6 panel door from a solid slab?
Hi everyone, My problem is that I want a 6 panel looking door in our bonus room. The doors have to be 24x32", and I need six of them. My original idea was to cut down a solid 6 panel door slab so I could get two 32" doors from a 80" slab, but when I started measuring the door I cant get two doors that would look even. So I was wondering if anyone had ever tried making a panel door from a solid flush door? I know it probably sounds nuts, But that would be the only way I could get two doors from one 80" door, And have a panel look. Any special router bits like that? Other than buying 6 solid doors and cutting them down to 32" , even then I would only get 2 panels per door. I would like to have the top two smaller panels and then the lower two panels that are longer , so at least I could have a 4 panel door. Any Ideas?
I think you're entirely on the wrong track when you're thinking in terms of cutting down pre-fab person-sized doors. Most likely, you'd just end up with a pile of expensive kindling. If you want doors that are 24" x 32", then you can either buy doors that size (from a kitchen cabinet part provider, perhaps) or build them from scratch.
Can you say more about what these are to be used for? Are you saying that you want six doors, and that each door measures 24" by 32" and has four or six panels? My brain is a bit knotted up by all of this.
Sorry for the confusion. These doors are for storage areas in my bonus room. I have a short 4 foot knee wall down both sides of the room and there are three doors per wall. The door openings are 24x32". I want to match the look of these doors with the 6 panel doors in the rest of the house. I know I cannot buy a 6 panel door that short, but I was hoping to get something close. I want to use a solid core door for the insulating factor because behind the knee walls is the attic and although it is insulated it is still chilly back there. I hope this helps some, I am out of ideas!
Personally I think I'd let go of the paneled door idea and just make them inconspicuous slabs to blend in with the surrounding walls. If you want doors with several panels, I don't know how you'd get there without having them custom-made. Whatever sort of door you choose you could increase the r-value by attatching a sheet of foam insulation to the back of them, but the surface area is so small that I don't think heat loss through the doors themselves would be such a big deal. I'd worry more about weatherstripping around the edges to prevent drafts.
Are the existing doors raised or flat panel? It would be pretty tricky to replicate a raised panel door on a slab. However, for a flat panel, there are plunge style router bits that could form the decorative edge of the panel, and then you would have to use a flat bottomed bit to remove the waste and create the flat panel area.
Could you post a picture of the existing doors that you would like to match?
Magnumv8, the fact that it's possible to machine a chunk of material have the same surface contours as a frame and panel door doesn't mean that you end up with a frame and panel door. Doing that sort of thing might enhance the appearance, but only at the cost of destroying the door's structural integrity.
Removing a reasonable amount of material from a solid wood slab (faux panels, for instance) does not affect the integrity of the existing wood. I am not talking about removing the majority of the material.
You've confused me. What kind of slab are we talking about? The thread's title mentions "solid slab." As a woodworker, when I hear solid, I think solid wood.
I see where you're coming from. The slabs I was thinking of were the solid-core passage doors mentioned in the original post, which are not solid wood slabs in the way that "slab" cabinet doors sometimes are.
Yes, I was talking about using a solid wood slab ( not predrilled ) flush interior door, and creating the look of a panel door. This sounds like it would be difficult to do, and myself being a mechanic and not a carpenter my woodworking tools ( and skills ) are limited. I was hoping there was a router bit or something that would replicate the look of a panel door, but it sounds like I may have to use flush doors. I dont have any pictures of the doors because there isnt any doors there now. I just wanted to match the look of the 6 panel doors in the rest of the house. So anybody have a guess how much it would cost to have six 24x32" paneled doors custom made? Probably dont want to know.
A soor 24 X 32 with 6 panels would mean each panel would be about 6" x 5". If you want to match existing doors, measure up the 32" and you will find you have 2 to 4 panels in that height.. You can order cabinet doors made to order. 6 panel would be about $125 to $150 each depending on where your located.
Waltzcraft.com makes custom doors, not sure a non-professional can order them, but you can see door styles there.
I have a similar idea. You may have this project done by now but here is my thought...I was thinking of attaching half round molding strips in the design like the 6 panel existing door an then painting it out. OR maybe some thin luan (sp?) with molding around that to add depth and then paint. I have also seen panel's faux painted on.
I suppose i was too late as well but i had the same idea as
flsusanc, you can do some cool stuff with molding, i might coat it with something like polyshades to give it an interesting look as well, i wouldnt mind seeing pictures of what you did (if youve done it already) as im curiouis to see what approach you took

