The 2012 Chile Challenge EventPosted in Events on August 1, 2012
One of our favorite events to cover is the Chile Challenge out of Las Cruces, New Mexico, put on by the Las Cruces Four Wheel Drive Club. We were first invited by the local 4x4 shop owners, Jim Huff and his wife Nancy, back in the early '90s. The trails at the time were extreme for the day and included Wolf and Guardian, which are unfortunately no longer available. As techniques, trails, and tales evolved over the past 22 years, so have the vehicles and drivers, and now hardcore choices such as Tabasco Twister and Patzcuaro's Revenge rank among the extreme trails in the entire U.S.
This year Huff was on the vendor committee for the event, and he helped get 20 vendors and sponsors—with GenRight as the title sponsor—and a host of others who traveled far and wide to show their wares and be part of the camaraderie and killer trails. In addition, the club showcased a memorial to Jim's wife Nancy, who passed away after last year's event, and also for renowned wheeler and shop owner Harold Off of Off Again Off Road, who also passed away last year (shortly after Moab). The annual ice cream social was dedicated to the two, and we miss them both. But that's one great thing about the event; it's like a family party and everyone is welcome, from newbie to old grizzled trail riders, and it's been that way through the years.
As always, the forces of politics and trail closures weigh heavily on any club hosting trail events on public land. There's always a lot of work for this type of event, and we have to hand it to the club for pulling it off yet again. If you can help with next year's event or even do something to fight trail closures, contact the Las Cruces Four Wheel Drive Club at www.lascrucesfourwheeldriveclub.com. And make sure you register for next year's Chile Challenge.

Nevada legal guardianship
Forms, documents, and legal
While you should always have all
Nevada legal guardianship form(s) you sign reviewed by a
lawyer, it takes time and money to:
Here's the Problem...
It can really be a challenge to really know what it is that you're looking for when it comes to getting the guardianship help you need in Nevada.
THEN…you have to pay the lawyer for the services given.
...Chances are, you will.
There's a better way to get quality Nevada legal guardianship legal forms, and to also receive legal help in Nevada.
Wouldn't you like to have the assurance that you understand what you're signing and that it complies with the laws in Nevada?
Why should you do "what most people do," when "what most people do" only works 50% of the time?
There's a better way!
What does it cost?
For only $89.40 annually (a $7.45 monthly credit card draft) you and your spouse will receive:
If you were to ask a law firm to prepare and review a legal document for you, the cost could be substantial. In fact, on average, one hour of a lawyer's time may cost more than your annual membership fee with the Forms Service Center*!
"Bargain" internet forms and do-it-yourself kits suggest that you consult with a lawyer before executing the document you've purchased. As a member you can send your completed document to be reviewed by a lawyer before you sign it!

The Endangered Yunnan snub-nosed monkey has received a welcome boost in south-western China thanks to conservation efforts, showing a 50% increase in numbers since the 1990s, according to Chinese state media.
Primate in peril
Also known as the black snub-nosed monkey, the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey is an inhabitant of south-western China's high-altitude evergreen forests, where harsh environmental conditions prevail. At elevations between 3,000 and 4,500 metres, these forests suffer extreme weather, with temperatures falling below freezing for several months of the year.
As a result of hunting for food and its pelt, the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey suffered massive declines, coming perilously close to extinction in the 1980s. Since then, authorities have taken action to help save this elusive primate, by enacting a hunting ban, confiscating hunting guns, establishing special protected areas and banning logging.
Conservation success
The concerted conservation efforts have not been in vain, with a survey launched last month discovering that there are now more than 3,000 Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys surviving in the high-elevation forests of China's Yunnan Province and Tibet Autonomous Region. These figures are welcome news, given that there were fewer than 2,000 individuals present in the area in the 1990s. Figures from Yunnan's Baima Snow Mountain Nature Reserve are particularly encouraging, showing a nine-fold increase compared to numbers in the protected area in 1987.

March 22, 2005
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT softball team posted its first season-opening victory in eight years by defeating Carleton College, 1-0, in eight innings on Monday. In the Engineers' second game of the day, they fell to George Fox University, 2-0.
The MIT-Carleton game was a pitchers' duel as each squad tallied four hits and struck out 11 times. Rookie hurler Leah Bogsted totaled 11 strikeouts in her debut, falling just one shy of tying the Institute record of strikeouts in a game.
The Engineers had a chance to get on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fourth inning when Cheryl Texin doubled to right field. She advanced to third on a wild pitch but was stranded as the rest of the side struck out.
In the top of the eighth, Carina Ellis was placed on second base for the Knights. Amanda Espinosa fouled out to catcher Amanda Poteet. Jamie Lykken struck out and then Vickie Gunderson was walked. Leslie Barry reached base on a fielder's choice, resulting in Ellis being forced out at third base.
For Tech, Adrianne Hee was placed on second and then stole third in the bottom half of the inning. Holly Jeffrey grounded out to shortstop and then Texin was walked. During Carly Saylor's at bat, Texin stole second. Saylor recorded the second walk of the inning, loading the bases. Poteet bunted, sending Hee home for the game-winning run.
George Fox wasted no time getting on the scoreboard. Cassie Halvorson led off the game by flying out to centerfield. Kim Backhaus singled and moved to second on a bunt by Hollee Braun. They both stole a base and then Backhaus scored on a wild pitch. Katie Plumb popped up to shortstop, keeping Braun at third. Kerstyn Tsuruda singled to left center, sending Braun home. Back-to-back singles loaded the bases, but Bogsted struck out Kelly Garvin to end the inning.
MIT's offense showed some life in the top of the fifth. Batya Fellman and Elizabeth Gillenwater each posted a single, but two runners were left on base.

