Would it be frowned upon to use for instance a hardy sword made from damascus steel or something like that?  I mean it might cut somebody in half but its a risk we are willing to take!! 

It is an idea worth considering though it would probably lead to Lance being banned from competition quicker than a forum newbie shilling ten dollar "high end" headphones.

Took Emily to the airport this morning for her flight to Philadelphia where she starts her nine month government program contract to work with inner city kids helping them to get into college. The program manager was excited to have a Notre Dame graduate on board and so it seems all of the students in her group.  The best part so far is that these kids really want to be there and really want to go to college but they lack the resources that other kids have available to them. The challenge for Emily will be to help these under resourced kids make it to the big time. We are hoping for a major win if she is successful in getting one of her students admitted to Notre Dame (biased?). Fingers crossed, asking for HC positive energy to be sent to Philly.

Good for your daughter for wanting to help! I'm sure you are proud of her. Philly is a good town, hopefully a great experience.

I started packaging today. I'm moving to Istanbul on Saturday. Already arranged where to stay, found a nice residance at Harbiye. I'm gonna stay there for 3 months/till I find decent apartment.

Wish me luck Sirs, I'm sailing ahead.

[Dusty Chalk]

Luck, but you don't need it, you'll be fine!  Cheers and bon voyage.

[swt61]

Good luck!

[skullguise]

Lots of luck and success!

[Craig Sawyers]

We loved Istanbul - have a great audio career there!

The area you're going to looks great - massive park to run in, open air theatre, museums. What is not to like?

[Torpedo]

Good luck, have a nice trip

Had a fight with a tablesaw, and today the tablesaw won.

Hope you're OK, lefty.....(seriously, I do)

[swt61]

Well for starters you'll have to call me Righty, because it tore up my Left hand (thankfully).

I was running a piece of Oak through and it bound up between the blade and fence, kicked back and took half of my finger with it.

 

[grawk]

Ouch

[swt61]

My fingers never touched the blade, but the board ripped the finger at the Red line, and the Green portion is no longer there. It now resembles a carrot.

They took the remainder of the nail off. It did not hit the tendon and I still had full mobility at the Dr.s office. But there was so little skin remaining that he had a very hard time closing up the wound. He is worried that may effect mobility and told me a partial amputation may still be necessary. I have an appointment with a hand Dr. tomorrow. He might have more answers for me.

It also dug some flesh from my thumb, but that's a much more minor wound.

Fuck, Steve, that sucks.  Here's to hoping for the best outcome at this point.

[Grahame]

Ouch! Steve.

Here's hoping effective pain meds were on hand ...

[Aimless1]

Oooooo.  Not good Steve.  Hoping for the best.

[skullguise]

Jesuit Christmas!  Hope it goes well and you heal quickly!

[swt61]

Norco, but I'm too afraid to take it

 

I'll tell you guys what the hand Dr. says tomorrow. Have a 9:00 am appointment, and don't think I'll have too much else to do for a while. Gonna see me on here a lot more during the day for a while anyway.

[Absorbine_Sr]

A new definition of giving it the finger.... Debbie and I are hoping for the best Steve.

Well as I said to Naaman, it will make it easier to pick my nose.

 

And I'll be expecting a 10% discount on any future manicures.

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeezh.  So sorry that happened, Steve.

[grawk]

Fisting will be 20% easier too

[ironbut]

Holy Shit Steve!

Hoping for the best outcome!

[Augsburger]

Sorry Steve, heal fast and infection free.

[morphsci]

That sucks Steve. Hope the hand Dr. Has good news tomorrow.