Should young physicians be allowed to work part time?
- Posted Dec. 21, 2012, 11:09 a.m.
- 24 comments
Los Angeles anesthesiologist Karen S. Sibert, MD, created a stir last year when she raised concerns about the number of young physicians, particularly women, working part time. In an editorial in The New York Times, she noted that the part-time physician workforce had expanded by 62% since 2005 and wrote, "This may seem like a personal decision, but it has serious consequences for patients and the public."
Given that women earn nearly half of all medical degrees today and a large proportion of them pursue primary care, the fact that so many are not working full time will exacerbate the physician shortage, Dr. Sibert warned in her column. She argued that such physicians displace future full-time physicians from medical school and residency positions.
"Students who aspire to go to medical school should think about the consequences if they decide to work part time or leave clinical medicine," Dr. Sibert wrote. "It's fair to ask them—women especially—to consider the conflicting demands that medicine and parenthood make before they accept (and deny to others) sought-after positions in medical school and residency.
"They must understand that medical education is a privilege, not an entitlement, and it confers a real moral obligation to serve."
In 2011, 44% of female physicians and 22% of male physicians worked part time, according to a survey from the American Medical Group Association and Cejka Search.
'It's a calling'
Barbara D. Dougherty, DO, took note of Dr. Sibert's comments. "I agree with the author and have voiced that opinion to many of my colleagues," says the Sewell, N.J., anesthesiologist. While Dr. Dougherty is working just four days a week now after more than 30 years in practice, she believes recently trained physicians should make a full-time commitment to medicine.
"A new physician who works part time takes away a spot from someone who would work full time," Dr. Dougherty says. "You have to decide whether this is your profession or whether it's just going to be a job. Medicine is supposed to be a full-time commitment. It's a calling."
Dr. Sibert points out that because tax dollars support medical education, particularly in state-supported medical schools and Medicare-funded residencies, the public has a financial stake in training the next generation of physicians. "I don't see a recognition of the public good, of the social responsibilities that go along with becoming a physician, among young physicians who choose to practice part time," Dr. Sibert told The DO. "There seems to be this prevailing sense that this is my spot, it's my education, and I can do whatever I want with it."
Members of the osteopathic medical profession are divided on whether new physicians should practice part time. Some praise young physicians for having the courage to prioritize their families, as well as their patients, and blame the medical profession overall for demanding such long hours from those practicing full time. Others concur with Dr. Sibert and Dr. Dougherty that because medicine requires significantly more training than other careers, it requires extraordinary dedication.
More on work-life balance
To learn how some DOs and osteopathic medical students structured their work schedules to pursue other interests, see these articles:
- In this feature on how young women are balancing medicine and motherhood, osteopathic medical students and DOs share the challenges they've faced, such as pumping breast milk while on a surgical rotation and carving out time for themselves.
- Shannon C. Scott, DO, discusses her move from a large family medicine practice to an academic position that allows her more time with her family.
- Bethany V. Chernich, DO, talks about becoming an osteopathic manipulative treatment specialist in Montana after she grew overwhelmed by the long hours and high stress of her family medicine residency.
- A flexible schedule as an emergency physician allows Ivan M. Raimi, DO, to take multiple days off at a time to pursue a screenwriting career.
- After three years as the medical director of a safety-net health center in Florida, Joanna L. Drowos, DO, MPH, decided to pursue a part-time position in academia so she could spend more time with her two young children.
—Carolyn Schierhorn
But even those who are nonjudgmental express concern that the growing ranks of part-time physicians could affect the projected physician shortage. "I'm not saying that this trend is good or bad, but the fact that more and more young physicians work part time and make other career decisions based on achieving work-life balance has not been thoroughly accounted for in calculating future physician workforce needs," says Marc B. Hahn, DO, the dean of the Kansas City (Mo.) University of Medicine and Biosciences College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Penchant for balance
Because both male and female medical students and new physicians say they value work-life balance, some contend that young women have been unfairly singled out for criticism. Although women in medicine are more likely than men to work part time to care for children, the desire for work-life balance is generational, not gender-specific, says university administrator Karen D. Johnson, PhD, who researched this topic for her doctoral dissertation. "I have found that both women and men are much more interested in choosing specialties and forging careers that include more balance than were prior generations of physicians," says Dr. Johnson, the vice president for university relations at Midwestern University in Downers Grove, Ill.
Rather than deploring this trend, Dr. Johnson thinks the medical profession should adapt to it. Medical employers should develop part-time opportunities for men and women physicians, she wrote in her dissertation. Given the growing number of part-time physician positions promoted online, the profession seems to be heading in that direction.
The trend has been a long time coming, observes one chief academic officer. "The quest for work-life balance among young physicians is admirable," says Robyn Phillips-Madson, DO, MPH, the dean of the Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine in Yakima, Wash. "This millennial generation values relationships, especially with family. As a result, society needs to redefine what commitment to practicing medicine means today.
"While those of my generation bemoan the fact that there is a lack of the 'level of dedication' that so many of us exhibited by ridiculously long work hours and time away from family, I've heard many express that they wish they had had the fortitude to draw similar boundaries."
But Dr. Sibert argues that young male physicians may say they value work-life balance but still work many more hours than female physicians on average when they begin practice. "In my experience, the young men are the hardest workers there are," she says. "They may talk a great game about work-life balance, but when push comes to shove, it usually doesn't work out that way for them when they get into practice."
Double standard?
When he hears complaints about female physicians who practice part time, Philadelphia anesthesiologist Michael Green, DO, is bothered by what he perceives as a "double standard." His wife, also an osteopathic anesthesiologist, works less than 40 hours a week so she can spend more time with their two children. While she faced criticism for reducing her hours, he has noticed that few people find fault with male physicians who practice part time for various reasons.
"When a man wants to get an MBA and decides to work two days a week in the operating room and three days in a week in an office somewhere, do people criticize him for contributing to a physician shortage?" Dr. Green asks. He knows one 36-year-old man with a family who reduced his practice hours by 40% to serve as the chief medical officer of a pharmaceutical company. While supporting his friend's choice, Dr. Green can't understand why that arrangement would be considered more acceptable than a reducing one's workload to care for kids.
Dr. Green also knows several men and women who are working part-time hours toward the end of their careers in anesthesiology, a physically demanding specialty. "One physician I know turned 69 this year and has been working part time for at least 10 years," Dr. Green says. "He tells me that his ability to work part time extended his career by several years. So in this respect, part-time practice is having a positive impact on the physician workforce."
The availability of part-time physicians can also help hospitals meet their needs more cost-effectively, Dr. Green says. "In anesthesiology, we have other physicians scheduling our days, and what they schedule determines our needs," he explains. "Having part-time employees gives us increased flexibility and allows us to reduce costs."
Strategic career planning
Dr. Sibert, who raised four children, says she understands the struggles of young women who are balancing medicine and motherhood. But rather than pursue part-time positions, women can find full-time positions in medicine that have manageable work hours, she maintains.
When her children were young, Dr. Sibert chose to work full time for a large academic medical department, in which many physicians shared call. "Unless you were on call, your days were very predictable," she says. "Now that my children are grown, I work for a private practice group, which is more lucrative, but my days are unpredictable. This would have been a terrible arrangement for me when I had young children."
Dr. Sibert believes that women in medical school are receiving bad advice and are being presented with a false dichotomy that they can either practice part time and have time for their families or practice full time and have no family life.
What's more, women who practice part time early in their professional lives often fail to realize how this will adversely affect their long-term career prospects, Dr. Sibert says.
"In general, women are cutting back their hours at the same time the young men who are their peers are putting in longer hours and taking extra cases," she says. "So the women are falling behind in terms of gaining experience, getting known in their field, working on difficult cases and developing a good referral base.
"If you enter medicine part time, you probably aren't going to advance or make top-tier pay. You're not going to get responsibilities. You're not going to get the most interesting cases. You're not going to be the go-to person. You're going to be looked at as ancillary."
The growing number of young women practicing medicine part time is already creating a backlash against other new female physicians, she says.
"One young obstetrician-gynecologist recently told me that when she was looking for a job, she was just offered part-time work, even though she wants to practice full time," Dr. Sibert says.
Unanswered questions
With the millennial generation of physicians just embarking on their careers, the full impact of their choices cannot yet be assessed. But some individuals in the osteopathic medical profession are speculating.
Today's young physicians, because they make more time for exercise and personal interests, may end up being better role models for their patients, Dr. Phillips-Madson suggests. "What will be most interesting to track is whether physicians' suicide, burnout and depression rates decrease as a result,' she says. "On the flip side, will the trend have a positive or negative impact on the health of patients?"
Dr. Phillips-Madson points out that the proliferation of part-time physicians could have adverse effects on continuity of care if precautions are not taken. She says some problems have already been noted among hospitalists and other shift-work physicians when patient handoffs are not handled carefully and methodically.
"Patients want physicians who will be there for them," Dr. Sibert adds. "They want to be able to get hold of and talk to you."
But given the high cost of medical education and exorbitant debt load of many physicians, some members of the profession suspect the trend toward part-time medical practice may be short-lived.
"With the tuition indebtedness that students have, working full time will probably be seen as the better option," says Jerry Cammarata, PhD, the dean of student affairs for the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in New York City.
The issue is complex, Dr. Dougherty acknowledges. She notes that her daughter, an osteopathic pediatrician, may end up practicing part time so she can spend more time with her new baby. Her previous practice arrangement forced her to work unreasonably long hours even while pregnant. When Dr. Dougherty herself was juggling medicine and motherhood, she relied heavily on her husband, who for several years was a stay-at-home father.
For Dr. Green, the issue boils down to the medical profession as a whole making room for individualism and self-determination. "I think it's OK for people to choose their own path," he says. "Not everyone fits the same mold."

