Stampin' Up! a Christmas card nice and early
- on 08.22.13
- Christmas cards, Stampin Up!
- 3 Comments
Stampin' Up! Australia are releasing their new Christmas catalogue in just a over a week. I've already been having fun with some of these new Christmas goodies so I thought I'd give you a sneak peek and share a card that I made with a stamp set called 'Calm Christmas' from that catalogue.
It seems to have turned out okay right? Oh if only you knew the comedy of errors that happened while I was making this card. I almost gave up. Crazy really as it's an easy card but it was just my clumsiness and d'oh! moments that messed it up.
Here's how I made this card (with some mess ups thrown in to show you how not to do it): I wanted to turn
my Naturals Composition paper into a red background so I brayered some Cherry Cobbler ink onto it. To do this just roll the brayer over the inkpad several times making sure that you're going in the same direction each time so you ink up around the whole brayer. Then roll it back and forth over the cardstock. Finish off by polishing up the cardstock with a tissue to take off the excess ink. That took only a minute and was so easy. Design tip: to make it look finished, I sponged more ink around the edges of the cardstock. You can see it on the finished card in the second photo, I think it does make a difference.
The dove was stamped in Encore Gold ink then I cut around the bird. Again, to finish it off I sponged ink around the edges of the card, this time I lightly sponged it with Crumb Cake ink and then for some reason I decided to go around the edge of the bird with my Crumb Cake marker. That's where I stuffed up! Finished the bird, was admiring it and OMG an accidental flick of the marker on the tail of the bird and I was left with a line that there was no covering up. Now my theory is that I can always fix something with a ribbon or embellishment. But what can I put on the tail of a bird? I tried tying a ribbon around it and it just looked ridiculous plus it didn't cover the whole marker line. I mucked around with it for a while and found that I could make a little bow to stick on the bottom and there you go, covered it all up fine. Of course that looked a little odd on it's own so I added the same ribbon on the base of the card to make the bow look more grounded and like a feature that was always meant to be there.
Phew! Next for that odd looking branch. Just didn't look right being all the same colour as the bird. Why didn't I do something with that before? I could have used a marker to colour it in differently. Oh no, I'm not trusting myself with a marker again… I'll get out some glue and glitter. Genius! Of course it wasn't genius at all. I used Tombow glue which I applied quite thickly then glass glitter which was really chunky and not for something so delicate. Yep – a big mess. OMG now what??? It's not quite dry yet so let's scrape off all the glitter and glue with a pointy thing. Yeah, another genius idea… totally ripped the branch. In the end I picked off the whole branch, punched out an identical branch using the Builder Bird punch from the Champagne Glimmer Paper and WOOOHOOO!!!! It's perfect!
Moral of the story: however you mess up a card you can always fix it with some ribbon and embellishments.

I'm happy to know that I'm not the only person who messes up! Your solution was perfect and this is a very pretty card. Cherry Cobbler is my favorite Stampin' Up color.
Thanks Anna
Hi Angela, now if you had not regaled us with the comedy of errors we would never have known that this beautiful card was anything but perfect. I love how you shared your tale, just goes to show that stuff ups can be the mother of invention so to speak. Lovely card and colour choice. Have a great weekend. Cheers Donna Z

The QT113 is a capacitive touch sensor that operates like a switch.
Here are the parts you will need:
The QT113 is a touch sensor. From the pin labeled OUT, the QT113 sends a digital HIGH when a touch is detected and a digital LOW when there is none. The OUT pin is connected to an input pin on a microprocessor.
The SENS pin is the input. For testing, a simple wire can be used on this pin. Later when the application is fully realized, Other materials can be used. Copper mesh, metal plates, and conductive fabric are examples. Just about aby conductive material connected to the SENS pin will become part of the sensor.
there are two OPT pins OPT1 and OPT2. These option pins, when set to a combination of power and ground, determine the behavior of the output signal.
The following chart described the behavior of the sensor. The MAX on duration refers to the amount of time the sensor stays active once touched
The GAIN pin sets the sensitivity with a digital HIGH or LOW depending on preference.
In examining the board, notice the pads labeled CX. This is for a .1uf ceramic disk capacitor. The capacitor can be switched with other values depending on your situation. The more capacitance, the more sensitive it will be. We are using female headers here. They are acting as a socket so that we can swap out capacitors.

First, finding products or services on the internet is no problem as there are thousands of choices everywhere. Finding the Right products with a successful company and a proven track record can be a horse of a different color.
Before we can start the search and selection process, it is important that we go back to the basics and make some plans. Why? Just think about it. How will you know what you have found, if you do not know what you are looking for. In other words, Plan your work and Work your plan. Whether you are just starting or an experienced marketer, it is imperative that you build from a solid foundation. If you have been working online and it is just not panning out, you may want to do yourself a favor, and go back to the basics for a fresh start.
Choose products that people use on a daily basis. Also, choose items that interest you. It will make your work a lot more pleasant and prospects will sense that you know what you are talking about. If you will offer services, you will want those that are essential in normal day-to-day living. Again, stay focused on your plan as you can always add the bells, whistles, and luxury items later.
Be aware of your prices. They cannot be absurd or way out of line, but, they need not be as competitive is your traditional brick and mortar store. Keep in mind that internet shopping is all about convenience. (No lines, no crowds, no parking problems, and no to and from expense)
When making your selections for consumer use, do not forget the B2B (business to business) market. Other online marketers are always looking for additions that are presented well and catch the eye. (Traffic Exchanges)
Nutrition and Wellness products are well received both online and in traditional trading places. These products gained significant public appeal with the Cost of Prevention Versus Medical Treatment and/or Correction. Medical treatment is always inconvenient and many times very painful, not to mention the cost. Nutrition and Wellness is expected to be a Trillion dollar industry.
With our economy in its present state, informative books such as Credit Repair, Save Your Home, and Debt Reduction will surely catch some eyes. Many of these are available as E-books. Although I have accumulated quite a library over the years,
E-books have lost a lot of impact on the web as a for sale item. This is partly due to their widespread distribution as a sign up bonus or gift. In short, the free versions are generally advertisement based and promoting a product or service.
In summary, Plan your work and Work your plan. Have an idea of where you want to go and write it down before you start as this is your map. You cannot hope to arrive anywhere if you don't know where you are going.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSMan Sentenced In Huntington Shooting Deaths
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Jan. 9, 2014 10:59 AM EST
Updated: Jan. 9, 2014 12:51 PM EST
HUNTINGTON, W.Va (Tiersa Davis) -- A Huntington man has been sentenced for his part in a shooting that left two Detroit men dead.
Rocky Williams, 20, was sentenced Thursday to 40 years for the murder charge and 10 years for the robbery charge. His sentences will run consecutively.
In November 2012, Devonte Penn, 17, and Darrell Fuqua, 22, both of Detroit, were shot at a home on Foster Avenue in Huntington. Fuqua died at the scene, and Penn died later at the hospital.
Another man, Thomas White, 22, of Huntington also was charged in the shooting. White suffered a gunshot wound during the incident, but police believe it was self-inflicted. White's case is pending.

