Best and most hilarious book I've read in a long while. Anyone who flies, or who just wants a great laugh should read this.
On another note, this is the first book I've purchased from http://www.smashwords.com . I am very impressed with their selection and the fact that all the content I've thus far seen is accessible and is available in multiple formats.

This was a fun book of anecdotes told by flight attendants and pilots about some of the zany antics they get up to in the air. Instead of being whiny and anti-passenger like some other flight attendant books are, this was cheerful and upbeat. Next time I fly, I'm going to wonder what's going on behind the scenes!

This book had a little trouble at take-off, but once it was off the ground it was a good flight. The collection of anecdotes included stories from flight attendants, flight crews and even passengers. A few were lame, but there were some great laugh-out-loud moments and some interesting flying factoids that lead me to recommend the book to my flight-ophile husband.

This was refreshing! I enjoyed all the stories of this book, some had me laughing out loud while others had me saying "OMG". The facts were intresting I guess but I skipped most of them because I thought I might learn something and that scared me,lol.
A fun book!!
A fun book!!

Accounts from Betty, a flight attendant, as well as other flight staff (including pilots). Stories about pranks, funny happenings, etc. Pretty funny but not hilarious, some of it was boring and a lot of airplane terms that I could have done without.

Funny collection of stories. I read it while I was on the airplane which made it funnier because I was picturing the pilots and flight attendants doing some of these lovely tricks while I was in the air.

"I was on a 747 flight out of Denver with four flight attendants on the plane. One of the flight attendants got off the plane to go check someone's carry-on bag in the cargo hold, and while she was gone, the door closed and we began to taxi out. While we were giving the demo, we looked out the window of the airplane to see the flight attendant running alongside the plane in the snow, waving and yelling and trying to catch up to us. 'Did you notice that we're missing someone?' I said to the other flight attendant. 'Yes, but try to keep it low-key—there's a supervisor on board!' Well, it's hard to keep it low-key when someone is running alongside your plane, waving and screaming. The plane stopped and the air stairs went down so she could get on board, and my co-worker said, 'Tell her to try to be inconspicuous when she gets back on.' Well, she had to walk the entire length of the plane to get back to her station, and everybody on board broke into applause."More quotes…

World number one Rory McIlroy's World Golf Final showdown with 14-times major winner Tiger Woods was put on hold after play was abandoned due to storms today.
McIlroy, without a win from two matches in the inaugural event after his latest defeat at the hands of 2011 Masters champion and group pacesetter Charl Schwartzel, is bottom of his pool with Woods and Matt Kuchar on one win apiece.
Woods carded a four-under 67 to beat compatriot Kuchar by five shots before the afternoon matches were put back to Thursday when a fierce electrical storm began lashing the course.
McIlroy, who lost to South African Schwartzel by one shot, said he was determined to put up a better show against Woods after his level-par round.
"I don't have much to play for so I would like to beat him so he doesn't go through to the semi-finals and also get some bragging rights," McIlroy, unaware he could make the semi-finals, told reporters.
If players finish level on points qualification is decided by aggregate totals over the three rounds, with McIlroy currently on five-over-par compared to Woods at five-under and Kuchar on even par.
"Bragging rights from this week will help a little bit," added the U.S. PGA Champion, who is looking forward to a rivalry with Woods next year.
"Of course, there is always an added edge when you play against a player like Tiger and there were a few chances this year when we could have gone head-to-head in the bigger tournaments but it didn't quite happen.
"So I am still looking forward to next season when we can go head-to-head down the stretch."
In Group Two, England's Justin Rose (66) beat Ryder Cup team mate Lee Westwood (69) while U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson carded the best score so far with a six-under 65 which earned him a win over compatriot Hunter Mahan (67).
Rose tops the standings with two points and will play Simpson (one point) on Thursday. Westwood, also on one point, next faces last-placed Mahan.

We'll even show you how to select the right knife for any job, and share tips for keeping all of your knives sharp and well maintained at home.
*Class Bonus: Included with the class price is a Global Nakiri 5½" knife (a $120 value). Thinner and lighter than most chef's knives, the Nakiri's versatile blade boasts a razor-sharp edge that effortlessly dices, minces and chops vegetables.

