Chronically late patients... - page 2
How do you all handle late patients? I work in a peds clinic where there are a fair amount of chronically late patients, not 5 minutes late, but more like 15-20 minutes late. They never apologize, or... Read More
0Jun 6, '12 by caliotter3Until your office adopts a reschedule and no show fee policy, you will encounter people who will take advantage of your lenient approach. They care nothing about who is inconvenienced by their thoughtlessness. Hit them with a $50 no show fee and they might change.
2Jun 6, '12 by SHGR, MSN, RNI'll admit. I am a chronically late person. And it doesn't bother me when patients are late. People walk in unscheduled with a glucometer problem, or weird issues they can't figure out, and if they need to see me for their chronic issues, they know they might have to wait. Or they say, I'm going to bring in this paperwork tomorrow. They can't give a time. Our patient population is just disorganized.
When I have an appointment, I bring a book. I've waited more than two hours to see a doc, this is pretty regular. I waited three hours once- that was excessive.
But, for the most part, I'm pretty casual about time, and this goes both ways.Miss Lizzie and sharpeimom like this. -
4Jun 6, '12 by Not_A_Hat_Person, RNFrustration over tardiness goes both ways. I refuse to deal with docs who charge no-show fees or who refuse to see patients who arrive late. If I arrive on-time for my appointment, I'll have to wait at least an hour before I'm seen. If I call ahead, the secretary won't tell me anything (when did clinic wait times become a national security issue?). If an 11:00 appointment means I'll be seen at 12:30, why shouldn't I just come in at 12:30?
0Jun 6, '12 by AQEELSMOMWhats so hard with saying with a smile, "Hey there, i see you're running late! Your appointment time was at x oclock! You know, I want to be able to provide you with the best care that I can, so next time try to come at your appointment time so we don't have to feel rushed, because there are people coming right after you", and then pat them on the back and guide them to where they have to be. I do this all the time and have no problem with latecomers anymore.
1Jun 6, '12 by grownuprosie, ASNAs a front office receptionist of 4 years, some of the comments here are like nails on a chalk board to my ears! LOL!
A few misconceptions to clear up:
The doctor is usually late, so i should be too. With the exception of a physician new to practice who does not have their time management skills yet, the reason for them being late is probably not under their control. Urgent and late pts make the rest of the pts late. If you use this logic you are part of the problem, not the solution.
The Front office should be able to tell me how late the doctor is running when I call ahead of time. You can see the look foreboding come across my face when pts ask this over the phone. Why? Because if i admit that we are late, they will come in late. Nine times out of ten, we are caught up by the time their appointment comes around and they are no where to be found, making us behind again. They come in 20 minutes late claiming that we told them it was ok. If i tell them we are on time, and something urgent comes up or a pt ahead of them comes in late and makes us late, they will throw a tantrum. I have seen adults kick the wall and scream because, "I lied to them." That is why I made it a personal policy not to answer that question. It always ends poorly. "I do not anticipate the dr to be running behind for your appointment, we encourage you to arrive at your scheduled time of 0000.", is all you are going to get out of me.amoLucia likes this. -
1Jun 6, '12 by SHGR, MSN, RNQuote from grownuprosieSo true! I never tell people about the grace period, and chronic latecomers I give a fake earlier time to, as one poster mentioned in this thread (and yes, my mom does that to me too!)Because if i admit that we are late, they will come in late. Nine times out of ten, we are caught up by the time their appointment comes around and they are no where to be found, making us behind again. They come in 20 minutes late claiming that we told them it was ok....
For our clientele, I'd prefer to do away with specific appointment times whatsoever, but that would be a whole 'nother thread.grownuprosie likes this. -
4Jun 6, '12 by woohQuote from grownuprosieWell it's not my fault that traffic was bad. But you expect me to plan a bit more time for the drive. Just in case right?The doctor is usually late, so i should be too. With the exception of a physician new to practice who does not have their time management skills yet, the reason for them being late is probably not under their control. Urgent and late pts make the rest of the pts late. If you use this logic you are part of the problem, not the solution.
Well that's what the office needs to do. Plan a bit more time for the urgent and late patients. Just in case. If you aren't doing that. YOU are the problem. (the system at the office, not this poster in particular) -
1Jun 6, '12 by JZ_RNThere should be a late policy, but then again, if they have to wait when they show up on time... I see both sides.
I'd make them wait an irritating amount of time one day, then go in and say, oh, sorry I'm running a little behind, we both know how rude it is to be late, I apologize...maybe they'll get the picture.Last edit by JZ_RN on Jun 6, '12grownuprosie likes this. -
1Jun 6, '12 by tigerlogicI can't stand being late as it seems disrespectful. I'm almost always early. Except for doctor's appointments. They always make me wait in the lobby and then when I've found an article in an old magazine that's kinda interesting they move me to a room where I wait. I feel that's part of the proccess and they are dealing with all sorts of things. However, it doesn't motivate me to show up early and I show up on time purely out of habit.
If people are late why can't you just send someone else in out of order? Motivate people to be early/on time. My accupuncturist always gets me in early when I'm early or I can have a cup of their expensive tea while I'm waiting.wooh likes this. -
1Jun 6, '12 by NurseTrishaHI dealt with a lot of this when I worked in a Family Practice Clinic. Here is how I ran my ship: Appt times were every 15 minutes with a 5 minute grace period. For instance, if the 0900 pt didn't show up until 0907, they could either reschedule or wait to be seen during a break (but no guarantee when that will be). Some people didn't care, and would wait because it got them out of work for several hours. Others would get irritated, saying that they waste time waiting for the doc. Most finally understood why the doc is running late when I would lay it out for them. Show them that if they are 7 minutes late, that puts the doc 7 minutes behind. The next late person might add on another 8 minutes, so now the doc is running 15 minutes behind. It all adds up. Also some pts make an appt for something little, like refill of allergy meds, but then bring up on the way out the door "oh, hey, doc, sometimes I get chest pain. Is that OK?" which creates a whole mess of testing, checking, etc that eats up more time. Rarely is it entirely the doc's fault for running behind - it is patients who don't see the whole picture of how a clinic runs.JZ_RN likes this.