On Five Pedals Deep, rock and classical elements are both present. The driving rhythm and headlong chords in "Peal, Repeal," blossom or erupt into fits of uncontainable melancholic frustration. "The Distance," with a similar brooding sentiment, Tepfer originally composed as part of a piano concerto. With its glacial growth and subtle emotional shifts, it eschews the charms of immediacy and embraces an aesthetic that is more akin to symphonic works.
Despite the wide use of influences that often occupy the space outside of jazz, swing is still present, and the trio uses it as a tool, just as effective as any other, in conveying the dim and agitated emotional atmosphere that cloaks Five Pedals Deep. "Diverge" teases out a buoyant swing, accented with pointed and dissonant melodic gestures. The last piece on the album, a solo rendering of "Body and Soul," uses nostalgic phrasing and elaborations of the melody, although both are immersed in fresh harmonies.

From http://www.phillyburbs.com:
The Sixers are about to sign swingman Rodney Carney to the fourth-year guaranteed minimum of $855,189, which would give them 13 players under contract.
Carney, 25, is expected to compete for minutes at shooting guard/small forward. Andre Iguodala, Thaddeus Young, Willie Green and Jason Kapono are the Sixers' other wing players. He had hoped to receive more than the minimum, but was unable to find a team willing to give it to him in this economy.
The 6-foot-6 Carney, who played his college ball at Memphis, spent his first two pro seasons with the Sixers after they traded No. 13 pick Thabo Sefolosha to the Bulls for the 16th selection (Carney) and a 2007 second-rounder on 2006 draft night. The Sixers dealt Carney and journeyman Calvin Booth -- along with a first-rounder -- to the Timberwolves in a July 9, 2008, salary dump to create enough cap space to enable them to sign free agent Elton Brand to a five-year, $82 million contract.
Last season, the athletic Carney, who made $1,655,760 in 2008-09, averaged a career-high 7.2 points in 17.9 minutes with Minnesota, which declined to pick up his fourth-year option. His career numbers are 6.5 points, 42.8 percent shooting and 34.0 percent from 3-point land in 204 games.
This is disappointing news for the Timberwolves if this is true. He would have really helped us out at the wing and get David Kahn's "run-and-gun" style going. Carney, who improved a lot in Minnesota, is coming back to Philly with his speed, his dunks, and his shot. He is coming off a great season and, if this is true, I'm wishing him good luck with the Sixers.

Number of ratings 32 / Average Grade: B Submit a correction
I have never been more upset while taking a class in my education career. She is a useless teacher. No lesson plan ever, no idea how to teach college level students, & refuses to adapt to today's teaching methods. Avoid any class with her at all costs because she will never give out an A to ANYONE and constantly will make you want to scream. AWFUL
Professor Adams is extremely unorganized, rude, and always puts you on the spot in class. I hate going to her class because it puts me in the worst mood ever. She doesn't know how to teach so she just assigns readings every single night. DONT TAKE HER CLASS
Barb is easily the most disorganized prof that I've ever had. She regularly is late and usually doesn't have a plan. She also tends to give out several assignments but does not give clear due dates or instructions. She is also very nitpicky on correct english use and variety of sentence structure. Never taking a class with her again.
Means well but she's very self-important, stubborn, unable to admit when she's wrong, demands too much, gives hard assignments and is very reluctant to ease up even if the class as a whole is suffering and is nowhere as knowledgeable about magazine writing as she claims
She is very unorganized and a hard grader, but she knows her stuff. She is willing to help, but you have to care and want to try.
Ridiculous in almost every way. Her teaching ability is low and never has a good lesson plan. Also I was bullied by a group of girls(and one boy) in her class and absent minded Barbara completely ignored it. Overall I think I could have made better use of time in the library than it class. Thanks for a bad experience barbs.
Barbara is delightfully enthusiastic about what she does. She knows writing in and out and if you work hard, you will improve dramatically. She pushes students very hard but it's worth it.
It's been 15 years since I took her class: I not only still use the skills she taught me, but also teach them when I tutor writers. Don't underestimate the reach of what she has to say. She's unique, sure: what good writer doesn't have a unique point of view? None that I know of, that's for sure. Appreciate the time you have with her.
I have never taken a journalism type class before. I'm an English major so I'm not used to writing like that. She makes the class interesting but she is so unorganized. She is a tough grader and majority of the time when I would meet with her I wouldn't really understand what I did wrong. However, she does let you rewrite every paper.
this lady is off her rocker.
Feature Writing
She's a great person, and an amazing advisor! Definitely worth the hard work, as you get a lot out of her classes.
feature, critic
probably the most knowledgeable and dedicated...and the most disorganzied and incredibly busy teachers i ever had. i owe a lot to her.
No Comments
affl. writing
No Comments
Critic writing
Again, tough class, lots of assignments (including vocab quizzes and reading the NY Times arts section throughly each week), but you will learn a ton, esp. if you want to do any kind of arts criticism writing.
Barbara is the best writing professor I have ever had at Ithaca. She really gets you to dig deep and find the better story in your writing. Always was able to meet with her when I needed to and go to for advice. I learned a lot in her classes, though it was a lot of work!
Barb is a tough person to please, but if you want an internship or letter of recommendation, she is a good person to have on your side. She was so on top of things for my two internships and was so helpful. I have yet to have her for a class, but I plan to and except her to be pretty rough, but effective.
She doesn't like Sans Serif Fonts and don't you ****ing forget it!
Academic Writin
Horrible Class...avoid professor at all costs
Feature Writing
Whether she knows her stuff or not, she can be very rude and schedules other meetings during her office hours. Meeting with her is impossible. Assignments are pointless and not realistic -- although she will make you think that they are. She wants the world. So don't plan on taking too many credits.

