Tim and Eric Awesome Show! Gross, Half-Naked, Demented TV
- |
- 3:00 pm |
- Permalink
It's a parched afternoon in San Diego, and Han Solo is wandering around in a small park near a downtown marina. Because this is the weekend of Comic-Con, he's wearing a fastidiously designed Empire Strikes Back-style shirt and vest. And because it's also the weekend of Awesomecon, he's wearing hot pants.
Awesomecon is an annual Tim and Eric fan gathering, in which Heidecker and Wareheim sign autographs, hold a trivia contest, and eventually take one lucky attendee on a jet-ski ride. Today, the two are in their civillian garb: Heidecker, with his clean-cut visage, blond hair, and perpetually half-open eyes, resembles a sleepy altar boy. Wareheim has the weight, height, and countenance of an equally drowsy bear. This is the third year for the event — which piggybacks on Comic-Con but isn't officially affiliated with it — and there are roughly 1,000 people in attendance, the highest turnout yet.
The show's nonprofessional cast members are out in force. James Quall, a lousy stand-up comedian with a penchant for bow ties, performs an a cappella surf-rock song. David Liebe Hart, a singing puppeteer who claims to have been adbucted by aliens, signs autographs and sells CDs. Richard Dunn, a lanky 73-year-old who speaks in a halting, bewildered voice, has been given his own kissing booth. For most of the day, he'll alternate between receiving pecks from females who are 50 years younger than him and smoking behind a tree.
It's not always clear who's in on the joke on Awesome Show — whether the amateur help is there to be mocked or celebrated. But after watching the supporting players pose for hundreds of photos, it becomes clear that while the relationship between the creators and some of their cast members may be exploitative, at least it's mutual.
Awesomecon culminates in a costume gala, and several of the revelers are dressed in character: There are a few devotees of Dr. Steve Brule, a slurring, bellicose, and woefully misinformed TV health expert normally played by John C. Reilly. And one woman has covered herself in paint in homage to the Jeff GoldBluMan Group, a performance artist played on the show by Jeff Goldblum. A few yards from the festivities, a newly married couple pulls over to pose for photos, takes a look at the assortment of loons, and quickly jumps back into their limo.
The question, for now, is how much longer Heidecker and Wareheim can keep their empire growing. In the next few months, the two will begin work on a batch of possible new shows for Adult Swim: There's a spinoff for Reilly's Brule character, and they're developing two series for Tommy Wiseau, the mush-mouthed director-star of the awful midnight movie The Room.As for their own film, Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, they'll say nothing. But considering how many new tasks Heidecker and Wareheim have taken on — and their references to the next season's dark finale — it's pretty clear that the next run of 10 Awesome Show episodes could be their last. That's probably a good thing — there's a sense that they've taken the series as far as it can go.
"What's nice is that unless you need to be a multimillionaire, you don't have to go after that mainstream audience," Wareheim says. It's a few hours after Awesomecon's conclusion, and the two men are sitting at a poolside hotel bar. "We've carved out an audience. And that's enough."
"I feel like we're too popular as it is," Wareheim says.
He's only half-joking. Years ago, the next step for comedians like Heidecker and Wareheim's would have been to cash in their cult status for something more visible and bankable — a sitcom deal, maybe, or a role in some mawkish Jim Carrey comedy. Now, thanks to the devoted audience they've developed both on the air and online, they can bypass those comedic rites altogether and instead beam their grody capers straight to fans. At least for a while. "Later on, we're going to have to conform to some standards," Wareheim says. "We're not going to be very funny together when we're 45."
As the sun sets behind him, he rises and leans over his chaise lounge to gather his belongings, and I catch a glimpse of his butt crack. It's not the first time I've seen it. And it probably won't be the last.

Teachers want Jindal, House Speaker recalled
POSTED: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 - 6:02pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 - 6:08pm
BATON ROUGE,LA (NBC33) — "He's stepping on us, He's on our poor necks," says teacher Sheryl Thomas.
Teacher Sheryl Thomas expressing her anger at Governor Jindal.
"If the bill passes he's gonna see the hurt in the long run that it caused the teachers, the homes, the parents, the children and he's going to regret it later, but it'll be too late.
House representatives didn't pass both House bills 976 and 974 until well after midnight Thursday. Teachers believe that proves the Governor is simply trying to ram the legislation through before anyone can really look at it.
"It was strong-armed. It was rushed. There wasn't enough time to really discuss it. We feel like several of the legislators didn't really understand what they wer voting for," says teacher Andrea McFarlain.
Speaker of the House Chuck Kleckley says there's been no rushing, He says education is a priority and has to be dealt with accordingly.
"Education reform is on the front burner of everything. When I ran for office, education reform was one of the top issues, a top topic for me and probably of the other 104 members, so when it was filed and how it was filed, when we heard it the fact is we need education reform here in the state of Louisiana," says Kleckley.
But that's not good enough for teachers at the Capitol Tuesday. They want to recall Kleckley and Governor Jindal.
In order for these teachers to try and recall Governor Bobby Jindal, the first thing they're going to need to do is get more than 950,000 signatures and they're going to have to do it by September 24.
And if the bills do eventually pass, it's a move Thomas supports 100 percent.
"I want him out. Gotta go," says Thomas.

