Last night he told me that he broke NC two weeks ago. He had seen a disturbing news story that may have impacted OW and her family, so he sent her an email saying he hoped all was ok. She responded and indicated that her husband was ok with them reestablishing communication as he thought it would help his and her healing, and from there my WH and the OW exchanged several emails and had two phone calls over the course of five days.
WH saved all the emails and told me that he wanted to be transparent from the beginning, but that this started just as we were about to leave on a big family vacation. He didn't want to cause me pain at that time, and of course we had a great vacation. So in his mind he was trying to do the right thing but sees that he screwed up. I told him that this latest betrayal is more devastating than the original affair (I suspected that whereas the breaking of NC came out of the blue when thing were seemingly so great), and that I have to reassess our future if OW is in his life even as a long distance friend.
So now WH says he is sad that he will have to say goodbye to OW again and scared that my distrust and feeling of betrayal will cause me to end the marriage. I can't believe he thought there was any chance of me being ok with this - and I am alternating between devastation and total anger at his most recent actions.
I know I should start the 180 and start protecting myself, but in the meantime I am so devastated by the realization that I thought we were on a great path and actually weren't....and that he is still totally in the fog. He says he absolutely loves me and doesn't feel that for her...but he was willing to risk everything to send her a stupid email. Please help...
So now WH says he is sad that he will have to say goodbye to OW
Please read about the 180 in the Healing Library under BS FAQs #11. He needs a wakeup call. The 180 will make you stronger to get though this.
So now WH says he is sad that he will have to say goodbye to OW again
I agree with Pippy.
I am not sure when your dday was, but it appears to have been pretty recent.
IMO and from my experience, R shouldn't even be in your vocabulary yet.
It's too early. You need to be in IC to heal you he needs IC to heal him.
You cannot heal a marriage until you have 2 healthy, emotionally stable partners working in the same direction.
After dday you are dealing with shock and trauma. It isn't a time to commit to R, it's a time to commit to YOU. To making sure you are strong, emotionally ok and have dealt with the many issues an A brings into a marriage.
You may even have your own FOO issues to deal with ( I had plenty)
So take R and put it away for now...just leave it on the shelf and revisit it in a few months. Start to take a path that will enable you to make a sound reasonable choice after your H has had time to work through his issues. You need time to watch his actions, see who this man has really become and if he is someone worthy of R.
The devastation one feels when NC is broken is horrible. I am going to give you a different viewpoint from karma though.
Is your H remorseful, and kind, and understanding to you? I he is then I would definately not table R at this point. My H broke NC pretty quickly after D day. Then she contacted im several more times, where he just couldnt resist communicating with her. It took me finally telling him I was done, for him to really really get it.
He gave me all kinds of excuses, but ultimately I think it was a combination of breaking the habit of the relationship, and realizing that I deserved and demanded more respect than being second choice, or an option.
So My suggestion to you is to have some very firm consequences for breaking NC. Be ready to stick to them too. Like if he breaks NC then he is no longer welcome in your home, and be fully prepared to make him leave. The next thing I would have him do is send a NC email to her. Then you need to contact her spouse, and tell him that you do not feel that continued contact is going to help her heal, and to please respect your wishes, and ask her to stop all communication with your H. When you communicate with her spouse, don't tell yours that you are going to, just do it. MY feeling is that him giving the OK for them is total BS.
I think your H wants to R. The fact that he awas forthcoming with this information is actually very good. Do you have access to all his emails, passwords, etc? If not now is the time to get it. I would also suggest placing spyware on any and all of his electronic devices, and putting a VAR in his car. He has proven he isn't trusworthy, so you need to verify his behaviors, and actions.
Sending you lots of hugs and strength.
Anyway, besides this one big setback, my WH has made huge progress in the six weeks since D-Day, and he has been remorseful and understanding and kind nearly from the beginning. I believe his desire to R is genuine, and if he can be consistent in the actions that he has been demonstrating, then I can R as well.
The big problem in all of this is the NC. Despite all of the positive progress and hard work, I see now that the affair hasn't really ended from an emotional standpoint. He can't seem to break away from the habit of having her in his life, and if it weren't for that HUGE issue, I think we'd be making huge strides forward.
So today is a big day. He's either going to tell her that he has to go NC, or he's going to tell her it is ok for them to continue their "just friends" relationship, or he's going to tell her that he is choosing NC for the next few months to give all of us space and time. Only one of those choices is acceptable to me, so I'm bracing myself.....
And yes, your husband needs to learn to view the OW as his enemy. She was his accomplice in destroying you and your marriage. She helped him on his path of selfishness and pain. She is NOT a friend. Until he really understands that, it makes R very dicey.
He should not be calling her about NC if that is his plan. Don't allow that as an option. An email sent from him simply stating "our affair was wrong, I am ashamed of my actions, and I never want to hear from you again" is the most he should do. Then, crickets. Forever.
And tell her husband!!
Your WH is the one that broke NC. There is no way her BH told her it was OK for her to talk to WH if he truely knows of the A. I would make sure he knew.
My WH#2 broke NC as recently as 4/13. I was furious. More so than when he actually had the A. It set us back so far and destroyed any chance we had at R at this time. He still doesn't get it. He thinks just because she texted and he called her to leave us the hell alone (or so he claims) that I should be OK with that. I am not. It killed what tiny bit of trust he had reestablished with me and now he sits again at 0 a year after DDay#2.
Do not let him use excuses to break NC. He should not be still texting or calling her, no matter what.
NC=NO NEW HURTS!!! WS's find this so hard to understand and it often results in the end of their marriages. They can't seem to let go, just like an addict can't let go of the drugs. It made their ego's feel good and they are addicted to that feeling and often restart the A as a result of broken NC.
You are going to have to be firm about this and he is going to have to stick to it or the chances for R are null and void. You cannot R with a spouse who is still in contact with the affair partner. (((HUGS)))
He kept notes of the call and told me about it the moment I walked in the door. That led to a long conversation about boundaries and the ones he has set for communication with her. At one point he even said that he gets to be selfish and choose her as a friend. He was frustrated by the conversation and is pretty annoyed with me, of all things. He says he hates these discussions that go on and on and all of my over analyzing. He says he has told me a thousand times that he loves me, I am his choice, he is committed to us, and that all he wants from her is a friendship so the fact I keep questioning that has pushed him over the edge.
I am reeling and have no idea who this person is. Up until two days ago he was supportive, remorseful, willing to talk and answer my difficult questions, etc. and now he is a complete stranger. I am close to kicking him out but that is complicated by the fact we have two young kids, he is a stay at home dad and I am the breadwinner. I travel regularly so it will take serious planning to figure out how to do this. I am not willing to leave my house and kids even that would solve the logistics.
So any advice? Start the hard 180 and pretend he isn't living here?
He would get that the OW is not a friend, friend of the M or in any way healthy to have in his life.
Everything I'm reading tells me he's selfish, he doesn't get it. His actions aren't matching his words. IME, you're facing another d-day sooner or later. With this OW or another...because a WS that doesn't truly own their actions and deal with their issues is much more likely to cheat again.
If you show him you'll accept little, that's what he'll give you. If you don't value yourself enough to insist on a true M, devoid of the OW and focused on the hard work of R, he will not value you either.
It's hard, I know. What you accept now is the best you will get...is it what you're willing to live with for the rest of your life?
I can only control myself, no one else. I do not have that kind of power.