Lawmakers debated a controversial bill Thursday in the State House having to do with criminal records and expungement.
The bill would help clarify how long law enforcement agencies keep your case file if you are cleared of a crime.
Jails already do it. If you are found not guilty or your record is expunged, the facility keeps your case files in case there is future litigation.
A bill in front of a senate committee would give law enforcement agencies that same right, but with a three year time limit. After that, those files including incident reports would have to be destroyed.
"We have some girls missing from down in Myrtle Beach, would you want us to throw those investigative files away after three years?" said Jeff Moore with the SC Sheriff's Association. "I don't think their parents would. I don't think their families would. And we don't want to. That's why we want to retain those files."
The expungement bill is one of a few that lawmakers are considering. They are also looking at whether or not to expand the type of crimes that can be expunged.
Lawmakers say there are a lot of changes that need to be made before it can move on.

Product Announcement from Brentwood Plastics, Inc.
New METSFT metallocene monolayer PE is a deep-draw formable packaging film that offers a cost-saving alternative to formable nylon and multilayer co-extruded films when used in non-barrier applications for frozen food, medical components, electronics, pharmacy mailers and retail shippers. It is ideal for packaging that requires deep-draw thermoforming and dimpled surfaces, providing a high melt strength that makes it more forgiving than PET, PLA and EVOH.
METSFT film runs fast on horizontal form/fill/seal (HFFS) machines, which vacuum form a cavity, drop in product, then seal a top web, saving labor and materials required for high-volume mailers. Rapid hot tack seals in the presence of contaminants, at lower temperatures than PET and similar films. The addition of a tamper-evident feature helps medical device manufacturers reduce exposure to counterfeiting and repackaged part risk.
METSFT is FDA and Kosher approved, and has passed numerous toxicity tests for prolonged and direct human skin contact. It is available in thicknesses of 4 to 13 mils, corona treated for printing with water- or solvent-based inks.

Football: Bashley's takeover talks to continue over the weekend
Updated 6:22pm Friday 14th March 2014 in Sport By Andy Mitchell
CHAIRMAN Mike Cranidge revealed crisis club Bashley could be saved by a three-strong consortium – despite members voting to fold the club last night.
The cash-strapped Southern League strugglers overwhelmingly passed a motion to dissolve the New Forest outfit on April 30 should talks with prospective backers come to nothing.
Twenty of the club's 38 members attended the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) with 18 voting to close at the end of the season unless someone steps into Cranidge's shoes. There were two abstentions.
However, the Bash chief said "positive negotiations" were ongoing with the trio, who have experience of running of a Southern League club, and that he hoped to add the group to the club's committee within a matter of days, subject to successful talks over the weekend.
On the possible takeover, Cranidge, who politely declined to name the interested parties, told the Daily Echo: "If everyone is happy, they will be co-opted into the executive until the end of the season.
"From there, they will have to be formally voted in at the AGM (annual general meeting) in the summer to take up more formal positions.
"We are at a very delicate stage but everything is very positive at the moment. We have two or three commercial sponsors lined up on the premise we can get the executive sorted out."
To aid its short-term future, the club has set up a Just Giving page with a target of £5,000 to help Bash see out the season. So far, £3,233 has been pledged by 44 people.
Cranidge added: "We are very grateful. It is a sign people from our community and the wider football family want us to survive."

Do you know the recent past? Here is a new lesson to use it in French. The recent past is one the fourth French past tenses.
In a previous grammar lesson, you learned how to use the future in French with just the conjugation of verb aller (to go).
Then it is time for you to learn to describe what you just did or an event that just happened. To do that, you will use the recent past.
For instance, you may like to say: I'm going to eat. And after a few minutes, you could say: I just ate. Or generally, you could say I'm going to do something and then I just did something.
Like the use of the near future, the use of the recent past in French is quite easy. You just have to know the conjugation of the verb venir in present tense, then add the French preposition de, and then the verb in the infinitive form.
Here is an example with the verb faire (… just did something):
- Je viens de … (faire quelque chose)
- Tu viens de … (faire quelque chose)
- Il vient de … (faire quelque chose)
- Nous venons de … (faire quelque chose)
- Vous venez de … (faire quelque chose)
- Ils viennent de … (faire quelque chose)
To sum up, recent past: venir (present) + de + verb infinitive.
You can change the verb given in this example, with any action verb that you want to use. Now you know how to use the recent past in French.
In future articles, I will show you how to conjugate verbs in other French past tenses. You will see that another French past tense is as easy as this one.

New Mexico catcher Ben Woodchick checked his swing. With two strikes and two outs, he was the Lobos' last hope in the bottom half of the sixth inning.
After an appeal to the first-base umpire said he swung, Woodchick hurled his bat toward the third-base dugout followed promptly by his helmet. It had been that kind of night for New Mexico against UCLA's sophomore right-
hander Nick Vander Tuig.
Vander Tuig mowed through New Mexico's lineup, allowing just one hit in eight innings and striking out 11 as UCLA cruised to a 7-1 win on Saturday. After beating Creighton on Friday, UCLA is the only undefeated team left in the Los Angeles Regional - the NCAA baseball tournament's opening round.
"It was NIck's night," UCLA coach John Savage said. "He came out and was very aggressive with all his pitches. He's one of the hardest-working guys in our program. He set the tone this evening."
Vander Tuig had a perfect game going until the bottom of the fifth inning when junior left fielder Cody Keefer made an error that eventually resulted in New Mexico's (37-22) only run on the night. His no-hit bid was broken up in the eighth inning on a double to left field from New Mexico first baseman Trey Porras.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery as a senior in high school, Vander Tuig struggled through last season as UCLA's closer. Savage said he's finally returning to pre-surgery form.
"There are little things I've been working on all year and I think it's starting to carry over a little more," Vander Tuig said.
The shutout came against one of the nation's most successful offenses. New Mexico owns the NCAA's fourth-best batting average (.332) and third best slugging percentage (.482).
"If you don't see those guys on a regular basis, sometimes your success can be your demise," New Mexico coach Ray Birmingham said. "That guy tonight didn't make a mistake. He didn't give you a cookie anytime during an at-bat."
UCLA has had 10 pitchers drafted over the past two seasons, leaving Savage little time to develop depth in his starting rotation. As such, the bullpen has become a source of stability for the No. 2 Bruins (43-13), especially in the later innings.
So far in the postseason, Savage's starters have carried the Bruins. UCLA hasn't had to turn to the bullpen once in the Bruins' first two games of the regional as sophomore right hander Adam Plutko tossed a complete-game, one-hitter on Friday. Junior closer Scott Griggs broke UCLA's single-season saves record during the regular season but hasn't left the dugout all weekend.
UCLA's offense did its part as well, pounding out 17 hits at the right moments. Every starter in Saturday's lineup finished with at least one hit.
Creighton 8, San Diego 2: Less than 24 hours after being shut out by UCLA, No. 4 seed Creighton responded with an 8-2 victory over No. 2 seed San Diego in the first elimination game of the regional. The Bluejays (27-29) amassed 11 hits and forced San Diego to go through three pitchers in the first three innings.
"We really wanted to get off to a fast start," Creighton coach Ed Servais said. "I thought it was important. It started with our leadoff hitter and we took off from there. I'm pleased with how we played today. This is what we're capable of doing."
The Toreros finish their season at 40-17 but struggled down the stretch, losing five of their final nine games.
"Sometimes teams have slumps and I think we went into one at the wrong time," sophomore third baseman Kris Bryant said.
Creighton will face New Mexico today at 3 p.m. The winner will face elimination again against UCLA at 7 p.m.

