Playing With Fire: Seeing "Noncompliance" In A New Light - page 2

1Sep 7, '13 by LadyFree28, BSN, RNGreat article Viva!!! When's that blog coming???
I used to get uncomfortable with anyone using "non compliant" I just GAGGED typing it!!
I don't recall using the word in my career; because of my clinical rotations at area hospitals in my area, our instructors drilled to NEVER use "non compliance" as a term at all; in my PN and my BSN program.
As one who knows how to be that "horrible pt"that can keep my fellow peer in their toes when they see that I am a nurse, and state it like "I should understand", I give them a lesson that they never forget an let them have it!
But I digress.
When I deal with me, as a patient, it has taken me YEARS to not toe near the heat.
When you have a doctor state "I know you don't like pills" and recall yourself saying that to a patient, you know you are in IT, at least I know.VivaLasViejas likes this. -
1Sep 8, '13 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideIt's a few days after going back on my regular AP dose, and all is well once more. I even had a co-worker tell me today how much she enjoys working with me, because I figure things out on my own (apparently a couple of the other admissions nurses don't have that ability) and I don't freak out when something goes sideways. Oh, if she only knew......well, she does because everybody in the building knows I'm bipolar, but she said she'd never have guessed that about me otherwise. Now THAT is some good medication, folks. I won't be messing with it anytime soon!pinkiepieRN likes this.

I wish Big Pharma wouldn't charge so much for a large, chalky, nasty tasting thing that is supposed to help you! I'd like you to take them, but you're an adult and I can't force you to take it."

1Sep 12, '13 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideAs I was leaving the pharmacy today with my $165/mo. Geodon capsules (which unfortunately for my wallet, have turned out to be the magic glue that holds Viva together), I got to thinking about this little essay again and wondering how much "noncompliance" is due to the sheer expense of some drugs.
Take this little blue-and-gray pill, which consists of a chemical powder packed into a gelcap. It probably costs pennies to make, and yet I pay over $5 each for the generic version. I don't even want to THINK about what the brand-name version costs! Unfortunately, it's one of those meds that I just can't skip when money's tight (and when isn't it these days?), so I sacrifice something else, like the trash bill or some desperately needed household item, in order to pay for this medication.
But at least I have the option to choose sanity over a new toaster; there are millions of people who can't afford medication AT ALL no matter how much they need it. There are too few programs to help them, and doctors often don't even know that the programs exist, so they don't recommend them to their patients who need it. It's also hard on peoples' dignity to tell their physician that they can't afford the meds he or she has prescribed for them.....just another way to get slapped with the label of "noncompliant".

1Sep 18, '13 by meljonumdQuote from VivaLasViejasThis is the one that breaks my heart. I work on the "stroke floor" and I naturally see a lot of people come in with strokes because they couldn't afford their meds for a while.

I personally understand the horrible choice it is some months too: co-pay or gas/food. Forget about the utilities (those turn off notices are just flirting messages! lol).
However, working in the job that I do, I make the choice to make my health a priority.VivaLasViejas likes this. -

1Sep 21, '13 by VivaLasViejas, ASN, RN GuideQuote from Steve123Under normal circumstances, I would agree with you. Many of the elderly in this country are WAY overmedicated, IMHO. I pass meds sometimes in a nursing home, and it's ridiculous---not only 10+ prescriptions but as many as a dozen supplements, vitamins etc. And for what purpose? Are we going to cure them with CoQ10? No wonder so many of them balk at their morning cup of pills---we're overwhelming them with meds, and a lot of them are unnecessary.My 70 y.o. neighbor was in miserable condition a few years ago when he made a very smart decision. He stopped taking all his meds. His health has improved since a lot. I beleave that the majority of elder-lies who are on 10 + meds will do much better if they stop taking all that garbage.
OTOH, there are middle-aged and older people who need multiple medications to control a hard-to-manage condition. I'm pushing 55 and am on four different blood-pressure pills (although I've been able to cut way back on the doses since I've lost 60+ lbs.), fish oil, vitamin D, metformin, and melatonin as well as four separate kinds of "crazy pills". Well, without the vast majority of those, I'd be a hot mess! And anyone who takes him/herself off certain kinds of medication without the supervision of a doctor or NP is risking big trouble.
Your neighbor was lucky. I'm glad he's doing well.msbprn likes this.