It was the late 1970s when Ernesto Malave, lacking a high school diploma but harboring a laser mind and great determination, stepped through the doors of Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC), then located on West 51st Street on the edge of the theater district. Long-haired, with a South Bronx pedigree and a taste for hard rock, he enrolled in an innovative program that gave students a second chance at a high school degree and credits towards college.
At BMCC, Ernesto quickly made himself known. He declared his candidacy for Student Senate. With his remarkable focus and skills of persuasion, he won. A new student, he was now an advocate for students. It was a commitment he would forever keep.
The seeds of Ernesto's professional future—and his personal future as well, since he met his wife, Miriam, at BMCC—were planted in those early years. The roots took hold quickly. The City University of New York was the institution that would nurture him, the place where he could grow. For three decades, so much of Ernesto Malave's life—the flourishing of his professional identity and his rise to positions of increasing responsibility, influence, and leadership—was intertwined with its people, and with honoring and preserving its critical role in this great city and state.
As a student leader at BMCC, he served as a member of the University Student Senate from 1979 to 1981 and as student representative to the CUNY Board of Trustees Committee on Faculty, Staff and Administration in 1979-1980. He was treasurer of BMCC's Student Government, and from 1980 to 1981 served as its president. In 1984, when he earned his bachelor's degree from the College of New Rochelle, he had already been on the staff of CUNY for a year, as an admissions advisor in the Office of Admissions Services.
Two years later, there was a change in direction, a broadening of scope: Ernesto was appointed the University's assistant director of governmental relations, responsible for representing CUNY's interests at City Hall and in Albany. Four years later, in 1989, he joined the University budget office as a budget analyst and assistant to the budget director. Later, he was promoted to executive assistant to the vice chancellor for budget, finance and computing.
He had found his métier. In January 1996 Ernesto Malave became CUNY's acting budget director, a post he fully assumed in 1998. Chancellor Matthew Goldstein named him interim vice chancellor for budget and finance in 2002 and vice chancellor in 2003.
Managing the University's finances and advocating for CUNY's financial survival while staying true to its fundamental mission of offering affordable, accessible, quality higher education to New Yorkers of all circumstances presents demanding, ever-shifting challenges. With his remarkable talents, Ernesto met those challenges head-on. He knew CUNY and the political landscape in which it exists inside and out.
Ernesto could argue his points with relentless focus—and translate the numbers into plain English. He was as comfortable explaining the complexities of CUNY's multibillion-dollar budgets to legislators as to the University Faculty Senate, student government, and other student groups. He took the time to bring his "budget school" to officials and students at leadership retreats, decoding the University's finances so that tough choices could be understood and shared.
He was also creative. Navigating the University through increasingly choppy financial straits, Ernesto helped devise a brilliant public-private financing mechanism—the CUNY Compact, now the New York Compact for Public Higher Education—that would help keep the University moving forward on an even financial keel.
Above all, he was passionate about protecting the students who would be most affected by the vagaries of the economy, preserving counseling, advisement and other services critical to student retention and success. Even as funding for the University constricted, he found ways to bring more full-time faculty into the classroom.
Ernesto lived and breathed CUNY. He was also Miriam's husband, Ernesto and Erik's father, a son, a brother, a mentor, beloved colleague, and friend to many. He played a scrappy game of pickup basketball and listened to soothing Spanish ballads and other oldies at his desk.
Ernesto managed a vast financial universe, but he was no ordinary chief financial officer. His bottom line was keeping CUNY's riches affordable for the most economically vulnerable of students—whether hailing from his old South Bronx neighborhood, Flatbush, East Elmhurst, or the Lower East Side—who surge through the University's golden doors each year. That he kept that promise will always be remembered.

I was among those waiting with bated breath to see what Steve Jobs would be unveiling last Wednesday morning at the latest Apple event.
I was among those really impressed and excited by what I saw when the iPad was unveiled. I'm not really surprised about the many who are jumping on the critical bandwagon, but I think they are missing something big.
First, about the name. As someone tweeted a few days ago, there are lots of people who still giggle about male and female plugs. Kinda silly, I think. Picking a name is really hard, especially one that's not already mostly taken. I don't think the name is all that important.
What I think many of the critics miss is that I believe the iPad is aimed at people like me.
I'm a baby boomer. But I love technology. And I especially love it when it loves me back.
Here's an example: For years, I had a cell phone. I could barely use it…I could never remember, for example, exactly what combination of buttons I needed to hit to retrieve a voice mail. I could never remember how to text. And texting was just way too much trouble. And so on. While I wanted to love my cell phone, I felt it hated me and wanted to make my life as difficult as possible.
Granted, I've been a Mac person since 1986. I remember using a DOS PC at work in the mid-80s, struggling to make flyers with Harvard Graphics. OMG, it almost killed me. I could tell it hated me intensely. What took me 6 hours at work, I did in 15 minutes on my Mac Plus when I got home. I felt like my Mac wanted my life and work to be easy. It wanted me to spend my energy being creative rather than wrestling with remembering command lines, trying to change and move text with command lines, etc. I did better work, learned more faster, tapped into more creativity, etc. as a result of my Mac.
It's not that my brain wasn't capable of doing geeky stuff. I took a computer programming course in 1971 in my last quarter in college at the University of Chicago and got an A. That was in the day when you turned your punch cards in to be run through the mainframe overnight. In that class, we learned several languages and had to invent our own programming language. It was hard, but I loved the hell out of it. (I even remember the error message I invented… I thought it was so cool I figured out to tell exactly what card the error was on, so in celebration, I wrote this error message: "Roses are red, violets are blue, Card #6 is fucked up, and so are you." We found way to make everything fun in the late 60s/early 70s, didn't we??? :))
I loved understanding how computers worked, the whole flow chart binary logic decision tree thing, and so forth. Having that very basic knowledge made me not afraid of technology when it came to every home and workplace several years later. I was a fairly early adopter, especially when the Mac came along because it exactly matched my brain.
But I digress.
When the iPhone came along, I was one of those in line at 6 p.m. on launch day at the Pioneer Place Apple Store in downtown Portland. From what I had heard, I would finally have a cell phone that loved me back. And I was so right! Bascially, in less than 5 minutes, I had figured out how to do the whole thing and do it with joy. It really was that good!
Now many of my more geeky friends have looked down on the iPhone because the "phone" part is not geeky enough for them. But I don't think Apple was trying to make the geekiest possible phone. They were making something incredibly useful for people like me: people who want their devices to be joyful to use.
My iPhone has made my life more joyful and efficient and less stressful and painful. Mostly because I grokked it immediately and it is just effortless and fun.
About the iPad, I've been hearing comments like this: "It won't replace my laptop." Well, hello, it's not designed to do that. I'll still need my laptop for the geekier stuff I do. I wouldn't dream of doing without it, I'm not looking to get rid of it.
Also: "It doesn't have a camera." So what? I'll still have my iPhone, and use its camera. Or my Flip video cam. Do I really want to hold up a flat thing that is a little less than the size of an 8×10 piece of paper and use it as a camera. Hell no. I want something I can whip around with one hand with essentially no effort (and allows me to be a little discreet sometimes).
Also: "It's just a bigger iPod touch." Uh, no, not really. Having the iWork suite of programs on it puts it light years ahead of the iPod in my book. Do you know what a joy those programs are to use. Let's just put it this way: once I did one presentation in Keynote, I could not go back to Powerpoint if you sat on me.
Also, it is big enough for practical book and other print media reading. I don't enjoy that so much on my iPhone because either the font size stays too small or there's not enough real estate for enough words. Yes, I have a Kindle (first generation). I've loved it, especially the part that makes it possible to download a book and read it immediately. But woe to those of us who buy a Kindle book that has charts, maps or any kind of images. Just an utter fail. Can't even make them out, and you can't enlarge them like you can the font text size.
From what I see, the iPad totally overcomes that issue. For magazines and newspapers as well. Have you seen the quality of the photos and images on the iPad. And what you can do to go further??? Looks like it will be another joyful experience! As joyful as reading a dead tree magazine or newspaper, if not more so…
It seems to me that Apple has, once again, found a way to make experiences I like to have more enjoyable. It makes things I love that love me back!
And that's really Apple's point, is it not?

