21 U.S. Code § 1034 - Inspection of egg products
prev | next
(a) Processing operations and establishments subject to coverage; rules and regulations
For the purpose of preventing the entry into or flow or movement in commerce of, or the burdening of commerce by, any egg product which is capable of use as human food and is misbranded or adulterated, the Secretary shall, whenever processing operations are being conducted, cause continuous inspection to be made, in accordance with the regulations promulgated under this chapter, of the processing of egg products, in each plant processing egg products for commerce, unless exempted under section 1044 of this title. Without restricting the application of the preceding sentence to other kinds of establishments within its provisions, any food manufacturing establishment, institution, or restaurant which uses any eggs that do not meet the requirements of section 1044 (a)(1) of this title in the preparation of any articles for human food shall be deemed to be a plant processing egg products, with respect to such operations.
(b) Authority of Secretary to retain, segregate, and reinspect eggs and egg products
The Secretary, at any time, shall cause such retention, segregation, and reinspection as he deems necessary of eggs and egg products capable of use as human food in each official plant.
(c) Condemnation of adulterated products; destruction or reprocessing; procedure upon appeal from determination of adulteration
Eggs and egg products found to be adulterated at official plants shall be condemned and, if no appeal be taken from such determination of condemnation, such articles shall be destroyed for human food purposes under the supervision of an inspector: Provided, That articles which may by reprocessing be made not adulterated need not be condemned and destroyed if so reprocessed under the supervision of an inspector and thereafter found to be not adulterated. If an appeal be taken from such determination, the eggs or egg products shall be appropriately marked and segregated pending completion of an appeal inspection, which appeal shall be at the cost of the appellant if the Secretary determines that the appeal is frivolous. If the determination of condemnation is sustained, the eggs or egg products shall be destroyed for human food purposes under the supervision of an inspector.
(d) Inspection of business premises, facilities, inventory, operations, and records of egg handlers; inspection of records and inventory of others required to keep records; authority of Secretary of Health and Human Services to inspect food manufacturing establishments, institutions, and restaurants; access to places of business
The Secretary shall cause such other inspections to be made of the business premises, facilities, inventory, operations, and records of egg handlers, and the records and inventory of other persons required to keep records under section 1040 of this title, as he deems appropriate (and in the case of shell egg packers, packing eggs for the ultimate consumer, at least once each calendar quarter) to assure that only eggs fit for human food are used for such purpose, and otherwise to assure compliance by egg handlers and other persons with the requirements of section 1037 of this title, except that the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall cause such inspections to be made as he deems appropriate to assure compliance with such requirements at food manufacturing establishments, institutions, and restaurants, other than plants processing egg products. Representatives of said Secretaries shall be afforded access to all such places of business for purposes of making the inspections provided for in this chapter.
(e) Refrigeration and labeling requirements
(1) Subject to paragraphs (2), (3), and (4), the Secretary shall make such inspections as the Secretary considers appropriate of a facility of an egg handler (including a transport vehicle) to determine if shell eggs destined for the ultimate consumer—
(A) are being held under refrigeration at an ambient temperature of no greater than 45 degrees Fahrenheit after packing; and
(2) In the case of a shell egg packer packing eggs for the ultimate consumer, the Secretary shall make an inspection in accordance with paragraph (1) at least once each calendar quarter.
(3) The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall cause such inspections to be made as the Secretary considers appropriate to ensure compliance with the requirements of paragraph (1) at food manufacturing establishments, institutions, and restaurants, other than plants packing eggs.
(4) The Secretary shall not make an inspection as provided in paragraph (1) on any egg handler with a flock of not more than 3,000 layers.

BiographyAs Director of Thoracic Imaging and Intervention at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Jo-Anne Shepard assumes responsibility for all clinical, teaching and research activities within the Division.
Dr. Shepard provides subspecialty diagnostic consultation on a wide spectrum of surgical and medical patients including critical care patients in the Cardiac Care Unit (CCU), Cardiac Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU), Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU), Neurologic Intensive Care Unit, and Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU). In addition, she provides imaging and consultation for critically ill patients on the transplant, oncology, burn, trauma, infectious disease, and pulmonary services in addition to the general medical and surgical services. Dr. Shepard routinely performs diagnostic percutaneous biopsy of the lung and she has instituted radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as an alternative treatment for tumors of the lung and chest wall with the support of the Departments of Thoracic Surgery and Thoracic Oncology. As Medical Director, Department of Radiology, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Dr. Shepard has administrative responsibility for the technical performance and diagnostic interpretation of the radiographic images performed in the department.
Dr. Shepard teaches the art and science of radiology to Harvard medical students, medical, surgical and radiology interns, residents and fellows and international visiting physicians. She is Director of the Cardiothoracic Imaging Fellowship Program at Massachusetts General Hospital and an examiner in Cardiothoracic Radiology for the American Board of Radiology (ABR). Since 2000 she has been Associate Editor in Radiology for the Case Records of the Massachusetts General Hospital, New England Journal of Medicine.
Dr. Shepard's research interests are in the realm of thoracic imaging and intervention.
ResearchDr. Shepard's research interests are in the realm of thoracic imaging and intervention. Her research has focused on studying percutaneous needle biopsy of the lung, resulting in implementation of standard procedures for the appropriate selection of patients, improved diagnostic technique, and significantly improved post procedural care of biopsy patients. The experience and skills derived from the experience with needle biopsies have led to the development of the Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Program for lung tumors at Massachusetts General Hospital. Her current research focuses on studying RFA of the lung in the treatment of lung tumors. She is a co-investigator in the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG) pilot study of RFA in high risk patients with Stage IA non-small cell lung cancer.
The MGH recently participated in the Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis (PIOPED II), a National Institute of Health (NIH) sponsored multi-center trial in the investigation of pulmonary embolism by CT angiography (CTA) and peripheral venous thrombosis by CT venography (CTV). Dr. Shepard oversaw the implementation of this trial within the Division of Thoracic Radiology at MGH. The results of the PIOPED II investigation have recently been published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Dr. Shepard's clinical investigations have focused on imaging of thoracic surgical conditions including lung transplantation, diseases of the airways, and lung tumors. She has described imaging findings on new technologies including MR imaging and FDG PET imaging characteristics of chest tumors. She has investigated the CT evaluation of incidental pulmonary nodules detected by CT leading to the development of guidelines for the follow up of pulmonary nodules published by the Fleischner Society. Dr. Shepard is currently investigating dose reduction techniques in CT imaging of the chest.

