Down the street from the State Capitol, in St. Paul's Midway neighborhood, Vape Pro's owner Troy Decorsey puffed banana bread-flavored nicotine from his e-cigarette device, which he said helped him quit smoking after 25 years.
"You prove that secondhand vapor is harmful, and I will shut my store down," he said. "I will leave right now."
In a crowded hearing room at the Capitol, some legislators said Wednesday that consumers can't wait decades for proof, the way they did with tobacco.
"This is the Wild West," Rep. Laurie Halverson, DFL-Eagan, told a panel of lawmakers looking at restricting e-cigarettes. "We just don't know and the consumer doesn't know. The consumer is being told they're harmless, but the fact is the consumer doesn't know because we haven't regulated it."
Minnesota's debate is part of a national battle over e-cigarettes, with some of the nation's largest cities adding "No Vaping" to signs that already say "No Smoking." In Minnesota, where 80 percent of the state's 200 e-cigarette retailers have popped up in the past year, the Legislature is eyeing the idea of regulating them like regular tobacco, including banning their use indoors and in public places. But the measure is being met with resistance from the industry, which says the products are far from being comparable to cigarettes.
E-cigarettes can contain nicotine laced with various flavors, or can be nicotine-free. There is no tobacco, so the devices emit a vapor rather than tobacco smoke. Experts are divided over whether the vapors themselves contain chemicals that are dangerous to inhale.
"Here's the deal," Decorsey said. "As soon as they see 'smoke,' they assume the worst. Because they don't smoke, they assume the worst. The problem is that they're not knowledgeable about it. Nobody is."
Opponents call electronic cigarettes the next public health menace, geared toward luring kids into nicotine addiction with candy-sweet flavors like "cola," "milk chocolate" and "bubble gum."
Backers say they're a safer alternative to smoking, and in many cases the only tool that has helped lifelong smokers kick the habit, although for many, nicotine is a component of their vaping.
As Minnesota legislators take their first hard look at the devices that have created a burgeoning industry in the state, both sides have reached a consensus: No one knows just how harmful — or harmless — they really are.
Bans, proposed protections
The Minneapolis City Council is considering whether to support a state ban. Duluth and Mankato have already restricted e-cigarette use in public places, St. Paul is looking at prohibiting sales to minors and Hennepin County has included e-cigarettes in its ban on smoking on county property.
Elsewhere, Chicago and New York City have banned e-cigarettes in public places and Los Angeles is a step away from a similar ban.
New Jersey brought e-cigarettes under its smoking ban in 2010. Utah is looking at a bill that would ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors, and a pro-vaping website counts restrictions or tax hikes on the products pending in California, Maryland, Washington state, Hawaii and the cities of San Francisco and Philadelphia.
On the flip side, Wisconsin and Tennessee are considering measures that would protect e-cigarettes from smoking bans.
More than 100 people, ranging from tobacco lobbyists to health officials and e-cigarette proprietors, packed Wednesday's House Health and Human Services Policy Committee hearing. Chairwoman Tina Liebling, DFL-Rochester, twice admonished the crowd that no vaping was allowed in the room, insisting that she could smell it. No one was spotted using a vaping device.
Pat McKone, of the American Lung Association of Minnesota, told Liebling that she might be smelling the devices' most popular flavor, which she had brought along: lemon blueberry cotton candy. McKone compared the tactics of the e-cigarette makers to Big Tobacco's marketing to children.

I have an interesting water use problem. The ground in my area excessively drains, i.e. very gravelly. Standing water is impossible, especially combined with the long hot dry summers.
My site currently hosts mostly pine trees and a few other interesting native plants. I would like to step up the water storage capability and am looking for ideas. My plans so far include:
Has anyone else been presented with these problems? How did you solve them? |

g'day gothic, your ideas sound fine to me, nothing like keeping adding that organic material in, raised beds will still be best over time, use lots of mulch and maybe even hugelkultur under the beds. len |

OK, I managed to secure about 25 yards of wood chips. What do you think of using masses of wood chips in the hugelkulture? Klaus |
g'day klause, yes the wood chip would be good in hk, but maybe outside the box you could lay it in long rows oh! i dunno 1/2 meter high and wide along the contours to act as swales and in time it will rot down bolstering your soil. could do the same with bales of spoilt hay material (greens) or straw (browns), be less labour intensive than diging a trench swale that has to be all but perfectly horizontal. the raised beds won't miss not having hk over time did you check our bale garden presentation? if you plant trees along where the swales might go and mulch around the trees and between them in rows then you get 2 birds with the one stone hey? len |

Just Okay
Product is a little disappointing - cover occasionally pops of the rings and it is a little bulky with the iPad.

Great Ipad/notebook holder
The quality of the leather is good and it is very pretty. I haven't used it much yet but am looking forward to it and eventually buying the planner pages as well.

Circa Ipad Notebook
I was very happy to find something that would hold my IPad and a note book or planner since I still need to write some of my notes. I do like it alot, however I would have preferred something that zips up to hold everything in.
September 4, 2014
Beautiful if it worked....
I love most all of my Levenger items, but this one has been a disappointment. With the iPad installed the covers pop off the rings, so I removed the iPad with the same results. Putting in larger rings do not help, they still pop off and I have to reinstall the covers. I don't have a lot in this notebook so I was really disappointed with the performance of the item. There seems to be a design issue with this product.