As a former CM one of the things that made working at Disney was creating those magical moments for guests. You never knew what was going on in someones life when speaking with them and most of the time never knew it when you created a bit of that magic, unless a guest filled out one of those cards and turned it in to let you know. I thought it would be cool to see what people's best magic moments were so I thought I would start it off from the other side of the ball and share 2 moments that were magical to me because I was allowed to take a part in making them happen. My favorite one started as a simple phone call a parent was making to get a reservation ( I worked in Central Reservations ) it was Christmas time and there was literally no rooms to be had on property for the dates she wanted, well she started crying on the phone and I slowly got her story out of her, her 7 yr old son had terminal cancer, he literally had only a6 months or so to live and the one thing he wanted was to come to Disney at Christmas before he was too sick to do anything else. I knew that we always have a few rooms stashed that the computers won't let us book that aren't released until closer to a date, and I knew that we have a special department that works with "Make a Wish" kids and the such, one of my friends was on that team. So long story short I asked her if she would be willing to hold for a minute, or give me her number to call her back, that I was going to sprinkle some pixie dust on my computer and that sometimes magical things happen when you did that, she held on while I called my friend and basically handed this woman over to her after explaining what was going on. We not only found her a room, we comped theie entire stay tickets and all and put them up in the apartment in the Castle during their stay. I can't tell you what that did for me.:yahoo:
My second bit of magic actually made it into Eyes and Ears although the woman never even knew we were cast members, a few friends and I were performing in the cast choir at the candlelight processional in EPCOT and decided to buddy up and rent a few rooms for a couple of days and play in the parks in between the performances we were scheduled for, well anyway we were on the monorail leaving the MK and a little girl was just sokeyed up and inconsolably crying, it was their last day and they were going back to the Grand Floridian, it was late and the little one was tired, so I asked what her favorite Disney songs were and the Mom told us she loved Zip-a dee-do-dah and a few others well my friends and I got everyone on the monorail car singing and soon the tears were gone and she was singing with us, we had a great time and all went back to our rooms singing, thinking no more about it until the next issue of Eyes and Ears, the Mom had written in and said that even though we weren't wearing our badges only CM's would do something like that and it had been the highlite of their trip, no one else ever knew but the circle of friends who were there but it was very special for us too.

Many milfs would call nude photography a girlfriendal hobby, but a large number of milfs may not know the ins and outs of getting the best picture. As with any other hobby, you need about the right way to make a photo if you want to get the best shots are educated. This erotic story contains a number of tips on nude photography that will help you, will do just that.
If you take a photo of someone, make sure that you are close to them to maximize the quality of information on her face. This is very important as you want to capture every aspect of their expression to help to make the nude photos you take sign.
Select the object to be photographed. The perfect photo is like a small window focused in the selection of the details of your subject appear to be. Try not to show too much. If you are trying to capture an impression, take a few nude photos instead of just one image that sing no detail or focus.
Make sure you hold the camera correctly. Holding the camera correctly reduces the chance that an inopportune movement ruins your shot. Hold the camera with your arms to your naked body and the palm in the vicinity of the camera, not the camera to fall or prevent shaking.
If you have trouble holding the camera straight, buy a tripod. A tripod will help a long way to go to keep your camera in position so you can focus on other variables except balance. Tripods work hot if you are in the desert or on an uneven terrain.
As stated in the beginning of this erotic story, the difference between nude photography and sexy nude photography is a matter of education. If you know the right way to take a picture, you are more likely to be shots that you really want. Apply the advice from this erotic story and you will be on your way to decide which images of which you always dreamed.

The most common doneness test for custard pies is to insert a table knife about an inch from the center of the pie. If it comes out clean, the pie is done, Or try the jiggle test. Gently shake the pie plate. If the center of the pie slightly jiggles, it's done. As it cools, the residual heat in the filling will finish baking the center.

For the past month, Boys and Girls Clubs of Yellowstone County, Billings Public Schools and the 13th Judicial District Office of Juvenile Probation have been quietly running a program designed to provide a supportive environment for middle school students on long-term suspension.
On Monday, the clubs, the school district and Youth Court Services publicly announced the clubs' inclusion in the Frameworks Education Program as an avenue to provide afternoon programs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"It's part of our ongoing effort to find ways to help the kids who need to have it the most," said Brian Dennis, the clubs' chief professional officer.
Students suspended from middle school already attend programs at the Lincoln Center from 8 a.m. from 11 a.m. The program at the clubs' Bair Family Clubhouse, 505 Orchard Lane, has been running since mid-November and acts as an extension of those efforts.
Students in the program go through expanded courses such as Money Matters, which teaches them finance and budgeting skills; cooking classes and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) projects and experiments.
"The club atmosphere is exactly what we were looking for," said Tamra Covington, SD2's administrator for the Frameworks program. "We don't always have enough time to cover some of these projects, like in STEM, as we'd like."
The program also aims to ease the transition for the students back into school once their suspension ends and, hopefully, prevent them from repeating the behavior that got them into trouble in the first place.
Youth Court Services funds the program. Tara Moore, director of Youth Court Services, said that the court and SD2 identified the need early on for an afternoon program.
She said her office often sees the same students over and over and that prevention programs, such as Frameworks, can help.
"Hopefully, we don't see them again," she said. "The earlier that we can get to them, the more we can help. We want to catch the at-risk kids before we see them again."
Staffers with Boys and Girls Clubs of Yellowstone County also talked about a new program called Family PLUS Nights designed to foster discussion between school officials, teens and their parents.
Planned generally for the second Thursday of each month, the meetings incorporate entertaining competitions or activities with information and discussion.
For example, the Jan. 10 night combines a cooking competition pitting teens versus parents with nutrition education.
Tabith Kraack, the clubs' director of teen services, said that meetings between parents, teens and educators can often be stressful and contentious and they wanted to provide an alternative.
"We're providing a neutral territory," she said. "We can start to build some of those relationships."