I am sorry Arnold01. You are not in R. You have not been in R. Your WH has simply been nice to you to prove to himself that he is a great guy. He has not faced the reality of what he has done. He was not being nice because he was concerned about you.
Yes, talking to OW means he is still in a relationship with her. Do you want to be in a marriage of 3 people?
He is still in his fog and doesn't get it. Protect yourself. He is not remorseful or he wouldn't do this...he is regretful that he got caught. There is a big difference. Remorse would not have broken NC and would not continue to be friends.
Staying friends isn't an option. Period. Not up for discussion. I would probably tell him he needs to find somewhere else to stay for the night.
Nothing kills an A faster then getting both BS's on the same page. Don't believe what your WS or the OW are saying, they are trying to do everything they can to make this "OK" to be friends. You need to contact the OBS without your WS knowing and find out what is really going on.
And since you are the bread winner I would REALLY go talk to an attorney to know your rites.
You can do it.
Tell the other spouse and do it today.
You can do this, ((Arnold01))!
He doesn't get it, and he won't until he has some consequences. He is sitting on the fence and eating cake. Of course he's been nice to you all along, he's been able to keep in contact with her, and the fact that he continues to believe that this acceptable shows how deep in the fog he is.
I am angry for you.
He wants to have you fall back in line, and not talke about it, so he can continue to do what he wants. This will not help you, or your M. It can be tough to make some of the decisions you face, but many of us have been in the same boat and we have survived it.
You need to do a few things and since he is blissfully unaware you have the option of doing them without his knowledge which may have more impact on him when you do pull the trigger.
I would strongly recommend that you see a D lawyer or 2, and get info on how you can expect this thing to play out should he not get it. Find out what your rights are, and what to expect financially. Next you need to implement the 180, and while doing that figure out what your line in the sand is, and prepare yourself to follow through.
YOU do not deserve to be a choice, YOU do not deserve to be disrespected to this level. YOU are the one who can change it.
I often remind members that you can't force someone to do something that you want, however you can make things very difficult for them should they continue to behave in a way that is detrimental to you, and your marriage.
((((and strength))))
You know what really struck me when I read this part of your post - ITS ALL ABOUT HIM - he said...he said..
The only part where I agree with him is overanalyzing everything - if there is one thing I learned with my H is that all the "talking" really does nothing - talk is cheap - its so easy to say anything - lets take a look at his actions...thats what you need to listen to-
And that's all he'll listen to also - is YOUR ACTIONS.
Your H can do whatever he wants - its all in how YOU react to it - thats all you can control.
I have to say...I am so angry for you - he's really an idiot who just doesn't get it - and no amount of heart-felt conversations is going to change that-
I love how he didn't feel the need to be a team when he decided to break NC, but now it is "we" (read ME) that has to be the bad guy and insist on NC.
Oh, Honey, do I hear ya!! In my WH's good-bye my lover letter, which I wasn't supposed to see, he made it clear that *I* (Read horrible, nasty, evill wife) was the one who blocked her on FB and deleted her number from his phone. Amazing how we are the bad ones just because we want to uphold our marriage vows!
I'm so sorry you re going through this!
He wants cake and ice cream too. Please Arnold01 180 him. He knows that he is being selfish, he said so. He knows that he is hurting you. He doesn't care, he would rather hurt you then her. He wants to have an EA with her and thinks that that should be ok with you but if it isn't oh well. He will do it anyway.
Take good care my friend.
Up until two days ago he was supportive, remorseful, willing to talk and answer my difficult questions, etc
He was only pretending. He was appeasing you for the moment until you backed down and he could revert back to his old ways.
he would rather hurt you then her.
I agree and think both of these statements are spot on. Arnold, my heart breaks for you and I don't want to hurt you - but you haven't got a remorseful spouse now and he wasn't remorseful before either. He's being totally unreasonable and he knows it.
Please start the 180 for your own sake, while you decide what is the best thing to do next for you and your children. ((((((Hugs))))))
Things are far from good, but I feel stronger in the past few days. I've started the 180 which is helping me tremendously, and we had a good MC session on Wednesday. That was followed by some very difficult but civilized and constructive conversation at home.
Yesterday, WH emailed MOW to check in - now that he believes everyone is fine with them being friends - and she emailed back that she is really struggling with what she has done and how she's hurt her husband. She suggested that if she and WH are going to remain friends, they need to cool things off for now and see whether someday after a lot of healing that can be possible. WH told her that if she needs her space, he'll respect that.
When I got home yesterday WH told me about this entire exchange and showed me the emails. He told me he felt horrible and started to cry when he told me that he's hurt all the people he cares about (me, her, her husband). I'm glad I made the list (ha!). Even so, my husband absolutely does not cry, so this felt like the first little bit of true emotion and recognize for what he's done.
So, I'm not betting on anything and am not willing to let up on the 180 until I see a LOT more action and not just a few words. Even so, I wonder if the OW telling him that what they've done is wrong, that they hurt everyone they love, and that they cannot stay in contact and keep hurting me and her BH will finally break through to him. I've said all of that all along, but maybe it will take her saying so for him to listen.
For now I'm looking for actions that suggest the fog is lifting. There is probably going to be some affair withdrawal now that she's backed off of their relationship, and I'm prepared to stick with the 180 for a bit to see how this goes. I'm researching my options so that I'm ready to make decisions if it comes to that.
I know several of you might think I'm a fool for not having kicked him out already, but I've realized that my emotions have been so up and down that I can't trust myself yet to know what I'm really feeling. The 180 is helping a ton with that, so I know I'll be strong enough either way - whether things improve and we eventually get to real R or not.
I guess sinsofthefather said it best: I'm taking care of myself while I decide what the best thing to do for me and my children is. ((((hugs back to you all))))
But yet didn't respect YOUR need for NC?
When I got home yesterday WH told me about this entire exchange and showed me the emails. He told me he felt horrible and started to cry when he told me that he's hurt all the people he cares about (me, her, her husband). I'm glad I made the list (ha!). Even so, my husband absolutely does not cry, so this felt like the first little bit of true emotion and recognize for what he's done.
I wouldn't count on it. Finally, he's not getting his way and *that's* what hurts.
MrH has cried only a handful of times in the 22yrs we've been together. A couple have been after 2A. I honestly still don't think he gets it because he's simply too self focused to get it. It's more an uncomfortable feeling about himself that he doesn't know how to deal with than a true realization of the damage he's caused.
I'm sorry, but that's the vibe I'm getting from your WH and I'm pissed for you that he's willing to respect the OW and not you, the woman he chose to spend his life with.
She committed to me that day to start promising NC on a daily basis, and she reported to me about NC every day. About a month later she sent a very clear NC letter to the OM. While there were some good signs, there were also bad signs, and my wife never really showed true remorse. I had various reasons to suspect that they might still be in contact, though I hoped with all my heart that it wasn't true. I made it very difficult for them to continue contact, and I continued increasing my surveillance. A month later I saw her car parked in his driveway. She had been lying to me almost every single day for two months.
No matter how good a person you believed your spouse to be in the past, an affair turns them into an addict that will say and do anything to keep the affair going. They will say and do things you wouldn't possibly imagine them ever saying or doing.
If you want R, continue to demand absolute NC for the rest of his life, and he must be willing to do whatever it takes to prove to you that NC is being strictly maintained. Never take his word for it. Always conduct your own surveillance to verify NC.
I'm so sorry for what you're going through. Set your boundaries. Stay strong. Above all, take care of yourself. You can come out of this a stronger, happier person whether your spouse chooses to join you or not.