In a recent article, the Christian Science Monitor examines how social media became a driving force for the growth and spread of "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations. Individuals and organizations on both sides of the dispute--from protesters and their supporters to political strategists and public safety officials--are paying close attention to the onslaught of digital information. Professor Jonathan Askin argues however that making sense of the raw data is much more complicated. He explains the predicament to the Christian Science Monitor: "Everyone, even each protester, is a real-time microblogger or photojournalist. The problem now is in filtering, curating, dissecting and synthesizing meaningful media content from the endless flood of isolated data. We have the tools to create, upload, and disseminate the need information for informed public discourse, he adds, "but we still lack the curation tools needed to make sense of the dramatic changes occurring through these new social protest movements."

|Lancers slam Continental to advance to district finals
|Wednesday, May 22, 2013 11:41 PM
By KEVIN WANNEMACHER
DHI Correspondent
ELIDA – With his team down 3-1 heading into the bottom of the third inning, Lincolnview head coach Kent McClure had no reason to think his squad wouldn't respond.
And they did just that.
Lincolnview scored three times in the third inning and blew out Continental from there in routing the Pirates 15-5 in five innings in Division IV district semifinal action at Elida's Dorothy Edwards Field.
With the win, the Lady Lancers move on to face Parkway in Friday's district championship contest at 5 p.m.
The Lancers actually scored in the opening frame to take a quick lead. With two outs, Kaitlyn Brant singled to center and moved to second on a Devann Springer single. Brant then moved to third and home on a pair of passed ball as the Lady Lancers grabbed a 1-0 lead after one inning.
Continental, though, took advantage of a Lincolnview error in the third. With one out, Alex Quigley reached on a bunt single and proceeded to steal second. After McKenna Scott flew out, Taylor Williamson was safe on an error that also allowed Quigley to score and tie the contest at 1-1. Leva Weller followed with a run-scoring double that plated Williamson before Weller scored when Sara Deken safely reached thanks to another error, setting the margin at 3-1. Lincolnview pitcher Ashley McClure escaped further damage when Bailey Neate dove and snagged a ground ball off the bat of Erica Fitzwater and forced Deken at second.
"This team has never given up this year," commented the Lancer head coach. "We've battled back and won games via walk off runs after being behind and we've found ways to win tough games on the road as well. One thing about these girls is they don't give up and they will battle."
The Lancers showed that in the home half of the third. Jodie Doner led off and promptly reached thanks to a Continental error. After Autumn Proctor lined out to Weller, Brant reached on a Pirate fielding mistake to put runners at first and third. Springer grounded out, scoring Doner, before a double by Baylee Neate plated Brant to knot the contest at 3-3. However, Lincolnview wasn't done as Kelsey Mohr followed with a run-scoring double that sent Neate home for a 4-3 Lancer advantage.
"You have to give them a lot of credit," noted Continental head coach Jordan Streicher. "They just came out and hit the ball. Leva isn't overpowering on the mound but typically she has been able to keep the ball down and around the strike zone. Tonight, anything that was close, they were just hitting the ball."
The Lancers widened the lead to 8-3 after four innings after scoring four times in the inning. Macey Ashbaugh and Julia Thatcher each reached on errors to open the inning before Doner followed with a RBI single to score Ashbaugh. Brant added a double in the inning and Neate picked up a run-scoring single as Thatcher, Doner and Neate also scored to put Lincolnview in firm control.
"Our defense has been a strong point all season but it wasn't tonight," Streicher added. "You can't make mistakes like we did. But that is a very good softball team over there and Kent and his girls really came out swinging the bats tonight."
Continental got two runs in the fifth to close within 8-5. Deken and Fitzwater hit back-to-back run scoring singles to get the Pirates within three before Lincolnview put the game away in the bottom of the inning.
The Lancers scored seven times on eight hits, five of which came with two outs in the inning. Doner and Mohr each drove in a pair in the inning, which was capped off by an Ashbaugh RBI single to close out the 15-5 win.
"We had scouted them and we knew what to expect," stated McClure. "The girls got a lot of work in this week and we came in and executed our game plan."
Ashley McClure picked up the win for the Lancers, pitching the 5-inning contest and striking out four while allowing five hits and two walks.
Weller gave up 15 hits in 4 2/3 innings of action along with two walks.
Quigley had a pair of singles for Continental, which closes its season at 16-7. Weller had a double with Deken and Fitzwater adding singles.
Brant and Neate each posted two singles and a double for Lincolnview with Doner and Mohr adding a single and a double apiece. Springer recorded two singles while Ashbaugh, Thatcher and Lauren Calvert picked up a single each.
"Parkway has a very solid team and they have a good pitcher in Fent," concluded Coach McClure. "She is similar to what we saw tonight but she also has a couple of more pitches. They are solid defensively and they can hit as well. It's going to be a great game."

