Good evening
I got my Pumpkin . As I was very excited to start carving it, we got torrential rains.
So now I watched 1 episode of BONES, and 4 episodes of LONGMIRE.
I usually do not watch TV, but we TIVO AND AMAZON AND HULU and ROKU.
Well I do not but my family does.
So I slept late, like an Angel. ( As my friends know I am not an angel). But I got out of my arm splint and started therapy today. Shooting range in 2 - 3 weeks I am back for my lessons.
The fall leaves are spectacular in my area. Breathtakingly so. Until my next note, be safe and watch over all your friends back.

Annelies of Amsterdam is our guide
She took us to her home town for cosmo's ride
Amsterdam is a city of canals so wide
Where everything is open, not much to hide
The treasures of art, deep sea and culture
She showed with pleasure and with pride
A replica of maritime venture converted
in to museum
A floating Chinese restaurant on low tide
The four major canals, representing past Prince and empress for political
Gentleman And single are reflective of the social profile
The ancestors struggled so hard to build a city of canals and ventured so far
In Far East to Indonesia to spice their lives with clove, cinnamon and pepper
With the magnificent past, present lessez faire

Novelists Richard Powers and Evan Dara are often grouped together because they both write lengthy, info-packed narratives that draw heavily from science. Some have even gone so far to speculate that Powers is Dara. For an example of this, see Steve Russillo's page documenting his reading of Dara's second novel, The Easy Chain (see our review here):
And speaking of speaking Dutch, let me be the first to posit that if
Evan Dara isn't a distinct individual but a pseudonym, that the
pseudonym belongs to Richard Powers. So much detailed discussion of the
Netherlands (and specifically the Dutch language) abundant scientific
details, few chapter breaks, AND if you've read Power's book Gain and the Lost Scrapbook, I challenge you to miss the astonishing similarities in story and feel. (Lost Scrapbook's release predates Gain's
by just over 2 1/2 years, so it might just be that Powers is massively
influenced by Dara. But it wouldn't surprise me, is all.) [28SEP08 Addendum:
Near the top of page 172: the first and only appearance in the
narrative of the novel's title occurs shortly after the italicized line
"What could be easier?" Which is either an homage to Powers's Gold Bug Variations
("What could be simpler?" is not only the first sentence of GBV but is,
essentially, the last line as well.) or just another small but
interesting coincidence.]
Powers did in fact blurb Dara's first book, and he seems to be a fan (as does William T. Vollmann). However, I have to highly doubt the Powers/Dara speculation. First of all, let's just wield Occam's razor and conclude that the similarities between their interests are more likely to be due to mutual influences or mutual circumstances than pseudonyms.
But there's another reason why I don't think they're the same person: if Richard Powers could write like Evan Dara, I don't see why he'd write like Richard Powers. I don't mean to knock Powers, whom I regard as a very solid novelist, but Dara's stylistic abilities are far more advanced than his. If Powers really is Dara, then he has no business writing anything more as Powers.

Venezuelan President and presidential candidate Hugo Chavez talks during a news conference in Caracas September 5, 2012. Venezuela will hold the presidential elections on October 7. (REUTERS/Jorge Silva)
WASHINGTON: President Hugo Chavez and his rival in next month's election in Venezuela need to provide mutal guarantees to calm deeply polarized voters and avert post-electoral violence, the Carter Center said Friday.
But so far the campaign backing Chavez, who has been in power for 13 years, is failing to do this. "Rather, it is more confrontational," said Jennifer McCoy, Americas director for the human rights foundation created by former US president Jimmy Carter.
Chavez's rival is Henrique Capriles, a former governor backed by a coalition of opposition parties.
Conditions that could lead to violence exist when people feel that if their candidate loses, they might stop receiving social benefits they had been enjoying, be excluded or suffer reprisal from the winning camp, she said.
"Hopefully, the candidates will try to avoid these kind of scenarios," McCoy said at the Wilson Center, a Washington-based think tank.
Capriles is seeking to "reassure those people who have been benefiting from the previous 13 years that these benefits will continue."
The Carter Center has acted an observer in past Venezuelan elections but will not do so this time.
In fact there will be no international observers at the Oct. 7 vote, although many local and highly experienced civic groups will monitor the election, McCoy said.
The Carter Center will do so informally, and is working on a program with Venezuelan news outlets to try to minimize polarization between the pro-Chavez and pro-Capriles camps.
"When it comes to the news media, the polarization that appears in political life is not only reproduced in them, but the media are being dragged in and are a fundamental part of this process of polarization," said Jose Woldenburg, an analyst and former adviser at Mexico's Federal Electoral Institute.
He said that on one hand, the Venezuelan electoral system in and of itself is trustworthy. But the society is deeply polarized and there is no level playing field for the opposition campaign, said Woldenburg, who was part of a delegation that visited Venezuela recently to evaluate the election situation.