Even more interesting than the fads themselves are the genuine contemporary styles that are unchanged by them. When the little archetypal houses came out of the woodwork, they looked new and interesting. But then, as more and more artists started doing them, they began to seem trite. Very soon after that, they started to look completely outdated, the death knell for any art that calls itself contemporary.
At the same time, legitimate styles somehow manage to hold their own, never becoming worn out, always looking up to date and therefore still contemporary. And they occupy the same vaunted position in the art world before, during and after a fad's run.
What brought all of this to mind is the spectacular Jeff Wenzel, now on display at the William Havu Gallery. Wenzel is an old-fashioned formalist, delving as he has for more than a decade into the depths of good old-fashioned abstract expressionism. A lot of things have come and gone during the more than half a century that abstract expressionism has been on contemporary art's agenda, but it's outlasted just about all of them. There have been times during which abstract expressionism has been on the outs -- like when those little houses were being built -- but artists kept doing it anyway, and the watershed style eventually came out on top. Today, abstract expressionism remains a major current in painting and sculpture, and the style is regularly in evidence at top galleries and museums.
Wenzel wasn't even born when the first abstract expressionists were making art history back in the late 1940s, but he does have an authentic and direct link to the giants of that era. In the mid-1980s, while Wenzel was earning his MFA at the University of California at Berkeley, his mentor was the late Peter Voulkos, one of the greatest abstract-expressionist sculptors of all time.
Voulkos's medium was clay, and, not surprisingly, Wenzel, who was the master's student and studio assistant, was a ceramic artist at the time. Clay, which is soft and pliable, like paint, which is runny and drippy, is a good medium for abstract expressionism because it facilitates the expressionism part of the style, responding directly to the physical touch of the artist.
After leaving UC-Berkeley in 1985, Wenzel exhibited his ceramics in California and built a reputation in the Bay Area. But a little over ten years ago, the artist, who had been painting all along, dedicated himself to the medium exclusively, giving up on ceramics. At about the same time, he moved to Denver and almost immediately began showing his work here. Since then, he has established himself as one of the premier abstract painters in the region. Wenzel exhibited for many years at the now defunct Mackey Gallery, and his work was seen briefly at Judish Fine Arts before he defected to Havu last summer.
Jeff Wenzel fills the spaces running from Havu's entryway to the base of the grand staircase with gorgeous automatist compositions, most of which are huge. The paintings, while clearly different from Wenzel's earlier efforts, are apparently also continuations of concerns he's dealt with for a long time. His pieces from the mid- to early '90s had high-relief surfaces that reflected Wenzel's background in ceramics; he treated the paper on which he worked as though it were clay, twisting it, pulling it apart and putting it back together. He would paint big pieces of paper, tear them up into smaller pieces, loosely reattach them and repeat the process over and over until he was satisfied with the results, which he would then mount on a black-painted board.
The new paintings at Havu are done in much the same way, but the surfaces, though still lively, are physically flat, an effect created by Wenzel having pressed the paper onto the wood panel on which the paintings are mounted. He has been perfecting this very effective method for the past couple of years, and I think the paintings work much better flat than they did when they were three-dimensional.
Wenzel's been thinking a lot about his lifelong commitment to abstract expressionism and whether or not he feels it's a credibly contemporary style. "Sometimes I think that what I'm doing is old hat, but really, everything has been done," Wenzel says. He believes post-modernism "burned itself out" and that there's a change on the horizon. "Things are coming around to work that's been done by artists all along, and more and more people are realizing that it's valid to be working in this way."
For Wenzel, abstract expressionism is a well that hasn't yet run dry. "I know people say, 'Yeah, been there, done that,'" he says, "but there's a lot more that can come out of it; there's a lot more to be mined. It's not something to be touched on and then to move on; it's something that won't be used up in a lifetime, or in the lifetimes of generations of artists. It's just like working from the landscape or the figure: It's inexhaustible."

