Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Even an anti-handyman can be helpful sometimes
I was lying on the couch in our den the other day trying to store up enough energy to cut the lawn when the phone rang.
It was our neighbour, Yvonne, and she desperately needed to speak with my wife, She Who Must Not Be Named, who happened to be out for coffee with a friend. What with being a crusading newspaper columnist, I sensed something was wrong. "Is something wrong?" I asked Yvonne.
"Yes, there is," she sighed. "Our sump pump isn't working and there's a pool of water spreading in the basement."
Utilizing my amazing powers of perception, I sensed the time had come for me to step up to the plate.
"Would you like me to come and take a look?" I asked.
There was a pause in the conversation, much like the way Charlie Brown paused in A Charlie Brown Christmas when Lucy demanded to know whether he felt she should portray the Christmas Queen in the school pageant.
After a few moments, Yvonne finally replied: "Um, OK, I guess so."
If I am going to be truthful, I understand her hesitation. I have a well-earned reputation for being the opposite of handy. I am essentially the "anti-handyman." If, for example, I found myself in a room with a handy person, there would be a massive explosion, like when matter and anti-matter collide in an episode of Star Trek.
The problem is, I learned how to fix things from my dad, who followed three manly rules for confronting broken items, namely:
1) Frown at the problem to indicate you are taking it seriously.
2) Give the problem a swift kick, slap or shake, especially if the problem is a broken TV set or a vending machine that has taken your money but refuses to dispense a delicious cold beverage or salty snack item.
3) Wrap the problem in several feet of duct tape, even if the problem is emitting sparks or spewing flames.
In contrast, my wife takes pride in her ability to repair rogue household items. She owns -- prepare to turn green with envy -- her own toolbox and a complete set of tools.
Getting back to our story, after slipping into my flip-flops, I bravely strolled down to our neighbour's house, marched into her basement and implemented Step 1 by frowning at the pool of water spreading slowly across the floor.
I did my best to furrow my manly brow. "Your sump pump isn't working," I finally stated in the kind of concerned but capable voice I believe a professional plumber would have employed in this situation.
Yvonne gave me a confused look. "Thanks, Doug," she said. "I think we had that part figured out."
The next thing I did was go and stare at her electrical fuses, because I vaguely recalled seeing someone do that on one of those home-repair reality TV shows.
"Yes, your fuses look fine to me," I muttered, even though I wasn't entirely sure how to tell the difference between a good fuse and one that has gone to the Big Fuse Box in the Sky.
At this point, I knelt down beside the puddle and unplugged the sump pump, then plugged it back in. I did this over and over. Then I looked up with manly pity at Yvonne and her daughter and her house guests, who were wearing pajamas and expressions of grave concern.
Finally, I did what any right-thinking guy would do as a last resort -- I got a flashlight and shined it directly on the sump pump to let it know I was no longer kidding around.
As I stood there in the puddle, brandishing the flashlight menacingly, my wife arrived and, after listening to my professional explanation, foolishly suggested someone might want to call a plumber.
Naturally, that's what Yvonne did, and she chatted with the plumber on the phone for several minutes.
"What does the plumber think?" I finally grunted.
Yvonne covered the phone with one hand and whispered: "He thinks you should give the pipe a shake."
"Seriously?" I groaned, rolling my eyes to convey my professional contempt for this suggestion.
"That's what he says," Yvonne insisted. "Give it a shake."
So that's what I did. I stretched out one hand, grasped the sump pump pipe the way a farmer would grasp the neck of a doomed chicken, and gave it a vigorous shake. Instantly, the sump pump sprang to life and sucked up the puddle. I stood up and heroically dried my hands on my golf shirt. "I believe my work here is done," I sniffed, before marching upstairs.
I'm not sure what my wife and neighbour think, but I'll bet my dad and Charlie Brown would have been proud.

