Brian Douglas Austin (born 22 March 1943) was a Queensland politician and Minister of Health (1980 to 1983) who represented the state seat of Wavell for the Liberal Party (1977–1983) and then for the National Party (1983–1986). Austin switched to the National Party (along with Don Lane, who was the Minister for Main Roads) in 1983 after Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen lobbied several Liberals to cross the floor, thus enabling the National Party to form government with a very slim majority, as prior to the swap the Nationals were one seat short of governing in their own right. At the 1986 Queensland state election, Austin became the first MP for the new Queensland electorate of Nicklin (1986–1989).
In 1987, Austin was one of three ministers who told Governor Walter Campbell that Petersen no longer had enough support to govern. This was a key event in the caucus coup that saw Bjelke-Petersen deposed as premier later that year.
Austin was subsequently implicated in the Fitzgerald Inquiry and was forced to retire in 1989.[1][2][3] [4]
Austin was convicted on 25 counts of misappropriating public funds, regarding $8700 spent on private accommodation, travel and meals, and was sentenced to 15 months' jail.[5]
In 2010 his profession was reported by the Courier-Mail newspaper to be selling real estate in the exclusive Brisbane suburbs of Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield.[5]

Shopbot Assembly Photos
The posts and pictures on the forum were very helpful for our Shopbot assembly. For what it is worth, here are some pictures of how our Shopbot went together. Hopefully, they'll be of some help to others putting their machines together.
Here's where it all started - the empty space in our workshop. The starting point was assembly of the frame. Here's the legs and the sides coming together. Here are all of the cross members assembled, and the leveling and installation of the rails. While it helped that we stared out with a level floor, leveling the frame wasn't too difficult following the instructions in the manual. Here's the installation of the XY and Z cars on the rails. Our machine came with the plexiglass cable guide, but following the lead of others on the forum, we used cable carriers. These were purchased from McMaster Carr. (Thanks to Gary Campbell for model number information he posted on the forum). The upper cable carrier was mounted with some pretty simple home-made aluminum brackets. The x-axis lower cable carrier is also mounted to aluminum brackets, but also has a plexiglass plate for support. Here's the wiring of the cable carriers. We mounted our control box and VFD to the wall next to the Shopbot. This was pretty simple (except that the mount locations were not optimized for normal stud spacing). Based on other forum posts about heat, our mounting concept (white painted 2x4's) left plenty of airspace behind the boxes. We were originally a little worried about having enough wire to run from the machine to the boxes, but everything worked out OK. Here's how the machine looked with all of the wire run through the cable carriers. Here's the external view of the wiring to the boxes. The gray plastic box under the control box is where we coiled all of the excess wire. Here's a picture of the interior of the control box completely wired with the power feeds and control lines, and a photo of the wires coming out of the control box. Now, this is where we departed from the norm -- we are using an Apple i-Mac to run the shopbot. Here's the mounting of the i-Mac on the wall. It's an elegant solution -- the i-Mac has a big screen and the computer all in one package -- plus an industrial quality wireless keyboard. This is a 24" 2.8GHz model. It easily mounts to the wall using an Apple VGA mount kit and a VGA wall mount. With the machine wired, the next step was the vacuum table. Here is the first layer of the table getting ready to be bolted down. This is a sheet 3/4 inch 5x9 MDF. While we would have rather not used MDF, this was the best solution we could find for our 96x60 machine. (Our workshop is pretty dry, so hopefully it won't turn into "rice krispies" as Bill Palumbo said at recent Camp Shopbots). Here's the plenum layer being glued on. We attempt anything fancy for this process -- just used a lot of clamps and weights to hold the material down. This is another sheet of 3/4 inch 5x9 MDF. Here's the first time the machine cut anything -- the plenum board. This is a photo of the cutting just starting. With that, we breathed a sigh of relief that the i-Mac would really run the Shopbot. After reading forum posts about this and not getting enthusiasm for Apple from Shopbot training class, we were a little nervous that this would work. Here's proof that it does -- Shopbot control software running on the Mac. We're using Parallels software to run the PC files. This solution really works well for us. We've got several Mac's networked in our home and office. When we finish a design file in the office, we are easily able to move the design file to the workshop Mac on the network. Plus we've discovered some other interesting features using one of the new dual-core processor Macs. For example, i-Macs have a built in camera that shows real time pictures in a video conference over the network or over the web. Because we are able to run Shopbot control software and Mac programs simultaneously, we can point the camera at the Shopbot and watch/hear the Shopbot cutting files. Overall, the Mac works great. The screen is big and visible, and it has a great wireless keyboard and wireless mouse that make it really convenient to run the machine. Here's what the plenum looked like after it was cut. Although we really liked some of the more elegant plenum ideas on the forum, we decided to keep it simple on version 1. We set up 7 zones. Five zones were set up to hold down normal 4x8 sheet goods. The other two zones -- which use the extra foot of the 96x60 machine are contemplating that we'll use the machines for board lumber. The 4x8 area was broken into 5 zones to create one 2x2 zone in front where we could run smaller pieces. To seal the plenum, we sprayed it with 5 coats of polyurethane floor finish. Here's the machine taped off for spraying and the final finish. We tried to stay simple with our vacuum piping design. One Fein vac runs the front of the table and one runs the back of the table with an ability to connect both Fein vacs together to run specific zone. We mounted the piping on an aluminum angle on the side of the machine -- which kept the front of the machine very clean and made runs to the table simple. Here's how the piping looks under the table. The vacuum piping connected to the plenum table mostly by a friction fit. With the Shopbot precision cut holes and a lot of polyurethane, plastic piping fit very tightly in the plenum holes. We also sealed around the bottoms with silicon. Here's how the plastic piping looks coming through the plenum table. Next was installing the spoilboard and surfacing both sides. For the spoilboard we used two pieces of lightweight MDF -- with a seam that matched our plenum design. The first attempt at surfacing the spoilboard was a disaster -- we tried to do it with no clamps and just vacuum. Unfortunately, as we cut the skin off of the first side, the MDF sheet started releasing its internal stresses and started curling. We successfully turned that sheet into mostly sawdust. For our next attempt we used clamps at the corners. That solved the problem. Plus it also taught us about safe Z clearance heights when we cut through our first clamp. Here's a picture of the spoilboard being surfaced with the surfacing bit. This worked well -- our resulting surface was flat and smooth on both sides. The edges of the table including the spoilboard were sealed with multiple coats of polyurethane and gray epoxy paint prior to surfacing the final side. The spoilboard was glued down with a lot of silicon sealer/adhesive. We used the vacuum to hold down the spoilboard -- using some wax paper on top of the spoilboard to create enough vacuum. Here's the final product. We made one last modification -- to the Fein vacs. We experienced vacuum leaks connecting hoses to the orange Fein bodies. So, using an idea from the forum, as our first Shopbot project, we built custom bases for the Fein heads. Here are the new Fein bases being cut out on the machine from one sheet of MDF: Here's the base of the assembled box -- sprayed with multiple coats of polyurethane and then the interior coated with epoxy paint. The top of the box was built to fit up inside the Fein head and provide a solid seal. This is the completed Fein stand -- a photo of the stand and a photo with the Fein head installed. Here are the Feins attached to the vacuum piping. That's it. Here are overall photos of the final machine installation. Thanks again for all the forum users who posted information that helped us get our machine started. |
Nice neat clean job. Good pictures, too. Now that you have ruined a sheet of material, cut a clamp, all you have to do is break a few bits and you are initiated!! Gary |
WOW! That's one heck of a first post! Well done.
GREAT pictures!!!, Great Info!!!, and GREAT Posting !!! Thanks for putting the time in to assemble all of that.....Hope we can either reference the posting, or just transfer the entire posting to the WIKI(?) |
Bill: Feel free to use the pictures and information any way you feel would be of value.
very impressive, thanks for taking the time to post all of that...where did you find the plans for plenum
Outstanding set up of your machine. BTW you have email.
Fantastic job Allison. & welcome to the community. If Gary Campbell tells you "Good job" then you can definitely be proud of your work. I'm designing on a Mac on Parallels, it seems to run Windows better than Windows, as Gene Buckle says, "Linux for servers, Macs for design, and Windows for Solitaire" Again great work, now I'll copy your design for the vac table if you dont mind - Neville
Nice Setup Alison. Would love to see pics of the rest of your shop. It looks very clean, tidy and impressive.
Glen |
Great pictures. Thanks for taking the time to share them with us. I am scheduled to received my Bot in April and will be referring back to these pictures often as a reference and as an 'excitement generator' until mine Bot arrives. I agree with Glen. Your shop looks great. Scott |