Circa IPad Foldover Notebook
I must echo the fact that the design of the notebook is seriously flawed. I should have listened to the other reviews and go with something else. As mentioned, the left side is way too heavy with the IPad in it. I would return it, but believe its over the timeframe to do. I have the leather zipped, but sometimes I need something a little smaller, I'll get the junior and figure out what to do with this one later.
May 25, 2014
Not iPad ready
I have to echo my concerns about how the current Circa construction is not compatible with the weight of an iPad. I am very sorry that I cannot use it except flat on a desk, and the weight has pulled apart my Circa to the point of ruining it. I have read your comments about re-engineering this design, and I hope you do, because the concept is wonderful. The execution, however, is sub-par.
February 7, 2014
iPad Notebook
I was a little disappointed in that my iPad was too heavy for the left side of the notebook. It has separated several times because of the weight of the iPad and only works comfortably at a desk - not when I'm walking around in classrooms and trying to access both sides.
December 15, 2013
It works!
Although it would be better if you could prop the notebook, the combination works. You don't have to carry 2 separate items.
December 15, 2013
Love it
And hope my Sister will too! New job, and new Ipad - this should help out! Love the Levenger quality!

House Republicans upset with the handling of the renaming of Squaw Peak are moving to strip Gov. Janet Napolitano of her power to appoint most of the members of the State Board on Geographic and Historic Names.
The legislation would require that six of the nine members be appointed by lawmakers, four by the majority party and two by the minority. The remaining choices would be up to the Arizona Historical Society, the Arizona Association of Counties, and the League of Arizona Cities and Towns.
The proposed legislation would prevent any state employee from sitting on the board. Four of the current board members represent state agencies that report to the governor, on top of the two people the governor names.
Rep. Phil Hanson, RPeoria, who crafted the legislation, said the issue isn't specifically that the board voted earlier this year to rename the mountain in Phoenix after Spc. Lori Piestewa, who was killed during the invasion of Iraq. The issue, Hanson said, is the way the governor "ramrodded the thing through the board." The April 17 vote came under fire for various
reasons, including questions about the adequacy of the meeting notice.
Piestewa, a Hopi living on the Navajo reservation, is believed to be the first American Indian woman serving in the U.S. military to be killed in combat.
Efforts made by gubernatorial aide Mario Diaz to pressure then-board chairman Tim Norton to consider the issue stirred controversy earlier this year. Hanson said the board ignored the rules of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, whose policies the state board generally follows, which precludes the naming of a geographic feature after someone for five years after the person's death.
In the end, the board voted 5-1 to back the petition filed by the governor to change the name.
Napolitano has defended her push for the name change both as a method to remove an offensive word from a prominent mountain and to honor Piestewa. She would not comment Tuesday about Hanson's bill.

Governor doesn't know anything but fees and taxesApril 11, 2013 |
I read recently with a sickened feeling in my body how our governor is sour on the proposed $500 million gas tax hike. Well guess what, we hard working and retired taxpayers are simply tired of his continuous and never ending rhetoric on raising taxes and fees. Is there anything else in this man's vocabulary other then raising taxes. How about doing what we have to do. Don't you think it's time to tighten your belt, cut expenses and try to live within your means. This is what we have to do like it or not. Before this legislature decides to raise more taxes, they need to look at the following: 1. Furloughs (The private sector does it all the time ) 2. Leaving unfilled positions empty 3. Reduce the fleet size of state vehicles and replace older vehicles with green energy ones. 4. Eliminate annual pay increases. Also, look into all the fraud that is being perpetrated in this state government. I'm sure they come find several hundred million dollars if they put some energy and resources to work on the problem. Stop coming back to us ( taxpayer), every time you need to fix a financial problem that you created. In closing, let me add one important request. Please give us some breathing room on taxes and fees and stop trying to help everyone with our tax monies. We don't have the luxury of living off of six figure incomes like you and your administration. P.S: The one thing that really irritates me and thousands of others living in Western Massachusetts is how the transportation funds were syphoned off (stolen) from us to build the big dig ( PIG ). It's years later and our roads and highways are falling apart. Who do we thank for that? Roland Archambault Chicopee |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report by Hungarian privately-owned conservative newspaper
Magyar Nemzet, on 23 September
[Interview with Palestinian Ambassador in Hungary Ahmed Abdelrazeq by
Levente Szitkei; place and date not given: "Palestine Will Never Accept
[Szitkei] What do you hope for?
[Abdelrazeq] We hope that the international community will accept
Palestine as the 194th member of the UN.
[Szitkei] Do you have any doubts that this will happen?
[Abdelrazeq] We are hoping. The Americans said that they would use their
veto in the Security Council, but we believe that they will also
recognize that, with this step, they would act against President Obama's
last year declaration. In his speech to the UN General Assembly in
September last year, Obama said that he hoped he would be able to greet
an independent Palestine in 2011.
[Szitkei] As we speak, negotiations are under way in New York, new ideas
are formulated, and new plans are emerging. Among these, are there any
that could be foreshadowing progress?
[Abdelrazeq] We have always said that there is no alternative to
negotiations. The real work starts when we get UN support for
independence. This is not the final goal, this is only the beginning.
The really serious negotiations with Israel will start then.
Unfortunately, we have not received a single serious offer for
negotiations. We remember that President Obama said in May that the 1967
borders represent the basis for negotiations. We accepted that, but the
Israeli government did not. Then, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe
presented a negotiation offer also supported by the Europeans, but
Israel rejected that too. Three factors are important for negotiations:
coordination should start again, construction of settlements on the
occupied territories should stop during the negotiations, and we should
set a timetable on the basis of which we continue the negotiations. We
have been negotiating for 18 years, and what happened. Have we advanced?
No, the whole t! hing cannot be taken seriously.
[Szitkei] It seems that the international community was taken by
surprise by Palestine's request for independence. Do you agree with
[Abdelrazeq] Anyone seriously thinks that we will accept the occupation?
This would be very strange. Hungary has also struggled a lot against
occupation and never accepted that. We are now turning to the UN because
this organization created the two states, Israel and Palestine in 1947.
[Szitkei] Why did you decide that precisely now?
[Abdelrazeq] We waited and tried to negotiate but we did not succeed in
achieving anything. We have now realized that the entire process came to
a deadlock and we cannot continue on this road. Our only chance was to
turn to the UN. Since the Oslo Agreements, Israel has been conducting a
unilateral policy regarding the construction of settlements. At the
time, in 1993, some 250,000 settlers lived in the occupied territories;
today, there are more than half a million. There were countries that
protested against this, but nobody did anything against this. Not a
single country in the world regards the settlements as legal, except
Israel. Our representative in Washington said that he did not want to
see Israelis in Palestine; however, if a Jewish person wants to live in
Palestine as a Palestinian citizen, there is no obstacle to this.
[Szitkei] Not long ago, Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon
declared that the UN General Assembly's yes vote for Palestine does not
mean anything but, at the same time, it basically threatens the
stability in the region. What is the truth?
[Abdelrazeq] Ayalon's declarations contradict each other. Our plan does
not threaten stability in the region; this is what the Israelis claim,
they constantly say that there will be tremendous violence after the
vote. There will be no such thing. There can be demonstrations against
the occupation but not in a violent way. The Israeli soldiers are the
ones who are shooting at peaceful demonstrators!
[Szitkei] Do you regard as imaginable that Israel will use force against
demonstrators after the petition?
[Abdelrazeq] I very much hope that they will not do such a thing. The
Palestinians will certainly not attack the Israelis.
[Szitkei] What is the situation with Gaza? Mahmoud Abbas does not
represent the Hamas that is ruling there, so he cannot be responsible
for their actions, people who often use violence against the Israelis.
[Abdelrazeq] We agreed with Hamas, the negotiations on reconciliation
continue. Hamas supported our efforts towards independence, but it is
their decision not to participate in our delegation. Mahmoud Abbas
represents the Palestinians, even if some political forces or persons do
not agree with him. It is not true that Hamas is causing the problems,
because Israel is the one who attacks Gaza and kills the people there.
As a response, they launch missiles.
[Szitkei] Considerable changes have taken place at Israel's Muslim
allies in recent months, it is enough to mention Turkey or Egypt, and
Israel's diplomatic manoeuvring scope has been reduced. Could this help
the Palestinian efforts?
[Abdelrazeq] Obama said that the status quo cannot be maintained. The
changes that have take place in the Arab world show that the people have
much more power than before, so the simple people participate much more
seriously in the political decisions too. Unfortunately, there are
several extremists in the Israeli government, like Avigdor Liberman or
Eli Yishay who do not see what is happening around them, and so, Israel
is isolating itself from the outside world. The current moment is a very
valuable and important one in our endeavour to achieve peace.
[Szitkei] In your view, will you be able to visit Tel Aviv as a tourist
in two years' time?
[Abdelrazeq] I can go there any time, as I am a French citizen. I think
we do not need even one year for me to visit there as a Palestinian