Criminal charges weighed in Newtown deaths
HARTFORD -- The prosecutor investigating the Newtown school massacre told a new panel Thursday not to expect a final report on the Dec. 14 slaughter anytime soon.
Danbury State's Attorney Stephen J. Sedensky III announced that while no criminal prosecution seems likely to emerge from the mass murder and suicide, he wants to suppress much of the evidence from the public anyway.
"This is an ongoing criminal investigation, for which I have obtained extensions of time from the Superior Court to keep documents sealed, so that the investigation may continue unencumbered by distractions," Sedensky said.
"The rules of professional responsibility for prosecutors require that I take steps to prevent publicity that would have a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing a potential prosecution," he said.
In a brief appearance before Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's 16-member Sandy Hook Advisory Commission, Sedensky said that he expects the State Police report on the shootings to be several months away.
"Of course, if the investigation reveals that there should be a criminal prosecution, then that prosecution would take precedence over any report," Sedensky told the panel of municipal officials, mental health experts, security professionals and social-service providers.
"Though no such prosecution currently appears on the horizon, I am sure you can appreciate that all leads need to be investigated and evidence examined before final decisions and statements are made," he said.
He offered to meet privately with a representative of the advisory panel to provide information that he might not release to the public.
Sedensky said that during the first week after the shootings, federal, state and local police worked around the clock investigating the crime scenes at Sandy Hook Elementary School, at the 36 Yogananda St. home of Nancy Lanza, whose son Adam, 20, murdered her before driving her car to the school, and elsewhere.
It will be months before a report is released.
"We are hoping for some time this summer, perhaps in June," said Sedensky, a Newtown resident, adding that details on the mental health of Adam Lanza, are protected from disclosure under privacy regulations and might not be able to be provided to the commission.
Bill Ritter, the former governor of Colorado whose district attorney of Denver investigated the aftermath of the 1999 shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, told the panel the nation is watching.
"You could wind up saving lives at some point in the future," said Ritter, who later became governor and became a target for a deranged gunman who was shot and killed by a state trooper outside his office. "Healing can happen" but it can be a long-term process.
Richard Bonnie, a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law who was an adviser to the Virginia Tech Review Panel following that 2007 shooting, warned that legislation and regulatory changes can be affected by emotions.
"Tragedy can compromise thoughtful policy making," he said from Virginia.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, in the panel's first meeting Thursday morning, said that the consequence that seems to be separating Newtown from other mass shootings is that momentum for a positive outcome to the crime seems to be gaining every day, not fading.
"We must take a serious look at public safety, particularly school safety, so our children can grow up and go to school without the fear of violence in a culture that does in fact glorify violence," Malloy said.
"We need to have a discussion about stopping that," Malloy said. "The recommendations you will craft over the coming weeks and months will no doubt take us toward that goal: better mental health, better safety in our schools and a system that is set up to stop the glorification of the violence."
Later in the afternoon, after Sedensky's testimony, Malloy, a former prosecutor, was asked by reporters about the reticence to release more details of the shooting.
"I think there's always this situation where a prosecutor is trying to make the right balance," Malloy said.
"This was an attack so outrageous, in the killing of 20 six-year-olds that in many ways it's going to have an imprint, the likes of which I can remember where I was, in the classroom, when someone came in to say President Kennedy was shot," Malloy said. "I think this is that kind of event. So I think he needs to take the time necessary to conclude the investigation. Having said that, I would hope that as little time is necessary. It's more important to get it right than to rush out a report."
On Friday morning, a legislative subcommittee looking into issues of school security after the Sandy Hook shootings will hold a public hearing starting at 9:30 a.m. in Room 2-C of the Legislative Office Building in Hartford.