The New Upper Klamath Basin Comprehensive Agreement/ AIP is the same thing as the KBRA & KHSA , The Modoc Nation opposes this because of the following reasons: The Klamath Tribe tries to make it sound good but it's simple, they do not and will not ever respect the Modoc's rights! A short list of issues The Modoc Nation (formerly "Modoc Tribe") would like to see addressed: 1. Both the KBRA and KHSA make it clear that both the Keno Dam and Link River Dam will not be removed. Since the entire premise of both agreements is that the removal of all or a part of the four dams below Keno Dam is an action necessary to remove obstacles to fish runs, to restore health to the Klamath River, its tributaries and its habitat for the ultimate purpose of preserving and enhancing salmonid populations, logic would dictate that the same actions and purposes would apply to the Keno Dam and the Link River Dam. a) What impact will the continued existence of the Keno Dam, operated for the express purpose of providing "water levels upstream of Keno Dam for diversion and canal maintenance consistent with Contract #14-06-200-3579A executed on January 4, 1968, between Reclamation and PacifiCorp (then COPCO) and historic practice" (KHSA §7.5.4) have on the reintroduction of salmon into the streams and lakes of the Upper Klamath Basin that are in our ancestral lands described above? In other words, how will the salmon get past the Keno dam so that they can enter the upper reach of the Klamath River, the Lost River, the Sprague River and the Sycan River? b) What impact upon the Modoc Nation's spiritual, cultural and economic interests and well-being can be expected if salmon are not able to get past the Keno dam and Link River Dam? c) What benefits does either of the two water agreements provide to the people of The Modoc Nation to offset any adverse impacts just described? Please do not cite projects or land swaps that run to the benefit of the Klamath Tribe, such as the Mazama Tree Farm, as all of those take place north of our ancestral homelands, and we do not see how they benefit us, especially since we have severed all political relations with the Klamath tribal government as of June 19, 2010. 2. What would be the environmental, ecological and biological impact on Modoc ancestral lands, particularly on Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge (LKNWR) and Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge (TLNWR) and their respective plant and wildlife populations if the Keno Dam were removed to allow natural stream flows and fish passage? 3. How can the separate study required of the Secretary of Interior with respect to the Keno Dam by KHSA § 7.5.1. be considered scientifically and methodologically sound when the decision as to the continued existence and operation of the dam in a manner designed "to provide water levels upstream of Keno Dam for diversion and canal maintenance consistent with Contract #14-06-200-3579A executed on January 4, 1968, between Reclamation and PacifiCorp (then COPCO) and historic practice" has been predetermined? 4. Section 9 of the KBRA provides an overview of a Klamath Basin Fisheries Program, the specific purpose of which is set forth in KBRA § 9.2.1.A., which reads as follows: "…provides for reintroduction of anadromous Species throughout their historic range above Iron Gate Dam, including tributaries to Upper Klamath Lake but excluding the Lost River sub-basin, and for reestablishment and maintenance of the ecological functionality and connectivity of Fish habitat." (Emphasis added). KBRA 9.2.3., which covers the geographic scope of the project, states in pertinent part: "The Agreement is not intended and shall not be implemented to establish or introduce populations of salmon, steelhead, or Pacific lamprey in the Lost River or its tributaries or the Tule Lake Basin." (Emphasis added) a) What environmental, ecological or biological diversity purpose is served by excluding the Lost River sub-basin, the Lost River or its tributaries or the Tule Lake Basin from the program for fisheries restoration and the reintroduction of species that were indigenous to those places prior to the construction of the Klamath Reclamation Project and the five dams on the Klamath River? b) What impact will this provision have on the very deeply held and specific spiritual and cultural concerns of The Modoc Nation and its people, as set forth in the section preceding the listing of issues our Nation would like to see addressed. c) What benefit or benefits does The Modoc Nation and its people receive under the two water agreements to offset this catastrophic and devastating spiritual, cultural and economic loss? d) Why among all the tribes party to or affected by the two water agreements has the Modoc Tribe been selected as the only tribe to be deprived of the restoration of its native fisheries and the reintroduction of anadromous species? How can any reasonable person see this situation as fair and reasonable to The Modoc Nation and its people or expect them to merely accept this outrageous and intolerable injustice? 5. KBRA Section 1.2.3.Sustainable Tribal Communities provides: "Tribes have lived in the Klamath River Basin since time immemorial and are expected to continue to do so using sustainable resource-based economies. There are tribal fishing rights in various locations that have associated water rights for the fish to propagate and produce sufficient numbers for harvest. The Tribes, irrigators, and the United States have differed in administrative and judicial settings over the amounts of water needed for fish. This Agreement seeks to resolve these substantial differences and also to provide the Tribes with both sustainable natural resources and sustainable communities." (Emphasis added) KBRA Section 15.3.2.B.iii (Non-Use of Findings and Judgment/Decree), Section 15.3.3 (Assurances of Non-Interference with Klamath Reclamation Project Diversions by the Klamath Tribes, and Section 15.3.5 (Relinquishment and Release of Claims against the United States by the Klamath Tribes) all run to the effect that although the Modoc Nation retains its underlying treaty water, hunting, fishing, hunting and gathering rights, it is waiving its right to assert them in any way that will interfere with deliveries of water to irrigators through the Klamath Reclamation Project. a) How can the above-referenced provisions of Sections 9 (discussed above) and Section 15 be reconciled to the stated goal of Section 1.2.3? In other words, how does The Modoc Nation sustain the natural resources of its ancestral lands, particularly those of the two National Wildlife Refuges, necessary build a sustainable community based on our traditional spiritual, cultural and economic values, when Section 15 deprives us of the right to protect those very resources and way of life through the assertion of claims either before regulatory agencies or the courts? b) How does the provision set forth in KBRA §15.3.2.B.iii, which states: "… the Tribes and the United States shall not, directly or indirectly assert in any manner, water rights recognized for the Claims in the findings and order issued pursuant to ORS 539.130(1) or a judgment/decree issued under ORS 539.150(4) including in water rights or other contexts, that interferes with the diversion, use, and reuse of water for the Klamath Reclamation Project" improve or otherwise impact the environment, ecology or biological diversity of any of the lands in the Klamath Basin, especially those of our Modoc ancestral homelands in the Lost River Circle and the LKNWR and TLNWR? c) KBRA § 15.3.3. provides in pertinent part, "The Klamath Tribes hereby provide interim Assurances as stated in Section 15.3.8.B, and conditional permanent Assurances that the Klamath Tribes will not assert: (i) tribal water or fishing rights theories or tribal trust theories in a manner, or (ii) Klamath tribal water or trust rights in the State of California, whatever they may be, in a manner, that will interfere with the diversion, use or reuse of water for the Klamath Reclamation Project that is not precluded by the limitation on diversions of water as provided in Appendix E-1 in any administrative context or proceeding, or any judicial proceeding, or otherwise . . ." (emphasis added) i. What is the purpose of subparagraph (ii) other than to single out The Modoc Nation and people, who among the three tribes that formerly made up the Klamath Tribes (as stated above, The Modoc Nation on June 19, 2010 dissolved all political ties to the Klamath Tribes and formed its own government) is the only tribe to have ancestral lands situated in California? ii. How does KBRA § 15.3.3. improve or otherwise impact the environment, ecology or biological diversity of any of the lands in the Klamath Basin, especially those of our Modoc ancestral homelands in the Lost River Circle and the LKNWR and TLNWR? d) How does the provision set forth in KBRA § 15.3.5.A.i. that requires the Klamath Tribes (including the Modoc Nation) to release of any and all claims we may have against the federal government "resulting from (a) water management decisions, including the failure to act, or (b) the failure to protect, or to prevent interference with, the Tribes' water or water rights, that relate to damages, losses, or injuries to water, water rights, land, or natural resources due to loss of water or water rights (including damages, losses, or injuries to hunting, fishing, gathering rights or other activities, due to loss of water or water rights)" improve or otherwise impact the environment, ecology or biological diversity of any of the lands in the Klamath Basin, especially those of our Modoc ancestral homelands in the Lost River Circle and the LKNWR and TLNWR? e) How can the waiver of our rights to assert claims designed to protect and preserve the water we deem necessary to preserve and protect the land, waters, plants and wildlife that are essential to our spiritual, cultural and economic well-being not be construed constitute a severe adverse impact The Modoc Nation and its citizens? f) What benefit or benefits does The Modoc Nation and its people receive in return for giving up the major rights enumerated in KBRA Section 15? Again, please address this issue directly with respect to The Modoc Nation and its people, not the "Klamath Tribes" in general. |