La Fiesta Restaurante Mexicano?s classic dishes have earned the eatery a long-standing award proudly displayed on the website: Best Mexican Restaurant nine years in a row, as voted by readers of the Times-News. At the start of each workday, the restaurant?s chefs fry the popular tortilla chips and whip up bowls of salsa. Then they get to work on such dishes as chicken simmered in a chipotle cream, char-grilled steak tacos, and spinach burritos.
From the Spanish word meaning the appetizer, La Botana references itself as "a modest little restaurant with big flavors." Modest is right. With its vegetarian menu alone boasting more than 30 dishes, the eatery was named the Readers' Choice for Best Mexican Food 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 by Smitty's Notes, among a slew of other awards.
The full menu, which is rife with mole-slathered entrees, sizzling fajitas, and lime-infused seafood, comprises multiple regions of Mexico, including Guadalupe, Nuevo Leon, and Oaxaca. North Carolina craft beers are also available to wash down spicy morsels or put out small table fires caused by rubbing your hands in anticipation.
Just as Thomas Edison stumbled through useless prototypes of light bulbs and movie cameras before perfecting the phonograph, the alchemists at Qdoba Mexican Grill took 47 attempts before landing on the franchise's signature blend of three cheeses, known simply as queso. That attention to detail still pervades every aspect of the menu, as employees spend hours each day chopping, dicing, and simmering the fresh ingredients that find their way into burritos, taco salads, and grilled quesadillas. Beyond the marinated bites of chicken, beef, and pork and hand-crafted tortillas, cooks protect their ripe, fragile avocados from harm by smashing them into batches of fluffy guacamole.

Though Sand Creek Brewing Company officially launched in 2004, its heritage stretches all the way back to 1856. That's when the Swiss-born Ulrich Oderbolz built his Oderbolz Brewing Company. on the side of a hill in Black River Falls. The facility changed hands and names over the years?Badger Brewing Company, Pioneer Brewing Company?before the Sand Creek team relocated from their makeshift brewery on a Wisconsin dairy farm.
These days, Pioneer's brewmaster Todd Krueger?a winner of three World Beer Cup golds?joins forces with Sand Creek's Jim Wiesender. Together, the duo concocts 10 year-round and seasonal brews, from an award-winning oatmeal chocolate stout to a German-style ale made with Wisconsin-grown cranberries. Brews flow every Friday evening at Sand Creek's taproom, while free tours offer glimpses into the historic building and its 19th-century beer cellar, where bottles are fashionably attired with top hats and monocles. Besides extended taproom hours each summer, the microbrewery participates in myriad events throughout the year.

