How to Prepare for a Percutaneous Abscess Drainage Procedure
Patients who undergo percutaneous abscess drainage fall into two general categories:
- Those who are hospitalized, frequently recovering from surgery.
- Those who are not hospitalized and have symptoms as described above. In these cases, you may be admitted to the hospital on the day of your procedure.
Tell your doctor all medications that you are taking, including herbal supplements, and if you have any allergies, especially to local anesthetic medications, general anesthesia or to contrast materials (also known as "dye" or "X-ray dye"). Your doctor may tell you to stop taking aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or a blood thinner for a specified period of time before your procedure.
Also tell your doctor about recent illnesses or other medical conditions.
Women should always inform their doctor or X-ray technologist if there is any possibility that they are pregnant. Radiation is not good for the fetus. If an X-ray is necessary, precautions will be taken to minimize radiation exposure to the baby.
You may be instructed to not eat or drink anything for several hours before your procedure.
You will be given a gown to wear during the procedure.
You should plan to stay overnight at the hospital following your procedure.

Apathy in older adults may signal the beginning of problems in the brain.
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health had more than 4,000 elderly adults undergo MRI scans.
None of the adults had been diagnosed with dementia or depression.
Those who indicated they'd lost interest in daily activities or lacked motion on questionnaires had slightly smaller brain volumes on their MRI scans.

Workers of the World Resign!
Aggie, I hope your hamsters™ had a relaxing flight back from California, where they conducted an extensive search for those layoffs that went missing last week. They'll need their strength in the Wheel of Misfortune™ later this morning.
If you were laid off from your investment banking job, CNN wants you to know that was a benefit to society:
Fast food workers. Telemarketers. Investment bankers. These professions have the highest share of employees who say their jobs make the world a worse place…
That's right. Candy Crowley's network wants you to take that fast food or investment banking job and shove it. Hang up the phone, telemarketers, and pick up your EBT card. Make the world a better place. (Something tells me CNN expects a bad jobs report?)
PS: If I don't want a Whopper, I don't buy one. If a telemarketer calls, I hang up (politely, but immediately), and make sure I'm still on the do-not-call list. If an investment banker wants me to buy swampland in Florida, I decline. It's pretty easy. As a liberal, I scorned those who held these jobs. As a recovering liberal, and in this ObamEconomy, I would be ashamed to say or think such a thing.

Survey of patient and physician satisfaction regarding patient-centered outpatient consultations in Japan.
Summary of "Survey of patient and physician satisfaction regarding patient-centered outpatient consultations in Japan."
Objective The purpose of this study was to show the difference in consultation satisfaction between patient and physician in rural settings, and identify the variables affecting their satisfaction regarding these encounters. Methods We collected data by administering questionnaires that included questions regarding satisfaction for a patient-centered approach to patients and physicians, transcribing data from medical records, and observing consultations in person. We then modeled cumulative logits of patient and physician satisfaction scores by performing ordered logistic regression using the proportional odds model. Patients Seven physicians and 122 patients participated in the study. Results Both patients and physicians expressed high satisfaction with their consultation sessions. Patient satisfaction tended to be higher than physician satisfaction. Physicians were satisfied with longer consultations but patients were not. Moreover, the long waiting times dissatisfied patients. In cases of multiple healthcare episodes (courses of treatment for a different condition) during a single visit, patient satisfaction decreased, while physician satisfaction increased. Physician satisfaction for interactions in general was less when they checked the same patient who had previously visited them. Conclusion Our findings suggest that if physicians feel satisfied with their consultation, patients also feel satisfied regardless of the physician's opinion. The variables that affect patient and physician satisfaction include prior visits with the same physician, consultation length, longer waiting times, and number of episodes. These findings from Japanese clinics are consistent with those previously reported for other countries.

A spec guide for classes that aren't yours {WoW}
Jul 26th 2007 4:58PM For identifying shadow priests, some will not be in Shadowform during PvP so that they can also heal people around them not in their own party. One key point to tell them apart is the use of Mind Flay (commonly known as "melt face") which is the tentacle-like spell that spreads from the priest to his target doing damage while channeled. Mind Flay is a talent therefore a good indicator of a shadow priest when out of Shadowform. Another indicator is if you get Shadow Vulnerability as a side affect of their damage-dealing spells. Shadow Weaving is the talent that causes this is a bit lower down in the Shadow tree so is even more conclusive of a Shadow spec.