The department's innovative and flexible work structures, supported by centralised staffing, enabled the department to respond to new and emerging priorities in a demanding international environment. We identified and deployed staff at short notice for the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) and the Australian Representative Office in Baghdad. We met an increased demand for resources to pursue the Government's ambitious trade policy agenda, in particular for negotiating the Australia–United States Free Trade Agreement while maintaining a strong level of engagement in other international trade negotiations.
The safety and welfare of staff and their families was an ongoing concern for the department. Contributing factors included: terrorism or the threat of terrorism, especially for staff serving at our posts in the Middle East and South-East Asia; the breakdown of law and order in the Pacific region, particularly Papua New Guinea; and the impact of a challenging workload on individual wellbeing. Our provision of accessible, high-quality clinical and other support services underpinned strong organisational morale—demonstrated in high staff retention rates and low levels of absenteeism.
As part of our continuing efforts to improve conditions of service for staff, we reviewed overseas conditions of service. The outcome of the review is expected to be announced in the second half of 2004. We improved conditions applying to service in Baghdad in recognition of the difficult security environment.
We made substantial progress towards the completion of a new Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the provision of management services to attached agencies at overseas posts.
Unqualified financial statements for 2003–04 were presented on time with no audit observations.
We awarded a new contract for provision of travel management services to the Foreign Affairs and Trade portfolio to Carlson Wagonlit Travel. We implemented a new removals and storage contract, which is expected to improve service levels to staff moving to and from posts.