Meanwhile, the pizza oven fires up dough disks, including the Bilotti's Ultimate ($21.24 for a 14-inch pie), on which a righteous triumvirate of pepperoni, canadian bacon, and ground beef dance across a field of green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and pineapples. Offered all day, breakfast dishes, such as steak and eggs ($11.99), confound morning news anchors and goad cadres of confused roosters into crowing at sunset. While enjoying delicious bites and discussing the proper way to braid spaghetti, wash down a mighty meal with selections from Bilotti's wine list.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: Subtitle / bullet points
George - Hope you got this last week. I need to have an answer tonight or
first thing tomorrow morning so I can figure out a subtitle for the
catalog. Unless you hate this, I think we should go with it in the
catalog, at least, and we can adjust in the coming weeks if need be.
Looking forward to your thoughts!
Hi George,
Brainstorming away on the subtitle, and I have a thought (actually, it
came up while brainstorming with Bill Thomas). I'm juggling all the big
concepts - unintended empire, Machiavellian presidency, global trends,
forecasts etc. What about keeping it much simpler, like we did with the
last book, and let the bullet points fill in the juicy specifics? How
What the World Will Look Like
Bullet points possibilities
* Russia and Germany become allies
* U.S. reaches accommodation with Iran
* Mexico becomes a national security problem
* U.S.-Israeli relations changes dramatically.
Also, since I haven't read the ms yet, would you suggest possible bullets
War on Terror?
Economy? Financial crises?
I'd like something on either the economy or techonology so it's not all
Thanks - eager to hear your thoughts.

Nielsen has released a new quarterly Global AdView Pulse report, which shows that although global ad spend continues to rebound, it has only increased by 1.9 percent from Q1 2012.
Nielsen has released a new quarterly Global AdView Pulse report, which shows that although global ad spend continues to rebound, it has only increased by 1.9 percent from Q1 2012.
The report shows that ad spend has dropped in Europe, remained stagnant in North America, and marginally increased in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. In the Middle East and Africa spending grew by 2.9 percent during the first quarter of 2013, continuing the recovery from the advertising decline early last year. But the region has also been affected by the political unrest in Egypt, which has always been one of the largest markets for the region. Ad spend has declined by 20 percent in the country.
Source: Nielsen Global AdView Pulse report
Latin America saw growth of 11.9 percent during Q1, and spending grew in all countries in the region.
Asia-Pacific also saw growth in ad expenditures, with 5.8 percent in Q1. The top performers in the region were China, Indonesia, and the Philippines, which all saw around 20 percent growth. Japan was the only country in the region where ad spend decreased.
With the ongoing economic troubles in Europe, ad spend continues to decline. The report speculates that it is unlikely that Europe will recover from its economic challenges any time soon.