The Dream Compass

OPEN ROAD INTEGRATED MEDIACopyright © 1991 Jeff Bredenberg

A Letter from Camp
Camp Blade, it's mostly mud up here. And trees, too—specially up northwest, where we haven't logged yet. They say we're a few hunnerd miles north of where Toronto used to be, which is why we only get a truckload of women once a year or so. And that's the heart of the catastrophe I'm telling.
This ain't a casual communication. It's a desperate campaign. I've penned three copies so far, and I am concealing each in the usual manner and sending them along Government Supply lines—south, east, and southwest. A printing press would help, I know, but never have I seen one, they're so illegal. Please read and pass along without delay.
If there is oilcloth to spare, or if there is plastic to be found in your Sector, I would appreciate any covering that would protect these pages better than this cardboard and sackcloth. (And if you must eat while reading, please don't dribble onto the pages. You should see the foul stuff I get up here!)
I am thirty-six. Not married, although I tried once this spring, as you will see. The married campmates lodge in the roomier family barracks, which I had quite looked forward to. They get ten or twelve years there before the children ship off, maybe even longer if the Lawyer is feeling charity.
But I have been skinny to surrender my free time (since a year ago we get two hours) to the what-all demanded by marriage and parenting. Free time I read and write. And the family barracks also are busy places—they say there's always a grubber in your lap, yours or someone else's—and only plumb fools get very showsome with reading. That's the way in Camp Blade anyway, as I'm told it is most places. I lose the sexual convenience, of course, but I can spare centimes for the cathouse every few months. Most of the time I just rub my own bark.
Late an afternoon, it was April 20, one of the Badgers in the lookout tower rang the ka-oong, ka-oong that signals an arrival. Most of the loggers had just bused back into camp, and there already was a fat crowd at the motor port when the troop carrier rolled in. From the whoops and hollers I knew, even down at the warehouse, that it was no wagon of cornmeal. I pulled on jackboots, hauled up the boardwalk, and splashed into the parking lot, thinking to be at a sizable disadvantage for being last there. Stupid feeling really, cause when the match-up starts it's bedlam anyway, no advantage to anyone.
Except that the Badgers go first. There are a couple-twelve Badgers here, but just three were interested, and campmates stood back in a tight circle while they dropped the tailgate and rolled up the canvas top on the truck bed. One lady, old overalls and a standard-issue backpack, jumped the side of the truck and landed in the oil muck on her hands and knees. She squinted piss anger all around and slogged through the crowd. Shouted something like, "I ain't here for this. I'm ticketed to the medical office." Then she mounted the boardwalk and clumped off alone.
The Badgers—what pig pokers—pranced and paced in their uniforms, really sucking in the privilege of first pick. They checked for head lice, held forearms up in the falling light, mumbled questions that I figured to be severely personal. They rumined on the answers all somber. Some of the women were polite.
This was that romance promised in the Government announcements. If you gully those fliers read out at assembly, the females trucked up here are of speckless virtue and upbringing. Not even the dullest of campmates believes this. The women are here for the same reasons as men: Most are mandated; a few are idiot adventurers; one or two, like myself, grew up here; and a few are petty criminals working off sentences in privy upkeep or cathouse duty.
The Badgers carried their brides-to-be off in their arms—no ceremony, just to keep them out of mud. The last, Sgt. Krieger, nodded at us and said, "Your turn."
There was a roar like dogfight gamblers. Some of the women laughed; others screamed in true terror. I felt kinda plumby elbowing my way through, but it was the only way, and I had promised myself I'd try. Ta'ang Beecham grabbed the blonde in the flannel shirt and hauled her onto his shoulders. I'd fancied her, too, but Beecham is a head taller. I was pulling over the wall of the truck bed when I came nose to nose with a face of freckles and red hair.
"Let's go," she said, and I answered, "Yeah." Relieved, I tell you, more to have it over than anything; I could get out of this foolishness and maybe, maybe not, get married. I was starting not to care. I'm no prize by face, and this lady was a match for that. A scar separated her left eyebrow, and her nose had been broken enough that it stair-stepped down and ended in a potato.
The first full-figure glimpse I got of Nora Londi came when old gray-head Jim Freeberg grabbed her thigh. She cracked him on the jaw with the back of her right and stood—6-foot-2, 190 pounds, mostly muscle: "I'm spoken for, Pops." Nora shouldered her duffel and we headed for the boardwalk. She moved like a living pile of rocks.
"You don't have to marry me, y'know," I told.
Nora scratched her nose. "You were there at the truck, and we both went for it. That's how it goes. You're gonna back out, ya?"
"No. But it's custom, not law. I checked with the Lawyer. You have a work assignment, right?"