I fully support physicians who choose not to work full-time. I was in solo practice most of my career. If had it to do over I would have worked less, not been tired so much of the time, and spent more time with my wife (who died of breast cancer way before her time) and my two great kids.

I think that the issue of extending careers needs to be looked at more seriously before bemoaning young physicians wanting to work part-time. When I graduate from medical school and finish residency, I intend to work less than the traditional 40-hour work week. I intend to do so in order to spend more time with my family, to be able to take care of my own health, and to try and avoid burn out, early death, and divorce. This article on Medscape, Physicians Are Not Invincible [http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/410643_2], shows that physicians suffer from a host problems due to the stress of their job. Why is it bad for young physicians to say, "I need me time, I need family time, I need to stay healthy"? Perhaps if we fostered a less competitive and less stressful environment for our profession, we would see the numbers in that article decrease and see more physicians living longer, more productive lives. Do not sacrifice lifelong productivity for short-term gains.

I support flexibility and part-time options for both men and women. I have worked part-time for 7 years in Internal Medicine. I still see complex situations, am available via phone even when not in the office, and have staff that work close to full time. I have experienced harsh comments by older physicians in the community regarding my career choices, but on the whole it has been a wonderful experience that has allowed me time to continue reading up on medicine, work out, care for my children, and volunteerism. Part-time options are the wave of the future and I believe medicine will have to adapt. Perhaps the workaholic physicians will notice that there are other (healthier) ways to practice medicine and that cutting back still allows success.

While I feel the profession of medicine demands a full-time commitment, the issue is rapidly becoming moot. As government takes over more aspects of healthcare, medicine is becoming a job, and physicians are becoming employees — very knowledgable employees, but employees nonetheless. There is a chasm of difference between a profession and a job.

I support a physician's right to choose when and where he or she wants to work. This article does bring up some great points though. Physicians are indebted to society; Medicare does indeed train all of us. And the next logical conclusion from this would be that doctors have a moral imperative not only to work full-time, but also to accept all insurance types and shun practices which accept only private insurance/cash.
Here is why I think this is wrong. (1) To be fair, the gov't gets something out of us too: namely, X amount of yrs as very cheap labour when we are residents. Hospitals that have residents have more research published, get ranked consistently higher via US News and World and other sources, and most importantly they have better outcomes for patients. So it's not like Medicare is getting ripped off: residents are an asset to hospitals. (2) Plus, with the average debt for a graduating medical student approaching $200k, I feel that new physicians owe society less for all the 'help' they receive. In other places in the world where medical education is more heavily subsidized, I think critics might have a stronger argument about public assistance.
And (3), because as Dr. Davies points out, we are human beings who have lives outside of work. Why should physicians be exempt from the right to self-determination? Instead of thinking about this as Patients vs Doctors, lets think of the needs of families too. Would children be better off with having more or less time with their mothers or fathers? (I should probably get back to work so I'll leave all of the sexist inferences for someone else to comment on.)
My condolences to you and your family Dr. Davies

I graduated in 1972 and became board certified in OB/GYN through an Air Force residency. Times were different, and we had 2 women in our class of about 100. Now things are much different. I spent the last 17 years of my life practicing in a huge HMO (Kaiser Permanente) where many worked part time. I also spent 8 years in private practice and 10 years in the Air Force.Our new OB/GYN's now are all women and most work part time either because of family or other interests. So, I can see both sides of this issue. Patients prefer "continuity of care" in most medical issues. They want someone they can call or see almost any time. However, the culture has changed, and people are not as respectful of a physician's time. People now feel you should be available 24/7, and this is unrealistic. Also, the pace of practice in an HMO is fast and heavy. One can get very burned out, very quickly. In private practice I was available 24/7 and patients loved it. But, I couldn't plan any trips or time with family without being interrupted. In the HMO, we had schedules, and could take days off and switch call around. So I was able to take even 2-3 weeks at a time off, even working full time. The culture of medicine is changing also, and the profewssion is now becoming a "job." Profession implies being available for patients and selflessly giving of oneself for the patient's benefit. Medicine is now so complex, and patients so used to getting what they want when they want it, I think the part time style of practice will be the dominant way. It is more expensive–part time employees also get many "full time" benefits. But in the long run, as medicine becomes ever more subspecialized and doctors want time off, the HMO style with full time and part time positions, and scheduled time on and off will be the way medicine goes.