A Few Things...
"Hello, I'm Dr. Panda. What brings you folks in to the Emergency Department."
"I think my baby has an ear infection."
"What does your pediatrician think about it?"
"I didn't call."
"Why not?"
"I only call the pediatrician for important things."
And Another...
"Excuse me, do you know when that jackass doctor is going to get around to see me?"
"I'm the Jackass Doctor. We're really busy today and I will get to you as soon as I possibly can."
"I've been here for two hours."
"Sorry, I've had some really sick patients today."
"Man..I could have just gone to Wal Mart and got some cold medicine."
One More...
(Very Pleasant Gentleman in a Hall Bed)
"You know what, I can see that you're really busy today. I'm really not that sick. I think I'll just go home and call my doctor in the morning."
Bear With Me
Sure, my first post on this blog was something of a diatribe, laden with cliches and an exercise in dead horse flagellation. That there was nothing original in the whole article has been established definitively by many of my critics. I beg your indulgence. I have not written much over the last year and I'm a little rusty. In my defense, I have well over 700 pages of content on my old blog and if you think it's easy coming up with something original to say in every article I invite you to try it.
On the other hand, some things just need to be repeated again and again, particularly anecdotal evidence to support the general consensus that American Medicine is an insane Goat Rodeo organized and directed by the rodeo clowns who ensure that it is as difficult and expensive to deliver care as it can possibly be. The paperwork burden alone is phenomenal and grows every year defying any kind of reason or common sense except the inexorable logic of a rapidly expanding state and federal bureaucracy that exists to perpetuate and amplify this kind of thing in the circle jerk that we know as public service.
I am also amazed that, in exchange for the right to comment on American Goat Rodeodery, I must provide intricate solutions to its problems. In fact, the solutions are as obvious as they are difficult to implement and there is no amount of policy wonkery or 2000-page Health Care Bills That Nobody Read that will change the basic facts that we are ridiculously over-doctored, over-litigated, over-regulated, and over entitled. Or that most of the money spent on medical care is wasted and buys services that are at best horrifically redundant but mostly just unnecessary. Medical care, something that most people don't need much of most of the time has become the bloated tail wagging the corpulent national dog and is both the cause of our economic decline and the blunt instrument to be used by government to extend its influence into every aspect of your life. We have gone insane in this country harboring as we do a pathological fear that somebody, somewhere, somehow might be expected to pay for his own routine medical care.
Why, it might cut into his cigarette money.
It is this insanity that serves as a permanent obstacle to common sense things like meaningful medical malpractice reforms, ending the practice of futile care, holding people accountable for lifestyle decisions, and making it just a little more difficult for a 25-year-old methadone addict to collect disability.
Medical School Debt
I never said my debt was unmanageable. I just commented that the month between the end of residency and my first real paycheck was a difficult one. I'm actually paid pretty well, a lot more than I thought I would be making, and on that point I have no complaints. I imagine the economic outlook for Emergency Physicians will continue to improve as the wonder that is Obamacare unfolds on an unsuspecting public who will have trouble finding primary care doctors who are still in business. Hell, Emergency Departments are already swamped. I see between thirty and forty patients in a twelve hour shift and while not all of them are minor complaints, the vast majority are and when you take out the patients who are lazy, stupid, and irresponsible, a good portion of those are people who simply could not get a timely appointment with their own doctor.
I'm a special case in regard to debt anyway as I was a non-traditional medical student and resident. Generally, if you follow the normal path into medicine (college to medical school to residency to practice) your debt is very reasonable compared to your income and you would be stupid to ask the government to pay your way, thereby ensuring they have a first dibs on your ass at all times. The hardships of medical school debt, for most doctors, is something of a myth.

Man, Panda where do you practice??? That make believe town in TVLand where the Cleavers, Donna Reed, and Mr. Ed lived??ReplyDelete
You try that "What brings you folks into the Emergency Department?"(And why do you have to call it the Emergency "Department"? and not "Room", we might have to live with a British style Healthcare system but we don't have to talk like em)in the Dirty South and you'll hear...
A: "Da Bus"
B: "Que.....????????"
C: "Who Yew Callin "Folks" Mo-Fo?"
D: "Arrggggummmmmahhhhhhh"(that unintelligible sound drunks make)
E: "I was watching Manchester United on the Telly when I developed this tremendous pain in my left flank, 2 Paracetamols have done absolutley nothing, could I trouble you for a spot of Laudanum old Chap, and yes, I did just fly in on BOAC, but it would take me 3 years to be seen in an English Emergency Department"
and I've never understood doctors who complain about filled waiting rooms, thats who pays your paycheck, if only really sick people came to the ER it'd be like the old days, when the ER was really just a Room for emergencies, and you could get your appendix out for $20.
Watta ya want, to sit on your ass and look at porn for $200/hr?? Shoulda gone into Anesthesia...
people need to chill the fuck out. of course some of your initial posts will be redundant. not everyone here knows who you are and your first post is an introduction.ReplyDelete
i for one am glad to see you back. your writing style is immensely entertaining and your depiction of the numbskulls we deal with every day (patients, admin, other docs, etc etc) are spot on. i don't agree with your political views but whatever, that is what it is.
actually i do agree with you that the liberals are completely screwing the pooch with health care. but i happen to think the conservatives would do no better. i think their plan was to continue the status quo, slow march off the cliff into financial oblivion. the liberal plan takes that slow march and speeds it up into a comfortable jog. seeing that the reform health care actually needs probably won't happen until we are at or beyond the brink of collapse, one could argue that the liberal plan is better because it gets us there faster.
all i ask is that the collapse happen while i am still young and have some reserve, health-wise and money-wise, and not when i am old and more likely to be impacted by, say, every hospital in my state closing or a national doc strike.
and now off to 3 days of fast track, where docs' press-ganey scores go to die.
I actually appreciate ER nurse and doctor bloggers, it has kept me out of the ER repeatedly. Kind of like WWJD, WW ER blogger say on their blog about me..ReplyDelete

