Tool-less chain tensioning is a convenient feature that allows you to adjust using a mechanism on the unit. A top handle on the unit is a a place to hold and grip the chain saw. Vibration reduction is more commonly found in gas chain saws; and it makes handling the chain saw much easier. Pole chain saws are longer units with the blade on the end of a pole, these have less power but make it easier to reach distant branches. Additional safety features can include chain guards, anti-vibration, and specially activated chain brakes.
|Chain Saw Features
|Additional Safety
Gas chain saws are typically the most powerful type but they also require the most maintenace because of the engine. Electric chain saws are bound by a cord and may need an extension cord depending on your location. They typically have less power than gas but require less maintenance and create much less polution. Battery powered chain saws combine the environmental benefit and power of electric with the maneuverability of gas.

Everybody is to blame for potential budget cuts
WASHINGTON — The White House and Republicans kept up the unrelenting mudslinging Sunday over who's to blame for roundly condemned budget cuts set to take effect at week's end, with the administration detailing the potential fallout in each state and governors worrying about the mess.
But as leaders rushed past each other to decry the potentially devastating and seemingly inevitable cuts, they also criticized their counterparts for their roles in introducing, implementing and obstructing the $85 billion budget mechanism that could affect everything from commercial flights to classrooms to meat inspections. The GOP's leading line of criticism hinged on blaming Obama's aides for introducing the budget trigger in the first place, while the administration's allies were determined to blame GOP stubbornness.

The Scariest Movie Characters Under 5 Feet Tall
I'm not the biggest fan of horror movies, however I can certainly appreciate when a director and writer can really scare the crap out of us movie goers. Personally I don't really get scared from gore or pus or anything like that.
What really freaks me out is when you take something innocent or even cute and turn it into something that goes completely rampant. And there's no better device than children and "cute" things to accomplish such a task.
Which is why I didn't want to limit this article to just children.
Here are the scariest movie characters under 5 feet tall
Warwick Davis! You gotta love this guy. The first Leprechaun movie definitely had a "Chucky" type feel to it. That character is definitely freaky and the face alone is worth the vomiting.
Samara in The Ring
I don't even want to discuss how scared I am of this character. I might have nightmares if I bring anything up.
Chucky in Child's Play
Let's face it. His face alone scares the living crap out of you. Granted they really didn't need to make any movies past the 1st, it's a great horror character.
Gage – Pet Sematary
Oddly enough this is the same kid who says "Boys have a penis, girls have a vagina" in Kindergarten Cop. Still though, he's scary as hell in this movie.
All of the kids in Village of the Damned
Whether it's the old version or the John Carpenter version from the 80s, these are kids I would not want to mess with. That movie was freaky as all hell.
Little Clown in Killer Klowns from Outer Space
All of the clowns are scary in this movie but if this little guys face doesn't freak you out then you need psychiatric help.
The Twins in The Shining
Forever and ever and ever.
Children in Children of the Corn
Why do people create these movies?
Ju On in The Grudge
The standard freakazoid kid in a horror movie has become a cliche thanks to the steady stream of Chinese, Japanese and Korean horror into the U.S., but for my money, this pasty-faced little cretin is about as scary as it gets
Child Vampire in Salem's Lot
"Can Danny come out and play"
Damien Thorn in The Omen
Literally Satan in the form of a human boy, he fills us with dread with his every look and movement, despite being an adorable little thing and not really doing anything evil himself per se in the entire flick
*and I'm not putting in that stupid little girl from Orphan. That movie is too dumb to be considered scary.

Good Sam On Your Side
Posted By Good Sam On January 1, 2013 @ 5:00 am In Action Line | No Comments
[4] Julie MacKinen of Battle Ground, Washington, contacted the Good Sam Club's consumer advocacy program, Action Line, when her extended warranty failed to cover the full cost of fixing her RV's air conditioner:
After arriving home from a three-month RV tour, we were looking forward to getting our bedroom air conditioner repaired through our extended warranty. The air conditioner blew warm air, but fortunately the living room air conditioner still worked. We took the RV in for repairs at Camping World of Wood Village, Oregon, and were told the air-conditioning unit needed to be replaced.
Camping World called our extended warranty company, Interstate National, and was told to go ahead with the replacement. When Camping World ordered the part, they were advised that the model is no longer being manufactured. A different model was required along with a new circuit board as an interface to make it run. Camping World then passed this information on to Interstate and was told they wouldn't cover the circuit board, as we didn't have one before, and the costs were to be paid by us, an additional $179.
We've tried to explain to Interstate that the air conditioner won't work without the circuit board and therefore should be included in the coverage. We've paid Camping World and are hoping that Interstate will reconsider and reimburse us for something that should have been a complete package.
After petitioning Interstate National Dealer Services on behalf of the MacKinens, Good Sam Action Line received the following reply from Grace Love in Interstate's paralegal department:
We reviewed this matter and spoke with Mr. MacKinen yesterday to inform him that a check will be mailed to him for the $179 reimbursement.
Shortly after that, Action Line received the following thank-you note from Julie MacKinen:
I just wanted to let you know that your intervention with Interstate has resolved our claim, and they have quickly sent us a check for the circuit board interface. So nice to have this forum to turn to when direct pleas fall on deaf ears! Thank you so much and glad you're on our side!
Since 1981, the Good Sam Club's Action Line has helped resolve thousands of disputes between members and businesses. If you have an RV-related consumer issue and would like assistance from Good Sam, contact Action Line [5].