Both Time and Newsweek lead this week with the Cheney shooting incident, but thanks to the vagaries of the newsweekly publishing cycle, both magazines landed on doorsteps a full nine days after the event in question — well after the issue had been chewed over by multitudes for days on end.
Fortunately, however, each publication has a vigorous Web site that was all over the story last week, rendering their dead tree editions, at least in this case, moot.
In news we haven't seen everywhere else, U.S. News & World Report takes a look at a story that only gets a cursory treatment in the American press, the continued small-scale violence and murder happening in Iraq — specifically, in Baghdad neighborhoods. While car bombings have become the norm in our morning headlines, many more Iraqis are being kidnapped and murdered on a daily basis. "Baghdad's city morgue," says reporter Ben Gilbert, according to the United Nations, processed 1,673 bodies in the last two months of 2005, of which 1,034 had bullet wounds. "That's in a city of about 5 million — or nearly two-thirds the size of New York, which had 94 homicides in the same period."
According to "Sunni leaders" Gilbert spoke to, "communities are being terrorized by the Iraqi police, Army, and allied militias. In a predawn raid in a Sunni neighborhood last week, Iraqi authorities broke windows, grabbed computers, took cars, and hauled away, without explanation, 13 males between the ages of 15 and 60. Family members weren't told where the men were being taken and fear they will turn up dead." Part of the problem is that it's hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys. "Iraqi police and soldiers wear black ski masks and balaclavas to protect their identities. The various branches of the security forces wear dozens of different uniforms, which can also be bought on the black market …"
"For now," Gilbert writes, "it's a murderous free-for-all." "It's basically gang warfare," a U.N. representative told him. "The real cause is a breakdown of law and order in the absence of any effective police force that can do the job of protecting people."
Speaking of Iraq, Peter Beinart of The New Republic is unhappy with how the war is being covered on American television news programs. As an example, he uses last week's news that Ibrahim Al Jaafari is being named prime minister by the United Iraqi Alliance, the Shia Islamist coalition that won a majority of seats in last December's elections. Beinart says that although the appointment has huge consequences for Iraq's immediate and long-term future, "Jaafari's selection sparked little discussion in the broadcast media. It made the front page of Monday's New York Times and Washington Post, but, in the mysterious alchemy that converts print news into network news, the Jaafari story almost disappeared. According to transcripts, it received less than a paragraph of text on ABC's World News Tonight Sunday and Fox News Sunday. And those were the responsible outlets. CBS's and NBC's Sunday evening broadcasts didn't mention Jaafari's selection at all."
He lambasts network news in general for its fluffy coverage of domestic and international events, writing that "more than four years after September 11 supposedly reintroduced the United States to the world, America's political television has failed almost as egregiously as America's political leaders — and in some of the same ways. For George W. Bush, of course, the war on terrorism has been one vast wedge issue, which he has used in the same basic way that Republicans used race in the 1970s and 1980s: to artificially divide liberals and the white working class … And, because cable television feeds on the partisan divide as well, it has played right into Bush's hands."
The new issue of The Nation features a fascinating interview with cartoonists Joe Sacco and Art Spiegelman about the controversy surrounding the publication of cartoons making light of the Prophet Mohammed.
Spiegelman: "It's escalated to the point where it's moot whether one should reprint these pictures or not because now to do it puts you firmly on the side of the libeler, the defamer. And yet, it seems to me that to write about this without access to the pictures is an absurdity. The answer to speech, in my religion, is more speech, a lot of yakking — and a lot of drawing."
But Sacco isn't so sure: "I'd say it's enough to just describe them. Putting the cartoon itself out — what's the value of it?"

With dresses averaging between $135 to $150, and shoes $100 to $250, many girls took design control into their own hands -- or their mothers'. Tiffany Clarke, a senior at Manhattan's Washington Irving High School, showed up in a dashing white top hat and tails. "I wanted to look unusual, so I came up with the design and my mom made it," she said. The accessories? A white cane and spangly sandals. Danielle Cooreale, 17, from Wilton High in Connecticut, felt the same way and created an eye-catching sequined floral dress with red tulle trim. "It's the first thing I've ever made," she noted. But if a superlative were to be given for Most Creative Use of a Household Item, the winners would be Natalie Williams and her date Christopher Eaton, at Chicago's Oak Park-River Forest High School. They whipped up intricate outfits with duct tape.
Meanwhile, others were looking to fill their fantasies. "I just want to be a princess tonight," said Washington Irving's Nettye Hampton. "I am usually a jeans-and-sneakers kind of girl, but tonight is my night to shine." And shine she did, transformed in a pink fairy-tale number with a fitted bodice that spread into what seemed like miles of sparkly tulle and crinolines. But she wasn't the only one. Girls at Atlanta's Westminster school chose sweeping debutante looks. And in Chicago, Tyra Funches and her friends Alicia Hill and Krystal Adams arrived in their dreamy ballgowns, while their classmate Lisa Locascio wore a gold empire-waisted dress with butterfly appliques. "I thought it looked like something from Titanic," she said.
Just as some looked to Cinderella for inspiration, others went the siren route. Ariana Balestrieri from Bronx High School of Science vamped it up in a sexy black corset and layered pink skirt, while Washington Irving's Katiria Marales turned heads in a racy black number with a plunging V to rival J.Lo's notorious Versace dress.
These young ladies also got creative with their accessories, many choosing fresh flowers to pin in their hair. At Bronx Science, Mikaela Gross donned a satin cloche to cap off her flapper look. But lest we forget, the night is meant for dancing and when it came to their feet, many girls opted for comfort rather than stiletto chic. Some went for flip-flops or China slippers, and in the Bronx, Jodi Sussman and her date John Marra went for basic black, right down to their matching Converse kicks.