After sacrificing home and family to go to medical school, complete internship and residency without much choice at all – young physicians should be given the choice of how to schedule their careers. I have been amazed at the lack of flexibility in our systems. Naively thought I would have control over my time once I jumped through enough hoops! Maybe instead of bemoaning the shortage of physicians, we would stop the glut of physicians retiring early or pursuing nonclinical careers if more emphasis on balance was given. Those potential physicians in undergraduate training might be more likely to pursue medicine and in particular primary care if there were a true committment. You can have it all – you just can't necessarily have it all at the same time!

I fully support physicians who decide to work part time. Don't let attitudes/articles like this make you feel guilty for making the most out of your life & family and not sacrificing your life to your career. Medical professionals are not indebted to society- we paid VERY good money & accumulated enough debt to receive the education we did. We are servants to society, not slaves to society.

I work part time and it enables me to provide better care for my patients. Frankly, I don't get burned out as often and this is obvious to my wife, children, and patients. The field of medicine needs to change and adapt. Those that don't like change should retire.

The physicians in the article bring up the important point of citizens paying for a significant portion of medical education (and undergrad ed for that matter). Is there a moral obligation to pay society back? What about countless physicians whose entire education is highly subsidized by taxpayer and then earn millions focusing their entire practice on breast implants and other elective procedures? Are they "taking up a slot?" This is largely an economic issue. The answer is economic. Everybody has the right of self-determination. Citizens should not be forced to subsidize another's education, especially when this education leads to a relatively stable and lucrative salary. Then we would see who goes into medicine and then goes part time. Also, the artificial restrictions into the medical field and regulations are causing the shortage, not doctor's choosing a better lifestyle. We have chosen to live with those regulations.

How many hours a physician works does not have a bearing on their ability to provide good medical care. They in fact may be healthier and more satisfied and therefore more productive than their counterparts.
Most who have had state or federally funded scholarships have had to serve time working in a region or at a facility as part of the "repayment" of those funds.
Kudo's to physicians who take the time to lead a balanced life. We should be the best examples of how to live a healthy life-style, which the old school model of working 80-100 hours week, on call, running to the hospital before and after office hours. What many physicians consider part time, is still often a 35-40 hour work commitment, which is the normal full time schedule.
The world has changed, patients drop physicians the minute the health plan changes and their doctor is out of network, the loyalty, or long term patient physician relationships in the primary care world have changed dramatically.
The data is out there on the high burnout rate among physicians, the high depression and suicide rates, the high rates of being dissatified with life and work, so why do we attack our own who are making choices to not burn out, to not be dissatisfied and who want a healthy balanced life?

Forcing doctors to work more than they wish will only lead to burnout and early retirement. Plus, it's still a free country and I hope it stays that way.

We live in America folks, it's a free country. Medicine doesn't have to mean the same to me that it does to you. I don't have to have the same motivations that you have. I think the larger problem is people who think that because they are doctors they are qualified to tell others what to think and how to live their lives. You have no such qualification Dr Sibert, you might just consider getting over yourself.

What country is this that someone gets to tell anyone what's best for their work life balance? It is better for someone to work and then have depression and get FMLA? And what about retiring physicians that their last words are usually in the realm of "make time for your family." Never did I hear "work more or harder" from an 80 year old doctor. Also most physicians are at the prime of fertility, most will work part time to later work full time. At 26, I made the to choice see my child more than an 1 hour a day 6 days a week. Is that wrong? If you are religious, I am not guided by the medical community. In the end, giving my child the best me and then subsequent generations is what I think the "pearly gates" are about; not whether I spent 24 v 28 v 32 patient hours a week with strangers. I did do a good deed after all and made it dance class! Lastly parents and caregivers who work part time NEVER are part time. Absolutely insulting and ludicrous!

the female doctors in the article specifically gripe about women who take time off to parent. how dare they. and to claim that THEY raised thier own kids while working full time-when actually probably the nanny did or the husband did, but one thing is for sure, they (the women) did NOT as one cannot working 80-100 hours/week. great comment by another poster here that not one mention was made in the article about men who work part time in order to pursue other degrees or admin jobs. this shows an obvious sexual discrimination and should not be tolerated. this sect of medicine-the ones who comdemn motherhood specifically-must be removed like a tumor.

on Jan. 4, 2013, 9:08 p.m.
My wife is a physician who happens to work "part-time." What really saddens me about this article and its thinking is that its premise was developed by someone who should understand more than anyone why people make the decision not to work full time- another doctor. I could count on some MBA bean-counter in a corner office to come up with this analysis, but this doctor has stabbed the rest of you in the back.
I have often ended up in protracted conversations with my wife and her doctor friends about how horrid the medical profession is and how the health care systems they work for suck the life out of them. I work in higher education and the kinds of things done to you doctors, even as early as your residency training, are appalling. At least academic professionals have unions to help fight for their sanity, but you have no one. On top of that you don't fight for yourselves. You let patients take advantage of you and abuse your practices, allow people without medical knowledge to dictate to you how much your time and services are worth or how much time a service or visit should take, and then you allow other doctors to dare question your personal decisions regarding how you decide to run your own life.
I honestly don't think you all know what full-time means. You all know it certainly does not end with the time you spend seeing patients- then you have call, charting, phone calls, reading to stay current, and most of the systems you work for just "include" this time without bothering to try and actually quantify it. My wife works part time so that she only ends up committing approximately 45 hours a week to her profession. If she saw a FT patient load, it would easily be 60 hours a week, and no one would object to that nor offer her more money.
I have been with my wife since college- I was by her side through all of the education and training (I was just smart enough to get off the pre-med train and seek out something else. I have no debt…she $170K just from medical school.) I applaud all of you for keeping our country well and say thank you for all you do- you are not thanked enough for your sacrifice. But I want you to fight more for your own rights. Take back the steering wheel of medical care in this country. Don't defile another resident, humiliate another intern, subject someone else to what you were subjected to. You deserve better…and you are the only ones that can drive the change. -