CORPUS CHRISTI - Depression, OCD, ADD, Bipolar...these are all types of mental health issues that 1 in 4 Americans deal with but do not always get the proper care.
So in 2008 president George W Bush signed the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. That act stated that private health insurance companies could not charge a person a higher copay or limit their resources to mental health help.
Unfortunately, the act was not widely implemented by all insurance companies because of extra costs.
So on Friday the federal government announced that under the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies will have to incorporate what was manated in 2008. The estimated effect would impact 62 million Americans.
We talked to a woman who is diagnosed with clinical depression and had a tough time getting treatment for her bipolar daughter. She says it is great to see equal healthcare for mental health patients so they can get the treatment they need to look forward to life.

We haven't had great weather recently. It's been super cold. However, yesterday the sun came out and I decided we were going to go play. Cold or not. Tomorrow we are expected to get up to 6" of snow! So I was determined to get some outdoor time in before the blizzard of 2013.

ACC renews call for action on US rail competition
1:28 PM MST | February 4, 2013 | Kara Sissell
ACC says lack of competition among rail carriers continues to be a top concern for US chemical shippers, and higher shipping costs are increasingly seen to discourage investment in new or expanded facilities in the United States. More than two thirds of ACC members have sites that have access to a single Class I railroad, and rates for captive shippers are 30% higher than those for sites that are not captive to a single carrier, according to a survey of ACC members by Veris Consulting and commissioned by...

So I received and read this book this weekend. It was excellent. Chris Thomas was one of the last juveniles sentenced to death in Va. He and his girlfriend murdered her parents. She was 14, he was 17. She was sent to Juvie & freed at age 21 (with no felony record), he was executed in January 2000. This took place close to where my hubby grew up. I think this book is used as a textbook in some law classes. It was very informative about Virginia's death penalty and also very moving, a good story of redemption.
Another very interesting book I read about Virginia's death row is Dead Run by Joe Jackson. This chronicles the life of Dennis Stockton, who helped mastermind the infamous 1984 death row escape, although he didn't escape himself.
I highly recommend both of these books, if you are interested in the death penalty, and its effect on, well, everyone.
I took a class on deviance at U of Richmond awhile back, and the instructor used to work at the old Penitentiary. She worked there when this escape occurred, and talked about it in class. It was so funny. A lot of the criminal cases she mentioned were events with which I was familiar. I wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad thing!
I do find human nature fascinating.
Toddler Memory
I think the subject of memory is fascinating. I've repressed unpleasant memories; I can think of 2 I definitely suppressed, only to be reminded of them later, and remembering it happening. Huh-suppressed or repressed? Not sure.
Anyhow, I used to have this flash of a memory. In the memory I'm at my great Aunt Mary's river cottage, and my view is out the screen door, ground level. That's all the memory was. I loved Aunt Mary's cottage. There was a ladder leading up to a balcony that surrounded the whole place, where all the kids slept.
About 8 years ago an aunt passed, and my Mom's cousin, who is a bit younger than her told me when she saw me she remembered she and her husband babysitting me at the cottage when I was about 2. She said I crawled out the screen door. As soon as she told me that I "remembered" the scene and realized that was what I was remembering all these years. I was surprised a memory from that age would be even a little conscious.
Verrrry inter-esting, lol!
I leave you with a picture of a couple of felt bowls I made in a wet-felting class a few months ago.