UC San Diego Tritons (6-13, 3-11 MPSF) at No. 7 Cal State Northridge Matadors (9-6, 7-6 MPSF)
Friday, Mar. 8, 2013 - 7:00 p.m. PT
The Matadome (1,600) - Northridge, Calif.
Live Stats: GoMatadors.com
Streaming Video: GoMatadors.com
Audio: GoMatadors.com (Mark Schuermann - PBP)
In-game Twitter updates: @GoMatadors
After a historic weekend in Hawai'i, Cal State Northridge (9-6, 7-6 MPSF) returns home for a single match this week as the seventh-ranked Matadors host UC San Diego (6-13, 3-11 MPSF) Friday at 7 p.m. CSUN, which swept a season road series from the Warriors for the first time since 1991, and UCSD will meet for the second time this season. The Matadors, 6-3 at home this season, won in straight sets on Jan. 25 in La Jolla.
Follow Cal State Matador volleyball online at the official online home of Cal State Northridge athletics, www.GoMatadors.com. Select matches, including Friday's match will feature live video and audio with Mark Scheurmann handling the play-by-play. Fans can also follow the Matadors at Twitter.com/gomatadors and YouTube.com/northridgeathletics. Fans can view and print the Matadors 2013 Record Book online at GoMatadors.com. The guide features statistics and a complete men's volleyball history. Selected Cal State Northridge matches, including Friday's CSUN-UCSD match, will be streamed live at GoMatadors.com.
After three straight weeks holding down the number eight ranking, Cal State Northridge moved up to a season-best seventh in this week's AVCA Coaches Top-15 poll. With two road wins at No. 11 Hawai'i, the Matadors received a season-high 150 points this week, an 11-point improvement over their season-best total. Cal State Northridge has now been ranked in all 10 polls this season and 181 of the last 193 weekly polls dating back to the 2002 season. The last time the Matadors were unranked was a period of 12 weeks (Feb. 7-May 2) during the 2011 season. BYU (13-3) took back the top spot this week as the Cougars received 14 of 16 first-place votes and 268 total points. UC Irvine (15-4) dropped to second this week collecting one first-place vote while third-ranked Long Beach State (13-4) received the lone remaining first-place vote. Stanford (12-6) and Pepperdine (9-6) round out this week's top-five. UCLA (11-9) is sixth this week followed by the Matadors (9-6), Lewis (12-5), Ohio State (12-3) and Penn State (14-3). This week's top-15 is filled out by Hawaii (5-12), Cal Baptist (7-9), USC (4-9), UCSB (7-12) and Pacific (5-9) ... CSUN remained eighth for the fourth straight week in the Volleyball Magazine Top-10 Poll. After receiving a season-high 30 points two weeks ago, the Matadors also earned 30 points this week. CSUN has now been ranked in seven of the nine Volleyball Magazine polls this season.
UC San Diego (6-13, 3-11 MPSF), which travels to No. 3 Long Beach State on Wednesday, lost at No. 12 Cal Baptist (3-0) and at home to No. 2 BYU (3-0) last week. The Tritons have now dropped two of their last three and seven of nine since defeating Princeton on Jan. 30. UCSD is 1-5 in road matches this season, last winning at Hope International on Feb. 22. Senior outside hitter Carl Eberts leads the Tritons offensively averaging a team-high 3.33 kills per game. Eberts put down a match-high 15 kills against BYU on Saturday. Sophomore opposite Cheyne Hayes adds 2.51 kpg for the Tritons who are hitting .227 as a team. Friday's match is the 74th meeting all-time between CSUN and UCSD with the Matadors dominating the series 66-7. Northridge won the first meeting between the two teams, 3-0 in La Jolla behind 14 kills from John Baker. The Tritons snapped a 40-match Matador win streak with a 3-1 win Northridge last season.
The Matadors picked up their blocking in the two matches in Hawai'i. CSUN set a four-set season-high with 15.0 total blocks against the Warriors on Sunday. The Matadors also had 10.0 total blocks in Friday's win and have now out-blocked 10 of their 15 opponents this season. That formula has proved successful as CSUN owns a 9-1 record this season when winning the battle of the net. When the Matadors are out-blocked they are winless in five matches. Senior Jared Moore ranks ninth in the MPSF in blocking at 1.14 per set while fellow senior Drew Staker is right behind at 1.08, good for 11th. As a team, the Matadors are out-blocking their opponents by a margin of 158.5 - 136.5 or an average of 2.64 - 2.28 per game. With 30 solo blocks, CSUN has nearly twice as many as its opponents (17).
The Matadors officially got the second half of the conference season off to a good start with the pair of wins in Hawai'i. CSUN has now played 13 of its 24 conference matches and is 7-6 just past the mid-point. The Matadors are just one game out of the MPSF's top-four with Stanford and Pepperdine currently sharing fourth-place at 9-6. CSUN, which is one-half game ahead of UCLA (7-7), is one of two teams that have played 13 league matches.
If the Matadors are to secure their second straight berth in the MPSF Tournament in late April, CSUN will have to win on the road. Last Friday's match in Honolulu opened up a stretch where the Matadors will play nine of their final 13 regular season conference matches away from The Matadome. CSUN, which evened its road record at 3-3, will play four of its next five at home before embarking on a regular season-ending, six-match road swing. The Matadors will honor their three seniors (John Baker, Jared Moore and Drew Staker) prior to the BYU match on Mar. 22.
Last weekend CSUN did something it hadn't done in 22 years, win two matches in Honolulu. Friday's 3-1 win marked the Matadors' first win inside the Stan Sheriff Center since 2003 and with Sunday's identical 3-1 win, CSUN claimed both matches for the first time since the 1993 season. Prior to last weekend, CSUN was 3-17 (.150) in Hawai'i between 1992 and 2012.
By hitting .312 in the two matches against Hawai'i, the Matadors have upped their team hitting percentage to a near season-high .278. Following the win over Pacific on Feb. 16, CSUN was hitting a season-high .285 as a team ... With their next win, the Matadors will reach double figures in victories for the 35th time in 37 seasons of men's volleyball at Cal State Northridge. Only on two occasions has a Matador squad failed to post double figures in wins (1999, 2011) ... The Matadors will face an unranked team for the first time since January when UC San Diego visits The Matadome on Friday. CSUN has played 11 straight ranked opponents since sweeping Grand Canyon on Jan. 18. UC San Diego was ranked 12th when the Matadors and Tritons met on Jan. 25 ... Kyle Stevenson came off the bench and recorded a season-high five blocks against Hawai'i on Sunday. The sophomore also matched his career-high with two assists and one ace while also hitting a season-best .500 in 14 swings ... Senior John Baker put down team-highs of 19 and 15 kills in the Hawai'i series and has now been CSUN's leading hitter in six of the last seven matches. Baker has led the team in kills nine times this season while junior Brandon Lebrock has led five times. Stevenson has been the kill leader twice while redshirt freshman Sam Holt led the Matadors with 18 kills at BYU on Feb. 2 ... The announced attendance of 2,715 and 2,573 were the two largest crowds CSUN has played in front of this season. The Matadors also played in front of 2,318 in a 3-1 loss to top-ranked BYU on Feb. 2. Northridge's largest home crowd this season was 962 against Pepperdine on Feb. 8.
Having become Cal State Northridge men's volleyball's all-time winningest coach during the 2010 season, Jeff Campbell is closing in on the latest milestone win of his 16-year Matador career. Having earned his 225th career win in Northridge's 3-0 win at UC San Diego on Feb. 24, 2012 Campbell now has a career record of 241-212 (.531). He reached the 150 and 200 career wins over the last four seasons and now sets his sights on his 250th career win. Currently, the third-longest tenured head coach at Cal State Northridge (men's golf coach Jim Bracken is in his 27th season & men's basketball head coach Bobby Braswell is in his 17th season) Campbell has posted double figure win totals in 14 of his 16 seasons on the bench and notched a career-best 24 wins in 2009.
Friday's match against UC San Diego opens up a stretch where CSUN will play four of its next five inside The Matadome. The lone road match during that stretch comes next Wednesday, Mar. 13 when the Matadors travel to UC Santa Barbara. Northridge then returns home for its final homestand of the regular season Mar. 15-22 against UCLA, Cal Baptist and BYU.