A few year ago I found this idea and used it to make some small gifts for neighbors when they came for Christmas goodies. Take a nice pretty pinecone, spray paint it silver, tie a pretty bow and a note to the top. The note says, "According to a fable told long long ago, in a land far away, if you find a silver pinecone you will have good fortune for many years and a day. Merry Chritmas." I use a nice long cone such as from a white pine or norway spruce. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Cute idea. Maybe I'll spray a bunch of pinecones, then sneak out one night, and plant them on my neighbors front walks. Spread some neighborhood good cheer. |
- Posted by concretenprimroses (My Page) on Sat, Dec 3, 11 at 19:00
I think my version of the legend involves pink pine cones, lol. Or maybe torquoise! TFS Kathy |
They come out really pretty sprayed in silver. I made them a couple of years ago from pine cones in my yard... |
Nice, Shaun! I have seen them sprayed gold too, if it's a true gold they are very nice that color also.I would think some of the metallic browns would be nice too but you would probably have to put them on with a brush. I was thinking of"Renaissance Brown" Dazzling Metallics by DecoArt paints in the 2 oz. bottles from craft stores. I just happen to have bought that 1 recently but haven't tried it yet. I was thinking of a basket of deeper & natural pinecones maybe a couple with a bit of Twinkles crystal paint(Deco Art again) on some tips to give the look of sparkle & a beautiful bow on the handle!!(Project for next year)LOL Jan |
That's an adorable idea. I'll have to see what the trees have on offer this fall. Usually what I end up with is a banquet of acorns for the squirrels. |

195 Mr R.G. Menzies, Prime Minister, to Mr S.M. Bruce, High Commissioner in London
Cablegram unnumbered 5 September 1939,
Thanks your telegram 4th September, 405. [1] As we see the position at present our task for some time will be the completing of training of forces for Australian defence. Until position of Japan has been cleared up it will be useless even to discuss the sending of expeditionary force and in any event we have great doubts as to just how war is to be carried on and the ultimate use of our troops. Personally I can visualise the possibility of our reinforcing Singapore at some stage or putting garrisons into places in Middle East. Whilst we will naturally have to determine our own course, I would be glad if you would maintain closest contact with British Government on these points so that you may advise me.
Unnecessary to emphasise the importance of secrecy since any suggestion at present of sending troops out of Australia would be widely condemned. [2]

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 Pavarotti!
Facts about Pavarotti
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Pavarotti's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, declawed, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Pavarotti is a handsome boy that loves to be around his sibling where they spend most of their time taking naps, catching some rays and spending time with their human foster family. They both have been through a lot and deserve to be in a loving forever home together.
Other Pets at Undercats4Life
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pavarotti, a Coral Springs Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Coral Springs, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Coral Springs.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Coral Springs 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 Coral Springs 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 Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Coral Springs paves the way for another one to be saved.

I'm getting things situated in my GH and would like to grow some cuttings from 2 plants I have. (pics to follow) would now be a reasonable time to do so? and what part will I cut to use? I have found the sites online that give good descriptions on how to do it, but with these 2 plants in particular, can someone suggest a place to cut from?
this one looks a bit scrawny, it was so much prettier in the spring/summer. |

KITV has learned that U.S. Marshals arrested a man in California in connection with the death of a Hawaii man found decapitated and stuffed in a bag.
The gruesome discovery was made in September off Mililani Cemetery Road, but the death of Alex Gonzales was unsolved until now.
Bryan Suitt was arrested at a family home on Coronado Island. Suitt was arrested on suspicious of second-degree murder.

We all have the best of intentions this time of year. Maybe it's to lose weight, quit smoking or exercise more.
Whatever the goal may be, our resolve is never stronger than it is on Jan. 1, when a new year offers the opportunity to create a new you.
The million-dollar question is … "Will you follow through?"
According to a Journal of Clinical Psychology study, about 20 percent of us succeed in achieving our new year's resolutions. The other 80 percent ... not so much.
By mid-January, most of us have abandoned our new goals and reverted to old habits. But it doesn't have to be that way. If you're struggling for inspiration or motivation, here are some tips to help you keep your 2013 resolutions.
1. Commit to your goal. The secret to your success starts with commitment.
Think of a new habit as a sapling tree. It's small and fragile, and has to get rooted. Our old habits are firmly rooted. When the new year begins, we have to nurture the sapling. We do that by committing to the new behavior we want to make in our lives and stick with it.
2. Make reasonable resolutions.
Telling yourself you'll lose 30 pounds in two months is a recipe for failure. But telling yourself you'll lose five to 10 percent of your body weight in three months is more realistic. The same goes for exercise. If you're a couch potato now, don't commit to more than you can reasonably achieve. Start by walking 20 to 30 minutes a day.
3. Structure the desired behavior into your day.
Schedule your workout on your daily calendar — at the same time each day, if possible. When you make something part of your routine, you're more likely to do it.
Keep in mind that creating a new habit takes about a month. So be patient with yourself. New behaviors don't happen overnight.
4. Eliminate the excuses.
Going to the gym is a big commitment. If you allow yourself to skip your workout today because you're tired or have a conflict, you might do the same tomorrow. And the next day.
We all lie to ourselves to a certain degree. Draw a line in the sand and don't go past it. If you skip the gym today, make sure you go tomorrow.
5. Reward yourself along the way. If your goal is to lose weight, and one of your tactics is to eliminate your $3.50 daily mocha, take the money and put it into a kitty.
When you've lost 10 pounds, treat yourself to a new outfit. If you put positive reinforcement at the end, you'll be much more motivated to get there.
6. If you fall off the wagon, hop right back on. It happens to all of us. You end up overeating at a party. You smoke a cigarette to deal with stress. Don't abandon your resolve entirely just because you hit a bump in the road.
When you learned to ride a bike as a child, you likely fell many times before you succeeded. The same is true with adopting new behaviors and making positive changes.
Distractions will always be there. You just have to start again and refocus.
Remember to act on the things that will lead you to achieving your goal each and every day.
Lastly, don't forget to toot your own horn when you've made progress.
Whether you've smoked your last cigarette or dropped 10 pounds, share it with someone. This keeps your motivation strong, may motivate the other person to do the same and helps keep you accountable to others.
And, if you happen to stumble once in a while, get some advice from someone you trust. Even if you know what you should do, sometimes just talking it over with someone else helps strengthen your resolve.
If your new year's resolutions involve losing weight, quitting smoking, exercising more or just taking better care of your health, Ingalls can help. Call Ingalls Care Connection at (800) 221-2199 for more information on health and wellness programs or visit www.ingalls.org.