Reading, read
So, I haven't posted since February. For some reason I haven't had the urge, although I've been reading. A lot. Here is a list of what I've read over the past 5 months since I last posted. Lots of nonfiction, as usual. For some reason basic true crime soothes my mind. I don't know why. Escape I guess.
I have highlighted the ones I would recommend you read. Usually they are ones that are written well, and tell a very interesting story. Unless I said I hated it, the others are definitely readable, especially Caitlin Rother. Anyhoo, here it is:
The New Colossus-historical fiction by Marshall Goldberg, who is also a very interesting person. I read it today. Instead of doing anything else.
Missy's Murder-Karen Kingsbury
And Then She Killed Him – Robert Scott
I Forgot to Remember – Su Meck (so excellent, stayed up all night reading it.)
Deadly Pretender – Karen Kingsbury
Murder-Murder – John White
Empty Mansions – Bill Dedman & Paul Clark Newell, Jr. (about heiress Huguette Clark–very good)
Wishing for Snow – Minrose Gwin (a memoir, very good read.)
I'll Take Care of You – Caitlin Rother
One To the Wolves – Lois Duncan (part 2 of her memoirs about the murder of her daughter. She is a tween author.)
Death Sentence – Jerry Bledsoe (about Velma Barfield, serial killer)
Benghazi "The Definitive Report" editors of Sofrep.com Jack Murphy & Brandon Webb–interesting take on John Brennan's culture in US defense, but I don't trust the authors. (don't recommend)
Beyond His Control – Linda Hale Bucklin (memoir, pretty good)
Marked For Death – Brian J. Karem
Informally Educated – Kennesaw Taylor (memoir, pretty good)
Die, My Love – Kathryn Casey (about a murder that occurred here in Richmond, interesting)
Brain on Fire – Susannah Cahalan (excellent read about her experience with a serious illness.)
The Death of Judy Huscher - Laura McNeal
Eye Contact – Morrison Bonpasse & Chad Evans (this book was weird, but I read it.) (don't recommend)
Little Girl Lost – Tammy Mal
Fourteen – The Murder of David Stukel – Bill O'Connelli
Pop. 1280 – Jim Thompson (good book, Thompson was an inspiration to Stephen King.)
Prisoners of Fear – Gera-lind Kolarik (don't remember anything about it)
Righteous Carnage – Timothy Benford, James Johnson (about the John List murders. I think I also read it years ago but didn't remember.)
My Stolen Son – Susan Markowitz (sad story, excellent representation of grief)
Son of a Grifter – Kent Walker w/ Mark Schone (this was good, it was about Sante Krimes & Kenneth Krimes, written by Sante's eldest son, who had a hard time escaping his mother's clutches.)
I'll Be Watching You – William Phelps, who titles some of his books after Police songs.
Murderer with a Badge – Edward Humes I would recommend it. Humes is a good writer.
Lost Girls – Caitlin Rother
Shattered Justice – John Philpin
The Savage Murder of Skylar Neese – Daleen Berry & Geoffrey Fuller
Sister of Silence: A Memoir – I re-read this by Daleen Berry. I love this book. She is such a survivor
Let's Talk About Race
My anger and frustration over the murder of Jordan Davis is what made me decide to blog about this today. The man who shot and killed him wasn't convicted of murder. Thankfully, it was a mistrial and he will be tried again. Ta-Nehisi Coates addresses it here.
I chatted with a co-worker named Bea today. She, like me, was born in the Tidewater area of Virginia. A lot of eastern North Carolinians ended up in Tidewater. She lived in Edenton, where one of my sisters was born. I mentioned fondly the town of Belhaven, where I spent a lot of time as a child. Bea is African American, so I realized she may not have fond memories of North Carolina. I mentioned this to her. She was surprised to hear me acknowledge that.
She's about 15 years older than me, and lived in Tidewater as a child. She remembers going to the back of the town restaurant (Grant's) to get food to go, because blacks were not allowed to eat there. She remembers the insurance salesman (always white) who came to their house to sell insurance over the years, and her father never feeling like he could look him in the eye, even in his own house.
She said I was the first white person to ever mention things like this to her. Bea is 65. She couldn't believe I knew about white privilege and sundown towns. My beloved Belhaven was a sundown town. I'm not sure if it was a posted rule, but here's how it went: Black people were expected to be at home by sundown. There was a 4 hour window each week when black folks could shop downtown. On Saturdays, by 2 pm there would be no whites downtown. From 2 until 6pm, blacks did their weekly shopping. These are things I didn't notice as a child. What I did notice was my grandmother lamenting black people walking by her house on Main Street. She didn't feel it should be allowed. Belhaven is on the water and there is a public beach. I do remember the beach becoming integrated. I remember this because I wasn't allowed to go to the beach anymore, and that was why.
Bea related a story to me about stopping in Tennessee en route to Oklahoma when her husband was in the service. It was 1975, and she had young children. First the owner of the restaurant called her husband "Boy." The waitress took their order and brought their food. After they had eaten, the restaurant staff brought a trash can to the table and threw everything away, in front of them. Plates, silverware, glasses and the trash. Please imagine for one minute how that would make you feel.
Please read Ta-Nehisi Coates' article. Please try to understand centuries of feeling less than a total person, or lack of awareness that others unlike us may have that feeling. It doesn't go away with the Civil Rights Act. Or the Voting Act. Young black boys have to be so very careful how they act in public, lest anyone become afraid of them without provocation, just because they are black. That isn't fair. It isn't right. Awareness by white people is the only way this unfairness will ever end. Just empathy and awareness.
As a white, it isn't easy to hear. I didn't grow up "privileged", I used to think. But my baby dolls were always the same color as me, as were my Barbies. So were my paper dolls, and the band-aids that covered my scratches. When I go to a hotel, the shampoo is perfect for my hair. When I go to the drugstore for shampoo, I don't have to go to the Ethnic section to get it. I have never been followed by security personnel in a store, nor have I been pulled over by a policeman or woman and been afraid of anything more than getting a ticket.
I could go on and on. I'll save it for another post. Thank you so much for reading this. If you are white, please try to educate other whites. It is the only way we can heal it. By the way, I don't profess to not be racist. I couldn't be a woman from Virginia and not have that. I can say I work on it. I really try. That's the best I can do. I'm not sure I will ever be free of it, but I will try to be educated and empathic.
Now, I shall leave you with a picture of Penny and Monkey, my son's cat. Penny wants to be friends so much. It's a new relationship and hopefully it will happen.
Happy New Year!
I've been a bit shy about blogging. Did I mention I was harassed on line and it scared me a little? Made me sort of reassess what I was putting out there, and I had to get over the self blaming for the incident, as well as the self loathing for allowing it to happen. Anyhow, I heard something this week that inspired me so very much. Franklin McClain was one of the original Greensboro Four. Well, right here is NPR's transcript of what Mr. McClain said about it.
Mr. McClain passed away this week. He was only 73. What he said is something everyone in this country should know was a reality for African Americans, not so long ago. He said he knew he would leave there in handcuffs or in a box, i.e. he would be arrested or killed. Do people realize how dangerous it was (and sometimes still is) for African Americans just to go about their daily business?
One of the things that made my heart 3 times bigger was that during this incident they were refused service, which they expected. A little white lady approached them and they were expecting to be chastised. She whispered in a calm voice, boys, I'm so proud of you.
That really made me happy. It reminded me to appreciate my Mom because my Mom would do something like that. She was so instrumental in helping me open my mind about race in a divided south.
Mr. McClain said, "What I learned from that little incident was don't you ever, ever stereotype anybody in this life until you at least experience them and have the opportunity to talk to them."
I will always try to honor his words. Rest in peace, Mr. Franklin McCain.