First off you are not an idiot or a fool or anything else. You just love your husband and want things to work between you. We have all been there.
When I got home yesterday WH told me about this entire exchange and showed me the emails. He told me he felt horrible and started to cry when he told me that he's hurt all the people he cares about (me, her, her husband). I'm glad I made the list (ha!). Even so, my husband absolutely does not cry, so this felt like the first little bit of true emotion and recognize for what he's done.
I'm not sure that he is crying because "what he's done." I think he is crying because it seems to be over with OW. At least for the time being. They left them selves an opening in case she can't fix things with her BS. Please don't read to much into his tears. I think if you do it could hurt you more later.
Please take care and stay on that 180. Good Job
Sorry if that is harsh. I've been through this same thing- she's my friend, I can still talk to her and it is ok, you don't get to choose my friends, blah blah bullshit.
This. Does. Not. Work.
As we say, you are either all in or all out. He is cake eating all over you and in complete BS fog. Save yourself and 180. I kicked the Dooosh out after I realized he was choosing her "friendship" (aka continuing his affair) with her over the sanctity of our marriage vows.
Sorry. This doesn't look like he gets it At All.

Anonymous said: Yo dude, not a question, just a heads up...
@simonkingesq is stealing your tweets... I didn't feel like mentioning you on Twitter, so I found you here.
Thanks for having my back, Anonymous. Nothing upsets me more than racists, the British, and people who steal tweets. As far as I know, @simonkingesq is ALL THREE. The worst part is that in one of my tweets he posted, he changed "James Franco" to "Eric Pickles". "Who the heck is Eric Pickles?!" I wondered. A British politician, it turns out. But I had to look him up on Wikipedia, and I will NEVER forgive @simonkingesq for that.
Anyway, I wish I could thank you personally, but you know, the whole anonymity thing. I understand your reasons for it, of course. You assumed that if I knew who you were, I'd track you down and give you back the cursed monkey's paw you gave me all those years ago, knowing the pain it has brought anyone who happens to be unfortunate enough to be in possession of it. You know me all too well, Anonymous. You know me all too well.
Here is a gratuitous slideshow of my first experience with Fruitstripe gum since the early years of my childhood at Oakbridge Asylum for the Criminally Insan— Elementary School. Oakbridge Elementary School.
Anyway I would say the flavor lasts about the same amount of time as I can stand listening to a song by that Lady Gaga dude everyone's always talking about. Which is to say not more than about a second and a half.
I feel like I'm supposed to remember something about this place, but for the life of me I have no idea what it is… It's definitely NOT the Mexican restaurant where I found a hair in my enchilada. It's gotta be either the place we had Rick's bachelor party or that Jazzercise studio I'm not allowed to go back to anymore. :(
I'm a man of few words. Mainly these ones: hatred, spite, insecurity, waffles.
Still, I believe I've learned a thing or two about LIFE and the freaking HUMAN CONDITION during my time in this crazy world, so I decided to compile everything I know into this post, which I call ADVICE FOR PEOPLE NAMED "KEITH". So here you go, Keiths:
'Sup dudes! How are things? Not good, probably. I know. It's tough out there for a Keith. You've had a hard time finding prospective employers willing to look past your neck tattoos and you're forced to change meth dealers so often you can't remember the prison nickname of the one who'd always been your favorite. Snake-something, or something-Dawg. SnakeDawg? No, that wasn't it.
Anyway, like I said, it's tough being a Keith. I'm sure you wish you'd been born in this past decade, a time when mothers have the foresight to give their sons names like Hayden, or Aidan, or Jaden, or Bentley.
If you do, CUT IT OUT. That's dumb. Those names are stupid. If you're going to wish anything, you should wish to have been born 150 years ago, when men had REAL names, like Rutherford B. Hayes and Chesterton Scowlesworth. No Keiths back then, that's for sure. You know, now that I think about it, this isn't so much "advice" as much as it is me making fun of you.
I suppose if there's one thing to take away here, it's this: change your name. It's easy. Lots of people do it. Just start calling yourself something crazy, like Garbageman or Funk. Problem solved!
Well, that's it I guess. Hopefully you feel a lot better. I know I do.
*Additional note to self: Seriously. Don't forget to fix the title. I bet you will, you moron.
Do you ever think maybe you'll be the first person to live forever thanks to your impeccable fitness regimen and homemade protein shakes that contain 30% whale butter and over 43% live bees, only to realize that in order to reach your goal of being the world's oldest hermaphrodite you should really cut back on all the risky activities you participate in, like skydiving, practicing "Pražnjenje Želuca"- the ancient Croatian art of competitive vomiting, and sharing underwear with Courtney Love?

It's been a while since we've heard anything about Sebastien Bourdais. The French driver took the Champ Car title four years running, but when the call came to move up to F1 courtesy of Scuderia Toro Rosso, Bourdais suffered a disappointing stint, prompting his mid-season replacement with rookie driver Jaime Alguersuari.
Bourdais went on to race in Superleague Formula and at Le Mans with Peugeot, but now reports indicate that he could be eying a return to American open-wheel racing in the IndyCar Series that replaced the league he dominated for years.
The Frenchman who made his name in Champ Cars reportedly tested for Dale Coyne Racing this past week, showing promising results with the IndyCar team. While Bourdais may have nothing left to prove in Indy racing, a return to winning form could be just what the doctor ordered for his currently stagnant career.

