Healthy Sandwich Recipes
Cucumber Tea Sandwiches
Cucumber sandwiches are the most delicious, easiest finger foods to make. All you need is sliced white bread, butter and of course, cucumbers. To enhance the flavor, I also spread a thin layer of parsley and garlic chive cream cheese spread.
We hosted a pool party today for Lya (my 13-year-old sis-in-law) and her classmates. I think everyone had fun, splashing in the water, chatting and reuniting right before school starts. They all seemed very hungry after swimming and the little cucumber sandwiches and other finger foods went fast!
Full Recipe...
Cheese Sandwiches with White Kidney Beans
I always tell the girls that the most important ingredient for cooking is TLC. Making cheese sandwiches is no exception. There must be several layers that bind together properly for the sandwich to be a success. For this version (made for a picnic during our recent trip to Ashland), I had fresh strawberries left-over. So I blended the fruits into a purée and mixed it with cream cheese, sun dried-tomatoes and chives. I spread the strawberry cream cheese into cheese Kaiser rolls and topped it with cannellini salad, which provides the protein for the vegetarians in my family.
If you too are planning picnics with your family before school starts again, give this easy recipe a try. And if you're looking for back to school ideas for your children, this recipe might be it!

Turkey and Cheese Sandwich Recipe
Since I arrived in America 5 years ago, I've been searching for the best deli-sliced turkey and I think I've found my favorite one of all. My little munchkin is home from school until next week as she will attend summer school. She only eats turkey and cheese sandwiches, so that's what we had today for lunch, with a pack of potato chips.
I think I've spoiled her a little too much, as she prefers hot turkey sandwiches so the cheese is melted. For today's turkey sandwich, I made a Mornay sauce, which is a white sauce made of flour, butter, mustard and milk. I also add a pinch of nutmeg to enhance the flavor. I smothered the bread with the sauce, stacked many layers of greens adn the turkey slices and voilà, lunch was ready.
For the vegetarians in the family, I made the exact same version using tofurkey slices. It's the perfect meal when you're in a hurry!
Note: The sandwiches pictured on the left are made with tofurkey and the ones on the right with real turkey slices.

Panini Sandwich Recipe (Grilled Cheese and Spinach Panini)
If not made properly, paninis can turn soggy and unappealing. The key is to choose a dense sandwich bread and apply a thin layer of butter to seal the outside and create a nice crust. The filling is up to you. In general, I like to use layers of different colors. I used a parsley-caper flavored cream cheese, roasted bell peppers, sliced mozzarella, sautéed mushrooms, spinach and sweet basil.
The girls have been wanting to have a picnic for quite some time, but the weather here in Northern California has not been very accommodating. They've also had a craving for paninis, and luckily the weather this Memorial Day weekend has been spectacular, so it was time to scratch their itch. It was also a great opportunity to teach the girls about the art of making sandwiches. I made a pitcher of saffron lemonade to go with the sandwiches, and we all sat out in our vegetable garden and marveled at how much the fruit trees have grown. It's been a wet spring, and the trees look unbelievably healthy. It looks like we're going to have a lot of mulberries and donut peaches in our future!

"Run Like It Matters"
October 11, 2014
The Adventure
Looking for a well-supported run in a spectacular setting with attractions for the whole family? Whether your goal is to run a first ultra, conquer a challenging 50-miler, or set a personal record, the Can Lake 50 is the race for you.
50 Mile - Run one big road loop around the most beautiful Finger Lake in Western New York. The course is mostly flat to rolling roads with several major climbs, including locally-famous Bopple Hill. Click here for a 2-minute YouTube video from the 2011 race.
50K - Run point-to-point over the final 31 miles of the 50 Mile route. With significantly less climbing and descending than the first 19 miles of the 50 Mile route, the 50K is more friendly for first-time ultra runners and a logical step up from the marathon.
Peak fall foliage will create a scenic backdrop for crew, pacers, friends, and family as they accompany you and your fellow ultrarunners along the course to the finish.
After the race, why not extend your stay and explore stunningly beautiful Canandaigua and the Finger Lakes Region? Art galleries, museums, historic sites, boat cruises, winery tours, shopping, and our regionally-famous grape pies are all options for you, your friends, and your family to enjoy.
Pre-Race Dinner - Pre-race dinner and packet pick-up Friday evening in Canandaigua.
Amenities - Eleven well-stocked aid stations featuring GU products. Coffee, juice and donuts at the start. Post-race feast presented by Wegmans. Special support for first-time ultrarunners (96% of first ultra runners have finished over the last six years). Free transportation to the 50K start. All finishers in both races receive a medal -- gold, silver, or bronze -- based on age-graded standards.
Benefiting Serenity House Serenity House in Victor, NY, provides specialized care for the terminally ill, their families and loved ones. Serenity House is a place where residents can gracefully live out the remaining days of their lives. It is a place of hope and love where families and friends can learn to cope with their loss.
Some Runner Comments
"Yeah for volunteers! Everything was fantastic… everything from being able to talk to other runners at the dinner on Friday night, to the aid stations perfectly spaced, volunteers shouting to ask what you needed before you even got to the aid stations, the medals, the feast afterward & inviting my entire family to join me! Kudos for a well run race!" -- Corrine Haynes, 9:14:53 for 50 miles
"Who would have ever thought that a road ultra would be unique and rare compared to trail counterparts? But this makes a wonderful entry for many with nearly unlimited access for crews and family to support runners and a surface which all can specifically train on and prepare for… This year would see the course record not just fall, but be obliterated with a sub-6 hour finish. The real excitement, though, lies within those who are achieving this distance for a first time which this race is proud to help with… After my own finish with a little food and a tiny bit of rest, I was delighted to go back out and run my good friend in for his final 6+ miles." -- Daven Oskvig - 6:33:35 for 50 miles