Beethoven Symphonies Nos 4 & 8
Disc of the Month
Performance ***** Sound ***** BBC Music Magazine
'Simply masterful Beethoven', Chicago Tribune
Coming between two of Beethoven's most famous symphonies the Fourth Symphony can seem a relatively lightweight and cheerful work. Written for Count Franz von Oppersdorff, who wanted a symphony similar in vein to the Second Symphony it is a brusque and enjoyable work. Beethoven's Eighth Symphony sees him in playful mood. Featuring humorous twists and turns and relatively brief movements, including the shortest movement of any of his symphonies, it is a light hearted work.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And how dare you take each other to court! When you think you have been wronged, does it make any sense to go before a court that knows nothing of God's ways instead of a family of Christians? | 1 If any of you has a dispute with another, dare he take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the saints? |
2 The day is coming when the world is going to stand before a jury made up of Christians. If someday you are going to rule on the world's fate, wouldn't it be a good idea to practice on some of these smaller cases? | 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? |
3 Why, we're even going to judge angels! So why not these everyday affairs? | 3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! |
4 As these disagreements and wrongs surface, why would you ever entrust them to the judgment of people you don't trust in any other way? | 4 Therefore, if you have disputes about such matters, appoint as judges even men of little account in the church! |
5 I say this as bluntly as I can to wake you up to the stupidity of what you're doing. Is it possible that there isn't one levelheaded person among you who can make fair decisions when disagreements and disputes come up? I don't believe it. | 5 I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute between believers? |
6 And here you are taking each other to court before people who don't even believe in God! How can they render justice if they don't believe in the God of justice? | 6 But instead, one brother goes to law against another--and this in front of unbelievers! |
7 These court cases are an ugly blot on your community. Wouldn't it be far better to just take it, to let yourselves be wronged and forget it? | 7 The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? |
8 All you're doing is providing fuel for more wrong, more injustice, bringing more hurt to the people of your own spiritual family. | 8 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers. |
9 Don't you realize that this is not the way to live? Unjust people who don't care about God will not be joining in his kingdom. Those who use and abuse each other, use and abuse sex, | 9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders |
10 use and abuse the earth and everything in it, don't qualify as citizens in God's kingdom. | 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. |
11 A number of you know from experience what I'm talking about, for not so long ago you were on that list. Since then, you've been cleaned up and given a fresh start by Jesus, our Master, our Messiah, and by our God present in us, the Spirit. | 11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. |
12 Just because something is technically legal doesn't mean that it's spiritually appropriate. If I went around doing whatever I thought I could get by with, I'd be a slave to my whims. | 12 "Everything is permissible for me"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"--but I will not be mastered by anything. |
13 You know the old saying, "First you eat to live, and then you live to eat"? Well, it may be true that the body is only a temporary thing, but that's no excuse for stuffing your body with food, or indulging it with sex. Since the Master honors you with a body, honor him with your body! | 13 "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"--but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. |
14 God honored the Master's body by raising it from the grave. He'll treat yours with the same resurrection power. | 14 By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. |
15 Until that time, remember that your bodies are created with the same dignity as the Master's body. You wouldn't take the Master's body off to a whorehouse, would you? I should hope not. | 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! |
16 There's more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, "The two become one." | 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." |
17 Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever - the kind of sex that can never "become one." | 17 But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit. |
18 There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for "becoming one" with another. | 18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. |
19 Or didn't you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don't you see that you can't live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. | 19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; |
20 God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body. | 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. |

on October 21, 2008Doris Lessing is known for rocking—rocking as a fantastic and prolific
writer, and as a person. The Times featured her in their "A Life in the Day"
column this weekend, and here are some of the gems from it. She's
honest and direct, and even when she's not being particularly "happy,"
she's still optimistic, and inspiring.
"This week I was told I have a wonderful complexion and shiny eyes. I
put that down to indignation at how I feel! I have no energy any more.
It's intolerable, especially when I think of how I used to be."
"The fact is that ever since I won the Nobel, all I do is talk—whether I know anything about the subject or not."
"It's lovely to have money to give away—that's the bonus of winning
the Nobel. I support Oxfam, Shelter and Centrepoint. I've also got a
fondness for a local cat-and-dog home and an organisation to help
writers. I was much too proud to write begging letters when I was
broke. Miraculously, two people I'd never met said they'd heard I was
hard up and enclosed some money. They were communists and told me that
when I had enough I should pass on the money to somebody else who
needed it. I've been doing it ever since."

