Zune unraveled... unveiled

I was too lazy... LAWL!!! LOL... I was questioning the use of diction or wording. I looked up that word Wiktionary too between unraveled and unveiled when I committed that inclusion of that statement... It seemed good to me but anyways good job hehe. Getonyourfeet 01:46, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Wodehouse family

Hello. I saw your question on Talk:Earl of Kimberley. The answer is yes, P. G. Wodehouse was a member of this family. I have tried to explain how he was related to the Earls of Kimberley at the Earl of Kimberley page, so you might have a look there. Regards, Tryde 15:13, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Coat of arms seems more appropriate. I rushed that stub out a while back. Thanks for the increase in accuracy. Excaliburhorn 16:53, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

No hope at all

Kind of you to say so. —Tamfang 06:27, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

• Not at all, t'was truly a thoughtful edit. Check out the last on Queen Victoria and see if you agree with the substitution of progress for change. I'm tottering on a fence rail on whether that 'tis a better change in the context. Change is beyond dispute... but? // FrankB 06:33, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Technological progress is also beyond dispute. Some might dispute that the social developments constituted progress, but such a view is not respectable enough that I'd go out of my way to appease it – wait until someone complains. —Tamfang 08:29, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Uneven hips

Hi there.

On the Science reference desk under "Left shoe squeaking more than right" you wrote

One of my hips is crooked enough to make my stance and tracks asymmetrical; nobody noticed until I was about 16 and Mom asked "Why does one foot turn out when you walk?" (though it later occurred to me that an embarrassing incident at age 9~10 could be blamed on it). Perhaps the questioner has some similar subtle asymmetry.

I am really battling to solve my various problems and I would be interested if you could elaborate a bit more about your problems, the cause, and the various doctors you may have seen...
I am functionally flat footed (this means that my feet aren't 'actually flat but they function as flat feet because they roll in - yet I do have an arch.
But the odd thing is... My right foot rolls in a lot more than the left foot. And overall the left foot is pretty normal - so that's just one right foot that tends to roll in (over-pronate).
The next problem is that my right hip socket always feels 'loose' (while my left hip socket seems fine and stable). There is also though to be a functional leg length discrepency, i.e. a difference in the length of my legs but only functionally and I've had a scanogram taken of my legs to measure the length of the bones and the bones are both the same length! This indicates that my pelvis may be tilted OR my one foot is rolling in OR a combination of the two that ultimately make the legs function at different lengths1
I'm a bit lost as to what to do about it...
Podiatrists tend to give me interesting feedback on what's happening with the FEET and can't tell me anything about the pelvis or legs... and
Chiropractors/Osteopaths all tell me that my pelvis is tilted/twisted but can't tell me anything about my feet.
So the podiatrists are all saying "You need orthotics" and all the chiropractors are saying "you need to come in often to be manipulated" and I don't know to do! Is my problem my feet or my pelvis!
Anyways, I've seen now 4 podiatrists and they've all recommended orthotics so I'm going to bite the bullet and just go with those and hope for the best. The problem is I'm very skeptical about them and I won't be satisfied until I understand exactly how orthotics are made and what they do - you know I just can't trust the things, they seem so unnatural.
Anyways, tha's the end of my rant. Any feedback on your condition is appreciated.

• Which doctors have you been do
• Have you been formally diagnosed with anything
• What treatments have you had
• How does your condition affect you, i.e. do you complain of things like a stiff neck, lower back, bad posture, etc.

I believe my crooked hip is to blame for chronic intermittent pains in the knee on that side, which I first noticed while bicycling; once in a very long while (typically after climbing stairs) the knee fails to support me while bent. I've noticed no other serious consequences. The only medical attention it has had was the x-ray to verify that, yeah, it's a bit crooked; and that was thirty years ago. I can only wish you luck. —Tamfang 19:49, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I am surprised to find myself blocked – I thought logging in would override any IP address restrictions, and I'm not aware of anyone else using this desk. —Tamfang 01:16, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Sure, though I didn't actually make that image. I just noticed it on Commons and linked it. More interestingly, I've just about finished gathering references to revise and improve the article on tenné. I hope to have an authoritative revision done within the next two weeks. --EncycloPetey 07:46, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Victim disarmament

Tamfang, I was thinking of putting this article up for deletion. What do you think? It's just something out of somebody's book. I don't think it has much currency. It probably doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Griot 05:00, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!!!!

Hi Tamfang, Thanks so much for your offer! I've sent you an e-mail, I hope it went through? --Ibn Battuta 18:20, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

I'm still getting the hang of this Wiki-thing. However, you're the second person to bring up my lame linking abilities. According to the cheat sheet I'm supposed to parenthesis then insert my web address, a space, and then the word followed by another parenthesis. Where am I going wrong?! About Rodenbeek... what about Ro den beek? By all translations I can find this would read red in the stream, right? Thanks again, Tamfang! Beekone 16:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