died May 12, 1970, Stockholm, Swed.
German poet and dramatist who became a poignant spokesperson for the grief and yearnings of her fellow Jews. When, with Shmuel Yosef Agnon, she was awarded the 1966 Nobel Prize for Literature, she observed that Agnon represented Israel whereas I represent the tragedy of the Jewish people.
The daughter of a prosperous manufacturer, Sachs grew up in the fashionable Tiergarten section of Berlin and began writing verse at age 17. Romantic and conventional, her poems of the 1920s appeared in newspapers but were mainly for her own enjoyment.
As the advent of Nazism in Germany darkened her life, she sought comfort in ancient Jewish writings. In 1940, after learning that she was destined for a forced-labour camp, she escaped to Sweden with the help of the Swedish novelist Selma Lagerlöf, with whom she had corresponded and who interceded with the Swedish royal family on her behalf. Sachs lived with her mother in a one-room apartment, learned Swedish, and translated German poetry into Swedish and Swedish poetry into German.
Sachs's lyrics from those years combine lean simplicity with imagery variously tender, searing, or mystical. Her famous O die Schornsteine (O the Chimneys), in which Israel's body drifts upward as smoke from the Nazi death camps, was selected as the title poem for a 1967 collection of her work in English translation. Another collection in English translation, The Seeker, and Other Poems, was published in 1970.
Her best-known play is Eli: Ein Mysterienspiel vom Leiden Israels (1951; Eli: A Mystery Play of the Sufferings of Israel, included in the O the Chimneys collection). Before she won the Nobel Prize on her 75th birthday, she received the 1965 Peace Prize of German Publishers. In accepting the award from the land she had fled, she said (in the spirit of concord and forgiveness that are among the themes in her poems), In spite of all the horrors of the past, I believe in you.

Thomas Keller's Cheesy BLT Fried Egg Sandwich
A Tasty Way to Start the (New Year) Day
Last week, I woke up (no surprises here) slightly hungover. It seems I had played one three too many rounds of beer pong. As I lay in bed, my head pounding, I suddenly realized I was in the best place in the world to be hungover: my parents' house — where the fridge was always stocked!
Sure enough there was bacon, eggs, an assortment of cheese, and bread. It was time to make the ultimate breakfast sandwich — Thomas Keller's cheesy BLT with a fried egg. You may recognize this sandwich from the movie Spanglish. And if you've never made it, treat yourself to one today (especially if you are hungover!).
The combination of crisp bacon, oozing yolk, and melted cheese is scrumptiously sublime. The sandwich features simple ingredients in a magnificent way that is balanced in both taste and texture. Although it's extremely messy to eat, the dish is surprisingly hearty and beyond delicious. To check out this egg-cellent sandwich, read more.

It's been a while since the last post, been doing some internships, but I'm still trying
to figure out where to go with my art, some things never change
Here's some stuff from my blog, the only place I didn't neglect shamefully over the last year:
screencap study:
I have to say that I have no advice to give to you due to your incredible skills. It would be quite inane and unnecessary.

The one thing I notice is an issue I've had and still have trouble with. Which is I notice a lot of low opacity strokes over top one another. When you want to get the values in first and set in then blend slightly. Otherwise it muddies up the color a bit.
Still looking good though, keep it up.
@Fighting Seraph
Thank you for the kind words! There's still so much to figure out, but I'm glad you like it ^^
Your totally right, thanks for pointing that out. I noticed the muddy colors, but didn't really know where it was coming from.
I'll try to get the values right in the beginning and then start with the blending. Thanks for the advice!
most of the stuff I do at the moment is in bw, to get some values down

Lovely style for a lovely skb! I enjoyed scrolling through it - your char concepts are really cool!
Hope to see more!
I'll be here with the Daggers for the rest of my art journey.
Keep pushing people, let us be great together-!
love your work.. alot actually.. your pencil sketches are solid and inspirational. I love your digital stuff.. all of it.