An image processing technique called ASIR allows radiologists to reduce radiation levels in chest CT exams without sacrificing image quality or diagnostic confidence, according to a paper just published by Mass General researchers.
Research shows a clear benefit for CT lung-cancer screening among individuals who meet strict criteria. Patients and referrers should understand both the benefit and the potential for false positive results.
During the fifth annual physician recognition dinner hosted Nov. 12 by the Massachusetts General Physicians Organization (MGPO), nearly 600 physicians and guests gathered to celebrate the past, present and future of MGH's clinical contributions and to honor the memory of the late cardiologist Brian A. McGovern, MD, with the presentation of three awards in his name.
On July 29, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) announced its recommendation for screening high-risk patients for lung cancer with low-dose CT scans (LDCTs).
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends low-dose CT scans to screen high-risk patients for lung cancer.
Director of Thoracic Imaging and Intervention in the Mass General Department of Radiology, Dr. Jo-Anne Shepard explains what the recent lung cancer screening recommendations mean for patients.
With implications for insurance coverage, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends annual low-dose CT scans to reduce lung cancer deaths.

How should emails fit into a Getting Things Done (GTD) system? Should each actionable email be copied into the GTD system? Should the email account keep a duplicate set of GTD "lists"? Or some other way to handle this?
An email item is to be considered just an item in your Inbox.
As such you need to process it as GTD prescribe...
If it is actionable:
If it is not actionable, then:
Email is not an action, as it may have several actions and often they are not Next Actions.
Email is not a project, as it does not often define the specific outcome.
Email is not so good for Someday/Maybe, because it is hard to review quickly.
The only thing email can be is a Reference and even then, it may have to be a reference to multiple projects.
Which means you do need to identify Next Action and create Projects. No easy shortcuts there. Every time I tried it (Gmail ActiveInbox, Lotus Notes eProductivity, etc), I had to re-think and re-parse the email to remember what the Next Action actually was.
The best option is to use the systems where you can forward email into it as a refence, but with special format to identify actions before/after it. I think both Nozbe and RTM do it.
You can simply forward your mail if your GTD system supports it.
The subject becomes the task name and the body becomes the task note...
Removing the e-amils afterwards would be the next step, in a Inbox Zero methodology setting.
Ideally your e-mail supports a GTD plugin so you don't need copies - just moving e-mail to the relevant place. I know Gmail and Lotus Notes have such a plugin. I assume most major providers do. What e-mail are you using?
Use one email folder called "waiting-for."
Use another email folder called "todo."
I'm pretty sure that's what the Prophet David himself advises, halfway through the book. (It's worked for me for a decade.)
I have used two project/list/note applications recently. Circus Ponies Notebook and Things by Cultured Code. This is on a Mac. Both of them have a way to select text from any application and use a pull-right menu to select "System Services" which can transfer the selected text into the note taking app. In the case where the text is coming from an email message, the services that I used will include a direct link to the original message in the new note. When you have the note taking app running, you can click on the link and cause the email app to pull up that specific message. This is a short cut for connecting your note taking app (or GTD system) to your email in a very quick and convenient way. Depending on what apps you use for GTD and email, this might be a possible way to connect them together.

What options are available in terms of types of cycling mirrors? Where all can I mount them and what are the advantages and disadvantages to each?
Bicycle mirrors are going fall into two basic categories- the type that you mount somewhere on your bike and the type that you mount somewhere on your head. Both categories have their pros and cons, but many of them are subjective. A pro to one individual may be considered a con to the next. Within those two categories you have a variety of different options to choose from. Here's the breakdown of those that I am aware of.
On your head
One thing to keep in mind with head mounted options is that they are always in your field of vision. You may consider this a pro, or you may consider it a con. On one hand you dont have to look off of your course of travel by much to view the mirror, on the other hand it can be distracting to always have it in your field of vision and can be awkward to focus on. Head mounted mirrors always look directly behind where your head is pointed. That means that they're not always pointed opposite your direction of travel, ie the road and traffic behind you. Depending on how far away from your head the mirror is, it can be difficult to get the mirror adjusted in such a way that your head does not obstruct your rear view or to where you are not looking off to an extreme angle to view the mirror. Mounting can be finicky. On the plus side they tend to be very light weight and tend to stay adjusted for the duration of your ride, and they are generally less obstructive than most bike mounted mirrors. Your options for head mounted mirrors are:
Helmet mount
Glasses frame mount
Glasses lens mount
On your bike
This category of mirror will be affixed somewhere to the front of your bike. They will not be in your field of view at all times, which depending on your preference may be mark for or against this category. You will have to take your eyes off from your course more so with a bike mounted mirror than with a head mounted mirror, and to varying degrees depending on where the mirror mounts. Bike mounted mirrors will be easier to look at since you can more easily focus on them with both eyes instead of largely just one as with head mounted mirrors. While riding in a straight line the mirror will always be pointed mostly behind you, but in turns they may point off to one side a little or a lot (the frame mounted mirror described below is the exception). Mounting points tend to be more secure than head mounted mirrors, however bike mounted mirrors have more of a propensity to stick out from the bike in some way. Hand in hand with that issue, bike mounted mirrors can be more of an obstruction than head mounted mirrors both in terms of getting in the way of your hands and in terms of getting knocked against things.
Bar end mount (flat bar)
Bar end mount (drop bar)
Hood mount (drop bar)
Handlebar mount (clamp/strap style)
Frame mount
Keep in mind that you may or may not find that any of these issues actually affect you. Preference is going to play a huge part in your decision. Most cycling mirrors are cheap so if you're unsure of what will work best for you, buy a couple of different styles and try them while you ride.
To add to jm2's post, there's also a mirror that is integrated into a bar:
Advantages: Foldable, unobtrusive, usage as bar
Disadvantage: Small mirror => very limited field of vision

SANTA FE — Hold onto your hats. The 2008 congressional elections will be like none other in the history of the state. Three, and possibly four, of New Mexico's five seats in Congress will be wide open awaiting a decision by voters. This is the best opportunity New Mexico politicians have ever had to nail themselves a seat in Congress. For those who have been biding their time for years, waiting for just the right situation, it has arrived.U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici's surprise retirement announcement set the action in motion. When the two Republican members of the U.S. House quickly jumped into the race to move up to the Senate, their seats became vacant.If our third representative, Democrat Tom Udall, jumps into the Senate race, he vacates his seat also.In that case, the only congressional incumbent New Mexico will have is Democrat Sen. Jeff Bingaman who is happily watching, having swept to a new six-year term a year ago.Sen. Domenici had no more than announced that he was about to make an announcement when the speculation began. And soon after that came the beginning of official entries into the three races. First to jump into the Senate race were U.S. Reps. Heather Wilson and Steve Pearce.