Maybe I'm just sheltered...
0Jun 2, '02 by shayOhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........I am HOT under the collar.
I just spent a little while over at that *#@!! 'student doctor network' bb, and I was soooooooooooooo PISSED at all the 'nurses are stupid' comments over there.
Okay, maybe I'm just sheltered, but I have only run into (let's see...counting...) 4 doctors who honest to God thought nurses were worthless little handmaidens and that they were superior gods of medicine. I honestly cannot believe all the little sh!theads over there who think so little of nurses and think that A) nurses are uneducated and stupid and B) think it is docs, not nurses who provide the majority of care to patients.
Do these little morons not realize who saves their butts at 3am?
AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!! I am so infuriated. I'm just floored. I just never knew there was such disrespect for nurses amongst the docs out there. I guess I've just been sheltered. I have almost ALWAYS been treated with respect by my docs, and they have almost ALWAYS acknowledged the value of a good nurse. I am just floored. I just can't believe it. I want to meet every single one of those sons of bytches in a dark alley. No, better yet, I want to meet every single one of them when they get their collective butts chewed by an old NURSE.
Thanks to nilepoc, kmchugh, and meandragonbrett for pleading our case over there, even if they did blow you off because you're just 'lowly' nurses................... -
0Jun 2, '02 by shygirlShay, I'm sorry to say but you should not get so upset over this. What do you care? If the site is causing you to become angry, go away from there! You know by now that some MD's feel superior and they always will. Why don't you try indulging them? My mom always said to me " You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar" We have this MD at our facility who is a notorious chauvinist. We all decided to be super nice to him. You know what? He is so sweet now to us!:angel2:Gilda
0Jun 2, '02 by fedupnurseI hear you Shay but I, unfortunately, cannot say I am shocked. It didn't surprise me at all. I work in a teaching hospital and many of our medical residents are foreigners: Middle East, Poland, Russia, etc. There are many that I truly enjoy working with and then there are those few that give the whole bunch a bad name. I call it the second year chip. SOmetimes this occurs during their second rotation thru the ICU during their first year of residency, but it very frequently happens when they become second years. All of the sudden they know it all and how dare we question them. Well when you are ordering a sentinel dose of Atropine, I WILL question it. When the patient has a pH of 6.8 and a bicarb of 5 and has no BP and the levo isn't working due to the acidity of her system and your answer (a 3rd year resident) is "well she is not acutely shocky so let's just give her 1 amp of bicarb" I will call the attending MD and get an appropriate order. When you are an attending doc (an anesthesiologist) and you are walking thru the unit and there is a patient with an acute bronchospasm who requires IMMEDIATE intubation and I say hey doc we have an emergency here, we need your help and you say "I have to go see my first preop" and keep on walking, I will write up a QA (which was thrown away, apprently). When you as a doc sit at the nurses station and bellow for a nurse just becasue you are too lazy to get up off your @ss and get the chart yourself, I will not acknowledge your existance as a human being unless I absolutely have to. I am not your personal slave.
Don't get me wrong. There are a handful of docs I would trust with my life. After working night shift for as long as I have, I see the double standard of how they treat day shift and then how they treat us. It is simply dispicable! If I call you for a tylenol order at 3 am, I can understand you'd be a little pi$$y but when I am calling you about your patient who is dying don't yell at me! I will yell back!!
So, in summary, I have met more than my fair share of these jerks in my time. Many don't last more than a year because their cocky attitudes get in the way of learning. Many also come around and realize that we are the reason why patients are in the hospital. They are there for NURSING CARE. I go out of my way to help docs I like to work with. But the ones I don't like are on their own.
Sorry for the length here, but like Shay, their attitudes really pi$$ed me off too. You'd think they were hospital administrators!! -
0Jun 2, '02 by fergus51All it will take is one screwup on their part that is caught by a nurse for them to realize they don't know it all. We have a couple bad docs, one we call Dr. God, but most aren't this stupid anymore. I think medical schools like to build up their students, but once they get into the real world they see that they don't know everything.
0Jun 2, '02 by Zee_RNSounds like a web site to avoid. You're not going to see anything you like and it's just gonna piss you off. Avoid it; it's not worth it.
Our third-year residents are going to be finishing their rotation in a couple of weeks. One of the residents came up to me last night--it was her last night on call. She said to me "I need to ask you a question, please be honest...Am I good doctor? I feel so inadequate at times! How did I do? Am I ready?" Who did she ask? A nurse. Needless to say, she's gonna be a great doc in the private practice she'll be entering! And I told her so. Those who question themselves from time to time and seek help when needed are the best. -
0Jun 2, '02 by DplearWhere is this forum?....I would love to go and pursue some of messsages and add my own little bit of wisdom....such as residents ordering 3 TIMES the correct dosage of vanc ona 40 day iold and trying to blame the nurse for taking the order off wrong....to bad he could not change what he wrote...hehehe...burned his own ass...and a nurse saved his butt from a lawsuit.
Dave -
0Jun 2, '02 by shayDave, I pm'd you the link.
And for the rest of y'all, yes, you're right, I should just avoid the place. I went there out of curiosity from the nurse-bashing post huggietoes posted (huggietoes didn't bash, s/he cut and pasted a post from that student doctor site) just to see what the heck these idiots were saying, and I was honestly FLOORED.
I mean, yeah, I've come across the occasional I'm-a-doctor-therefore-I-am-God MD, but really....it's RARE. And usually they were residents and it was only a matter of time before a nurse chewed them a new one. I guess it just really grates my nerves that these student doctors aren't being taught any better. I mean, MY GOD....how many times have YOU all saved a doc's butt?? HUNDREDS!! I know I have personally had many good saves, ESPECIALLY in OB!!
I just don't understand how anyone can think nurses are 'just stupid, period' to quote one especially ignorant a$$. Grrrrr. Okay, well, I'm gonna take y'alls advice and stay the hell away from that site. I just hope and pray the little butthead that was calling nurses stupid isn't my first cousin, who is an anesthesia intern at Northwestern.Last edit by shay on Jun 2, '02 -
0Jun 2, '02 by live4todayNo matter what those resident med students say or do to a nurse, we know the REAL DEAL when it comes time to SAVE THE PATIENT, don't we! We, the nurse, get the LAST WORD when we know that THEY are WRONG, and WE are RIGHT! Let them mouth off in their little world all they want to because when push comes to shove, guess who will be doing the shoving? Yeah, baby!!! We, the nurses, will be letting them know just how LITTLE they really know, and it will be us who come to their rescue, so let 'em gloat all they want. We nurses know how to bring them down off of their white cloud! :chuckle
0Jun 2, '02 by Peeps McarthurThose docs are just bitter about not being able to make it as nurses and having to settle for second best for the rest of their careers.:roll
0Jun 2, '02 by capgirlWhen I worked at the BIG teaching hospital in the area, we used to say it took 8 years for MDs to become human again.
Now I work in the little teaching hospital, the residents thank us profusely for all our help, and never give us any god complex attitudes.
I guess little is better (in this instance anyway) !!!

Interview with Mike Morhaime
The San Jose Mercury news managed to snag an interview with Blizzard Entertainment's president, Mike Morhaime. This doesn't contain lots of news about the upcoming Burning Crusade expansion, like the recent interviews with Jeff Kaplan and Tom Chilton, but does provide a broader-picture view of what's happening back at Blizzard entertainment. How has money and success impacted the company? Well, it's a bit much to summarize, so go check it out yourself.

I have never heard of it, but I do a lot of research on the net about things I am interested in. Why don't you type Major Medical Insurance Company ratings in your seach engine and see if anything comes up. If I needed insurance and couldn't afford much I would check into hospitalization only. You have to pay for office visits, but it will pay the doctors when it is hospital related. Our friends did that when they were laid off from their job. You might also call your state's insurance office. |
Depends on what you mean by "Major Medical" Some companies call a policy with a huge deductible,(several thousand) Major medical because it picks up and pays a certain percent after you have paid that deductable. Others will have a lot of restrictions. Some will pay only if you are in a hospital. At your age, you could get a regular policy with any on the main line companies like AARP, Blue Cross, New York Life. I think that would be your best bet and forget about any other type of policy. Decide what you need and don't need. Dental coverage is nice if you have terrible teeth, but isn't worth the cost if your teeth are in good shape. The same thing is true of things like organ transplants, and ambulance fees. Nice if you need them, but most likely you would not. Therefore, not worth the additional premium. When you reach 65, Medicare will pay 80% of the APPROVED amount and your insurance will pick up only the remaining 20%. |
I have coverage just for really catastrophic, expensive things, if that's what you mean. It costs me $92.00 a month. Basically all it covers is in patient hospital procedures, and ER visits with I think a $1000 deductible. No tests, no meds, no dental, no annuals, nothing like that. The deductible is $2,500 for anything other than ER visits. It's through Golden Rule. I've never used it, so I don't know how they are to deal with. |