Dear "A Doctors Husband": Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is so nice to hear a voice of reason when I live in a world where I constantly hear the Twilight Zone theme in my head. Shame on you Dr. Sibert. It's nice to know I am not the only physician who had the same guttural response of disgust superimposed upon fury after reading this article. The previous commenter is on the right track, doctors need to start fighting back against the insurance companies, against the government, and against the legal system to take our profession back. If we all band together it would be interesting to see what would happen, and how the nation would function without us. Sad thing is, the majority of us are too beaten to fight the fight. People like Dr. Sibert, who obviously has lost touch with reality, compound the problem, pitting doctors against doctors. It's that old school thinking "I had to do it so you have to do it", no matter how rediculous and senseless the requirements are. It makes me wonder if she doesn't have any liberal political aspirations. Sure seems so.

I am a female family physician and have practiced for over 20 years. In training and in my practice life I have been around too many of these "workaholic" physicians who sneer at anyone who doesn't work as hard as they do. Most, sadly to say, had personal lives that were basically crap. I agree that a career in medicine is a commitment, and we have an obligation to society. For me, having a family and actually spending time with them helps me to be a better physician. I attend my children's school plays, band concerts, sporting events, and I feel sad for doctors who give all their time to Medicine. I have always worked full-time, but I worked urgent care when my children were young. That gave me more days off to spend entirely with my family, but it also meant 12-14 hour days where I didn't see them as well as weekends and holidays. I would love to have worked part-time, but never had such and offer nor could we have afforded it. My husband stayed home with the children most of these years, and he still does. We just couldn't coordinate taking care of the children with us both working outside the home. We had no family or friends to help with the child care. Some doctors may not have the luxury of working in a different job situation that affords more family time, as I did and as the one writer in this article states she did when her children were young. Part-time may be their only alternative. I think part of being a good physician is relating to people, and I think a big part of that comes from being involved in life away from Medicine and by sharing the same life experiences. Besides, the doctor who initially works part-time may eventually work full-time. Who's to say the young doctor who takes a full-time slot won't eventually go to part-time? We are human, we have accidents and diseases, sadness and depression, heart attacks, MS, cancer…..need I go on? If society thinks they own us, and we have to commit every day of every year of our lives to paying them back for educating us and taking another's spot…… then I am done now. As another person commented, some doctors don't ever even practice clinical medicine. They go into research, teaching, insurance reviews, administrative roles, etc. Why should this be "allowed"? After all, they took a slot too.

I think primary care is very difficult. Long hours, lessening reimbursement, much administrative work. Thank you to those of you who understand the difficulties and encourage us to take back our lives. I'm trying to do that.

Doctors should definitely be able to work 1/2 or 3/4 time. In this day, where some studies have shown that the majority of Docs are suffering from burn-out, and other studies have predicted a shortage of up to 65,000 docs by 2015, more and more should be done to encourage docs young and old to not quit practicing completely.
Working full-time as a physician actually equals 65-80 hours per week, which in the normal world equals two jobs. A part-time doc is probably working 35-40 hours a week, which is what regular people call full-time. Just because we're Doctors does not mean we have to give up our families, friends, and phsical and/or mental health.

When I finished pathology residency in the mid90s part-time work was not an option. Even when I experienced issues with trying to juggle major family health problems and making enough money to support myself and family later in 20teens, financially I needed to work full-time as working locums and part-time as an academic physician did not pay the bills.
As younger physicians encounter the realities of a poor economy, the current political health care climate and paying off education loans there will be less of a part-time work force.
I support those physicians who can work part-time, but I dont expect it to be a common reality. -

By the time I pay off my educational debt, I will have paid close to a million dollars. Sometimes I paid interest rates above 19%. I am in rural primary care and no, it was never my plan too be a small town girl making it big in the city. Many, many teachers with subsidized state education work less hours, only part of the year and have retirement plans and vacations that i cannot afford. Every nickel I've earned has gone to servicing my usarious debt. I don't think anyone has the right to tell me how many hours I need to work. A better solution might be to select different candidates….those more interested in being slave labor? If the profession is unhappy with the product their educational system has produced, then perhaps they need to do some self reflection. Look at admission/selection process. I must work until I die so I must pace myself.

I'm confident physicians pay far more in state income tax and sales tax and generate much more tax revenue with their small business practices than they are subsidized with in education state tax dollars. The issue is even more irrelevant for physicians who graduated from private institutions. What an odd position to consider.

All I can say is wow! Coming from a DO school we should practice what we preach and not judge others that want to work part time if they feel this is best to have a balanced life.

Is there any scientific proof that spagnum peat is a type of fertilizer, found in potting soil, and has been known to cause humans, such as forrestry workers and garden nursery personnel to contract a fungus known as Sporotricosis?
Sporothrix schenkii is a fungus that commonly grow on plant material. The classic case is found in gardeners who work around roses and prick themselves on a thorn and get a red swollen lesion that can spread up the affected extremity. This yeast is a dimorphic fungus which means that at room temperature it is in the mold phase and will appear "fuzzy". At body temperature it is in the unicellular yeast phase and can become a systemic (whole body) disease. I imagine that this fungus can be found in peat moss as well.