The confetti has fallen. The winner has been crowned. You've all had time to digest it. But what about all those moments spanning all those months which kept us coming back for more? What sticks out in your mind? Was it an audition? Perhaps it was something Paula rambled on about or when a certain contestant channeled her inner crow. Maybe you guffawed when the window almost brained Simon during auditions or maybe it was the addition of the 4th judge which made you love this season.

Scott Macintyre and Matt Giraud were supposedly doing "Tell Her About It" with Billy Joel on the American Idol Finale. For whatever reason the song was pulled from the show. Reps for Billy Joel said he was never asked to be on the show and that he was on tour. Whatever the reason, Billy didn't show up and the performance was yanked. Scott did however post the rehearsal track on his myspace account.

North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), military alliance established by the North Atlantic Treaty (also called the Washington Treaty) of April 4, 1949, which sought to create a counterweight to Soviet armies stationed in central and eastern Europe after World War II. Its original members were Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Joining the original signatories were Greece and Turkey (1952); West Germany (1955; from 1990 as Germany); Spain (1982); the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland (1999); Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia (2004); and Albania and Croatia (2009). France withdrew from the integrated military command of NATO in 1966 but remained a member of the organization; it resumed its position in NATO's military command in 2009.
The heart of NATO is expressed in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, in which the signatory members agree that
an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all; and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defense recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time in 2001, after terrorist attacks organized by exiled Saudi Arabian millionaire Osama bin Laden destroyed the World Trade Center in New York City and part of the Pentagon outside Washington, D.C., killing some 3,000 people.
Article 6 defines the geographic scope of the treaty as covering "an armed attack on the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America." Other articles commit the allies to strengthening their democratic institutions, to building their collective military capability, to consulting each other, and to remaining open to inviting other European states to join.
Historical background
After World War II in 1945, western Europe was economically exhausted and militarily weak (the western Allies had rapidly and drastically reduced their armies at the end of the war), and newly powerful communist parties had arisen in France and Italy. By contrast, the Soviet Union had emerged from the war with its armies dominating all the states of central and eastern Europe, and by 1948 communists under Moscow's sponsorship had consolidated their control of the governments of those countries and suppressed all noncommunist political activity. What became known as the Iron Curtain, a term popularized by Winston Churchill, had descended over central and eastern Europe. Further, wartime cooperation between the western Allies and the Soviets had completely broken down. Each side was organizing its own sector of occupied Germany, so that two German states would emerge, a democratic one in the west and a communist one in the east.
In 1948 the United States launched the Marshall Plan, which infused massive amounts of economic aid to the countries of western and southern Europe on the condition that they cooperate with each other and engage in joint planning to hasten their mutual recovery. As for military recovery, under the Brussels Treaty of 1948, the United Kingdom, France, and the Low Countries—Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg—concluded a collective-defense agreement called the Western European Union. It was soon recognized, however, that a more formidable alliance would be required to provide an adequate military counterweight to the Soviets.
By this time Britain, Canada, and the United States had already engaged in secret exploratory talks on security arrangements that would serve as an alternative to the United Nations (UN), which was becoming paralyzed by the rapidly emerging Cold War. In March 1948, following a virtual communist coup d'état in Czechoslovakia in February, the three governments began discussions on a multilateral collective-defense scheme that would enhance Western security and promote democratic values. These discussions were eventually joined by France, the Low Countries, and Norway and in April 1949 resulted in the North Atlantic Treaty.
Spurred by the North Korean invasion of South Korea in June 1950, the United States took steps to demonstrate that it would resist any Soviet military expansion or pressures in Europe. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the leader of the Allied forces in western Europe in World War II, was named Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) by the North Atlantic Council (NATO's governing body) in December 1950. He was followed as SACEUR by a succession of American generals.
The North Atlantic Council, which was established soon after the treaty came into effect, is composed of ministerial representatives of the member states, who meet at least twice a year. At other times the council, chaired by the NATO secretary-general, remains in permanent session at the ambassadorial level. Just as the position of SACEUR has always been held by an American, the secretary-generalship has always been held by a European.
NATO's military organization encompasses a complete system of commands for possible wartime use. The Military Committee, consisting of representatives of the military chiefs of staff of the member states, subsumes two strategic commands: Allied Command Operations (ACO) and Allied Command Transformation (ACT). ACO is headed by the SACEUR and located at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in Casteau, Belgium. ACT is headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia, U.S. During the alliance's first 20 years, more than $3 billion worth of "infrastructure" for NATO forces—bases, airfields, pipelines, communications networks, depots—was jointly planned, financed, and built, with about one-third of the funding from the United States. NATO funding generally is not used for the procurement of military equipment, which is provided by the member states—though the NATO Airborne Early Warning Force, a fleet of radar-bearing aircraft designed to protect against a surprise low-flying attack, was funded jointly.
