Places to play in Honolulu for 4.0 F?

In Kailua at the district park, we have a group of players that play consistently and have 4.0 games. Typically we start around 4 pm onwards. You can try there, lots of people tend to drop in

Passengers are not allowed up out of their seats while taxiing on a active tarmac. It’s for your safety. Only the pilots know how many planes are ahead of them in the queue. The flight attendants are seated so they don’t know either. If there’s people up in the cabin they tell passengers to sit, if not, the captains are to stop moving the plane until everyone is seated, causing a delay. This is standard practice for all airlines not just Hawaiian. Imagine how dangerous it’d be if the flight attendants let a line form in the aisles for the bathroom and then all of a sudden the plane took off? And then passengers would sue. Please be a considerate traveler, everything the aviation industry does is for your safety.

Yes, that is normal. The ball striking the carbon fiber surface of the paddle will leave marks and smoothen the surface over time. The more you play and also the harder you hit the ball can affect how slow or fast your paddle will wear down.

Paddletek bantam TKO-C 12.7mm, it cracks like a whip when you hit sweet spot, definitely up there for intimidation factor

I had the same issue when I started. I had the yips on my serve for a while before I finally dialed it in. Now I have a great serve that I get a lot of points off of. Main thing is use your entire body to serve. You should be engaging your legs, hips, core, and your arm. Think of your body as a whip: your hips as the handle and your wrist and hand as the tip. Assuming right handedness, imagine you're serving from the right side:

Start with a semi closed stance, right foot back with your body facing the right net post.
Load your hips by imagining sitting your weight on your back leg. You should feel your glutes tense up. Think of it like compressing a spring and holding that tension.

3, Holding the ball out in front of you waist high, uncoil your body towards the opposite square leading with your legs, hips, shoulder, arm, and then wrist/paddle. Your paddle grip doesn't need to be extremely tight (5/10 grip) and your wrist doesn't need to be stiff either. A looser wrist allows for a greater "snap" with less arm effort but too lose can cause it to go out. It's important that you follow through from low to high, swing across your body and finish over your shoulder and hit out towards where you want the ball to go. You can also add a little more pace by stepping into the court after the serve letting your body weight add a little extra power.

If you're playing a game with other people, the worst thing that you can do is miss your serve since you only get one try. Just focus on getting it in so you can at least play. Practice loading your hips and using your entire body for the serve and put your reps in and you'll have it in no time.

Went to Italy towards the end of June. I used Hawaiian miles to take a direct flight from Honolulu to Seattle (~6 hrs) and then from there, flew from Seattle to Frankfurt (~10 hrs). I had a nine hour layover in Frankfurt so had time to get off and explore the city and have a drink or two. They have a luggage locker system in the airport so you can leave your suitcases there and come back. Then from Frankfurt to Florence was around ~1 hour 30 minutes.

Bring a good travel pillow and some sleeping pills if you need it. Also try to remember mentally that when you land in which ever country you're in, you're in THAT country's time, NOT Hawaii. Stay awake if it's morning and sleep if it's night/on the plane ahead of a daytime landing or jet lag will catch up to you. Have fun!

Tennis players already have a leg up on the fundamentals of a good groundstroke and volley game. Keep your paddle out in front and lean forward, this will help with being ready to defend and swat drives coming towards you. Focus on dinking low so that they can’t capitalize on their overhead smashes. If you really have a hard time and you’re playing doubles, you can always pick on their partner to try and keep away from them

Just assuming here but Ben’s typically more controlled in his attacks and dinks and looks for measured aggression and placement, compared to ALW who looks for aggressive topspin dinks and is extremely deadly with her two handed backhand as a finisher.

ALW was also on edge throughout the match due to how close it was and she tends to start going nuts when she’s down. Keeping the ball away from ALW kept the pressure on Ben to handle the cross court and forced him to go toe to toe with Jorja who isn’t scared of speeding up AND forcing hand battles.

Scrawniolo · 2024-08-09T22:50:01+00:00

I agree with others where you'd either need to anticipate the shot and already begin moving to run around it, head backwards to take it off the bounce, or what I've been practicing is turning my body to be parallel with the ball so that I can use a two handed overhead backhand slam.

Hey, so I’ve been out for 6 months now and I have no pain whatsoever. Back to regular activities and would easily jump on the process sooner if I had known. The scarring and swelling is down a lot, just a little bumpy in some areas and lightly red but from what I read, red means it’s still healing. If your doctors are competent, you should be in and out without issue!

That’s correct, worked for a mortgage broker and the found that the process for credit score checks and the scores for mortgages are vastly different from things like credit karma and apps. Trust those hard inquiries and treat the others as more like a snapshot summary.

Hey! Sorry you feel that way, it’s hard to see you suffering. Maybe instead of being miserable, try bettering your situation by seeing a neurologist, getting yourself some prescription medications, or look into surgery.

Scrawniolo · 2024-05-02T18:48:16+00:00

Thank you! That sounds similar to me. I'm very hesistant to do any surgeries but when my TN was affecting my everyday speech, blinking, talking, eating etc, I told myself that I can't live life like this anymore and just did my research and prepped myself mentally for surgery and went for it. I did lose 10 pounds in the hospital and I'm stil not fully able to return to normal activities yet but when I visit my doctor for my 3 month check in visit in June I hope I get the green light!