So far, so good. This rug is soft but durable. "Chaulk" is a very nice off-white/natural cotton color.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The rug was a thin canvas type material. Ruff on the feet. And of course I would have to pay for a return shipment so I just took it as a loss. Good friendly customer service, just bad policies.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.This is a gorgeous rug, well-made, color was true to ad, and it's washable!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I love that it lays so flat. I was having trouble finding a rug for the entry way that would go under the door when it opened. This rug lays so flat that I could also use a skid proof rug pad. I love it.

hara chana and mint awesome combination...tastes great with chilli garlic sauce!
Awesome with mint chutney! I used grated cabbage with pinch of hing instead of onions for satvic khanna..
The hara chane we have always eaten roadside has been pepped up Indian masalas into a delightful iron rich snack here. Tastes too good with green chutney.

The Veto President: What Ron Paul COULD do as President
Submitted by Treg on Mon, 05/23/2011 - 10:33Congressman Ron Paul has a lot of positions on a lot of issues. And yes he is very clear about them. No hiding behind the Popularity Polls for Congressman Paul. This Congressman calls it like he sees it and he has been doing it this way since the seventies. What a relief. Imagine that, a Congressman who doesn't flip flop on the issues and is always taking a clear stand on the issue. What a big relief it is to have a question answered, not avoided.
The internet loves Dr. Paul for the simple reason of historical consistency. People may and do agree on some things that Dr. Paul says, but not all things. People can safely guess how Dr. Paul will vote. Few people agree with everything Dr. Paul believes in, yet they support him for the simple reason that they know what kind of man he is.
So, now that Dr. Paul is running for President, what kind of President would the people get? Two things: They would get a president that Vetoed Spending, any spending and they would get thousands of new jobs, real American jobs. As the economy explodes in growth from all that vetoing, America again rises to the top. Its an old story that Americans love to forget and discover again and again.
Indeed, Dr Paul would be the "Veto President". Its very clear that a Paul Presidency would be about vetoing pretty much everything Congress charges to the Public Bank Account. This would be good for the economy. The Stock Market would rally up and the dollar's value would hold.
The biggest thing a Paul Presidency would give us? Jobs. JOBS. As the corporate environment would improve, the jobs would improve. As spending declines in Washington, spending would increase in the economy. Jobs, jobs, jobs would be a good thing. If a Paul Presidency vetoed the spending in Washington, then the economy would take off. A true economy exuberance would ensue. Business from China would be racing to get into the American market. Moreover, companies in China would return by the thousands. Stopping Washington spending has wonderful effects. It means Jobs and a healthy economy.
A Ron Paul President could not do many things. A President Paul could not single offhandedly change Roe vs Wade's abortion decision. Nor could President Ron Paul kill Social Security or end Medicare or even "legalize drugs". Those are not in the cards for a Paul Presidency. Nor could President Paul reinstall respect for the Constitution in every Senator and Congressman. Wise voters smile and know that a Paul Presidency would mean two things: lots of vetoes and lots of jobs.
What a President Paul could do is end the out of control spending in Washington, something every Republican says. But this Republican is different, he votes that way and Republicans know it. The facts bare it out that President Paul would veto any spending, where ever that spending goes. If American tax payer money is spraying out in a gusher to five wars in the middle east or splashing down the drain in pork projects, President Paul's consistent vetoes would make it a hard for that to continue. Under a President Paul, Washington would finally have to live within its budget. Now that would be a real Change.

Executive orders and Presidential pardons
Paul will likely resist the temptation to issue Executive Orders to circumvent Congress and the courts, BUT nothing will stop him from rescinding orders issued by previous Presidents.
You should also consider that Presidential pardons may be forthcoming for the victims of victimless crime laws. And while Paul may not have the power to abolish the IRS, he DOES have the power to pardon those convicted of offenses against the tax code. No need to abolish the IRS if it loses the power to imprison tax resisters; the income tax might truly become a "voluntary tax." That too would mean jobs, jobs, jobs!

tax pardons
I never thought of that. Great point! Pardons would help reign in the IRS.
This is why I hope that an electorate that votes Ron Paul in the White House may vote similarly for Congress. I am personally spear-heading a campaign to the tune of, "Put Ron Paul in the White House and the Green Party in Congress."
This is my way of assuring moderates that neither would take over, a way for me (and my writing) to stay in touch with "progressives" and a way for Greens to consider a vote for Ron Paul (if they see it as a package).
I think Libertarians need to take over the Republican Party following Ron Paul. There was a post on here about Lib. and Con. Party candidates.
I go to my local GP meetings (got one tomorrow night), I'd suggest any right-leaning RP supporters to do the same with Libs. and Cons. and try to get them to register and take the lead in the GOP. If anything, at least for this next year. Ron Paul has a solid chance this time and it'd be very lame of us to let this opportunity pass. It might be the last chance we get to change the course of our country.
And a lot of my "liberal" friends are starting to get that. I think I'll have some Primary voters once I start carrying registration cards (and stamps) with me at all times.
Let's keep the movement moving!