I have this in my pond. Last year I wintered it in an aquarium that became quite skunky. I have 2 rooted shoots that are outside the pot in my pond. I am tempted to set up an inside pond for the winter but that would have to be an inexpensive and easy project to do.
Could I grow this as a houseplant in moist soil...or... Is it a bulb, should I attempt to dry off and save the large plant as a bulb and keep the shoots alive as house plants? |

Before I learned 'Black Magic' is hardy here I over-wintered it in a big saucer I kept water in. It's been so dry this year I may have lost it, in spite of spending most my time and energy watering! I admired your picture of it on the 'other forum'--you shouldn't have any trouble keeping it in a pot in a saucer with good light and water. |
I overwinter it in my unheated garage (which doesn't go below freezing) in regular potting soil that is moistened occasionally - not as an aquatic at all. It just needs enough water to keep the soil from becoming dry as dust. In my experience, this variety does not form tubers which are substantial enough to survive if stored dry without soil in winter. |

Now that I've finally found a place to get answers about Elephant Ears, how about overwintering Illustris. Do I need to keep it as a house plant in water or can I keep it in my root cellar and water it occasionally. Any thoughts? I'm in MN zone 4 |

'Black maig' grows like a weed here in my garden. It is hot and dry here most of the year, and these are given no special care, except that I 'drool' over it as it's one of my favourite. It isn't planted near a pool or a water source. |

"If I bring wine, I find a great bag, and I might add something practical, like a corkscrew," says Kevin Cohee, head of California-based Do An Event (doanevent.com). "Or, I'll take a gourmet food item that I've purchased in bulk, separate it and create packages wrapped up in a special way."