Diablo III's real-money auction house has only been live for two weeks now, but already people are making a killing selling fake products for real cash. While we've only been able to make a small sum ourselves (thanks to whoever bought our Legendary belt for $2!), we've wrangled together a few gamers who have made hundreds of dollars each, and asked them for their secrets. They reluctantly agreed, and we've assembled their tips into a guide that should, hopefully, have everyone rolling in dough… or at least making a few bucks.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that Diablo III's best gear comes from its hardest difficulty. Tackling Inferno-level opponents requires the game's best gear, but the reward makes it worth the hassle: enemies, even in Act I, will drop level 60+ gear, and if you're looking to make money on the auction house, you'd best be looking for the best.
Obviously, you're going to find the best stuff in the highest-level areas, but just about any spot in Inferno has the potential to drop awesome loot. Work your way around the opening areas of Act I, or try tackling Act II, III, or IV with friends.
You'll notice that some of these tips will get you tons of gold, but not too much cash. There's a reason for this: items bought or sold for gold can also be bought and sold for actual money on the RMT auction house. Some have said that the conversion is nearly 5 million gold to 40 dollars, though we've heard others say it's much, much lower. Either way, getting a ton of gold is an easy way to get a ton of cash.
While you farm Inferno for awesome gear you're undoubtedly going to find plenty of non-awesome gear. In fact, expect a 50:1 ratio of badness to goodness if you want to maintain your sanity. That said, even a bad drop can be turned into a good thing. Anything higher than level 60 can be broken down into crafting materials, which can be sold on the commodity market. This works like a stock market, with prices fluctuating every day (usually peaking during the week and dropping on the weekend). That said, don't undersell yourself. Pricing your materials at slightly over the current rate will likely still get them to sell.
Right now, high-level gear with Vitality and Resist All sell for the highest prices, since they're essentially necessary for competing in Inferno mode. Magic and Gold Find, too, can be sold for high prices, as they'll help players find gear that they can sell. Remember these stats, and be sure to save anything that has them. That said; also keep an eye on patch notes for buffs or nerfs, since you can react accordingly. When they nerfed Increased Attack Speed, for instance, Crit items raised in price, and some saw this coming and made a killing sniping these items early.
It's easy to overlook magical items (or "blues") when you find them, as they usually only have two or three statistics, but it's possible for these to still be worthwhile. Sure, a Rare item can have a bunch of stats, but a "perfect" magical item can have the right stats, and that's all that matters. They usually sell for less, but they'll still sell on the Auction House as long as they have the stats players want.
Those magical items that have the potential to be crazy good? They're not just lootable, but buyable, too. Vendors sell randomized magic items, and they'll occasionally roll perfect stats, making it easy to buy and resell for a profit. We've heard of people finding gear for a few thousand gold that they were able to turn around for ten times that much, so check the vendors whenever you're in town – seriously, why not?
Though it might seem archaic to spam chat for buying and selling items when there's an Auction House to use, it's still worth paying attention to. The AH takes 15% off of your product, and some people are willing to buy and sell items directly via chat in favor of losing a small percentage. Using this, you're sometimes able to get good deals that you can, in turn, flip on the AH. People will also buy and sell unidentified level 63 gear here for millions of gold, giving you an easy way to build up a few million bucks if you're not interested in taking risks.
If you're willing to play it fast and loose, simply search the Auction House for good buys and hope you get an opportunity to completely corner the market. If you notice there are only three or four 1200 damage bows and you can buy them all, do it, and then raise the price by a few million and sell them back. Bam, you now have the monopoly on the high-damage bows.
Legendary items in Diablo III were handled much different than Unique items in Diablo II were. Instead of being set gear with specific (but slightly variable) stats, Legendary items are simply items that have the potential to be super, duper good. When people sell them on the AH, however, they'll often just price it competitively without knowing why certain ones were selling for the price they were.
If you know which stats are the best, look at the lowest-priced legendary items and see if anyone has dumped theirs on the bottom half without doing their research – you might get lucky. You might find a perfect item mixed in with the imperfects, allowing you to resell this diamond in the rough for a huge profit.
Using these tips, there's a good chance that you'll be able to up your game and at least make a small fortune in Diablo III. It takes time, of course, and tons of effort, but with some hard work and a bit of luck there's a chance that you'll be able to make it work.
And if you want more Diablo III tips and tricks check out Diablo III tips and tricks and our Diablo III bosses guide.

text: With bright white snow, clear blue skies, and pristine trails, the Northwoods is a wonderful place for snowshoeing, a growing sport in Wisconsin. Snowshoeing is a great workout that doesn't require technical skill; it's an easy way to explore places touched by Old Man Winter. Here at Wild Eagle Lodge, you can rent a pair of our snowshoes and snowshoe around our property, or venture elsewhere. Snowshoers will find trekking opportunities on both trails and hundreds of miles of logging roads in the Nicolet National Forest near Eagle River. The forest east of our town is laced with beautiful cross country ski/snowshoe trails. The surrounding communities of Vilas County, including the Boulder Junction, Manitowish Waters, Sayner, and Land O' Lakes areas also have many beautiful places to snowshoe and explore. Most people want trails, but the best paths are the ones you make yourselves. Those can seem to be anywhere after a fresh snowfall; cut across the lake and see for yourself!

Fall Color Preview 2013: A Multitude of Moods
By: Kristen Wegrzyn
Posted: September 3, 2013, from the September 2013 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
The rich Carafe can be used as an alternative to black around the eyes for an organic, back-to-nature look. Makeup, Donna Mee/DonnaMeeInc.com; photographer, Gary Lyons; model, Rachele Schank/Women Model Management

Mykonos Blue. Mykonos Blue is a bold, but classic shade. Blue can often be a challenging color to wear, but Mee says, "Mykonos Blue is flattering on the right shade of a blue eye if it has a darker outer iris, but it can also be done on a brown eye." She suggests that, like Emerald, this shade can be worn as an eyeliner for those seeking to make a fashion statement.
Samba. "Samba as a lip color is killer—extremely versatile for all skin tones. Women should feel an immediate boost of confidence when wearing a lovely red lip," says Elgueta. Although clients can be hesitant to wear red blush, Mee recommends using Samba sparingly on those with olive-yellow or golden complexions.
Turbulence. A dark gray, Turbulence can be used as an alternative to black. "Try to use the shade as a contour shadow or over the low lid if you're doing a smoky eye … Turbulence is especially striking on a muted-blue or blue-gray eye color," says Mee. "For those with large eyelids or a high crease, the color can still be too overwhelming. In that case, they should utilize it as an eyeliner or smudge it into the eye shadow on the lash line."
Vivacious. A deep fuchsia, Vivacious will enhance warm complexions, and is especially fabulous on an olive skin tone, says Mee. "For a woman who is more daring and likes a dramatic eye, use just a little halo of the Vivacious color at the outer edges of dark smoky eye. The combination looks great on a dark brown or hazel eye," she says, adding that anyone could wear it as a sheer tone in a lip gloss.
"The easiest way to incorporate a new or unfamiliar color into an eye makeup is to either use it as an eyeliner or to put it on the lid only and fade it into the crease, and do nothing else," say Bennett. "Using these rich colors—these brown-based purples and burgundies and oranges—if you do the color on the lid only, and blur the lines up to the crease, apply your liner and mascara—and it's a really nice, fresh way to do it."