Good Article Treg.
There are a few things you could add, like a President Paul would/could abolish legal tender laws, that would open the doors to competing types of Constitutional money. End the wars, and eventually abolish the Fed and IRS.
I just don't understand why most Americans haven't figured out that Ron Paul is the "Only" logical choice for President in 2012 .

Let's be real.
The Fire Snyder campaign needs volunteers. Are you one of the people who would volunteer if you had time? You've thought about it but you just can't see how you can make the time? Kids, school, work, husband, wife, church, stuff, and oh just everything. I get it. But Fire Snyder needs your help.
If you would like to volunteer but you don't think you can make enough time for it, we'd like to make it simple for you. So here are some relatively easy ways to support the Fire Snyder campaign, in two hours per week or less.
- Grab a ballot petition and ask 25 people for signatures. You don't have to get 25 signatures, just commit to asking for them. Depending on where you do this, you could spend anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours finding 25 people to ask. If this is unrealistic where you live, then pick another number that works for your situation.
- Write letters to the editor. Choose two newspapers and write unique letters to each, explaining why you support the recall. Pick one issue, stay on your message, and offer each newspaper a letter written just for them. Write in your own voice. This gets easier with practice.
- Collect stories. Almost everyone around you has had experience with public education, pensions, unemployment, food stamps, labor unions, our first responders, or some other piece of America that Rick Snyder is attacking. Get those people to talk to you and tell you their stories. Then use those stories to tell the human side of Snyder's policies on a personal blog or podcast.
- Investigative blogging. Investigative blogging can be simple and straightforward using readily accessible evidence. Did Rick break a campaign promise? Did he take a hypocritical stand? Was he untruthful about something he's done? This type of information can be researched quite easily online. Just one quality post per week can help the public understand why Snyder's got to go.
- Recruit 2-3 of your friends to recall Rick in 2 hours or less. Coordinate your efforts and have fun with it.
Even if you're swamped with work and bone-sucking broke, there's room for you in the Fire Snyder campaign.

The Vidhana Soudha (Kannada: ವಿಧಾನ ಸೌಧ), located in Bengaluru (Bangalore), is the seat of the state legislature of Karnataka.[1] It is an imposing building, constructed in a style sometimes described as Mysore Neo-Dravidian,[2] and incorporates elements of Indo-Saracenic and Dravidian styles.[3] The construction was completed in 1956.
Construction history[edit]
Kengal Hanumanthaiah is credited with the conception and construction of the Vidhana Soudha, .[4] The foundation stone was laid by the then Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, on 13 July 1951.[5] However, it was Hanumanthaiah who was instrumental in the redesign and speedy construction of Vidhana Soudha. He visited Europe, Russia, United States and other places and got the idea of building the Vidhana Soudha by incorporating various designs from the buildings he had seen. It was completed in 1956. He took a lot of interest and effort in building this marvelous granite building.
Design and construction[edit]
The Vidhana Soudha has four floors above and one floor below ground level and sprawls across an area of 2,300 by 1,150 feet (700 m × 350 m). It is the largest Legislative building in India. Its eastern face has a porch with 12 granite columns, 40 feet (12 m) feet tall. Leading to the foyer is a flight of stairs with 45 steps, more than 200 feet (61 m) wide. The central dome, 60 feet (18 m) in diameter, is crowned by a likeness of the Indian national emblem. The front of the building is inscribed with the slogan "Government's Work is God's Work" and the Kannada equivalent, "ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಕೆಲಸ ದೇವರ ಕೆಲಸ."[3] In 1996, it inspired a visiting U.S. state governor, George Voinovich of Ohio, to propose inscribing "With God, all things are possible" on the Ohio Statehouse.[6]
The cost of construction at that time was just 17.5 million rupees. But presently, annual maintenance cost itself is more than 20 million rupees (which include repairs, painting, and other miscellaneous expenses).
The building is illuminated on Sundays and public holidays.
Following the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, concerns were raised about the security of Vidhana Soudha. The fencing near the footpath on all sides were replaced with a strong 10-foot high steel fencing.[7][8] Consequently watch towers, upgraded scanning equipment, automated doors and thorough screening systems were installed.[9]
Vikas Soudha[edit]
The Karnataka government has constructed a replica named Vikasa Soudha to the south of the building. Initiated by the then Chief Minister S M Krishna and inaugurated in February 2005, it is intended to be an annexe building, housing some of the ministries and legislative offices.
It is located on Dr Ambedkar Rd, Seshadripuram. Opposite to Vidhana Soudha is The High Court of Karnataka. Both buildings are in the Cubbon park which is located near K.S.L.T.A (Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association).