Eddie DeBartolo's 49ers teams were built with first class, Hall of Fame players such as Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and Ronnie Lott, and visionary coaches such as Bill Walsh and George Seifert. Regarded as the "players' owner", Mr. DeBartolo's vision is to help athletes and coaches improve their skills, realize their talents, and maximize their potential through unparalleled development football programs.
Quarterback Coach Joe Dickinson, and his team of performance specialists, will take quarterbacks and wide receivers through a simulated NFL and college camp, complete with quarterback and wide receiver specific skills training, speed, strength, and agility training, NFL film study and chalkboard sessions. Additionally, extensive recaps, video, and photo coverage through the DeBartolo Sports University website, provides participants a platform to further distinguish themselves from the vast pool of football players. When not training, athletes have the opportunity to enjoy the accommodations of the college and participate in organized activities.
Quarterbacks including Matt Barkley (USC), Dayne Crist (Notre Dame), Terrelle Pryor (Ohio State), Jake Heaps (BYU), Blake Bell (Oklahoma), and this years top quarterback recruits Cody Keith (National Prep Player of the Year, East Carolina University Commit), Conner Preston (Southern Methodist University Commit), and Daxx Garman (University of Arizona Commit) have all sought his training.
Under the guidance of Coach Dickinson, youth quarterbacks Augie DeBiase (Jacksonville, Florida) and Grady Sullivan (Southlake Carroll, Texas) received National attention with their superior play during the 2010 season and respective invitation's to play in the Junior Rank Diamond Bowl and the Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl.
In 2008 and 2009 Coach Dickinson helped current Minnesota Vikings QB Rhett Bomar prepare for the NFL Combine and pre-season camp. Throughout this period he worked with New Orleans Saints QB Chase Daniel, Tampa Bay Buccaneer first round draft choice QB Josh Freeman, and Tampa Bay Bucs QB Rudy Carpenter.
Coach Dickinson served as the Offensive Coordinator and Recruiting Coordinator at several Division 1 football programs including: Tulsa ('86-'89), Marshall ('90), Northern Illinois ('91-'95), Oklahoma ('83-85,'96-'98), Tulane ('99-'00), and Central Oklahoma ('03-'06). The complete offensive mastermind, Coach Dickinson's offenses routinely ranked at the top of the NCAA. Throughout his extensive career he had the opportunity to coach alongside some of the best minds in football. He was on staff with Hall of Fame Coach and Super Bowl Champion Barry Switzer when they won the 1985 National Championship. While at Marshall he Coached with the legendary Jim Donnan, and during his time at Tulsa he coached with College Football Hall of Fame Coach John Cooper.
Early in his career at Oklahoma, Coach Dickinson worked with Pro Football Hall of Fame QB Troy Aikman. From there, he would go on to recruit, coach, and/or mentor several 1st round draft picks including: JP Losman (QB, 2004/Round 1/Pick 32), Patrick Ramsey (QB, 2002/Round 1/Pick 32), Roy Williams (S, 2002/Round 1/Pick 8), and Stockar McDougle (OL, 2000/Round 1/Pick 20). From 1994-1997, four of Coach Dickinson's running backs would go on to NFL careers: LeShon Johnson, James Allen, De'mond Parker, and Jermaine Fezande.
Coach Dickinson mentored Heisman Candidate LeShon Johnson at Northern Illinois during his Nation Leading rushing performance in 1993. While at Tulsa, he produced NFL Quarterbacks T.J. Rubley and Gus Frerotte, who rank 1st and 2nd on the schools list of All-Time Passers respectively.
In 2000, Joe Dickinson founded Fab50 Recruiting, a highly regarded scouting service for high school athletes. Today, Fab50 recruiting remains a highly respected online scouting service.
Throughout his Coaching Career Coach Dickinson has had the opportunity to work and learn with some of the greatest minds to coach and play the game including: Joe Avezanno, Rex Ryan, Jim Hanifan, Pat McPherson, Joe Jurasek, Terry Shea, Joe Montana, Randy Cross, Jon Embree, John Blake, Bubby Brister, Jeff Weeks, Chris Scelfo, Barry Switzer, Jim Donnan, Bill Bates, and John Cooper.
Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Coach Geoff McArthur now dedicates himself to Canadian high school football players, teaching them the skills needed to play in the NCAA. In his senior high school season, McArthur led the nation in yards receiving (1,779) and touchdowns (28). He started his D1 career at the tender age of 17 as a "true" freshman at University of California (Berkeley), a rare and possibly first-ever accomplishment at a D1 "skill" position. McArthur then went on to become Cal Berkeley's all-time leader in catches (202), yards (3,100) and also yards in a single season (1,504). McArthur was an all-American in 2003, finishing second in the country behind Larry Fitzgerald in receiving yards. McArthur played receiver for two first round quarterbacks in Baltimore Ravens' Kyle Boller and Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers.
Coach McArthur was recruited by the Green Bay Packers of the NFL, but declined due to a knee injury that ultimately ended his career. But for the knee injury, McArthur was projected to be a second round NFL Draft pick.
Coach McArthur has worked with many of the nation's premier wide receivers, including Philadelphia's DeSean Jackson and Tennessee Titans' Lavelle Hawkins. Aside from working with professional athletes, Coach McArthur has tutored many NCAA athletes during his years as a coach: Jordan Payton (UCLA), Byron Moore (University of Tennessee), Kasen Williams (University of Washington), Victor Blackwell (USC), Brice Butler (USC/SDSU), Anthony Denham (Utah), Chris Potter (Boise State), Khalid Stevens (SDSU), Larry Clark (SDSU), Sean Parker (University of Washington), Moody McNeal (USC), Spencer Hagan (Cal), and many more.
Playing is one thing. Coaching is another. And Coach McArthur is every bit as outstanding and dedicated a coach as he is a player. McArthur is disciplined, analytical, and knowledgeable, and sets high standards for his players. Coach McArthur is a role model and constant reminder of what it takes to play at the highest level.
Career Accolades:
Former All-American for the California Bears in the Pac-12.
#1 all-time career leading WR in school history in most yards in one season and most career yardage.
Voted Offensive Team MVP in 2003, while catching passes from Aaron Rodgers.
Earned his Masters Degree in Education while serving as the WR Coach & Asst Strength and Conditioning Coach at NCAA D2 Lindenwood University.
Has coached numerous high school and university level athletes across the U.S. with over 10 of them having an opportunity to play in the NFL or CFL.
A relatively new addition to the DeBartolo Sports organization is Joe McCulley. Joe is a long-time coach and administrator in the Oklahoma public school system and will be providing personal quarterback instruction exclusively to DeBartolo Sports University. Not only does Coach McCulley bring to the table a vast knowledge of the quarterback position but also a deep understanding of the game of football and all aspects of what it takes to become a great player. Joe has 35 years coaching experience coaching young athletes, 29 years as a head coach , 5 years assistant and offensive coordinator both in Oklahoma high schools and 1 year assistant and quarterback coach at Southeastern Oklahoma State University, his Alma Mater.
Coach McCulley has coached 6 All-State quarterbacks, produced 25 all-state players, won 15 district titles, had 11 state quarterfinals, 4 state semi-final appearances, and 1 State Championship. He has been elected by his peers as All State Coach and 12 times District Coach of the year.
Joe has worked with numerous college football camps, including the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, and University of Tulsa. He had the opportunity to help establish the first team camp in Oklahoma with long time University Tulsa head coach and current University of Mississippi offensive coordinator David Rader.
As a player McCulley played quarterback for Anaheim High School in Southern California where he was mentored by former NFL coach Dick Coury. After graduation he played quarterback at the University of Tulsa, under the guidance of then offensive coordinator, former NFL coach and player Jerry Rhome. During his tenure here in 1973 he was 2nd leading passer in the nation behind Jesse Freitas of San Diego State. He was also ranked 2nd in total offense behind longtime Dallas Cowboy and Arizona State quarterback Danny White. While playing at Tulsa he had the opportunity and good fortune to throw to elite receivers Drew Pearson, former all –pro Dallas Cowboy, Steve Largent, Seattle Seahawks Hall of Famer, and Raymond Rhodes, Pro-bowler and former Green Bay Packer's Head coach.
Coach McCulley and his wife Sherry have 5 children and are currently living in Hennessey, Ok where he is the Superintendent of schools.
Campers will train at the nation's newest college football venue, Bright House Networks Stadium. Home for the UCF Knights football program, Bright House Networks Stadium sprawls over 25 acres, seats 45,323 and serves as the crown jewel of the schools' burgeoning Athletics Village.
"Coach Dickinson and I have worked together for about three years now and I really appreciate everything he has done for me. We get together in the summer mostly, but I have made great improvement while working with him."
"We are so thankful for what DeBartolo Sports has done, for the way Coach Dickinson has developed my son, from a character standpoint and an athletic standpoint, and without Coach Dickinson and DSU I don't believe Augie would be at the point he is today. I believe Augie has a great future and the only way we are going down that road is with Coach D by our side."
"Coach D has been incredible. He is really key on why David is the quarterback that he is. He also gives him confidence that he will keep improving. There is no way we would be where we are at without him."
"DeBartolo Sports and Coach Dickinson made the Saddlebrook Camp one of the best ones Daxx has ever been to! Coach Dickinson, Coach Loyd, and Coach Banks are about as good as it gets for QB's."
"Allen has matured a lot since coming to the DSU camps. He catches the ball better and runs better routes because he gets to work with all these great quarterbacks. He has gained confidence. These camps and working with Coach Dickinson has done a lot for him."
"Grady gains confidence in his decision making and is surrounded by the best quarterback role models to train with."
"Colby has become a completely different QB as a result of the camps and the private training sessions. You can see the difference in the video clips from the camps to actual results on the football field. I see that Colby realizes that the game is as much mental as it is physical strictly from what he has been taught by the coaches at the camps. Bottom line, DeBartolo Sports University has made a huge impact for my son."
"Coach Dickinson provided a very professional, organized, and structured training environment, while at the same time making it fun and tailored for each QB. Carlton learned a lot, had a great time, and made noticeable improvements each day. We are sold on this training."
"Ronnie has really improved over the last couple years working with Coach D. His footwork, accuracy, and pure knowledge of the game and confidence is a big thing. Ronnie knows he can compete with some of the best in the country."
"My son Richard will be a Freshman at Hebron High School (Carrollton, TX) next year (2013-2014). I wanted to find a QB camp that was unlike those he had ever attended before. After thoroughly researching the DSU QB web site, I decided to enroll him in the Holiday camp in Oklahoma City. The amount of individual attention and individual ""constructive coaching"" that Richard received during the four-day camp was beyond what I expected. Richard enjoyed getting a large volume of repetitions throwing while at the camp as well as the class-room time that helped him understand defensive weaknesses better than before coming to camp. Richard left camp knowing that he had multiple items to work on but he also left fully equipped with drills and coaching points from the coaches at the camp to help him make the changes necessary to move forward in his development as a QB. I would highly encourage any parent to consider enrolling in another DSU event. I'm very certain that Richard will attend again."
"This camp was HARDCORE, & not for the weakhearted, but I loved every minute. The coaches were quick to help me adjust my technique to make me a better QB. I really liked Coach D & Coach Mc and cant wait to go to another camp with them. One of these days when I get to the NFL as a quarterback, I can come back & help Coach D & Coach Mc teach other kids to become better."
"DeBartolo Sports has delivered on everything that is expected in a top notch, first class football program for elite players. The coaching staff is excellent with the players on their development physically and mentally. My sons Travis Smith and Jake Smith came out of the camps with a higher level of confidence and a better understanding for the QB position. Both have had some extensive training prior to Debartolo Sports, but after a few days at their camps the kids were able to step it up to a new level. The coaches have also been very helpful with Travis' recruiting process. They were able to answer questions for us that we did not have the answers to and gave us advice that we could not get elsewhere. Plus it is a huge advantage having coaches that actually know what college coaches are truly looking for in a player."