So you have the same song stuck in your head while you read this as I have in my head while writing it, let me just say this, "Black and yellow… Black and yellow… Black and yellow…" At least I didn't say, "I whip my hair back and forth," because that's much worse. Or anything by Ke$ha. You know what the dollar sign stands for in the middle of her name? The money you have to pay me to listen to her. When I looked at Ryan Zimmerman back in September, I said, "Seems like Zimmerman's career is following the two steps forward, one step back Electric Slide approach. In fairness, it was due to some thigh tightness in April and missing the last two weeks that caused Zimmerman to fall just short of projections. I have to say, for a top guy, he kinda bored me for stretches. Particularly, the 2 homer, .245 month of June and a zero homer month of September." And that's me recapping the recap! That didn't sound like a huge endorsement, but he was also 25-years-old for the majority of 2010 and he was still a top five 3rd baseman. A position that is hella shallow in 2011. So what do I think Ryan Zimmerman can do in 2011 and what makes him a fantasy baseball keeper?
Please, blog, may I have some more?2011 Fantasy Baseball Keepers
For all major league starters named Francisco Liriano and not named Francisco Liriano, he only ranked 37th overall in ERA, behind Anibal Sanchez, Chad Billingsley and The Wandwagon. Liriano only won 14 games, which ranked 25th overall, tied with Jon Garland, Lackey and Brett Myers, amongst other yawnstipating names. So on first glance, you may not realize how good he was last year. He had the fifth best K/9 for major league starters last year. Above him, Lincecum, Lester, Yovani and Filthy Sanchez. Of those five, guess which one had the best xFIP at 3.06. Go ahead, I'll wait. *taps finger, scratches head, flosses* It was Liriano! C'mon, that was a gimme. Okay, of those five, who had the best BB/9? *takes out garbage, wipes dandruff off shoulder, uses dandruff to add ambiance to fake Christmas tree* It was Liriano again! Now for the next fifteen minutes, I'm also going to throw in that Francisco Liriano was drafted on average around 200th overall. That alone makes him a keeper for 2011 fantasy baseball but let's see what we can expect from him in 2011 fantasy baseball?
Please, blog, may I have some more?David Price is the favorite player for Tampa-area Jews until they promote Ben L'Chaim from Double-A. They like to invite Price to mahjong games then haggle over him. All true. Oy. Last year, David Price raised his K-rate, lowered his walk rate, knocked a run and a half off his ERA and won nineteen games. You say it's him showing his maturity, I say it's due to him bending his cap just slightly to avoid the fate of other flat-billed pitchypusses. Luckily, Price didn't win the Cy Young. That would've sent Keith Law into a shame-the-BBWAA spiral like no one had ever seen before. I will draw a mustache on your picture, Mr.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I'm taking a break from telling you some obvious guys are keepers (Joey Votto is a keeper?! Get outta town, Grey!) to tell you Jhoulys Chacin is a keeper in some leagues. No, he's not a keeper in 12 team mixed leagues if you're choosing between him and Halladay (unless Halladay will cost you $75). At some point in January, I'm going to quote this article telling you how much I like Chacin in redraft leagues. Sleeper, anyone? At some point in March, I'll probably post one of my teams and you'll see Chacin on there. Not to mention, I have Chacin already on a keeper team of mine, so I'm pot committed. Yes, I'm holding Yo-lease tight. In his 2010 — rookie!
Please, blog, may I have some more?This will probably be the last time you hear me talk positively about Carlos Gonzalez. He's going to be overrated next year. (Well, that positive stuff was short-lived.) There's no way around it. But, for one last time, let's live in the moment and assume you drafted him around the 10th round last year. That makes him some kinda keeper because he's not going that late in 2011 fantasy baseball. Shoot, he may not see the 2nd round. You could probably trade CarGo right now for, say, Prince Fielder and sex with your leaguemates' wife. It's Indecent Proposal with….
Please, blog, may I have some more?I sit in a circle of a overweight men. One guy's nervously tapping his foot, waiting to go for a cigarette break. Another guy is downing doughnuts like there's no "ugh" in them. We all, obviously, have mustaches. Everyone but me wears a Mets hat. The guy next to me finishes his story about how K-Rod's father-in-law used to come into his pupuseria and hook him up with free tickets. He breaks down rambling about how he can't drive past a Howard Johnson without sobbing. It's my turn to speak. Getting out from under that cloud of Minayal is a good start for the Mets, but — and here I try to be gentle — I tell them I'm not a Mets fan. One of the guys interjects, "I have an idear, let me smash you in your melon, you fargin' icehole." Before one the "sanitation" guys can move in on me, I tell them about how much I like Jose Reyes for 2011 fantasy baseball.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Travis Snider hit .155 in April and nearly lost his starting job. Where the OBP was solid in the minors, it abandoned him. Nothing was working. Then in May, he turned things around hitting .378. Gaston giveth time, Snider giveth power and OBP until he hurt his wrist and went to the 15-day DL for 62 days. Wrist injuries can be tricky things. Maybe when he returned in August with little power he was still nursing it? Maybe his power didn't really return until the last week of the season when he hit four homers in 6 games? Maybe Green Day's been singing the same two songs for the last fifteen years, one fast and one slow? I do not have the answers to these questions. I'd like to think all three are answered in the affirmative. So why is Travis Snider a 2011 fantasy baseball keeper?

Andrew Lincoln talks drama at the Envelope Emmy Roundtable. (Kirk McKoy / Los Angeles Times / April 30, 2013) |
Judging from his character Rick Grimes' understated cowboy-like swagger on "The Walking Dead," it's hard to imagine British actor Andrew Lincoln being nervous.
WATCH: The Envelope Emmy Roundtable | Drama
That was one of a few revelations Lincoln shared during a recent Envelope Emmy Roundtable featuring four other top dramatic television actors: Elisabeth Moss of "Mad Men," Connie Britton of "Nashville," Bryan Cranston of "Breaking Bad" and Kevin Bacon of "The Following."
Lincoln's first order of business in joining "The Walking Dead" was mastering an American accent. "If you're going to have the honor of leading or being involved in playing quite an iconic sort of American role, I wanted to get that bit out of the way before the zombies — so I could focus on killing them," he said.
He also explained what initially drew him to the show: "When I read the pilot episode, I realized what they wanted to do with it. I thought, 'This is the most extraordinary way to sort of distill humanity.' … All it is is just about what it is to be human."