Environmental Leadership / Green Sanctuary
We are an accredited Green Sanctuary congregation. But our work has just begun.
The Seventh Principle of our UU faith affirms our "respect for the interdependent web of existence, of which we are a part." The Environmental Leadership Team ("ELT") is committed to providing leadership for this congregation in translating this principle into individual and community action.
We 'honor all beings" and work for a greater understanding and appreciation of how we are interconnected with the natural world. We believe that how and where we live, work, play, and pray impact that world and all of its inhabitants, now and for future generations of all beings.
ELT members: Peter Lowitt and Chris Randall (Co-Chairs), Bob Andrews, Berni Jenkins, Mike Jacobs, Bob Van Dyke, Topher Buck and Debbie Barr.
First Parish is a Green Sanctuary. On June 14, 2009 the congregation of this church formally voted to act as a UUA Green Sanctuary and adopted the following statement:
"First Parish in Concord pledges our personal and congregational commitment to live and act as a Green Sanctuary: 1) to incorporate the Seventh Principle values and practices into our worship services, celebrations, religious education programs, church operations, and personal lives; 2) to live lightly on the Earth and strive to continually improve our environmental impact; 3) to affirm and promote programs to raise awareness of human behaviors that affect the health and sustainability of the living Earth."
Shortly after this statement was adopted, First Parish was accredited by the UUA as Green Sanctuary.
The First Parish in Concord Religious Education program creates a tradition of environmental activism!· The 7th Grade "Art in Action" program this fall included creating the clothesline currently on display in front of the church on the Lexington Road.· This is a great reminder to all as they drive by that of the wide variety of ways to reduce our footprint on the earth. Thanks to Director of Religious Education Pam Howell for creating this opportunity. |
Reaccreditation Efforts
The Environmental Leadership Team (ELT) of First Parish is beginning the UUA's Green Sanctuary reaccreditation process, which is required every four to five years. As part of this process, the ELT team will work with the First Parish staff and congregation to assess how and how well we have met the goals of our Green Sanctuary program. We will then focus on developing a new action plan to build upon, and perhaps go beyond, our previous achievements. This requires concrete plans for each of the following areas:
- Sustainable living (two projects): How do we, as a congregation, consider our impact on the environment and all living beings, current and future, in all of our congregational activities?
- Worship and Celebration: Are environmental topics and themes consistently and repeatedly incorporated into our Sunday morning services?
- Religious Education: What are our children learning about how to value, protect , and preserve the natural environment?
- Environmental Justice: How do we reach out into the world to advocate for a fair and equitable approach to protecting the environment?
The UUA reaccreditation process calls for the ELT to seek input from the congregation to generate these projects; solicit feedback on them from UUA's Green Sanctuary Review Team; revise the plan based on this input; complete the required on-line forms in order to get formal reaccreditation status; and then celebrate the occasion with the Congregation.
The ELT seeks to integrate sustainability into all aspects of congregational life. The team is advisory in nature and is available to assist congregants, committees and affiliates of FPC as we all work together to create a more harmonious, nurturing and sustainable First Parish.

February 9, 2004
By The AVweb Editorial Staff
This issue of AVweb's AVflash is brought to you by ... Pilot Insurance Center (PIC)NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION: STOP PAYING MORE THAN NON-PILOTS FOR THE SAME LIFE INSURANCE POLICY |
While the NTSB has yet to issue its final report on why American Airlines Flight 587 crashed in New York in November 2001 after its vertical tail surface broke off, killing 265 people, the board recently released a report by an aeronautical engineer that suggests the design of the Airbus A300-600's flight-control system could have played a role in the accident. The report, by Prof. Ronald Hess of the University of California at Davis, focuses on whether pilot-induced oscillations (PIOs), resulting from control-system characteristics, could have been a factor in the crash. Hess cites examples to show that the control sensitivity of an aircraft can have a direct impact on the extent to which it is prone to PIOs. He also notes that the term "pilot-induced oscillation" can be misleading -- PIOs are not the result of poor piloting skills, but result from control-system characteristics. If the NTSB cites the jet's design in its findings, it could affect the legal battle between American and Airbus over which company should pay damages in lawsuits filed by victims' families, USA Today said on Thursday.
In his report, Hess notes that the "pedal/rudder sensitivity of the A300-600 at the airspeed at which the AA 587 accident occurred is the highest of all comparative transport aircraft." For example, compared to the Boeing 767, the A300-600 pedal/rudder sensitivity is seven times greater, and it is 10 times greater than the preceding models in the Airbus series, the A300-600B2 and B4, Hess reports. "The sensitive nature of the rudder/pedal system is a plausible candidate for a control system property conducive to a PIO," the report says. "One has a very powerful aerodynamic surface ... activated by one of the most powerful muscles in the human body, commanding a pedal/rudder system that is considerably more sensitive than that of any comparable aircraft," the report says. The report is still under consideration by the NTSB. "It's [Hess's] opinion. It's not the board's opinion at this point," NTSB spokesman Ted Lopatkiewicz told Reuters last week. Hess elaborates that rudder pedals are operated by a pilot's strong leg muscles -- capable of exerting over 400 pounds of force -- and he says those muscles lack the sensitivity to accurately command relatively small forces.
A response from the French Air Accident Investigation Bureau (BEA) questions Hess's conclusions. The BEA disagrees with some of Hess's assertions and says some of his data is inadequate. The Hess report does, however, "provide a springboard for questions that may lead to an understanding of this event," the BEA concludes. Airbus officials also have defended the rudder system, noting that Airbus models have flown for millions of hours without rudder pressure being an issue. The NTSB's final report is expected this spring.
In recent weeks, the MD-80 fleet worldwide has been hampered by reports of engine cracks. In Japan last month, 17 of the airliners were grounded after engines of two aircraft vibrated, and the flights were aborted. According to CBS news, Chicago, American Airlines discovered similar cracks in engines on some of its MD-80 planes. Other reports declare all U.S. MD-80 aircraft safe in this regard. However, "Routine airline maintenance procedures don't usually ... reveal cracks of this nature," Mary Frances, with Americans maintenance program, told CBS news.
During a test flight in 1980, a McDonnell-Douglas DC-9-80 (a precursor of the MD-80) blew its nose wheel tires and broke its tail off. The intended test called for a rate of descent at touchdown close to 700 fpm coupled with strong back pressure 0.5 seconds after landing, plus full braking. The fuselage flexed and failed. The purpose of the test was to determine the horizontal distance required to land and bring the aircraft to a full stop, according to the NTSB report on the incident. On approach, the pilot failed to stabilize the descent and touched down at a rate that exceeded the structural limits of the aircraft, the NTSB said. The pilot of the tail-less, nose wheel-less aircraft used main wheel braking and (because the engines survived) reverse thrust to stop the aircraft. The report details that the extremely narrow performance range that would allow the pilots to fly the profile safely left an inadequate margin of safety, and suggested that the test procedure should be reviewed. The aircraft was on a certification flight at Edwards Air Force Base in California. One engineer on board suffered a broken ankle in the accident, but the other six crew members were unhurt.