A home cooked Irish breakfast was my first meal in Ireland. I absolutely loved it! As much of the Irish culture as I have grown up with and around, this was my first true taste of Ireland, something I will never forget.
Yum! The only thing missing is a Guinness!
I so miss the breakfasts. can't wait to get back home to Ireland.
Where's the hash brown?
That looks delicious. Hope to order it up in Nov!!
I'm hungry. :D

Electric Cart/Industrial Truck Use Policy
This program is applicable to all Claremont McKenna College (hereinafter referred to as CMC) employees whose duties require them to operate or maintain powered industrial trucks including, but not limited to golf carts, whether powered by electrical motors or internal combustion engines. General rules are in Exhibit A, attached to this document.
Supervisor Responsibilities
Supervisors are responsible for the following:
- Assuring that all electric cart/industrial truck users follow all policies and procedures relating to the use of this equipment.
- Providing electric cart/industrial truck operators with training, including hands-on operating procedures.
- Allowing only employees who are insured by the College to operate an electric cart and/or industrial truck.
- Maintaining all required documentation including training documentation and pre-operational checklists.
Safety Requirements/Operator Responsibilities
- Electric cart/industrial truck users must have authorization and training before using an electric cart/industrial truck.
- Pre-operational checks and routine maintenance must be performed before operating an electric cart/industrial truck.
- Electric cart/industrial truck operators are responsible for following all policies and procedures relating to industrial truck use.
- Electric cart/industrial truck operators are responsible for following all safe-driving standards when operating an industrial truck.
- Electric carts/industrial trucks will not be driven if there is any concern about safety or any mechanical problems.
- Electric cart/industrial truck operators are responsible for reporting all incidents and unsafe conditions immediately to their supervisor.
Safety Checks
- Each electric cart and/or industrial truck shall be visually inspected before initial use at least once per shift.
- Pre-operational safety checks and routine maintenance should be performed on all electric carts and industrial trucks operated on campus.
- Each department operating the electric cart/industrial truck should maintain records of all inspections.
Exhibit A
Rules for Driving Electric Carts/Industrial Trucks
- Drive slowly and carefully whenever driving on campus. Negotiate the entries to campus carefully and never drive faster than the posted speed limit.
- NO ONE SHOULD RIDE IN THE BACK OF AN ELECTRIC CART. You are using the cart for transporting large items, not for transporting people.
- Under no circumstances should rides be offered to students, staff, faculty, or guests. In the case of an emergency, contact your supervisor.
- Keep legs and arms inside the vehicle at all times.
- The cart should not be left parked blocking the entrance to a building, obstructing foot traffic on a sidewalk, or blocking gates enclosing trash and recycle bins.
- Always take the cart keys with you when leaving the cart unattended.
- While driving on the sidewalk watch running onto the edges of the grass where the sprinkler heads are located. The weight of the cart easily breaks them.
- When removing the cart from its storage location be sure to secure the storage area gate or doors after you move out the cart.

Class of 1965
Guard >>> 6-0, 210
1936-1943 Chicago Bears
Daniel John Fortmann. . .Bears' No. 9 pick in first NFL draft, 1936. . . At 20, became youngest starter in NFL. . .60-minute line leader, battering-ram blocker. . .Deadly tackler, genius at diagnosing enemy plays. . .First- or second-team All-NFL every season of his career. . .Phi Beta Kappa scholar at Colgate. . . Earned medical degree while playing in NFL. . . Born April 11, 1916, in Pearl River, New York. . .Died May 23, 1995, at age of 79.
Legend has it that George Halas, the owner-founder of the Chicago Bears selected Colgate guard Danny Fortmann as his team's ninth and final pick in the 1936 National Football League Draft because he liked his name. It was the league's first draft and not nearly as sophisticated as today's version.
On the surface, it appeared at first that Halas had made a mistake. At 6' and weighing 210 pounds, Fortmann who was just 19 years old when he was drafted, appeared to be too small for line play in the NFL. A Phi Beta Kappa scholar, he definitely didn't possess the usual credentials for someone who was supposed to knock down enemy ball carriers or lead the interference.
By the time his rookie season started, Danny had turned 20 but was still the youngest starter in the NFL. He had determination and talent, however, and soon was excelling as a little man in a big man's game.
On offense, he called signals for the linemen and was a battering-ram blocker. On defense, he was a genius at diagnosing enemy plays and a deadly tackler. For seven seasons, Fortmann and Chicago's No. 1 pick in the historic 1936 draft, tackle Joe Stydahar, were a formidable combination on the left side of the powerful Bears line.
The Bears were a dominant team during Fortmann's career. From 1936 to 1943, the "Monsters of the Midway" won three NFL championships and took divisional titles on two other occasions, and Fortmann was the top man at his position in pro football. He earned first- or second-team All-NFL honors all eight years of his career.
Typical of his hard work and desire to excel, Fortmann continued his education while playing for the Bears and graduated in 1940 from the University of Chicago Medical School.

On Background
August 12, 2010
Europe's cathedrals, churches, monasteries, and baptisteries cover the countryside like Veronica's veil. They comprise the continent's landmarks and focal attractions and, for centuries, have been integral to its culture. It is curious, then, that, in the history of art, architecture has been a relatively infrequent subject—in Western painting before 1900, only scattered examples come to mind, such as the Dutch seventeenth-century church interiors by Emanuel de Witte (pictured here) or the panoramas of Venice by Canaletto.

CHEEKTOWAGA, NY - Is it time to downsize the Cheektowaga Town Board? One lawmaker thinks the time is now. Councilwoman Angela Wozniak thinks it will save money.
Wozniak does not have a co-sponsor for her motion, but plans to present her push to downsize to the full board at tonight's meeting in Cheektowaga Town Hall. Wozniak said eliminating two board members will save $88,000.
Town Supervisor Mary Holtz told 2 On Your Side's Claudine Ewing, "for the input from these councilmen, I think it's worth it for these salaries." She is not in favor of reducing the number of lawmakers. However, five years ago, she was seriously considering the call to downsize. Holtz changed her mind after seeing the impact of downsizing in other local towns and villages. "They've just become dysfunctional with five members and three members, a lot of conflict."
Wozniak said "if we had five (board members) it would afford residents to hold board members accountable for what they are doing."
The lone Republican on the Town Board believes voters should make the decision. Wozniak said if she can't get this measure through now, she will keep trying, "as hard as I have to and as long as I have to."

A wonderful promotional video for the City of Amsterdam with focus on their brilliant bicycle culture. The use of a rapper is always a questionable addition but hey...
Go, Amsterdam!
Love this! We are trying to do something similar here in Edinburgh - here's hoping it can be half as good as Amsterdam!
@Better way to work, yous has got a looong way to go yet...
It does have a catchy beat that gets me moving. Could be compared used to a steady pedal pace?
I love this video - have sent it near and far - and I like the rap too. It is just rap in the sense of that being a popular musical genre nowadays - the voice and rhymes are very Dutch and not at all phoney "ghetto-fabulous". The montage is brilliant - look at the bicycles and the drawbridges, and how the camera photos the (yummy) young classical musician from Concertgebow on his route home.
It also has some subtle pointers for visitors: the risk of theft (told in a joking way) and also the importance of safely co-existing with trams, that other important sustainable traffic form in Amsterdam. Amsterdamers have no problem with the trams, but sometimes there are unfortunate accidents involving tourists. Fortunately rare, but one squished tourist is one too many.
Even the pensioner couple's puncture scarcely slows the pace. And not a frigging helmet in sight.
Voici Montréal - et c'est mon vélo!
Unsurprising that they couldn't find a single US cyclist.
Well, there were definitely Americans among those chiming in in English. Think they weren't on bicycles simply because they were short-term tourists, walking.