The role of Germany
A serious issue confronting NATO in the early and mid-1950s was the negotiation of West Germany's participation in the alliance. The prospect of a rearmed Germany was understandably greeted with widespread unease and hesitancy in western Europe, but the country's strength had long been recognized as necessary to protect western Europe from a possible Soviet invasion. Accordingly, arrangements for West Germany's "safe" participation in the alliance were worked out as part of the Paris Agreements of October 1954, which ended the occupation of West German territory by the western Allies and provided for both the limitation of West German armaments and the country's accession to the Brussels Treaty. In May 1955 West Germany joined NATO, which prompted the Soviet Union to form the Warsaw Pact alliance in central and eastern Europe the same year. The West Germans subsequently contributed many divisions and substantial air forces to the NATO alliance. By the time the Cold War ended, some 900,000 troops—nearly half of them from six countries (United States, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Canada, and the Netherlands)—were stationed in West Germany.
The role of France
France's relationship with NATO became strained after 1958, as President Charles de Gaulle increasingly criticized the organization's domination by the United States and the intrusion upon French sovereignty by NATO's many international staffs and activities. He argued that such "integration" subjected France to "automatic" war at the decision of foreigners. In July 1966 France formally withdrew from the military command structure of NATO and required NATO forces and headquarters to leave French soil; nevertheless, de Gaulle proclaimed continued French adherence to the North Atlantic Treaty in case of "unprovoked aggression." After NATO moved its headquarters from Paris to Brussels, France maintained a liaison relationship with NATO's integrated military staffs, continued to sit in the council, and continued to maintain and deploy ground forces in West Germany, though it did so under new bilateral agreements with the West Germans rather than under NATO jurisdiction. In 2009 France rejoined the military command structure of NATO.

(Attica, OH) Tim Shaffer's sprint car came to life the last half of the race, propelling "The Steel City Outlaw" to his 13th career 410 sprint car win at Attica Raceway Park Friday. It was the opening night of the Kistler Racing Products FAST (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) Championship Series Presented by KS Sales and Service. The champion of the series between the two tracks will take home $10,000 at year's end. Shaffer, a four time UNOH All Star Champion, ran fifth and sixth through the first half of the race in the O'Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprint feature. He used the bottom of the track to perfection and drove from fifth to third on lap 15 and two laps later moved into second. Shaffer drove under Caleb Griffith for the lead on lap 23 and pulled away. Shaffer credited his new car owner Bryan Grove and all the guys who showed up to help. "I was a little too tight early and the track just kept coming to us. Hats off to this team…they've been awesome. We got a mixed crowd of guys here tonight…some from back home (Aliquippa, Pa.) and Bryan brought some guys. Scott Gressman (Gressman Powersports) is really helping us out and the J&J Chassis," said Shaffer beside his Canton Erectors/Butler Built Seats backed #45. "I can't say enough about Bryan Grove. He lets me take this thing and do what I think needs to be done and it's paying off," continued Shaffer. "The key is we have been putting ourselves in a position to win. The thirds and fourths and fifths…the wins will come. Everything went our way tonight." In the Sunoco American Late Model Series feature, Wooster, Ohio's Doug Drown put on a dominating performance. Last week after experiencing issues in his heat, Drown lapped nearly the entire field in the B-main for the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models and was turning track record times before blowing an engine on the final lap. This week, after battling with Brandon Thirlby early, Drown pulled away and survived a couple of late race cautions for his 6th career Attica win leading the last 27 laps. "She's pretty bad ass. That's pretty much all I can say. Last week…it's pretty funny…some of these guys laughed about us having some bad luck…look who's laughing now. The crew obviously did a great job this week. We ran down to Charlotte and got an engine and the thing is phenomenal. A little too much power I think," said Drown beside his Wheeling Auto Body, DJ Directional Service, Wooster Glass backed #20. "I have to thank Dave and Michelle Runkle, Rocket Chassis, Integra Shocks…everybody who helped. I'm glad we got one early for TC who we lost right before the race season. I know he definitely would have been here tonight and I know he's here with everyone in their hearts," added Drown. It was also the opening night of the $2,000-to-win JLH General Contractors FAST Championship Series presented by Engine Pro for the Foster's Auto Body 305 Sprints. John Ivy held off a tremendous challenge from Steve Rando late in the race to score his second win of the season at Attica. The victory is the 13th of Ivy's career in the 305 sprints at ARP. "It got a little tight on me there at the end. I thought by moving up I'd keep it free enough but then I saw him (Rando) and I thought we better give her a whirl so I went down there and I ended up being pretty good," said Ivy beside his Fremont Fence/B&L Plumbing/Nagy Equipment/Little Bar on the Prairie backed #8i. "I have to thank Sonny, Joey, my brother Scott, Karen and Kenny Clark," added Ivy beside the Kistler Engines/Big D's Pizza/Kear's Speed Shop sponsored machine.

