  1. Use Picasa? Import to Folder by Date Taken (YYYY-MM-DD) , then no problem unless you take more than 10,000 photo's in a day Then there is some logical segmentation to the physical pool(s) of photo's You don't keep all you audio files in one folder do you?
  2. The original disappeared before it could be photographed, so you'll just have to imagine this Served warm, drizzled with crème anglais.
  3. ^Someone really needs to work on their A/V cable management EDIT: Maybe Watson can help?
  4. Had more Physio, showing good improvement in reduced swelling, and pain free articulation. Will continue as we work on the quads and try to get all the forward extension back on the right leg. Rear extension is not a problem ( > 135o) Had a consult with rheumatologist now we have the results of the blood test back, and ... I don't have TB, or Lyme Disease. I do have Normal Liver and Kidney Functions, Signs of inflammation (duh!) and ... This is where the conversation turned interesting. How often have you had a conversation with a doctor where they asked you "Are you a Creationist or an Evolutionist?" .... Gave the obvious response, and we discussed genetic variation across populations and evolutionary factors which led to the reveal Which meant fitting this to the facts / symptoms that This makes sense. There is the mystery trigger / initial infection - which was non obvious / I can't recall, but that would lead to the swelling being some kind of auto-immune response ( high white cell count - but no infection in cultured effusion) Given that the swelling is going down and things are improving, recommendation is avoid surgery continue physio while it helps / shows improvement see if it clears up on its own (over next couple of months) only if things don't get better would he consider medical treatments ( which have side effects / risks) Better than "non specific inflammation", and recovery has the right trajectory at the moment. I wonder how the conversation would have gone if I had said I was a creationist?

  6. Not at the moment, but we saw the action at lunchtime when visiting (Mikey's) Costco. http://www.marinij.com/novato/ci_24524120/novato-welcomes-n-out-burger-open-arms-and I guess that makes it the first / last In-N-Out between Mayberry + RRBC ..

  9. Happy Birthdays Indeed!
  10. Interesting consult with a Rheumatologist today regarding my embiggened knee. Physical Therapy, now started, is working well to improve range of motion (better numbers at end of session vs at start) plus I have some home torture exercises to work on. To date Orthopedic Surgeon has recommended Orthopedic Surgery (Quelle Surprise! ) Rheumatologist said runaway as fast as you can and mentioned some controlled trials that show no statistical differences in outcomes between surgery / placebo surgery and no surgery (maybe this, this, this or this?)Interesting fault finding/root cause analysis given site specific nature and lack of other joints affected ... Meanwhile, direct injection of anti-inflammatory to the knee, and various blood test ordered. I counted 10 vials when they drew the blood. Lets see what next week and the results bring ....
  11. Spoiler tags anyone? Please?
  12. Which one? I've had ... Unsurprisingly
  13. You're not trying hard enough Medical Grade Ti Knob option, only $500? Bargain!
  14. Do they let you see the quality of the machining and finish beforehand? Good luck with the surgery and a prompt recovery!
  15. So does this mean people will have to wait even longer for their BHSE's now?
  16. Ouch indeed. How do you manage to get a paper cut in your eye (flinch)? Do you need to wear safety glasses when writing letters of recommendation?
  17. meal round friends when we had a visitation from a ghostly raccoon...
  18. ^ Given the electrons have no way of knowing the cost of the circuitry they are moving through, I've never understood that logic either.
  19. Was there an attractive dental hygenist bending over you to distract you, or did your jocular dentist have seemingly oversized hands and fingers just to make it more "fun"?
  20. Back in the US in time for my (N)MRI thanks to a "a state-of-the-art General Electric GE Signa® HDe 1.5T Scanner" Closed scanner, but it was only my embiggened right knee they were imaging, so I went in feet first, and my head stayed outside. Nice relaxing half hour rest while I was forced to wear some no name headphones ear protectors and listen to what sounded like bad early experimental electronic music ( but was just the magnetic coils getting exited, and relaxed ). Review of the imagery first thing Monday. Lets see if we can get a better diagnosis than "non specific inflammation" I'd be happy with being pain free and a return to normal function.
  21. Shelly do they have roundabouts / traffic circles where you are? When no one else is around see if you can get the traction/stability control active light to come on, on the dashboard ... (Note: it helps if the car has such systems installed ) I managed it a few times in the UK. Saying the phrase "POWERRRR!" Seems to help