Anyone with still a Night Pass to play pulled it Thursday. They included Victor Sebe (FRA3), Shoichiro Tadano (JPN2), Evgenii Griaznov (RUS), Pawel Faron (POL), Honza Rejmanek (USA1) and a man renowned for his running endurance — Toma Coconea (ROM). He looked set to reach Peille late evening in 10th place having hiked 750km.
Already a record number have reached the finish line. Other arrivals since Wednesday afternoon include Ferdinand van Schelven (NED), Aaron Durogati (ITA1), Martin Muller (SUI2) and Paul Guschlbauer (AUT1).
Normally only a few athletes make it to Monaco. But thanks to exceptional flying conditions, athletes have been able to cover much more ground. On Thursday evening, it looked likely that 10 athletes would make it to Monaco — a fitting number on the 10th anniversary of the first ever race.
But for anyone behind Coconea, the prognosis for making Monaco looked grim. Lying in 11th place, Honza Rejmanek (USA1) who has never made goal in three attempts, is desperate to reach the sea. But he was still nearly 150km away.
"He's giving it everything he's got," said Dave Hanning, who is part of team USA2's support team. "But it doesn't look good and the weather is working against him."
As of Thursday evening, Rejmanek — along with all the remaining athletes— were doing everything in their power to put in as much distance as possible. It's a last desperate push that will go on through the night.
Watch the athletes in real time as they finish with Red Bull Mobile Live Tracking. You can also check out the athletes' stats, analyse their routes, flight times, hiking distances, go back in time and much more! www.redbullxalps.com.

What Is Mononucleosis?
You've heard of mono — the "kissing disease" — but what exactly is it?
Often called glandular fever, "the kissing disease," or simply "mono," mononucleosis is a contagious infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
EBV can be transmitted through saliva or mucus when kissing, coughing, sneezing, or sharing drinking and eating utensils.
About 85 to 90 percent of American adults have developed antibodies to EBV by the time they are 40 years old. Having those antibodies indicates the person has had an EBV infection at some time, whether or not they ever had symptoms.
About 30 to 50 percent of the time, EBV causes mono in an infected person.
It's especially common among teenagers and young adults. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 25 percent of teenagers and young adults will develop mono.
Causes of Mononucleosis
EBV is the most common cause of mono, but other viruses can also cause it, such as the human cytomegalovirus.
Typically, viruses linked to mono spread through bodily fluids, especially saliva. Blood and semen also transmit these viruses during sexual contact, blood transfusions, or organ transplants.
Symptoms of Mononucleosis
Signs and symptoms of mono usually arise 4 to 6 weeks after you're infected with EBV. Young children may show signs sooner. Complaints include:
- Fatigue
- Not feeling well
- Sore throat
- Strep throat that doesn't get better after taking antibiotics
- Fever
- Swollen lymph nodes in your neck and armpits
- Swollen tonsils
- Headache
- Skin rash
- Soft, swollen spleen
A fever and sore throat caused by mono will usually get better within a couple of weeks, while fatigue, enlarged lymph nodes, and a swollen spleen may linger a few weeks longer.
Diagnosis of Mononucleosis
Your health care provider may suspect mono based on your signs and symptoms and a physical exam.
Blood tests can provide further evidence of an infection. A complete blood count, for example, provides some clues, including abnormal-looking white blood cells, too many of them, or too few neutrophils or platelets.
Abnormal measures of liver function are another indicator of mono.
The Monospot test checks your blood for EBV antibodies. While the results are available within a day, the test may not detect an infection during the first weeks of the illness. Therefore, the Monospot test may be repeated weekly for a while.
Your doctor may also order a different antibody test that takes longer for results but detects an EPV infection within the first week or two of symptoms.
Treatment of Mononucleosis
There is no specific treatment for mono. (And antibiotics, of course, treat bacterial infections, not viral infections.)
Resting and drinking plenty of fluids is the best way to aid your recovery.
However, the following may help ease your symptoms:
- Over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, for fever and muscle aches
- Sucking on throat lozenges, drinking cold beverages, or eating frozen desserts, such as popsicles, for a sore throat
- Gargling with one-half teaspoon of salt in 8 ounces of warm water a few times throughout the day for a sore throat
- Prescription corticosteroid medication, such as prednisone, for severe sore throat, swollen tonsils, and hepatitis caused by mono
You should avoid intense exercise, heavy lifting, or contact sports for at least 4 to 6 weeks, or until you fully recover.
That's because if you have a swollen spleen, there is a small risk that it will rupture during strenuous activity.
Treating Secondary Infections Caused by Mononucleosis
People with mono sometimes develop another, or secondary, bacteria-caused infection such as streptococcal (strep) infection of the throat, sinus infection (sinusitis), or infection of the tonsils (tonsillitis).
If you develop a secondary, bacterial infection, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to treat it. (Experts recommend avoiding amoxicillin and other penicillin derivatives because they may cause a rash.)
How to Prevent Mononucleosis
Since there isn't a mono vaccine, the best way to avoid catching the infection from someone who has it is by not kissing or sharing drinks, food, or personal items, like toothbrushes, with them.