I think it has some stiff competition from the education industry.
fucking awesome British accent. and 'laudanum'? i haven't heard that since i watched "Tombstone", again (and cried, again).
and the parentheticals... what's with all the parentheticals?
and since you always make me want to get into my stream of consciousness mode... got home from a shift two nights ago (waiting room was full all day, crab were plentiful, the pots were full... oh by the way, nurses, it neither makes me speed up nor slow down or do anything when you update me every two minutes with 'three more just signed in!!!!!') and turned on to "E".
show? top 25 most voluptuous women... hosted by??? gay guys. is that the only way TV can do a great-looking women show anymore? gay guys? ruined a perfectly good show... too jarring.
ah, memories.ReplyDelete
12 hour shifts? they suck. are you doing the twelves on the 'fast track' side? do you then go to the 'acute side' for other shifts?
i'm a huge CS Lewis fan, but did not much like 'the screwtape letters'... however, his portrayal of hell as a rather quiet place, absent fire and brimstone, run by paper pushing, back-stabbing bureaucrats is great. the banality of evil.
Actual patient conversation with a patient yesterday:ReplyDelete
"Can I have a prescription for Tylenol?"
"You don't need a prescription for Tylenol, it's available over the counter, in fact, you can buy it at the Dollar Store".
"But, if you write a prescription, my 'insurance' will pay for it".
"Mam, your cigarettes are $3 a pack, the Tylenol for your kid's fever is a buck, there's no reason for the tax payers (Medicaid) to buy it."
Another patient conversation last week:
(Drunk patient after his 6th seizure off medications in the last 5 months...)
"Are you taking your seizure medicine sir?"
"No, I haven't got any, my lawyer can't get my disability approved".
"Well sir, until that happens, you could purchase your medication. Your medication is $4 a month at WalMart, Target, and Walgreens".
"But, I don't have my disability yet".
"Sir, you could use those green rectangles that you exchange for beer and exchange a few of them for your medication instead. Wouldn't that be better than biting your tongue and hitting your head once or twice a month?"
"But my lawyer is gonna get me on disability."

These exchanges are ridiculous! I know I shouldn't be surprised by the stuff people say but it still gets me from time to time. Got any tips for someone about to start their third year rotations? You know... besides "run for your life."ReplyDelete

Panda, I know your new at this game, but the only reason most patients ask for prescriptions is so they can see what your signature looks like so they can forge it on Oxycodone prescriptions. Helpful hint, if you do have to write an actual Rx, use a funny alias, I like Billy Rubin myself, if they really do use it for tylenol the pharmacist won't care, and if they try to get 500 tylenol #3's the DEA will wear out the soles of there shiny shoes interogating every Dr. Rubin in the state...ReplyDelete

I hear Dr's talking about patient shenanigans and people going to the E.R. for dry eyes but when are the line level Dr's going to man up and just refer patients to the specialist they NEED to go to instead of making you come back time after time (work comp), probably getting paid a nickle or time from insurance for their lack of bedside mannor with me, to have my blood pressure read and see how the pain meds aren't working?ReplyDelete
dear mr policeman,ReplyDelete
this will happen during the implementation of Obamacare, september 5, 2010.

VATICAN CITY — Tens of thousands of people gathered in St. Peter's Square this morning for Pope Benedict XVI's Christmas Day talk and blessing "urbi et orbi" ("to the city and the world").
Speaking from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, the pope said Jesus "is the hand that God extends" to humanity, which is afraid, uncertain and troubled. All people have to do, he said, is stretch out their hands and ask for help.
He offered special prayers for people who are suffering from natural disasters, war or political instability and tensions, including in the Holy Land, where Christ "chose to come into the world."
Under a deep blue, sunny sky, the crowd that flocked to the square enjoyed the music of military bands while waiting for the pope and pressed around the Nativity scene in the center of the square.
After delivering his message in Italian, the pope offered Christmas greetings in 65 languages. In English he said, "May the birth of the Prince of Peace remind the world where its true happiness lies; and may your hearts be filled with hope and joy, for the Savior has been born for us."
Here is the text of the pope's message:
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Rome and throughout the world!
Christ is born for us! Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth to the men and women whom he loves. May all people hear an echo of the message of Bethlehem which the Catholic Church repeats in every continent, beyond the confines of every nation, language and culture. The Son of the Virgin Mary is born for everyone; he is the Savior of all.
This is how Christ is invoked in an ancient liturgical antiphon: "O Emmanuel, our king and lawgiver, hope and salvation of the peoples: come to save us, O Lord our God". Veni ad salvandum nos! Come to save us! This is the cry raised by men and women in every age, who sense that by themselves they cannot prevail over difficulties and dangers. They need to put their hands in a greater and stronger hand, a hand which reaches out to them from on high. Dear brothers and sisters, this hand is Jesus, born in Bethlehem of the Virgin Mary. He is the hand that God extends to humanity, to draw us out of the mire of sin and to set us firmly on rock, the secure rock of his Truth and his Love (cf. Ps 40:2).
This is the meaning of the Child's name, the name which, by God's will, Mary and Joseph gave him: he is named Jesus, which means "Savior" (cf. Mt 1:21; Lk 1:31). He was sent by God the Father to save us above all from the evil deeply rooted in man and in history: the evil of separation from God, the prideful presumption of being self-sufficient, of trying to compete with God and to take his place, to decide what is good and evil, to be the master of life and death (cf. Gen 3:1-7). This is the great evil, the great sin, from which we human beings cannot save ourselves unless we rely on God's help, unless we cry out to him: "Veni ad salvandum nos! – Come to save us!"
The very fact that we cry to heaven in this way already sets us aright; it makes us true to ourselves: we are in fact those who cried out to God and were saved (cf. Esth [LXX] 10:3ff.). God is the Savior; we are those who are in peril. He is the physician; we are the infirm. To realize this is the first step towards salvation, towards emerging from the maze in which we have been locked by our pride. To lift our eyes to heaven, to stretch out our hands and call for help is our means of escape, provided that there is Someone who hears us and can come to our assistance.
Jesus Christ is the proof that God has heard our cry. And not only this! God's love for us is so strong that he cannot remain aloof; he comes out of himself to enter into our midst and to share fully in our human condition (cf. Ex 3:7-12). The answer to our cry which God gave in Jesus infinitely transcends our expectations, achieving a solidarity which cannot be human alone, but divine. Only the God who is love, and the love which is God, could choose to save us in this way, which is certainly the lengthiest way, yet the way which respects the truth about him and about us: the way of reconciliation, dialogue and cooperation.
Dear brothers and sisters in Rome and throughout the world, on this Christmas 2011, let us then turn to the Child of Bethlehem, to the Son of the Virgin Mary, and say: "Come to save us!" Let us repeat these words in spiritual union with the many people who experience particularly difficult situations; let us speak out for those who have no voice.
Together let us ask God's help for the peoples of the Horn of Africa, who suffer from hunger and food shortages, aggravated at times by a persistent state of insecurity. May the international community not fail to offer assistance to the many displaced persons coming from that region and whose dignity has been sorely tried.
May the Lord grant comfort to the peoples of South-East Asia, particularly Thailand and the Philippines, who are still enduring grave hardships as a result of the recent floods.
May the Lord come to the aid of our world torn by so many conflicts which even today stain the earth with blood. May the Prince of Peace grant peace and stability to that Land where he chose to come into the world, and encourage the resumption of dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians. May he bring an end to the violence in Syria, where so much blood has already been shed. May he foster full reconciliation and stability in Iraq and Afghanistan. May he grant renewed vigour to all elements of society in the countries of North Africa and the Middle East as they strive to advance the common good.
May the birth of the Savior support the prospects of dialogue and cooperation in Myanmar, in the pursuit of shared solutions. May the Nativity of the Redeemer ensure political stability to the countries of the Great Lakes Region of Africa, and assist the people of South Sudan in their commitment to safeguarding the rights of all citizens.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, let us turn our gaze anew to the grotto of Bethlehem. The Child whom we contemplate is our salvation! He has brought to the world a universal message of reconciliation and peace. Let us open our hearts to him; let us receive him into our lives. Once more let us say to him, with joy and confidence: "Veni ad salvandum nos!"