New shift, new person
8May 15, '13 by Good Morning, GilSo, I was next on the list to go to day shift on my unit. I accepted without reservation (have always wanted days, just knew I needed to wait my turn). I feel like an entirely different person, feel like "me" again. Cheerful, optimistic again, more quality time off, time to spend with my husband. It's great! I made the best of it before, but still always felt tired no matter how much sleep I got.
Didn't take any time to adjust at all. Felt better immediately. I knew this would happen since whenever I took vacation time before for just a week off, I felt normal during that week. I loved who I worked with on nights, and will miss them, but the day people are cool, too, and it's awesome that when I get 3 days off, I actually have 3 whole days off.
Either way, it's a day off! The birds are chirping, and it's beautiful! A month ago, I would have said, "Ugh, stupid birds. Just start raining so I can sleep."
I will say: If you're wondering whether or not you need a change of shift or new job, wait for the change of shift at your job first. Feeling rested on days off makes a huge difference on one's outlook on just about everything. I will also say: new nurses new to ICU? It's best to start on night shift so you can learn. I think most new nurses would drown on day shift on my unit, and that's probably the case for other units, as well. -

Welcome to the land of the living! -
0May 15, '13 by Good Morning, GilThanks, Grn Tea! Day life is pretty awesome. The sun shines a lot here, so it's nice to be able to see it .
5May 15, '13 by Do-over, ASN, RNI tried day shift for 7 months - because I thought I would feel better. I sleep worse, and the frustration level is through the roof. Going back to nights as soon as I can!
I am glad I did it, though. I miss the shift premium too, although at this point - they would have to pay me a premium to stay on the light side!
Glad it is working out for you =-) -
0May 15, '13 by ChristineNCongrats. I rotated and then worked straight nights for years, and recently started working straight days. While I enjoyed nights, I didn't realize how much it was messing up my life until I started working days. Being able to see my husband (a M-f 9-5 guy) every night is amazing
1May 15, '13 by BuckRNI'm so glad there are people like you who want to go to day shift. I despise working days! I think part of what got me my new job is that when the panel asked if I was ok working nights I said "I don't do days." and they all said almost in unison "We don't either." I haven't started yet, but I think I will like my new team!Good Morning, Gil likes this.
2May 15, '13 by Good Morning, GilThanks guys! There are both day and night people, so that's what's good about health care, the ability to choose our shift (once experienced enough to do so). Most people start on nights (because most experienced people don't want to work straight nights), but there are some that do, and some just do it so they can see their children more and be home to get them off the bus, etc.
Hope ya'll had a good Wednesday, and if you were working, hope it was a good shift! (Sometimes good is relative, isn't it? )redheadRN220 and BuckRN like this. -
1May 17, '13 by redheadRN220On June 6th I will be leaving the dark side to join the ranks of the sun seekers. I am excited and hesitant in the same breath. I have always loved nights, I really am a night owl. I wake up when everyone else is going to sleep. I don't do mornings unless I'm already up , but I recently had some time off between jobs and realized the idea of a day shift seemed intriguing, especially with weekends. I always hated having to work Friday into Saturday on my off weekends, because I lost most of my Saturday. Even though I still had Sunday, most everyone was winding down getting ready for work on Monday and here I was ready to go. I also hated that my day off during the week, wasn't really a day off. The only reason I considered this day position is because it's only 5 miles from my home, it's an 8-hour shift and I don't have to get up at a ridiculous hour...I think I can manage that (I hope!).Good Morning, Gil likes this.

How To Use FreeMind To Design Or Manage A Website. When you think of tools that you can use to create web pages, you probably think of things like Kompozer or Firebug.
However, what if I told you that one tool that can really boost your creative juices when it comes to formulating a web design layout is a mind map? We've covered a lot of mind mapping tools here at MUO. Nancy reviewed Thoughtboxes, and Jeffry covered Mindmapping tools for Mac. I think my favorite mindmapping application of them all is the open source project FreeMind. Free mind mapping (and related types) software. There are regular inquiries on Twitter and in forums about free mind mapping software, so to provide answers, InformationTamers have put together this list.

Other Pets at The Kitty Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Win-da, a Wenatchee Siamese cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Siamese for sale in Wenatchee, or seeking a Siamese cat from a breeder in Wenatchee.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Wenatchee 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 Wenatchee 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 Siamese breeders who help with Siamese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Wenatchee paves the way for another one to be saved.