Sorry to pollute your personal forum. The post was put in here because it is very unusual for someone to wreck 2 airplanes of the same model, at the same airport, landing, in less than a year. Nothing technical about it (yet). I might add that some of the Flightaware people make spurious comments from time to time too. Maybe you should bust their balls.
Yours was not the issue and if one reads the guy was an accident waiting to happen again it looks like. Some of the other comments that are made I stand behind. Yours again is fine they are an AC that requires one flys it by the book or this is what happens.
You are probably right sir, about the Aerostar being more plane than his skills will handle. My point is that this is a forum, not a club. I read plenty I may disagree with or not like, but I'm not so snobbish as to suggest the writer be banished.
Although interesting, relevant, and completely squawk-worthy, an incident at the same airport is not entirely unbelievable since North Las Vegas could have been his home base and therefore more than half of his flights could very well have that as a destination. And being the same model is also not really so strange since pilots tend to keep flying models that they are already familiar with.
I'm sure there are statistics to support the existence of people that crash their Honda Civic within a mile of their home (1 in 3 car accidents are that close), get a similar replacement for their beloved Honda Civic, and then are unlucky enough to get in another accident similarly close to home soon after.
The license to drive and the license to fly are two different animals. I'll bet most pilots never prong a plane and I have never personally known any to do it twice in a year. I know plenty of people who wreck a car every year. Just my sense that consistent repeat offenders in either category probably have an issue. Lol
Time to buy a boat
Oddly enough a gentleman in El Dorado Arkansas crashed two Aerostars in one year in el Dorado. Both were aborted takeoff attempts as I recall. Aerostars need about 2000 feet of runway before they rotate...makes any takeoff on a short field problematic.
Switch to a Skyhawk. Seems the Aerostar is too much airplane for you.
I don't he needs to be flying anymore. Looks like he has problems landing.
Fly? YES! Land? NO!
Well, yeah, most accidents happen within a mile of home.
I moved.
almost a million in junk metal.. Umm, I think it's time to turn in the credentials.
It is a shame he wrecked 2 beautiful Aerostars!
Aerostar a very quick plane very tricky to fly
how your how your stall speeds lead to higher approach speeds but they sure were fast!
on th on the Aerostar higher approac approach speeds higher stal fas fast plane
sonme people are just good!!!
The passenger's, Gary A. Marsh, Prof. of Aviation Technology at Andrews University in Michigan, most recent available C.V. (2010) says only ASEL FAA-certified flight instructor.
That's my only point in reply to various media accounts mentioning "flight instructor."
I think it's time to put the aerostar in the hangar and get something a little less touchy. Maybe a baron or something? If you have the money to get an aerostar and crash it twice, then maybe you can afford a simulator for practice. I know sometimes we all do dumb stuff in an airplane and if you are lucky you survive it and get a chance to learn from it. Twice in the same year, same plane, same airport. Something has to change.
Pretty soon there will be no more Aerostars.
Good, I don't like them anyway.
What's wrong with them? Looks fun to fly to me.
Oh, I'm sure they fly great. I just think they're kinda ugly.
Mr.Ivans is your man then.
I'll be waiting this time next year for another article :-)
It would appear that Peter F. Hartman, Esq. is recommending censorship. Personally, I don't care a whit if you are or are not clear on how the "REAL aviation community, or this form of communication, benefits from the spurious comments of people who clearly are not pilots - simply "wanna-be's" who feel a need to intrude with silly comments into a technical area beyond their comprehension." This is a forum, a place where people are free to state their ideas, their opinions, and their knowledge concerning various issues. Stop being such a snob, Mr. Hartman, Esq. It's people like you who give lawyers a bad rep.
Hahaha, thanks Donna & Boyd for calling PFH man out. I've scarcely ever had as much fun and laughs reading a comment thread on any forum. Thanks for the lols!
Donna - may I suggest you work on your reading comprehension. At least you are being honest - you admit that you dont care much for what us REAL aviators think.
First, it would be nice if you would demonstrate your ability to understand what you are reading, by spelling my name correctly. No big deal there - just one way to show you actually understand what you are reading.
Secondly, think about the concept of good manners. Yes, good manners could suggest self-censorship, if you want to put it that way.
Let me give you an example to see if that will help you understand the concept of "good manners", or "self-censorship" if that will help you grasp the concept better.
I do not happen to be a homosexual. There are many forums for homosexuals. Not being one, I am not competent to comment on what they do or how they do it. Therefore, should I blunder into one of their forums, good manners would DEMAND that I keep my totally irrelevant opinions to myself.
Here's another example. Not being an A & P or IA for an airline, it would be bad manners for me to barge into one of their forums, and comment on what I am not competent to comment on there, just because I feel like "venting" about some real or imagined grievance or jealousy regarding the airline business.
I think you are confused about the purpose of some forums. Like many younger people today, you may not have been trained in good manners or critical analysis.
I was and I have. Therefore, since I am not checked out in Aerostarts - in fact, have never even ridden in one,I am aware that any comment about them or their flight characteristics by me, would be wasting the time of people with a legit. interest in their operation.
Forums can be used as a garbage dump for people who need attention. Or, others, like this one, inform you when you sign in, should you (1) choose to read their purpose and (2) comprehend its significance, and your own relevance to that).
I would suspect virtually ALL of the LEGITIMATE aviators like me, welcome people who are "aviation enthusiasts" but for some reason or no reason cannot be aviators. You would serve yourselves and us well, if you would remember an old expression "make sure your brain is in gear before engaging your mouth".
I'll make this brief. It is your reading comprehension that is lacking Mr. HartmanN. I said no such thing - I was quoting (as the quotation marks indicate) your comments. I'm afraid your ego is far larger than your good manners or your ability to talk to people rather than down to people. Respond or don't - I'm finished with you.
great ! we are making some progress (well, at least she got my name spelled right ! maybe she has learned something ?). ( why am I suspicious that this lovely lady's world is about as relevant to aviation, as my world is to her...!
I just want to point out that only one of your comments doesn't have negative votes. Maybe this is a good indication that people on this site like it the way it is. As I said before, if you don't like it, you don't have to look at our comments.
Yes, Mister Lillie - i have no doubt that you are correct. No question that the "wanna-be' / "hanger's on" who WISH they could be involved in driving airplanes around, enjoy their brief connection to REAL aviation and REAL aviators.
I can't imagine anyone objecting to the general public coming in here to see what they can learn about REAL aviation.
At the risk of repeating myself, I also cannot imagine how one who is not informed on any given subject matter, dosnt feel embarssement about sticking their nose into an area where they have no competence.
I am not blaming you personally or any other individual personally for turning what is clearly a narrow-interest technical forum into a general garbage dump for all of you with frustrations over the fact that for whatever reason, you could not be a part of the aviator community.
Clearly, "going where you are not wanted" is not an embarssement in today's culture. I was taught that if you "cant say something nice, or relevant, dont say anything".
As I have noted earlier, I have never even RIDDEN in an Aerostar, much less be "signed off" to be aircraft commander in one. So you may have noticed I did not comment on this North Las Vegas Airport incident.
Over the years (in both cases BEFORE the Internet came to be) I have wrecked airplanes. I was judged by my peers and I accept that. Because my peers had RELEVANT info. for me.