Harkin, who said he added dried fruits to win initial approval for the pilot, told the WPPC he doesn't have anything against those foods. He asserted, though, that the uniqueness and effectiveness of the program should be preserved as is.
"Every day we spend in countess debates about pistachios or craisins is a day we don't spend fighting for why the fresh fruit and vegetable program should be expanded and protected," he said. "Especially now, this is not the time for such distractions and disputes."
Harkin's speech, which also addressed the dark themes of budget cutting and a positive reference to passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act, was warmly received by the crowed.
The lawmaker's sainted status in the industry didn't deter Vaughn Koligian, director of corporate sustainability for Kingsburg, Calif.-based Sun-Maid Growers of California, from pressing Harkin on the idea of returning dried fruit to the snack program. That exchange was the memorable moment from Harkin's speech.
Koligian told Harkin that "perhaps he wasn't aware" that the Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance unanimously voted to recommend that the USDA restore dried fruit to the program. Dried fruits were originally part of the pilot program but were later removed from eligibility.
Harkin, allowing that dried fruits were allowed in the program initially to win approval for the pilot, said it would be impossible to limit the list of commodities that could be added to the program. Almonds, pecans and pistachios would be followed by peanuts and other ill-fitting commodities. "How about soybeans, too?" Harkin said.
Harkin said it would soon be one commodity piled on top of another and soon it would no longer be the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, it would be a hodge podge of competing interests.
"The basic thrust of this program was to provide free fresh fruits and vegetables to kids,"he said. Nothing against dried fruit and nuts, Harkin said, but once the door is open there is no closing it.
The fresh produce industry should be thankful that Harkin has been able to nurture and grow the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program over the past decade. Notwithstanding the unanimous vote of the Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance, there should be no reservation among fresh produce marketers in backing Harkin's vision for the program's uniqueness and mission going forward.

When you go to a Disney park, what kind of souvenirs do you shop for?
Do you basically buy things based on a character, a ride, a theme? Do you shop to contribute to a collection of yours?
Do you have a favorite shop you always make a point to visit, or plan to visit in the future?
= = = = = = = = = =
Myself, I tend to look for vintage character items and Donald Duck souvenirs (I'm always on the lookout for a DD pressed coin!).
About 4 years ago, I found some neat keychains I'm particularly fond of in the Toon Town shop: both were a Donald and a Pluto vintage-style keychain contructed of wooden pieces and beads, with boot-type laces for arms and legs. I'll try to post a picture later. No other characters in this style were on the rack at that time. I wondered if that had been the last of them.... It would be nice to know what the others had looked like.
With my family's '06 Spring Break trip, I finally purchased some pins at the park, although I had bought some earlier at the Disney Store when they used to sell them.
During an earlier park visit, I had considered getting some pins (Donald Duck, vintage Mickey, Walt E. Disney commemoration), but this time I bought/traded pins of Mickey Mouse, Narnia, The Mickey Mouse Club, and Walt & Mickey.
I also buy character mint tins. At this time, I only need the Goofy golf-themed tin.
Right before this recent Spring Break trip, I found out about the Wonderland Music CD kiosk (!!) located at the VMK shop on (WDW) Mainstreet, and also at Downtown Disney and Disneyland. Once on vacation, I eagerly purchased some CDs, and I certainly plan to check out the selections during any future trips!

Book City: Hedgebrook's director on the allure of fantasy worlds
Amy Wheeler is a playwright whose work has been produced in New York, Seattle and Portland. In her day job as executive director of Hedgebrook writing retreat on Whidbey Island, she offers encouragement and hospitality to women writers from around the world.
Valerie Easton: What books are on your nightstand right now?
Amy Wheeler: Abigail Carter's The Alchemy of Loss, Garth Stein's The Art of Racing In the Rain and my well-worn and beloved copy of Virginia Woolf's Orlando.
Alchemy is Abigail's true story of losing her husband in one of the twin towers on 9/11. To be honest, it took me awhile to open the book. Reading her moving, funny, honest journey through grief — going on that ride — I'm reminded of how necessary it is to 'go there.'
Garth's novel is a delightful story, beautifully written and my telepathic connection with my dog Matilda is deepening as I read it.
Any book you've read lately that caught your imagination, inspired you, or changed how you look at the world?
Half the Sky by Nicolas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. Powerful stories of women and girls around the world, in developing countries, who are working against the odds to raise their children, get an education, start a business that benefits their village, rescue girls from the sex trade. The authors make the compelling case that as long as half the world's population (i.e. females) are oppressed, humanity cannot meet our full potential.
Have you read a truly great book lately? One you'd unhesitatingly recommend to friends and colleagues?
Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. The boy in it reminds me of my son. Reading it is helping me understand him and how his mind works.
Has being involved with Hedgebrook changed your reading life?
I read more, but I finish less! I have a habit of starting a book, then getting interrupted and starting another book. And before I know it, I'm deep into four or five books. I like moving between worlds and stretching my imagination. Also, much of my limited reading time goes to research for the plays I'm working on. I don't read as much fiction when I'm writing because I need to keep my head in the world that I'm creating.
Do you have a play in the works?
I'm currently working on Atomic Agape, a play that deals with the things that keep me awake at night, like our vulnerability in the face of mother nature's moods and shifts, and our ability to connect with someone all the way across the globe and still be disconnected from the person across the table from us.
People ask me if my plays are political, and they are, but I sort of think of myself as the kid in The Emperor's New Clothes — pointing a finger and saying, "Uh...the dude's naked." Telling the truth to spark a dialogue.
WhIch author has been most exciting to have in residence at Hedgebrook?
Impossible to answer! They are all amazing. So I'll go with the present moment: Ruth Ozeki is in residence, teaching a Master Class. It's also such a gift to get to know Gloria Steinem. She's working on her next book at Hedgebrook, one that spans much of her career and tells the story of her life "on the road," organizing and lecturing and meeting people.
What were your most cherished books when you were a child? Can you name a childhood favorite that influenced you?
Wow. That's a long list. I loved Laura Ingalls Wilder… getting lost in the world of Little House in the Big Woods and Little House on the Prairie, Pa playing his fiddle and Ma teaching them how to make things. I loved those books with a girl character who is adventurous.
Fantasy worlds like in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz captivated me. I also loved Beverly Cleary's books, and actually wrote her a fan letter when I was in fourth grade that she responded to. I told her I wanted to be a writer, and she took me very seriously and wrote me back some advice and good wishes. I've never forgotten that.

Juniors Show Off Outdoor Robots
SOCORRO, N.M. May 1, 2012 - Students enrolled in EE 382 (Introduction to Design) during their junior year worked in groups to address an open-ended design project. This year's project was to design an outdoor robot capable of remotely locating a beacon (representing a lost hiker or downed aircraft) that emitted an RF signal at 438MHz. The resulting robots navigated via GPS and compass, and took bearings to the RF beacon using antennas and electronics for signal processing mounted on the robots. Knowing locations of the robot as it moves and bearings to the beacon with respect to the robot, triangulation can be performed to determine the longitude and latitude of the beacon.