I'll be upfront with you and say that I don't know an awful lot about nodules, but we do have an excellent interview with a rheumatologist where we asked all kinds of questions about nodules, so that might give you more information. However, I would also definitely recommend that you speak to your rheumatologist about this. You mentioned that you've been on a lot of different meds over the years, but nothing has helped - have you tried a different Biologics? Currently, there are nine different Biologics available on the market and some of them have help people who haven't had anything work before (e.g., Rituxan). Check out Lisa Emrich's series of posts on Biologics for more information.
let us know how things go, please?
nodules actually go away when swelling and your RA is suppressed. All the ones on my hands (fingers, knuckles and wrists), my arms (near my elbows) and shins have all come and gone over the years. I used to think they were like bone spurs. I was wrong.
Yes, the ones near my elbows were about as large as that. I didn't actually measure.
But as I mentioned, they do come and go. They are not attached to bone. Over the last 26 years, I cannot tell you how many I have seen throughout my body. And as fast as they appear, they have disappeared. My RA at this time is also going unsuppressed, however, I am nodule free for the moment.
As a heads up, if you would like to know more about having them removed, please consult your dermatologist. They will probably attempt a small biopsy first to test for malignancy before moving forward with any type of removal. I do believe if removal is deemed necessary, the procedure is done with a laser as if removing a tatoo. But ask you rheumie for a referral to a dermatologist.

Air France - Air France - I am writing to complain about the appalling level of service experienced as a passenger on Air France flight AF2898 from Paris Charles de Gaul (CDG) to St. Petersburg Pulkova (LED)
Posted on Wednesday, August 18th, 2004 at 12:00am CDT by dfc8e391
Company: Air France
Location: ST. PETERSBURG, RU
Category: Airlines
I am writing to complain about the appalling level of service experienced as a passenger on Air France flight AF2898 from Paris Charles de Gaul (CDG) to St. Petersburg Pulkova (LED). The events that took place are as follows:
My wife, four year old daughter and mother in law were traveling together from a holiday and arrived five hours in advance of this flight. We waited in the 2B terminal for appropriate check-in information to be displayed on the monitors. We waited for hours. I travel frequently and assured my family that if check-in started an announcement would be made on the PA system and the monitors would display the appropriate check in desk. After we noticed that other flights with similar departure times were already being checked-in we started to worry. We walked across the entire terminal carefully checking each monitor at each desk for our flight number or destination. NOTHING. So then we walked down the terminal ASKING EVERY check-in desk if they were servicing our flight. My wife and mother in law were in a panic and my daughter was tired of us having to search for our flight. Finally at check-in desk four the woman said she was servicing our flight. There was nothing on the monitor indicating that this was our check in desk, the monitor was blank blue.
The Air France employee snapped that we were late and that check in was closing. I informed her that the monitors were not displaying the flight and pointed out the monitor behind her. Her immediately response was that the monitors WERE displaying the information. I politely told her that this was simply not true and that she was wrong. At which time she said that due to my late arrival she could not seat us together and in fact would put us all in different seats around the airplane (including my 4 year old daughter). I told her that this was not really fair as the fact that we were late was due to Air France not posting the information on the monitors that we had been here waiting. She snapped back at me again insisting that the check-in information was on the monitors. I am a patient person. I live in Russia, a country that is not known for high levels of service, so I am used to this and I know how to ignore it and move on to get things done. BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED SO BADLY.
The fact that she directly and wrongly accused me of lying or of being stupid (that the monitors were displaying the information) is unacceptable. The fact that she would use an unfriendly and condescending tone of voice telling me in front of my family is criminal. I told her that the monitors were not showing the information and that she should get someone that could insure that we were given appropriate seating for a family and that someone should apologize for her behavior. She became very rude and raised her voice at me several times. I informed her that her behavior was unacceptable and that I wanted to speak with someone else. She called her superior.
I assumed that this was one tired and incompetent employee. I own my own company and understand that not all are effectively trained and that everyone has a bad day. I was confident that the whole situation would be resolved with an apology and we could simply switch seats with other travelers once we boarded the plane. But unfortunately it became worse. The superior who responded looked at the situation by speaking with her assistant - refusing to allow me to speak. Finally I asked her name. She rudely told me she would not tell me her name and that I had no right to ask her that. She rudely asked me what I thought I was doing by asking her name when I was allowed to speak. I was appalled. Is it not common courtesy and general tradition to introduce oneself when speaking to someone? She had all my information before her on my tickets and yet I am expected to not be allowed to know who I am speaking to?
After she finished berating me for asking her name I told her the check-in desk number was not displayed on the monitors and she savagely yelled that it was, insinuating (in front of my family) that I was stupid. As I stated before, I am a business owner. I have over 80 employees and spend a lot of time on customer service and handling complaints. One of the first rules is to introduce oneself. The second is not to call your customer an idiot, at least not in front of him/her, and even if it is true. The third rule is to accept that perhaps a mistake was made and to try to rectify the problem immediately, not to try to assign blame or win the argument - this can always be done later when one is calmer and able to access the data. But this was not her tactic. She continued to sneer and tell me that the information was on the monitors and that I was late. I pointed out the blank screen behind her - she ignored my comment. I tried to explain that I had been watching the monitors for 3 hours. Not letting me speak, the supervisor continued to insist that this was my fault and that the information was posted on the monitors. She again refused to introduce herself.
I asked her if this was part of the customer service training that she had received at Air France and, sarcastically, she told me "Yes, we are instructed to be rude to our clients!" I insisted that I be allowed to tell her my side of the story. At which point she jerked the boarding passes that her assistant had been producing and told me that she would no longer allow me to proceed with check-in. I told her that she was being unreasonable, over-defensive and aggressive.
At this point she then threatened to take me to the police. As the stand-off continued I saw that my wife and mother in law, not understanding as they do not speak French, were near tears at witnessing the screaming that I was subjected to and the realization that we may not be going home any time soon. So I asked the supervisor and assistant to please continue with the check-in. They took full advantage of their position of power to continue to unkindly berate me as they finalized the check-in process. They saw that I was placed in a position that I could not protect my rights and enjoyed their chance to abuse.
This is not only unacceptable and criminal it is plain evil. I have related this story to several of my friends and colleague in my community. Some of hose who fly from Paris to St. Petersburg often have told me that this flight notoriously does not post the gate or check-in desk. One even said that he warns people flying this route to ask immediately each desk. One person even told me that he had missed this flight because he was waiting for the monitor to show the check-in desk and that it never showed it and when he went to the information desk to inquire shortly before take-off time he was told it was too late.
If this is some kind of cost savings technique or if the staff forgets to post the information at least they could write the flight number or "St. Petersburg" on a piece of paper and place it on the check-in desk where people can see it. In my case, on the 16th, I think the supervisor had simply forgotten - as she seemed to be so defensive as to be trying to hide something. But the issue is not the lack of the information but the rude, aggressive and ugly manner in which they handled my comments. The whole situation would have been avoided if they had just apologized and told me that they would make sure to try to make the information more visible in the future. I own shares in Air France and KLM, I was a client for business and pleasure fairly often. I no longer want to be associated with a company that can treat its clients in the ways that I witnessed that day. I would like a written apology and explanation. I also think that it is time to seriously examine your employee training and hiring practices and improve them. Until I get this and/or some other symbolic compensation I will not be flying your airline.