A Benefit for the NorCal High School Mountain Bike League, MCBC's Off-Road Advocacy Program, Acess4Bikes, and Recreation Solutions
June 6-7, 2015
We're already working on the 2015 version of what we're hoping to be a constant part of your race calendar.
Everywhere At Once
The nice folks at the Tamarancho Dirt Classic approached us last year about taking over management, production, porta-potty ordering, and other glamorous tasks associated with putting on the sole mountain bike race in Marin. The weight of this event has been on a few shoulders and we're happy to be able to step in and share the load for a little while.
The important stuff hasn't changed: the Tamarancho Dirt Classic is still a fundraiser for the NorCal High School MTB League, Marin County Bicycle Coalition, Access4Bikes, and Recreation Solutions.
One Day Becomes Two, Added Value For You
Right off, we worked on expanding the event to a two-day race weekend, adding a short track race on and a 'Chainless Race' on the famed Flow Trail, both on Saturday. Don't be sweatin', though. Both efforts shouldn't tax you enough to ruin your big time performance on Sunday's XC event.
We also removed the USAC license requirement for Tamarancho, so leave the race card and this one last excuse on the bedside table, by the little kangaroo.
Mo' stuff: expect a flattering race t-shirt, rider meal on Sunday, and, for a wee bit extra, Saturday night camping, dinner, and breakfast.
Dirt Short Track Race
The Dirt Short Track race will start 12 pm on Saturday. Just shy of 1 mile long, with a perfect mix of single track and fire road sprints, riders should expect 30-60 minutes of solid grunting and heaving. There are no prize or medals for this event, but we will post times and get you all some podium-style recognition for your good efforts. For you charming Strava-ites, here is the course. The official map is also available for poring over and obsessing shamelessly. If a category gets too full (e.g. around 40-50 riders), we will break it up by age groups. See categories and schedule below.
Cost: $15, any category
Categories | Start Time | Laps | Time |
Juniors Under 14 | 12:00 PM | 3 | 15 min |
C's (Beginners) | 12:30 PM | 6 | 20 min |
B's (Intermediate and Ladies) | 1:00 PM | 8 | 30 min |
A's (Pro/Expert) | 1:45 PM | 10 | 30 min |
Chainless DH Race
This is a downhill race. Whoever gets to the bottom fastest wins. Simple, right? The next part is easy too: no chains are allowed on your bike. If you show up to the start line with a chain on your bike, wrapped around shiny cogs and rings, we will tattoo the name of the event on your bike, Kafka-style. Chainless means chainless or, alternately, no chain.
The idea here is that you'll test your bike handling skills, primarily your ability to generate momentum by pushing/pumping your bike through turns and over small rises in the Tamarancho Flow Trail. We're advising dropping that post a bit for optimized center of gravity and all racers should consider additional arm, leg, elbow, knee, and face protection for this (and any other) downhill competition. Before the start of the race, a qualified, stylish mechanic will take your chain off and place it in a ziplock bag so you can ride down the course with it. Another mechanic, equally fashionable, will help you put the chain back on at the bottom.
This is a time trial event: we capture your start time, capture your finish time, and subtract the difference. We're keeping it casual for year one with only one Men category and one Women category. In the same casual spirit, we won't have pre-listed start times. As you come to the line, you'll be sent off, all at one minute/60 second intervals. Since this is a late-hour add-on, we're not offering medals for the winners, but will post the times and make sure people know that you brought the magic in your respective categories. Click here to check out the route/map on the Strava (actual start/finish may vary slightly).
The Chainless Race specifically benefits further trail development in Marin County via Recreation Solutions 501(c)3, the company that built and will continue to maintain the Tamarancho Flow Trail.
Cost: $15, any category
Start is at 4pm sharp at the top of the Flow Trail. There will be signage and helpful people from registration to direct you to the top of the trail.
Cross-Country Race
The Tamarancho Dirt Classic XC demands skill, a steady heartbeat, and a less-than-heavy breakfast. Miscalculate any of those variables and you may find yourself making a poor showing, especially on that climb up the famed Dead Heifer hill. If animals used to lose their lives going up this thing, you know it's no anthill.
Expect a 7.7 mile lap with about 1,300 feet of climbing. Pros and experts get ready for three spins around the track, and for those newer to the sport, one lap should feel just about Goldilocks-level right. There is a singlespeed category, but please be kind to your knees and set yourself up with a nice spinny gear. Click here for a MAP and here for STRAVA segment. Please do note that there is a small singletrack shortcut that allows racers on their second or third lap to bypass the start line. Otherwise, the laps are precisely the same throughout the race.
Cost $60, any category, with a $10 discount for racers 18 and under.
Categories | Start Time | Laps |
Wave 1 (Beginners & Juniors) | ||
Junior Men 18U*
Junior Women 18U* | 9:05 AM | 2 |

Open Singlespeed | 12:15 PM | 2 |

*Juniors can race in the beginner categories if they would rather race 1 lap instead of 2.
What You Get
Registration for the XC race will net you a commemorative shirt; a hot, catered rider meal (Sunday only); three-deep prizes and medals for podium for the XC race (but not the Short Track or Chainless Downhill races). If you'd like to get the full Tamarancho experience, there will be camping and dinner on Saturday night, hosted by Access for Bikes (A4B), the organization that's on the receiving end of your camping and dinner fees for that night.
10:00 am — Registration and packet pickup is open. Riders can register for any race at this time, just for an extra $5.
11:30 pm — On-site registration for the Dirt Short Track race closes.
12:00 pm — Dirt Short Track races start. See schedule above for category start times.
3:30 pm — On-site registration for the Chainless Downhill race closes.
4:00 pm — Chainless Downhill races start. Riders go off at one minute intervals in the order that they arrive to the start line.
7:30 am — On-site transfers and packet pickup opens. $20 to transfer on-site.
9:00 am — XC races start
11:00 am — Food arrives
11:30 am — On-site transfers for XC race closes
3:00 pm — Podium ceremonies begin. We'll do it earlier if we can.
4:00 pm — We're done. Go home. Or stay and ride more. But we're probably going home.
Prizes and Awards
We said it above, but we'll say it again: Anyone nailing down a top three spot in any category for the XC race can expect a medal, prizes, and a brief moment in the sun atop our lovely podium. We'll do a podium recognition for winners of the Short Track and Chainless Downhill races as well, but will not be able to offer medals or prizes for these events.
Camping/Saturday Dinner
We're offering camping on Saturday night, which is a no-brainer for anyone doing more than the XC race. For $20 a person, you get camping and parking, which is a hot commodity at the venue any day. Kids under 16 are free, so bring the family. You'll be the first for pre-rides, and have a rare morning sunrise normally only available to Boy Scouts, squirrels, and denizens of the woods. Spots are limited, like everything, and you'll want to register ahead of time. You can do this on the registration form just like everything else. There will be no camping registration on-site. Get it done now.
We'll also have a hearty dinner as well as a bagel/coffee breakfast will be available for sale on-site for all campers. That's an additional $15 for adults and $10 for those under 16 years of age. Like we said, all camping and dinner fees go to benefit A4B.
Be Prepared (motto credit: Boy Scouts of America)
We have a couple of rules disguised as suggestions:
- PARKING. Parking is very limited. If you'd like to park at Camp Tamarancho itself, you can purchase a parking pass via the online registration form. Otherwise, you will need to park in the town of Fairfax and ride/walk (we recommend ride) up the fire road to the top of the camp. Here is a map of where paid parking is as well as some other areas you maybe able to park. Please respect the parking signs within the town of Fairfax.
- TAMARANCHO PASS. To race in the event you will need either an annual or day Friends of Tamarancho pass. You can purchase a day pass through online registration or you can purchase one on-site. To purchase an annual pass visit here.
- REGISTRATION. You can register online for any race, or register on-site for any or all of the three races (XC, Chainless Downhill, and Short Track). There will be an $10 additional fee for registering onsite. This year, you will NOT need a USAC license or USAC day pass.
- PRE-RIDING. Though some of the course will not be open until the day of the event, we recommend you pre-ride via riding the regular Tamarancho loop. Many of these trails will be incorporated in the race. Some of the areas are technical, and getting to know the features and characteristic of the park will make race day a little less puckerish.
- NO DOGS ALLOWED. Sorry folks – dogs must be left at home. We know, we know. He's more than a pet, he's more than an animal. You all have a bond, a love, a truly deep companionship. That's a beautiful thing, but it's not a variable here. No dogs are allowed at Camp Tamarancho.
- NO ALCOHOL. No alcohol is allowed at Camp Tamarancho. Don't get sneaky, this rule will be enforced, and could cost us future access to this venue.