"Well, you tenny a right to a singles bunk if you want it. Aren't much—a bed with a plywood wall around it and a light hung. It's not often done, understand—by women, I mean."
"I don' mind. Look, I promise not to fall in love, okay?"
We went on long like that, embarrassing, like two dogs nosing each other's butts. Nora thought about it: "It's custom, not law. There's a difference, I s'pose, but they don' talk it up much, do they?" She squeezed my left bicep. "Logger?"
"Supply house. Lifting, uncrating. Move this here, move that there. I can get you anything you want—anything that comes by truck. Hah. Except a woman—we're fresh out."
"I'd like an apple. And tobacco and rolling papers."
I pointed out the temporary quarters, six doors down the boardwalk. We kissed—that's what we were supposed to do, right?—and I went back to work. I had never seen a woman that big.
Pages later ...
My father taught me to read, got me started, least. He disappeared when I was a grubber, like a lot of troublemakers do—readers, brawlers, jesus folk. Who knows where they go? Prisons? Some say you might disappear to a "better" job in a different Sector, which sounds to me a line from another Government flier. Whatever. I don't intend to disappear; sew my eyelids shut, burn the books, or leave them buried—I don't need to read that much.
Ben Tiggle, the warehouse master, is my spiritual father. He is large, dusty, and old, like the warehouse. (The troublous stonework of the warehouse's foundation dates it as a pre-War structure.)
As a tenner I would pry the top off, say, a crate of axe blades. I would wipe the grease-and-straw packing from the steel and mount the blades by number on the storage pegs. An hour in I would find a few pages of scratchings among the axe blades, wrapped in a piece of old raincoat, maybe.
"Instructions," Ben would say, and toss the papers into a corner. "Just instructions. Damned Engerswedes think we don't know anything." But often there were none of the drawings and arrows and such what come with mechanical instructions, and the text was hand-done, nothing from Government presses. Ben has never fessed to reading, of course. I took it to myself that all brochures, instructions, and writings of any kind ended up on a safe, dry shelf and not in the kindling bucket. I still have those scriptings—buried, of course—decades old, some.
The night I met Nora Londi, minutes before lights out at end of free time, there was a rap at my bunk door. I shoved my book under the mattress and said "Huh?" There are no latches in barracks, but most everyone—except Badgers, of course—follow etiquette. Ben Tiggle entered, rolling his big frame onto the foot of my bed (where else was there to go in these little pigeonholes?). He pulled the door closed. His jowly was grim, spoke in low-tone, knowing how the hiss of whispers carries.
"She's a killer," he said. "I'm sorry, but you must stop this now. She has killed six men, and she don' belong here. Now, she's not my business, but you are. Nuff said."
"Pig shit," I said to him, or something like.
"The Transport driver swears it, and he's the one what carries the passengers' papers. Bimmie at the admitting office talked to him. Londi bitch jumped on at New Chicago, where the Transport officers look the other way for a living—for a favor, maybe."
So when the lights went out I was becoming very distressed about my immediate future.
The page was water damaged and torn. The next intelligible words:
... father, I was told as a child, was the first person to use the term Badgers, I forget myself sometimes. Everyone else has. It started as a word play—people who wear badges, and lowlife critters.
The joke was What has a pointed head, a thick neck, and is low to the ground?
A Badger.
The term is official now, and the door I kicked through, while the other campmates lined up for mess hall, read BHQCB, for Badger Headquarters--Camp Blade. Love was not the problem. All Nora Londi and I had, at best, was business: We do this thing together and our lives will be better. But overnight I had developed a frightsome picture of Nora: grinning monsterly, flailing a log chain, a spatter of blood on her work shirt as she lopped off six heads, like Sampson with his jawbone in the jesus folk's fairy tales.
Sgt. Krieger was behind the desk, and his eyebrows rose in that lazy way of Government people.
"They say she's a butcher—Nora Londi. Six men dead, and I've gotta marry her! You guys brought in a murderer!" This I shouted at him, and he was not impressed.
Sgt. Krieger snorted, wiped his nose. "Happens every time we get new blood up here—you know that. Twenty strangers in camp, twenty sets of rumors flying around. And a day ain't passed yet." He jerked open a beaten filing cabinet, flipped down the folders, and pulled one out. He wiped his nose again and read.
"Damn," he said to me. "She's a killer, all right. Happened just a couple months ago. What do they think this is—a prison? Guess I oughtta look up my new woman."
I worked through the day at the warehouse. No word. Ben Tiggle avoided me, staying close to the office. I carted dried beans and powdered milk to mess hall and helped with inventory.