Rate reflects weekly rate.I have stayed here on several occasions,it is only minutes to San Antonio on I35.The have 2 dog runs one for large and one for small.Both runs are great and include agility courses.The sites are gravel and on a slight grade ,some leveling is required. Plenty of space between sites and have a coverd table set on a cement slab. I considered this a great campground

Great write up.
No appeals of the Biogenisis suspensions? Holy crap that's derelict of the MLBPA. Its practically open season now on any player the owners want to castigate.
The MLBPA represents players who lived by the rules as well as the cheaters. Brian monkey said on his show awhile ago that a lot of innocent players are tired of being deemed guilty by association because so many cheaters got off. If this is true (and kenney is as reliable as they come) the MLBPA is actually doing its duty, and kudos to them for not falling into the false assumption that unions should help bad employees get away with breaking rules and poor performance the way most other unions do
monkey=kenney autocomplete on my cellphone hurt me yesterday
It's difficult to remember that we are not the majority of baseball fans. Most fans are casual and as rude as it might sound, don't appreciate the nuances of the games that we do. That being said, I don't know how ANYONE can hate this deal for Boston. I've always thought that all glove-no hit shortstops are overrated and being able to turn that into 1.33 years of a solid mid rotation starter is a good return. I've watched Villarreal pitch a couple of times too and I've always liked what I've seen, despite the control issues.
If Garcia reaches 90% of his potential, this is a disaster for Detroit. Iglesias is solid but they've let go a potential all-star. Scary risk but then again when you want to win bad, you've got to sell more pizza's and take more risks.
The flipside is that if Peralta gets suspended their left infield is Miguel Cabrera and Ramon Santiago/Danny Worth, which is such a defensive black hole it might torpedo their season when they have a shot at the AL pennant or better. Also, there's a realistic shot Garcia never reaches that potential. I'd say it's 50-50 whether he becomes Jesus Montero or Hanley Ramirez.
Also, paired with the possibility that Garcia will reach his potential is the (albeit smaller) possibility that Iglesias will hit well enough to be a serviceable or even good shortstop. Hey, it could happen, and if it does Detroit has at least one excellent defender for the next six years.
This mirrors my thoughts. The hypothetical worth/Santiago middle infield isn't just a defensive black hole but an offensive one as well. Iglesias while a significant downgrade offensively is an equally significant upgrade from the replacement level poster boys they have at ss now. Garcia while a talented prospect is less touted than Cameron maybin at this age and nobody in Detroit is morning his departure. The ugly truth is ny the time Garcia ie ready the teams window will have closed anyway, so better to plug holes now. Still, if fans are determined to whine about losing Garcia like they whined over losing smoltz, the author is right, blame peralta, not DD. Though I would temper even that by pointing out that without the PED usage, his stats would likely resemble last years disappointment rather than this years all star season, and the same fans hating this deal now soul be cheering a replacement for peralta.
"Soul" should be "would"
I agree that the White Sox did pretty well to get salary relief, a good prospect in Avisail Garcia and two hard throwing pitchers (and a light hitting middle infield prospect) for a year and two months of Jake Peavy. And, you know, in the recent past, the White Sox have done well developing hard throwers. It seems to me that Rick Hahn used the existing market forces (i.e., the lack of starting pitching available and the anticpated Biogenisis suspension of Jhonny Peralta) to get the best deal possible for the White Sox. This, I think, is a good start to Hahn's tenure as general manager.

Major Certificate Authorities Unite In The Name Of SSL Security
Comodo, DigiCert, Entrust, GlobalSign, Go Daddy, Symantec, and Trend Micro form Certificate Authority Security Council (CASC)
Amid growing concerns of threats to and the integrity of the certificate authority (CA) infrastructure, the world's biggest CAs have banded together to promote and evolve stronger website security.
"We felt SSL needed a leader," says Jeremy Rowley, associate general counsel for DigiCert, which, along with Comodo, Entrust, GlobalSign, Go Daddy, Symantec, and Trend Micro, today officially launched the new organization. "We felt a group of CAs, rather than one CA," was a better approach, he says.

More >>The first line of business for the new Certificate Authority Security Council (CASC) is to push the adoption of online certificate status protocol (OCSP) stapling for Web server administrators, software vendors, browser makers, and end users. OCSP stapling is a method of revoking invalid or expired digital certificates. It's an enhancement to the OCSP protocol that basically eliminates the need for Web users to check OCSP responses with the CA, and is more efficient because the Web server caches the response from the CA.
"In OCSP stapling, the Web server goes to the CA, gets a response signed by the CA, and keeps it at the Web server. So when the browser goes there in the SSL handshake ... it gets a response right away," says Bruce Morton, director of certificate services for Entrust. "There's less latency to users of that site. It's a performance enhancement a lot of users are looking for."
CASC plans to serve as a research, security advocacy, and education organization for the SSL CA world, its founders say. It plans to support the work of the CA/Browser Forum and other standards bodies, and to help develop enhancements to SSL and the security and operation of the CA process.
"CASC is not a standards body. Instead, we will work on helping people understand the critical polices on SSL and ... promote best practices in advancing the trust of CA operations," DigiCert's Rowley says. "Our main goal is to be an authoritative resource on SSL."
The organization also hopes to stem the problem of improperly configured SSL certificates on Web servers that has been spotlighted by the Qualys SSL Labs project, headed up by Qualys director of engineering Ivan Ristic.
"One of the things we're already talking about are some websites out there are improperly configuring SSL certs on their server," Rowley says. "So some of the things we are going to be releasing are documents to help with that."