Great Product!
Names Written in the Sand Save the Date Cards I have never ordered anything before from magnet street, so I was a little apprehensive at first. But these save the dates exceeded all of my expectations! I will definitely be ordering more products in the future!
Names Written in the Sand Save the Date Cards I love the product and the packaging it came in. Very happy with the quality of the product. Would definitely work with this company for my invitations.
Elegant Save the Dates
Paris Appeal Save the Date Cards My fiance and I went to a number of invitation shops and received quotes for Save the Dates and Invitation suites for 50-75 guests in the price range of $1,500-$3,000. Ridiculous. We went to MagnetStreet. We worked with their designers and were able to modify a design and make it our own. We were able to order samples to see and feel our design before placing and paying for our full order. Our Save the Dates are beautiful!! We used the Pearl Luxe paper. It has a beautiful sheen and feel, and the paper weight is great. The quality and service is unbeatable. And, I know because I tried working with the pricey invitation designers. They were slow and ridiculously over-priced. Using MagnetStreet will allow us to personally design our own Save the Date and Invitation suite for less than $500. Leaving us an extra $1,000-$2,500 in the budget to go towards other wedding costs. I highly recommend MagnetStreet for quality, service, and promptness - 3 of the most important things to a Bride while wedding planning. Thank you MagnetStreet!

Names Written in the Sand Save the Date Cards I love the save the date cards we ordered from magnet street. They are very cute and fun. Everyone we have sent them to has commented on how much they like the names written in the sand. I recommend the magnets over the cards. They are on peoples refrigerators everywhere we go (better quality too). I ordered some of the labels that match the cards and wish I would have gotten more. The whole thing was adorable.

LogMote is a unique application that will store all of your login information for various websites on your phone, making logging in on websites significantly easier. This application is great for those who bounce around between personal and public computers over the course of their day. It is also great for those who use complicated passwords and don't like typing them out every time they log into a service.
What is it and what does it do
Main Functionality
This application is designed to automatically transfer your login information from your Android device to any computer that you may sit down at. It is designed to make it so that you do not need to manually enter your login information whenever you are are a new computer.
Essentially what LogMote does is it stores your login information on your Android. Then when you are on a computer, you use your Android to send the login information to your computer and easily login. The following video demonstrates:
- Store login information for any website
- Connect to computer easily via unique QR code
- Automatic login to websites once you scan QR code
- Recover information in case of theft
- Requires browser extension or Logmote software on desktop computer. Only works with Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. No Internet Explorer and Opera support.
It seems as though the trend of password-less authentication is starting to pick up as more and more people begin looking for more secure methods to access their most-used web services. While, LogMote doesn't use any new technology to bypass passwords in general, it does however provide a solution so you don't have to manually enter your information. Essentially, all of your login information for any website that you want is stored on your Android device. Then once you sit down at your computer, all you have to do is scan a QR code, and you will be able to access any service you have predetermined without manually entering any personal information. This is a good way to do things because it protects your data from anybody that might be watching your computer screen.
You will be able to store data from any web service that requires a username and password combo, which is more or less every website on the internet. The QR code that you scan is completely unique to you, so you don't have to worry about other people being given the opportunity to have access to your personal information. Once you scan your personal QR code, you will then be given a list of services in which you have your login data stored for. All you have to do is click on your service, and you will be logged in, without have to manually enter in any data. The application itself is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems running Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Safari web browsers. This means that no matter what combination your target computer is running, you're covered.
While LogMote is a very simple application and in fact very functional, there is one major downfall in the application's functionality. In order for you to be able to automatically log in to web services, the computer must either have LogMote's desktop software or LogMote's browser extension installed. For Chrome users, this won't be a problem as Chrome syncs browser extensions between computers using the same profile. Even Mozilla is set to add this functionality is the next release of Firefox. However, for Internet Explorer users, it is going to be rather inconvenient to use public computers as most of them do not allow the installation of 3rd party software. This means you have to install the browser extension on each and every computer you use.
Conclusion and download link
Overall, LogMote is a very functional application and will be very convenient for those who are able to sync browser extensions across multiple devices. If that ability is not present, then the service may actually cost you more time than it is actually worth. There is a premium subscription that will backup all of your data in case your phone becomes lost or stolen or if you simply get a new one. This type of authentication is growing very popular and will undoubtedly become a stock feature in a variety of technologies in the coming years.