maple coconut rice pudding
Growing up, rice pudding was relatively frequent dessert in our house, although it was never a planned one. It was always the result of my Dad's heavy hand when making rice. He's not much of a measurer, so every time he made us rice, he'd pour a couple of cups of dried rice in the pot and by the end, we'd have a gallon or so of rice. Even though we only needed enough for three or four.
We couldn't let all that rice go to waste.
So after dinner, we'd head back to the kitchen and mix the remaining rice with milk, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. We'd stuff ourselves silly on the sweet, warm rice. We didn't often have desserts in the house growing up (my parents mastered the whole healthful moderation thing way before it was hip), so rice pudding nights were a real treat. It was so simple, but that was part of the beauty of it. I guess, technically, we were eating the rice as more of a cereal, but the results were the same—wholesome, sweet and a perfect way to use up an extra boatload of rice.
This recipe is a bit different from the one we had growing up. This rice is cooked with the sole-purpose of pudding. Instead of cooking the rice in just the standard water, I added creamy, low-calorie light coconut milk and a full cup of flake coconut. And then, once the rice has absorbed all the coconutty yumness, I stirred in a little bit of evaporated milk, some pure maple syrup, and cinnamon. The end result is a creamy, smooth, chewy pudding that reminds me so much of my childhood it's ridiculous.
Because this weekend was so chilly and Fall-like, I served this hot out of the pan, but this pudding is equally delicious if it's allowed to cool. If you can't decide how you like it, do like I do. Have some hot out of the pan, and then squirrel some away in the back of the fridge to have the next day cold. Just make sure you hide it well enough that none of your family members will sneak in and gobble it up. It's that good.
Maple Coconut Rice Pudding
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 4 servings
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 can light coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded or flaked coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk (can sub half and half or full-fat coconut milk)
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, combine rice, coconut milk, water and coconut. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until liquid is mostly absorbed, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, maple syrup, cinnamon and evaporated milk. Spoon in serving dishes and top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, coconut and drizzle of maple syrup if desired. You can also chill the pudding and serve cold if desired.
Do you have any desserts that you remember from your childhood? What were your sweet staples growing up?