AEROSANCE PowerLink© FADEC APPLICATIONS GROW |
An ABC affiliate TV station in New York City, apparently unaware of the bashing unleashed by the GA community upon CBS after that network aired a segment critical of security at small airports, took its own stab at the issue last Thursday. WABC-TV ran a story based on its "months-long Eyewitness News investigation" headlined "Security Practically Nonexistent at Many Small Airports." The story begins: "Call it a case of airport insecurity. Open gates, no guards, no fences, airplanes within easy reach." Reporters visited 15 of the more than 100 small airports within 75 miles of midtown Manhattan. At some of these airports, which the report doesn't identify, reporters say they found fencing in disrepair, and at least one airport they were able to drive right up to hangars full of airplanes without being stopped or questioned by anyone. The station also reported that four small aircraft have been stolen in the area since 9/11. "Homeland Security requires no central reporting of small aircraft when stolen," the report says. The story does feature one quote from AOPA President Phil "Bouyer," complaining that nobody has been forthcoming with $40 billion to fence in every GA field in the country: "Where in the world is that money coming from?" And the reporters did find one field, in Linden, N.J., with multiple layers of security -- cameras, door alarms, key access codes. "This airport is more secure than most prisons," according to the story. The report concludes: "Experts say these airports need to move more quickly now that security has been tightened at the nation's large commercial airports." Except, of course, when it hasn't been tightened ... see the story below regarding an attempted stowaway on a Delta flight, for example.
The WABC story did mention that perhaps a small aircraft is no more dangerous than a truck or a car packed with explosives. Yet some of the "porous" airports housed larger charter planes, WABC said. And the report noted that the Department of Homeland Security has made recommendations for improvements at small airports, but it has issued "virtually no security requirements for general aviation." Of course that failure to issue "requirements" could tie in with the reluctance to find billions of dollars to implement them. In fact, despite the lack of requirements, extensive security precautions have been implemented at thousands of GA airports nationwide, and that trend is likely to continue. For example, the FAA requires that pilots carry a photo ID, the TSA now must approve flights of foreign-registered GA aircraft into the U.S., the TSA has instituted new security procedures for charter operations involving aircraft weighing more than 12,500 pounds, and background checks are required for some students. The TSA in December released a GA Working Group study on airport security, and that report's recommendations are likely to start having an effect this year.
The implied but unarticulated subtext of the WABC story, as well as the recent CBS network report, is that small airports and small airplanes are lacking in intrinsic value to society, and thus present an unnecessary threat. Yet a tragic story from Hawaii last week showed that people do value the services based at these kind of airports -- after an air ambulance crashed, killing the pilot and two paramedics, the crew members were widely hailed as heroes. The thousands of small airports across the country provide a base for such critical services -- firefighters and search-and-rescue units, police and news helicopters, ambulances and cargo planes -- which we've yet to see mentioned by any of these "airport insecurity" reports.
If you haven't yet had a chance to visit the Smithsonian's new Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles Airport, in Virginia, now you can view a few historic aircraft and cockpits in detail on the Internet. The cockpits of the Concorde, the Boeing 307 Stratoliner, the SR-71 Blackbird and more can be viewed in seamless, intricate detail from any vantage point. Exterior shots of the J-3 Cub and a Monocoupe 110 can be rotated to view the airplane from either side, front or back, and anywhere in between. The high-resolution digital photos were shot last year as the aircraft were moved into the new facility, and before they were put on exhibit, a rare opportunity existed to access the aircraft before they become inaccessible. More than 100 aircraft and spacecraft were photographed during the first phase of this project, and more are planned. About a dozen of the images are now posted at the National Air and Space Museum's Web site. Viewing the images requires Quick Time software, which is available free on the Internet.
