the speedometer cable, oil pressure line, and vaccuum lines.
All of the gauge wiring was ported out of the far right side of the
instrument housing and routed into a small section of the air vent. The
speedometer cable was also routed through the air vent. A major
advantage of using this type of instrument housing was the elimination of
wiring under the dash. Also, there is no obstruction of the driver's view
of the trail. Even when looking right or left through the windshield, the
vital readings are visible through the driver's peripheral vision.

Motorola has lifted the curtains off its latest smartphone to reveal the RAZR (or Droid RAZR in the States) – a device whose moniker is the only thing it has in common with the original 2004 flip phone. Here's all you need to know.
RAZR – Built to last
Moto is touting the RAZR as the world's thinnest smartphone at only 7.1mm thick – and its Kevlar construction should ensure maximum toughness at a lighter weight. The RAZR also features Splash Guard, a nano-coating that protects internal components from potentially nasty splashes.
RAZR – Killer screen
The RAZR is rocking the world's first 4.3in Super AMOLED qHD Gorilla Glass display with a 960x540 resolution, which we expect will look stunning in our hands on later today.
RAZR – Under the hood
Although the RAZR's not launching with Ice Cream Sandwich, Gingerbread should run buttery-smooth on the RAZR thanks to its 1.2GHz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM and LTE, 16GB of storage (plus an extra 16GB on a microSD card) round off the spec sheet rather nicely.
RAZR – Imaging
Motorola's packed an 8MP camera and 1080p video capture into the RAZR – which should more than take care of the needs of casual snappers and movie-makers alike.
RAZR – Large battery
The RAZR's 1800mAh battery is said to offer 12.5 hours of talk time with 8.9 hours of video playback before needing to re-juice – welcome news to power users who are used to smartphone batteries hitting the red mark long before the end of the day.
RAZR – Webtop
Like the Atrix and Atrix 2, the RAZR supports Motorola's Webtop environment, offering a second desktop-like experience including a Firefox web browsing experience and Lapdock accessory compatibility.
RAZR – Release date
Clove UK has confirmed that it expects the UK variant of the RAZR to hit our shores on November 1st and it's currently priced at £455.
Motorola Atrix 2 incoming
Need to Know – Ice Cream Sandwich
Need to Know – Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Galaxy Nexus knows what you look like

Rest up and heal well fishin' guy. Just read about your surgery. Glad it came out well.
Thanks!! I feel like a ton of bricks is being lifted off my back!!
we've missed chatting with you ...hope you are doing well
Just wanted to say that I appreciate all your replies and positive energy!
Hope you are having a good day. Maybe we can chat some day.
thank you. im grateful for prayers. Im not so upbeat, but I dont want to bum peeps out. I know im not the only one with this type of situation right now. im sure envious of the visiting with bente though. that has cheered me up a little. I hope too that you are feeling better and recovering from your health challenges. proly you have tried to keep a positive image through your trials as well. thanx again for the note fishin guy.
doing okay, hada small stroke? WTF, I'm too young. Anyway, deal with it. I got drawn for both deer and elk tags this year, so got some planning to do. How are you doing, ok I hope, see you've had some of the usual prob's on the site, hope all's well.
what u up to these days?? just checkin to see how u r doin...
Just stopping by to say Happy Birthday! Hope you are having a great day.
Happy Birthday FG! Hope you have a great one!
Thanks for the positive words. I am six months out and continue to improve. I can walk, eat, use the computer, use the bathroom, etc. all normally. In the last month, I became able to rise from the floor using my arms and crawl on my hands and knees.
I cannot raise my arms, and thus cannot bathe or dress myself above the waist, drive, or prepare most meals.
I wish you the best of luck. Your progress sounds amazing.
I am near Spokane.
Did the room and site die on you last night? Just wondering it froze on me and I couldn't get back on? Anyhow nice meeting you Guy. Hope your havin' a good one.
I nailed that one.
ha ha...i work with all men, go figger. Plus, i guess some would say i have a warped sense of humor
Right on. That guy will never learn.
You got some nice fishing out there
What kind of fishin you do out west? On the east coast we do stripper and blues, blackfish, porgies and fluke and flounder. Also we freshwater for pike, bass, carp, suckers and snappin turtle. BTW I try to fish only for the fish I will eat, I am not into sport fishing and don't want to catch a fish just for making me feel good.