Come free time the Lawyer summoned me to his quarters back of the BHQCB, where the air smells like mold and never moves. He wore a black suit over longjohns, no shirt. He's from the Southlands, where it's so hot, they say, the people shrank. Even at night, the little fellow looked straight out of bed. He was in his official stance: leaning onto the lectern at the foot of his bunk, elbows propped at either side of the Book, which he consulted on all legal matters. (I have never dared ask to read from it. Talk reading to a Government man, and the Monitor would hear of it. Then you disappear.)
He spoke in smoker's voice: "I have ruled your complaint valid. Nora Londi does not belong in free camp. Your tale of butcher is exaggeration, course, but that does not change the legal issue. It seems that, somehow"—he greased a smile—"this Londi woman persuaded a bureaucrat in New Chicago to blur the distinction between prison camp and assignment to free camp. It's unfathomable, I know, but to some imbeciles in New Chicago, the difference is splitting hairs."
"They can't be sending us murderers! I almost married her," I said.
"Murder?" he said, smirking again. "More precisely, it was a manslaughter. There was a large brawl, the report says. The only known participant was Nora Londi, identified by a Badger because of her unique stature. And there was a dead man, a drunk with a cracked skull. One ... dead man."
"Oh. Maybe she didn't kill him," I said, and I was starting to see the mistake. Ag.
"She was involved. And therefore guilty."
"I withdraw the complaint."
"A fart in the wind!" He fluttered his hands at imagined vapors. "She doesn't belong in free camp. Besides, she's gone, shipped off in the same carrier she arrived in."
And we argued on like that and I missed mess call. It did me no good, of course. He had the Book and I didn't. He was the Government and, despite what they say, I wasn't.
So you can see the impossible task, and the help I need from outside. Maps of all Sectors of Merqua would be of great use. And money.
And please locate Nora Londi. Tell her my story. I console myself that anyone might have filed the complaint I did—although none so powerfully as her husband-to-be. I have little practice at emotions, so I am not sure what more to say. Just tell her that I am coming.CHAPTER 2
The Windmill Mountain
"All right, all right. Case number zero-zero-two-three-CB. Twenty-three! What is this place CB that we've had just a twenty-three-history on?" Rosenthal Webb fired out the question in clippy, impatient syllables. He drummed the four finger nubs of his right hand on the polished wood of the conference table.
"Camp Blade."
"Hooo, yes. Camp Blade, by plumb." He should have known, and in a way he did know: The code designations for every Government station, thousands of them, were buried deep in his thought muddle, under the bric-a-brac of twenty years of administrative duties he had performed since his initial training and fieldwork. Now his hair was falling out and his memory was fraying. This didn't feel like a Revolution anymore.
"Sir," ventured Virginia Quale, "Camp Blade is a Northland settlement of approximately—"
Webb clapped his open hand onto the desktop: "A settlement of approximately one thousand—well, maybe fifteen hunnerd by now—people stationed for the purpose of logging and north-post security. It's considered contamination free, relatively speaking, and thus an asset to the gene pool. How am I doing?"
There were seven polite nods around the table. "On the mark, Mr. Webb," said Quale. "We estimate the population well over the old thousand count now, and as for the twenty-three-history, well, from a percentage standpoint, twenty-three cases since we have been keeping records is quite in line with a population that small."
"And this poor piss-plumb number twenty-three," said Webb, flipping a page of the report in front of him, "is a Mr. Anton Takk, we assume, although his dispatch is unsigned. He's a Supply-houser ... um-hmmm. A reader, of course, and a writer." Webb turned another page as he skimmed. "Apparently considering—and this is months ago—going AWOL. We've got some poor plum-sucker in the frozen north who's taken to the old Supply line communique route."
Winston Weet interjected from the far end of the table: "He mentions an axe-blade dispatch. It could have been one of mine, for all I know—we quit those sixteen years ago. Some 'em are probably still rotting in the warehouses."
Webb sucked at his lower lip. "In any case," he said, "we have a reader using a discredited form of communication unknowingly. There's at least a fifty-percent chance that he has announced himself to the Government. Hah. If so, maybe the Monitor will promote him—for taking special initiative for self-education."
"And maybe," responded Quale, "he'll eat him for brekkie."
"Just how much of this letter can we believe?" asked Weet. His fingers repeatedly fripped across the corner of his copy.
Quale seemed surprised by the question. "How much? Why would he lie? He's taking such a chance with the Government in just what he says that they'd surely send him to Blue Hole. And even if the story were mostly balderdash—this 'pile of rocks' named Nora and all of that—it's obvious that there's a man about to bolt from Camp Blade without the least bit of outside experience. He grew up in a logger camp!"
"I've had a little experience with reworking the truth myself," Weet replied. "But I agree. Something is about to happen that we ought to be on top of."
"In any case," Webb said wearily, "I suppose we should try to get to him—preferably before the Government does." There were seven somber nods.