YUM!! this recipe sounds delicious!
Never thought about making rice pudding with coconut milk. Gonna give that a try this weekend. Thanks for the recipe!
Love rice pudding yum. My mom baked a great deal when I was a kid so there was usually something sweet in our home.
Your timing is brilliant. I have a jar of rice in my fridge that didn't get used as planned, and I was just thinking, "I need to use that soon!" As it's already cooked, I'll have to look up another recipe (ala your dad) and combine it with yours. Thanks for the idea!
Off to Google and then the kitchen….
I love rice pudding! I used to hate it growing up, but then I learned to make it myself. I did a recipe quite similar to this one a couple of years ago (with coconut milk and maple syrup – great minds think alike!), but mine is done in the crock pot. Nice and easy – and still delicious! http://lublink.org/alison/?p=228
i love rice pudding! this sounds awesome i will definitely try!
I thought my family was the only one that made dessert out of leftover dinner rice! It was something my grandmother used to do for my father when they were young that he passed onto me.
Although I adore rice pudding I haven't tried making a proper one but this looks super easy and delicious!
Oh my goodness this looks so good. I never had rice pudding as a kid(my mom said I tried it once and didn't like it but I don't remember that :P) Now that I'm older I cannot get enough of the stuff. So good! Love your coconut version, I haven't tried that before but I will soon
This is INCREDIBLE! I just made a batch for a dinner party I'm going to tonight, and I couldn't be happier with how delicious it is. Thanks!

While there were concerns that the Nissan Leaf might not be a very good vehicle for colder climates, the automaker is ready to demonstrate otherwise. It recently invited a few dozen journalists to have a go in the snow with its signature all-electric on a test course in Shibetsu, Hokkaido in the north of Japan. Informative video ensued.
With a backdrop of a brace of Leafs frolicking about in the white stuff, interviews were conducted with both engineers and journalists and, from them, we learn some interesting tidbits. For instance, the Leaf battery pack can maintain an operating temperature nicely above freezing despite a chilly -9 C (15.8 F) reading outside. Also, Nissan is working on a new, more efficient, heating system for the passenger cabin, which is good since trying to keep the occupants warm has, perhaps, the biggest impact on decreasing winter driving range.
The cavorting journalists seemed impressed and even surprised with the Leaf's driving dynamics in the slippery conditions. With a low center of gravity, even weight distribution and traction control, the car displayed a comfortable amount of well-mannered poise. Of course, we wouldn't dream of pointing out the pylon that gets punched at precisely 18 seconds into the first video, since that speaks as much to the driver's ability as it does to the vehicle's handling.
Anyhoo, without further ado, hit the jump for a very snowy EV encounter. Besides the main video, which gives an overall rundown of the event, we've also included four more clips featuring further footage of the interviews with company officials and participants. Enjoy.

Canadian National Railway has suspended the feasibility study for the construction of its proposed rail line and terminal handling facility to serve the Quebec/Labrador iron ore range.
"Current market realities" have resulted in anticipated delays with mine development projects in and around the Labrador Trough, CN said in its release. A joint review of the project together with the mining companies indicates that mine construction schedules and diverging needs for each project will make it difficult to obtain the critical volume of iron ore necessary to support the building of new rail and terminal infrastructure by CN.
The feasibility study was initiated in August 2012 by CN and its partner La Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, along with six mining companies.

diluting IV push meds
- 0Aug 7, '11 by peaceful nurseI have been out of nursing for a little bit and am currently teaching. I get confused about diluting medications that are IVP. Do all IVP meds need to be diluted? which ones do you all dilute? Say I have a 2 ml IVP drug do I just wast 2ml out of the NS prepared flush and draw up the med or is there math involved in diluting?
- 0Aug 9, '11 by xtxrnQuote from peaceful nurseFor me, it all depended on the primary IV- if it was NS, I usually didn't dilute, but gave the med slowly. If there was no primary IV, I always diluted to 10cc (drew up 8cc of NS, then 2cc of med - or however it was packaged for the needed dose)...still did SASH (or no "h" if a SL). I prefer the increased control of delivery with a greater volume. I used 10 cc because it was an easy number to deal with. If for some reason I couldn't give the full dose (pt c/o feeling different, etc), I had a better idea of how much they got. JMHO. The med should come with a label that says if it needs to be diluted.I have been out of nursing for a little bit and am currently teaching. I get confused about diluting medications that are IVP. Do all IVP meds need to be diluted? which ones do you all dilute? Say I have a 2 ml IVP drug do I just wast 2ml out of the NS prepared flush and draw up the med or is there math involved in diluting?
- 2Sep 27, '11 by LovingNurseWhen I dilute, I always add the NS last. For example, If I am pulling up DRUG X, I will pull up correct dose in a syringe, then, while the needle is still attached - I will pull NS from the flush syringe into the syringe that has the med in it. This way, there is never any doubt that I have the right amt of med.
If adding to a prefilled syringe, and you accidently pull back too much - then what? I know some nurses do it that way. I'm just saying my preference.
- 2Oct 29, '11 by CharmedJ7I dilute narcotics because it's pretty hard/impossible to push 0.5ml slowly. I dilute benadryl because it's irritating to the vein. I dilute ativan sometimes for the same reason as narcotics, plus it's kind of thick. Mostly I dilute, usually in 10ml NS, if:
1) It needs to be pushed very slowly and it's a very small amount
2) It's irritating to the vein
3) It specifically requires it.
- 2Oct 31, '11 by maelstrom143I always dilute, unless med specifically says not to dilute. No specific mathematical requirement, just common sense. We have prefilled 10cc nss syringes, so I discard whatever the amount necessary to make space for cc of med (i.e. Lasix 40mg is 4ml so I discard 4ml nss). I like to dilute to make it easier and safer on the veins and the patient. Also, w/Lasix I always worry about ototoxic effects of pushing too fast.
- 0Oct 31, '11 by turnforthenurseRNI usually dilute narcotics because I'm usually giving 0.4-0.5mL and it's just easier to push with more volume (NS). I dilute Ativan because it's thick (and it should be diluted anyway) and medications that are irritating to the veins, such as Zofran. I draw the medication up in a syringe and then take a separate NS flush (10cc) and squirt how an amount depending on how many mL's of medication I am giving (so 2mL's of Zofran, squirt out 2mL's of NS) and then inject the medication into the NS syringe. That way I know exactly how much I am drawing up instead of accidentally drawing up too much and not being able to tell because of the NS.
- 0Oct 31, '11 by turnforthenurseRNOh, and a diluent should be added to the I&O...
- 0Jan 12, '12 by poopprincessI dilte most everything, unless specifically stated otherwise. Nothing that I ever give says not to. We have 10 cc prefilled syringes so I squirt out the amount of med I am drawing up and draw the med to equal 10 cc. I basically do the exact same thing turnforthenurseRN does.
- 0Nov 16, '12 by ktlizI am a new nurse and I am constantly looking up meds before I give them. My hospital uses Micromedex online. Under the "administration" tab, it tells you how the med may be diluted and how quickly to push it.How I draw it up depends on the amount of med vs the amount of saline, and whether I am drawing up the whole vial or not. Sometimes I just waste a few ccs of my nss flush and then draw the med directly into there. Other times I will use a separate syringe to draw up my med, and then draw up some nss from the tip of the flush.