You too monseur. Glad it turned out as it did.Gad you and I were the first on the scene, i sort a started to think I was kinds new here so i'd let others go ahead, but then the practical in me kicked in, if not me, who, and if who, would they be in time.
Thx for all you do for all of us. Guy
thanks for everything that you did. Wise.
So here I am 6 am, and been up since 3. Pain in the ass, literaly. Right hamstring area, stabbing pain, and usual med routine for this crap ain't workin' this AM.
Like I said before about your meds from Rhem. They have a real ton of meds they can use, drop and use new ones. When I was diagnosed with lupus, there was a 5 yr life expectancy. I beat the hell outta that, ,and like said, played ball for another 10-12 yrs later. You are right about the gym, my gawd I tend to over due. If a little is good, more is better and overdoing is alot better... nOT. I've done it befors, still learning. Yeat. tho I did stop the rickshaw deal when my rt shoulder and a little tendon on the right elbow complained to me, so I skipped those yest. I just can't beleive the difference in my fat loss in the abdomen area in just 3 weeks of work.A personal trainer huh, well be patient. there are SOOOooo many new drugs in the last 15 yrs for all the innune response illnesses that if one doesn't work, lotsa alternatives. Hope your rheum is a GOOd one, i had a couple of dogs as refferals when mine was out of town.I have such a good rapport with mine, he says he'll even keep seeing me if I have to go on medicaid, even tho his group don't do med. He has told me I'm the reason he took on his first associate yrs ago. I had gone to him for 5 yrs or so, he went outta town, I had a prob,went to his refferral and I let him know what an ass he was. (talked of other patients (2) and names too. while in the room w/me) he wouldn't listen to hoiw I had reacted to a drug he wanted to put me on , etc. So he brought in 1 st assoc, so to have someone close to files when out of ton, now has opened a larger clinic and has 6-7 assoc's.i was soo fortunate wife and I researched and found what we thot was the "best".He also has done drug research and trials thud he "sneakes" into various trials, varying illnesses( lupus, MS, Fibromy. etc) to see how they react. I felt obligated to try some of these because of what he's done for me.
One office nurse he had told me once that he had indeed saved my life by his diligence twice.I was close to dying a few times, he did research on the net contacting many other dr's(in fact this is when he decided to start doing the drug research programs). She said he spent many nights and weekends to find the correct treatment when we were talking amputation of both legs. I had cellulitis and pus running throughout both lower legs, and he found 1 dr in the east who had, had 1 patient that only cured the problem in a diff. way than all other cases like this one, and I had to take the chemo cytoxan orally, rather than IV. For some reason, the way it metabloized thru liver and kidneys, si what made it work, he saved me again. But realisticaly, as he said, part of the reason for his drive for me was my attitude in fighting all this crap.No feeling sorry, no anger, just do it, give it to me, you know what works, and I'll do my part by working thru stuff. I went thru DOZENS of drugs and combo's of them.some would work, some for awhile, others never worked, some had side effects but very few did I have to quit for side eff.So I hope you have as good a relationship with your's.( side story, my dtr had a friend(they were 8-9 at the time) who had an aunt, exact symptoms, EXACT, problems w/ circulation on lower legs, swollen, pus, she went to a vascular surgeon instead of rheum., they were fighting the symptoms of illness(she had 12 surgeries, dr trying to clean out bad vascular problems, we asked my dr, like if we do amputate, whats to keep this from moving around, to arms, inside, etc. well, they amputated her legs, 6 mo' later amput. one arm, and 4 mo later, she died, it attacked her insides., meanwhile my dr had done the research backeast ( we were fighting the cause, not the symptoms, remember this while dealing with rheum.) NOT vascular.My dtr has remembered this situation for yrs since. Her dads alive and other girls aunt died. Difference was dr, so our whole family is really proactive when looking and going to a dr that is not only the best, but must be one who listens to your concerns and questions.
Sorry for the personal novel here, but what you to have best shot at as normal a life as possible. Good luck. (no spellchk, so good luck reading)
Thanks so much for the inspiration! I really needed it yesterday; had such a terrible pain and emotion day. But today is going to be better, I can feel it. But inspiration goes a long way...and lasts a lifetime.