Cookin with The Columns: Casserole, anyone?
I've told you before that I love asparagus. It's one of my favorite vegetables. I really prefer fresh aspargus but this one's a good casserole with the canned kind. I think you could do the same casserole with fresh peas and fresh asparagus (just cook them first before making the casserole!) But this is a quick casserole to make if you just want something different for dinner.

OK... I need some help.All of our TVs are on converters except for one which is in our guest room. It is a digital ready TV and the cable is connected directly to it. My problem is trying to get a list of channels supported.- The QAM channel lineup doesn't match (expected) (»brighthouse.com/static/documents···neup.pdf)- The "standard" channel lineup matches up... to a point. I have many xx.y channels which appear on the TV but the "standard lineup" doesn't show them. (»applications.brighthouse.com/cha···ult.aspx)So... all I want is the BHN channel list I can view here in 32904 using the built-in converter in my TV.Does such a list exist?
FF I responded to both of your questions via IM. Edited as it does not apply to you...misread what you have already.
"DTA"? Ah... Digital Television Adapter. Well my TV is digital and the converter in built-in. Are you saying that an external DTA would be better than the built-in digital converter? After all, I receive the channels it's just that I can't find a list on BHN's site that tells me where is what.
Look up had to edit myself...sorry.

Please visit our fantastic new website by clicking this link!
By Sarah Taylor
Before I get going with this week's article, I have been asked by Eric and the Planet Waves team to write something about my own experience of Planet Waves and why it is that I have been a subscriber for some years now. Being terribly English, and subject to the unwritten law of self-deprecation and understatement, the only trumpet-blowing you'll typically find here is on the Judgement card. Having said that, I am passionate about those things that I value, and I value Planet Waves — what it stands for, what it offers, and its level of professionalism in a medium that often seems to want to prove everything to the contrary.
I came to Planet Waves through Jonathan Cainer several years ago — clicked on an article written by Eric, found the Planet Waves site, and kept coming back. As someone deeply interested in psychology and self-development, Planet Waves provided something I had rarely found before: the opportunity for inquiry and insight. It has provided support and validation. It has also been provocative and challenging, provoking and challenging me to start widening what were then all-too-narrow horizons. My life has changed immeasurably since I started reading it, and writing for it, and in no small part due to our meeting.
Having been a Web writer and content manager in my previous professional life, I know what it takes to publish online in terms of time, resources and manpower. The subscriber editions rival little else that I've seen in terms of content and production values; and I know first-hand that they have the ability to catalyse and effect change. If you feel at all moved to become part of something that can support, validate — and, yes, provoke and challenge — then click here to become a subscriber.

On a whim earlier this week, I decided to pull a card from the Thoth Tarot and use that as the basis for today's article. I work with the Thoth for most of my own readings, and it felt timely to go back to it. Yes, it tends to polarise people into 'love it'/'hate it' camps — most frequently due to one of its creators — but most people would be hard-pushed to refute that it is visually striking. I consider it one of the most beautiful tarot decks I have seen — and there are a lot out there.

The constitutional upheavals of the 17th century gave rise to the view of individual liberty to which we have basically subscribed ever since; that our liberty consists in our not being unnecessarily interfered with in the pursuit of our chosen ends. The lecture will argue that the entrenchment of this conception involved the rejection of a broader and more democratic view of what it means to be a free citizen. The lecture seeks to reconstruct the elements of this lost vision of freedom and invites us to consider its relevance for our present lives.

July 6th, 2012 | Flightlines | Posted by Kristin Davis
An Air Force Academy cadet helped save a life while in Washington, D.C. for a five-week internship at the Pentagon.
Early on June 9, Christopher Kirk, of Burlington, Iowa, headed back to his temporary lodging at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling on Interstate 495 when a car flew past him at about 100 mph, according to an academy news release. Moments later, he saw a flash of yellow in the distance. The car had crashed and exploded into flames.
Kirk and four other people stopped at the scene. As two of them tried to pull a victim from the car's backseat, Kirk grabbed him under his arms and helped pull him out. A driver and front seat passenger remained inside, the story said, but the flames beat back the rescuers.
Kirk focused his attention on the passenger they managed to remove from the car, giving him first aid and working to stabilize the man as he drifted in and out consciousness. The victim was later airlifted to a local hospital and is expected to survive, the story said, though he suffered severe burns.
"You know, you see that stuff in the movies all the time and so actually being involved was pretty foreign and surreal to me," Kirk was quoted as saying.
He said basic military training taught him how to deal with the stress of the situation and also to provide basic medical care.
"I was in the right place at the right time," Kirk said. "I did what I though anyone else would do and tried to keep calm and keep my bearing and let the training take over."
This blog shows the value of the Air Force Academy and the training involved to become an Air Force officer. C1C Kirk expedited to the accident and took the appropriate actions to reach the car victim in time. It's reassuring to know that the SABC training and stress management, learned from the Academy, came with ease to Kirk. I commend him on his courage and professionalism.