The sequestration rollercoaster continues to chug along. "So now it's time to buckle up."
"Now that everyone has to implement sequestration, it is taking an inordinate amount of time, because they have to figure out what it (sequestration) is, because we've never really done it before. And a lot people who are in charge of it are losing 1 day a week on sequestration planning. The other 4 days a week they're trying to figure out how to accomplish their mission. It is a monumental loss of government productivity and further erodes what the government is supposed to be doing," said Don Kettl.
Kettl is the Dean of the Public Policy School at the University of Maryland. Kettl sat down with Chris Dorobek on the DorobekINSIDER program to talk about the ramifications of sequestration.
"There are already people in the food inspection industry that are saying about the sequester, 'I don't care, the federal law requires them to inspect meat and we don't want to shut down our factories because the government can't provide the inspectors.' There is the potential for lawsuits out there, because the federal law promises a certain level of service and if the government can't deliver there will be legal challenges on that issue alone," said Kettl.
Lack of Public Outcry
"That's the slippery part of the story, the day after the sequester went into effect there was a lot out in the media with people saying, 'I went to the airports and nothing seemed to change, no big deal.' The reality is that this is something that is operating in slow motion," said Kettl.
"This perception seeps into the public that there is enough waste in government, that you can easily cut 5-10% and still be able to keep the job going," said Kettl.
Management's Two Part Dilemma
"We should have a wild and crazy national debate on what it is we want the government to do. We really have an obligation that whatever government commits to do, it needs to do as well as it can be done. Unfortunately we aren't have the debate about what government ought to do, nor are we making it possible for feds to do their jobs well. So we've ended up in the worst possible circumstance," said Kettl.
Brain Drain
"It's the longer term cost of the inefficiencies that gets wired into government, we may have a brain drain with people that say i've had enough. Lots of people joined the federal service because they are committed to the ideals of their agency's mission and because they're working for security. So if you move the security and make it hard to perform the public interest function then it really diminishes the value a lot of people see in government jobs to begin with," said Kettl.
Ripple Effect
"So many feds don't actually deliver the services themselves, they work with lots of partners in the private sector, non-profits, state and local governments etc. who are actually on the front lines of service delivery so the more that you disrupt that chain and undermine the ability of a federal employee to do what they do, the more that you create all these disruptions. The problem in productivity for one federal employee could percolate out to dozens of other people or million s or even billions of dollars down the road," said Kettl.
Uncharted Territory
"What we've done before is the political theater of shutting down the government. This time we have pretty significant cuts across the board in all federal agencies rolled out over a slow period. We've never done that before. We are doing what everyone was said was so bad it would spark an agreement on cuts to avert something like the sequester," said Kettl.
What Should Feds Do?
"Pushing the political theater aside, the fact is all the government is committed to do, the agency's missions, the programs, those are all still in place. There is still a commitment we have made as a country to do things from air traffic control, to food inspections to scientific research, all those missions are still in place," said Kettl.
Tracking the Sequester
"If this was an episode of CSI, you would come upon the the scene of a crime 5 months from now with finger prints everywhere. It would take an additional six months to lift all the fingers prints and discover who is responsible," said Kettl.
Cuts Need to Happen
"Clearly we need to trim back on what the government is spending. That's the future inevitably. The hope is that we can move the clumsy across the board cuts into something much more targeted. Ultimately we have to get to the central question of entitlements because that's where the money is," said Kettl.

So we've ended up in the worst possible circumstance," said Kettl.
James Madison wrote in The Federalist Papers, No. 45 (9th paragraph):
"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those that are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected."
I guess we could start there.
Yes I totally agree that this process has cause a paralyzing affect on business efficiency and career development in both the government and in the private sector.
Actually shared some of these thoughts here:Fear is the Mind Killer
tell those federal employees who have had their pay cut by 20% that the Sequestration is a waste of time...
has far as cutting entitlements, believe that a significant percentage of the those who are affected by the cutting probably would be agreeable to making some sacrifice IF the perception was there that everyone was making some sacrifice
As for entitlement reform:
Again IMO these "changes" would probably go a long way to reducing the percentage of deficit both in the short term and long term.
Do I see any significant chance that, even most, of these budget changes will have the opportunity to see the light of day in "political" Washington? Not only NO but H_ _ _ NO
The last sentence is the key: "Ultimately we have to get to the central question of entitlements because that's where the money is".
This nation is unwilling to have a serious debate about the mandatory entitlement programs, how to fund them, the demographic challenges we are facing as the Baby Boom generation starts to retire with a smaller working population behind them.
While I disagree with the Republicans who unfairly think we federal employees are overcompensated and lazy (we're neither), I do agree with them that we have to fundamentally reform the entitlements and fully fund defense (while seeking to reduce waste in the defense budget). Defense should not have to bear a disproportionate share of the sequestration cuts. Defense is one of the core functions of the federal government.
"Sequestration - An Inordinate Waste of Time"
That may be the understatement of this FY 2013!

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Beginning today, a mash-up of pop-culture enthusiasts, movie stars, and old-school Marvel collectors will descend on San Diego for the annual Comic-Con International. While you're more likely to catch members of the fashion set waiting hours in line for an exclusive sample sale than a sneak preview of the new Captain America film, designers and tastemakers have latched onto cartoonish prints. A case in point is Raf Simons, who featured charming Andy Warhol sketches on his Fall runway for Dior, and scattered vibrant pop-art motifs (and text blocks that read "Artificially flavored" and "This is the new shape") throughout his namesake menswear line for Spring. Disney-style swallows flitted across a shirt at London's MAN show, and Bambi himself was stamped on Riccardo Tisci's collection-opening sweatshirt at Givenchy. But Mickey always wins. Miley Cyrus and street-style maven Carlotta Oddi, among others, have gone Mouseketeer lately.
Thank you, I've just been looking for information about this topic for ages and yours is the greatest I have came upon so far. But, what in regards to the bottom line? Are you certain in regards to the source? nice beading http://www.beadingcharms.org/

Lebanon — Indiana's corn crop continues to crisp despite a respite from a record-breaking heat wave.
More than 61 percent of the state's corn crop was rated "very poor" or "poor" in the USDA's crop report issued Monday. Nationally, using the 18 states that planted 92 percent of the 2011 corn harvest, less than a third of the crop was very poor or poor.
Adding to the misery, the condition of 40 percent of the corn crop in those 18 states was rated "good " or "excellent."
The USDA reported that 60 percent of Indiana's corn was in the silking stage for the week ending Sunday, compared to a state and national 19 percent average from 2007 through 2011.

Vintage SEIKO 6309-735M R, ca. 1977 (from Tim)
The sexiness of Olongapo bracelets...
I was quite surprised that my wife liked the Olongapo bracelet so much. Olongapo is the name of a town in the Philippines. Please read the Wikipedia entry about Olongapo. Adjacent to the city is the Subic Bay Freeport Zone which was a US naval base until 1992.
During my travels to the Philippines I often had the impression that Philippinos and Thais show the same ingenious sense of creating small businesses. They must have realized that the stock rubber bands and the bracelets of the Seikos on the wrists of US sailors and troops needed to be replaced. Typically for the talented workmen, they did not simply sell spare parts, but came up with these unique two-piece bracelets often bearing the arms of the troops on either side. Google around "Olangapo bracelet" and you will find a lot of additional information about this kind of bracelet.