Lonely Mountain Cola: If The Hobbits Made Their Own Soda…
If hobbits had their own brand of soda, it would be best to call it Lonely Mountain Cola. For those of you unfamiliar with the story, that's a reference to the mountain which holds the hobbits' treasure that was stolen by the greedy and wicken dragon, Smaug.
I don't know what Hobbit-made soda would taste like, though. All I know is that they're smaller than your average soda cans and definitely better-looking in more ways than one.
These LOTR concept soda can designs were created by the people behind the Lonely Mountain Cola Co. Facebook page, which was created to "set up as a cross-realm/inter-dimensional/multiverse experience dedicated to supporting the Dwarves of Middle-earth in their quest of getting their home back."

Pittsburgh Riverhounds News Release -- www.riverhounds.com
Wednesday, April 4, 2012
PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- The Pittsburgh Riverhounds resign a solid core from last season's squad to help anchor their 2012 USL PRO campaign. The defensive stalwarts returning to wear the Riverhounds colors include: Louis Rolko, Shintaro Harada, Nikola Katic, Jason Kutney and Sterling Flunder. All signings are pending USSF approval.
A steady defensive force for the Riverhounds during the last two seasons at center-back, Rolko has been officially named captain for the 2012 squad. Rolko will lead the Hounds on and off the field. "Louie is a leader by nature and he showed his dedication to the team and organization with the work that he put in this off-season," stated Head Coach Justin Evans. Rolko will again be an integral part of the Riverhounds usual stingy defense.
Japanese footballer and 11-year professional, Harada will remain in the center of the park for the Riverhounds. Harada's tireless engine, physical challenges, and distribution of the ball will play a major role in the Riverhounds ability to make their opponents feel uncomfortable on the field.
Katic, the physical and hard-nosed Croatian defender, will enter his fourth professional season with the Riverhounds organization. His dedication to the Club, specifically within The Riverhounds Academy, has made him a fan-favorite in Pittsburgh. With the Hounds losing central defender, Kyle Veris, for the season due to injury, Katic will be looked at immediately to provide tenacity and experience at the back.
Returning for his eighth professional season, Kutney will rotate between defense and midfield this season for the Hounds, depending on the needs of the team. Kutney adds speed and versatility to the Riverhounds and will be instrumental in helping to create dangerous situations in the attacking third.
Flunder, a shutdown left-back, returns for his third professional season with the Hounds. Recording two goals in two seasons with the Riverhounds, Flunder is determined to create quality opportunities from the back-line and increase his offensive production in 2012. Flunder has dedicated a great deal of time during the off-season to increase his fitness and develop his attacking abilities.