Journals and Posts
Looking for Henry Wharton b abt 1856
Hi, My name is Barbara Abbotts (born DAVIS) and Thomas James Wharton b 1860 was my great grandfather. Thomas James Wharton was also known as Wynne (surname). He married Lily Bessie Maria Lathan and they had several children. One of these children was Thirza Emily Eleanor Wharton b 1895 who was my grandmother. Henry Wharton was the brother of Thomas James Wharton AKA Wynne. I seem to have hit a brick wall as I know he emigrated to Queensland, Australia about 15th December 1873. He wrote a letter to his mother on 6th Dec 1875 from Yatale Post, Albert R, Brisbane, Queensland. After that I can find nothing. Any help would me buch appreciated.
Kind Regards,

It's easter egg season! Dyeing easter eggs is a craft that I've always really liked. When I was little, we used to blow out eggs and decorate them, and hard boil some for decorating too. I think the blown out ones were special — though I can't remember why. I just remember being horrified that raw egg was going to go into my mouth and some combination of that fear and my little kid lungs meaning that someone else had to blow the egg out for me.
Pysanky-Ukrainian Easter Eggs are some of the most beautiful Easter eggs. A few years ago, Design*Sponge had a diy project for ukrainian eggs made simple. It looks really beautiful and not that difficult although the final result is certainly not as elegant at the elaborate pysanky eggs.
These Doodle Easter eggs made with a black sharpie an help you get an intricate design like the pysanky eggs without the effort of dyeing. I don't think I have a steady enough hand for this. My paisley designs even on paper come out looking kind of crazy in a bad way.
I think decoupage is probably my best option for getting an elaborate design! The best thing about decoupage is you don't even have to use a real egg.
This tutorial from Two Girls Being Crafty uses napkins to decoupage! Clever!
You could also use a simpler material for your decoupage.
I think these Paper Mache Easter Eggs from Centsational Girl are beautiful! They look so natural.
Natural dyed eggs are really pretty too, but it kind of intimidates me.
This DIY uses leaves, onion peels, stocking to create beautiful brown eggs.
If you want more Natural Dyes for Easter Eggs, ApartmentTherapy had a great roundup. It includes recipes for the above natural-dyed eggs via Two Men and a Little Farm. What a gorgeous palette!
My favorite idea is to use temporary tattoos to decorate eggs.
These nature temporary tatoos look beautiful on undyed Easter eggs (via CountryLiving).
I also adore these thread wrap easter eggs from Martha Stewart. They're really pretty and the little bid of thread adds a nice texture.
We're hosting Easter this year! We hosted last year, too, but it was just my parents and Kyle's parents. This year, we have my extended family and his grandma coming too. That means I'll be in a fit cleaning the house Saturday and finishing up little chores. I hope I find time to dye some eggs!

From a bank of chairs in an NBC Universal control room, technician Antonella Caruso counted down as if she were anticipating a rocket booster's liftoff: "Nine, eight, seven, six ..."
It was a dress rehearsal for USA's plan to let viewers of "Psych" choose the ending of Wednesday's episode, celebrating the drama's 100th episode and culminating the network's two-year experiment at an exclusively fan-centered approach at marketing.
In the episode, Shawn (actor James Roday) and Gus (Dule Hill) try to solve a murder at a party hosted by an old rock star in a California mansion. There are five suspects: the groupie, the manager, the author, the host and, of course, the butler.
During the show, the suspects are narrowed down to three and viewers are asked to vote on social media who they thought committed the crime. Three endings were filmed, each lasting three minutes, and the top vote-getter will be used.
The episode salutes the 1985 film "Clue" and features that film's actors Christopher Lloyd, Lesley Ann Warren and Martin Mull, along with guest shots from Garrett Morris and Curt Smith of Tears For Fears.
Depending on where you live, you could see a different ending. USA is conducting separate votes for the East and West coast airings of the show. (Viewers in other time zones will see the Eastern version at 10 p.m. Eastern.) They estimate tabulating 190,000 to 250,000 votes.
Viewer-selected endings aren't necessarily unique (CBS' "Hawaii Five-0" did one this year), but here fans will be updated a handful of times during the show on how the vote is going. That's where Caruso's practice came in; she was counting down to an insert of a vote tally.
"Psych" is in its seventh season, a point at which most shows are considered "mature" and are losing viewers, but it does have a relatively young, devoted audience and is USA's third most-popular original show behind "Burn Notice" and "Suits." Instead of running general advertisements encouraging viewership when its sixth season started last year, USA sought to engage fans through social media and activities, said Alexandra Shapiro, USA's executive vice president of marketing and digital.
"It's great to be loved," Shapiro said. "But you have to love back."
TV show lets viewers pick the ending tonight