CHICAGO, October 23, 2013 — "Denial" is a venomous term applied to those skeptical about the role of humans in global climate change, meant to equate climate change skeptics with Holocaust deniers. True believers in the theory of man-made climate change can't understand how anyone can question the "overwhelming evidence" that mankind is causing dangerous global warming. Who can be opposed to saving the planet?
According to Dr. David Suzuki, a Canadian environmentalist, "Despite the international scientific community's consensus on climate change, a small number of critics continue to deny that climate change exists or that humans are causing it. Widely known as climate change "skeptics" or "deniers," these individuals are generally not climate scientists and do not debate the science with the climate scientists…"
SEE RELATED: Carbon capture and storage: The Edsel of energy policies
But there are more than a few climate skeptics and many are scientists. Dr. Art Robinson led a team that completed the Global Warming Petition Project in 2007. The Project compiled a list of more than 31,000 US-based scientists skeptical of the theory of dangerous man-made warming. While most petition signers are not climatologists, they are respected scientists from different disciplines and include more than 9,000 PhDs.
Project signers stated, "There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate."
President Obama attacked climate skeptics in his June address at Georgetown University, stating, "…but I don't have much patience for anyone who denies that this challenge is real. We don't have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society." The pro-Obama political group Organizing for Action has mounted a "Call Out the Climate Change Deniers" campaign. The effort urges citizens to target more than 100 skeptics in Congress and "call them out" on Twitter.
Former Vice President Al Gore recently ripped the US news media at the Brookings Institution, saying that the media was "frightened" and "intimidated" by climate deniers. "They get swarmed by these deniers online and in letters and pickets and all that if they even mention the word climate, and so they very timidly, they get frightened and they're afraid to mention the word climate."
SEE RELATED: Climate change is dominated by the water cycle, not carbon dioxide
In fact, most of the media is strongly biased in support of human-caused climate change. Earlier this month, Paul Thornton, opinion editor at The Los Angeles Times, made it clear that skeptical climate change articles are considered to be "in error" and do not get printed by The Times.
Most TV meteorologists don't accept the theory of man-made climate change. In 2010, George Washington University conducted a survey of US television meteorologists who were members of the American Meteorological Society and the National Weather Service, receiving 517 responses. Sixty-three percent of the respondents judged that global warming was caused "mostly by natural changes in the environment," while 27 percent agreed with the statement "global warming is a scam."
These meteorologists are under attack by the climate inquisitors. The organization Forecast the Facts was formed in 2012 to focus on "accountability for broadcast meteorologists." The organization initiates letter writing campaigns and petitions to TV stations in an effort to censor weathercasters who express global warming skepticism.
Mr. Gore and others assert that skeptics are "paid by the large fossil fuel polluters." But anyone who knows the world's leading skeptical scientists, Dr. Richard Lindzen of MIT, Dr. Roy Spencer of the University of Alabama-Huntsville, Dr. William Happer of Princeton, Dr. Willie Soon of Harvard, and many others, understand that this is nonsense.
SEE RELATED: Climate policies lock chains on developing nations
Unpaid volunteers have played a major role in challenging the theory of man-made warming. Meteorologist Anthony Watts and Dr. Roger Pielke, Sr. organized hundreds of volunteers to audit US temperature stations, finding significant errors in the US temperature record. Canadians Stephen McIntyre and Dr. Ross McKitrick exposed methodological errors in Michael Mann's Hockey Stick Curve. Watts put it well: "The theory was wrong, the evidence has changed, and thousands of volunteers have exposed it."
The reason citizens are increasingly skeptical about the theory of man-made global warming is not because of oil-company funded propaganda. It's because the science is faulty. A close look at the science shows a strong case for climate change dominated by natural factors, not man-made emissions.
Proxy evidence shows that Earth was warmer 1,000 years ago during the Medieval Warm Period than it is today. Physicists agree that water vapor, not carbon dioxide, is Earth's dominant greenhouse gas. Satellite data shows that, while Arctic sea ice is near a 30-year low, Antarctic Sea ice is near a 30-year high. More than double the number of polar bears roam the Arctic today than in 1960. Historical records show that droughts, floods, and storms are neither more frequent nor more severe today than past decades. Tidal gauges show that sea levels are rising at about 7‒8 inches per century, not the 20 feet projected by some climate alarmists. And contrary to model predictions, global surface temperatures have been flat for more than 15 years.
Universities support the dogma of man-made climate change and take a dim view of skeptics. Debates about climate science are few since university environmental science departments decline to debate. A young professor of physical science must support the theory man-made warming to gain tenure.
Some months back, the Department of Meteorology and Climate Science at San Jose State University posted an image of two scholars threatening to burn my book, The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism. Recall a line from the movie Jaws: "It proves that you wealthy college boys don't have the education enough to admit when you're wrong."
Steve Goreham is Executive Director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of the book The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Climatism: Mankind and Climate Change Mania.