Because North Dakota is located in the northern region of the United States, most of your cool season grasses will grow well in lawns and most notably Kentucky bluegrass and fine fescue.
Planting grass seed in North Dakota can be done between the months of spring and fall but keep in mind that planting in spring may give grass a longer growing season in which to get well established, but the summer heat and weeds may cause problems. Fall seeding minimizes danger of heat injury, but allow about 6 weeks of 50° F to 70° F. Lawns seeded within a week of Labor Day are more likely to fill in completely for winter and produce a thicker turf appearance for the following spring compared to lawns seeded in Fall. You want to plant your grass seed in the late summer because the warmer temperatures, accompanied with sufficient water, will encourage good grass seed germination.
Kentucky Bluegrass
The primary grass used for lawns in North Dakota is Kentucky bluegrass. It is considered the best quality turf grass for cooler climates and makes a fine textured lawn. It includes the ability to fill-in damaged parts without needing to reseed. Bluegrass is additionally a lot more winter-hardy compared to other cool season grass varieties. Newer varieties will be more resistant against diseases. It performs best in full sun, but could be mixed with a fine fescue to use in shady areas. Bluegrass might need one to three months to germinate and establish, based upon site conditions. It makes an outstanding athletic field. Bluegrass could be seeded or sodded for establishment.
Kentucky bluegrass planted in North Dakota is often blended with other cool season grasses like perennial rye grass. Its quick establishment time frame works well with the reduced establishment time of bluegrass. It's also a fine textured grass much like bluegrass with good drought tolerance. Not necessarily as cold tolerant as bluegrass but works well in southern North Dakota lawns. Plant Kentucky bluegrass at 3 pounds per 1,000 square feet or 1.5 pounds per 1,000 square feet for over-seeding projects. Mow at 2 to 3 inches.
Fine Fescue
Fine fescue varieties are fine-leaved turf grasses that are suited well for conditions of shade, low soil moisture, low fertility, and soils with unfavorable pH levels. The fine fescues planted in sandy soils with good drainage grow best so adding a layer of sand on top of your soil surface during soil preparation can be effective. Extra applications of fertilizer, frequent irrigation or establishment on poorly drained soils can lead to a drop in quality and plant body. With ideal management, the fine fescues could make an attractive turf for your lawn. Fine fescues are seldom seeded by itself. Fine fescues are commonly found in mixtures with the other cool-season turf grasses on low maintenance or shady lawns. Plant at 5 pounds per 1,000 square feet and maintain mowing height between 3 and 4 inches.
Buffalo Grass
A true prairie grass with good heat and drought tolerance that is mostly established by vegetative plant parts but can be established by seed which are collected from female plants. Buffalograss is a fine textured grass that forms a dense turf with a light green color. It is not tolerant to sandy or salty soils and will not grow in shade. Buffalograss can be used for low maintenance lawns in southern North Dakota and does not require a large amount of nitrogen or water. Plant at 3 lbs per 1,000 square feet. If plenty of water is supplied, buffalo grass can be cut at 1 ½ inches but for a truly low maintenance lawn, mow at 2 ½ to 3 inches during summer months.

