Our health care system is a mess, or at least it is at Orange Coast Memorial Center in Fountain Valley, California

My 16 year old son has had a severe immobilizing headache for 17 days. 2 of those days he was ok only to get hit again and even worse the next day.

We went to the ER five times, to his doc once, the Neurologist twice and chiropractor three times, two CT scans, an MRI and all blood work done. Only on the last trip to the ER did they do a spinal tap. At this point he had missed over 2 weeks of school. All the docs can say is everything looks fine but we’ll give you more drugs to take home.

He’s a healthy kid, plays hockey and surfs a lot. One of the scans was of his neck and spine and all that checked out ok too. He doesn’t do drugs, we spend most of our time together there really isn’t time for him to do them. He really has nothing to be stressed about and I think he would have told me when I asked him. We’re very close and we talk about a lot of things.

Anyway he still had this near crippling headache and we couldn’t figure out why. Go see a doctor get more drugs is all they could do. That is until our last visit to the ER at which time I told the doctor we weren’t going anywhere until someone figured out why this was happening or put a plan in place to figure it out what was going on. This ER doc was the first that took the situation as serious as I took it. (more…)

We in Denmark cannot figure out why you are even bothering to hold an election.

On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, and a lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer.

On the other side, you have a true war hero married to a woman with a huge chest who owns a beer distributorship.

Is there a contest here?”

Honestly visual tells in poker aren’t that common and in good players are very hard to see. However occasionally you see something, it may be something very minor but you may eventually pick up the pattern and place a value on what it means. This list may help you look for things and actually see them but then again maybe not. At the very least if you use what you find here in a live game it may help you pay more attention to what’s going on

1. Watch the Eyes
This is why many pros wear sunglasses or visors/caps when playing, they know that the eyes rarely lie. For example, many players can’t help but stare at big hole cards, so their length of time peeking is longer. Conversely, if a player is looking to steal the pot, he may look to his left to see if the remaining players, who haven’t yet acted, have quickly glanced at their cards and are likely to fold. Another example, a player may try to ask you questions about your hand, knowing that people rarely can “look someone straight in the eyes” while being dishonest.

2. Facial Expression
Again, many pros try to disguise their entire face by wearing a cap and looking downward. This is to avoid the classic stare-down that poker pros are famous for. They may try to study your face for nervousness (detecting a weak hand), or even look for repetitive characteristics like a body “tic”. You may have obvious unhappiness

I don’t know about you but I love animals. Especially dogs, they’re smarter than 90% of the human race.

With that said I found this blog Ihasa Hotdog that lets you put a caption on a cute picture of a dog.

If you are a dog lover or even just an animal lover in general you have to see this site.

The article below was posted by TommyGunn over on Shidoobee. I swiped it from him and he swiped it from 411mania.com. Thievery is awesome isn’t it, but credit was and is given.

Personally I’d say take Ozzy off the list and put Anthony Keidis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers in any other spot. Freddy Mercury at #1 I don’t get either, Mick Jagger is a far better front man than he is.

7b. Roger Daltrey (The Who) - Roger sports an incredible range was one of the most influencial vocalists of the British Invasion. Whether he is crooning away in ballads like “Behind Blue Eyes” or letting out that infamous primal scream in “Who Are You,” Daltry has to be acknowledged as a pioneer of the rock front man.

7a. Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) - Kurt was the voice of the grunge movement and an entire generation during his short career. While he was his usual outstanding self on their studio albums, he made a huge impact showing of his softer but still raw sound during the band’s Unplugged performance. It is impossible to imagine rock music today without the influence of Cobain.

6. Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) - While Aerosmith is one of the best chameleon acts in rock, changing their tune every decade or so to stay current, Tyler is a constant. There is no need to fine tune his vocals, because his voice is tops in any generation. From the 70’s (”Walk This Way,”) the 80’s (”Love in an Elevator,”) to the 90’s (”Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”) Steven is always at the top of his game.

5. Ozzy Osbourne (Black Sabbath) - We are focusing in on his work with Sabbath here and not his solo work. (You can’t really refer to yourself as a front man when you are a solo artist. Way too redundant.) The Wizard of Ozz brought a darkness, and frankly, an evilness to hard rock that had never been heard before. His menacing vocals on songs like “Ironman,” “Sweet Leaf,” and “War Pigs” created the blueprint for the metal vocalist. No offense to those that followed him, but Sabbath isn’t Sabbath without Ozzy.

4. Jim Morrison (The Doors) - There are many out there that would place Jim atop this list hands down, but I do feel that he had a few missteps musically that keep him out of the same league as the top three. At this point he is held in high esteem for his antics just as much as his ability. That said, there is no denying the uniqueness of his voice and power of his presentation. Check out some of his classic work on songs like “Light My Fire,” “The End,” and my personal favorite, “L.A. Woman.”

3. Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) - Again, just like with most everyone on this list, his band would not be the same with someone else screeching out the vocals. Robert managed to show of his high-powered, shrill upper register while maintaining the blues roots that were so entwined with Zeppelin. One of his greatest qualities has to be his humility, as he never had a problem stepping aside and letting the genius of Jimmy Page or John Bonham shine. Not too many lead singers are confident enough to simply introduce their band mate and then step out of the spotlight.

2. Mick Jagger (The Rolling Stones) - He is the most recognized face from the most recognized band in music today with a career that spans damn near a half century. Jagger’s greatness cannot be denied. If one were to pick out only one voice to identify with rock music over the years it would be impossible to not include Mick in the conversation. There is nowhere to even begin recommending his work, as it is all classics. He is only narrowly surpassed for the number one slot by this guy…

1. Freddie Mercury (Queen) - I have an immeasurable amount of repect for Mr. Mercury’s ability as a songwriter an vocalist. I do not believe that any vocalist past or present can match what Freddie could do on stage. His pure energy is amazing and his uniquely operatic style is unforgettable. If you have somehow managed to avoid hearing the greatness of Queen, by all means, go now and do so. No, seriously, go NOW. Read the rest of the column when you get back. It will seem much more monumental when backed by classics like “Killer Queen,” “Tie Your Mother Down,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “We Are the Champions,” and the unbelievable “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

First Brain Twister

This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!