The Toronto Raptors' regular season kicks off against the Knicks on Oct. 27 so that gives me 10 days (starting today) to profile the guys I expect to make up the Raptors' 10-man rotation going into the 2010-11 season. Solomon Alabi, Marcus Banks, Ed Davis, Joey Dorsey, Ronald Dupree and Julian Wright are not part of this group at the moment but that could change later in the season and they'll get their own writeups if and when that time comes.
Let's do this in alphabetical order and start with an obligatory writeup of the somewhat mad-scientist-looking David Andersen.
David Andersen, C/PF, 6'11″, 247 lbs.
2009-10 stats: 63 games, 14.1 MPG, 5.8 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 0.7 APG, 0.2 BPG, 0.2 SPG, .432 FG%, .346 3P%, .687 FT%, 12.1 PER
It actually kind of bums me out that this is the first guy I have to write about for this season's Raptors player profiles. When I learned the news in July that Bryan Colangelo had acquired him from Houston for a future, conditional second round pick and cash, my reaction was puzzlement which quickly turned to despair. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Andersen is anywhere close to the worst player to ever put on a Raptors uniform — Greg Foster has been out of the league since 2003, thankfully — but I really don't see why the Raptors would want to back up their soft, jumpshooting center with a crappier, soft, jumpshooting center. I mean, it's not like this formula has brought the team great success up to this point, right?
If you think I'm being a little harsh on Andersen, here's how Houston Rockets blog "The Dream Shake" described him on the day he was traded: "David Andersen can do one thing effectively: hit the turnaround jump shot. He is amazing at it. But that's it. Literally, there's nothing else." Well, I know that's what I primarily look for in an NBA center. Who needs post offence, rebounding or shot-blocking? Ugh.
Here's some statistical evidence of Andersen's finesse-oriented game: according to 82games.com, 75 percent of his field goal attempts from last season were jumpshots, which is a higher percentage than any player on this Raptors roster had in the NBA last season. Andrea Bargnani tied with Jose Calderon for the second-highest percentage at 74 percent.
On the defensive end, we should probably expect him to grant his opponents a plethora of and-ones since he averaged 4.8 personal fouls but just 0.5 blocks per 36 minutes last season. Andersen played far more minutes than any of the other players with that toxic statistical combo last season — and there's a good reason for that. While he's not a particularly good rebounder, he did average two more boards per 36 minutes than Bargnani. Of course, that's not saying much.
I'm going to close by attempting to say something nice about David Andersen, because he doesn't seem like a bad bloke — he's arguably the third-best Australian-born big man in NBA history. And did I mention that he has a sweet turnaround jumper? Because he totally does.

To say "delicious" in Hawaiian, you say "ono." And this is a very ono bread, which showcases local ingredients. My neighbor at Kula has dozens of macadamia nut trees in her backyard, and was generous in letting me gather as many of the fallen crop as I wanted. No one warned me that these ono nuts are nearly impossible to crack. They have an extremely hard shell. I resorted to wedging one in a crack of my concrete sidewalk. I then smacked the nut with a small hammer and sent it right through my window! This only made me crave the ono nutmeats more, so I finally perfected a method using a small c-clamp and a larger hammer. I strongly recommend the purchase of already-shelled macadamia nuts.
Substitute equal amounts of papaya for the mango and almonds for the macadamia nuts.

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 Mr. Bill!
Facts about Mr. Bill
- Breed: American Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Mr. Bill's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
This kitty lived on a farm and was being continually attacked by a dog. For his safety, he was surrendered to the Avoca Veterinary Clinic. We are trying to help him find a home. He is lovable and sweet. His eyes are TWO COLORS!! One gold and one a brilliant blue! This tabby and white is purrfect for your family!
Other Pets at Western Iowa's Feral and Homeless Cat Program
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mr. Bill, a Walnut American Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in Walnut, or seeking a American Shorthair cat from a breeder in Walnut.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Walnut 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 Walnut 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 American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Walnut paves the way for another one to be saved.

My logic is failing me. You must use them as regular straight needles and turn for each row, otherwise it is a tube?? Is it because there are so many stitches cast on?? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Kitty, you're right - you knit back & forth on them like you would with straight needles. For me, it seems to help distribute the weight more evenly when you're near the beginning or end of the rows. Also, I have a cat who likes to help me knit, and it's much easier if there isn't a straight needle end waving around in front of her! LOL Donna |
Yes, you knit as you would with strait needles. I use circs for almost everything I knit. No long needle ends to get in the way or caught on chair arms. Also, the cable on the circs help hold the weight of the afghan, instead of all of it being in your hands as you knit the afghan. Tami |
- Posted by sandra_ferguson (My Page) on Tue, Oct 27, 09 at 17:19
I can't imagine knitting an afghan on just plain straight needles...there wouldn't be nearly enough room on it for a whole afghan. I've knitted throws, single and double sized blankets and I use my Denise needles...for the bigger ones I may use all the extensions and make it as big as I can. I'd think the only way to use a plain old straight needle would be to knit the afghan or blanket in strips, from top to bottom, and then sew them together. |
Once I started using circular needles I never went back to straight. That is, except for socks. Then I use a set of 5 needles. The weight of your work is in your lap, instead of pulling at the end of the needles. Moni |

JPMorgan Exec. Sleeps On It, Decides She's Got Better Things To Do Than Hang Out With Acting CFTC Chairman
By Jon ShazarAt some point between late last night and early this morning, it occurred to Blythe Masters that certain obligations might get in the way of chatting about cross-border guidance on rules.
Blythe Masters, JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s commodities head, withdrew from an advisory committee of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission a day after her appointment was disclosed, according to two people with direct knowledge of the decision.
The regulator may include another executive from New York-based JPMorgan on the global markets committee, said one person close to the bank who requested anonymity because the move hasn't been publicly announced. Masters, 44, stepped down because the company's sale of its physical commodities unit will keep her occupied, the person said….
Masters, whose name appeared on a list of committee members on the CFTC's website yesterday, had been scheduled to participate in a Feb. 12 meeting to discuss cross-border guidance on rules. She was invited to the panel by acting Chairman Mark Wetjen, said one of the people. Her name has since been removed from the list.

It would have been fox in a henhouse.
Must have been sobering to see how the Bank of England now faces scrutiny over forex manipulation. Derivatives are probably the next OTC business to be examined by the regulators and definitely they are looking at forex derivatives already.
for some unknown reason, i'd definitely let her regulate my commodities.
– guy who has a thing for cold, bitchy, yet intelligent british broads
Judging by her hand gesture, you might want to reconsider
Two ideas to think about: 1- Bernie Madoff, 2- NASD.
I think she likes to pitch not catch
Sorry to wake you from your wet dream, but unless your commodities include a pair of nice breasts and a labia Blythe would not be in a bit interested in handling.

Our Town Love Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #1
It's like what one of those Middle West poets said: You've got to love life to have life, and you've got to have life to love life…It's what they call a vicious circle (II.26).
Reproduction of life is also the reproduction of love for life.
Quote #2
Yes…people are meant to go through life two by two. 'Tain't natural to be lonesome (II.85).
Mrs. Gibbs argues that companionship is a natural part of life.
Quote #3
I…I'm glad you said it, Emily. I never thought that such a thing was happening to me. I guess it's hard for a fella not to have faults creep into his character (II.203).
Emily and George are compatible because she can see the flaws in his character.