In a nifty new service for pilots, a quick toll-free phone call can now connect you to any AWOS in the U.S. -- if you don't mind having to listen to a short advertisement before you get to the weather. The service, aptly called "anyAWOS," is a new product offered by Mackinac Software. One of the co-creators of the system, Bill McUmber, told AVweb: "Although my company is a software company, I am an active IFR pilot and thought it would be useful to be able to check conditions on the fly -- hence this system." After dialing the toll-free number (877-any-AWOS, or 877-269-2967), callers can enter any three-digit airport ID and -- after choosing from a list of possible matches, and listening to a word from their sponsors -- they will be connected to that airport's AWOS or ATIS. For those times when you have already received a briefing and just want an update on the current conditions before departure, this is easier than looking up the AWOS/ATIS phone number. In a news release, the company says the service allows pilots to easily check actual, right-now weather conditions at intermediate and destination airports while en route, or anytime -- for example, checking downstream conditions on the ramp during a gas stop. "We just announced this yesterday, and we are absolutely amazed that the call volume is ramping up already," McUmber said on Friday.
A modified Gulfstream II flying as a Shuttle Training Aircraft for NASA was 13,000 feet above Florida recently when parts of its thrust reverser went missing and splashed into the Banana River. The reversers are part of a retrofit that helps the GII mimic the Shuttle's steep descent profile. An astronaut and two pilots were on board when the parts fell off in early December, and the crew aborted the mission and made a safe landing, Florida Today reported on Saturday. NASA's fleet of four modified GIIs was grounded after the incident and the fasteners for the reversers were beefed up. After that, test flights checked out OK, and the fleet was back to normal by Jan. 12. A NASA safety panel (no irony intended) had raised questions about the safety of the aging fleet of training aircraft several years ago, Florida Today reported.
A 19-year-old man, apparently intending to score a free trip aboard a Delta flight from LA to Atlanta last month, successfully bypassed two checkpoints and then successfully boarded an airliner without a ticket. Security cameras showed that he got past the initial checkpoint by going through an unguarded roped-off area, then walked through the metal detectors. At the gate, he waited until the gate agent was distracted, then sauntered onboard. Other passengers saw what he had done, and after he went into the restroom they alerted the crew. The man, who was from Decatur, Ga., is a convicted burglar and had violated his probation, authorities told the Los Angeles Times. He was arrested but no weapons or bombs were found, and the plane was OK'd for departure within an hour. "Clearly this was a monumental security screw-up," Santa Monica resident John Hall, who was a passenger on the flight, told the Times. "Here I am, along with all the other passengers, taking off our shoes and waiting in endless lines to board a plane and this guy just strolls past the security net." The incident took place on Jan. 15, while the country was still on heightened Orange Alert. The FBI and the TSA are investigating.
STARS is brightening the lives of controllers all over the country, and not just in the handful of places AVweb and several other media outlets mentioned in stories last week. The Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System has been installed in 13 airports since the successful full deployment of the system in Philadelphia last June. "We got a lot of systems out last year," Rebecca Trexler, of FAA Public Affairs, told AVweb. Two prototype systems in Syracuse and El Paso were also upgraded to full deployments, bringing the total number of STARS systems in use to 16. Trexler said there are plans to install at least 16 more systems this year and another 10 in 2005. Although the program seems to be up and running, now, it's been a long, controversial and expensive road. The ultimate cost of putting the system in all 167 sites planned for its use is now $1.69 billion, almost double the original estimate. Still, the system has firm government support. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta claims it's essential to the government's plan to triple access to the National Airspace System asnd the FAA calls it "the centerpiece of FAA's modernization of the national air traffic system."