Dabney S. Lancaster Community College has scheduled a second National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) Instructor Certification Course for various industrial craft areas on Saturday, March 22, from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm in Room 380, Scott Hall, on the DSLCC Clifton Forge campus. The instructor will be Earl Dodrill, director of the NCCER Initiative for the area.
This one-day course includes an introduction to NCCER training and adult learning, using NCCER standardized curricula and teaching strategies, says Dodrill. "The workshop format will help the instructor understand the NCCER process, program administration, and the documentation associated with it," he adds. " Each participant will provide a 10 minute presentation on selected materials from the NCCER ICTP text." The NCCER Instructor Certification Test will be given within an individual's craft, verified by experience and practice.
Applicants must provide documentation of experience and practice by resume, earned training certificates in selected field, and/or other documentation prior to the class date.
Adds Dodrill: "We are seeking part time instructors for Millwright, Pipefitting, Carpentry, and related fields. This class may be a good place to gain a better perspective on what is required to teach and gain an industry recognized certification within a craft area."
Enrollment is limited to ten participants. There is no tuition fee, but participants are asked to register through the DSLCC non-credit program by calling (540) 863-2863 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Registration will be taken on a first-come, first-serve basis; the course number is MANF 1108-M2K. For more information about the class, contact Dodrill at (540) 863-2902 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Day 4 (May 29th)
Up at 9 AM, it was time to start the 3-day journey home. The first day was a short trip up the Blue Ridge Parkway and a few stops, but my plans fell apart. The first stop was supposed to be Wheels Through Time, but they're not open on Wednesdays. The second stop was supposed to be Grandfather Mountain, but I didn't have enough time. More on that later.
By the time I was packed and ready to head out, it was about 10 AM. The Texas ADV guys were heading up the BRP too, so I hung out a few minutes more waiting for them.
We got underway about 10:30, but ran into trouble almost immediately. Leon (aka FocusFrenzy) sprung a coolant leak and headed back to Kickstand Lodge. Since I had a GPS, Jeff (aka TossingLead) and Dave (aka TWTourist) followed me to Cherokee. After gassing-up, Dave decided to head back to Kickstand Lodge to help Leon with repairs. Dave was heading to Virginia Beach, so we headed up the BRP.

The Parkway offered spectacular views, but the tunnels sucked. I was wearing sunglasses, so I was damn-near blind going through them. All I could do was just aim for the middle of the road and pray a cyclist wasn't in there with me.
We made one stop mid-morning at the high point.
And stopped at Asheville for lunch. By this time, the three and a half days on the saddle were beginning to take their toll and my ass was pretty sore. Dave's GPS was telling him he was heading further away from his goal, so we said our goodbyes and he prepared to head east on I-40. I went in search of WalMart to buy an ATV seat cover and an air mattress. Almost an hour later I was back on the road, but not feeling better. I was glad for the seat length so I could move around, but I still couldn't get comfortable. I found myself making extra stops to get off the bike.
At the Craggy Gardens overlook, I met Damian from Argentina, who was touring on his BMW. Unfortunately, he had broken down, but some other riders had his rescue underway.
Views from the overlook.
Getting back on the bike, I only made it 50 miles to the Linville Falls Visitor Center before I had to stop again. Nature called and as I'm sitting there trying to figure out why I'm so sore, I look down and it finally hit me. It was my underwear. When I ride, I usually wear moisture-wiking compression shorts. On all my previous, single-day trips, I never had them on long enough to have a problem. But now, the seam of the shorts was creating wear marks and irritation. Not having anything else to change into, I just decided to go commando. What a difference. Within 30 minutes, all the pain was gone and I rode the remainder of the trip without any issues.
Maybe next time, Grandfather Mountain.
18 miles out, I see my goal for the evening, Stone Mountain State Park, North Carolina.
Another view from 9 miles out.
I got to the park around 8 PM and found out they close at 9. And they really do mean closed. They lock the gates and campers can't leave until 8 AM. I asked the guy at the campground check-in for a place to eat. He mentioned a general store just outside the park. Good enough.
The wood rats were out. The other day at Kickstand Lodge, I had mentioned to someone how improbable it was to hit a deer. "Like a bullet hitting a bullet," I said. Soon enough I would eat my words.
Stone Mountain General Store
I had a 5/8th of a large pizza and something called Cheerwine. Turns out it was a cherry cola, which I don't care for, but I drank it anyway.
Heading back to camp, I once again set up in the dark, but glad to have an air mattress. I chugged two Porters from a few nights ago, hoping it wouldn't have the same effect, took a shower, and went to bed.
298 miles for the day and 1228 miles for trip.