"Both series will award all expense paid trips to the Granja Viana"
Article By: Race Tech Development
December 10, 2013 - Looking to provide an equal and level playing field for all of their teams andcompetitors, the United States Pro Kart Series (USPKS)and Route 66 Sprint Series program will make the switch to the MG Tire brand for all series classes. Proven to be successful and consistent in some of North America's top karting series, USPKS and Route 66 drivers will enjoy the added benefits with an association with the Brazilian tire manufacturer.
"We are very pleased to put a deal together with MG Tires for both the programs," expressed seriesowner Mark Coats. "With our new relationship, all USPKS and Route 66 classes will utilize the MG tire brand. Not only will MG be on all drivers karts, but they will also award one driver from each series an amazing prize package."
With the final prize packages for both series still being put together, MG Tires has stepped up to the plate and will award one competitor from both the United States Pro Kart Series and the Route 66 Series an all expense paid trip to the 2014 Granja Viana 500. Taking place at the Kartódromo Beto in the south of Brazil, two lucky and deserving drivers will make the trek to South America during late November to compete against the likes of Tony Kannan, Nelson Piquet Jr., Rubens Barrichello and Felipe Giaffone who all competed in this year's event. Beto Carrero is the 'Disneyland' of Brazil with a wonderful park with an incredible racetrack and facility.
Coats added, "The Granja Viana 500 is like no other karting event in the world. It is a spectacle of drivers in full-bodied karts battling wheel-to-wheel for 500 miles. I have only seen photos and videos online but I hope to be able to attend next year's race."
With the announcement of MG being the official tire for USPKS and Route 66, two different compounds will be used. The Sportsman divisions will run the harder MG HZ tire, more commonly noted as the MG Red while all other classes will run the MG FZ or yellow branded MG tire. All classes will utilize the MG WT tires for wet weather conditions.
"The opportunity to work with the USPKS program in 2014 is very exciting for us," explained Wagner Rossi of MG Tires. "Mark has put together an excellent program that promotes fairness and an equal playing field for all of their drivers. The promotion of a fun, family oriented series is something that was needed throughout the Midwest."
Rossi continued, "We are proud to be part of the series and like Mark, we will work with and listen to the praises and concerns of the series participants to keep our product as good and reliable as possible. We look forward to building a long and healthy relationship with the series, drivers and teams."
With several more announcements forthcoming from the United States Pro Kart Series and Route 66 Sprint Series, please stay tuned for information regarding online registration, class, event and series sponsors, exciting prize package and information regarding the 2014 class structure and complete schedule.
For more information on the United States Pro Kart Series, please visit them online at www.USPKS.com or contact Mark Coats via e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com . For information on the Route 66 Sprint Series, please visit them online at www.Route66KartRacing.com or contact via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com .

Ballard Inspired Joyeux Noël Pillow
And here is my inspiration from Ballard Designs! I fell in love immediately, but it was $69 (on sale right now for $49) and that's just out of my price range! Sooo…I knew I had to copy it…with one exception…I wanted red and white French ticking instead of black. I love the look, but it just doesn't say Christmas to me!
Here's what I did:
1. I already had a 16" x 16" down pillow insert from Goodwill (under $3.00) and fabric for the pillow itself. I created an iron-on transfer for the wording which I have included for you in the next photo. I attached it according to directions on the package and then sewed the two pieces of fabric right sides together, turned, filled and stitched closed.
2. I drew the triangle for the tree and then cut it into six segments as a pattern, using scraps from three different fabrics. I pinned the fabric in place on the pillow. My tree is a little bigger than theirs since theirs seemed small to me.
3. I hot-glued the fabric down using small dots of glue in several places.
4. Theirs has a twine trunk beneath the fabric pieces, but I wanted mine on top, so I hot-glued it in place after tying knots on each end.
Here's the graphic for the wording. It must be printed as is…backwards…on the iron-on transfer paper. It will be right side up once it is in place. I printed it in 8x10 format with Photoscape.
Finally, I added a little bow on top! Total money spent…none…since I already had everything I needed ! Sooo…it was free…woo hoo!…instead of their $49 on sale! Love it!
Of course, my handsome co-host had to check it out. Hmmm…I see that he is double-checking my spelling and accent marks! No worries, Baby Kitty, it's correct! :-)
And there you have it…my Ballard inspired Joyeux Noël pillow! Whew! Time is flying by and I still have a few more projects to squeeze in. Will I make it? Time will tell!

Hi Debbie,ReplyDelete
You never cease to amaze me with your talent! This pillow is so cute and looks exactly like PB's.

Beautifully done, Debbie! I actually came over to see your version of the PB poinsettia pillow from Linda's blog, but I'm glad I saw this one.

This is a brilliant work of art that I call "Midterms". Note the bleakness of the background, the odd angle of the lighting, the abject misery and despair of the subject, and the low quality of the image, which metaphorically demonstrates the fuzziness in the mind of the subject, who hasn't had any coffee for about sixteen hours.