The Children's War and Other Poems
Poet Shaindel Beers asked me if I would like to read her new volume of poetry and do a review or interview. I opted for an interview, because, well, I'm nosy! I always have questions and want to know the background, where ideas originate, the creative seed, so to speak. Shaindel sent the book to me gratis.
I read this book and was very moved. The stories about the pictures created by children after experiencing the trauma of war are striking. Shaindel has managed to give voice to these visual creations.
Here is our interview:
First, what gave you the idea to write poems about children's drawings?
I just happened to come across a Slate.com article called "The Art of War" by Dr. Annie Sparrow and Olivier Bercault, who are researchers for Human Rights Watch. They had traveled to Sudan and gave pencils, pens, and crayons to children while they interviewed their parents in the refugee camps, and Slate.com had a slideshow of the children's artwork and some portions of the interviews in the article.
I pretty much became obsessed immediately and started writing the poems. It was actually one of those artistic obsessions where you think you might be going crazy, where you can't think of or work on anything else.
Where did you first encounter these drawings?
After using the artwork I found via the Slate.com article, I started looking online for other sources of children's war artwork and ordered sourcebooks, including They Still Draw Pictures: Children's Art in Wartime from the Spanish Civil War to Kosovo by Anthony L. Geist and Peter N. Carroll and Sunflowers in the Sand: Stories from Children of War by Leah Curtain. Of course, there is so much artwork out there, there were many terrific sources I didn't get to use. I wanted the work to have a sort of immediacy, so I only used pictures that spoke to me right away, and I wanted to try to use artwork from around the globe to honor as many child survivors of war as possible.
I find it fascinating you were able to tell the stories of these children and their suffering by studying the pictures they drew. Did you have background information (not mentioned in the book) on what happened to these children, or did you imagine what may have happened based on the drawings? You certainly channeled the emotions of these children. Did you feel like you were doing that? Did you meet any of these children? Did you speak to people who worked with some of these children?
It really varied depending on the sources. Some of the pictures came with detailed stories, but many didn't. If a picture had a story, I stayed as true to it as possible, sometimes including quotations from the children. But other pictures, I completely interpreted on my own. For instance, in the piece that inspired, "Painting by a Child at the Landmine Education Center in Dong Ha (Quang Tri Province, Vietnam)," there was a number 13 in the painting, and I had no idea what it was, so I had to come up with an interpretation for it. What I imagined in the child's voice was:
…I do know the number I have drawn
on one mine. 13. The number of children lost in our village.
What I tried to come up with first was the age of the child and then stay true to that age. If a drawing was by a nine year-old, I tried to stay true to a nine year-old's vocabulary and perspective.
I haven't met any of the children or had any correspondence with them. I did exchange a few emails with the founder and director of the Iraqi Children's Art Exchange, Claudia Lefko, asking for further information about some pictures from their website and a small translation question, but that is about the extent of the contact I've had with anyone who has been in contact with the children.
What was your process in translating what the pictures were telling you into a poem?
I guess I really tried to inhabit the work — what story is the picture trying to tell? Is it witnessing? Is it imagining a peaceful world outside of war? If I were a child artist, why would I have picked this color, this style?
I picked up a lot of knowledge from reading the interviews and stories, which helped. I learned that children, regardless of culture, seem to draw dead people with their heads at the bottom of the page or to not color them in because in their minds, this is a way of portraying something as "not right." I also spent a lot of time remembering what childhood was like and remembering how my mind worked at various stages to help fill in the blanks. Most of all, I wanted to honor the children's stories and be as authentic as possible. If I did make changes, like putting a child on a train instead of a bus, I hoped they were small, artistic license sorts of changes that didn't change the core of the story.
I did want to ask you some questions about the 2nd part of your book.
It is my favorite kind of poetry, I guess of the "confessional" school, where you are putting your emotions into words. Can you speak to any of your inspiration for that? Were you addressing situations in your life that brought these feelings forward?
I really believe in the 1960s and 1970s feminist rallying cry, "The personal is the political." Women's stories were ignored for far too long in our society and are still marginalized in many ways, so, for me, even if I'm writing work that seems personal, it is a political act because I'm asserting my right that the things that happen to me matter. They are worth writing about, and they're worth reading about. And by extension, I'm writing for those women who've had the same experiences but who haven't written about them yet.
I also process things through writing, sometimes years after the fact. Everyone seems to remember Wordsworth's quote that poetry is the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings," but they often forget the part that he adds, "it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility." I seem to have a lag time of a few years between an event happening and my writing about it. I have some poems about my abusive marriage which I left several years ago in this collection. I just couldn't write about that experience while I was in it, or even shortly after it was over. It took a lot of processing the events to even understand what had been happening to the point that I could write about them. And, in turn, writing about those events helped me to move on and heal from them.
Liam, my son, is now almost three years-old, and this books ends with pregnancy poems and one poem in which he's a baby. I've always been curious if people who don't write are just "faster" processors than the rest of us.
When did you know you wanted to write poetry?
The first poem I remember writing that wasn't an assignment, I wrote when a grown cousin had shot my dog. I wanted to process what had happened, so I wrote. Poetry was my way of dealing with things. That's when I knew it would be my way of figuring the world out. I was about ten years-old then.
Do you journal? Did you journal as a child? Can you talk about it a little bit?
I've never really been disciplined enough to keep a journal. It's one of those things I'll start on and do really well for a few weeks, and then it slips by the wayside. I wish I were a more disciplined writer.
I "journaled" as a child in the sense that some Language Arts teachers had us write in a journal every day, usually with a prompt they wrote on the board. I remember that and sustained silent reading time being my favorite parts of school.
If left to my own devices (if I had a day off of work and an empty house), I generally like to use the cycle of read, sleep, write. I like to read until I feel like my head is "full," then I take a nap, and while I fall asleep, I think about whatever I've just read, and then when I wake up, I write something inspired by those thoughts.
Who are your literary "heroes"?
There are so many. Since you asked about "confessional" poetry, I would have to say Anne Setxon. She broke so many barriers of writing about deeply personal issues, and she also did the interesting work of reinterpreting fairy tales using events in her own life in her collection Transformations.
In a sense of this specific collection, The Children's War, several of the poems came from prompts given to me by Carl Phillips, who is such a fine teacher and terrific poet. He gave these crazy, specific assignments at the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop that seemed impossible to follow, but they turned into such beautiful poems. I learned from him both as a poet and as a teacher.
Of course, there are so many others, but I think we can leave it at those two in the terms of this collection.