TinEye searches images in reverse
Find an image's location using TinEye for Google Chrome.
TinEye, a Web-crawling Google Chrome extension, has the job of locating an image's site of origin. While you are on a Web site, TinEye will open a gallery filled with the page's images. After selecting the image you want, TinEye will try to find it in their database of 1,647,128,150 images and their respective sites. Though this service would be very useful, it failed to come up with a satisfactory amount of results during testing.
After the quick installation, a little T icon is installed to the right-hand side of Chrome's address bar. To find Web sites to which your selected image belongs, simply click on this icon and a gallery of the page's images will show up. After you have selected your image, a separate tab with TinEye's homepage will appear. This page is organized and not cluttered. The problem is that TinEye does not have many obscure photos to crawl through. Sure, it has many site results for images of Lady Gaga, but it does not have many basic blog pictures that are easy to find otherwise.
If TinEye were able to search a larger portion of the Internet for images, this extension would be great. However, their database is not impressive.

I have a circa 1974 all tile shower stall, not quite standard size (29.5" x 57.5") that also has old style faucet knobs (separate hot and cold as opposed to the newer regulation single dial). We want to rent out the unit with this stall, and so we need to replace faucet knobs with a dial to minimize potential scalding and a low maintenance surface pan to put over the existing tiles (as grout/tiles on the floor part is slippery and high maintenance), and to be properly sealed and waterproofed in place. Previous posts to this forum suggest acrylic pans are a good value, but I am still not able to tell how feasible it is to get one mounted over the existing tile and properly sealed. Aside from the size and drainhole placement issues (as I say, I think our stall is not a standard size), I get conflicting stories from vendors as to whether sealing against existing tile is possible. I see no reason to retile/rebuild the whole stall ! The tile is good, needs cleaning regrout recaulk is all. Also, a few tiles/a bit of wall will have to be ripped/cut out and replaced in order to replace the faucet handles, fine, even a rectangle of new tiles of a different but complimentary color is fine with me. I see no need to rip out the whole wall. But I am having a hard time finding anyone who will do anything but replace the whole stall for upwards of $5K. Any suggestions/experience ? I live in Mountain View CA. (I also don't want to do anything big enough to require a permit. Complete stall redo requires a permit.) |

"The tile is good, needs cleaning regrout recaulk is all." Does this mean there are cracks or gaps in the grout and/or caulk? This could mean more than just a facelift. |

The bathtub refinishing companies do the same for shower pans and tile walls. When the 'miracle coating' is applied over tile, it will be only one color - no contrasting grout lines, but it's all sealed. Same tub, same tile in both pictures below. I've never had it done, but when I looked into it, I found different methods and it's not clear to me which is better, lasts longer, etc. |

You just described a tearout. The only way that you will be able to do the chewing gum and visqueen halfassery over what exists is if you don't care about damage to the structure longterm, or about any personal liability from a renter dealing with a slumlord complaint. Rentals have certain health and safety requirements that must be met. And permitted. |

Absolutely. And i'd like to give a shout out to "damn" Sam Allen, a vietnam vet and my personal hero
Thank you for you service, and great sacrifices vets.
Agreed! Thanks for serving.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
Me in late 1972 at Pleiku Vietnam. At this point, I was a 20 y.o. seasoned pro having survived the Easter Offensive of '72 that was greater than the Tet of '68 attack. My unit suffered 25% fatalities with another 15% casualties among the pilots.
Yes thank you for your services and sacrifices.
"Don't call me Sir, I work for a living" "I'm an A**hole"
As I've said many times before and I'll say again, there is a special place in my heart for Vietnam Veterans and I send love to you all. It was a very difficult time in the history of America. Snakedriver, you were a very handsome young man and I'm sorry for what you had to experience but I'm glad you are with us today. My deepest gratitude and love to you all who served our country during the Vietnam war.

I have such a love and hate relationship with this foundation. Pros: - a gorgeous finish. It gives just the right amount of coverage (covers under-eye circles and most blemishes) without looking too heavy/mask like. I apply this foundation with a damp beauty blender and the result is very natural. Your skin but 10x better. - this foundation does have great staying power. Okay, maybe it doesn't last as long as Estee's Double Wear, but i'd only have to powder maybe once around lunchtime, and i'll be shine-free all day. Cons: - okay so these are the bad bits. I really do want to love this foundation but there are some things stopping me from doing so :( - first of all, the shade range isn't amazing. I am quite pale (typical English skin, porcelain like), and even the lightest shade of this foundation was still rather dark for me, which meant i'd have to blend the foundation all the way down my neck to my collarbones (which wasted a tonne of product). I believe most of the shades are aimed towards those with yellow undertones. It's a shame because the foundation was a slightly different colour that what it looks like in the bottle! - this breaks my skin out like CRAZY. I would not recommend this to anyone with skin susceptible to breakouts because man this stuff will play havoc with your skin. My skin is borderline oily, with a few spots here and there. but no foundation has really affected this. As soon as I started to use this foundation my skin broke out like you wouldn't believe. It's been 2 weeks since I stopped using this and my skin is still trying to recover. I now have scarring across my forehead and lower cheeks, and huge cystic spots around my hairline, all because of this foundation D': Overall this foundation really isn't for me. I want to love it SO bad, but unfortunately I won't be purchasing again.

Smashbox isn't vegan and tests on animals, so I won't be buying this again period.
This gave me a really glowy finish, that was lovely and illuminating. It did get a little oily on my forehead after a full day of school, but did stay on (seems to sink into the skin though)
This product gives a nice light coverage but I found it hard to build up, the product balls up and cakes after 2 light layers (applied with fingers). I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with bumpy acne as the product kind of sticks to it. It looks great from a distance/good lighting, awful and pore-sticking up close.
I like how it was oil free, but it made my sensitive skin break out awfully for up to a week after. It was slightly sticky to wear and I could definitely feel it on/made my face feel dirty.