text: Chapter 5. RadarSection 1. General5-1-1. PRESENTATION AND EQUIPMENT PERFORMANCE Provide radar service only if you are personally satisfied that the radar presentation and equipment performance is adequate for the service being provided. NOTE- 5-1-2. ALIGNMENT ACCURACY CHECK During relief briefing, or as soon as possible after assuming responsibility for a control position, check the operating equipment for alignment accuracy and display acceptability. Recheck periodically throughout the watch. REFERENCE- TERMINAL a. Check the alignment of the radar video display by assuring that the video/digital map or overlay is properly aligned with a permanent target of known range and azimuth on the radar display. Where possible, check one permanent target per quadrant. b. Accuracy of the radar video display must be verified for digitized radar systems by using the moving target indicator (MTI) reflectors, fixed location beacon transponders (Parrots), beacon real-time quality control (RTQC) symbols or calibration performance monitor equipment (CPME) beacon targets. REFERENCE- c. In Digital Terminal Automation Systems (DTAS) conducts continuous self-monitoring of alignment accuracy; therefore, controller alignment checks are not required. EN ROUTE d. Radar Data Processing (RDP) alignment checking is accomplished by the operational program as part of the certification procedures for system startup and then on a real-time basis during operational hours. e. Ensure the situation display center and altitude limits for the system are appropriate for the operating position. REFERENCE- 5-1-3. RADAR USE Use radar information derived from primary and secondary radar systems. REFERENCE- a. Secondary radar may be used as the sole display source as follows: 1. In Class A airspace. REFERENCE- 2. Outside Class A airspace, or where mix of Class A airspace/non-Class A airspace exists, only when: (a) Additional coverage is provided by secondary radar beyond that of the primary radar, or (b) The primary radar is temporarily unusable or out of service. Advise pilots when these conditions exist, or PHRASEOLOGY- NOTE- 2. This provision is to authorize secondary radar only operations where there is no primary radar available and the condition is temporary. (c) A secondary radar system is the only source of radar data for the area of service. When the system is used for separation, beacon range accuracy is assured, as provided in para 5-1-4, Beacon Range Accuracy. TERMINAL. Advise pilots when these conditions exist. NOTE- b. TERMINAL. Do not use secondary radar only to conduct surveillance (ASR) final approaches unless an emergency exists and the pilot concurs. 5-1-4. BEACON RANGE ACCURACY a. You may use beacon targets for separation purposes if beacon range accuracy is verified by one of the following methods: NOTE- 2. Narrowband and Full Digital Automation Systems: Technical operations personnel verify beacon range accuracy for automated narrowband display equipment and Full Digital Terminal Automation Systems. Consequently, further verification by the controller is unnecessary. 1. Correlate beacon and primary targets of the same aircraft (not necessarily the one being provided separation) to assure that they coincide. 2. When beacon and primary targets of the same aircraft do not coincide, correlate them to assure that any beacon displacement agrees with the specified distance and direction for that particular radar system. 3. Refer to beacon range monitoring equipment where so installed. b. If beacon range accuracy cannot be verified, you may use beacon targets only for traffic information. REFERENCE- 5-1-5. ELECTRONIC ATTACK (EA) ACTIVITY a. Refer all EA activity requests to the appropriate center supervisor. REFERENCE- NOTE- b. When EA activity interferes with the operational use of radar: 1. EN ROUTE. Request the responsible military unit or aircraft, if initial request was received directly from pilot, to suspend the activity. 2. TERMINAL. Request suspension of the activity through the ARTCC. If immediate cessation of the activity is required, broadcast the request directly to the EA aircraft on the emergency frequency. Notify the ARTCC of direct broadcast as soon as possible. c. When previously suspended activity will no longer interfere: 1. EN ROUTE. Inform the NORAD unit or aircraft that it may be resumed. 2. TERMINAL. Inform the ARTCC or aircraft that it may be resumed. Obtain approval from the ARTCC prior to broadcasting a resume clearance directly to the aircraft. d. In each stop request, include your facility name, type of EA activity (chaff dispensing- "stream"/"burst" or electronic jamming- "buzzer"), radar band affected and, when feasible, expected duration of suspension. PHRASEOLOGY- 5-1-6. SERVICE LIMITATIONS a. When radar mapping is not available, limit radar services to: 1. Separating identified aircraft targets. 