Hell In A Hen Basket
Seven months ago, when I met my boyfriend, I had no idea he had so many female friends. I'm 26; he's 30. I understand having opposite-sex friends to get perspective on dating, but he's like one of their girlfriends. He gabs on the phone with them constantly, and they treat him like their little teddy bear, inviting him to baby showers, bringing him leftovers, and baking him cookies. He only understands my jealousy as fear that he will cheat. But, these are married girls he's known for years, and he's not a sleazeball. I'm not scared of catching him in bed with another woman; I'm terrified I'll overhear him discussing what color she should paint the baby's room. I know he won't be comfortable telling his girlfriends that he picks out nail polish with only one woman from now on — me! I don't feel he needs these relationships when he's in a serious relationship, and it isn't their job to take care of him.
— Feeling Inadequate
He isn't just your man; he's the married hens pet mandroid. Kind of like their own super-adorable version of "The Terminator": "I'll be back…to help you pick out panty liners!"
From the way you describe the guy, it sounds like his testosterone level is somewhere between zero and "crying softly while hiding under the bed." But you apparently didn't find him under-manly when you started dating him and apparently don't now; you're just upset to learn that he's been moonlighting as a gay decorator.
Odd as it is to have a boyfriend whose homies are a bunch of suburban homemakers, outside friendships can help keep a relationship alive. (No one person shares their partner's every interest or meets their every need.) Outside friendships can also go too far — like if your boyfriend's confiding things he'd otherwise confide in you, ditching you to hang with them, or answering the phone during sex as their first responder for nail polish emergencies: "Definitely Baby's Breath over that trampy Seashell Pink!"
If you aren't icked out because he likes scrapbooking and sipping chard with the ladies, and you don't feel shortchanged in time, energy, and attention, maybe the real problem is insecurity on your part. It is understandable that you feel a little jealous. When you get into a relationship with a guy, you expect to be his one-and-only, and not feel like you need to get in line behind the housewife harem bringing him plates of homemade brownies.
Stamping your foot and ordering him to ditch the biddies is a bad idea. Even if you got him to cave, resentment would surely rise up in him to fill the void. What you can do is tell him what you need. Explain that you aren't worried he'll cheat, just anxious that he's got a bunch of women in his life who mean a lot to him, who do kinda girlfriendy things for him, who have a history with him that you don't. Get him to tell you what he sees in you and why he's with you. This should help you recognize that these women are special to him, but not special-special, like you, which should help you rest easier when he comes home smelling like he spent the night singing into hairbrushes with the girls.
Mean And Hungry
Men apparently see the organic grocery's salad bar as the new singles bar. Sorry, but after a long day, I want to load up my container in peace, not get hit on with "So, what's on the menu tonight?" or "You know, I make a mean kale salad." (Didn't know, don't care.) I'm getting so annoyed at this always happening that I'm tempted to say to the next guy, "What makes you think I want to have a conversation with you?"
— Girl, Interrupted
Sadly, shopping local often involves ducking the locals. (If only the salad bar came with a sleaze guard.) Though you could pelt these guys with croutons or cutting remarks, venting anger actually makes it worse — biochemically and psychologically. Wearing a big rock on your finger should stop some men from approaching, and mentioning "my husband" should chase away any who already have. You'll ultimately feel better if you make the tiny effort to ditch them with dignity; treat them like they have value as human beings (if annoying ones) and like their feelings matter. You might also consider yourself lucky. The day may come when men look at you with all the longing they have for a bench. At that point, you'll still be complaining: "What's the world come to when a little old lady spends six hours getting a box of sprouts without attracting a single guy wanting to do wheatgrass shots off her abs?"