Cypress essential oil is extracted by steam distillation from the twigs of the evergreen Cypress tree. The oil yield is of the order of around 1.5% only. Cypress oil is colorless to pale yellow in color with a mild spicy and masculine odor.
Cypress essential oil has been used since ancient times for various therapeutic purposes.Ā It has excellent antiseptic, astringent, diuretic, hepatic, and sedative properties.
Uses Of Cypress Essential Oil
- Known for its sedative and soothing effect, cypress oil is used for calming and relieving irritation, anger, and stress. It calms stressed brain nerves and provides immediate anxiety relief. For this, vapor therapy should be used, in which a few drops of cypress essential oil are dropped in boiling water and the vapors are inhaled. This is also very beneficial for whooping cough, bronchitis, asthma, and other lungs disorders.
- Cypress oil has great astringent properties and strengthens your teeth and gums. It is also used for preventing hair fall.Ā Regular massage with cypress oil blended with some good carrier oil like jojoba oil or olive oil will also ensure that your skin and muscles stay taut and firm.
- Cypress oil is a wonderful anti spasmodic agent. If you happen to suffer from muscular spasms or spasms of the respiratory system, you can massage the affected area with a cypress oil blend for immediate relief.
- Cypress oil possesses great diuretic properties as well. Therefore, it helps in increasing the frequency of urination, which results in the removal of toxins from the body. It is especially useful in reducing blood pressure and cleansing the kidneys. Increased urination also helps in removing excess fat from the body.
- Since cypress oil has good hepatic properties, it is very beneficial for liver. It maintains proper discharge of bile from the liver and also protects it from infections.
- Cypress oil also has good sudorific properties. A sudorific substance is one that causes sweating. It, therefore, removes toxins, excessive salts, and water from the body through sweating and makes you feel lighter and fresh. It cleans up your skin and protects you from acne and other skin disorders.
- Cypress oil is also known for being a very good vasoconstrictor. It is, therefore, used for the treatment of excessive bleeding, nose bleeds, and heavy menstruation.
Like any other essential oil, you must always consult your physician or an aromatherapy specialist before using the Cypress oil.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Government and hospital officials say a Muslim holiday has turned deadly outside a mosque in northern Afghanistan where a suicide bomber killed at least 35 people and wounded at least 70.
Authorities say the attack came as people were gathering at the mosque to celebrate the Eid al-Adha (eed al-AHD'-hah) and top provincial officials were there, including the governor and the police chief, who were inside the building. The bomber set off his explosives outside and the officials were not hurt, but the casualties included police officers and soldiers.
It appeared to be the deadliest suicide attack in recent months.
The attack today came as Afghan President Hamid Karzai, in a holiday message, urged Taliban insurgents "to stop killing other Afghans."
The United Nations says that Taliban attacks account for the vast majority of civilian casualties in the 11-year war.

Fight For The Frozen Shores
Announcing Operation Cyclone, a campaign expansion for Dust Tactics |
Dust Tactics | Published 20 December 2010 |
A rich mine of VK has been discovered in the subzero wastes of Antarctica, and its direct access to the sea makes it a dangerous new focal point of the war. As the Axis forces fortify their defenses on the icy shores, the Allies plan a swift and daring amphibious assault in the hopes of claiming the enemy position. Who will gain control of this bountiful energy source and the waterways necessary to transport it? And what will this mean for the outcome of the war? It will take monumental courage to defend your prize, or heavy casualties to take it! Prepare for fierce amphibious landings on the frozen tundra of Antarctica... this is Operation Cyclone.
Operation Cyclone is an exciting new campaign expansion for Dust Tactics, the tactical miniatures board game of explosive battlefield combat! Coming later this winter, Operation Cyclone brings the fight from Antarctica's frozen waterways to its icy shores. With an exciting scenario guide including eight new battles, as well as the supplemental rules for artillery, amphibious assaults, and more, Operation Cyclone includes everything you need to expand your Dust Tactics experience! Also included in Operation Cyclone are six new terrain tiles, four ammo crates, four tank traps, nine terrain squares, and two amazing new heroes!
Two New Heroes Enter the Fray
Amphibious Landing terrain tiles allow attacking forces to pour onto the battlefield, while artillery rules bring a whole new dimension to the game. Leading their forces to glory or the grave, two new heroes also enter the fray.
For the allies, Master Sergeant Rosie Donovan is the brilliant engineer who designed the Allies' first combat walker, and her mechanical know-how is a constant asset on the battlefield. Her Tank Head repair skill lets her fix damaged tanks... but don't underestimate her destructive prowess. She has personally adapted her massive bazooka to take down enemy walkers with a single shot!
Meanwhile, the Axis officer Manfred Kreuzer is well respected amongst his peers, having been part of the expedition that first discovered alien technology in the remote caves of Antarctica. This hearty soldier boasts five health, meaning he's able to protect his men longer than any other hero. What's more, his Assault skill and unlimited Panzerfaust give him exceptional tactical flexibility.
Watch for updates on Operation Cyclone in the coming weeks, including an announcement for a premium painted version. Then, be ready when the assault launches later this winter!
Dust Tactics is a tactical miniatures game of brutal combat for 2-4 players. Based on the popular universe created by artist Paolo Parente, Dust Tactics presents an alternate 1940s reality in which alien technology fuels gigantic machines of war, and the world's superpowers clash over rare mineral deposits that could ultimately decide the outcome of WWII.
$40 for this is a ridiculous price point. Funny that since $30 would have been acceptable and I wouldn't have even batted an eye, but $40 is pretty unacceptable when directly compared to similar products (AT-43 Operation frostbite is a good comparison). It has the hallmarks of price gouging.
If this is the sort of content I can come to expect from the expansions and the prices to go with that content, then I think it best to just skip the game entirely.
Poor decision FFG. Bring back the original big box Op Cyclone expansion originally delailed . Two minis and some cardboard for what will probably be £25 RRP in UK doesn't switch me on to this game.
Yep looks like amphibious transport tiles. I like the idea, put them up against the tiles you currently have and you have a amphibious landing. Looking forward to this release.
Ken on Cape heres the Command Squads
$39.95 MSRP isn't too unreasonable seeing as most retailers will be selling this for between $25-$30... I will be buying this for sure. Besides if this was 40k, it would be $100, lol ;)
$39.95? That is way over priced for two figures, a little cardboard, and some plastic pieces we already have. Who is setting these price points? Aliens?
$39.95 is way too over-priced.
I'm shocked that this is at $39.95....
I'm very happy!
Very happy about this!
I think FFG is going to do this differently if you look it says check back in the upcoming weeks for more updates, so I'm assuming all those models are coming out just in different boxes. Like the smaller squad boxes. So I predict there were be more one the models and stuff but they are going to be seperately so we can customise our armies rather than buying all the models. (I want all the models though)
In the back of the main rulebook, there are pics of new walkers and different minis. It also said "see you in artillary strike." This implys thta those miins would be in the expansion. Very missleading IMO.