Perhaps you can imagine how I would have reacted if someone who was not informed in this narrow technical area we call aviating, had volunteered his ignorance of things aviation by commenting.
Or maybe you cant - because maybe our culture has changed so much, that people these days are so self-centered they simply have no way to be aware of the difference between general chat rooms where the public can shoot its ignorant mouth off, and forums that are created for various narrow technical groups.
Bottom line - hopefully, you and those like you will take a deep breath and realize your opinions, should you wish to offer them, where you are in an area (and a forum) where you have some background and competence, would be welcome.
Dude, the only thing REAL about you is that you are a boil on the posterior of this message board.
Having an interest in aviation no more means one wants to be a pilot than having an interest in fish means one wants to go fishing. Your petty, egomaniacal arguments make no sense and have no place in here. Shoo! Scat!
What a sad commentary on the young people of today.
This individual and her "buddies" believe they can barge into what is clearly labled as a AVIATOR's technical forum FOR AVIATORS, and have a right to babble whatever comes into their uninformed minds, not only without being critisized, but tell us AVIATORS that WE should get out of our own chat room.
At least Donna is being honest in that she has no interest in being an AVIATOR, and admits that to her, the discussion by AVIATORS make no sense to her. There are plenty of "general discussion" chat rooms for people who need to "vent". Please use them.
Again, I cannot imagine anyone wanting to restrict your ability to come in here and LEARN.
If and when you feel you can contribute something based on your competency in this particular technical area, I am sure other LEGIT aviators and myself would be delighted to see what we could learn from you.
One thing for certain - this young woman's attitude tells us why the divorce rate has gone up so fast amongst the younger generation - imagine being married to THAT !
I'd dearly love to know where you obtained your crystal ball. You know, the one which allows you to know the ages of people, and the one which allows you to know what people actually "wannabe" in life. And, oh by the way, oooops, you've made that monumental mistake of a misspelled word yet again, oh my, your face must be red! Oh yes, another "by the way" Carnac the Magnificent, I've had a life-long career in aerospace, am properly retired, happily married to a man who adores me and whom I adore, and together we have three lovely grown children and five grandchildren. My "attitude" as you so glibly call it only rears itself when I have the misfortune to stumble across someone like you who insists on displaying grossly poor manners and who resorts to calling people names like a small schoolboy or girl. Your arrogance may work in some places (although I doubt it) but it certainly doesn't work here. Amen and good bye.
Who stated or even implied that flightaware's forum is an " aviator's technical forum for aviators?
You show us where the website's mission statement states that..
Ya know "Esquare"...(Yes spelling is incorrect to point out my now utter disdain for your pompous arrogance) I believe you are a nobody who discovered this forum and decided to make some posts to see how much of a rise you could get out of people.
Until you entered the forum ,this was a peaceful place where people of all levels of interest and expertise in the field of aviation came to exchange ideas and conversation.
YOU have made this place somewhat less of what it was.
If you think I am wrong, then why is it your posts are getting "ejected" on a frequent basis?
And now you will reply with another one of your smug pseudo sophisticated replies while trying to appear as though you are "above the fray"..Don't bother. I have your number.
Mr Lillie:
Please read Mr. Young's above post (where he embarssed himself by admitting he has no idea what this forum is about). He only knows what HE wants to believe.
I also recommend you review Donna's several posts.
These are examples of why PRECISION OF SPEECH in communication is so vital if you wish to join the aviation community, and be a safe participant.
Mistakes like these people made (in thinking this is some kind of general forum for people to babble what they feel like "venting about") are in general life, simply embarssing.
In aviation, sloppy thinking & incompetence in understanding what information you have access to, can make you a deadly hazzard to yourself and others in the aviator community.
Why they were not able, when they come into this particular forum, see that this is called FLIGHT AWARE, or see that its purpose is to serve the aviation community, we do not know.
Perhaps it is their technical incompetence with computers, basic reading comprehension skills? We do not know.
Bottom line - in aviation especially, learning by example is vital.
Good luck in your aviation endeavor.
Thank you for your good wishes. I don't agree with his or your sarcasm in addressing the other. I don't believe that is an example of professionalism or good manners.
Still waiting on the clarification I requested.
You know, technical forum for aviators and all that good stuff.
BTW, "HAZARD: is the correct spelling.
An IFR rating requires a high awareness of detail and skill...Know what I mean?
Lastly, who is "We"?...
Mr Young and "Donna"
I MAY owe you and your "buddies" an apology - you apparently remain under the impression this is some kind of general meeting place for people to babble out whatever is on their minds.
I am not a computer expert, so I have no way of knowing if it is POSSIBLE for you folks to get into these threads without going thru the "MAIN ENTRANCE" of FLIGHT AWARE.
On the off chance that you are NOT what I think you are, and really dont know - let me explain. FLIGHT AWARE is a service created BY flight crew FOR flight crew. The services it offers relate to the needs and interests of flight crew. I am not clear how fuel prices, FBO facilities, flight planning, are relevant to the needs of the non-flying general public. Nor would the blabbering of the non flying public have relevance to flight crew.
With this exception. Included amongst its many services of interest to flight crew, is their "tracking" program. Yes, if you are a "wanna be" who likes to SAY you "fly" (translation, you share a very human trait down thru the eons, of being fascinated by the concept of flight) but in fact RIDE in BACK of someone ELSE's airplane as a PASSENGER, then that one service out of the many offered here, may be of interest, even of value to you, again, if you are going to RIDE in BACK of someone ELSE's airplane as a passenger.
With this cautionary note - I suppose, but do not know for sure, that the flight tracking service of this "site" may be fairly accurate as to Part 121 (reg. sched. airline ops). I know from personal experience it is not accurate for Part 135 (charter) or Part 91 (general aviation).
For example, most of the time when I can, I will take off VFR to save time, and tell a ATC that I want to go "FLIGHT FOLLOWING", and then need a 'pop up" IFR clearance for the balance of my operation. This rarely shows up on the flight trackers.
Hopefully, this information will educate the "Donna" and the "Ken" types that while nobody would question their right or interest to OBSERVE what people who "drive" airplanes do, their presence would be more pleasant if they'd show a little manners and keep still unless their technical background makes what they want to post relevant.
Ok..This is my final response to you. First, you are arguing just to argue.
Now, a little common sense to take along with you on your journey.
If this site was a venue dedicated to those only in the aviation business, whether it be flight crew, maintenance, ATC or other aviation specific occupation, the terms and conditions of use for this site would state that very clearly.
Such statements in the terms of use are ABSENT.
Therefore, your little power play here is all in your mind.
I and many other not directly tied to the aviation business will continue to post here as long as we like and as long as the site administrators allow it.
If you feel it necessary to find a site( such as the AOPA site) to mingle with "aviators only", please do so..Immediately if not sooner.
Quite frankly, I have never seen such arrogance by an individual in a public forum.
Until such time as the administrators of this site switch it to a "private" site, your attempts to run off other with whom you feel uncomfortable and may even feel are beneath your station are futile.
Oh, learn how to spell and use proper sentence construction. How one writes is an open window to their level of education and intelligence.