Congrats on returning to the gym! I used to be a personal trainer, so if you want any good tips, I'm here for you. I'm sure you already know this, but we're not running any race, so start off slow, probably even slower than you think you should (cause you seem like a real go getter).
I just started seeing a new Rheumatologist last month, who put me on tramadaol for the arthritist pain (ecuse the spelling, typing is a bitch), but i'll see him again in acouple weeks to start a plan to get to the bottom of everything. i'm not too concerned about the diagnosis right now, cause the TM is enough to take on for now.
as of yesterday, I'm down to 30mg pred, and the rheumi is going to keep tapering until something negative happens or someother thing pops up.
Luckily, I don't have any strength to kick anything or anyone, but on one of many roid rages, I told off the entire neurology team, incl. attending and all residents and students. I warn people in advance (and sometimes after the fact), "don't mess with a girl on roids." My poor mom, gets most of my rage. And when I went to a halloween party, which was a really big step for me (literally and figuratively) I reamed out everyone in line for the bathroom because they were being so obnoxious about the wait (I have a neurogenic bladder). At least that time, I didn't feel any guilt about it.
Have a great day. Lift a dumbell for me.
Hi fishin' guy,
Thanks so much for sharing your story with me. I still don't have a definitive diagnosis on the autoimm part of my TM, but the docs think def MS or Lupus; now I have myoclonus (full body spasms), which I guess are adding to the who-knows-what aspect. I've spent more than 3 of the last 5 weeks in the hospital: taking lots of the drugs you mentioned (I didn't get any relief from the solumedrol and am still on the pred) plus plasma pharesis and IV Ig treatments, all the while developing new symptoms. Out 4 days, and smiling but not feeling much better. Despite it all, I may not be feeling optimistic, but I am feeling inspired. Does that make any sense?
Today, I'm working on optimism. Tomorrow, maybe I'll try to walk 1 more block.
Best of luck to you!
Going ok here, wow you caught me at the board. Waiting for t/ters, also, wife's been in Hawaii for 2 weeks, hom in the morn. I'm not sweeping till gr-kids and everyone has come and gone. We have damn fir,pine,&Jap. maple dropping crap all over. i HAT E them.

I've always had a soft spot for corner stores. As a child in suburban Sydney I used to walk to the one in my neighborhood run by Greek immigrants to pick up the afternoon paper and ciggies for my mum. Then I'd skim five or ten cents of the change for a little white paper bag of mixed lollies (candy that cost a penny a piece) like bananas, milk bottles, freckles, musk sticks, raspberries and other forbidden sweet treats I'd happily devour on the short stroll home.
When I moved to the inner city as a university student the corner store, run by immigrants of origin that escapes me now, was the place to go for hangover breakfast supplies: milk, tea bags, cereal, yogurt, juice, eggs. (Booze was easily bought at 18 at the drive-through "bottle-o" aka bottle shop.)
I've lived in the Bay Area most of my adult life. But when I go back home, as I do frequently, I love ducking into corner stores in different parts of Sydney. In the inner-city suburb known as Rozelle, one of my first stops to see dear friends, after the obligatory hugs, laughs, and ubiquitous cups of tea, comes a pit stop to the corner store. We pick up Turkish bread, home-made tabouli and hummus, along with Portuguese custard tarts and raspberry friands, a popular little oval-shaped teacake.
It doesn't matter how long I've been away, the Lebanese family who have run the store for years are always there. A door behind the counter is open, and many family members are often sitting in their living room, doing what families do in their living rooms: talking, reading, watching TV, playing, and drinking cups of tea.
Our exchange is always the same: How are you? How are the kids? Look how they've grown! A quick word about the weather or a compliment about the food and my son and I are on our way — but not before he's chosen his own little bag of lollies he picks up when we travel back to Australia.
As an immigrant myself, I've always been drawn to the stories of people who inhabit two worlds, who call two places home, their homeland of birth and their adopted homelands.
In the three cities I've called home: Sydney, San Francisco, and Berkeley, as all over the world, corner stores are primarily immigrant-owned businesses. And these people have their own stories to tell about where they're from and how they landed here. If only people took the time to ask.
