Banff is going to be much more crowded. Personally I would spend the extra 2 days in Canmore. I’d look into hiking Ha Ling peak and the Grassi Lakes while you are in Canmore.

It’s not like any of the deepwater players are knocking it out of the park but I felt like Diamond was weathering the storm better than others.
Curious how those in the deep water industry view their work compared to say Noble, Ensco/Rowan or Transocean?

I am sorry for your loss and hope that you and your wife can one day find comfort. I read through the events you described leading up to the arrest and a couple of things you mentioned stood out.
My concern in this situation would be an air embolism. You mentioned that the nurse poured some fluid out of the IV bag before administration. That pouring of the fluid allows air to enter IV bag. This air would need to be properly “burped” out of the bag before connecting the IV tubing. Once the bag was spiked and the pressure sleeve was applied any air remaining in the IV bag will become entrained. I have personally seen this occur when a nurse applied a pressure sleeve to IV fluids when bolusing a patient prior to a labor epidural. Typically the large volume of air required to cause complications in an adult prevents this from occurring but with a two year old it’s likelihood is much greater. There is testing available through a post mortem that will detect air embolism.
It’s tough to arm chair quarterback this without knowing all of the details. As a parent your situation has really hit close to home and I hope you can find the answers you’re looking for.

I’ll support the other comments regarding New Haven being run down and unsafe. My company provided housing while I was working there in a not so desirable neighborhood near Yale. We relocated to Milford after a couple of months. The commute into New Haven wasn’t bad. The pizza is great and you are close to many interesting places you’d probably never visit living in the south. I didn’t enjoy it enough to stay permanently but between New York, Boston and countless small town fairs and festivals someone should be able to enjoy it for a couple years.

If you’re a fan of sherry you should check out Aberlour A’bunadh. Aged in sherry casks, it changed my preference from Bourbon to Scotch.

Got those two and a matchup of Tony with Xander Schauffele. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would drop out of this tournament. The elevation change out there is going to be rough on that ankle. Hoping he doesn't pull some Tiger Woods knee injury heroics.

I’ve read conflicting info regarding chin position during bench. ( tucked vs. neutral ) There are also seems to be disagreements regarding keeping head off of bench to avoid pressure on cervical spine.
What would you advise for protecting facet joints?

A week ago I was finishing last rep on bench press and felt a “pop” near the back of my head followed by intense headache at base of skull and upper neck.
Headache is positional and is less intense when laying flat. Had an MRI of head to rule out anything vascular, results were normal.

My form is good, I wasn’t going for a personal best or single rep max, everything seemed under control. No breath holding, I exhale as I’m pushing the bar up. Just trying to figure out how long this headache will take to go away and how to avoid it occurring again in the future.

Be sure to give us a report after your trip! I've never skied steamboat, would like to hear your comparison.

Has anyone heard from SirWinston? I wanted to say congratulations to him and the many others that were on the train from the beginning.

I used Living Earth in Houston to get the masonry sand.