Sarah Palin and Dr. Carson were probably the main highlights of the last day of the annual CPAC gathering in Washington D.C. this week. It's always interesting to see how many see the movement at this time and where they think it should go from here. I wouldn't characterize all the speakers at CPAC as necessarily conservative to begin with but it's probably as good a measure of what's going on in the overall 'mainstream' conservative movement as any outside of the blogosphere and social media.

New Graduate RN Just got a new job in a county Psych hospital!!! - page 2
Hi Everyone! I just recieved my RN in May! I feel so lucky to have already had an interviwe and been asked to work at a county Psych hospital here in San Diego California. New graduate nurses here sometimes have a very... Read More
- 6Jul 16, '12 by smn2010Congratulations on the new job!!
As a psych nurse for a first time job, I think you WILL be marketable as you gain more experience and make attempts to move into other fields of nursing. Keep in mind, PSYCH is EVERY WHERE!!! I often hear med-surg nurses say, "I'll never work with psych patients!" But guess what....med-surg nurse DO work with psych patients---EVERY DAY!!!. Many, more than you think, patients that come to an oncology, med-surg, OB unit have PSYCH issues!!!! While their chief complaint may be diabetes, GI issues, cancer, etc. many patients in today's world also have psych issues (PTSD, schizoaffective disorders, bipolar, etc.)
So your new job as a psych nurse actually puts you AHEAD OF MOST in regards to patient mentalities.... Consider it a "stepping stone" to all the nursing experiences that you will encounter.
Best of luck on the new job!!!
Advise on what NOT to do.... Don't be a best "friend" to the psych patients. Psych patients are smarter than you think. They listen to EVERYTHING you (and your coworkers) say and they watch EVERYTHING you (and your coworkers) do. And...they will use this against you without you even knowing...if you allow it. They even know who your workplace enemies are before you do! Also, don't talk about where you life, who you live with, where your children go to school... Keep your relationships professional. I say this because I have worked on forensic units of state psych facilities, and I'll tell you this, the murders may appear to be the quietest patients in the day room but they know everything that's going on in the building!!!.....
Once you get comfortable with your new psych position (about 1 year in), look for a part-time, PRN/per diem position at a facility that allows for "self scheduling" where you can select the days you want to work. This way, you can get some correctional, med-surg, oncology (or whatever your desire) under your belt on a part-time/per diem basis. Then, after awhile you (and only YOU) can determine if you want to continue in psych or try another field of nursing to add additional skills to your resume.
As for your new psych position (and any nursing job for that matter)....ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings. Be safe!!!
- 1Multicollinearity Thank you! Thats awesome advice! I agree with you on the fact that I may have trouble transitioning into correctional nursing coming from a psych position. My plan is to work for about three months or so in psych, just for the experience, and than begin applying for state prision jobs. We have a good amount of prisons here in California and I plan to go anywhere. One of my instrucors told me that the more rual prisons (like in cow town lol) takes new grads. Do you think this would be a good idea? I have a bsn, a bs in chemistry and a masters in public health (applying for PHN certification as we speak). I am 26 years old and I begin my MSN in the fall. Do I stand a chance? thnak you! I appreciate your advice! I need guidence.... bad
- 0Oh well I didnt think of that! Thank you veyr much meriwhen! I am going to start applying today. Do you think part time in a nursing home or hospice would be ok too?
- 0Hi Pedal This county job I recieved had a pretty in depth health screening process. The only thing I had to submit was a TB skin test twice. I thought that was weird but oh well.
- 0smn2009 you rock thank you! I am so motivated now! Well, even more than I already am, belive it or not! Do you think any hospitals take new grads per diem? I mean since I need practice with my skills and what not? Do you think nursing homes would be sufficient for me to learn my med surge type skills?
- 1Jul 17, '12 by smn2010lyttlemomma - many long term care facilities (ltc but nursing homes as you call them ) are also rehabilitation centers also. they always need rns and are open to hiring new grads because you will come into their facility with an open mind, eager and ready to take on all new challenges that are put before you. many of my classmates went directly to ltc facilites that had acute care floors right after graduation and they now work on progressive care units at large hospitals. in hampton roads (virginia) there are ltc/rehab (acute care) facility combinations. they are not just geriatric. the facilities have separate units where they admit patients that transfer in from area hospitals after knee replacement, hip replacement, back surgery, etc. and come to these ltc/rehab facilities for physical therapy before going home. there are also various other patient skill sets here also. patients (young and old) stay only 2-5 days. so, you will gain experience working with ortho patients, for example, that have colostomies/ileostomies, g-tubes, possibly ng-tubes, along with the typical secondary health concerns such as diabetes, gout, gi concerns etc. these facilities are always looking for part-time/prn rns. a ltc/rehab facility on their acute/short-term stay floor/unit (not the geriatric side) would be a great avenue for you to check into as far as a part-time job is concerned. for one, you won't have the "stress" of a hospital setting. ltc are more laid back although some facilities may not be as "modern" with computerized charting. but, don't let that stop you. you get a lot of experience when you utilize paper charting because you gain a better understanding of the nursing process, time management, charting (handwriting) as you go. so hand charting will be helpful for you if you must do it. although, most ltc's are slowly transitioning their patient/resident data to the computer system so you have some paper charting and some computer charting at the same facility. but, all ltc's have to be computerized by 2014 (i think that's the year?! )... so, don't let paper charting hold you back if you want a job in ltc/rehab while doing your psych.
as a side note, when looking for any job, don't just apply to facilities that have positions posted online, in the newspaper, etc. take some initiative and send an "exploratory" letter to the director of nursing (...or to whoever is in charge of the nursing staff (chief nursing officer, director of hr...) you may have to call human resources to get the correct name (or email address) if it is not located on the facilities website). by sending an exploratory letter, you will be letting the person in charge know of your interest long before they may be thinking about placing an ad online or in the paper.
...sorry for the lenghty response...... i just get carried away/excited when people find a job in today's economy and with so many nurses applying for the same position these days...
p.s. while on the new job, don't let the unhappy nurses (or other staff) ruin "your" day with their constant negativity. listen quietly, take the information "in", retain the information, smile, but mainly focus on "your" new job/responsibilities that need to be learned. in time, you will become more and more aware of the highs/lows of your employer/coworkers so you don't need the senior nurses drowning you with their complaints when you first start working.
enjoy the new job!!!
- 1smn2009 Thank you so so much for taking the time to reply to me! I am so greatful and love and appreciate your advice, I like that your responses are long and detailed thank you! I think your right about sending in my resume and application to the heads of the facilities that I want to apply for, this shows that I have initiative and that I am very interested. I am going to do my best and give it my all!
Thank you for the advice about not letting other nurses bring me down. I kind of experienced that kind of attitude with some nurses when I was in my clinical rotations as a student and it was hard. I will kill everyone with kindness I suppose