YOu have to feel for Leonardo DiCaprio. IS he ever going to win an Oscar, or will he become this generation's Peter O'Toole? That said, you can't fault the Academy from picking Matthew McConaughey, because his turn in Dallas Buyer's Club was amazing.
The best moment of the night was when Bill Murray gave a shout out to the dearly departed Harold Ramis. Announcing the nominees for cinematography, he stoped: "We missed one," he pointed out, "HArold Ramis for Caddyshack, Ghostbusters and Stripes!" AWESOME.
I was OK with all of the winners lst night; nothing really bothered me like it does in some years. decent show all around.

I followed the other thread about the 2 rib roast and looked at the great recipes. I've never cooked a boneless ribeye roast and could use some help, please! I'm not even sure it'll fit in my oven whole, so I might have to cut it in half. If it is cut in half, do I cook for one 4.5# roast even though both are sitting side by side in the roasting pan? Also, I assume I should use a rack of some sort and not put the meat directly on the bottom of the pan (OK, go ahead and laugh!) Can I use a flat rack or do I need to use 2 V-shaped racks? Is traditional roasting better than convection roasting? Thanks for any help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Boneless rib-eyes (aka Del Monico) are easy to do perfectly. Google for (many) recipes or do this: Pre-heat to 400F. Either whole or in halves place on rack in pan uncovered fat-side up. If doing two pieces be sure they're separated so both brown and seal independently. After 15 minutes, turn oven down to 325. Depending on your particular pieces, 1.75 to 2.5 hours, typically, or about 25-30 min. per pound up to five pounds or so, then depends on diameter. Use a thermometer. If you want "rare" (140) take it out when thermometer says 130. Same for "medium" (160) -- remove when at 150. Neither you nor your guests want it well done. Let it relax covered for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Be advised there are lots of variations and they're easy to find by googling or looking at cookbooks. However, except for over-cooking, this is a VERY forgiving piece of meat. I have little doubt yours will be wonderful whatever method you choose. |
Thanks asolo! |

OVEN, If you are going to cook to 160F, it will be VERY FAR from medium, (will be closer to shoe leather) IMHO. I cook my ribeye at about 300F (it will cook slower, but this lower temp allows for more uniform meat doneness. Instead of having the outer 1/4 well done, and the next amount medium and the center rare, unless you WANT it that way.) and then until internal temp reaches about 127F. If you want "brown crust" (for showing off) for flavor, I would recommend that AFTER your desired internal temp is reached, that you crank your oven up to 475F, and put roast in uncovered for about 15 min. You should have an internal therm that you can leave in the meat, IMHO, and I have some extras if you are interested. As far as leaving roast in pan or on a rack, I leave it in the bottom. Makes for MUCH MORE FLAVORFUL gravy, IMHO. Regards; |
Thanks bluelytes! I also started a thread at the Cooking Forum where I got some good responses too. I used cabogirl's method and my roast turned out absolutely gorgeous and so succulent. However, I think next time I might do what you do and not use a rack. I did miss having alot of pan juices for gravy. |

Hi Liza, I read from FAQ on the nolo website, "The $5 million exemption applies to property you give away during life or leave at your death. In other words, you can transfer, either while you are living or at your death, up to $5 million of property tax-free." So, does it mean that I can pass a $1 million house to my children without any costs? now? If yes, what time is used as the tax basis? Yes, until the current law expires at the end of 2012, you could absolutely give that house to your children free of gift tax. But they would also get YOUR basis in the house for capital gains tax purposes. In other words, if you purchased that house for $25,000 in the 1970's and now it's worth $1 million, if you give that house to your kids, and they sell it, they will owe capital gains taxes on all of that gain. If you give them the house only upon your death, their basis in that property would be the fair market value of the property at your death, so all of that gain goes away. If you make the gift now, also, don't forget to file a gift tax return by April 15th of the following year. You are still required to file that return, even though no tax is due.

Rate Rostislav D. Barabash
Rostislav D. Barabash's Ratings
One of the worst clinicians I have ever seen. I had gone to him because I wanted medication for my depression, and because my therapist thought I might have ADHD, as did I, from what I had read in literature about ADHD and speaking with others with ADHD. I expressed this to him, but he just did a basic checklist of symptoms for depression. Later, when reviewing my symptoms with me, he included some which I did not say, or framed them in a way that was contrary to how I presented them. When I expressed my suspicion of having ADHD, he dismissed it. Did not assess for it, said that maybe I am struggling with school because I wasn't smart enough. He seriously said that. Said the sole reason Adderall was created was so soldiers could stay up at their post when in battle ??? Funny thing is, he prescribed it to me anyway, so he medicated me w/o really believing I had the diagnosis. He acted like I would take it just to study, which was not my intention. Horrible all around.

"DR. Rossi" is a great guy just a bit misunderstood at times. Before visiting with him just know that if he is hard for him to write while you are speaking. Make sure to tell him everything you need him to know before he starts to write. Other then that he is an excellent health professional. He is very knowledgeable with psychiatric medicine and more patient then most psychiatrists. He takes time with you and has very good bedside manner. He has ailed me back from very bad health. He also has a very good understanding of dependency issues and of medical interventions for any ailments involving mental illness issues.