Disclaimer: This page is not intended to be an official minute of AFM but is more of an informal summary from an individual's perspective
Environmental Heritage: Quakers have a tradition of peace, simplicity and a testimony for the stewardship of the Earth. When clearing the land for our 1992 new meeting house, horse power (a Clydsdale and his birthright Quaker owner from the Eastern Shore) was used for some initial clearing of the land rather than dirty diesel power. It was the scariest thing to me to see a water heater come flying up out of the ravine hitched to a Clydsdale running away at full speed!
AFM Climate Change Minute and Greater Annapolis Group: In 2014 AFM approved a climate change minute that describes human responsibility for the increasing risks being created by global warming and advocates the weaning of our economy from its reliance on fossil fuels. To help extend our concern about the impacts of climate change, and to organize for private and public actions to reduce the burning of fossil fuels, AFM has facilitated the formation of the Climate Stewards of Greater Annapolis -- a group that welcomes everyone in our local area who is concerned about global warming. For more information, contact Phil Favero at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Rainwater Runoff: AFM supports the state/county initiatives to reduce storm-water runoff. We have no objection to paying the recently enacted Bay-saving runoff fee since it's goal is the same as ours, to clean up our environment. For years we have had rain-barrel collection systems and rain gardens for our building runoff and our parking area was intentionally all gravel to help with absorption. What runoff that remains from the parking lot is routed to a 20' deep 10' diamter dry well that prevents any further runoff into the Luce Creek watershed.
Interfaith Youth Trail: We are committed to living in harmony with our environment and our small 5 acres of woods and stream. While searching for a home in the 1980's we found our land as an abandoned dump on the outskirts of Annapolis. We are proud of our years of work in cleaning it up and enjoy an annual participation with other local groups to clean up the Luce Creek Watershed. As part of that effort we maintain a nature trail and have connected it to the Unitarian Trail next door. But there is an even larger potential to extend this trail throughout the Luce Creek watershed area to as many as a dozen other Faith and Youth groups. We call this the Bestgate Interfaith Youth Trail and. are soliciting the participation of all adjacent landowners in their areas of the watershed.
ENERGY: Our peace testamony recognizes the instability of the human condition in our competition and greed for fossil fuel resources. Around 2009 we began to consider our fossil/carbon footprint an its impact on our environment and conflict around the world. Almost everything we consume to date has originated with the burning of fossil fuels. This course is simply not sustainable and as a spiritual society with concerns for our fellow man and woman we hope to do what we can in sustaining our future for the long term. In our fossil fuel burning pie at right, the bulk of our meeting's consumption and damaging emissions comes from coal for electricity, propane for heating, and gasoline for driving to and from meeting. All of these needs, now in the 21st century, can be not only be met with clean renewable energy from the Sun and wind, but they are actually more economical in the long run!
Wind Electricity: In 2011, AFM signed up for 100% clean renewable electricity from our utility via Interfaith Power and Light of DC/MD/VA. They aggregate congregations into collective bargaining with Groundswell to find the lowest cost renewable energy sources. This eliminated our use of coal and oil fired electricity. This was as easy as signing a piece of paper and by being a member of the larger faith collective, our electricity was even slightly less than the existing utility electric rates.
Our own Solar Array: But an even better and more direct way to generate clean renewable solar energy is with our own solar panels. So at the same time we began to investigate our own system and in January, 2014, AFM switched 90% of our electric load to our own clean renewable Solar Energy system. The 10% remaining electricity comes from our wind contract above.
EV Charging Support: As we look at our buildings and grounds for ways to reduce our carbon footprint, it is easy to overlook one of the biggest consumption of fossil fuels in our spiritual lives, and that is the consumption of gasoline driving to and from meeting. Take 100 cars driving 10 miles on Sunday and as much as 33 gallons of gasoline may be being burned. Far more than it takes to heat the building and light the lights. So, earlier in 2011 we had also taken the initiative to encourage members to consider an electric vehicle (EV) for clean renewable local transportation. Already about 1/3rd of our members were driving hybrids or high mileage cars so it was clear that EV's were the next step for some. To be ready, we simply extended two standard 120 volt electric outlets for charging member's cars when driven to meeting. During 2 hours at meeting, the EV's can replenish about 10 miles to secure their ride back home for the cost of about 40 cents. We have also been able to spread this idea to several other churches and institutions in the area.
Geothermal Heating possibility: After our successes with solar and EV's, our next greatest fossil fuel consumption is the $4000 a year for 1000 gallons of propane for heating. Over the 20 years in our new building, the cost of propane has more than quadrupled. In 2013 when oil (and propane) approached $4 a gallon these systems are now even more expensive than straight electric heating which has always been the most expensive kind of heating there is. We should consider switching our heating from propane to 100% renewable energy. If we switch to geothermal and install a ground-source heat pump, we can save nearly 60% of our heating energy since 60% of the heat comes from the ground. The 40% needed to pump that energy comes from electricity, which in our case is already 100% renewable with our solar and wind projects. Further, the increase in electric demand due to heatpump heating will be somewhat offset by the higher efficiency and lower electirc usage of the geothermal heatpump during the summer in for Air Conditioning. If we need more solar then, we can add to our array as needed at that time. So, as we ponder the eventual replacement of our 20 year old HVAC systems, it is time for us to consider a geothermal heating/AC system.
WE CAN DO IT! The amazing thing is that it is CHEAPER to switch our energy systems to renewable than it is to continue with Fossil fuel! First of all, do not get mislead by arguments of BREAK-EVEN or PAYBACK since payback is from day-1. See the the breakeven discussion.
Second, do not be misled that it is too late and it is impossible to get there from here. The slide at right show's one family's wake-up call in 2006 time frame when they realized the nearly 3000 gallons of fossil fuel they were using at ever increasing cost.
At this point by 2015, all of this family's energy consumption has been moved to electric, and all electic is derived from 100% renewable solar or wind. This includes even the electric lawn mower, electric tools, and even an electric boat! And the cost amortized over the next 10 years is cheaper than doing nothing and continuing to pollute our future.
Land Conservation and Nature Trails:
The Annapolis Friends Meeting is located in a natural area in the Luce Creek Watershed off of the Severn River. Their are no roads through the watershed, but there are about a dozen or so churches and other youth oriented areas surrounding the central natural area. As noted above, we have an initiative to connect our nature trails (shown below) to other Faith and Youth groups in the area.
Luce Creek Watershed: In our busy daily lives as wwe zoom up and down Bestgate Road we are hardly aware of the large wilderness area behind us. Even though we may drive all the roads in the area, we probably do not see the size of this last wiilderness area in the Annapolis Area. The Unitarians and Annapolsi Friends Meeting have long been involved in protecting the natural beauty of this area. Although the south side of the creek has been a dumping ground for most of the last century, most of it is grown over and with several clean up weekends, tons of junk and surfrace debris from old cars and appliances and thousnad of broken bottles have been removed. An outline of the watershed and the possible location of the Interfaith Youth Trail is shown below.