Day 5 (May 30th)
I woke at 7:30 AM with the hopes of hitting the road early since today would be my longest ride of the trip. Not bloody likely. After an extended trip to the bathroom (damn beer again) and packing, I was ready to head out around 8:30 AM.
Wanting a better photo of Stone Mountain, I rode around the park, but could not find a clear view. This annoyed the hell out of me because I had been here before and seem to recall parking right at the base of the slab. For those that have never heard of it, Stone Mountain is a popular rock climbing destination. It picked up the nickname, "Home of the Running Belay," because of its routes. With a lot of space between bolts, the belayer (person holding the rope) would sometimes have to run away from route to remove slack before the climber hits the gound. Oh, well. No photo and 30 minutes wasted.
Heading back up to the Parkway, I passed over the Eastern Continental Divide.
Not wanting to stop for pictures and not wanting to take anymore video (I already have 2.5 hours to go through), I set my GoPro to take pictures every 30 seconds. Here's a few of the interesting ones.
Towards the end of the BRP, I took time to explore Fire Road 162, a well known jeep trail.
Before long I was at the end of the Parkway. Since there was no "leaving" sign, I bagged the "entering" sign at mile marker 0.
From there, I took I-64 to Staunton. Most people heading to West Virginia and Ohio know that US-250 is a great motorcycle route that snakes over the parallel hills of the Appalachians. Fewer would know that this is part of the Staunton and Parkersburg Turnpike, a road laid out in the first half of the 1800s to connect tidewater Virginia to the Ohio River valley. Fewer yet know that several sections of the Turnpike were bypassed by US routes and still exist today as gravel roads. My plan was to travel the original route from Staunton to Parkersburg. Finding the original route wasn't too horribly difficult. With street names like "Old Parkersburg Turnpike" and "Old Pike Road," it was easy to plan the route and find 26 miles of gravel.
The classic hill and valley topology of the central Appalachians.
At the VA-WV border, I got a two-fer.
Back out on the bypassed gravel, I found a Civil War-era Union camp. Given the strategic importance of the road, there would be several skirmishes along its length.
I also stopped at Travellers Repose, the first stage coach stop west of the mountains.
Leaving the Turnpike for now, I headed north on WV-28 for the Seneca Shadows campground.
The sun was quickly setting in my mirrors.
At 8:45 PM, the little bike that could turned 5. I marveled at how 40% of my total miles had been put on in the last five days.
Making the last push into Seneca, I was about 7 miles out when my luck ran out (or I got really lucky, depending on your point of view). I was riding along at about 50 MPH, when all of a sudden a deer jumped out at me from the right side and passed in front. I honestly don't think I even had time to react. Before I knew it, my bike was doing violent oscillations down the road. I knew it didn't hit it broadside, so I must have clipped her back legs. Soon enough, the bike settled down as a result of the gyroscopic force of the wheels and I kept it upright. As soon as I was able to, I turned around and went looking for it. I didn't see anything, so I turned around and went back north. On the way, I noticed I was having no physical reaction at all. No adrenaline dump, no fast breathing, nothing. What did this mean? Was it Army training or years of World of Warcraft that prepared me to deal with stressful situations?
Rolling into Seneca it got kind of spooky. There was a heavy fog and a lot of leaves and small twigs down. I would find out later an isolated thunderstorm cell had moved through the valley. I pulled into town about 9 PM only to find they rolled up the sidewalks at 8. I was lucky to find a few guys parking a school bus in the parking lot of a motel. I asked if they knew any places to eat and one of them gave me a gallon ziploc of crackers, chicken salad, and juice boxes. Oh, well. At least I wouldn't starve.
I headed over to the campground to find the attendant station empty. As I pulled out my iPhone to confirm my campsite, another motorcyclist pulled up next to me. He asked where I was camping and then led me to the spot. Turns out three kids from Richmond were camped there, so he led me to an open site next to his. We made our introductions. Patrick Hough was a Quality Specialist, junior hockey league (NAHL) scout, and racer. I pulled out my phone to call the wife and found I had no service. Pat immediately offered the use of his van so I could go down the road until I hit coverage. Awesome guy! I drove for six miles without finding a signal. Pulling into a business to turn around, I checked for a wifi signal on a whim. Lo and behold, they had an open network. I sent a text to my wife, but figured she'd not see it until morning, so I posted a message on Facebook asking friends to give her a call. Having done my due diligence, I turned around and went back to camp.
I set up my tent and then ran into Pat coming back from the camp with the three kids. Turns out he also bummed food from the same guys earlier, but he had hot dogs. We went back to their camp and cooked a few more hot dogs. Free food never tasted so good!
About midnight I said my goodbyes and went to sleep.
390 miles for the day (new record) and 1618 for the trip.

Day 6 (May 31st)
Getting up at 8:30 AM, I packed up and thanked Pat for his hospitality.
My tent
Tent with rainfly removed to show air mattress and mummy bag.
Pat was camera shy, but here's his CBR929RR
Heading into Seneca Rocks, I stopped by Harper's Old Country Store. Catering to campers and rock jocks, this place has just about everything.
Next door is The Gendarme Climbing Shop and Seneca Rocks Climbing School. My wife and I were students at the school about 18 years ago. She and I summited Seneca Rocks twice, once with an instructor from the school and once by ourselves.
Seneca Rocks, rising 900 feet off the valley floor, is the highest point east of the Mississippi that can only be reached by climbing.
From there, I headed 48 miles down WV-28 to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank.
Since my Army job involves satellite communications, I have a thing for large parabolic antennas. The Green Bank Telescope (on the left) is 100 meters (328 feet) in diameter. I'd love to get a closer view.
Heading back up WV-28, I continued where I left off on the Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike. After nine miles of pavement, it was time to hit some gravel and explore Cheat Summit Fort.
Coming back down, I found some puddles and the 100-year old Cheat bridge.
Back on asphalt, I got to Beverly, West Virginia and stopped at the local visitor center. This building served as the Union headquarters for most of the Civil War.
Inside, I asked for information about bypassed portions of the Turnpike, but they weren't able to tell me anything I didn't already know. On the way out, I asked for a recommendation for somewhere to eat. I was told that Mama's Kitchen was a mile down the road on the right.
Finally, someone hit one out of the park. This place rocked! I had the special: beans, home fries, ham, and cornbread. It was delicious and more than I could eat. I'll definitely stop here again.
Heading due west, I left the US-250 and took the original route over the hill. At the top, half way through a 4-mile gravel road, I found a marker for the Battle of Rich Mountain.
Coming down off the hill, it was back onto the paved portion of the bypassed route, heading for Buckhannon, West Virginia. That's when the shit hit the fan. Here's the report I sent to my Commander:
I took some pictures, but out of respect for Tom, he does not appear in them. Out of respect for those that are squeamish, you'll need to click the photos to see them.
EMS loads him into the ambulance
From the damage to the red truck, it looked like he clipped the front end as she was turning in the opposite direction and crushed his leg between the bike and her bumper.
Lots of blood.
This is the pool that collected under his leg. Best guess is that's 18-24 inches long and 12 inches wide.
His boot and sock were cut off by EMS.
According to the local TV station, "the driver of the truck was cited for failure to yield to the right of way."
Now a few hours behind schedule, I got back on the road and only stopped to take a few more pictures.
The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, one of the largest hand-cut stone masonry building in the US.
Floodwall at Point Park in Parkersburg.
The Parkersburg-Belpre Bridge and my first sight of Ohio
I stopped by Ohio's smallest church (seats 8) to say a small prayer for Tom.
From there, I headed up the entire length of OH-555, aka Triple Nickel. With lots of twisties and rolling hills, some think this is one of Ohio's best roads. But the spot patching and potential for gravel in the turns gets a thumbs down from a lot of riders. I enjoyed it all the same. It was really cool to wave to the Amish (and have them wave back) as they were working in their gardens and fields.
Just as I got to Zanesville at the end of 555, I saw a familiar sight. Anyone that's spent time in the Midwest has seen the evening thunderstorms that roll in.
Checking my weather radar app, I saw I had little time to find cover.
I hauled ass to the nearest McDonalds for dinner and wifi. The rain stopped after an hour and I got back on the road. By now it was about 9:30 PM. The last bit of historic road was National Road, the first improved highway to be built by the federal government, and the straightest damn road in Ohio. Unfortunately, it was too dark to take pictures, so you'll have to settle for a file photo.
Taking a quick detour through downtown Columbus, I took a picture with the city skyline.
From there, it was a short ride home. Pulling in at 11:30 PM, I had 384 miles for the day and 2002 miles for the trip.
Mission complete.