iPad Air review
Welcome to our iPad Air review. Our iPad Air review includes: everything you need to know about Apple's iPad Air tablet, the iPad Air's specs, features and physical design and build quality, speed tests, price and buying options. We also answer two questions: should you upgrade from the iPad 3 or iPad 4 to the iPad Air? And should you buy the iPad Air or the iPad 4?
The iPad Air 2 has now launched. To find out more about your current iPad options, read our iPad Air 2 review, and our updated iPad buying guide for autumn/winter 2014.
You can say many things about the iPad Air, Apple's fifth-generation iPad tablet, but not that it's more of the same. After three iPads in a row that were physically near-identical, Apple has come up with a tablet that attempts to redefine the category. And, a few reservations aside, the iPad Air is a stunning success.
Read our alternatives to the iPad with Retina display, 4th generation iPad
What people love about the iPad Air | What people hate about the iPad Air
iPad Air vs iPad 2 | iPad Air vs iPad 4 | iPad Air vs iPad mini 2 with Retina display
iPad Air review: The basics
Let's begin with the essentials - skip ahead to the next section if you know the basics.
The iPad Air is the fifth and (as of 23rd April 2014) latest in Apple's line of full-size iPad tablet computers, all of which have 9.7in screens (measured diagonally). Of these, only the iPad Air and the iPad 2 are currently available to buy; the iPad 1, iPad 3 and iPad 4 have all been discontinued. (Apple also makes two smaller iPad mini tablets, the iPad mini 1 and iPad mini 2 with Retina display.) If you'd like to see how the iPad has evolved, here's a video comparing all five full-size iPad models:
iPad Air review: Interface
The iPad Air runs Apple's own operating system software, iOS, and if you buy one today it will have the latest version of iOS, iOS 7, pre-installed. (In future Apple will release new versions of iOS, and this will be made available as an optional update you can install easily.) Apple is the only company that makes tablets that run iOS. Almost all rival tablets will run either Google's Android operating system (here are some thoughts on iOS vs Android) or Microsoft's Windows 8 or Windows RT.
On top of iOS 7 and its basic functions, the iPad Air comes with a number of Apple's apps pre-installed - and while you can download alternative apps to perform their functions, the originals cannot be removed from your device unless you are willing to jailbreak it. Some people have mixed feelings about this.
The pre-installed Apple apps include: Mail, FaceTime (for free video calls), Contacts, Music, Videos, Camera, Photos, Calendar, Clock, Notes, the Safari web browser, Game Center (which manages high scores, achievements and multi-player gaming) and Reminders. You can therefore use your iPad Air for emailing, browsing the internet, playing music, placing FaceTime video calls and making notes pretty much 'out of the box' - just a little setup is required, and obviously you'll need to download or sync any music you want to listen to.
iOS 7 includes a number of accessibility features and interface tweak options. The one shown above is a popular feature that allows you to access the functions of the hardware buttons from the touchscreen - very handy if the Home button or power button stops working, an experience which lots of iPhone users have suffered. The iPad Air seems less prone to this fault, so far.
Beyond this, however, you can download and install additional apps from the App Store - which is itself accessed via a pre-installed app. Here you can choose from almost a million apps and games, a few more by Apple but the vast majority by third-party developers, for a variety of prices. Most are under a fiver; many are free. (See also: best free iPad games.)
iOS 7 runs smoothly and responsively on the iPad Air - as we'd expect, given that it's the newest generation of hardware running the newest generation of OS software. The iPad Air has a powerful processor that can handle day-to-day computing activities with ease, and indeed copes happily with advanced games and apps.
Apple's mobile devices are historically considered to offer a superior interface and user experience to many rival products, thanks in part to the way Apple designs both hardware and operating system software alongside one another (and maintains strict control over even third-party software) to ensure that all work together smoothly. You should see very little slowdown or jittery interface behaviour.
That isn't to say that the iPad Air is immune to brief freezes on occasion, however; we've noticed a touch of sluggishness from time to time, usually when we've been playing a game for a while and the tablet has heated up. It would be wrong to suggest that the user experience is perfect - but it's very, very slick nonetheless.
iPad Air review: Which rival tablets are worth considering?
Returning to the iPad Air's rivals, here's a selection of some of the most obvious and/or appealing:
- Google Nexus 7: A highly popular alternative that runs Google Android. See Google Nexus 7 vs iPad comparison review.
- Google Nexus 10: Ditto, albeit with a larger screen. The numbers indicate the screen size, in inches.
- Tesco Hudl: Very much a budget alternative, with a far lower price tag than the iPad Air, but more limited features and performance. Probably the most appealing of the cheap tablets. See Should I buy an iPad, or a Tesco Hudl?
- Amazon Kindle Fire HD: The Kindle Fire adds general tablet functionality to Amazon's popular Kindle line of ebook readers, although it remains a more limited device than the iPad. Amazon's huge library of downloadable content - not least its ebooks - adds to the plus points. Tends to be more of a rival to the iPad minis.

While the iPad Air (and the other iPads) all run Apple's iOS operating system software (as we discuss above, at present they will come with the most recent version, iOS 7, preinstalled), most of the above run various versions of Google's Android software - although in some cases this has been heavily customised by the hardware manufacturer. The most obvious exception is Microsoft's Surface lineup, which is based on Windows.
As well as these tablets by rival companies, the iPad Air also faces competition from the other iPads. Along with the iPad Air, the iPads currently available are the iPad 4 (usually just called iPad with Retina display), the iPad mini (or iPad mini 1) and the iPad mini 2 (often called iPad mini with Retina display). If you're wondering which iPad to buy, here's our advice on that front:
The current iPad line-up, as of April 2014
And last of all, it's still possible to buy older tablets, including the iPad 1, iPad 2 and iPad 3, if you buy second-hand or from Apple refurbished store. Here's a little advice for that area: Guide to purchasing older Apple products.