Synergy Media Group focuses on corporate audio-visual systems. The most common corporate AV systems are installed in board rooms, conference rooms, meeting rooms, and training rooms; however, it is becoming increasingly common to find audiovisual solutions in videoconferencing facilities, lobbies, network operation centers, fitness centers, and cafeterias.
Below are a few common audiovisual solutions for the corporate marketplace:
AudioVisual Conference Room
A simple corporate audiovisual conference room includes a ceiling mounted projector, a projection screen, and a laptop connection. High-end audiovisual conference-room systems incorporate a Crestron control system that provides a user-friendly interface so any presenter can control an entire room's technology. With a press of a button, the electric screen will drop, the projector will turn on, the laptop will be displayed on the screen, audio will ramp to the perfect level, the lights will dim, and the blinds will close creating the ideal presentation environment. From simple board rooms to complex training rooms, Synergy Media Group has a AV solution.
AudioConferencing Solution
Another common AV solution for conference rooms as an integrated audioconferencing system. Imagine the possibility of engaging in an audioconference call without a telephone sitting on the table! An integrated audioconferencing system will allow all users to sit back in their conference room chairs and have a normal discussion. There is no need to huddle around a phone or spread out mic cables over the table so that everyone can be heard. Additionally, the group you are speaking to will be heard over ceiling speakers and they will sound as if they are in the same room as you!
VideoConferencing Solution
With the integration of a videoconferencing system into your conference room, a business is able to save money that would be earmarked for hotel, travel, meals, and entertainment expenses. Remember that not only is travel expensive, but it takes time to travel. Productivity is important and eliminating travel is a great way to increase productivity. Furthermore, an individual or a team presenting in their home environment is more likely to feel confident, therefore making a stronger presentation. VideoConferencing systems can be integrated into any corporate boardroom or office and the ROI can be quick.

Photos: More Denver Now showcases of Denver businesses then -- in 1982
Back in March, we shared highlights from Denver Now, described as "Denver's Business Showcase" and published in 1982, during the height of the Dynasty era. But our previous post only featured a small number of the remarkable photographic flashbacks found within. For this sequel, we've collected ten more hilariously dated looks at local businesses -- some long gone, others still around but much changed.Big photos below.
Set the WAYBAC Machine for three decades ago and check out the results below.
The Broker
Unlike so many other businesses in Denver Now, The Broker restaurant, at 821 17th Street, remains very much a going concern, with its website boasting that it's been "an award-winning Denver tradition for over 35 years." Less likely to win plaudits are the outfits and hairstyles of this couple, who seem to be thinking, "Thank goodness someone else looks as ridiculous as I do!"
Denver Avalanche
Before there was the Colorado Avalanche, there was the Denver Avalanche -- an indoor soccer team. The text accompanying this groovy photo reads in part, "Denver fans have taken to the Avalanche, coming to games in great. numbers. This fan support is phenomenal for a team that has only existed since 1980." Well, maybe not all that phenomenal. After all, this Wikipedia page reveals that the Denver Avs folded in...1982.