Hey Joe (where you going...) Sorry, but I hear those words and I can't help hearing Hendrix!
Anyway, nice ride and nice job helping out that rider!
A question and a comment:
What camping gear were you using and what would you change? Assuming you would change anything.
Took a ride to Skyline Dr and The BRP with Swingset last year and we ended up at Rich Mt. I got some strange looks while up on the pegs of my ST1100 going up that road . I spent a little while climbing around those rocks trying to find some of the Confederate memorials but couldn't find any.

Just read the whole report, Joe, looks good.
Did you submit that report to your CO because you used Army property (IFAK) or?

My sleeping bag is part if my issued 3-layer sleep system. I just stuffed the lightest layer into a sack and left the rest at home.
The air mattress was a slim, cot-width unit. Worked perfectly, but almost rolled off it a time or two.

The secondary reason was to document the field loss of the tourniquet. I'm hoping my supply sergeant can hook me up with a replacement and not make me pay for it.

Thanks for stopping and helping out. You are certainly right. Had the tourniquet not been applied properly, the outcome may have been different. I know that the current business of the military has put higher demand on recurrent training for "buddy aid". Judging by what I read, great job. I'd call it a significant contribution with the proper application of that tourniquet.
If you catch shit from supply, I'll gladly pay for it myself. Let me know the NSN and I can probably source several for you... I know a few airmen here at my local military installation that would help a brother out.
Thanks for sharing the ride with those of us that are home/work bound.
Stay safe.

Ryan Kelly's career day shows why he makes Duke a title contender
Mar 2, 2013, 8:38 PM EDT
We heard just before the game today that Ryan Kelly would play for Duke against Miami, but we had no idea that meant he'd put up a career-high 36 points in a 79-76 upset of Miami, the ACC's top team.
It's easy to think that Kelly's importance to Duke has been exaggerated as he sat, nursing a foot injury that has kept him sidelined since January 8. His performance at Cameron Indoor today proves he is every bit the key player his teammates have made him out to be. Kelly hit his first shot – a three-pointer – after just two and a half minutes of play, and he never looked back or looked anything less than fully healthy the rest of the way.
To recap: Kelly was 10-14 overall, 7-9 from deep, and 9-12 from the stripe. He snatched seven boards – six on the defensive end of the floor – and came up with a big steal in the final minute as Miami was setting up for a potential go-ahead shot. Kelly defended everyone from Shane Larkin to Kenny Kadji on a night when most thought he'd make a token appearance as part of a cautious recovery effort.
The stat line tells the tale of why Duke became beatable while Kelly was out, and again looks like a title contender with him on the court. When Miami doubled Mason Plumlee early in the game, Kelly drained the long ball. When the 'Canes started edging out to harass Kelly's perimeter shots, Plumlee was able to dunk, board and hit the putbacks he can get easily on single coverage. Defensively, Kelly employed his long arms and quickness to bother shots all over the floor, and he snagged a crucial steal in the final minute that ended an attempt by Miami to tie the game or take the lead.
It's not a stretch to say that Ryan Kelly is the crucial piece in Duke's title hopes right now. He's not the star – tonight's scoring explosion notwithstanding – but he's the guy who gives the stars an extra inch or two to operate, and denies that same real estate to opponents. That can be the difference between ending play in March and ending play in April.

how is it an upset when you are a top 5 team playing at home
- imwhitewolf - Mar 2, 2013 at 9:35 PM
I am a hardcore Blue Devil fan. When first read the frist paragraph I had the same thought but I believe it was a slight upset. Miami is an excellent team. Lots of upper classmen, three 5th year seniors and a sixth year one also. They are going to be a very difficult out for somebody. With a healthy Ryan Kelly so will Duke.
That said, welcome back Ryan. Your performance today will go do as one of the greatest in NCAA history. Well deserved.
- florida727 - Mar 3, 2013 at 9:06 AM
More "upended" than "upset". But the important point here, I think, is that it just confirms how great a coach Coach K really is. He handled Kelly's injury, along with their medical staff obviously, perfectly. Didn't rush him back (especially in an era where the fan base pressure to win every time out has to be incredible). Maybe even sat him out an extra game pointing to the importance of this one. Kelly was obviously ready, 100% healthy, and will be a force the rest of the way and into tournament play. I'm not a Duke fan per se, but this was good to see. If anyone doubted Duke's chances for a run at another national title, those doubts should have been erased last night. Give Miami credit too. They're not going away anytime soon. Lose by 3 in one of the most difficult places in the country to play? On neutral courts, they're going to be very hard to beat. This will do nothing but motivate them.

Thread: Oil Mediums
November 26th, 2002 #1
Oil Mediums
Hey all,
I recently started painting in oils. Right now I'm just putting the paint on straight, with a bit of liquin when I need it to spread better. Liquin seems to work fine in that respect, but doesn't really add to the "quality" of the paint, if that makes any sense. I plan on playing around with turp, linseed oil, and varnish when I get some time, but I was wondering if people wouldn't mind posting their favorite mediums or combination of mediums, and why. Also, does anyone use different mediums for different stages of their paintings? I.E. do the underpainting with turp, and then switch to something else for the rest? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm a total newbie when it comes to oils, but i'm really really interested in this medium, for now i'm learning with gouache and acrylics but i will spend some money on good oils for christmas ...
for now, with the little things i think i know about oil, i would do my first washes with oil diluted with turp, and then dilute less and less (quite the way i do with acrylics, fist washes with lot of water, and less and less ...)
but i have no idea about the use of linseed oil, or varnish ... and i would be really happy too if other people would add their knowledge to this post
November 27th, 2002 #3
turp really isn't a medium. it breaks down the oil, like soap to oil. it's not a binder at all. i use it at the beginging of a painting when i'm sketching stuff, and even then, i don't use it straight, i usually dip alittle linseed oil or another medium with it. and after i get the sketch and a few things blocked in, i stop using the turp entirely, (only dip the brush in to clean some paint off)
because of the stink, i use mineral spirites more than turps now, the brand i use is turpinoid ( ) catsup!
anyhoot. here are some really nice mediums i've used or continue to use.
this stuff from wn called oliopasto. it's an impasto medium that makes the colors jump. it's awesome stuff and comes in a tube. it's not too expensive but the smell makes me dizzy. i think it's made from the same stuff liquin is made of , some alkyd. (liquin has colbolt in it no?) speaking of alkyd, the current stuff i've fallen in love with is Galkyd (sp?) it's from gamblin, the guy that thinks he's batman, naming everything after himself. galkyd is like linseed oil but will become tacky within a few minutes, so if you like working on 2 hour old paintings, this is the stuff to buy. it's nice for glazing because it turns most colors transparent. unfortunitly, it yellows like mad.
Plain old linseed oil is a pretty good medium for stability i guess because well, your paints are probably made of the same stuff. but i find it's too thin and watery. So i get the thicken linseed oil, it's good stuff, feels almost like stand oil (boiled linseed oil) but it's not, it dries much faster and handle alittle better. again it's great for colors!
the oposite of these shiny mediums is wax. wax medium is nice if you want a matte finish. wax is actually better than oil because wax is forever. and as your painting you can actually feel the strokes. but becareful not to put too much with your paint.
there's all sorts of other oils like poppyseed or hmm, i can't remember the darn name, but they put it in whites. those oils can be used as mediums because they're really clean and clear. unfortuntly they become very brittle after a while.
alot of people mix their own mediums from the usual suspects, damar vanish, turp, oil.
it's best to stay with one medium for an entire painting. for example, start sketch with turp, block it in, it'll dry in a few minutes, and then use linseed oil as you paint.
edit- it's not such a hot idea painting with damar varnish because who knows? maybe in the future you might want to clean your painting. the varnish comes off during restoration. :beer:

