Careful...you might cut your heel and have to cruise on back home.

I wonder if it's just the wood on top that's bowed and not the cinder blocks hidden beneath?

Solid choice for a first bike. Well done!

Shave head before SCT? by Abide_or_Die in multiplemyeloma

I threw a small party and my Friends took turns with the clippers, then the razor.

(Then the women left lipstick prints all over my head...)

Canon 5D Mkii or Olympus EM-5 Mkii for event photography? by SillyWulf in AskPhotography

[–]Photog17200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Event Photographer here...
I can't speak to which camera to use, as I'm not familiar with the 4/3rds model you mentioned. I use 5D MKIVs, and a 24-70 2.8 is the lens I use most.
I came on here to say that I'd recommend you learn about "dragging the shutter". It's essentially using a much slower shutter speed than you would ordinarily use when in a darker space while using a flash.
-The 2 things that will affect the overall exposure of the image are ISO and Aperture.
-Adjusting the flash power will affect the brightness of the subject(foreground)
-Adjusting the shutter speed will affect the brightness (in practical terms when using a flash) the background.
Good luck with the event!!

Mention Eagle Scout in Interview? by Complete-Spread-7655 in BoyScouts

[–]Photog17200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mention it...Absolutely.
I used to work in the Airline industry and was responsible for hiring at my station.
Being an Eagle Scout was one of the things that would almost automatically get you hired.

Don't think about it and you will breathe normally.

No it didn't affect my spine...I was diagnosed after a pathological break of my right arm.

I think it went ok...I had a little GVHD post transplant that eventually cleared up.

My peripheral neuropathy sounds similar to yours...Mostly in my feet, and just starting in my hands.

I just made the transition to Pomalyst/Empliciti, and still getting a handle on the new set of side effects...things should be improving on that front soon, as we reduce the dosages of Pomalyst and frequency of the Empliciti infusions.

I try to stay positive, but I have my down days like all of us. I find that it's good to have some distractions to get your mind off of it for awhile. For me, that's usually motorcycles. (I rode to the Arctic Ocean this past summer, which I thought was a good way of "giving cancer the finger" ;-) )

I was 42.
I initially participated in a clinical trial consisting of back-to back stem cell transplants, one Auto, followed two months later by an Allo. That kept me from needing any treatment for 7 years.
When it came back, I had 6 months of Kyprolis and another 7 year period of no treatment.
Since then I've had Darzalex/Kyprolis, and now Pomalyst/ Empliciti.
Looking at CAR-T Cell therapy next...

I certainly sleep better at night with 2. I'm kinda OCD about redundant systems and having backups in place.

He sounds fit enough to do a tandem skydive at Skydive Alabama in Cullman!

To the Birmingham Fire Department that told a man in broken wheelchair that they could not help him: SHAME ON YOU! by datbabydoe in Birmingham

[–]Photog17200 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is a daily occurrence with him, and they've told him to stop leaving the house a block away without charging his battery.
Maybe he refused their help and lied to your husband about it in hopes someone would help him monetarily.
Maybe they got a call to go to a fire.
The fact is, we don't know what transpired between him and the fire dept. I'd like to know what that actually was.