|soon to be lean
Ok, so I am 148 pounds. 2 Days ago I was 150 pounds. 2 Days ago I also went on the no meats no sweets diet.
I do not eat any sweets/deserts/sugary cereals.
I do not eat red meat or chicken. (Will eat fish but have not yet)
Having been getting my protein from milk.
A meal consists of....
large bowl of salad with italian dressing
whole wheat roll
two glasses of 2% milk
(Sometimes substitute salad with 2 vegetables...broccoli/green beans
I take a multi vitamin and omega 3 daily
I already feel leaner and think I would be a machine at 140 pounds. I'm about to run my first 8k which is why I am being more weight consious.
How is this diet? Is it lacking anything essential?
its lacking meat. Eat more meat.
You will be healthy, lose weight, and will be faster; just make sure you get enough protein, complex carbs, fruits and vegetables.
|i do it for the lolz
there's probably corn syrup in your italian dressing champ.
i'd say you're still missing protein. and you didn't tell us what's in your salad.
Its 50% good.
Change that to a No Sweets deal.
Better yet is no sugar/no white flour...try to avoid as much stuff that you get out of a box.
also lay off the rice/rolls
you dont need both in one meal
|taper madness
Not eating meat is going to do nothing to make you leaner and is only going to make you angry deep down.
The vegs I know are sick/injured all the time. I would never even think about saying that it could be the meatless diet. But yet I always think it to myself.
I know of 4 sub 14:00 minute guys that are vegetarians. They are thinner and more muscular. Meat eating is overrated. Protein can be find in a fast array of other foods (beans, peanut butter, milk) that don't aren't filled with omega 6 fat and toxins.
|majiclee deelishus
Add meat (lots). Dump or cut down on the bread. Dump the milk. Dump or cut down on the rice.
True, but B-Vitamins cannot.
|worth it?
Just as a general question to those in this thread: is the loss of 4 pounds or whatever really worth the cutting out of all desserts and breads?
Also, when you cut out grains substantially, how do you get enough calories if you're running 70mpw?
Let me be the 4th to say to eat meat.
And again, it won't make you bulky, fat, or less lean.
|taper madness
Uh huh. They are scarfing down a burger and steak at least once every few months and then don't say anything about it.
If your worried about unhealthy side effects of meat, then cut out beef and steak and things off that variety.
Lena chicken, pork and fish can all be very healthy, there's nothing wrong with eating these with regularity.
|Phil W.
Don't listen to the anti-meat clowns. Been a vegetarian for nine years. Here's the scoop with the meat:
If you eat a healthy diet with moderate amounts of meat, it will maximize performance. If you eat a healthy vegetarian diet, it will maximize performance. The key? Healthy diets maximize performance. Meat is neither a necessity nor a hindrance.
The key is HEALTH and nutritional quality, not the presence or absence of meat. Lots of complex carbs, fruits and veggies, beans, enough soy, meat and/or dairy to get your RDI of protein, the other good stuff mentioned previously, and you're solid.
Do what works for your body. If what you are doing is working, other suggestions don't really matter.
And, to the earlier poster who said vegetarians cheat and eat meat every now and then-- sorry to burst your bubble, but most don't. Including those who have much faster times than you (and me too, by a long shot).
What happens to excess glucose in the body if it isn't stored as glycogen? It's stored as fat. Doesn't matter if it's from sugar or bread. The insulin spike from white bread is still a high spike compared to say broccoli. Increased insulin levels make your body store more fat.
Granted, eliminating sweets is a great idea....replacing meat with bread is not.
What about eggs? You can get all the protein you need from eggs and milk....but the problem with milk is intolerance. Most people, about 75%, are not able to digest the sugars in milk properly.
Why elimate red meat? Make the better choice and eliminate GRAIN fed beef. Only consume GRASS fed LEAN beef. I could go into why..but I want you to do your own homework.
Eat a natural diet. If you're going to consume mass quantities of carbs then this limits you to: fruit, rice, oats, potatoes, beans, etc...stuff you could basically grow yourself if you really really had to. I don't think they make a bread tree....:) Eat food that is processed as little as possible.
|what to eat?
for those of you who say no meat, rice, processed carbs, or sweets... what do you eat?
I couldn't imagine getting enough carbs without pasta, rice, and bread. Do you really just eat fruits and veggies? How on earth do you get enough calories?
i'm eating a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese.
In May of this year I decided to switch my diet to 80% raw foods and fish. Since May I have been training 100-120mpw and I get stronger everyday. I owe my quick recovery and ability to train at this level to my consistent diet. After 2 weeks on the diet I went from 155lbs to 144lbs and I have been steady at 144 ever since. For reference I am 6 foot 3. One month ago I eliminated fish from my diet after reading the book Skinny Bastard (great book!) and that has improved my output and recovery even more. Another marathoner in town adopted this same diet and has dropped to his optimum marathoning weight.
What I eat is simple:
Breakfast: 60 ounces of smoothie- oj, pineapple, strawberry, mango and soy protein
9am-Raw Bar--Lara Bar, two if still hungry
Green tea all morning
10am-another raw bar
noon-32 ounce smoothie with soy protein-all fruit
2-3 bananas
cashews, almonds, dried figs
1 or two raw lara bars
green tea all afternoon
After run 50 ounce smoothie with pineapple, oj, strawberry, mango and soy protein
Dinner: First cooked food of day- whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread, lots of veggies- mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, zuchini, asparagus, green beans, cucumbers, etc.
This diet has been essential for my training and recovery. Everyone should read Skinny Bastard and at the end of the book you will be suprised how many bad ass athletes are vegan, including Carl Lewis who adopted this lifestyle and then had his best year ever on the track!
Happy training!
You're making this WAY to complicated. Feast on 1000 grams of protein powder per day.
In one week you will weigh 230 pounds and run an 8K like a turbo charged bowling ball.

2011 Toyota Tundra Recalls
Vehicles have a tire size/weight rating label to inform owners of the carrying capacity of their vehicle. These models are being recalled because the incorrect vehicle weight rating is shown on the information label. This could result in vehicle and tire overloading, increasing the risk of tire failure. Owners will be provided an updated vehicle weight label to correct this concern.
Gulf States Toyota is recalling 502 vehicles due to an incorrect load capacity label. An incorrect label could lead to vehicle overloading, resulting in tire failure and increasing the risk of a crash. Gulf States will provide a corrected label. Dealers install the correct label upon request.
Southeast Toyota is recalling 1629 vehicles because the tire pressure monitoring system may not have been calibrated correctly. As a result, the low tire pressure warning lamp may not illuminate if tire pressure drops. Operating the vehicle on under-inflated tires can result in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will recalibrate the system to correct this concern. This recall is expected to begin during May of 2011.

Science fiction took a grim turn in the 1970s--the heyday of Agent Orange, nuclear peril, and Watergate. Suddenly, most of our possible futures took on a "last man on Earth" flavor, with The Omega Man topping the doom-struck heap. Charlton Heston plays the government researcher behind the ultimate biological weapon, a deadly plague that has ravaged humanity. There are two groups of survivors: a dwindling band of immune humans and an infected, psychopathic mob of light-hating quasi-vampires. The infected are led by Mathias, a clever, charismatic man set on destroying the last remnants of the civilization that produced the plague. Heston has a vaccine--but he and the few remaining normals are outnumbered and outgunned. By day, he builds a makeshift version of the nuclear family (with Rosalind Cash as his afro-wearing, gun-toting little lady). They plan for the future while roaming freely through an empty urban landscape, taking what few pleasures life has left. By night, they defend themselves against the growing horde of plague victims. Both a bittersweet romance and a gothic cautionary tale, The Omega Man paints a convincing portrait of hope and despair. It ain't pretty, but it's a great movie. --Grant Balfour
One creature, caught. Caught in a place he cannot stir from in the dark, alone, outnumbered hundreds to one, nothing to live for but his memories, nothing to live with but his gadgets, his cars, his guns, gimmicks... and yet the whole family can't bring him down from that, that...
Honky paradise, brother?
Forget the old ways, brother, all the old hatreds.

Smart Water has just gotten cooler with Idris Elba
September 7, 2011 by AVReporter · Leave a Comment
Smart Water has just gotten cooler with suave and sexy new face, Idris Elba. The Ghanaian Brit Actor is featured in print Ads for the water brand which is owned by Coca Cola, looking dapper as ever. The Ads will run in GQ, Essence and Men's Journal Magazines.
The fall campaign ads were shot earlier this summer by noted fashion photographer Norman Jean Ray and feature Elba in different scenes incorporating Smart Water into his daily lifestyle.
Idris takes over from Jennifer Aniston as the face of the water brand which is enhanced with electrolytes. The stunning Hollywood actress showed off her enviably athletic frame in last year's adverts.
Which of these Hollywood hunks is hottest?