wow, thanxs a lot for these infos
very helpful
December 1st, 2002 #5
Hey, thanks Jrr! That was helpful. Next paint I do I'll try turp and linseed oil as opposed to liquin. Good to know that damar varnish doesn't restore well, I'll avoid it as I'm anticipating a need for badly rendered paintings of fruit 300 years from now.
Hehe, probably common knowledge, but I was looking at the ingredients and just realized that mixing turp and liquin results in a low-grade napalm. Gotta remember not to check my art supplies as carry-on next time I fly...

i heard prussian blue has a bit of cynide in it. :evilbat:
December 3rd, 2002 #7
Yeah, and cadmium is supposed to kill you too. Probably wouldn't want to spread it on your sandwich.
December 3rd, 2002 #8
i also start out with oil thinned with turp for the underpainting. then i use just straight oils, no mediums. one thing you need to know is that linseed oil slows down drying, and liquin speeds up drying. liquin will make your painting dry usually within 24 hours or so. if you start your paintings using a lot of mediums, the surface will become very slick, and your colors will get muddy and it will be hard to lay down your paint. that is one reason i dont use them. the only time i do is when i want some small, sharp details. or unless i am using the lift off technique.
another thing to know if you are working on a painting over several days. you will notice that when your painting drys it will lose its luster and saturation of color. in order to bring it back to life you need to "oil up." to oil up i use a mixture of both linseed oil and liquin and then coat the whole painting. this will bring back your colors. MAKE SURE YOUR PAINTING IS DRY BEFORE YOU OIL UP!! after you oil up, it will feel like you are painting on wet paint, so laying down paint might be a little slippery.
a little note about varnish as well. as jrr said, you can take the varnish off a painting using turp. you have to do this if you want to paint some more on a painting. an alternative is to use retouch varnish. after using the retouch you can still paint on top of it. the draw back is that retouch varnish will bond with the paints you mix it with, and if you try and remove the varnish (for restoration for example) some of the paint will come off with it. another way to varnish a painting is to use liquin. the drawback of liquin is that you can not remove it. also, in terms of archival purposes, you are supposed to wait 6 months to a year before varnishing your painting. some people say that there is a window of opportunity that will allow you to varnish before that. it is when the painting is dry to the touch, but actually not totally dry underneath. they say that is 2-3 weeks after you do the painting. if you miss that time though, you might as well wait the 6 months. also you are not supposed to use really thin oil underpaintings with turp if you want your paintings to last for 500 years....

Hey, thanks a lot. I tried starting a painting with turpeniod tonight; it was a very enjoyable experience. In a way, it felt kinda like watercolor, I dunno. Thanks for the advice.
December 9th, 2002 #10
err.... you didn't use the turpinoid throughout right??
December 9th, 2002 #11
Nope, I just used it to block in the basic shapes, then switched to straight oils.

How funny that I would stumble onto this topic during my first visit to this board. You see, I've recently discovered the joys of oil on paper. I'd tried oils several times before this but had never really gotten into them. I've always been a watebased kinda guy. But this semester I decided to try priming watercolor paper (over a fixed drawing) and painting over it with oils, using htem like a more transparent media. I got the idea from James Gurney's illustrations (yes, the Dinotopia guy.) The think is I frigging love it. Even more than watercolors. And yes, I've been using turpenoid (gamsol actually) as my thinner. I've heard from a couple people now about how since I'm using a solvent as a medium it's breaking down the pigment etc. etc. But the truth is that I really like the way it looks. Now what are the downsides to this? Will the painting degrade over time? I'm not really worried about that. Has anyone actually done this and had negative experiences? Oh and I tried this on canvas and it was horrible. Didn't work at all. It's a much different experience working on primed paper. Does anyone know of an oil medium that feels and acts like water/a solvent? I use dstand oil and hated it. It was like painting with molasses. Galkyd was a little better but was still to thick and oily for my taste. Any suggestions/opinions?

Hey Dromond,
Sounds like fun. What did you use to prime your paper?

Oncogene mutation hijacks splicing process to promote growth and survival
- Posted: June 3, 2013
An international team of researchers – led by researchers from the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research and the Department of Pathology at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine (home of the Moores Comprehensive Cancer Center) – has found that a singular gene mutation helps brain cancer cells to not just survive, but grow tumors rapidly by altering the splicing of genes that control cellular metabolism. The findings are published online in the journal Cell Metabolism.

Samsung's new ATIV Q tablet runs Android apps in Windows 8
June 21, 2013 | 1:30 pm
The mobile OS wars rage on, but Samsung seems to be hedging its bets with the recently-unveiled Ativ Q tablet. The 13.3-inch (3,200 x 1,800 HD resolution) ATIV Q will run on Windows 8, but have the ability to switch to stock Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean without needing to restart the device. Photos and other data will purportedly be transferable between the OSes, and Android apps can even be pinned to the Windows 8 start screen. The tablet also features a convertible design with a built-in QWERTY keyboard, able to be turned into a tablet, laptop, or video player with adjustable stand. Pricing...
Location-based Learning with Wikipedia Nearby

Wikipedia is getting in on the location-based services bandwagon with Wikipedia Nearby, a new Web application that provides uses with articles based on their proximity to the user. Available for both mobile and PC, the app takes advantage of MediaWiki's relatively new GeoData extension, which connected geo-coordinates to a central API that programmers could query to build stuff like this. The foundation is hoping Nearby will attract new editors to the Wikipedia fold, as users will be able to provide their own photos and updated information of nearby places-of-interest on-site.