Specs from Apple's UK website
And here are the iPad Air's dimensions and weight, compared with the rest of the iPad line-up
The iPad Air is state of the art - at the time of writing, at any rate - but you'll be able to match many of its specs at a similar or lower price with rival tablets. This is generally the case with Apple products. Apple is less interested in chasing the highest possible specs than in achieving an optimal user experience.
Nevertheless, if you're looking for the absolute best tablet in one particular area, the iPad Air might not be the device for you. On screen resolution, for instance, the iPad Air offers 2048x1536 pixels, at a pixel density of 264ppi (pixels per inch). But the Google Nexus 10 2 offers 2560x1600 on a 10.1in screen, which makes for around a 299ppi pixel density.
(Mind you, the Air is rated as a Retina display, and in principle it's sharp enough to fool the human eye, so whether you need a higher pixel density is debatable.)
On the camera front, indeed, the Nexus 10 2 again beats the iPad Air for numbers, with 8Mp and 2.1Mp cameras to the Air's 5Mp and 1.2Mp (rear- and front-facing). But our experience with the iPad Air's cameras has been impressive, as we will discuss in greater detail later in this review.
iPad Air review: An exceptionally thin and light tablet computer
Set against the original iPad, the iPad 2, the third-gen 'new iPad' and the iPad 4, the Apple iPad Air stands out first and foremost for its lightness. Like its half-namesake the MacBook Air, the iPad Air seems flabbergastingly light when you first pick it up.
As you can see in the specs above, the iPad Air weighs just 469g for the Wi-Fi-only model, or 478g for the iPad Air with the cellular 3G/4G option added. And it's only 7.5 mm thick.
How much thinner and lighter is that, exactly? The iPad Air sees a 22 percent weight cut from the iPad 2, and about 28 percent from the iPad 3 and 4 (which have heavier batteries to power their Retina displays). A percentage weight reduction in the twenties sounds significant but hardly earth-shattering, yet the difference somehow feels a lot more - it's like the iPad Air has crossed a threshold, and is now simply Light Enough. It's like the iPad mini in that respect.
Apologies for banging on about the weight factor, but we're not so much interested in the numerical, gram-for-gram decrease as in the effect on your everyday experience. That's why I described it as Light Enough - it's light enough, that is, to change the way you use your iPad. This seemingly minor weight cut makes all the difference. The iPad Air is a one-handed device, a portable computing device that really is portable in a way that seemed impossible a few years ago.
Having used the iPad Air every day for three months, with an iPad 3 and an iPad 4 knocking around in the background, we now acknowledge that our standards have been altered. We didn't think the iPad 3 and 4 were heavy; but they feel heavy now. That seems obvious, but it bears repeating: as with the Retina display, you won't realise you need a slimmer iPad until you try one out.
The iPad Air still isn't the lightest handheld computing device around - achieving that while offering the same versatile computing experience would be impossible - but the Air is light enough to be a realistic contender in fields where the iPad 4's weight counted against it. The Air is a trim little e-reader that you can happily tote in one hand for long chapters at a time, challenging Kindles and iPad minis as reading devices. It's a gaming handheld that doesn't weigh down a rucksack noticeably. It's a coffee-table browser that you can pick up absent-mindedly, and a note-taker and presentation device that doesn't make your briefcase feel like it's been filled with rocks.
But is it too light for a device with a 9.7in screen? That brings us to our next topic...
iPad mini 2 vs iPad Air comparison review: Which new iPad should I buy?
iPad Air review: build quality
As well as being a featherweight, the Air is remarkably slender for a 9.7in tablet: it's only 7.5mm thick. We were therefore more than a little concerned about the issue of robustness. In fact, the Air feels solid enough to set our minds at rest concerning 'snapping accidents'.
One issue we had, however, was with the iPad Air's screen (which we talk about in more detail later). This may simply be down to having less heft behind it, but when you tap or press the screen, it definitely seems to 'flex' more than the screens on the iPad 3 and iPad 4. The result is that the screen feels light and plasticky, rather than the solid glass feeling on the older devices. We found this particularly noticeable on the game Infinity Blade 3, where you frequently have to tap quickly to defeat enemies, but typing also shows up this issue. It's not a major problem, however.
The iPad Air's chassis has the same construction style as the iPad mini, constructed with a thinner bezel along the left and right sides when held in vertical, or portrait, mode. (The iPad 4 is wider and has more finger room to left and right.) It's therefore difficult to pick the Air up one-handed without touching the screen.
We were slightly concerned about accidentally brushing our fingertips against the screen while holding the iPad Air by the edge, but brief experiments with iBooks proved reassuring: the iPad Air appeared to intelligently ignore touchscreen input near the edges. Apple confirmed that the iPad Air is equipped with thumb rejection technology to handle this. It's the first full-size iPad to feature this, but the first iPad mini was similarly equipped.
If you've got big hands, you may be able to span the iPad Air's back with one hand - it's only 170mm wide. Holding the tablet in this way reminds you just how light the Air is, helped by the reduced thickness: just 7.5 mm, compared with the previous model's 9.3 mm. (For a summary of the key differences between the iPad 4 and iPad Air, see 'What's the difference between iPad 4 and iPad Air?' on the next page.)
The 'chamfered' edge around the iPad Air is smarter and more distinct than on older models, with a pleasant shine (that may, admittedly, dull with use). The button layout is familiar - although the volume rocker has been replaced with separate volume up and down - and there's an additional pin hole on top for a second microphone.