Video: Acura Canada Introduces the 2014 Acura MDX Prototype
From the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Acura Canada's Emile Korkor introduces the 2014 Acura MDX Prototype and some of its innovative new features. Emile mentions the 2014 Acura MDX clocked a time 8 seconds faster than the current MDX, and will still deliver improved overall fuel economy. Though not specified, we can assume he is referring to its Nürburgring track time, where both the 2nd generation and the new 3rd generation MDX have spent time in development.

Eu Ban On Cheap Meat Helps Consumers
Producers attack EU ban on process that strips cheap meat from bone | The Times
The price of burgers, sausages and chicken nuggets will rise after a technique for removing cheap meat from the bone was banned, the industry warned yesterday.
Tim Smith, chief executive of the FSA, said there were no food safety grounds for reclassifying desinewed meat. "There is no greater risk from eating this sort of produce than any other piece of meat or meat product. The EU Commission has informed us today they do not consider this to be an identified public health concern," he said.
He insisted that desinewed meat was indistinguishable under a microscope from meat cut by hand. "It's meat," he said. "Mechanically separated meat is completely different."
However, he said that Britain had to comply with the ruling to prevent a "devastating" export ban on all British meat.
Bernard Van Goethem of the European Commission said that the decision had been made on legal grounds because the definition of desinewed meat varied around the EU. The consequent changes in labelling rules would help the consumer. "He wants to know if [his sausage] is made from mechanically separated meat or a real piece of meat that was cut into small pieces.".
It is why the queue at the late night kebab shop is so long as the customers debate the provenance, breed and the farming system of the meat they are considering buying just like M.Van Goethem does at that very nice Brussels restaurant where he grazes on choice morsels.

Katie Couric Polls the People, Including a Cab Driver, For Obama Questions
Health care, the economy, the terror trials and the Super Bowl were all topics of this afternoon's Katie Couric interview with Pres. Obama at the White House.
Couric and company arrived in Washington, DC late Friday night ahead of snowpocalypse.
The pre-Super Bowl presidential interview is becoming an annual event, including last year's Matt Lauer interview with Obama ahead of NBC's coverage.

Calendulas, or pot marigolds, like many early bloomers, need sufficient periods of cold for their seeds to germinate. They are accents in not only the garden but also the kitchen; high in vitamin C, they can be used in soups and salads. Barbara Temple Lombardi photo.

New Olympic Event, the Begging Bowl Race
First the banks, now the Olympics may have to be saved by the State - Times Online
About £550 million of government funding has already been allocated for Stratford Park and the infrastructure for the Olympic Village, including electricity cables and water supply. But an extra £850 million to £900 million still had to be found for the village through a mixture of funding from housing associations, private investment and the taxpayer. So far no money has been guaranteed from either the private sector or housing associations...
An ODA spokesman said: "More public sector investment will clearly be needed for the Olympic Village, given the problems in the banking sector and the deterioration in the property market. This would be an investment in a long-term housing asset that can then be sold in the future.
It is not a bloody investment, if it was an investment that promised a decent rate of return then the private sector would do it, it is yet another subsidy that you want for your fascist drugsfest.