So your comment WAS directed toward me. I had a sinking feeling it was. I do not WISH I could fly an airplane. I have my SPL, and am planning on getting my PPL this year.
Mr Lillie:
I am pleased to learn of your efforts and plans to join the aviation community.
Let me give you a note of caution. Aviation is and must be a continual learning experience. In which PRECISION OF SPEECH AND PRECISION OF THOUGHT IS VITAL TO SAVETY.
Thruout your life in aviation, you MUST have the right attitude, which is to try and THINK as clearly as you can, and try and avoid the very human trait of thinking that because you have arrived at any given level, you dont need to continue having an open mind.
We have an expression in aviation " AVIATION IS NOT INHERENTLY DANGEROUS. BUT TO AN EVEN GREATER DEGREE OF THE SEA, IT IS TERRIBLY UNFORGIVING OF ANY CARELESS OR NEGLECT".
Let me give you an example of "precision in thought and speech".
You are working towards a PPL ? I presume that means PRIVATE PILOT LICENSE. You already have a SPL? Suggest you aquaint yourself with 14 CFR Part 61.23.
I hope you dont think you have a Student Pilot LICENSE. There is no such thing. Suggest you buy and study carefully the current FAR'S AIM. In it, aviation regulations are explained - pay particular attention to 14 CFR Part 61.23 before you go telling folks you have a Student Pilot LICENSE.
You may have a Student Pilot CERTIFICATE. It is NOT a license, and the distinction, like so much in aviation, is important. Your CERTIFICATE, again, not a license, enables you to "log" time TOWARDS a pilot's LICENSE.
It is my personal prejudice that amongst aviators, you find a much higher per-centage of folks who recognize the importance of precision-of-thought. And thus a much lower per-centage of people walking around blabbering whatever comes into their heads, regardless of the accuracy or relevance. An example of how vital ? When you are accepting a "clearance".
This particular "thread" was about some kind of misfortune with a Piper Aerostar. If and when you have been signed off to command one, I am sure your fellow aviators will look foward to your input on this subject.
I, in fact, did not comment at all on the technical capabilities/hindrances of this aircraft; I only pointed out that I did not like the appearance of the airplane in reply to someone's comment. Don't worry, I don't plan on getting signed off in an Aerostar, unless I have to. Believe me, I enjoy the continuity of learning in aviation, and know that "a good pilot is always learning." I apologize for the fact that I misrepresented the fact that I have a student pilot CERTIFICATE. Don't fret I own a copy of the 2013 FAR/AIM.
Mr Lillie - sounds to me you have an open mind, and will be a credit to aviation - probably to everything you do in life. We all make misteaks (actually, i love steak....!) When I see an individual willing to admit a mistake, I believe they have a receptive, aware mind, that will do them credit in life.
We do disagree about the Aerostar - I dont think they are ugly - in fact, I think all airplanes have a beauty in their own way.
A suggestion - dont get discouraged if at various points in getting your "ratings", you think " I cant do that ". It is HUMAN as you reach each plateau, to think the next one is out of reach. I will never forget my disappointment in myself when I came to the conclusion I could NEVER EVER learn to land an airplane without "bouncing" it half-way to the moon ! And that IFR check-ride ? I "knew" I couldn't pass it (actually..I didn't - had to get more "dual" and take it again !
But few things in life are more satisfying. Go for it !
Thank you. Yes, I had trouble with bouncing too :).
Great! Now maybe you can learn about spellcheck. Perhaps in your post to Boyd you can give a gander to how you spelled "nonsense" ... even the great Hartmann Esq. can make a spelling error. Aren't you ashamed of yourself. I'm impressed with myself how much pro bono time you've invested in me, someone who is so irrelevant to your world. Gawd you're a clown.
Also, I would hardly consider insulting someone about their intellect an example of "good manners."
[This comment has been downvoted. Show anyway.]
The operators of this forum may wish to consider some mechanism to limit these comments to legimiate flight crew. I am not clear how either the REAL aviation community, or this form of communication, benefits from the spurious comments of people who clearly are not pilots - simply "wanna-be's" who feel a need to intrude with silly comments into a technical area beyond their comprehension.
I see your point... But what is considered legitimate flight crew... Is that someone who flies the planes... Personally I feel that I have contributed another view to things that a flight crew may not perceive. Working Maintenance Control, I see a lot of different things, and from well over 20 years of airline service has given me many years of experience. By your statement, I could not be here by the new ruling.
How's the weather up in your ivory tower?
By "legitimate flight crew" you must be referring to the Airline Transport rated pilots with thousands of hours of flight time under their belts and are led off a plane in handcuffs for being drunk before their flight.Or the pilots that have an emotional "meltdown" in the cockpit risking passengers lives. Or maybe it's the pilot who just murdered his passenger after flying his KA into a mountain in Montana, at night, in IFR conditions, while possessing only a Student Pilot Certificate. Is this the "legitimate flight crew" you are referring to sir? I am a member here and your post is moronic. I read the NTSB reports daily and it's very apparent there are a lot of "legitimate flight crews" who have no business being in a cockpit.
LOL, I agree with you. Working Maintenance Control, I have on more than one instance had a crew to call in with a problem, and I am like, what is the problem. They explain it, tell them how to do it, and they they say something similar to.. "Oh that is how it works" and these people are carrying passengers.
Oh so suddenly aviation enthusiasts and other interested parties are not permitted in your perceived "little elitist club"..
Hey pal, you know what you can do with your exclusionary attitude.
Think "where the sun don't shine"..
Take that!
I am not a pilot but I can give most regular people a run for their money in general aviation knowledge.
Thank you, Ken, for being honest - in admitting you are not flight crew.
You are right - I have an "exclusionary attitude", and the good manners to know when my comments are not competent or relevant in the many "sites" I look at.
In your case, your resentment of REAL aviation is clear - and I am sorry for you.
The fact remains you are clearly NOT qualified to command ANY aircraft, and, like me, not qualified to command an Aerostar.
The difference between us is, I have a 1) legit interest in the technical aspects of REAL aviation,because I am a participant, and 2) The good manners not bo bother my fellow aviators with comments about which I am NOT qualified to comment.
Hopefully, you will reflect on your irrelevance to this particular forum, enjoy it if you wish, but limit your comments to areas where you feel you haver REAL knowledge that is RELEVANT to the issue set forth.
Your gratiuitious comments would be more welcome and appropriate in something like U Tube, or any of the other places where people can happily "vent", without bothering those who have forums set up for a particular purpose.
First off you pompous arrogant pr!ck, I made NO comment beyond my rudimentary knowledge of aviation.
Second, this is a public forum, not your little exclusive country club.
If you want that type of stimulation( here's your astroglide) I suggest you stick with the AOPA forums..That is if you can stoop to their level.
I have no resentment of aviation. What in Sam Hill are you babbling about?
Oh yeah. I know REAL aviation. And unlike you, I am not averse to asking those with more knowledge than I, as many questions as it takes to learn. You sir, proclaim to know it all. You are the omnipotent one. I get it.
Look pal, if the comments on this forum are so repulsive to you, please,your insignificant presence is required "elsewhere".
This "Ken Young" fellow's post confirms my suspicion - hopefully, the managers of this forum will show some responsibility. Failure to provide discipline will ruin this forum's intended purpose - turn it into just another TWITTER or similar places for the "wanna-be's". I see this particular "wanna-be" dosnt like our AOPA either. Enuff said.
And in other news. The guy crashed two planes in one year.
From a risk stand point, insurers beware..
Got it?
Such snobbery. Anyone would think you were the CEO of a real airline, or something!
The operators of this forum may very well activate the "pompous poster alert".
Yes as it is like a kids show of comments much like the ones you see on YOUTUBE about the vidios posted about AC there. Also the double and tripple posts make it hard to get thru to the new ones.
Also dont worry about the thumbs down on your post either as guess who is doing it just look above and consider who they are.
Boyd - let me disagree with you - in your above post you note these 'wanna be's come in here and turn this into a "kid's show". The correction I would make to your post is to add the word "resentful, jealous" to describe some of the "kid's show" posters.
For example. As Furman correctly points out, we in the REAL aviation community are aware we are humans, and that amongst us are (thankfully rare) "major malfunctions". Why he felt it necessary to slam the pilot community, we dont know.
We do not know what level, if any, pilot-in-comand experience he has in Aerostars. Since I have none (although I personally have probably been "punching holes in clouds" since the old "lo-freq/amber airways" days) I felt no desire - meaning, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on an Aerostar or its operator.So I excercised basic good manners by listening to those who do have experience in Aerostars.
We have to face the fact that the younger generations are not trained in manners or logical thinking. They feel no embarssement about blabbering their jealousy and anger in this and other forums.
Unless the moderators of this forum step in and clean out those who have nothing to offer but their emotional issues, I guess we are going to continue to suffer such nonsence.
And your post is not emotional? I do not mean to be impolite, I'm just pointing out the fact that all of us experience emotions. They are occasionally reflected in comments that we make. If you do not like this forum, then you don't have to look at comments posted here. All due respect to your expertise as a pilot. I will admit I don't have near as much experience as you or others, but I and many others on this site are not "wannabes."
Oh the arrogance..
Yassah Massah....I's will never have nuthin to say outta turn agin, Sahhhh..