EZS 350NA Features & Options: Offering versatility and ergonomics, the Jungheinrich EZS 350NA has the ability to hitch several trailers together providing added flexibility in most material handling operations. The truck's high performance is due to the AC drive motor which provides powerful acceleration and high travel speeds with significant energy efficiency, longer operating times and low maintenance. The primary ergonomic features are the low stand-on platform for frequent mounting and dismounting and the short distance from the operator platform to the load. In addition, the JetPilot steering wheel, supportive backrest and automatic speed reduction system, Curve Control, all provide comfort, control and stability.
Steel Hitch Plates
A heavy-duty, removable steel hitch plate accepts a wide variety of hitch types. These can be bolt or weld-mounted within a generous height range, based on specific application requirements. The optional single pin and clevis-type tow hitch is visible from every position and is easily accessible.
High Performance AC Drive Motor
The truck's high performance is due to a 2.8 kW, 24 Volt AC drive motor. The benefits are powerful acceleration and high travel speeds, with significant energy efficiency, longer operating times and reduced maintenance (through the omission of carbon brushes). This is a result of the effective design between the drive motor, the electronic controller and the regenerative braking function.

Your home, whether that means apartment, house or other dwelling, is allowed some special protections under the law. If the police come to your home, you usually do not have to let them in unless they have an arrest or search warrant. If they claim to have an arrest or search warrant, it is perfectly reasonable to ask them to slip it under the door or hold it up to a window. Don't be alarmed if the police don't appreciate your request. It's a perfectly reasonable request, and rest assured, if the police had actual evidence that the situation was truly urgent, they would have already kicked the door down.
Even with a arrest or search warrant, police officers may only search for the suspected evidence in the suspected locations notated on the warrant. In addition, the police also have the option of obtaining an arrest warrant, wich allows them to enter the home of the person listed on the warrant if they have a reasonable belief the person listed on the warrant is inside.
So what to do?
First off, regardless of the situation, you always maintain your basic constitutional rights. Absent an arrest or search warrant, you can politely and calmly tell the officers through the door or window that they do not have your permission to enter or search. If you decide to speak to the officers outside, pull the door closed behind you. Tell the officers that you would like to know if you are free to leave, if they say yes, direct any further questions to your attorney and inform the police that you will be remaining silent going forward.
If the police do decide to search your house or arrest you, don't interfere. Remain silent and call your attorney at the first opportunity.

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 Griffin!
Facts about Griffin
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black - With Brown, Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Griffin's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi! My name is Griffin. I am a chocolate lab mix, around a year old, I weigh around 60 lbs. I'm a happy go-lucky boy. I love to be by my person. I am housebroken, and crate trained. I like other dogs and love to play and wrestle. I would enjoy older kids and a big fenced in yard to play in. If you want to take me for walks and teach me lots of good manners I would love a home to call my own. I'm neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped. My adoption fee is $200. If you want to apply to adopt me, please complete an online application at www.rescueofhope.com. Thanks! Woof!!!
Other Pets at Hearts of Hope Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Griffin, a Grand Rapids Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Grand Rapids, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Grand Rapids.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Grand Rapids 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 Grand Rapids 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 Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Grand Rapids paves the way for another one to be saved.

Oct 24th 2006 1:33PM I thought Parkman the cop's wife didn't want him around and kicked him out last time? Now she's all worried about him? Did she get a mindwipe too or did anyone else notice the 360 turnaround in her behavior?
I think at some point HRGG (Horned Rimmed Glasses Guy) will have something to do with the bad guys and seperate from Claire as the diametrically opposed good and evil/family subplot kicks in.
I love Peter's X-men Rogue-like capabilities, and I'm kicking myself for not seeing it earlier. That kind of makes him the most powerful of all the Heroes though doesn't it? So good to see him in an albeit newly found leadership position. I wonder about that scar though?
I also love Hiro's evolution, and seeing future Hiro just about made me go apeshit. He speaks good English and doesn't wear glasses. I always wondered why he didn't stop time to learn the English that might help him. I guess Lasik is in his future as well. But why the Sword?
Also did anyone else notice that DL (Micah's dad) looked like the mindwipe guy at all? I also didn't notice that he phased out of the wall until #3 mentioned it. Very cool.

Other Legal Terms
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Status of a debtor who has been declared by judicial process to be unable to pay his or her debts. It also refers to the legal process involved: the administration of an insolvent debtor's property by the court for the benefit of the debtor's creditors. Filing by a debtor is called voluntary bankruptcy; involuntary bankruptcy is declared by the court upon petition by a creditor. The U.S. Bankruptcy Code makes four types of relief available to bankrupt individuals or corporations: liquidation (under Chapter 7), reorganization (Chapter 11), debt adjustment for a family farmer (Chapter 12), and debt adjustment for an individual with a regular income (Chapter 13). Municipalities may file under Chapter 9. Generally, not all debts are paid in a bankruptcy. The court determines which debts are to be repaid, and the debtor is typically granted a discharge of the rest. See also insolvency.