Lucky for us, film maker Katherine Bruens did. No surprise, then, given the subject, that I was predisposed to want to see her documentary "Corner Store," a small film with a big heart airing Sunday at 6 p.m. as part of KQED's "Truly CA" documentary series.
Yousef Elhaj is a Palestinian immigrant who has owned a corner store on Church Street in the Castro for more than 10 years. A corner store owner in his homeland too, he left Bethlehem after the second intifada when his business went bust and he was desperate to find work to support his family of five, including two sons and a daughter. There was, he says on camera, no money for milk or medicine. His goal: Put his head down, work hard, and save enough money to send for his wife and kids for a better life in the U.S. Who knew it would be ten years before he saw them all again?
Elhaj, who entered lawfully via a brother already in the States, takes immense pride in his store and works long hours; he opens at 7:30 and closes at midnight. He lives upstairs in a tiny apartment with a neatly made single bed. Every day he speaks with his family, sometimes his children ask him for big ticket items like iPods and cameras. He protests about the expense but then buys them anyway, as parents sometimes do.
Even before she knew his back story, Bruens, a regular customer as well as the film's director, was struck by Elhaj's commitment to his store and customers, she says on a recent Forum episode.
He's a good listener with an empathic ear, says Bruens. She should know, she spent time talking with him when she lost her job and he helped to keep her spirits up. Over time, she learned about Elhaj's own challenges, which she says made her own pale in comparison. As a filmmaker, how could she not document his struggle to reunite with his family?
After a long, lonely, hard decade, Elhaj gets good news: His family can join him in America. We watch as he makes the long journey home and his obvious joy in seeing his children. His oldest, now 18, is a man, with a job and a girlfriend. His daughter is a giggly 16-year-old with a solid grasp of English, his younger son doesn't recognize him. He was two when his dad left home.
We also witness the conflict he feels as he fits back into the familiar rhythms of life in Palestinian Bethlehem and the pleasure he and his wife show in such simple acts as shopping at local farmers' markets. But there's an undercurrent of greater conflict too: Half the market is walled off and only open to Israeli military officers. It takes hours to get around because of checkpoints and one day the family home's water is simply cut off. Elhaj gives viewers a tour of the modest house where he grew up and the one he built, where the family now lives, with evident pride. The camera reveals the surrounding devastation that only years of turmoil can bring. Despite the challenges and tragedy, it's still home.
But this isn't a polemic on the evils of war, nor is it a social commentary on the goods stocked at most corner stores, including Elhaj's, namely liquor, processed grocery items, and Lotto tickets.
It is the story of how one man created a sense of community in a corner of San Francisco, where most people simply stop by to pick up milk, and the sadness and sacrifice this shopkeeper quietly endures to secure a better life for his family.

I'm Asking Once More.....Is History Important?
One reason why history is important it that the past has value to our society. Thousands of people throughout history have gone to great lengths to record history through newspapers, diaries, journals, saved letters, family Bibles, and oral traditions. It is believed that Aborigines of Australia actually managed to hang onto their history for 40,000 years by word of mouth.
History is the narrative of mankind. It provides answers as to how people lived as well as provide for us the roots to certain ideas concerning laws, customs, and political ideas. Have you ever wondered where the rude gesture of pointing your middle finger at people you are annoyed at came from? One origin story states it reportedly began at the Battle of Agincourt where the French demanded the surrender of the English longbow men. The French demand was very simple. The bowmen had to surrender immediately or upon capture they would have their middle fingers cut off. This finger was sacred to the men since it was the finger used in firing the longbow. The English response to the French demands was to raise their middle finger and raise their hands high in the air in unison for the French to view. This enraged the French who attacked immediately but were promptly obliterated by the plucky English. Think about their bravery the next time you are tempted to raise that finger.
The age-old adage, "you can't know where you are going unless you know where you have been" is actually very true. A true scholar of history realizes history does repeat itself. This repetition has importance in society. It teaches the value of certain social changes and governmental policies. Ideas that were presented in the 1960s can be found in the writings of William Godwin in the 1790s. The Ancient Greeks redistributed wealth which was clearly repeated during the Communist regimes. It didn't work for the Greeks and it certainly did not work for Communist Russia.