Travelling to Myanmar is not only a voyage into a different geographic region, but also a voyage back in time. How far back in time you can travel depends on the destinations you choose to visit. Myanmar's capital Yangon can take you back 20 or 30 years compared to most other capital cities in South East Asia. However, a visit to the backwash hill tribes is more like a voyage into the middle ages!
MAI Myanmar Airways International
Myanmar Airways International (MAI) is an international carrier with three major routes into this fascinating, unique and vast country. Flights from Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore operate into Yangon, which was until recently the capital of the country (see Alternative View). The fleet is made up of various types of ATR, Fokker and a MD 82 aircraft. The only daily service is between Yangon and Bangkok, which takes around 45 minutes and currently operates at 10:15 each morning from Bangkok. Yangon International Airport is the only international entry point into the country for air travellers.
Flights to Burma on Myanmar Airways
The capital of Myanmar (or Burma as it was known before independence from British rule in 1948) is Yangon formerly Rangoon, Yes? No, as from 2006 the administrative capital has been moved by the Government to Naypyidaw which is away from the coast and an overnight train journey from the major city of Yangon. This is a country unlike any other in the world today, the alternative airlines on-line booking process may be the easiest part of your journey into this military run, ethnic melting pot.
Alternative Airlines the UK site for immediate confirmed on-line bookings. Myanmar sits at the crossroads of Asia's great civilisations of India and China, and looks out onto the vast Indian Ocean next to Thailand.

Nelly's Success Story
Project Literacy changed my life from the first moment I learned about it. The first time I came to the Watertown Library was because I like to read, so a very dear friend took me to get my library card to be able to get books in Spanish. It was then, when I saw a flyer about the PL free English classes. For me it was like seeing the light, because, back then although I was able to read in English, I was not able to talk and less understand when somebody talked to me.
My boss was a very nice lady. She used to write notes for me, so I could understand her instructions. The problem was when she talked to me and worst if it was on the telephone. When I needed to inform her about an event, I had to write it down on a piece of paper first, before calling her, because just the idea of calling her made me very nervous. I misunderstood anyways, though, like the day she told me we had turkey for dinner. I thought she had said "charqui"(it means dry meat that we eat in my country) so I started looking for "charqui" but I couldn't find any, happily I found a note with the word "turkey" written on it and the date. Now I laugh about it, not back then.
I decided to apply to PL so I had an interview and got into the waiting list. I was so happy when they told me I could start taking classes. It was a wonderful experience, not only because I learned to speak and understand English, but I also learn about American Culture, how to solve some daily problems, how to do an interview for a new job, how to make a resume, etc. My life changed completely. It was not an easy process. It was not a quick process. But the teachers and staff were there supporting us always. How could I forget all of that?
Former student, Nelly