The fourth annual National Day of Unplugging is upon us, running March 1-2 from sundown to sundown. Go outside! Spend time with the fam! Bake some cookies! Whatever you choose to do, don't spend the NDU staring at any screens. How will you spend your National Day of Unplugging?

Roaming black bear cub spotted at USF, moved to tree near Busch Gardens park before tranquilization
TAMPA - Wildlife officers tranquilized a black bear cub that was holed up in a tree near Busch Gardens early Tuesday morning.
The bear, that came all the way from Citrus County, was first spotted roaming the University of South Florida campus at midnight., officials said.
The Florida Wildlife Commission had been tracking the bear since it was seen in Land O' Lakes last Friday.
The bear managed to get near the main entrance of the Busch Gardens theme park off Busch Blvd.
Officials tracked down the bear in the tree and surrounded it to ensure that it wouldn't pose a threat.
The crew tranquilized the bear, shooting it twice, before taking it into custody. Busch Blvd. was closed for about half an hour as officials trapped the bear.
The bear was identified as an animal from the Casawiska National Forest in Citrus County.
It will be transported to Apalachicola National Forest.

Get ready to grillNow that summer is nearly here, we asked readers and some meat experts for their grilling tips.
Now that summer is nearly here, we asked readers and some meat experts for their grilling tips.
Readers say:
"I have never used any sauces on the grill, nor will I ever. Sauces just ruin the meat. I cook pork tenderloins that I buy from Sam's and chop them to my specifications. I cook polish sausages, boneless chicken breasts, regular bone-in chicken, beef ribs, ribeye steaks and salmon. I never cook hamburgers or hot dogs on the grill."
Experts say:
B&B Market in Cloquet: (218) 879-3555
Kim Schmitz of Cromwell has been a meat cutter at B&B Market in Cloquet for about six years.
Q: What do you believe is the best cut of meat for grilling?
A: "Boneless ribeye. It has the most flavor on the grill and it's as tender as any other of the high-quality steaks. It's one of the top steaks, minus the tenderloin; nobody can beat that." Boneless ribeye average between 14 ounces and a pound and it's the cut of meat Schmitz brings home for grilling.
Q: Do you marinate or not?
A: "I don't marinate; but I do season the steaks with a little bit with Lawry's Seasoning Salt and garlic powder. We do this at B&B. At home I use lemon pepper and garlic salt."
Q: Do you have a tip for cooking chicken breasts?
A: "Cook it slow and indirectly; use low heat on a gas grill. The same is true with boneless pork chops. B&B also has a butter-garlic chicken marinade that's great on the grill."
Q: I've read that meat should be brought to room temperature before grilling. If yes, why?
A: "Absolutely; it helps break it down a little bit more; helps it to be a little bit tender." Schmitz added, "Steaks and roasts will cook a little bit longer after you take them off the grill; let them rest for a few minutes; this process allows the meat to soak up some of their juices again."
Superior Meats: (715) 394-4431
Mike Cragin of Carlton is the manager of Superior Meats butcher shop.
Q: What do you take home to grill?
A: "Ribeye. It's the most flavorful steak; it's fattier than the others but it's very tender and you get most of the flavor from the fat itself."
Q: Do you marinate or not?
A: "A ribeye I won't; but other things I will, like chicken and pork. For chicken I like butter-garlic marinade or tomato basil. Lemon pepper is very good, too. Every once in a while I'll do a teriyaki marinade."
Q: Gas or charcoal?
A: "Charcoal. I had a gas grill but I just
didn't like it. It was very convenient, but I like the flavor of charcoal."
Q: Refrigerator to grill or counter to grill?
A: "Bring the meat to room temperature. When you throw a cold steak on the grill, it will draw a lot of the juices out. When it's at room temperature more juices stay within the meat because you don't have to heat it up as much."
Q: How do you know meat is done without cutting into it?
A: "It's experience; I can kind of tell. Never use a fork to turn steaks over; that will puncture them. Just use tongs. After a while you can press and feel the firmness of the meat and you'll get to know when they're done. You absolutely don't want to cut into them so those juices stay in."
Q: Best way to do fish?
A: "I don't do fish much because I don't like it, but every once in a while I'll do salmon because my fiancee likes it. Last time I grilled salmon, I marinated it in a lemon-garlic marinade. You place the skin side down and put it right on the grill. Tuna and blue marlin I'll turn with tongs, but not salmon. The tuna and marlin are OK to use tongs with; they'll hold up because they cook up similar to a steak. When the fish starts getting a little flaky, it's done."

Win $100,000 investment from Ketel One vodka for a killer gentlemanly idea
We don't often post stuff like this but when there's chance to win $100,000 investment then we thought this just might be of interest. Ketel One vodka has launched a project to find "one original idea that champions the lifestyle of the modern gentleman" and which exemplifies "a higher standard of thinking and living." Five projects will be taken forward to a public vote with one scooping the main prize so if you're a designer with a killer idea and an intuitive understanding of the modern gentleman then we reckon it's got to be worth a punt? Actor and philanthropist Ian Somerhalder, co founder of the Movember movement Adam Garone and actor Carlos Ponce will be on hand to help mentor the chosen few.
Entries close on Sunday, July 29. Good luck!

Eddie and Jan Black, from Cardenden, Fife, were shocked when they were handed the gold framed message from Barack and Michelle Obama.
The letters are normally only given to American citizens who reach the marriage milestone.
But Eddie, 70, explained that his son Steven, a professor, who has lived in Augusta for more than 20 years, had managed to get the message from the Obamas through his wife Leslie, who had contacted the Governor of Augusta.