One of the things I recite like a mantra is: The more complex your filing system, the easier it is to find things. Let me explain. If you like I used to do, just dump all of your music work into one folder called 'music' you are looking for trouble down the line, this is what I call a simple filing system, everything in one place. what you very quickly end up with is one VERY long list of folders or songs that you will find yourself scrolling through every time you are looking for something. So what's the alternative?

At Home with Kelly Hoppen
British design superstar Kelly Hoppen shows the world who she is when she is at home in London on the trendy south side of the Thames.
By Ashlee Moratorio
Her tactile approach to design adds depth and texture, and a sensuality that makes you want to touch everything. For example, chain-mail-and-cotton blinds replace conventional window treatments. Overhead spotlights directed at the innovative window dressings create a sexy glistening effect, surpassing the wow factor that she has sought to achieve from the outset.
"I loved the chain mail light above the kitchen table and became obsessed with chain mail!" Hoppen enthuses. Among the other materials in the kitchen are stainless steel, CaesarStone and oak. (The cabinetry is from Boffi.) Hoppen-esque details include the hanging Bubble chair, fine art photography and a reflective India Mahdavi stool (one of several in the home).
Wood finishes dominate the floors within the main area of Hoppen's home, but for the bedroom, she chose a soft, plush carpet that provides warmth underfoot, while blending with the earthy taupe color scheme. Carefully coordinated, even the soft gray coats of William Wegman's Weimaraners complement the sumptuous silky tactile texture of velvet bed throws and suede-covered chairs, which she brought from her previous home.
In 2004, Waterfront launched Kelly's debut range of bathroom hardware. Their strong geometrical design is offset by the sinuous form of the Andrée Putman–designed bathtub, which rests on a stained oak plinth, setting a dramatic scene for bathing. It's here in the bathroom that her familiar Eastern-inspired style is most in play. The cool white marble bath mat and opulent use of antiques such as a Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona ottoman illustrate the importance she places on the
ritual aspects of bathing.
The cantilevered shelves conceal low-level lighting that is soft and atmospheric. "At night I light scented candles and turn all the other bathroom lights off," Hoppen says, "so that I can float in the darkness with just a pool of light around the bath."
This is the first time that Hoppen has lived alone since her children were born, and the home is infused with a feeling of youthful energy, of a new beginning. "Do you know what?" asks Hoppen. "I just love every single bit of this flat; I never get bored with it. I'm so happy to get home every day; I hate leaving it." Now that sounds like a satisfied client.
What the Pros Know
"White is a truly versatile color," says Kelly Hoppen, who frequently uses a whole array of white tones on her projects. "Taupe and sand may work against each other," she says, "but white works happily with both. It also loves bold accent colors such as red, purple or navy blue."Typically, Hoppen pairs white with nearly black, but with not black itself. "Black lacquer surfaces in particular can be very harsh in contrast to pure white walls," she instructs, "so choose the rich deep chocolate shades of dark woods such as wenge or stained oak for a softer edge." If, on the other hand, you really want a pure black, she recommends pairing it with a light neutral instead of true white.

I'm just a home grown Ga. peach, LOL. We have 5 beautiful grand daughters, that are the light of our lives. We are so blessed to have such joy given to us to enjoy and be able to share in their growing up to young ladies someday..
I love the outdoors, love photography, and love to cook, for my husband of 28 years. Recently he has been put on a low sodium diet due to a diagnosis of CHF, and that has been a challenge to say the least for my cooking knowledge. Since I have always had to fight off the pounds, and did alot of low fat cooking before. Now it has become an eye opener, that low fat is more sodium in most cases. So now I try to juggle two restiricted diets and combine them which is an even greater challenge.
Thanks to this site, it has been much easier though than I expected. And thanks to all the great cooks here for sharing their wonderful recipes.
Would love to find someone to chat with that might be in the same situtation, and we could exchange ideas and recipie suggestions.
I love zaar, and all its great recipes, It is such a wonderful resource, and I just know there are lots of new friends just waiting to me made... Thanks Zaar
Well this list has definately been revised, due to health concerns for DH.
love any kind of Mexican, this would have to top the list...
but still can't beat that sweet tooth sometimes..

Over the years many famous faces have been seen rocking the Maple Leafs sweater. Actors, comedians, and of course some of our favourite musicians.
Last October this picture of Lorde circulated on Twitter after her show at the Danforth Music Hall. Seems fitting that she's rocking the blue and white as her songs are often played in-game at Air Canada Centre. And while jet planes, islands, and tigers on a gold leash may not impress her, maybe a fast paced hockey game would. HERE's a video of her performance.

Keith Urban was presented with a jersey after his Light the Fuse Tour stopped to play at Air Canada Centre in January.
Keith has always been one of my favourites and one of the best to see in concert. His personal approach towards the crowd and ridiculous guitar skills are definitely worth seeing live at least once. His most recent release off the Fuse album, Cop Car, was performed at the Grammys in January and is making the rounds on youtube. Check it out HERE.