Having convincingly established herself as the anti-Britney, tough girl Avril Lavigne launched her first tour this spring, with Graeme Nicol and Kurt Wagner as the co-LDs. For Nicol, the experience was a stimulating change. "Having designed for Sarah McLachlan, Dido, and Diana Krall, I've been tagged as the sensitive guy," he says. "This is the most rock thing I've done in a long time."
Not only does the music require a hard-rocking approach, but Nicol adds that he took into account the fact that Lavigne appeals to a young, young audience. "For a lot of the kids going to the show, it's their first rock concert," he says. (He adds, laughing, "At times, it looked like Single Dad Custody Day out there.") Therefore, he says, he chose to "make it big, and to include the audience a lot. For example, in the song, 'In My World,' where she wanted the audience to jump, we'd make them jump. You can't be subtle; it's about the big picture."
The tour began in Europe, Nicol says, "with half the rig we eventually had in North America." Throughout the tour, Martin Professional equipment made up the bulk of the gear, with the addition of some High End Systems units for the European leg, and some Dataflash strobes used throughout the tour. "We used [Martin] MAC 600s for washes and MAC 2000s for beams, along with [Martin] Atomic strobes." Control was provided by the MA Lighting grandMA console (distributed by A.C.T Lighting), which, Nicol says, is "an interesting console," although, having worked steadily on the Flying Pig Systems Wholehog® II, he is still adapting from that board's methodology. "It's hard to change when your mind is used to the Wholehog environment," he says. "The board has many great features, you just have to relearn things you took for granted before."
In designing the tour, Nicol says he focused on the lighting while Wagner handled the projection system and also created video imagery. (Video gear was supplied by Nocturne.) The setting featured three screens — two of which were dedicated to close-ups of the star and a third which featured some dedicated video imagery. "For the number 'Complicated,' we had the word 'complicated' appearing in several languages," Nicol says. "She also did a cover of 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door,' for which we found footage of World War II-related images." As for the lighting, Nicol says he approached the show song by song. He adds, "She's quite pale-looking, and we didn't want to color her too much, so we used followspots on her. You know, most of her audience is quite short, and they want to see her, so keeping her lit all the time was a big part of the job. She's short herself, so everything had to be scaled to that. For a full-body shot, I had to remind the followspot operators that she didn't need that much iris."
Having collaborated with Wagner — the two LDs have worked on one-off events together in the past — Nicol says that he's open to further collaborations. "We'll see what we can come up with," he says. "We both think in the same direction." Other personnel included production manager Paul Runnals and lighting crew Dale Lynch, Terry Mueller, and Ryan Kell. Lighting was supplied in Europe by Neg Earth, in North America by Christie Lites, and in Australia by Bytecraft. The Avril Lavigne tour concluded in June.

'The Adventures of the Crooked House'
In the fall of 1908 through winter of 1909, Senator Aldrich and the House of Representatives began demanding an inquiry into President Roosevelt's inflammatory words against Congress. Prior to Congress' call to action, Roosevelt insinuated that Congress did not "wish to be investigated" by the Secret Service and that Congress maybe a "criminal class." During this period, Roosevelt was trying to expand the Secret Service's role from Presidential security and counterfeiting to also include investigations on issues he deemed necessary i.e. anti-trust probes. Congress was wary of the increasingly expanding presidential powers and reports that the Secret Service was being utilized by the president to harass political opponents.
The image by Louis M. Glacksens, published in Puck Magazine, on February 3, 1909, illustrates the untrusting relationship between Theodore Roosevelt and Congress. Roosevelt (as Sherlock Holmes) and Uncle Sam (as Watson) are spying on Congress while an elderly man representing special privileges is looking out of the transom above the door.
Did You Know?
Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace became a museum thanks to the efforts of the Women's Roosevelt Memorial Association in 1919. The museum opened to the public in 1923. The W.R.M.A later joined with the Theodore Roosevelt Association who donated the museum to the National Park Service in 1962.