Though the Greeks had strange ideas about wealth they were firm believers that history was something that people could learn from. I began my love affair with history as an elementary student who read each and every biography my media center possessed. I was fascinated with the famous people I was learning about since they had a childhood like me and I was intrigued at the twists and turns their life took on their journey to achieve their goals. I remember particularly the biography I read about Woodrow Wilson. He held my interest because he was born in my home state of Georgia. He provided a character education lesson because he showed great tenacity as he never gave up even after several failed businesses that resulted in a bankruptcy. History provides a wealth of material to teach character education, both positive and negative.
History teaches a wide range of material. It isn't simply a litany of dead people, places, and dates. I am amazed all the time as I discover links to science curriculum and the arts in the units I teach. You can't teach United States regions without mentioning that each region has its own ecosystem made up of specific food chains, climates, and physical features. A study of history clearly shows man's love of the arts and it cannot be denied that once a civilization was able to maintain a steady food supply their creative ideas flowed whether on rock walls, papyrus, or cedar bark. These links provide relevance for students. It assists them to take small chunks of history squares and weave them into a knowledge quilt.
The links that students can discover between history, science, and the arts provides a well constructed framework that bond national and regional past events. This allows for comparisons with contemporary events to provide context for understanding. The American Revolution was basically our first national event. The powers that be in my home state of Georgia like for students to learn the significance of historical events as they relate to our state. Before we get into Georgia's participation in the Revolution I have introduced the events leading to the war up to the Battle of Bunker Hill. When they realize we are going to talk about Georgia's participation they get real excited and quickly get really upset. They are very disappointed to learn that Georgia fell very early in the war to the British. They learn that we have some war heroes but the majority of colonials in Georgia were Tories. Georgia was not the hotbed of revolution that Massachusetts or Virginia was. We then embark on a mission to understand why Georgia was not heavily involved in the independence movement.
History when presented properly lends itself to critical analysis. Even young students are capable of reviewing a series of primary and secondary resources and independently determine what happened during an event and why. This independence is a goal we have for all students throughout all disciplines of education. History is a perfect curriculum tool to practice analysis, generalizing, and inference. In fact, the Bradley Commission Report on History in the Schools (1988) states, "…history is the only avenue we have to reach an understanding of ourselves and our society. Without such understanding the two foremost aims of American education will not be achieved---the preparation of all our people for private lives of personal integrity and fulfillment, and their preparation for public life as democratic citizens."
The question I pose in the title is a no brainer to someone like me. You see, I am one of those people who can be totally consumed by large twenty pound history tomes. I love the intrigue, story-twists, coincidences, and repetition of themes involved in history. I'll read the history of anything. The history of butter, word histories, Mandarin Chinese, buttermilk, famous cats in history, the history of knitting, obscure African tribal histories, and yes…..American history.
I strongly identify with a character in the Kingsley Amis novel, Lucky Jim, who works in the history department of a fictitious English university when he answers the department telephone by stating, "History speaking!" We are all history every minute of every day. We participate in the history of our families, we add to the history of the corporations and businesses we serve each day at work, and we participate in history as we vote, compose a letter to our congressman or a newspaper editor or attend a demonstration or memorial.
Recently I was looking at a website attached to the University of Utah and a history professor was reporting that he had asked one of his history classes of two hundred students, "Why is history important?" A student spoke up and honestly answered very matter of factly, "It's not important. It's about dead people, not about me." The professor stood his ground during a deafening round of applause from the other students and countered, "Well, I see dead people. I hear dead people and ……so will you!"
Is learning history important? You bet it is!
Begin to encourage a love of history in your students. Remind them each day that they are history by dismissing them enthusiastically with the phrase, "YOU'RE HISTORY!"
If you haven't stopped by in awhile and you're wondering why I'm re-running old posts click HERE for an explanation! :)

I was just told by my administration to stop teaching Science and Social Studies and focus on Math and Reading because the annual standardized test is coming up soon. Apparently, only Math and Reading count towards meeting AYP. Yeah, let's just take away the two subjects that kids get most into and excited about, that makes a whole lot of sense! And why would they think that history and science aren't as important as math!? I'm so baffled and pissed at that this is what education has come to. I don't even feel like a teacher anymore.