Nurse Practitioner Duties
Some of the duties that they perform include writing prescription medications, discussing the patient's medical history, ordering lab test and performing physical examinations. They can also help a physician with examining and treating walk-in patients and those who call in for an appointment. In fact, the state allows these professionals to perform a wide range of additional duties, specifically when it is compared to the registered nurse.
In some cases, people in these positions want to extend their duties by pursuing a career as medical doctor. To become a medical doctor, each nurse practitioner will have to go back to school to complete an accredited program. When this occurs, they may want to find an accelerated program to accomplish their goals, specifically if they have years of experience in the nurse practitioner position. Finding these positions is not always easy because they are limited in number. The NP to MD bridge programs is one that many nurse practitioners may want to look into.
NP to MD Bridge Programs
NP to MD bridge programs are great for those who have a family at home because they are designed with family in mind. To keep it simple, the student will not have to attend a college out of town. Instead, they can remain in their current location, while they complete their first two years of the program. This program is also designed to accommodate the nurse practitioner's present scheduling because most of these professionals can work a full or a part-time job. The amount of time worked is based on the hospital or clinic and the person's personal preferences. Another benefit to this type of program is being exempt from MCAT, since work experience plays a crucial part in the learning process and entrance requirements.
Program Requirements
The requirements for the program are common to all. Therefore, it is essential for the potential student to have a bachelor's degree and higher from an accredited institution. As a general rule, acceptance in these types of programs will also dictate the GPA requirements that must be met. Which means, the student should possess a 3.0 GPA or better if they want to secure a seat in the program.
One of the major benefits to this type of program is it allows the individual to use the physician experience that they have gained over time. Students will also have an opportunity to prepare for full-time responsibilities by participating in hospital and clinical based rotation schedules. Another benefit of the NP to MD bridge program is each individual can start the program when it fits into their schedule. In some programs, the Nurse practitioner can start the program in January or they may choose to start in August.