- Lind may see reduced workload upon return
- Bautista taking attention, pressure in stride
- Worth noting
NEW YORK -- The revolving door behind Jose Bautista in the batting order continued on Monday night, as the Blue Jays inserted Yunel Escobar into the cleanup spot for the first time this season.
Toronto has now used four players in the No. 4 position in the lineup since Adam Lind went down with a back injury on May 7.
Manager John Farrell has juggled the lineup more than he wanted in an attempt to find some protection for Bautista. Farrell felt that Escobar might be a good fit against Yankees starter Bartolo Colon because of the infielder's ability to protect the outer half of the plate.
"For the time being, with Adam's situation and still being on the disabled list, we're in a little bit of a state of flux," Farrell said. "What has become apparent in what we have to respond to is in the way teams are approaching Jose.
"[Colon's] dominant down to his glove side, down and away, and we felt like Yunel has swung the bat here really well of late."
Edwin Encarnacion, Juan Rivera and Aaron Hill have all been given auditions in the cleanup spot. The trio combined to hit just .216 with no home runs and eight RBIs.
Now it's Escobar's turn to offer some sort of protection to Bautista, who entered Monday's game with 39 walks this season and hit his 19th homer of the season off Colon in his first at-bat.
Farrell wouldn't commit to how long Escobar's audition would last.
"[There's] every intent to try to gain some continuity," said Farrell, who has used 41 lineups in 47 games. "It has been pretty much the antithesis of that, because of the uncertainty, because we're not trying to be so knee-jerk reactionary with the lineup.
"Yet we're looking for combinations to address what is being presented to us right now, and that's a clear-cut strategy with Jose, and we're trying to respond to that the best we can with the internal options."
Escobar's transition to fourth created an opening for Rajai Davis to return to the leadoff spot. Davis began the season in the club's top spot but sustained an ankle injury during the first game of the season and has struggled to find continued success.
The 30-year-old has been hitting well as of late, though, batting .364 with six runs and three doubles over his past 12 games.
Davis also leads the Blue Jays with 12 stolen bases in 16 attempts this year.
Lind may see reduced workload upon return
NEW YORK -- Adam Lind's sore back continues to improve but has not reached the point where he is ready to take part in a full game.
Lind, who hasn't played since May 7 because of tightness in his lower back, had another good day on Monday, according to manager John Farrell. The first baseman took approximately 50 swings and also ran in the pool for 20 minutes after he completed baseball-related activities.
Lind's workload will continue to increase this week, and if everything goes well, he is expected to start at designated hitter in an extended spring training game on Wednesday.
"It has become much, much more tolerable," Farrell said of Lind's back woes. "The discomfort continues to decrease, so he is making progress just from how he feels physically.
"What we have to continue to do is ramp up the intensity, and the volume, and be sure that there is not any recurrence of that soreness, and then get him back in games and ultimately back with us. We're hopeful it's sometime in the upcoming homestand."
The club is also expected to reduce Lind's workload at first base when he returns. The 27-year-old won't come back primarily as a designated hitter, but he will get occasional starts in that role.
"I think once he comes back, we'll continue to use Juan [Rivera] at first base to be sure that we gradually build the innings played under Adam's belt, gradually," Farrell said.
"We've got to balance the volume at first base."
Lind was batting .313 with seven home runs and 27 RBIs at the time of his injury.
Bautista taking attention, pressure in stride
NEW YORK -- Jose Bautista held court with a throng of New York-based reporters prior to his club's series opener against the Yankees.
Bautista has received an increasing amount of media attention as his impressive 2011 campaign continues. That added responsibility and the pressure that comes with it would take its toll on a lot of players, but Bautista experienced a lot of the same exposure last year as well.
"There's always an adjustment, but I have to deal with it," Bautista said. "I'm trying to deal with it the best I can to accommodate everybody, and it's not like it's something bad."
As Bautista continues to produce at a record pace -- he hit his 19th homer of the season in the first inning on Monday -- the club has noticed an adjustment in the way opposing teams pitch to him.
"They're taking the bat out of his hands," manager John Farrell said. "Just from a sheer strategy standpoint, they're not putting him in a position where he can affect the outcome of the game, particularly late in the game."
Bautista entered Monday's matchup leading the Majors in walks, with 39. He also leads the Majors in home runs, runs (37), on-base percentage (.500), OPS (1.316) and extra-base hits (26).
Worth noting
The Blue Jays optioned utility man Mike McCoy to Triple-A Las Vegas following Sunday afternoon's game against the Astros. It is the fourth time this year McCoy has been sent down.
Despite his roller-coaster ride through the season, McCoy has handled it well, according to manager John Farrell.
"He has been a pro about it," Farrell said. "He understands the role he's in, he understands that we've had some injury situations, some personal situations that have come about. So he is fully respectful, and we're respectful of him and his abilities."
Right-hander Casey Janssen entered Monday's game against the Yankees with 19 relief appearances. He has allowed a run in just two of those games and has not surrendered one over his past 6 1/3 innings.
Catcher J.P. Arencibia leads all Major League rookies with eight home runs, 12 walks and 16 extra-base hits. He ranks second with 13 runs, 28 hits, six doubles, 19 RBIs and 64 total bases.

Lemania 1873 HW Chronograph
Crystal, Case Thickness and Photography
Do you see that glass standing out ca. 2.5 mm over the bezel? That is the reason why there is so much glare on the pictures. But this also has its advantages. The case is very slim for a chronograph, the lack of the date disk of course helps too. But I find this a very smart solution, this chronograph is really slim and thus looks very elegant and light. And this solution also saves some weight. Interestingly not too many brands offer models following this solution.

Farm-to-Market Road 40 and 1729 is the place of at least five traffic collisions. Four way stop signs are going up after complaints to the state's highway department. Now, Abernathy residents are pleading for the same thing.
At least four people have died this year after collisions at FM 54 and FM 400 in Hale County. "I think for years, people off and on have talked to the Texas Department of Transportation about getting something done out there to draw some attention," said Tina Goble, Abernathy resident.
Goble says she and 40 other people who have signed her petition want the intersection marked more noticeably. "Four way stops would help, but I'd really like to see flashing light to get the driver's attention," she told us.
But that will not happen, according to the Texas Department of Transportation Spokeswoman Penny Mason. Mason says FM 400 and FM 54 do not fit the state's requirements for a four way stop. That includes high volume of traffic, pedestrian traffic and high accident rates, not including number of fatalities. "If the accident rate is five or more within 12 months at that particular location," said Mason.
Mason did say the state will replace larger rumble stumps to the intersection, and install florescent warning signs that can be seen better at night.
Goble says something needs to be done in order to draw a driver's attention to the intersection. It's an intersection that has one pair of stop signs. "When you go the the intersection, you will notice that it is in the bottom of a lake area. When you are coming off a hill off both sides of the road, sometimes there are tall weeds. It is just really hard to see, especially if you are traveling through and do not know the area to realize you have to stop," says Goble.
Four way stop signs with flashing beacons will be in place at the intersection of FM 40 and 1729 by next week. The intersection in Hale County will be taken care in a couple of weeks.

Pizzeria Rustika
Conveniently located on the same hill as many of Bled's hostels, the best pizza in town and in this part of Slovenia is just a couple of minutes walk away. The terrace is one of the prettiest in the neighbourhood.
Conveniently located on the same hill as many of Bled's hostels, the best pizza in town and in this part of Slovenia is just a couple of minutes walk away. The terrace is one of the prettiest in the neighbourhood.
Unduly humble this 'snack bar' is actually more like a comfortable gostilna about 800m north of the centre. It's famed for its cold cuts and other prepared meets like pršut (air-dried ham) and horse-meat sausages.
Located directly on the left bank of the Ljubljanica, At the Knight is the place for a special meal (Mediterranean-style grills and Adriatic fish dishes), whether in the brasserie, the salon or the very cosy Knight's Room.
In the basement of the Maximarket department store, this glass and chrome self-service eatery is surprisingly upbeat, and just the ticket if you want something quick while visiting Ljubljana's main museums.
This very welcoming and attractive place – note the fantastic mosaic of the namesake 'scarab' on the back wall – serves excellent pizza (€5.50 to €8) and pasta (€5 to €7.50) as well as more ambitious dishes.
'Buckwheat Grain' serves soups, sandwiches, fried vegetables and lots of different salads. And it has terrific, freshly squeezed juices, including the unusual rose-petal juice with lemon. Enter from Mali trg.
A tried-and-true favourite in Portorož, the Old Anchor is next to the lovely (and landmark) Vila San Marco. It specialises in seafood and has both a garden and a lovely terrace overlooking Obala and Portorož Bay.
This wonderful little place in tranquil Krakovo south of the centre serves some of the best prepared local dishes and salads in Ljubljana, with an ever-changing menu. Weekday set lunches are good value at €8.
This atmospheric Mexican restaurant in Lent serves excellent fajitas (€8.50 to €12) and enchiladas (€6.50 to €7.50), and turns into a snappy little night spot after the 11pm happy hour on Friday and Saturday.
This traditional restaurant in an attractive inn specialises in game, Soča trout and mushroom dishes. During the winter pizza rears its ugly head. There is a lovely roadside terrace in front. Set lunch is €13.
This stunning eatery in the Hotel Evropa has superb international cuisine and some very inspired decor. We love the Manet-like portraits of film and rock stars (though we don't get the connection either).
An old favourite, this relatively simple eatery on the main road into the Old Town has good-value set lunches (€7) and stays open throughout the day. Try the gnocchi with pršut in a red Refošk wine sauce.
This little place in the city's biggest park supplies Ljubljančani (local people) with their favourite treat: horse burgers (€4). It's just down the hill from the Museum of Contemporary History.
A wooden-beamed cottage pub with a nautical theme (think nets and seascapes), this is actually a rather exclusive fish restaurant with a lovely (and protected) back courtyard for the warmer months.
Housed in a stunning 1920s-style building next to the entrance to the Postojna Cave, the Cave Manor has fairly average international dishes but its set menus at €11 and €12 are a big attraction.
If you're looking for a fix of rice or noodles, try the 'Chinese Star' on the river just south of the Old Town. Szechuan dishes, including the mapo doufu (tofu with garlic and chilli) are quite good.