Californication Review: Decadence Incarnateby Chris O'Hara at . Comments
On Californication this week, Atticus took a break from doing cocaine off his mirror this week to actually look at himself in it.
Just when Hank had found his creative mojo again and Charlie was on the path to career reincarnation, their meal ticket decided to hang up his leather pants and work on his sobriety on "The Abby."
Unable to bring down the walls of Castle Abstinence on their first attempt, Hank and Faith needed some bigger guns - and few can pop off more colorfully than Richard Bates. I think I would have gone to class a lot more consistently in college if he had been one of my professors.
His message to live first, write later, was very apropos given Becca's choice to go abroad. His passion for teaching was evident, but all Hank had to do was dangle the adventure of smuggling drugs into rehab in front of his nose and he was out the door like Indiana Jones.
With Atticus back up to "speed," Hank's professional life was back afloat, but with the departure of Becca, things with Karen are headed into the unknown. Has Becca been the glue that has held them together all these years? Becca was a divisive force between them as as much as she served to unify them with her sharp insights into their romantic dysfunction.
I loved when she dispelled any hope Hank may have been holding onto of a a fairytale ending for him and her mom. Becca has never sugarcoated her feelings about either caregiver, which is why her comment about them both being equally messed up and incredible was so touching yet poignant.
Becca's advice to Hank was to not stand still, but to keep moving. Becca most often was the one thing that kept Hank grounded. With her gone and Karen pretty aloof, I could see him going on a pilgrimage of his own. I hope he decides to bring Faith along. He of all people needs to get out of L.A. for some time.
So, no, I don't see us celebrating a reunion of Hank and Karen anytime soon, but let's hear it for the Runkles! What a crazy scenario that was, to see the two of them caught in the clutches of crazy Ophelia. Marcy lost her voice for a few episodes on Californication Season 6, but her tongue was sharp as ever this week with quotes like the one where she told her captor what being a feminist was really about. Charlie doesn't have the bankroll Stu does, but his heart could choke a hippo and it never really ever stopped beating for his little Cokey Smurf.
Becca's leaving definitely did feel like the end of something. Karen appeared ready to pull even further away from Hank, which I think might be best for now. Faith is really starting to cement herself into Hank's life as much as any female character has been able to do so recently. I'm not saying Karen should run off into the arms of Nero or Atticus though. She needs some distance and I think Hank owes it to himself also to see how he feels about Faith without Karen always around.
Such a terrible show, what started out as an original idea quickly morphed into cliched Hollywood drivel...on repeat, over & over & over again
At the end of the episode, when Karen suggested that Becca was the only thing keeping her and Hank together, the obvious thing would have been for Hank to deny that and follow her up the walk to the door and sweet-talk her. Pretty much what he always has done...he has never missed an opportunity to remind Karen that she is his one-and-only and that he'll give up everything else for her right then & there. But this time, he didn't...he walked away. I really think this is the most significant turning point in this entire series. It is the first time Hank has not pursued Karen...the first five seasons were the same dynamic...Hank chases Karen, gets super-close and then something happens to thwart him. But this season hasn't been about that...the only chasing has been occasional, subtle instances of Karen doing to the chasing...and Hank hasn't reciprocated, partly because he has Faith, the first girl who has been at all comparable to Karen for Hank. To me, this is a fundamental shift...looking ahead to the season finale, it's hard to tell what's going to happen. At this point in every previous season, Hank had almost won Karen back, only to be thwarted in the last episode. But now that there's more distance than ever, and Hank's not pursuing at all, will they actually end up together on Sunday? Or is this truly the end?
I think Faith is the first female character whose ever been on this show, that has given Karen a genuine run for her money, and you can see it reflected in Karen's totally hostile reactions to Faith. Usually she looks at the other women like they are a passing phase, which they totally are, but with Faith she is very insecure. Not that I still wouldn't turn lesbian for Karen, she is amaaaazing! But Faith has also got something special. It's so nice to see a season of this where Hank is just not rooting everything that moves, and starting to redevelop as a genuine person with some morals and family love, he was becoming more and more despicable in the previous seasons since his arrest. Runcle is awesome, but I really like Stu and Marcy, thought it was a bit weird. I like Runkle with the deceased Rockstar's widow. So enjoying all the rockers this season, bringing it back to the awesomness of the Ashby Season!!!

Published on ArtPatient
I love comics and I'm always looking at how I can improve my own work by examining other creators' works. Every comic has strong points we can learn from. The good results can only come by actually making comics – it takes dedication, immeasurable effort and never ending practice. What I hope we can avoid is having to learn everything by pure trial and error. Not everyone has the same skills, let alone the skill levels necessary to create great work.
What we can do is build on the successes of others.

Stockings and Stereotypes (N.B. sometimes I like to have a rant…)
In a world where fashion is liberation, and women are no longer bound by the strict dressing rules society would have once imposed on us, you'd think by now we'd have gotten used to the 'anything goes' rule. Sadly, this isn't so.
2009 saw the underwear-as-outerwear trend make its mark, with fashion seeing the inclusion of stockings, corset-style tops and slip dresses – but it doesn't mean the world welcomed it with open arms. There were those that called it 'slutty', those which said it appeared as if the wearer had just stepped out in their outerwear, whether the trend was tastefully worn or not. And yet, in this 'liberated' world, you'd think a girl who decided to wear a hint of lace or show a bit of hosiery may be allowed the freedom of expression.
Personally, I love the trend. Call it what you will, I don't see a problem with stockings or slip dresses. Tastefully done and not taken to extremes, I love an outfit with a bit of underwear-as-outerwear, stylishly so . But it doesn't stop the odd disapproving look being thrown at me in the street, and it definitely doesn't stop my mother having lectures over my dress sense (even though I'm pretty sure I'm old enough to dress myself, thank you very much…).
Photos: lookbook.nu
Wearing lace does not make you a 'whore'…in the same way that wearing black doesn't make you a 'goth' or wearing flowery prints doesn't make you a 'girly girl'. We all know, or have the illusion of knowing, it's what's on the inside that counts.
An outfit can make a statement, but it can't make you who you are. So why is it that people can make an opinion of a girl based on what she's wearing? Can it really be justified to assume things just based on how people choose to express themselves?
I only say this because I've come to notice recently the stereotypes associated with fashion. For something which is meant to create individuality and personality, sometimes we are as constricted and typecast with it as we are set apart. Sometimes you've got to look past the clothes and find the person underneath.
Fashion is expression. Take it as you want.

We are excited to announce the 11th International Imaging Genetics Conference, to be held on January 19th
and 20th, 2015 at the Beckman Center of the National Academy of Sciences in Irvine, CA.
This international symposium was held initially to assess the new technology and innovation in the various
established fields of genetics and imaging, and to facilitate the transdisciplinary fusion needed to optimize the development of the
emerging field of Imaging Genetics. Over the past decade, the conference has helped to define and document progress in the field and to
create a dialogue for the challenges and opportunities it faces.
The International Imaging Genetics Conferences bring together national and international experts in
neuroimaging, genetics, data-mining, visualization and statistics. Targeting physicians and scientific researchers, this annual conference
features presentations from investigators world-wide and places emphasis on facilitating in-depth discussions among the participants and
presenters. The 3rd through 6th conferences offered new workshops on Imaging for Geneticists and Genetics for Brain Imagers, and the 8th-10th
conferences hosted a workshop on the SOLAR software and Imaging Genetic analyses. The 5th-10th conferences featured posters submitted by
researchers working in the field of Imaging Genetics, and the archived abstracts can be seen here.
Given the known importance of both genetics and environment in brain function, and the role of neuroimaging
in revealing brain dysfunction, the synergism of integrating genetics with brain imaging will fundamentally change our understanding of human
brain function in disease. To fully realize the promise of this synergy, we must develop novel analytic, statistical, and visualization
techniques for this new field.
We are pleased to be continuing this important conference into its second decade, and look forward to seeing
you at the 11th Imaging Genetics Conference.