2. Vectoring aircraft to intercept a PAR final approach course. 3. Providing radar service in areas that ensure no confliction with traffic on airways, other ATC areas of jurisdiction, restricted or prohibited areas, terrain, etc. b. EN ROUTE. When the position symbol associated with the full data block falls more than one history behind the actual aircraft target or there is no target symbol displayed, the Mode C information in the full data block must not be used for the purpose of determining separation. c. Report radar malfunctions immediately for corrective action and for dispatch of a Notice to Airmen. Advise adjacent ATC facilities when appropriate. REFERENCE- 5-1-7. ELECTRONIC CURSOR TERMINAL a. An electronic cursor may be used to aid in identifying and vectoring an aircraft and to give finer delineation to a video map. Do not use it as a substitute for a video map or map overlay; e.g., to form intersections, airway boundaries, final approach courses, etc. b. Fixed electronic cursors may be used to form the final approach course for surveillance approaches conducted by military operated mobile radar facilities. 5-1-8. MERGING TARGET PROCEDURES a. Except while they are established in a holding pattern, apply merging target procedures to all radar identified: 1. Aircraft at 10,000 feet and above. 2. Turbojet aircraft regardless of altitude. REFERENCE- 3. Presidential aircraft regardless of altitude. b. Issue traffic information to those aircraft listed in subpara a whose targets appear likely to merge unless the aircraft are separated by more than the appropriate vertical separation minima. EXAMPLE- c. When both aircraft in subpara b are in RVSM airspace, and vertically separated by 1,000 feet, if either pilot reports they are unable to maintain RVSM due to turbulence or mountain wave, vector either aircraft to avoid merging with the target of the other aircraft. EXAMPLE- d. If the pilot requests, vector his/her aircraft to avoid merging with the target of previously issued traffic. NOTE- e. If unable to provide vector service, inform the pilot. NOTE- 5-1-9. HOLDING PATTERN SURVEILLANCE Provide radar surveillance of outer fix holding pattern airspace areas, or any portions thereof, shown on your radar scope (displayed on the video map or scribed on the map overlay) whenever aircraft are holding there. Attempt to detect any aircraft that stray outside the area. If you detect an aircraft straying outside the area, assist it to return to the assigned airspace. 5-1-10. DEVIATION ADVISORIES Inform an aircraft when it is observed in a position and on a track which will obviously cause the aircraft to deviate from its protected airspace area. If necessary, assist the aircraft to return to the assigned protected airspace. REFERENCE- 5-1-11. RADAR FIX POSTING EN ROUTE A controller is required to manually record at least once the observed or reported time over a fix for each controlled aircraft in their sector of responsibility only when the flight progress recording components of the EAS FDP are not operational. REFERENCE- 5-1-12. POSITION REPORTING If necessary, you may request an aircraft to provide an estimate or report over a specific fix. After an aircraft receives the statement "radar contact" from ATC, it discontinues reporting over compulsory reporting points. It resumes normal position reporting when ATC informs it "radar contact lost" or "radar service terminated." REFERENCE- a. When required, inform an aircraft of its position with respect to a fix or airway. PHRASEOLOGY- 5-1-13. RADAR SERVICE TERMINATION a. Inform aircraft when radar service is terminated. PHRASEOLOGY- b. Radar service is automatically terminated and the aircraft needs not be advised of termination when: NOTE- 2. Termination of radar monitoring where PAR equipment is used to monitor approaches is prescribed in para 5-13-3, Monitor Information. 1. An aircraft cancels its IFR flight plan, except within Class B airspace, Class C airspace, TRSA, or where basic radar service is provided. 2. An aircraft conducting an instrument, visual, or contact approach has landed or has been instructed to change to advisory frequency. 3. At tower-controlled airports where radar coverage does not exist to within 1/2 mile of the end of the runway, arriving aircraft must be informed when radar service is terminated. REFERENCE- 4. TERMINAL. An arriving VFR aircraft receiving radar service to a tower-controlled airport within Class B airspace, Class C airspace, TRSA, or where basic radar service is provided has landed, or to all other airports, is instructed to change to tower or advisory frequency. 5. TERMINAL. An aircraft completes a radar approach. REFERENCE- |