Birthday Blues
Ever wonder when you'll die?
According to some researchers, they discovered, after studying 2 million people, their is one day that you're more likely to die.
Think about it, is it Thanksgiving or Christmas when stress is high being with family?
Is it your wedding anniversary and the stress of buying a gift for your loved one?
Nope, you're more likely to die on your birthday than any other day of the year.
Researchers analyzed 2.4 million deaths over a 40-year period and came up with this theory.
The 'birthday blues' bring a rise in deaths from heart attacks, strokes, falls, suicides and even cancer. They found people over age 60 were 14% more likely to die on their birthdays.

Breaking: Ed Advised Voters to Freeze High Prices
UK Gas Prices Hit Multi-Year Lows on Oversupply
This just in from Reuters newswire will have political repercussions:
LONDON, June 4 (Reuters) – British spot and forward prices for wholesale natural gas fell to multi-year lows on Wednesday as oversupply combined with weak spring demand.
British gas for delivery next winter traded at 59.40 pence per therm in the afternoon, its lowest level since at least the third quarter of 2011, while day-ahead spot gas prices dropped close to four-year lows at 41.50 pence per therm.
"The gas market is completely oversupplied. There's a lot of gas in storage, a lot of gas in pipelines, a lot of LNG tankers have been coming in and demand is very low because of mild weather, so that's putting a lot of downward pressure on the market," one gas trader said.
Why is the UK gas market over-supplied? Because the price was high. Now it will fall. Price signals in a free market balance supply and demand. That is how free markets work…
If however you listened to Ed Miliband, who absorbed Marxist theory literally at his father's feet, with a belief in a state-directed command economy with prices and rents controlled, you believe in bucking the market. If you followed Ed's advice last year and froze your gas bill until 2017 you are likely to now be locked into a gas price that will be higher than it will probably be in 2017. Miliband thought he was clever with that price freeze gimmick. Not looking so clever now…

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is ELLIOT!
Facts about ELLIOT
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Medium
ELLIOT's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Elliot is an awesome boy, quiet, easygoing, unassuming. I can tell that someone loved him once, but somehow he ended up at the shelter anyway (where he was on the e-list) and eventually put up for adoption at petsmart.
Elliot is very friendly with people; he is quiet, uses his litterbox, his scratching posts -- he has not touched my furniture since he has been at my house. Elliot is the almost perfect pet. He would do best as an only pet -- for some reason, he doesn't like other cats. Strange, but true. He probably also needs a quiet household.
Elliot has tested negative for FELV, FIV, and heartworm. He is current on vaccinations. I am having his teeth cleaned on Friday – so he will be in perfect condition when he gets adopted.
The ideal home would be someone who has been around cats before but does not currently have a cat. I would be happy to take him back if he does not work out – so there is no risk.
CONTACT Monica at email@example.com.
Other Pets at Milagro Senior Pet Refuge Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
ELLIOT, a Phoenix Domestic Mediumhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair cat from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.