I have been browsing online greater than three hours as of late,
yet I never found any fascinating article like yours. It's pretty worth sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content material as you probably did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before. -
Fastidious replies in return of this matter with real arguments and telling all regarding that.

As many know, by the end of this year all HERS Raters & Field Inspectors (RFI's) in good standing must complete a three prong CAZ training & testing requirement (assuming it was not part of their original training).

So you have decided you want to earn or become a LEED AP. There is just one small issue, unless you have or are working on a LEED project, just how are you supposed to gain the experience & show documented involvement on a project registered or certified for LEED? (AKA a letter of attestation) As some well know, finding or being able to gain the needed project experience can be a rare opportunity. Fortunately though, the chances for many looking in have an opportunity through a…

Whew, as of yesterday (April 22nd) and taking the ENERGY STAR V3 test (long story short – the test was not available when I took the original class), that is it for the test taking (Since posting this, I had to take another 2 tests & classes for another program I am working with - will the madness ever stop?).

Paris art heist: The alarm that didn't sound, the dog that didn't bark
A day after the $123 million Paris art heist, revelations emerged that hinted of an inside job. A malfunctioning alarm was too quiet for guards to hear.
Jacques Brinon/AP
A day after the stunning $123 million heist of art that Paris authorities now say was not insured, fresh revelations are beginning to echo loudly in efforts to reconstruct how five modernist masterpieces could have been stolen in early dawn hours Thursday.
Apparently, the alarm at the Paris Museum for Modern Art was too quiet for guards to hear.
While Paris city authorities, including Mayor Bertrand Delanoe, said Wednesday that the museum's alarm system was malfunctioning, deputy mayor for culture Christophe Girard elaborated today on the point. He told journalists that the device that shrieks the alarm was essentially not working – a substantial argument for an inside job, since the thief would have had to know the circumstance.
Even more embarrassing, the malfunctioning alarm was reported to security company Spie on March 30 but had yet to be fixed.
IN PICTURES: Famous art heists
Five of the world's most famous representative modern paintings were stolen when the thief sawed off an outside window grill lock, removed both the window and its frame, then took 15 minutes to slice the canvases out of their frames. An internal CCTV camera caught for a few seconds a darkly dressed, bulky figure wearing a ski or skull cap, before he adroitly avoids the camera's radius – suggesting familiarity with the security system.

As you read this, several dozens of long, cardboard boxes, imprinted with the Titleist Script, sit in the back of a delivery truck en route to Arnonimink Golf Club just outside Philadelphia, host of next week's AT&T National PGA Tour event. They were all shipped from the same place, the Titleist Tour Deparment in Carlsbad, Calif.On Monday morning, our Titleist Tour Reps at Aronimink will begin opening those boxes, each one marked with the name of a player in this week's AT&T field.
Inside the boxes: Prototype Titleist AP1, AP2, CB and MB irons (712 Series), which are being introduced on the PGA Tour this week for testing and seeding as part of our performance validation process.
(Please note: "712" is the series designation. Titleist has long used 700 numbers for irons, just as we use 900 numbers for metals. Accordingly, the "7" stands for irons, while the "12" stands for the new model year, 2012.)Over the last few weeks, the Titleist Tour Department has been focused on building these iron sets to the custom specifications of our Titleist Brand Ambassadors.This week at AT&T, members of the Titleist Leadership and R&D teams will begin working with our players to show, explain, fit and test the new irons, a process that will continue over the coming weeks across the worldwide professional tours. The feedback we receive during this validation process influences the design and specifications of the Titleist products available in golf shops around the world. We will continue to provide behind-the-scenes information and product details here on the Team Titleist blog throughout the seeding and performance validation process. Click the photo below to view images of the first builds and shipment of 712 prototype irons from the Titleist Tour Department and some recent testing out at the Oceanside Test Center.

Grégoire Leon Guillemin's 'The Secret Life of Heroes'
Over the last week or so, French pop artist Grégoire Leon Guillemin has been posting a new series "The Secret Life of Heroes" to his Tumblr (careful now, there's some NSFW content at that link). The Pop Art-influenced work offers glimpses of iconic superheroes captured in the sorts of candid moments you'll probably/hopefully/thankfully never see in a comic book. If you like them, he's also selling prints via Society 6. More examples below:

Colorful candidates vie to lead Russia's Olympic city
The crowded race for Sochi mayor may signal a backlash against Putin's 'managed democracy.'
It's something Russia hasn't seen in quite awhile: a wide-open, unpredictable election in which a full spectrum of colorful, disputatious candidates compete by debating the issues and canvassing the voters.
Many observers fear it won't last.
But for now, the Russian public's attention is riveted on the more than 20 contenders vying for the job of mayor of Sochi, the once magnificent Soviet-era resort city on the Black Sea that was falling into oblivion (read story here) until then-President Vladimir Putin convinced the world to hold the 2014 Winter Olympics amid its nearby towering mountains and lush, subtropical beaches.
The Kremlin, which is footing much of the $12 billion bill for staging the Olympics in Sochi, had apparently hoped that the city's acting mayor, Anatoly Pakhomov, a solid member of the pro-government United Russia party, would simply walk back into the office in the April 26 polls without much fanfare.
But in recent days, almost two dozen candidates have piled in. Suddenly, it's become an interesting spectacle – and a real horse race.

I love my luxury products and was pretty chuffed when Incipio sent me their premium leather sleeve for my new MacBook Air 13-inch. It's made from real leather which instantly feels fantastic when you touch it. It has a lovely suede lining on the inside to protect the MacBook Air.
Unlike many other leather products which require some wear to easily slip in and out, I have no trouble getting my MacBook Air in and out of it. It's a tight fit, but not tight to the point where it's difficult to pull it out of the sleeve.
The sleeve is pretty thick, has quite a bit of padding either side. It's perfect for everyday protection and maybe even a drop or two – though I'm too scared to try that.
It's not cheap, at $79.99, but then nor is your MacBook Air. Why buy a cheap $10 sleeve which makes your MacBook look cheap, when you can buy a luxurious leather sleeve which actually adds some protection but also looks bloody brilliant.
MacBook Air Premium Leather Sleeve by Incipio – $79.99