How many times do you have to keep going to physical therapy before its over? I just dread driving to their office, mostly because my back hurts me too much to drive. Is there a limit on how many times you go for treatment or could this be a never-ending thing? I'm sure my insurance company would have something to say about how many treatments are allowed.
I would like to hear from anyone that has been in physical therapy and how long did you go? Did it help at all or did your symptoms eventually return? |
Follow-Up Postings:
A lot will depend on what the therapy was for. I am assuming that yours is for back problems. Is this after surgery or is it to try to prevent surgery? My back would give me fits when I drove even short distances. Sitting on a small flat pillow made all the difference in the world. The seat just let my behind sag down a little too much, thus tilting my back and increasing the strain. You want your seat to be a flat as possible and the back upright. No curves!! Try it. Can't hurt, might help. |
PB, thanks for the tip on the pillow. Physical therapy is mostly for the arthritis in my neck, as my doctor wants to see if it will help the numbness in my face and it is also for my back. I have a lot of pain in both of my hands and he wanted to see if PT would help this as well, because the tests he did showed I don't have carpal tunnel syndrome. He thinks all my symptoms are coming from the DDD and the arthritis. Since I gave up my job, it has helped a lot not sitting all day. I even get this same numbness in my left foot and if I walk long, it goes to sleep on me. All my problems are on the left side of my body and I believe they are all related to my back. So far I don't see that physical therapy has helped at all. I always come back home in more pain and it takes me days to get over it, and none of my symptoms have diminished or disappeared. I take Motrin 600 for pain and I take Zanaflex at night. I also take Lorcet but it really sends me on a "trip" so I don't take it unless I really need it. I haven't had surgery, I just have a lot of nerve problems. I have DDD and the arthritis in my neck & spine area. The DDD has gotten worse and I had to quit working. This tingling in my face is driving me crazy so I hope he can find the problem. I go back on July 7. |

I went for 8-10 weeks, three times a week, for a frozen shoulder. I hated going because PT *hurts*, but it definitely helped. Before PT, I couldn't life my arm past my head or fasten my bra. |

they've sent me to PT 3 different times, and each time, it made me worse. I went each time for at least 10 trips to give it a good try. Each time was for a different problem. Heel spurs, car accident back/neck pain, then broken foot and back pain from using crutches. I have Fibromyalgia, and I have the tingling like you say - only mine is not in my face, it's in my hands and feet. With excertion, it's in arms and legs. I went through the carpel tunnel tests as well as painful nerve tests in the legs and feet. Nothing was found. When I finally went to a Rheumatologist for the pain of a broken foot that never went away, she said did you know you have fibro? I didn't think so, as I always thought people with that were so disabled they could not work or function - and I do... but she thinks I have had it nearly 30 years, so I have adjusted. I'd look into Fibro if I were you. Many people think they have it - it's kind of the "in" disease I think.... and a lot of Dr's don't understand it fully and diagnose it when they should not. Since PT makes you feel worse for days - that sounds just like a fibro person... plus the tingling and pain. She put me on Topamax for the tingling and it helps with pain too. Since your problems stem from arthritis, why not try going to a Rheumy, since that's what they treat... and they are the best at diagnosing and treating fibro. By the way, I went to a certified massage therapist, who was trained in many types of massage. She corrected the pain from the PT and from the accident that caused the flareup. She has also helped with managing the fibro pain. It seems that people with fibro can't take deep muscle massage, or electric stimulation, and exercise must be taken very very slowly or you will go into a "flare" and be worse, sometimes for a long time. Good luck |
My neurologist is sending me to an orthopedic doctor for evaluation re. the arthritis. He also mentioned a rheumotologist if the orthopedic evaluation didn't work. I have an appt. Wednesday. I am really anxious to go. I hope they don't want to send me back to PT. Joann, my shoulder sounds a lot like the problems you had. It's only my right shoulder. It doesn't hurt as long as I have my arm in a down position, but if I try to raise it, I can't raise my arm all the way unless I grab it by my other hand and help get it raised! If I try to push my arm out to the side, my arm tightens up from the elbow up. I can hear a lot of popping noise when I try to exercise it. I was in the car and tried to reach something from the back seat with this arm and the pain was very sharp. It only lasts for a few minutes and then I have to pull my arm up close to my body as this helps the pain. As far as the DDD goes, I think I will have to live with this for the rest of my life. My neurologist told me DDD is the same as arthritis, so I have arthritis in my spine and neck and maybe shoulder? Daylily, I will look into fibro. and do some reading on the subject. I am going to ask this orthopedist what could be causing this facial numbness, as my neurologist could not find the answer. |

Downsouth - See a doctor if you suspect frozen shoulder. Without treatment, it can become permanent. |

For small independent practices seeking a cost-effective, fully integrated solution to both improve patient care and streamline practice workflow, industry leader McKesson offers their latest system, McKesson Practice Choice.
McKesson Practice Choice is a complete solution that includes electronic health record (EHR), medical billing and patient scheduling. This web-based system features an attractive, user-friendly interface and provides busy medical offices anytime, anywhere access. It's really well suited for small to mid-sized practices with less than 10 physicians in a number of primary care specialties.
McKesson Practice Choice is ONC-ATCB certified for meaningful use and includes built-in Critical Quality Measures that let providers review their practice to ensure the office is meeting the right requirements. Smart Note Technology is also built into the system, giving physicians the ability to complete a progress note and then fill in the remaining sections automatically, all from a single screen.
Physicians and office staff use simple button navigation to move through all areas of the software, from clinical documents to patient schedules to billing. This ensures that patients move smoothly through their visits and their updated records can be accessed at anytime throughout the appointment. There's also the ability to connect to health information exchanges (HIEs) to improve collaboration even further.
McKesson Practice Choice is a great option to review if you're a small medical practice looking to create a more efficient, profitable practice without sacrificing patient care.

There is a learning curve that one must go through in order to be comfortable with the program. The McKesson rep that assisted me before I went live was very patient. She was accessible to me even when we didn't have a session scheduled. She was a great instructor.
I wish that certain aspects of the product (e.g. - patient records, schedule) were accessible on a tablet or a mobile device.
The program is wonderful because it incorporates the different aspects of a practice: the schedule, accounts receivable, and the EMR.
There is no support through the VAR after business hours or on the weekend. I have had to call McKesson when the VAR was closed, and the McKesson support staff was happy to assist me.
I like the accessibility. I am able to access patient records and my schedule from anywhere.
I dislike that I have to go through a VAR instead of dealing with McKesson personally.
Look seriously at this program. McKesson seems committed to improving the program. There is an update almost every month that helps to improve the program.

If you are somewhat computer savvy and have a knowledge of insurance billing protocol, the product will make sense to you.
It serves our office needs and meets EMR guidelines.
It serves our office needs and meets EMR guidelines.
The McKesson staff has always had courteous and friendly staff with a demeanor to help.
The support mechanism for the staff is one of the most gracious and kind - not to mention intelligent, and they are open to input from product users.
I was hoping the product would remain simplistic in nature, as we are a one-physician office and hold paper charts, but I am a lone wolf.
If feasible, visit an office using the product or sit in on a webinar showing its usability.

We are a small Internal Medicine practice with one doctor. We have been using Practice Choice for a year now and have loved it. It is very easy to use and very customizable to our practice. The implementation was very personal and tailored to our office workflow. Our implementation specialist worked with us to make sure that we understood how to use the system and all the ways that we could customize the notes to meet our needs.
I have really loved the customer support from the McKesson team. They are always so pleasant to speak with and work to resolve any issues or questions we might have right away. They also really listen to what practices say and take our input to heart, trying to better the system all the time with the monthly updates.
The staff at McKesson has made the transition to a new system painless and easy. Our office workflow is also streamlined and we are able to manage our patients betters. Having an integrated system has meant having all the information at the tip of our fingers when a patient calls or comes in. We are able to offer a higher quality of care because we are not having to spend time flipping through paper charts to find past labs, radiology, or immunization records. I can't say enough about the system and the customer support. I would highly recommend this system to anyone looking to get an EHR!

