But what kind of airplane? This was a restricted program and ...

You Don’t Have To Live With Shoulder Pain

Shoulder impingement syndrome occurs as the result of chronic and repetitive compression or "impingement" of the rotator-cuff tendons in the shoulder, causing pain and movement problems. It can also be caused by an injury to the shoulder. People who perform repetitive or overhead arm movements, such as manual laborers or athletes who raise their arms repeatedly overhead (ie, weightlifters and baseball pitchers), are most at risk for developing a shoulder impingement. Poor posture can also contribute to its development. If left untreated, a shoulder impingement can lead to more serious ...

Come Together

One visit to the Winter Garden Plaza last Thursday encapsulated for me everything that I love about this town.Although it was the fourth Third Thursday event to be held this summer, it was the first that I had attended; and it was nothing short of awesome.Upon my arrival, I immediately recognized at least around two dozen faces in the crowd (and that doesn't even include all the people I knew in the bands that were playing that evening).

Summer Sammiches: Now, It’s ‘Maters

Move over, hot sausage sammich with peppers and onions. Your season is fading.It is August. County fair and area festival season is still in full swing. As regular readers know, my fondness (weakness) for hot sausage sammiches with peppers and onions as toppings reaches its diet-busting peak during fair/festival season.If I find myself at another festival or fair, I shall doubtless munch more hot sausage sammiches, as I did in July with gusto - and considerable messiness; watching me eat such sammiches is not for the fastidious.But now, the echoes of Creedence Clearwater Revival sound ...