"Trash" is one of three episodes of Firefly that Fox declined to air during the show's original run in 2002. Those shelved treasures have since been seen by any and all who care via DVD and previous cable network telecasts. "Trash" brought back Mad Men's Christine Hendricks as Saffron, the sexy silver-tongued scam artist who duped Mal into marriage and tried to sell Serenity for scrap. It also exposed Nathan Fillion's backside -- and nearly all of his frontside -- to the world: The opening and closing sequences featured Mal in the desert, wearing nothing but his birthday suit. Looking almost Thinker-esque as he sat on a rock pondering the skyline, the pants-deprived Captain Tightpants opened the show by saying: "Yep. That went well." Fillion's line reading suggested sarcasm. Fake-out! When we returned to the exact moment in the final act, we realized he was being totally sincere: The risky scam that cost him his clothes -- but gained him a priceless treasure plus sweet vengeance against Saffron -- had gone very well indeed. So much so that he seemed unbothered if not utterly oblivious to his nakedness. His shipmates were as surprised as we were to find their leader in the buff, but were more amused than uncomfortable by the spectacle. If Mal was unashamed of his nakedness, neither were they. So it goes in the ironic iron Eden of Serenity, where morality is relative, innocence is a state of mind, and snaky deceit is acceptable -- as long as you're not screwing your crew.
"Trash" had a slick premise. Mal and co. reluctantly teamed with Saffron to steal a priceless artifact – an original "hand-held laser pistol," "the forerunner of all laser technology" – from a rich antiquities collector. Said antiques also included dollar bills, a phone booth, and… the Mona Lisa?! And said collectors turned out to be Saffron's first husband -- a little detail among many that she neglected to mention to Mal when she pitched him on the scheme. Saffron's fibs within lies within treacheries produced a series of complications. We were left to wonder if Saffron's evil was willful or pathological. Did she choose to be a snake, or was she the scorpion whose nature demanded that she betray the poor frogs that trusted her? And what was her real name, anyway? Was it possible that she had somehow forgotten? Regardless she was loathsome for her willingness to prostitute emotional intimacy as well as her body for money. Mal may have been fooled by some of her misdirection, but he never questioned her utter inauthenticity. This fundamental distrust of her -- his confidence that she would always betray him, no matter what --allowed him to walk her right into the trash-can trap he had arranged with Inara. The scammer had been scammed. Saffron underestimated -- or is that overestimated? -- both Inara and Mal. She never thought the principled Companion Inara would get her hands dirty, never thought that Mal would use even her in his dirty work. (If only Saffron had been privy to the scene earlier in the ep, where Mal and Inara argued over the very issue -- a scene that effectively set effectively us for that last, triumphant twist.) Put another way: Mal used one "whore" to bring down another. Neat.
NEXT: "Trash" = Allegory for Firefly's behind the scenes struggles?

I've never posted here before, but saw a very strange thing on my front sidewalk--a dark 'puddle' about 2 feet in diameter located under a maple tree and comprised entirely of what appear to be small golden bees. There must be thousands of them in there. They are crawling over each other and appear to be all alive but staying in this grounded swarm on the front sidewalk.
I got fairly close and a few were flying out of the pile and back but none paid me any attention. But I'm worried that someone's dog will disrupt the swarm while out walking on that sidewalk tomorrow and harm will come to bees, dogs and maybe people. Any idea why they're doing this or what we should do? |

Looks like a recent swarmed hive from somewhere close by and landed on a weird place, perhaps the Queen got insured and can't fly no more? Please,...see if you can find a local keeper to have them scooped up. |
We've put a couple of barriers on either side of the swarm to prevent early runners and dog walkers from accidentally disturbing the swarm, as long as people keep their pets leashed. I've also just gotten a few pictures--I think I may have managed to upload them via url here. If there are any beekeepers in the vicinity of St. Louis, I'd especially appreciate their help or advice with this. |
Here is a link that might be useful: my bees
I left an email with the pics with the Three Rivers Beekeepers, which was the local organization that came up when I googled. Any other help or advice is appreciated as now I've got to give up the ghost and hope all's well tomorrow and we can find a solution. |
Thanks for that suggestion Konrad--the Beekeepers got in touch with me this morning. Sounds like they are going to stop by to collect our lost bees sometime today. |

Good! This is a small swarm, my guess a after swarm of Italian race with a virgin queen. |

For Spring/Summer 2009, AnOther Magazine did a photo spread featuring models wearing cardboard boxes, plastic "Footlocker" bags, and packaging tape.
I know we're living in a recession, but who knew it had gotten this bad? All in all, it's a witty photo feature that at least shows once and for all that models can wear anything and still look gorgeous.
The spread was shot by Willy Vanderperre and is featured in the Spring/Summer '09 copy of AnOther Magazine.

As seen as in the last version of the FAQ, a player who is in the Brig cannot go to the Sickbay. But is there a point somewhere saying that a player in the Brig cannot be chosen as the target for this effect, even if the effect is not resolved?
My friends and myself have got some difficulties to decide because there are examples which could go both ways. First, when a player has to chose to discard X cards (from a Crisis card, for example), he can do so even if he has not the good number of cards (speaking of effects, not costs like Roslin's disadvantage). Next to that point, it is said precisely that a player in the Brig (or Sickbay) cannot be chosen as a target for an effect sending him to this same location. Do this point also apply to the Brig -> Sickbay effect, or can the targetting be done even if the effect is not completely resolved?
Thanks in advance if someone has an official answer hidden in his sleeve!

An easy to use and quick detection test for elevated levels of LH (Luteinizing Hormone) in women. The hormone is always present in female urine, but the presence of increased levels means that the next 24-48 hours will give the best chance for conception. The test is simple, just collect urine, place the strip in the container up to the marked line, remove after 3 seconds and let sit on a flat non absorbent surface. Results will be readable in 5 minutes. It is best to perform this test for 5 consecutive days or more to get the most accurate readings.