Only my 4th day of using this foundation and I love it. I wanted to try something different than my MAC NC15 foundation I use. I was an NC40 back in the summer but I stopped tanning and moved away from the beach. This foundation is a buildable full coverage and I love it. I LOVE FULL coverage. My face isn't oily its not cakey with this foundation.
I would so buy it again but I still want to try other foundations.

My HG foundation!
My husband and I were out piddling around town and decided to have an impromptu date night. My makeup was worn all to hell at that point from being out all day and I was feeling frumpy, so my husband suggested we run into Ulta so I could try out some new foundation before we headed out since my Kat Von D foundation had started looking dark on me and I needed to buy some anyways. Ya know, kill two birds with one stone.
I'm NC15 with combo, yet leaning towards dry, skin. I have acne scars out the wazoo. In the store I slapped some on over what was left of my original foundation (which wasn't much)... not to mention the fact that I had no primer... just to see how it looked. I was completely shocked by how flawless my skin looked. I turned and looked at my husband and he said "Wow. Your skin looks all luminous."
I was sold. This foundation blows all my other foundations out of the water. The coverage is excellent. It starts out at medium and is easily built to full without caking up on my dry patches. It literally stays on day as well... and I am a pre-school teacher, so that is saying something. The only downside is the price, but I will gladly pay it for something that works this well.
Best foundation I have ever used. EVER. I have oily, acne prone skin. I use Retin A once a week and take a spiranolactone rx everyday. This combo has helped to keep acne at bay but I am still clog prone and will break out if I use the wrong make-up products. This foundation has been amazing. It is full coverage but can be sheered out using a damp Beauty Blender. Even with it being full coverage it is not thick or cakey. It can accentuate flakes a tad around day 2 or 3 after my Retin A application, but as long as I moisturize well before application it's not a problem.
For me 1.1 is a perfect match for my NC15-20 skin in the winter. When summer came I went up to 1.2 but it is not a huge leap between the shades. It stays put and I do not get oily nor do I need any powder or primer. It is in a glass bottle with a pump (YAY!!). The only ding would be the price point but considering how wonderful it is I would pay double to be able to keep this in my beauty routine. LOVE!!!
I really like this foundation. It isn't too heavy and doesn't crease. The only problem is that it's hard to build up if you want better coverage. I use this foundation on days where I don't want to look too done up or if I'm just running a few errands real quick. It looks very natural.
I adore this product! It is very drying, and I have to keep a strict routine of exfoliating and moisturizing, if I don't, it creates patches that look like scales. I also mix it with a light moisturizer and apply the two together, and use it on its own for dark circles or blemishes. It feels fairly lightweight and doesn't cause break outs. Covers well, and lasts all day.
I absolutely love this foundation and I am beyond picky with foundations. I have an oily complexion and need a long lasting foundation that lasts through work, heat and sweat. I use to think revlon colorstay and EL double wear were the best....I honestly can't imagine ever going back to them. This looks and feels flawless all day, photographs like a dream and I freaking love it!!!! I have applied it with a brush, BB and fingers and love the results each way. I also use the smashbox pore minimizing primer and think they are match made in heaven

Eh.. I wrote a review about this before but after using it for like a month and a half I changed my mind about it .. It's amazing I mean the texture is kinda like Mac studio fix but this is more hydrating and doesn't dry out fast.. It's perfect and all .. BUT after a few hours I noticed that it cakes up.. Cold weather hot weather it still cakes up.. Primer no primer still :c big disappointment. Hoping I'll find my HG soon.

I love, love, love this foundation.
Prior to buying this product I had been using Dior's Flawless foundation, which was basically my HG. I still love that product but in Australia it is ridiculously expensive and so for what isn't the first time, I decided to try something a little cheaper.
For half the price, Smashbox is amazing. Maybe ... even better?? I don't think I will go back to dior. New HG, right here.
The colour matches my fair skin perfectly, whenever I have acne it totally covers it, it lasts all day (and into the night!), and I've gotten so many comments from people saying how flawless my skin looks and asking what product I use. Despite the fact it feels a little thick to the touch, it really doesn't look like I'm wearing heavy foundation. If I tone down my overall makeup look you really can't tell I'm wearing anything.
I literally cannot recommend this enough.

Bad Ass American Rides Pt. 3: '68 Ford Mustang "Bullitt"
For the third installment of my tribute to bad ass American cars, I have video featuring footage from the movie "Bullitt" with a 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 burning up the streets of San Francisco.
As I am currently putting together this web video blog, I am overlooking the beautiful hills and horizon of the unique American city known as San Francisco. So given this week's blog theme and my current city of residence I found it wholly appropriate to pay tribute to another of my favorite American muscle car classics, the timeless Ford Mustang GT...
The Ford Mustang has a rich 40 year history in American culture. The Mustang's humble origins were that of a "secretary" car that was transformed into a performance vehicle by racing designer Carroll Shelby. Since the late '60's the Mustang has become renowned as a world wide sports car staple. This video here features a modified 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 in action as driven by an American bad ass in his own right - the inimitable Steve McQueen. This car chase scene comes from the 1968 action flick "Bullitt" which is filmed on the streets of the San Francisco bay area. Interspersed with the car chase are stills of a Highland Green Ford Mustang GT fastback which gives the lucky audience a closer look at the exquisite interior and exterior of this classic automobile. Although Ford never produced a "Bullitt" edition of the Mustang, this particular make of Mustang is almost synonymous with the movie of the same name.