The one-piece black plastic case is its downfall. The hinge is not a hinge, just a place where the plastic bends. This means it does not hold a mirror angle and being opaque, the base can't be used on a map very well.

CATEGORIES Action, Classics, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Thrillers, Warner Brothers, RumorMonger, Fandom, Scripts, Newsstand, Remakes and Sequels, Movies, CinematicalThe remake of The Forbidden Planet has danced around Hollywood for years, with various big names like James Cameron dropping in and out of the project. Now it's finally moving forward at Warner Bros, with determined producer Joel Silver at the production helm, and the ever-popular J. Michael Straczynski penning the script. Still, it was news that wasn't welcome to several of our readers, which is understandable. It's a sci-fi classic, and beloved by many.
Well, this might ease your fears a little bit. The gang over at Ain't It Cool News snagged some exclusive details. Apparently, Straczynski's script will be more of a continuation, or a companion piece, than an actual remake. It's possible the new movie retcons the story a bit, and leaves Altair 4 intact and alive. The beloved Robby the Robot will be in it, and the movie will be "an enormous, giant, retro sci-fi movie ... nothing sleek or 'chromy'" in its visuals.
If you were a Babylon 5 fan, you know Straczynski's love for the original film runs as deep as anyone else's. It sounds like he's trying to do right by the story, and yet give fans a little something new. If it's a movie that continues the nightmares of the original, I think that could be pretty darn cool, and a nice break from the reboots and outright remakes that are taking over Hollywood. But, let's turn it over to you Planet fans in the comments, and see if this softens the blow, or just rubs salt in the wound.

France was certainly the favorite in Monday morning's game at the 2012 London Olympics against Nigeria, but Africa's other qualifier -- Tunisia took Africa's automatic qualifying berth -- refused to go down without a fight. It ended in a loss, but Nigeria was able to keep it close for its last game in London before France pulled away for the 79-73 victory.
The French national team rested San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker for the duration of the fourth quarter, leading to a rather underwhelming three points and seven assists in the victory. France could afford to rest Parker, however, as Nicolas Batum came up huge with 23 points and six rebounds -- and the two connected on an all-too-easy alley-oop, too:
Fellow NBA player Boris Diaw filled the box score with 10 points, six rebounds and four assists while Mickael Gelebale contributed 11 points despite missing all four of his three-point attempts, but it was Nigeria's Chamberlain Oguchi who stole the show before Batum's fourth-quarter magic.
Oguchi, commonly referred to as Champ, has bounced all around the world during his basketball career (since going from Oregon to Illinois State during his college career, Oguchi's spent time in France, the D-League, the Philippines, Lebanon, Iraq and Venezuela). He likely earned himself a bit of a better job following Monday's momentous game in the Olympics, however, as "Champ" carried his team to a near-victory with 35 points -- 8-of-14 from beyond the arc.
Nigeria is now headed home while France awaits the results of Monday afternoon's game between Team USA and Argentina. Tom Ziller broke down the scenarios the French are awaiting in an earlier column:
France, which plays Nigeria in its final group game, has locked up a bid to the knockouts, but could enter as either the No. 2 or No. 3 seed. It would prefer the No. 2 seed, because that would estrange the team from Team USA in the elimination bracket. To win No. 2, France needs a win over Nigeria and a Team USA win over Argentina.
Alternately, France could get the spot with a win and an 49-point win by Argentina over Team USA. We would not recommend holding your breath for that result.
So France is either hoping for the USA to win by any amount of points or lose by 50 points. Whoa.

For years now, consumers have used the Internet to book vacations, car rentals, even auto repair appointments, but booking a reservation at an emergency room?
"It's that (situation), you get home from work and you see your kiddos for the first time, and you realize something is going on," said Jim Parisi, Chief Operations Officer at Memorial Hermann Katy. " And you can't get into the pediatrician but you know somebody is sick enough that really needs to be seen. It's a nice way of being able to hold your place in line."
Dave Elkins works for HealthPost, the Houston based company that developed Memorial Hermann's check in program.
"We're in an online age basically," he said.
Besides the ER, patients can also book doctors appointments and fill out information forms. The result? No more telephone time spent waiting on hold or navigating a prerecorded menu, and no more long sits in waiting rooms filling out paperwork.
And the upside for the hospital?
"It frees up our staff to take care of same day appointments and other urgent issues," said Dr. Hina Pandya.
The system lets patients report their symptoms so their doctor can have some idea before the appointment takes place. A nurse pre-screens those symptoms.
"If they think there's something urgent, then we call the person and say come on in now or call the ambulance," Parisi said.
The check-in service is new. Parisi says Memorial Hermann's busiest facility gets about seventy 'ER check-ins' per month, mostly from parents of children fighting fevers or with sudden schoolyard injuries.
And while the concept of online reservations isn't new to other industries, as a thirty-year veteran in the hospital industry, even he is surprised with the technology.
"I wouldn't have predicted that somebody could make a reservation for the "ER" and hold their place in line," he said.
Oh, how times have changed.