1.5 Strategic/General Recertification Credits
Partner: One associated with another especially in an action (Miriam Webster). It has been more than 15 years since Dave Ulrich introduced the concept of the HR Business Partner as a future model for impactful HR. At its core, the HR Business Partner represents a function integral to & imbedded in the organization, at the business unit level in large organizations or small. It doesn't have to "align" because it is already "part of." And yet, almost two decades later, few of us bear the title or have organizational structure that reflect that kind of integration.
The good news? It is about YOU, & your skill set, your contribution - more than the title or the reporting relationships. Query most HR leaders who found the way to the much lauded "table" & they share a common path - whether they had the title or not, they operated as partners - from the beginning.
What are the skills of a successful HR Business Partner? Analytical ability, accountability systems, courage, ability to see the big picture, power & influence, to name a few. And most importantly, a focus on solutions & results from the organization's point of view.

Sören and Sara
A pike fisher and his fly: Senior pike fisher Sören Essebo invited junior pike fisher Kasper Mühlbach for a day of... pike fishing at the South Swedish coast. Besides fishing they talked about Sörens web site, publishing on the internet and why he has fallen in love with White Pike Sara.
Join the two for a day here.
Messy Pike Fly
Big fish fly: Not one of Martin Joergensen's usual pike flies. For that it is way too complex and has too many tying steps and too many different materials. He doesn't like complex pike flies. "I spend dozens of minutes tying one, and a pike spends seconds shredding it!" he says.
He ties it just the same in this article.

on the Flight Deck
Standish Backus #51
Watercolor, 1956
A scrambling, heroic effort had to be made on several occasions by the deck force of the ice breaker to save the helicopters which were breaking loose from their mooring in the mountainous seas between New Zealand and Antarctica. These vital pieces of equipment built by Sikorsky weigh some four tons each and with the ship rolling upwards of fifty degrees had become almost unmanageable and a threat to the lives of all on deck, who had to run great risks to secure them from crashing over the side.
Severing the Tow Lines
Standish Backus #40
Japanese ink and watercolor on paper, 1956
"With continued emphasis on the engineering, mechanical and electronic accomplishments of today's Navy, one hears less and less of the workaday activities of the still very vital deck force. The art of seamanship as practiced by the Coast Guardsmen of the icebreaker U.S.C.G.S. Eastwind brought great credit to their service in the eyes of Navy men and demonstrated repeatedly the sterling qualities required of men engaging in this rugged business. One such incident is here presented as U.S.C.G.S. Eastwind's bos'ns mates brave the icy blasts and congealing seas sweeping over the fantail in the 'sixties' south of New Zealand. The Navy's U.S.S. YOG-34, a small harbor tanker, is being towed to Antarctica. In the heavy going the rope and cloth chafing gear protecting the tow cable where it passes through the stern eye must be replaced every few hours. Frequently the men performing this and similarly essential jobs were the truly unsung heroes of the expedition." --Commander Standish Backus
The Antarctic Shrine
Standish Backus #58
Oil on canvas, 1957
"Sir Ernest Shackleton's historic British Antarctic Expedition of 1907 chose Cape Royds on Ross Island as the site of their headquarters. Today, fifty years later, it remains in much the same state as when they left it in 1909, even to their last meal still ready on the table. So free from deterioration and corrosion is this relic that much of the foodstuffs is yet edible, the magazines of the day quite unyellowed, and seemingly the only disarrangement has resulted from the screaming 100 mile per hour winds. In the painting, units of Task Force 43 may be seen several miles off Cape Royds fighting their way through frozen McMurdo Sound behind an icebreaker toward the base at Hut Point, thirty miles to the south. In the background the great mountains fifty miles away in Victoria Land peer under the overcast. The campsites of such early, heroic explorers as Scott and Shackleton have since been declared shrines by Admiral Dufek and are not to be molested in any way." --Commander Standish Backus
The Great Ross Ice Barrier
Standish Backus #39
Watercolor on paper, 1956
"The U.S. Bases at Kainan Bay [Little America V] and at McMurdo Sound [Hut Point] are separated by the width of the Ross Ice Shelf, a distance of about 500 miles. In making the passage between the bases along the face of the ice barrier, a sheer jagged wall of ice usually from 50 feet to 200 feet high, ships could expect to encounter not only a vast variety of sea ice, bergs in diverse stages of decay, strange meteorological phenomena where the comparatively warm sea air temperatures rubbed against the frigidity of the air from the ice cap, but could also observe the whole menagerie of wild life; whales, such as fin back, baleens, blues, bottle noses and killers; seals, birds, especially the snow petrels, sea gulls and especially the penguins. Here are shown the snow petrels, baleen whales, icebergs, ice floes, the barrier face in the background disappearing over the horizon at each end, the light sky over the barrier called 'ice blink' and the dark water 'water sky.' Navy icebreaker Glacier leads the cargo transport Arneb safely through the ice fields." --Commander Standish Backus
Ice Breaker Penetrating the Ice Pack
Standish Backus #47
Watercolor on paper, 1956
"Pack ice is composed of massed fragments of sea ice drifting with wind and current. Modern Icebreakers such as Glacier, Edisto and Eastwind normally transit such ice fields without difficulty or loss of speed. However, thinned skinned vessels must be protected from ice pressures against their hulls. This may be accomplished by leading the escorted vessel through the dangerous areas with its bow lashed firmly into the notched stern of the icebreaker. Here Eastwind is represented towing YOG-34 through the Ross Sea pack, while overhead one of the helicopters scouts the ice conditions." --Commander Standish Backus
Ghost of Little America III
Standish Backus #45
Watercolor on paper, 1956
"The site of the Bay of Whales, formerly a deep indentation in the face of the Ross Ice barrier, presented a weird display of ice formations resembling fortifications with towers and battlements. Completing this impression of the ruins of another civilization was the discovery of man-made objects such as fuel drums and strips of canvas exposed or hanging from the face of the ice shelf and marking the settlement known as Little America III dating from 1939. Once some miles from the open water, this part of the past, perfectly preserved, has moved seaward with time and next year will join the fleet of great tabular icebergs that drift always eastward around the continent. Annual visitors to the ice face from the north are the dazzling snow petrels." --Commander Standish Backus
The Road to Hut Point
Standish Backus #57
Oil on canvas, 1957
In McMurdo Sound, icebreakers came
alongside the U.S.S. Wyandot, got the cargo and then ferried
it up the channel through the heavy ice to deliver it to tractor
trains on the ice shelf. Tractors dragged it by sled to the supply
dump where it would be available for building the Air Operating
"The bay ice in McMurdo Sound being reluctant to break up and depart in keeping with the shipping schedule of Task Force 43, it remained for the ice-breakers to plow a furrow for themselves leading nearly sixty miles south from the open sea to a final position of six miles short of the base at Hut Point. It was a rocky road through ice ten feet thick. The broken fragments, having no place to go, had to be forced under the ships' bottoms and through the whirling propellers. The wear and tear of such beating, eventually accumulated broken propeller shafts in Edisto and Eastwind. Hut Point, in the painting, is at the base of the dark, triangular observation hill on her way to take on another load from the cargo ships. Offloading at the end of the cut channel is Edisto. White Island is the backdrop to the southeast."--Commander Standish Backus
Standish Backus #43
Drawing on Scratchboard,1956
The approved method of fastening a ship to the Antarctic Continent is to moor it to a dead man buried in the ice. A dead man is a husky piece of timber frozen into the firm sea ice with a steel cable strap passed around it through the ships hawser so that it may be released instantly should an ice alert or blizzard warning be sounded. Symbolically it might represent man's tenuous and probably temporary hold on Antarctica.