Idris Elba preparing new album
August 19, 2009 by Mazuba Kapambwe · Leave a Comment
Many fans fell in love with half Ghanian -half Sierra-Leonian actor Idris Elba when he appeared on the hit show 'The Wire'. He went on to star in films like Tyler Perry's "Daddy's Little Girls" and the block-buster hit thriller "Obsessed", and can now be seen on NBC's "The Office".
Now that he has conquered the film circuit, the smooth talking star who moved from Britain to the USA a few years ago to broaden his acting career is ready to add the title of singer to his resume.
This decision shouldn't come as a surprise to die-hard fans who know that Idris already produced an album called "Big Man" that wasn't commercially released.This new album, tentatively titled "King Amongst Kings" will feature four to six tracks, one of them being a reaggae influenced song called "Please Be True".
"A lot of people are just getting over the fact that I'm not playing gangsters", he said (referring to his stint on 'The Wire'), "And now I'm singing.This is a new side I'm Offering".
In the interview with Essence magazine, Idris offered no release date, but mentioned that he will star in three new films. He will play a soldier affected by post-traumatic stress in the movie 'Legacy', and will star alongside TI in 'Takers'. He is also working with actress Zoe Saldana in 'The Losers'
Which of these actors will you like to see as James Bond (OO7)?
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje | Nigeria
Boris Kodjoe | Ghana
Chiwetel Ejiofor | Nigeria
Djimon Hounsou | Benin
Idris Elba | Ghana
It's good to be Idris
April 21, 2009 by AVReporter · Leave a Comment
It's a good time to be Idris Elba, former star of The Wire. The 36-year is currently playing the new Dunder-Mifflin exec on The Office, and will be seen in theaters on April 24 in the drama Obsessed, opposite Beyonce Knowles and Ali Larter.
What was it like for him to work with Beyonce?
"I think this was a very important role for her, because it was the first time she wasn't playing a singer. But when we first started taping, it was difficult for us to really connect as artists because she has such a huge machine behind her. So in the early going it felt divided … almost like it was her and her team on one side, and everyone else on the other. But once the cameras started rolling, she really opened up and those walls began to fall. As a result, I really saw her grow as an artist, and I think you'll be able to see it as well when you watch the film."
Now he's closing in on a a role in the Warner Bros.-Dark Castle thriller Losers, with Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen). Elba is negotiating to play Roque, a black ops commando set up by the government. The project is based on a DC-Vertigo comic and will be directed by Sylvain White (Stomp the Yard).

It could not be fixed with medicine or diet and exercise.
My surgery went very well. I experienced very little swelling which went down rather quickly. It has been six weeks and I feel like a new person. For the first time in three years I took my shirt off at the beach and didn't feel in the least bit self conscious.
I would recommend Dr Blau to anyone in search for male breast reduction surgery for gynecomastia.
Thanks for sharing your experience, athlete. Do you have any pics you can share? We'd love to see how the final result turned out.

- 0Feb 6, '13 by JuanabePHNurseHello All,
So I just found out today that I take a medication exam for UPMC Mercy during week one of orientation. Does anyone know what this medication exam consists of and any resources to study from? Any medications to be especially aware of? Thanks!
- 5,671 Visits
- 0Feb 7, '13 by tyvinYou have to consider what you are being hired to do. If it's mental health then study common psych meds, LTC/SNF; there going to ask you if you know what an MDS is, cancer ward is obvious, etc... Usually the test is generic and will ask basic info on common meds for whatever you're being hired for, a few calculations, and basic nurse questions.
What position is it?
- 0Feb 7, '13 by JuanabePHNurseIt is a psych position. I guess I was stressing out bc this is my first nursing job since I graduated in September. Luckily, I got a call from nursing educator today who reassured me it is nothing to stress about as it is generic and it sounds like we will have some review with nurse educators prior to exam, plus a second chance to pass. I already cracked out my lab values, previous med math tests, and psych meds. I will do the same with basic group medications. Will focus on s/e, indications, contraindications. Will post updates later once I pass Must admit though, this is a good way to refresh pharm and to be that much better of a nurse.
- 0Feb 7, '13 by JustBeachyNurseDuplicate threads merged
- 1Feb 7, '13 by tyvinAlright...review tardive dyskinsea and other related side effects of psych meds and which psych meds can cause it and other forms, know what foods are not compatible with MOAI inhibitors and why, therapeutic levels of some psych meds (lithium), where psych Dx go on the Axis, milieus, the DSM, ECT, antidepressants, HIPAA, common psych Dx's; this should be a good start for you.
The exam won't just be on meds. Congratulations
- 0Feb 7, '13 by JuanabePHNurseThanks tyvin!
- 0Feb 8, '13 by PghRN30I just started at st margaret in jan. The test I think is same across hospitals. Basic calculation. Drip rates. Do you understand insulin.....like difference between basal and prandial coverage and what you would and would not give for npo pt type understanding. And knowing 5 rights of med administration
- 0Feb 8, '13 by PghRN30First week of orientation is all nurses orienting to hospital....all more genaric not unit specific type stuff. How to use charting system, different policy and equipment type things that are hospital or even UPMC wide that may not be same as where you went to school.
As important as knowing psych meds will be that is more something you will learn on your unit. This med test is entry into the job....are you safe to pass meds as a nurse. If dose is 500mg and you have 1g tablet do you know how much to give (if that is a calculation on the test that is just by chance.....I do not remeber the exact questions)
It is a very generic med calculation testLast edit by PghRN30 on Feb 8, '13
- 0Feb 14, '13 by JuanabePHNurseHey PghRN30 - thanks for the info as well. I ended up passing the exam - no prob. I stressed out too much about since it was, like you said very generic. Biggest thing that threw me off was peak rate of insulin. Even the one question they did require you know the antidote about was easy bc it was multiple choice and an obvious med.

The American Medical Association adopted new guidelines on Internet prescribing last month in an effort to help physicians avoid potential disciplinary actions and malpractice problems.
"The AMA supports the use of this new technology to help physicians care for their patients," said AMA President-elect John Nelson, M.D., in a press release. "Physicians can refer to these new guidelines as they integrate online prescriptions into their practices while continuing to provide high-quality care."
The guidelines are intended to protect patients from substandard medical care and physicians from potential disciplinary actions by state medical boards and other regulatory agencies. Since 1998, 27 of the 70 medical boards nationwide have disciplined doctors for improperly prescribing medications online, according to the Federation of State Medical Boards.
The most important advice to physicians from the AMA is that they should not prescribe medications online without first obtaining a medical history from the patient and performing a physical examination. Moreover, physicians should be sure to have a license in the state or states where their patients reside.
To protect patient privacy, the AMA recommends that physicians use a secure network with password requirements and prescription encryption. Medem Inc., for example, has these features. Medem was founded in 1999 by some of the nation's leading medical societies, including the AMA and APA.
The AMA also identified these safeguards for physicians who prescribe online:
• Have adequate dialogue with each patient about treatment options, risks, and benefits.
• Follow up with the patient as appropriate.
• Maintain an updated medical record that is readily available to the patient and to his or her other health care professionals, subject to the patient's consent.
• Include the electronic prescription information in the patient's medical record.
• Routinely transmit identifying information including full name, practice address, and financial interests in any products prescribed.
The AMA "Guidance for Physicians on Internet Prescribing" is posted on the AMA's Web site at www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/10292.html. ▪