"The immigrant population has been growing since the 80's and I don't see it stopping," Tina Howlett, former president of ARKTESOL said.
About 40 percent of the population in Northwest Arkansas speaks English as a second language.
"It continues to grow, and it's a field that is growing and we need more and more teachers who have training," Howlett said.
Training through organizations like The Arkansas Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).
"Part of the purpose of our conference is for teachers to network with each other as well as learning new instructional strategies for their classroom, meeting each other and finding out what other things they can be doing in their districts to help students and their families," she said.
Regional representative for the organization, Grace Davis has seen the benefits of the collaboration.
"We're starting to see students that have come through our Arkansas ESL programs now go on to university and colleges and have successful business, have their children back in and it's very exciting to see that the ground work that was laid 20 years ago is now really coming to fruition and the support is there," Davis said.
Which is helping bridge the gap between languages and creating a community.
"I think that our families are a gift to our community. That when our second language families come, and with the cultures they bring and the language, they add a richness and a strength and an energy to all of us," Davis said.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
This is an incredibly random game to play... but it can be so addictive.
After completing a game like this two times before, it is not as addicting as before, but the game still stays classic and loads of fun... if you are in the mood of course.
The game is not relatively hard, and once you have the correct plants the game becomes fairly easy. Also, this is not a very long game, also depending on how quickly you move through the levels.
Your first experience might be a bit tough, but after a few rounds, you quickly get the hang of everything.
I game that I would recommend to anyone... even the parents ;)

Somebody is always watching. And somebody is always teaching 1984, one of the most popular (though censored many times over the years) and deeply historical texts that high school has to offer. Two hundred and sixty-eight pages of subtle satire (with accompanying literary devices) and deeply rooted historicism make the novel a tough nut to crack in any classroom. Thankfully, Shmoop is here with a big old nutcracker. Several of them, in fact.
1984 is first and foremost a political satire. As such, its historical complexity can be daunting, but it is precisely the key to unlocking the meaning and themes that make the novel an unforgettable, enjoyable, and comic relief to read. To that end, you should first make sure your students are familiar with at least the basics of the 1917 Russian Revolution and some larger trends of Russian twentieth-century history that followed. For a quick and easy synopsis, check out the info under Shmoop's "Good to Be King" heading in this analysis of Animal Farm. And to make things even easier, go ahead and introduce the Cold War, however briefly, before the next class bell tolls.
If you're one of those lucky English teachers who are in cahoots with history colleagues, you have an advantage here, as the novel explores many political themes, including authoritarianism, censorship, human rights, and the relationship between government, media, and personal freedom. If inter-disciplinary collaboration is not available, however, Shmoop's history and civics guides provide plenty of materials that allow students to delve into these themes and understand their significance in 1984.

'Baywatch' movie has nothing to do with the show
If you didn't already know, Hollywood is plum out of ideas. It was bound to happen eventually, we just hoped it wouldn't happen in our lifetime. Case in point? "Battleship" opens next summer. Yes, that's right. "Battleship," the movie based on the quasi-popular boardgame played unenthusiastically in the backseat of long car rides.
So it's only natural that "Baywatch," the syndicated bouncefest popular the world over, would receive the feature treatment. And apparently, Hollywood has attached an actual writer to the script -- "Rescue Me" creator Peter Tolan. However, Tolan is either wisely or not wisely avoiding the source material.
"It's not based on the show in any way, though there are a couple of winks at the show. I don't know anything about the show. I didn't watch it in preparation for writing this."
Wow. It's not like you need to watch a lot of "Baywatch" to understand the Zen of "Baywatch," but none of it? Are we to believe that there will be no slo-mo shots? No attempt to recreate the inimitable pathos of Jeremy Jackson as Hobie Buchannon? No 100% successful CPR? No thank you, Mr. Tolan. Just as the J.R.R. Tolkien faithful would cry foul at significant editorial changes in "The Lord of the Rings," we shall do the same in support of C.J. Parker and the noble Lt. Stephanie Holden.

The Waste of Waters is Their Field
Albert Pinkham Ryder was regarded as a visionary and experimental painter among Centennial-era artists. He often addressed the there of human destiny, as played out In literature or the Bible but he rendered his subjects with highly simplified or expressively exaggerated forms and densely textured surfaces that challenged the visual expectations of his audience. Ryder based this seascape on a poem by the Englishman Robert Southey that recounted the ocean voyage of a medieval king to the New World: "Day after day, day after day the same . . . A weary waste of waters!"

With the 2008 All-Star Game reportedly to be played at Yankee Stadium, and the 2009 game just announced for St. Louis, the Angels will focus their energies toward landing the 2010 contest.
Angels spokesman Tim Mead said the Angels have told the league in each of the past two seasons that they are interested in hosting the game. Mead said they will continue to do so until the announcement of the 2010 site is made.
The announcement of the 2009 site was recently made so the Angels could be looking at another year before they know if they will get the 2010 game.
The Angels had been in the running for the 2008 game, but since the current Yankee Stadium will be in its final season, the game was awarded to the Yankees. No official announcement has been made. The Cardinals got the 2009 game as the contest typically rotates from one league to the other on a yearly basis.
The San Francisco Giants will play host to this years All-Star Game on July 10.

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) October 15, 2012
A recently released survey conducted by The Physicians Foundation shows that physicians in the U.S. have a very gloomy outlook for the future of healthcare as a career.
The survey is one of the largest of its kind ever undertaken in the U.S., and is comprised of responses from 13,575 U.S. physicians. Emails were sent to over 630,000 physicians, or over 80 percent of physicians in active patient care. The survey was conducted throughout the first 6 months of 2012 and data was released in September 2012.
The Physicians Foundation is a nonprofit that works in the support of physicians. The organization completed the survey with the help of Merritt Hawkins, a physician search firm. Questions on the survey ranged from career satisfaction, thoughts on healthcare reform, the state of the medical profession, and what physicians foresee for the future of medicine and medical practice.
Some of the findings from the survey include:
The survey findings affirm what many health care professionals and advocates have seen occurring in the medical profession over the past 5-10 years. Physician shortages, less access to healthcare, and a reduction in the quality of care are all significant concerns for the future of medicine in the U.S.
"Uncertainty is the biggest driver of physician pessimism and right now it's at an all-time high," said Lou Goodman, PhD, president of the Physicians Foundation. "The uncertainty of the economy as a whole, the looming Medicare cut to physician pay and the changes brought by the Affordable Care Act are just a few of the factors unnerving doctors," he said.
One thing that is certain: the growing number of physicians who are silently leaving the ranks of medical practice. This silent exodus in the physician workforce is largely unknown by the public, however they are beginning to notice it as they experienced decreased access to doctors and an increasingly difficult healthcare environment.

She's recently started using cross merchandising and cross advertising to promote local businesses, and has also learned the importance of seeking the perspective of other retailers as she looks for ways to improve her own store.