How do you replace old copper pipes and fittings without soldering?
More importantly, can you do this without having a ton of money, time, or plumbing experience?
These questions came to me after noticing an old corroding copper shutoff valve in our basement ceiling. In the past I've paid plumbers $90 to $160 to replace one foot sections of copper pipe.
You can easily repair copper pipes and shutoff valves with the greatest plumbing supply ever: SharBite push fit pipe connectors.
I've used SharkBite products in several rental homes, as well as my own house, with no issues. A beginner at plumbing can use SharkBite pipe connectors and can eliminate the use of a plumbing contractor for basic repairs. I love my plumbers but if I can save a little money for my daughter's college fund then I'm gonna do it.
If you know how to use a measuring tape, sharpie marker, and copper pipe cutter (which these days my 10 year can manhandle) you can do this project.
Here are the supplies you'll need:
- SharkBite shutoff valve ($14.05)
- SharkBite Slip End Fitting ($15.24)
- AutoCut copper pipe cutter ($19.00)
- Sharpie marker ($4 for 3 pack)
- Measuring tape ($9.88)
- Extra copper pipe ($7.92)
- These Amazon Affiliate links help support HRT…muchos gracias
The total cost for the SharkBite pipe connectors, AutoCut tool, and extra copper pipe is about $71. Yes, it's a bit expensive but you'll save a ton of money doing these types of plumbing projects yourself.
And the kicker is this project takes all of 10 minutes.
I guarantee this is an easy task and you'll be super happy with the results. If you don't have time to do anything else you should watch the video because it shows you just how easy SharkBite fittings are to use.
So let's get to it!
Removing the Old Shutoff Valve, Pipes & Fittings
First, shutoff the water to your house at the water main. Then drain the water from the lowest point.
I drained all the water from the pipes by turning on the water in the laundry tub. You'll only need to do this for the cold water if the pipe you're working on supplies the exterior of your home. You shouldn't have warm water running to the exterior of your house.
Grab a container that can collect the excess water coming from the pipe you're cutting.
SharkBite fittings need 1 inch of pipe to make a good connection. Keep this in mind when cutting out the old pipes and fittings.
The old corroded shutoff valve that needed to be replaced was in our basement ceiling between two joists. Even though I only needed 1 inch for the new SharkBite valve I measured 1 1/2 inches away from the joist to give some extra cushion. You can make a mark with a sharpie to indicate where you'd like to cut the copper pipe.
Use the AutoCut copper tubing cutter to make the first cut in the old copper pipe.
I LOVE this tool because all you need to do is snap it onto the old pipe, close the gate, and rotate until the cut is complete.
Water will drain from the first cut in the old pipe. And you'll need to collect it in a small container.
Now it's time to measure where the second cut needs to go.
In order to connect the new SharkBite shutoff valve to the old copper pipe you'll need to use a SharkBite Slip End fitting. This pipe connector is different than a traditional SharkBite. You'll be able to slide the copper pipe into it by up to 3 inches. This is super useful when you need to replace pipes and connectors in the middle of a copper line run.
In my case the old shutoff valve was sandwiched between two joists. I measured 1 1/2 inches away from the joist for the first cut.
For the second cut, I measured and made a mark 3 1/2 inches away from the second joist just left of the old valve. This ensured there would be plenty of room for the Slip End fitting.
Cut the copper pipe at this second mark using the AutoCut tool.
With the old shutoff valve and pipe removed it's time to use the SharkBites!!!
Using the Greatest Plumbing Supply Ever: SharkBite Push Fit Pipe Connectors
Spot the end of the first cut you made and measure in 1 inch.
Make a mark with the sharpie.
Push the SharkBite shutoff valve onto the copper pipe until it fits snug and flush with the 1 inch sharpie mark.
BAM!! You connected a shutoff valve in less than 1 minute.
The valve will rotate freely so don't be alarmed or concerned that it isn't properly installed.
Now it's time to push on the Slip End fitting.
Look at the second cut you made in the copper pipe and measure in 1 inch.
Again, make a mark with the sharpie.
Push the Slip End fitting onto the copper pipe until it meets up with the sharpie mark.
Now measure the distance between the the Slip End fitting and the shutoff valve. Add 2 inches to this measurement. This is the total length of copper pipe you need.
Watch this video to see just how easy this entire process is for even the very beginner beginner (and no this isn't a typo).
Replacing Copper Pipes and Fittings with SharkBites
So that's it. Now you know how to use SharkBite fittings to replace copper pipes and shutoff valves.
All of the supplies I used are for 1/2 inch copper pipe. My plumber recommends using Type L copper because it has a thicker wall than Type M. You can see the type by looking on the side of the copper pipe.
Do you have a fear of working on your own plumbing? Is there a simple plumbing project you'd like to do but don't want to start?
Share your thoughts below in the comment section. If you've had a great experience with SharkBite fittings please let me know that as well by leaving a comment.
As usual, THANK YOU so much for visiting Home Repair Tutor. Your time is precious and I really appreciate your support by dropping in today. My goal is to help you with your weekend projects so that your house is a bit closer to being modernized, clean, and safe.
Make it a great day.
P.S. One of my fans pointed something out: if your pipes are properly grounded the SharkBite will break that grounding effect. You'll have to add a copper jumper cable. Attach the jumper cable to the copper pipes on the left and the right of the SharkBite fitting with clamps to ensure the pipe is re-grounded. Thanks Scott for pointing this out!!!