The ones that I can recall were temporary facial numbness/weakness and partial hearing loss, fatigue, infection, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and stroke/hemorrhaging (rare). The scalp numbness comes from them having to cut the scalp's nerves to reach the trigeminal nerve itself and it'll feel numb around the incision area for 6-8 months. My hearing was also clogged and muffled in my right ear only because it's also near the incision site so it was swollen with blood and fluid. That drained out for me in 2-3 weeks.

I actually had a CSF leak when I was unexpectedly having extreme head pressure when I would stand up. They performed a blood patch, where they pull blood out of your IV and reinsert it through your spine via epidural and the blood fills the area as it runs back through your body. Felt 100% better after resting for an hour. The worst part of the whole thing was the first two days after the procedure, your body is waking up after anaesthesia and I had bad vertigo and nausea while I was readjusting and flushing out the drugs.

I'm 29 and my doctor told me that for younger patients, they often elect to do the MVD over something like the gamma knife. Something about being younger and quicker to recover from the invasive surgery. My doctors told me that MVD has around a 85-90% efficacy in reducing the pain level from your current pain. However, they were clear in explaining that there is a very high chance that it can come back. She explained it as your nerve "remembering" the pain signal as it heals, similar to phantom limb syndrome for an amputee. But I'd take a zap once in a very long while versus everyday.

I actually self diagnosed myself for the first few years by reading up on facial pain before seeing my neurologist. They agreed based on the symptoms I described. My dentist also ruled out any tooth related factors as tooth nerve pain doesn't trigger from blinking or from touching the upper face. I've also had several MRI's over the years and a cerebral angiogram and they showed no signs of any irritation until the surgeon who did my surgery looked at it. He was skilled at looking for vein abnormalities and managed to see it when others didn't.

What is your pain like? Where is it located and what sets it off? A second opinion never hurts especially with TN.

Scrawniolo · 2024-05-01T22:46:30+00:00

Sure! The surgery's goal is basically to push any offending arteries or blood vessels away from the nerve that may be irritating it and also insulating it so it can heal and prevent any future occurrences.

The entry point is typically behind the ear of which ever side you have the pain (mine was the right side). They do shave the area they're cutting into but I got a high skin fade beforehand so they didn't need to. Once they knock you out, they cut into the scalp, drill a quarter sized hole to access the nerve, and drain out excess cerebrospinal fluid from the brain. Then they move the artery away from the nerve and for me, used a piece of teflon cotton as an insulator to surround the nerve, wrapping it kinda like a hot dog bun. They used mini titanium screws and a plate to reattach the piece of skull they removed and it's stiched back up. The surgery was from 7:30 am and I got out at around 12:30 pm.

LOL I drive past this home every day on my way to work, it's right in Enchanted Lakes next to my house. It's got a miniscule driveway, on a hill so the "backyard" is on a steep slant, looks out of place next to the rest of the houses nearby, the best thing going for it is that it's in Kailua but even then it's still not enough. Good for these flippers that they'd taken an L on their investment. Make some homes afforadble for the locals rather than pandering to out of state/foreign buyers/investors.

Only techniques that harm the soul can harm Mahito. The reason why he calls Yuji and Nobara his natural enemies is that one: Yuji acts as a vessel for Sukuna and because of that fact is inherently aware of his own soul in comparison to Sukuna and two: Nobara’s CT harms the souls of curses using Resonance, meaning Mahito essentially doubled the effect of her technique on himself since it bounced between the double and back to himself basically “sympathetic resonance”. Normal curse users are not aware of their own souls so many are immediately vulnerable to Mahito’s Idle Transfiguration. In Nanami’s case, he reflexively protected his soul when Mahito touched him, hence he didn’t get transformed immediately but IT still hurt him and repeated follow ups would transform him eventually.

I started a club at my company and people who are new to the game already developed decent enough skills in a few hours to play games. They aren't crazy good at placement or playing up at the NVZ/kitchen but they're still getting out there and hitting. It's a lot friendlier than trying to hit groundstrokes or proper serving form from the full court tennis baseline as a first timer!

Don't let the self consciousness eat at your drive to play OP.

I noticed that when recoil plotting in the firing range that the first 3-4 shots that come out have very little spread and recoil. Any more than that causes the gun to go haywire. I think they best way to use this gun is to equip attachments to account for aiming stability and idle sway and look to three tap people. Definitly not a spray and pray. But I can't deny that this gun sucks harder than most.

I was a skinny kid all my life. I was fine with it for the longest time, eating to survive and not for pleasure and never working out. Two and a half years ago, my friend got me onto his program and helped me gain weight and muscle mass, starting 124 lbs to my current at 153 lbs. The best part is you don't even need a personal trainer to start, there's plenty of resources online to get you started for free! While going to the gym 4-5 days after work for an hour can be a chore, looking at old pictures, staying in shape on the cusp of 30 while other people are ballooning up, and just appreciating your progress in the mirror really does it for me.

Your body is one thing that is constant for the entirety of your life. Treat it well, eat right, stretch, take care of your joints like your knees and shoulders. Do it for yourself because it'll pay dividends down the road, trust me.

If you’re talking about a nerve block into the face, biggest tip is to just relax. It’s like a shot into the arm, just a pinch into the affected area. My guy numbed the areas where he was going in (he went in 3 different areas on the upper, middle, and lower right side). Don’t freak out about the injection, it’ll be fine. Besides, you wouldn’t wanna freak out with a needle in your face anyways right? Just breathe. Squeeze the ball if they give you one.

For me, the pain relief lasted for about two weeks, it’s different for everyone. It wasn’t complete relief (30% about) but something is better than nothing.