(Andy Lyons/Getty Images)The Cincinnati Reds have a little more than two weeks to decide their pitcher rotation. For fireballer Aroldis Chapman, he knows what role he wants to play this season."I would like to be a closer, but that's not in my hands," Chapman said, via CBSSports.com. "At the beginning, when I started closing, I didn't know. Then I started getting into the late part of the game, and I liked it. The adrenaline goes up."Chapman went 5-5 with a 1.51 ERA, 38 saves and 122 strikeouts in 71.2 innings last season. He is known for hitting 100 mph on the radar gun with regular frequency.General manager Walt Jocketty and pitching coach Bryan Price have favored making Chapman a starter, while Baker has been considered the strongest advocate of leaving him in the bullpen.Reds manager Dusty Baker said he plans to talk to Chapman and get the pitcher's opinion on his role."We're going to do what's best for the organization, for the team and for him," Baker said. "But it makes it a lot easier if you get the person's blessing. I'm happy he finally expressed something." Promoted Stories Comments

The Sylvester family had bartending in its blood. Whether it was Uncle Mickey holding court with 40 years' worth of regulars or Tony Sr. mixing one of his signature Skip and Go Nakeds, they exemplified the easy grace and no-nonsense craftsmanship found in a true barman's barman. That dedication to well-poured drinks carried over to Tony Jr., who has spent the last 35 years training mixologists nationwide through the curriculum of his ABC Bartending Schools. Taught behind fully functional bars, his courses educate students in topics ranging from drink recipes and equipment setup to flair moves and alcohol awareness. His schools also emphasize employment; after graduation, students can take advantage of a nationwide job placement service to land gigs in Miami nightclubs, Las Vegas casinos, or the bar cars of Chicago's El trains.
Understanding that each child learns differently, the staff members of Sylvan Learning's numerous study centers design custom lesson programs. Based on the results of standardized testing, diagnostic tools, and one-on-one interviews, the staff works with students to help them firmly grasp basic skills such as reading, writing, math, and how to remember facts without tattooing them to their chests. Programs target students in kindergarten through grade 12 and mold to various learning styles, helping kids feel more comfortable in the classroom. Afterschool or summer classes can ready high-school students for the rigors of the ACT or the SAT, or they can help students wow college-admissions officers with their superior writing skills, exemplary test scores, and willingness to arm-wrestle the school mascot.
In 1976, busy California mother Joan Barnes wanted nothing more than to find a play place where she and her kids could enjoy age-appropriate, educational activities. Finding none, she developed her own innovative play environment within a developmental-based program structure now known as Gymboree Play & Music. Today, kids tumble and learn in more than 650 locations in 33 countries around the world, engaging in open play and classes designed to build cognitive and motor skills. As parents participate in their children's development, their kids learn to paint, play music, and interact socially outside of their preschool knitting circles.
At The Talent Pros, a multitalented staff of veteran video producers, Grammy nominees, and visual artists combine their talents to offer a wide range of creative services. The team handles everything from audio recording to video editing and post-production as well as projects such as website design and online marketing campaigns. Staff members also share their knowledge with motivated up-and-comers through music workshops, which cover songwriting skills, industry knowhow, and how to operate recording gear and tin-cans-attached-by-a-string professionally.
In the late 1970s career educators Eileen and Raymond Huntington opened the first Huntington Learning Center in Oradell, New Jersey. Their goal was to take an individualized approach to education, adjusting instructional tactics according to each student's set of needs. Their success in helping K–12 students prepare for exams and improve grades and study skills quickly spawned franchises across New York and New Jersey.
Today, the certified Huntington tutoring staff utilizes testing and rubrics for assessing each child's skills, academic needs and potential for growth. The teachers even note the student's behavior in different testing and academic situations to craft a methodology sensitive to each child's learning style. Teachers also adhere to the company's code of ethics that stresses professionalism and confidentiality and encourages pupils to improve their grades honestly through dedicated study rather than shortcuts.

I think they are all too expensive, or maybe I'm too cheap. However, I like Walmart, Superstore and Canadian Tire. At the end of Summer, early fall you can get some pretty good bargains. The only time I would get anything from a Garden Center is if I need a tree/roses on own roots/some evergreen shrubs. With trees you get what you pay for, and also roses on their own roots. |

Got a new TV set recently. My old LCD 32" Samsung hasn't aged gracefully and started showing signs of old age, so I took the plunge and nabbed a nifty LED-LCD 42" 3D enabled sammy. Nothing fancy, but still a very noticeable upgrade. Besides it came with a bundled BluRay player and a couple of those aggravatingly expensive 3D glasses. I almost got nostalgic about the time when 3D lenses were made of cardboard and blue/red cellophane...I mean, not really, but almost.
After marveling at the IQ from most of my BluRay stuff, and being horrified about the way my regular cable stuff looked like, I proceeded to try out a few of the games I already owned that allowed 3D. Most of them looked neat but not mindblowing; stuff like GT5, Halo and Superstardust HD looked fine, although in Halo's case I started to get severe eyestrain after a bit, which caused me to yell obscenities to the people I was playing with. Most of those insults were not really directed at them, but since this is Xbox Live and people are used to be told to go f*** themselves as a regular greeting process, I blended in perfectly.
That still left me with a massive headache, but at least I got to insult a couple people in the process, which didn't help me with the headache, but somehow soothed my soul.
The one game that actually made me go "oh wow" was Wipeout HD. Seriously the 3D effect in this game is outstanding. The solid framerate and 1080p visuals improved the overall experience, although unfortunately eyestrain and migraines prevented me from playing as much as I would have liked to, and since I wasn't online there were no people to insult, so I ended up turning everything off to apply a huge-ass bag of ice to my forehead.
3D isn't really for me.