You are kind, but no illusions there about the quality of poetry. Was trying to come to terms with this vexing pattern: find someone who finally makes sense, then this feeling of sad betrayal, the slow seepage of toxic stuff: inexcusable ethical lapses even by the most benign of yard sticks. If one has understood the way out of suffering and is able to teach it well, shouldn't one be using their own guide book? Does it not make a lie of one's words if they live contrarily? I readied myself to throw out all, the master and the disciple until...catmoon wrote:I thought it wasn't bad really. Kinda controversial, but good poetry often is.
I walked into this shop in downtown Vancouver B.C. with the slimmest of book selections, and there was Pema Chodron looking serenely from atop a stone wall on a book cover that read, No Time to Lose. The barcode sticker in tiny letters said, Semperviva. Was I ready to throw out the truth because I found her mentor repulsive? Was it not the truth that Chodron had found a way to apply the very heart of Buddhist teachings, karuna, to her guide and moved past his flaws to discover inspired wisdom? In throwing her out as well, was I not running, until one day, I would have no room to stand?
Semperviva, always life, and therefore Chodron with her impeccable ethics and no-nonsense, hearfelt wisdom was ok, inspite of her mentor, this latest incarnation (figure of speech) from the mishap lineage*.
No, there was no time to lose and I picked up the book.
*mishap lineage: Chodron talks about Trungpa's lineage in The Wisdom of No Escape, so named because of Naropa, the intellectual snob, Marpa the drunk, Milarepa, the murderer. No conflict so far, in fact, I welcomed this lineage, for, after all, they seemed redeemed in the end. Not so, the last one, as far as I can tell. As far as I can tell, for who in the end has a handle on the truth? Is there the truth? Roshomon comes to mind.

SPRINGFIELD – Most people don't think about it, but if you're involved in it on either side, few things are as important. Now, the stories surrounding it, told by the people who lived it, are available on the School District Reorganization section of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ALPLM) Oral History website.
"These interviews with 46 people cover school district reorganization from the 1950s to the present from all angles, and include stories by career educators, administrators, citizens and legislators," said Mark DePue, director of oral history for the ALPLM. "Few things are more traumatic for otherwise vibrant communities than losing a piece of their identity when a cherished school is closed."
The oral history interviews include parents and teachers on the front lines of the reorganization battle, as well as some well-known names: Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon, who served as chair of the Classroom First Commission; state Sens. David Leuchtefeld, Linda Holmes and Jeff Schoenburg; state Reps. Linda Chapa-LaVia and Roger Eddy; and former Illinois State Schools Superintendents Robert Leininger and Max McGee.
The interviews also include two Bureau County residents who were on the front line of two reorganizations.
Amber Harper is the former superintendent of the Leepertown School District, which was annexed into the Ladd and Princeton Elementary school districts July 1. Last fall, Harper received a call from Simon's office and was asked to provide testimony before the Classroom's First Commission.
"Leepertown's challenges with consolidation had been noticed in Springfield," Harper said.
After Harper testified, she was contacted by Phillip Pogue, who was in the audience. Pogue, who conducted the interviews for the website, asked Harper to participate.
Harper said Pogue came to her office and interviewed her, focusing mostly on the unique obstacles Leepertown had in its efforts to consolidate.
Harper said the oral histories provide the future generations with a look at schools in prior decades.
"Families have changed, and children have moved away from the rural areas and have not returned," she said.
There are also fewer family farms, and the loss of industries and businesses in the rural areas makes it more difficult for families to earn a living. In addition, the rules and regulations governing schools has become greater, making it more difficult for the small schools to exist and meet the needs of their communities children.
"Hopefully, these personal oral histories will provide a better understanding of how Illinois demographics have changed over time and will be a contribution to the Illinois archives," she said.
Also interviewed was current Bureau Valley Board President Keith Bolin, who was involved in the forming of the district.
Bolin said Pogue contacted him for an interview and came out to Walnut to speak with him about his experiences.
"I was able to tell what I know, the grassroots side of the story," he said.
Bolin said he was sitting in an audience in June 1993 when he first heard a proposal for consolidation.
"I didn't have a position on it at the time," he said. "I struggled with that."
Bolin was asked to be involved, and in the fall of 1993, Western High School brought forward another plan for consolidation.
Bolin said oral histories like his can give people a little perspective of what was going on at the time. He said there are lessons to be learned from looking back at the consolidation process.
"Bob Elliott always said the process was valuable," Bolin said. "He said, 'It isn't just what you decide, but how you get there.'"
The School District Reorganization Oral History project covers how communities have handled school reorganizations through the years, including public hearings, feasibility studies and school referenda. Communities struggling with the need to reorganize have dealt with a dizzying array of issues, including locations and closures; tax rates; transportation routes; enrollment impacts; consolidations, annexations, detachments, dissolutions, conversions and cooperative schools; and that ever-important community symbol — the school mascot, dubbed "the most difficult animal to kill" by media covering school reorganization issues in Illinois.

Arm9 hotplug
Hotplug on ARM9 This article explains (very short) how the hot plug system on the Linkstation Pro (also Live and Terasation Pro/Live - on the ARM9 series)works and shows a simple way to alter it in order to perform custom actions upon hot plugging.
The hotplug system
When plugging in a new usb device /sbin/hotplug is called. Before the call a number of environment variables are set (see http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/?selected=hotplug). For this article the most important are:
$PRODUCT the product ID of the device $ACTION "add"/"remove" depending on if the device is plugged or unplugged $PATH /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
Further a parameter $1 is passed to /sbin/hotplug, that depends on the device. Depending on this parameter scripts in /etc/hotplug.d/$1/*.hotplug are called. On the linkstation pro only one script for handling external usb disks exists /etc/hotplug.d/scsi_device/usb-buffalo.hotplug.
The idea was brought to me by an article in the German IT magazine c't (16/2007). The idea in short: If you plug in a device you usually want to perform a certain action. For a camera you want to copy the images from the camera to the hard disc, if it's a mp3 player you might to put new music on it...
The mentioned article used udev and hal (hardware abstraction layer). Due to the different mechanism implemented on the arm9 stock firmware it can not be transfered directly. So we adapt the idea using the hotplug.d concept.
All we have to do is to add a user script e.g /etc/hotplug.d/usb/mydevice.hotplug and make it executable.
This is explained in the following for a Canon powershot. We download the images, rotate them according to the exif flags and store them into a date dependent folder.
Example: image downloading
When connecting the camera to the linkstation I want all images (JPG, AVI) to be copied to the hard disk into year/month folders and the photos should be rotated according to the info in the EXIF tag. During operation feedback is given by the info LED, in case of an error the diag LED starts to flash.
Copying is done using gphoto2, jhead evaluates the EXIF tag and calls libjpeg to rotate the JPG's. gphoto2 and libjpeg are available via ipkg from the optware feed, you can find a compiled jhead version (2.8) in the download section (http://downloads.nas-central.org/Uploads/LSPro/Binaries/).
The script for the usb device has to be in /etc/hotplug.d/usb, its name has to have the form *.hotplug and it has to be executable. It is called from /sbin/hotplug, for my camera the variable $PRODUCT is set to "4a9/313a/2" if this is the case and $ACTION is equal to "add" then it's time for action.
Currently the line for deleting the images from the camera (gphoto2 -RD) is commented out - to avoid any trouble in case there's a bug in the script. See the comments!