Gay Nigger Association of America
Abbreviation | GNAA |
Formation | 2002[1] |
Type | Internet trolls |
Purpose/focus | "being GAY NIGGERS"[2] |
Headquarters | Tarzana, Los Angeles[1] |
Membership | "The only requirement for membership is a dedication to the struggle of gays and niggers everywhere."[2] |
Affiliations | Goatse Security[3][4][5] |
Website | www.gnaa.eu (GNAA Official Website) |
The Gay Nigger Association of America (GNAA) is an anti-blogging Internet-trolling organization. They have trolled several prominent websites and Internet personalities including Slashdot, Wikipedia, CNN, Barack Obama's campaign website, Alex Jones, and prominent members of the blogosphere. They have also released software products and leaked screenshots and information about upcoming operating systems. In addition, they maintain a wiki-based site dedicated to Internet commentary[6] and a software repository.[7]
Members of the GNAA also founded Goatse Security, a grey hat information security group. Members of Goatse Security released information in June 2010 about email addresses on AT&T's website from people who had subscribed to mobile data service using the iPad. After the vulnerability was disclosed, the then-president of the GNAA, weev, and GNAA member "JacksonBrown" were arrested.[8]
Origins, known members and name
The group is run by a president,[5] but little else is known about its internal structure. New media researcher Andrew Lih has stated that it is unclear whether or not there was initially a clearly defined group of GNAA members, or if founding and early members of the GNAA were online troublemakers united under the name in order to disrupt websites.[9] However, professor Jodi Dean and MIT graduate Ross Cisneros state that they are an organized group of anti-blogging trolls.[6][10] Reporters also refer to the GNAA as a group.[11][12][13]
The former president of the GNAA, known as "timecop", is known for founding the anime fansub group "Dattebayo". Other members include former president Andrew "weev" Auernheimer, Daniel "JacksonBrown" Spitler,[8][14] former Debian project head Sam Hocevar,[5] and former spokesman Leon Kaiser.[15]
The group's name has been controversial, having been described as causing "immediate alarm in anyone with a semblance of good taste", and as being "intentionally offensive",[9] and "spectacularly offensive".[11] The group denies allegations of racism and homophobia, explaining that the name is intended to sow disruption on the Internet and challenge social norms, claiming it was derived from the 1992 Danish satirical blaxploitation film Gayniggers from Outer Space.[6]
The GNAA has used many different methods of trolling. One method involves flooding a weblog's comment form with text consisting of repeated words and phrases, referred to as "crapflooding".[note 1][6][11] On Wikipedia, members of the group created an article about the group, while still adhering to Wikipedia's rules and policies; a process Andrew Lih says was "essentially using the system against itself."[9] Another method includes attacking many Internet Relay Chat channels and networks using different IRC flooding techniques.[16]
The GNAA has also produced shock sites containing malware.[6][17] One such site, "Last Measure", contains embedded malware that opens up "an endless cascade of pop-up windows displaying pornography or horrific medical pictures."[17][18] They have also performed proof of concept demonstrations.[16][19] These actions have occasionally interrupted the normal operation of popular websites.
In July 2004, two GNAA members submitted leaked screenshots of the upcoming operating system Mac OS X v10.4[20] to the popular Apple Macintosh news website MacRumors, resulting in a post which read "With WWDC just days away, the first Tiger information and screenshots appears to have been leaked. According to sources, Apple will reportedly provide developers with a Mac OS X 10.4 preview copy at WWDC on Monday. The screenshots provided reportedly come from this upcoming developer preview."[21]
In June 2005, the GNAA announced that it had created a Mac OS X Tiger release for Intel x86 processors which caught media attention from various sources.[22][23][24] The next day, the supposed leak was mentioned on the G4 television show Attack of the Show.[25] The ISO image released via BitTorrent merely booted a shock image[25][26] instead of the leaked operating system.[27]
On February 3, 2007, the GNAA successfully managed to convince CNN reporter Paula Zahn that "one in three Americans" believe that the September 11, 2001 terror attacks were carried out by Israeli agents.[28] CNN subsequently ran a story erroneously reporting this, involving a round-table discussion regarding antisemitism and an interview with the father of a Jewish 9/11 victim.[29] The GNAA-owned website said that "over 4,000" Jews were absent from work at the World Trade Center on 9/11.[29]
On February 11, 2007, an attack was launched on the website of US presidential candidate (and future US president) Barack Obama, where the group's name was caused to appear on the website's front page.[30]
In late January 2010 the GNAA used an obscure method, known as cross-protocol scripting (a combination of cross-site scripting and inter-protocol exploitation) to cause users of the freenode IRC network to unknowingly crapflood IRC channels after visiting websites containing inter-protocol exploits.[12] They also have used a combination of inter-protocol, cross-site, and integer overflow bugs in both the Firefox and Safari web browsers to crapflood IRC channels.[13]
In late July 2012 the GNAA created a website titled "linuxforniggers.us" for an African-American targeted Linux-based operating system in development. The site provides a download link for an ISO image which, when booted, presents users with a slideshow of images related to African-American stereotypes.[31]
On October 30, the GNAA began a trolling campaign around the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy on the east coast of America, spreading fake photographs and tweets of alleged looters in action. The British newspaper, the Daily Mail went on to publish the photographs and ran the story, "'Even momma got outta house to loot new shirt': Looters brag on Twitter" without first verifying their sources.[32] Radio host Alex Jones published an exposé of the alleged 'looters'.[33] Later, after the GNAA published a press-release detailing the incident,[34] mainstream media began detailing how the prank was carried out.[35][36]
On December 3, 2012, there was a massive security breach at Tumblr, involving viral video posts and hacking many accounts. The GNAA claimed responsibility for the hack.[37]
In January 2013, the GNAA collaborated with imageboard 4chan to start a "#cut4bieber" trend on Twitter, encouraging fans of pop singer Justin Bieber to practice self-harm.[38][39]
Goatse Security
Several members of the GNAA with expertise in grey hat[40] computer security research began releasing information about several software vulnerabilities under the name "Goatse Security." The group chose to publish their work under a separate name because they thought that they would not be taken seriously.[14]
In June 2010, Goatse Security attracted mainstream media attention for their discovery of at least 114,000 unsecured email addresses[41] registered to Apple iPad devices for early adopters of Apple's 3G iPad service.[4][42] The data was aggregated from AT&T's own servers by feeding a publicly available script with HTTP requests containing randomly generated ICC-IDs, which would then return the associated email address. The FBI soon investigated the incident. This investigation led to the arrest of then-GNAA President,[43] Andrew 'weev' Auernheimer, on unrelated drug charges[44] resulting from an FBI search of his home.[14][45]
In January 2011 the Department of Justice announced that Auernheimer will be charged with one count of conspiracy to access a computer without authorization and one count of fraud.[46] A co-defendant, Daniel Spitler, was released on bail.[47][48]
In June 2011, Spitler pled guilty on both counts after reaching a plea agreement with US attorneys.[49]
On November 20, 2012, Auernheimer was found guilty of one count of identity fraud and one count of conspiracy to access a computer without authorization.[50]