Sample Configuration of DRBD On CentOS 4.5
Submitted by babarsaleem (Contact Author) (Forums) on Thu, 2007-12-20 10:12. :: CentOS | High-Availability | Storage
Sample Configuration of DRBD On CentOS 4.5
What is DRBD?
DRBD is an abbreviation of Distributed Replicated Block Device. DRBD is a block device which is designed to build high-availability clusters. This is done by mirroring a whole block device via (a dedicated) network. You could see it as a network RAID1.
Pre-Configuration Requirements:
I used two nodes with the following system settings:
/dev/sda1 / 13257MB ext3 primary
/dev/sda2 4095MB swap primary
/dev/sdb1 umounted 128MB ext3 primary (for DRBD's meta data)
/dev/sdb2 umounted 4306MB ext3 primary (used as DRBD's Disk)
/dev/hda1 / 4503MB ext3 primary
/dev/hda2 769MB swap primary
/dev/hda3 unmounted 128MB ext3 primary (for DRBD's meta data)
/dev/hda4 unmounted 4306MB ext3; primary (used as DRBD's Disk)
The sizes and names of the partitions may vary according to disk capacity, and hard disks used. You can define a partition scheme according to your requirements.
My /etc/hosts file on both nodes (cnode1.rnd & cnode2.rnd) looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 172.16.4.80 cnode1.rnd cnode2 172.16.4.81 cnode2.rnd cnode3
DRBD Installation:
Install DRBD software and DRBD's kernel module on cnode1.rnd and cnode2.rnd:
yum install -y kmod-drbd drbd
Load DRBD's kernel module with insmod:
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9-55.0.9.EL/extra/drbd.ko
Verify with lsmod that module is loaded. If you see DRBD then move to the sample configuration section.
Configuring DRBD:
The configuration file of DRBD is /etc/drbd.conf. So we will edit this file and make the following changes in it and copy it to the other node (/etc/drbd.conf will be same on both nodes).
On cnode1.rnd edit this file with any editor. I am using vi:
vi /etc/drbd.conf
resource r0 { protocol C; incon-degr-cmd "halt -f"; startup { degr-wfc-timeout 120; # 2 minutes. } disk { on-io-error detach; } net { } syncer { rate 3M; group 1; al-extents 257; } on cnode1.rnd { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/sdb2; address 172.16.4.80:7789; meta-disk /dev/sdb1[0]; } on cnode2.rnd { device /dev/drbd0; disk /dev/hda4; address 172.16.4.81:7789; meta-disk /dev/hda3[0]; } }
Save your changes and copy it to the other node (cnode2.rnd):
scp /etc/drbd.conf firstname.lastname@example.com:/etc/
Now let's start the DRBD daemon on both nodes, but before this we want to start DRBD daemon on the next reboot. For this we will use the command chkconfig on both nodes.
chkconfig --level 235 drbd on
/etc/init.d/drbd start
You will find out that DRBD has started the synchronization process. You can see it running:
/etc/init.d/drbd status
cat /proc/drbd
drbd.conf Configuration Technical Details:
Should match exactly the output of
uname -n
The device node to use: /dev/drbd0 - DRBD block device.
Address, Port:
The inet address and port to bind to locally, or to connect to the partner node.
The disks to store meta data. DRBD allows you to either place its meta data on the same backing device where it puts the actual usable production data (internal meta data), or on a separate block device (external meta data). I have allocated 128 MB for meta data on a external meta data block device. However you may concern table given below to estimate meta data sizes
What should be done in case the cluster starts up in degraded mode, but knows it has inconsistent data (the lower level device reports io-error).
on-io-error detach:
If the lower level device reports io-error, the node drops its backing storage device and continues in diskless mode.
Wait for connection time out, if this node was a degraded cluster. This is used instead of wfc-timeout (wait for cluster time out).
Limit the bandwidth used by the resynchronization process.
All devices in one group are resynchronized parallel. Resynchronization of groups is serialized in ascending order.
Automatically performs hot area detection. With this parameter you control how big the hot area can get. Each extent marks 4M of the backing storage (=low level device). In case a primary node leaves the cluster unexpectedly the areas covered by the active set must be resynced upon rejoin of the failed node. The data structure is stored in the meta-data area, therefore each change of active set is a write operation to meta-data device. A higher number of extents gives longer resync times but less updates to the meta-data.
The Do And Don't:
Do not attempt to mount a DRBD in secondary state. Once you set up DRBD never bypass it or access the underlying device directly!
Test DRBD:
Make cnode1.rnd primary and mount the block device of the primary node (cnode1.rnd) on /mnt/disk:
drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 primary --do-what-I-say
mount /dev/drbd0 /mnt/disk
Copy some files and folders to it:
cp -r /root/documents /mnt/disk
Now umount DRBD's block device and make the primary node "secondary":
umount /mnt/disk/
drbdadm secondary all
Make the cnode2.rnd primary and mount block device on /mnt/disk:
drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 primary --do-what-I-say
mount /dev/drbd0 /mnt/disk
You will find that documents exists on cnode2.rnd.