Lakeville is the only community in the area to become a Green Community, in accordance with the Green Community Act.
Lakeville is the only community in the area to become a Green Community, in accordance with the Green Community Act.
If it were up to town selectmen and the Renewable Energy Committee, Dighton would be the next one on that list, making it the first in Bristol County to officially go "green."
At the last selectmen meeting, town intern Mark Pritchard conducted a presentation on what it would take for Dighton to earn the designation.
No action was taken and there were more questions than answers at the meeting.
Selectman Patrick Menges said plans will be discussed at the next department head meeting. If it receives a favorable review, the town will file an application, along with the town water district, Bristol County Agricultural High School, the regional schools, Dighton Electric District and the North Dighton Fire District.
The entities will join as one and file an application with the state Department of Energy Resources.
He said if an application is approved, the town will receive money from the state toward reducing its energy consumption by 20 percent in five years, using last year as the starting point.
"We then need to establish a baseline for energy consumption for town government," Menges said.
He added that all energy consumption — from fuel oil to electricity — will be converted into a million British thermal units. That MBTU number will be used as the starting point and the town will come up with a plan to reduce that number by 4 percent each year for the next five years.
Menges said the town will ask the state for an energy manger — to be paid for through a grant — and it will ask town voters to adopt a stretch building code.
He said such a code will force new building construction in town to conform to energy efficient building construction. Menges said it will make new construction projects more expensive but it will also make those buildings more valuable.
Menges said the state in general will likely be adopting an international building code that is similar in nature. However, a stretch code will take energy efficiency to a more stringent level for new construction projects.
Menges and Pritchard said there are small steps that can be taken if the town moves forward and an application is approved. The town can re-route bus routes to save money and it can use LED lighting for town buildings and other municipal lighting.

ANNVILLE, Pa. - Lycoming's league-best defense and a rare October snowstorm slowed down Lebanon Valley as the Dutchmen fell, 10-7, at Arnold Field on Saturday.
Played in heavy snowfall with several inches of accumulation on the field, neither team could get much going offensively, with a touchdown apiece and Zack Czap's 29-yard field goal to end the first half the ultimate decider for the Warriors (7-1, 5-1 MAC).
The Dutchmen (5-3, 3-3 MAC) managed just 184 yards of offense in the snow, with Tim Picerno's touchdown their only points.
Lebanon Valley had a final shot at the win, going for four Hail Mary chances in the final seconds, but a completion in the end zone never came after Colt Zarilla hit Picerno for 28 yards to the Lycoming 45 with 25 seconds remaining.
"They were able to run the football at us, and we didn't have a consistent running game to go against them," said head coach Jim Monos. "They're a good defensive football team and we knew that going in. It probably played into them that we weren't able to throw the ball as well as we can."
Lycoming did not complete a pass as they ran 69 times for 217 yards, led by Parker Showers' 115 yards and Craig Needhammer's 84. Quarterback Zach Klinger ran for 18 yards, including Lycoming's lone touchdown.
Without running back Ben Guiles, who left the game after nine carries, LVC managed 88 yards on the ground led by Blair Ransom's 62, and Zarilla was 4-for-21 for 96 yards and two interceptions.
A Guiles fumble forced by Anthony Marascio on LVC's first series led to an 11-play Warrior scoring drive capped by Klinger's one-yard sneak, and neither team would score again in the first half until Czap hit from 29 with the wind at his back as time expired in the second quarter.
LVC got life back in the third, backing the Warriors up and getting a favorable punt to set up a spectacular 22-yard catch by Picerno in double coverage to cut the lead to 10-7.
The fourth quarter went back and forth as Lycoming tried to grind out the clock, and LVC re-took possession with 31 seconds left with a chance to tie or win. Zarilla hit Picerno for 28 yards across midfield on first down, but four shots to the end zone fell incomplete, with Kody Flail busting up two passes and Corey Schuster batting it down to end it.
LVC visits Wilkes next Saturday.
Game Notes
Approximately four inches of snow had fallen by the end of the game, causing multiple power outages during the course of the afternoon due to downed trees in the area ... Lycoming dominated the time of possession 37:25 to 22:35 ... Cory Homer led LVC with 13 tackles and a sack, LVC's first in five games ... Kevin Smith had 11 stops, and Wes Rockwell had an excellent game with 10 tackles and a hurry ... Marascio was a beast for Lycoming with eight tackles - five for a loss - with the fumble force and recovery and a sack ... Zarilla had an adventurous day punting, having to pick up two bad snaps and barely getting the kick off, and also booming two other punts including a 43-yarder that stuck and died in the snow at the Lycoming 1 ... Klinger was 0-for-3 on pass attempts ... Picerno had three catches and Yahya McIntyre had the other for LVC ... The last time Lebanon Valley played in a snow game, it was at Lycoming, in 1988 ... Lebanon Valley's players wore pink armbands and shoelaces in support Breast Cancer Awareness month ... Several snowmen were in attendance among a sparse crowd of hearty fans.