Apply Mortar
Mix up a wet mortar mix of four parts sand (half-and-half sharp sand and builder's sand) to one part cement, or use a prepared mix. Place a trowel-full in the corners and in the center of a paving stone square.
Bed In Paving Stones
Position the paving stone on the mortar and use the wooden end of a mallet to gently tap it into place. Check that it's level. Mortar in each stone the same way and leave them to set for a day or two.
Plant Up
Fill between the paving stone with topsoil and plant up the herbs or turf. If using turf, lay it slightly above the paving stones so you can run a mower over the whole area. Water in. Keep plants watered until they're established.

Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas tied a career high with nine catches and topped the 100-yard mark for the sixth game of the season on Sunday.
The Broncos won their 10th straight game to match the second-longest win streak in franchise history with their 34-12 win against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Linebacker Von Miller finished Sunday's win with 1.5 sacks to increase his season total to a Broncos-record 17.5.
During the Broncos' last nine games, opponents have converted just 21-of-112 third-down attempts (18.8 pct.). That figure is best in the NFL with the next closest team, the New York Jets, nearly 10 percentage points behind (31-of-113, 27.4 pct.).
Wide receiver Eric Decker caught a pair of touchdowns against Cleveland to give him 11 on the season and 19 over the past two years. That total ties the Broncos' record for receiving scores in a two-year span. Decker's 11 touchdowns are tied for third-most in the league this year.
Tight end Jacob Tamme's 36-yard catch in the second quarter and 33-yard catch in the third represent the two longest plays of his career.
Tight end Joel Dreessen established a new single-season career high with his 37th catch of the season in Sunday's win.
Quarterback Peyton Manning threw for three scores against the Browns to tie Brett Favre for the most games with at least three touchdown passes in NFL history.
Sunday's win vs. Cleveland marked the 99th overall career win as a head coach for John Fox.
Running back Knowshon Moreno finished with 127 yards from scrimmage (78 rushing / 49 receiving), topping the 100-scrimmage-yard mark for the fourth time in his five starts this season.
The Broncos have outscored opponents by 144 points in the second half this year to represent the second-highest figure since the 1970 NFL merger, and the best since Green Bay (+170) in 1996. Denver owns a 282-138 advantage in the second half this season.

- 33Jan 30, '13 by VivaLasViejas GuideLose the "customer-service" approach once and for all. This isn't Disneyland, for Pete's sake! Get Press-Gainey out of the hospitals and clinics, and let nurses get back to doing what we do best: patient care.
- 10Jan 30, '13 by SoldierNurse22I wish we could target treatment at actual patient issues instead of scrambling to cover our 5th point of contact "in case someone sues" at all times. The overkill can be nauseating and combined with Viva's point about the "customer service" approach, it's downright ridiculous.
- 14Jan 30, '13 by NurseDirtyBirdI would like the ability to say, "no." As in, "No, I will not call the doctor and ask him to give you Dilaudid for your sprained ankle." "No, you do not get all the pillows in the facility to yourself." "No, we will not be doing CPR on your 97 year old grandmother with terminal cancer." "No, I will not bring you a second breakfast. Just because it's a diabetic meal doesn't mean you can have as much as you want."
I suppose this fits under the "Customer Service" post of Viva's. - 1Jan 31, '13 by PolaBarI'd really like an updated system so I could see, online, somewhere in the patient's profile, the "likely time" procedures would be done on a patient. I hate when a patient is NPO for breakfast and lunch, and no info to give them (unless I make a few time consuming phone calls). Even if it would be something like "patient 7 of 9 on list, likely time y:zz". We used to see the dialysis scheduled times before our hospital outsourced dialysis (now the inpatients don't get any meals or medications during dialysis).SoldierNurse22 likes this.

That means they are ready to learnLast edit by NutmeggeRN on Jan 31, '13 : Reason: Forgot a few words - 9Jan 31, '13 by imintroubleIt's all so broken, any change would be an improvement.
First and foremost stop promoting the idea that patients are VIPs whose every wish and desire is available at the snap of their fingers or a ring of the bell. - 2Jan 31, '13 by rdnkmomThinking that a pt has this right or that right, even if it means it's clearly not in their best interest or unjustly minimizes what we do or offends us in some way just so the hosp doesn't get sued. I work in a rehab/mental facility and the one think I hate is that there is a phone on each unit for the pts to use when ever they want. If they are there for rehab and to change the way they think, wouldn't it be wise to earn the privilege to use the phone instead of calling your "supplier" everyday to let them know how you're doing? I am constantly yelled at, cursed at and treated horribly. Sometimes I do tell the pt, "I am not disrespecting you; so, if you want something from me I expect the same in return" Just so tired of hospitals thinking the pt is "right" and we are to do what ever they want. Sometimes saying NO is the best thing.aknottedyarn and ktlpn12 like this.

1. These are the amazing pictures of Joanne Jackson, 40, who was diagnosed with breast cancer last June and had a mastectomy. The images have been branded akin to "pornography and graphic sexual content." by the social networking site Facebook.