PAWTUCKET—Every woman dreams of finding the perfect dress for her wedding day. For bride-to-be Beth Coakley, that means taking her turn in the same satin and lace gown that has been worn by seven other family members before her.
When Coakley, a school teacher in Beverly, Mass., marries Pawtucket native Bob Bedard this fall, she will be proudly outfitted in a family heirloom known as "the corn crop dress." The gown was first worn by Coakley's great-aunt when she wed in 1949, and was passed down to a bride in every generation after that, from the 1950s to the 1990s.
"Family legend is that my great-grandparents lived on a working farm and had a great crop of corn in the fall of 1948," said Coakley. "That provided the $300 for the purchase of the dress for my great aunt's wedding in June of 1949."
"I remember when my sister and I realized that there had been a wedding every decade," Coakley said. "Great aunt Mary in the '40s, great aunt Dorothy in the '50s, aunt Jan in the '60s, our mother and aunt Barb in the '70s, cousin Barb in the '80s and cousin Beverly in the '90s." She added, "We were hoping that one of us might be able to wear the dress sometime between 2000 and 2010, but it didn't quite work out that way."
Bob Bedard, a 53-year-old Tolman graduate who works as a custodian at Slater Junior High School, met Coakley when she was a newly hired teacher there. She worked at Slater for six years and is currently an assistant department head at the Landmark School in Beverly, Mass. The couple has been dating for five years and this is the first marriage for both, he said.
Coakley, 37, said that when Bedard proposed, she never considered shopping for any other wedding gown. "I always hoped that I would have a chance to wear the dress. It's the second most important part of my wedding—the first, of course, is a wonderful and loving husband."
For his part, Bedard says he is more than fine with his fiancee's choice to be another "corn crop" bride. In fact, he thinks it's a nice family tradition. While he has been involved in the planning for the big day, when it comes to the gown, Bedard says, "It's her wedding. It's whatever she wants to do."
Bedard added that he is just looking forward to Coakley becoming his wife. "I couldn't get anyone better than her. She's the best," he said. "I'm not an emotional guy, but I'm starting to get emotional about the wedding."
Coakley remarked that while most brides-to-be have women in their family who offer fashion advice, that doesn't come into play with "the corn crop dress." The seven brides before her all wore the dress as it was originally styled on their wedding days. They also wore the same veil and type of shoes.
The last bride to wear the corn crop dress, Coakley's mother's cousin Beverly, did replace the original collar, and sent Coakley the extra pieces of lace. She said she plans to use them as part of the "birdcage veil" that she will wear with her gown.
Coakley also noted that at 6-feet, she is the tallest bride in the family. As most of the other brides stood at about 5'8", she was a little nervous that the heirloom dress wouldn't fit. She was given "strict instructions" not to have the gown permanently altered, and said it would be impossible to match the vintage fabric anyway.
However, Coakley said that when her mother helped her try the dress on, she remarked, "It looks like it was made for you!" She added, "I think it is as meaningful for her to see me married in the dress as it is for me to know that she wore it before me."
Coakley said that as she plans her wedding, she feels sadness that her great aunt Dorothy, the second of the "corn crop brides," has passed away. She is also sad that her great aunt Mary, the original owner of the dress, is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. "She probably doesn't even know that another great-niece has asked to borrow her gown," she lamented.
Coakley said there is a photograph, taken in 1999 at a different cousin's wedding, of all seven of the brides. "They are so beautiful in their youth and their old age, with their strong family resemblance," she remarked.
"We are never going to be able to have all the brides together again; someone will always be missing. But at the same time, we will all be together in spirit and memory. I am honored to be joining them, Coakley stated.
The latest bride-to-be, who will be making her home in Pawtucket after the wedding, also noted that of the seven brides who came before her, two are also daughters of former brides. "We are already thinking to the next generation. Will I have daughters who might someday be able to wear the dress?" mused Coakley. "Sometimes, it's overwhelming to think about how much love and happiness is in that beautiful satin fabric."

I have a reel of 16g Revolve, since I string for myself , but I am putting 15g Revolve in one friend's 99S frames who are snapping 16G Cyclone Tour weekly. The guy hits every day, so until he learns to string he is getting 15g REVOLVE mains/ 16g Revolve Crosses.

Developing Intercultural Competency for Ministry
Developing Intercultural Competency for Ministry [MISS 0688]
Course Description
God's people are called to participate in God's mission of blessing the nations of this world. With the movement of peoples, cities like Toronto have become multicultural centres where the nations are gathered in close geographical proximity. If we are going to engage in missional ministry, in Toronto and beyond, it will mean having to cross cultural boundaries to build trusting relationships.
This course seeks to develop intercultural competencies for Christian leaders. Students will learn how to develop greater cultural self-awareness, knowledge and skills, enabling them to serve more effectively in intercultural settings in North America or around the world.
*Note: MISS 0688 is a required course for Global Mission and Intercultural Studies majors at the Seminary. The title of this course has been changed from "Intercultural Communication" to "Developing Intercultural Competency for Ministry."
Monday - Friday 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
This course is open for registration
This course is available as an Audit course