We have been using this cloud based product, along with Relay Healty (prescribing module), for 2 months and find its not as reliable as it states. It has the ability to be a great product, but Practice Choice and Relay Health are busy pointing the finger at who's fault it is that your notes were lost, or your system went down, or you are unable to get refill requests through the online system.
Patients will not tolerate this "sorry, our system is down routine" on an hourly basis! When we complain about how often we encounter errors and get knocked out of Practice Choice, we are reminded of how unsteady the Internet can be and it's just something you have to "adapt" to when working with cloud based products. When I connect to Lytec, for billing or adding new patients, I use the Internet to connect to my server. But I'm not constantly being kicked off the server because of the instability of the Internet. We are a family practice office, with two locations, and I have used Lytec (also a McKesson product) for 15 years. Practice Choice is the EHR module that is to "talk" to Lytec. As of today, it is sharing very little information!
Implementation has been difficult! Instead of a team of people stating "before you go live let's clean up your Lytec junk and move forward", they go live and just let the problems begin. I have to go through our VARS in order to talk with anyone at McKesson to voice a concern. Their customer service is not always professional. I pray daily I have not made a mistake going with this product.

Do you have a recipe like the one at Burger King? I haven't tasted it yet but it looks yummy. The one's I found on the internet don't look like it. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Why don't you go eat one, maybe you can figure it out from the taste and texture. It's probably a standard frozen cream pie with peppermint and peppermint patties in it. There's probably a standard recipe that the manufacturer uses and inserts the appropriate taste - peanut butter cups, peppermint patties, etc, at the request of their customers. There are plenty of links for a coupon for a free pie, on the internet. |

JACKSON, Wyo. — Biologists looking for the elusive fisher, a large cousin of the weasel, have come up empty-handed in the Wyoming neck of the Northern Rockies.
Habitat models predict that the fisher's range extends well into Teton and Park counties, and south to the very northwest tip of Fremont County. That caused the Wyoming Game and Fish Department to lead a search for the mustelid, which was recently, but is no longer, a candidate for protection under the Endangered Species Act.
"We didn't find any (fishers)," Game and Fish nongame biologist Bob Oakleaf said. "What we did find is (pine) marten everywhere."
Using a $23,000 state wildlife grant, Game and Fish personnel last year searched the Sunlight Basin, near the Beartooth Mountains, just to the east of Yellowstone National Park. In January 1995, a fisher was photographed by a remote camera near this area Remote cameras are the primary method used to find the critters.
Game and Fish isn't quite sure where it will spend a $31,500 wild life grant to try to find the fisher this year, Oakleaf said. The North Fork of the Shoshone River near Cody is a possibility, he said, but a search of Teton County isn't being considered.
Game and Fish's 2010 "Wyoming State Wildlife Action plan" suggests that Teton County south to about Jackson Lake and Buffalo Valley is fisher habitat. The state's plan states that "distribution is suspected to be restricted" and that the species has a spotty distribution in Wyoming.
"Although sightings of the fisher are reported in most mountain ranges," the Game and Fish document said, "few documented records exist for Wyoming and are limited to the extreme northwestern part of the state."
There have been only three or four reports of a fisher in Wyoming, and it's been about a decade since the last sighting, Oakleaf said.
"There was one individual animal collected," he said. "It was found in a trap in the Big Horns in the '60s."
Ranging in weight from about 4 to 13 pounds, fishers are light brown to blackish-brown with a long body, short legs and a long bushy tail.
They look much like a weasel, mink or pine marten and are inhabitants of old growth forests.
After reviewing its status across the Northern Rockies in 2010 and 2011, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concluded fishers don't warrant Endangered Species Act protections in Idaho, Montana or Wyoming. A petition filed by four environmental groups, including the Center for Biological Diversity, seeking to list Northern Rockies fishers as a "distinct population segment," prompted the review.
Based on trapping data in Montana, fishers in the Northern Rockies are rarer than lynx and wolverine, both of which are afforded federal protections. They are considered the rarest mammalian carnivore in the ecosystem.
Unlike lynx and wolverines, however, in other parts of the country, including the Great Lakes Region and Northeast, fishers are common and trapped regularly.
It's not well understood why fishers don't appear to be inhabiting Wyoming, Oakleaf said.
"Sometimes we don't know what the factors are that are limiting the range of a species," he said. "Sometimes we can figure it out and sometimes not."
Factors such as over-trapping, timber harvesting and habitat fragmentation are considered the historic catalysts for the near elimination of fishers in the Northern Rockies.

A UK retailer has pledged to stop selling Activision games after a dispute over stock allocation for the upcoming Call of Duty: Ghosts.
ShopTo, a specialist online retailer in the UK, is unhappy with Activision refusing to allow it to dispatch Call of Duty games more than a day in advance, which the retailer claims upsets customers by forcing the copies to arrive through the letterbox days after launch.
Speaking to Eurogamer, ShopTo CEO Igor Cipolletta said that "Activision's policy of only allowing e-tailers to dispatch one day before release date effectively destroys an e-tailer's pre-order campaign," adding that "many deliveries inevitably arrive post-release date."
"This has the undesired effect of previously loyal and satisfied customers thinking that, if we can't 'get it right' for one of the biggest games of the year, why should they trust us with any future orders?"
"Their friends and acquaintances, by word of mouth and social media, (despite possibly not having ever ordered from us), would see us (and possibly e-tailers as a whole) as unreliable. This despite all the time and hard work my team and the myriad of other publishers put into other titles during the year."
"Of course this Activision policy is not for every title," continued Cipolletta, "but due to the volume and fever pitch Call of Duty seems to generate (both positive and negative), it causes the most damage to us."
Call of Duty: Ghosts is not listed on ShopTo's website at time of writing, and neither is Activision's upcoming titles Deadpool and Skylanders Swap Force. Previously released Activision games are still being sold.
Activision is unlikely to yield and allow ShopTo dispatch Call of Duty: Ghosts any earlier, according to Eurogamer's report, and the publisher is frustrated by online retailers breaking the street date of its games. Last November UK retailer SimplyGames publicly pledged to ship out early copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops II the weekend before the game was released.
Cipolletta, who says Activision's decision to launch Call of Duty games on Tuesday forces online retailers to pay staff extra to work the previous weekend, concluded by blasting Activision for its retailing decisions for the Call of Duty series especially and has called its attempt to sell the games in previous years a "complete failure".
"Unfortunately," said Cipolletta, "our experience with the Call Of Duty series in the past four years is that our campaigns have been extremely difficult to engender a supportable level of customer satisfaction and in regards to profit, a complete failure".
Call of Duty: Ghosts will be released for current and next-generation platforms later this year, though presumably not at ShopTo. Activision will show off the first gameplay footage of the game as Microsoft debuts its next-generation Xbox on May 21.

Top 10 things to include for your next tailgate
What do you bring to tailgate? Your team's gear? Your favorite recipe? Maybe it's time to step your cookout game with - more games. Here are 10 suggestions of things you can include to step up your tailgating this weekend.
3 of 11 |
2. Something Warm to Drink
The official start of fall is this weekend, and our tailgates will likely get a little bit chillier as the football season goes on, so be sure to pack a couple of beverages that will wake you up, or at least keep your hands warm.
You can pack your own caraffe of coffee and hot chocolate, or pick up "coffee travelers" of either beverage at a place like Starbucks.