- Chris FirstFound said...
History's one of the most important subjects you can learn - how to use evidence, how to learn from others' mistakes...
It's a fantastic subject.
- EHT said...
YES! You are both so right. It baffles me and saddens me greatly that teachers are directed to teach to the test.....that AYP is goal we are trying to reach.
NO! AYP is not the goal. Teaching children is the goal and sadly the very law that governs what we do....No Child Left Behind....is doing just that. We are leaving them behind.
I'm going to go to the corner and sulk for a little bit. This gets me so riled up.

Flemenstar and Sir Des Champs are the star names among nine runners in a fantastic renewal of the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown on Friday.
Flemenstar was one of Ireland's leading novice chasers last term and has carried on his progress this season.
He made a winning return over two miles before slamming previously unbeaten chaser Sir Des Champs in the two-and-a-half-mile John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase.
The pair lock horns again in the feature event of Leopardstown's Christmas Festival, but this time the distance is three miles, which is further than Flemenstar has gone before under Rules.
Tidal Bay appears as good as ever this season, despite officially turning 12 next week.
After making a winning return to action over hurdles at Wetherby, he ran a superb race to finish second behind Bobs Worth under top weight in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury.
The Paul Nicholls-trained Tidal Bay is joined on the trip from Britain by Neil Mulholland's stable star Midnight Chase.
Mouse Morris saddles Hennessy First Lieutenant and China Rock, the latter making his first appearance since winning the Punchestown Gold Cup in the spring.
Shark Hanlon's progressive Hidden Cyclone adds further strength in depth.
Pandorama has his first start since the 2011 Cheltenham Gold Cup, while Quito De La Roque completes the stellar field.
Trainer Peter Casey has always been of the opinion Flemenstar could develop into a realistic Cheltenham Gold Cup contender.
"He's all ready to go. Everything is grand. He did a nice bit of work the other day," said the County Meath handler.
"This is his big test and at quarter past three tomorrow we'll know a lot more about where we're going.
"I think there is a lot of rain coming in, but I'm not worried about that - the ground makes no difference to him.
"At the moment I'm not worrying about any of the other horses in the race.
"I'm very happy with our horse and you've just got to go and take your chance.
"We'll either come home disappointed or delighted."
Andrew Lynch has been ever present in the saddle during Flemenstar's career over fences and is hopeful three miles will not be a problem.
"I gave him a breeze the other day and he seems in good form. With the trip you never know for sure until you try, but he gives you every impression he'll stay," said the jockey.
"It's a very good race. First Lieutenant, Sir Des Champs, Tidal Bay, Quito De La Roque – they are all good horses.
"We'll decide what way we'll ride him nearer the time, but he's a very straightforward horse to ride."

Berkeley School Board President Will Be Court's Executive
Alameda County Superior Court officials announced today that they've appointed county budget analyst and Berkeley school board president Leah Wilson to be the court's new executive officer.
Wilson, 40, will assume her duties by April 15 and will succeed Pat Sweeten, who retired last December but has continued in the post during the search for a new executive officer.
In her new post, Wilson will have oversight responsibility for the non-judicial services and staff functions of a court organization that consists of 85 judges and commissioners and more than 700 employees who provide court services in Alameda County.
Wilson said in a statement, "I am thrilled by this appointment and I look forward to joining the Alameda County Superior Court.
Wilson currently is a principal analyst with the Alameda County Administrator's Office, where she has the budget responsibility for several public safety departments.
She also represents the county administrator on the leadership team that oversees the implementation of criminal justice realignment in the county.
In addition, Wilson is responsible for managing the county's debt portfolio.
Before working for Alameda County, Wilson worked for the state Administrative Office of the Court, overseeing juvenile court improvement initiatives.
Wilson has a master's degree and a law degree from the University of California at Berkeley and is a member of the state bar.
Superior Court Presiding Judge C. Don Clay said, "Ms. Wilson is an absolutely outstanding individual who has had an outstanding career in public service. She is exceptionally well qualified and possesses all the necessary skills to take on this vitally important role."