Upper East Side
- $$$$
Time Out says
Posted: Mon Feb 22 2010
The modus operandi at Chuckie's is "the higher the better." As such, the 22-year-old shoe boutique houses enough dangerously high-heeled and platformed designer shoes to set any footwear enthusiast's heart aflutter. And though the steep price tags might be hard to justify, one look at the selection of Jimmy Choo, YSL and Camilla Skovgaard kicks is enough to make even the most responsible shopper go weak in the knees. The boutique is one of two locations (the other is on Madison Avenue); in addition to its plethora of up-to-the-minute platform pumps, peep-toe boots and flats, Chuckies hawks belts and bags by Miu Miu, Lanvin, Chloé and Stella McCartney.

Logitech K310 review
We've seen washable keyboards before, but they were pretty stodgy old office designs. The K310 by comparison looks pretty smart. Unfortunately that didn't last long, as we quickly put our filthiest writer to work on it. After a couple of weeks it was pretty mucky, but to speed up the process we added copious pastry crumbs, a hefty dash of coffee dregs and ground in some fluff that had accumulated at the bottom of an old desktop PC – plus some hand cream for good measure.
Then it was off to the sink for a clean up. The keyboard can take temperatures up to 50C and can be completely submerged (to a depth of 30cm) for up to five minutes. Having given it a long soak and then attacked it with the supplied brush, which lets you get right under the keys. It came out sparkling – clean enough to eat our lunch off – though it took a few minutes for the water to drain out.
As a keyboard it's a little less successful. It's a wired design, which we like as we find replacing batteries a pain; and the pop-out feet give it a comfortable typing angle. However, the keys are spongy and lack feedback. This may well be a problem related to the waterproofing but that's not going to cheer you up if you've got a long document to type. Although for entering URLs, search terms, keyboard shortcuts and short emails it's fine.
If you're looking for a keyboard that can survive anything yourself or your children can throw at it, then the Logitech K310 is a good choice. Although we wouldn't pick it if typing is a big part of your PC usage. A compromise product then, but not a bad one.

People being the operative word here, as the statement "we're going to look for other means for efficiency" most certainly suggests plants may once again find themselves on the chopping block.
After a year of cost-cutting that resulted in more than 2,400 job cuts, Goldman Sachs is satisfied with its staffing levels and doesn't intend to conduct more large layoffs. Chief Financial Officer David Viniar said the firm has "largely implemented our announced expense reductions" and is "relatively well-positioned, assuming the environment stays where it is." He was speaking on a conference call with analysts to discuss first-quarter earnings. "We're going to look for other means for efficiency," he said. "I wouldn't expect anything major to change from where we are."

Flags will decorate graves in Winsted
WINSTED -- By the dawn's early light on Memorial Day, the flags will be there beside each of roughly 2,100 veterans graves.
Under a budget-paring move several years ago, parade expenses and flags for veterans' grave sites were dropped several years ago. Members of VFW Post 296 assumed the cost -- about $1 per flag -- until this year, when the funds ran dry.

We love cloud-based products and we love getting paid. Herego, we love Quote Roller's integration with Freshbooks. We especially love how it is seriously responsive and mobile friendly — who wants to be stuck behind a desk doing accounting, when they could invoice on the fly, while working to grow their business?
So many of Quote Roller's clients work on projects like web design, marketing and financial services which bill by the hour. Quote Roller's flexible, customizable pricing table gives them the freedom to give their clients choices. Then, Freshbooks makes it easy to track time, log expenses, and create and send those invoices on the go.
Both apps were created from their founders looking to automate sales and invoicing to avoid mistakes. Freshbooks founder Mike and Quote Roller's Mikita and Serge all witnessed market needs and worked to build apps to satisfy those needs, helping small businesses save time.
Quote Roller has a five-star rating in Freshbooks' app store. Both Quote Roller and Freshbooks also integrate with Basecamp Classic, Highrise, Capsule CRM, PayPal, Gmail, Google Apps, and RightSIgnature, so you can perform all the stages of a deal from within the cloud.