Video: Pantless man on drug spree has message for kids
An Oklahoma man ended his drug-fueled crime spree Monday with some choice words for kids
By PoliceOne Staff
OKLAHOMA CITY – An Oklahoma man ended his drug-fueled crime spree Monday with some choice words for kids as police led him to a cruiser in cuffs.
The pursuit began when Brian Neena pulled out of a parking lo t and nearly hit an Oklahoma County deputy, according to KFOR.
He fled police and eventually ditched his vehicle, hiding in a nearby creek.
A K-9 unit tracked Neena down and found him in a home where he had broken in, stripped off his pants, and cracked open a beer before he was arrested.
Before he was taken to the cruiser, Neena turned to KFOR's camera and said, "Don't do drugs, kids. Do not do drugs. Oxy, meth, the worst things in the whole wide world. They make people do really dumb things."

Ivana Trump to Launch Pop Career After Gaining 'Big Brother' Popularity
Socialite Ivana Trump is using her appearance on a top U.K. reality show to help launch a pop career. Donald Trump's ex-wife proved a hit with viewers of "Britain's Celebrity Big Brother" in January, and the 60 year old is keen to use her newfound popularity in England to conquer the charts.
Celebrity stylist Stuart Phillips says, "Ivana is truly a surprising lady. She's hiding a stunning singing voice and now, with the publicity of 'Big Brother', she would love to launch a pop career. She might seem aloof but she is incredibly talented and creative."
"I arrived at her home and was greeted by her 10 staff. Then suddenly, halfway through the styling, Ivana asked all of her staff, myself and my make-up artist, to stop working and dance to her new record. I was amazed to hear it was Ivana singing. Her music is fun and positive. When people hear her songs they will be surprised."

Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs
Under the Covers Vol. 2
Shout Factory
Jul 28, 2009 Web Exclusive
After addressing the '60s on Under the Covers Vol. 1, Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs direct their musical tribute to the '70s on Vol. 2. Like Vol. 1, this album features able renditions of classic tracks from Grateful Dead ("Sugar Magnolia"), John Lennon ("Gimme Some Truth"), Big Star ("Back of a Car"), Rod Stewart ("Maggie May"), Todd Rundgren ("Hello It's Me" and "Couldn't I Just Tell You"), and a slew of others. Notably, Lindsey Buckingham provides guitar on Fleetwood Mac's "Second Hand News," and Steve Howe recreates his memorable riff on Yes' "I've Seen All Good People: Your Move/All Good People." George Harrison's son Dhani even plays guitar on his dad's "Beware of Darkness."
As for the album as a whole, Sweet and Hoffs are consummate professionals and they dutifully bring their best; however, they have yet to answer the question of why one should listen to their versions instead of the originals. These songs are timeless, but the covers are paint-by-numbers recreations. A couple of tracks bring a new energy: Sweet's singing on David Bowie's "All the Young Dudes" is full of inspiration and vigor, and the shared vocals on Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" remind that this song is better than you remember it to be. But, more than anything, what these tracks do is make one want to listen to the originals. (www.shoutfactory.com)

How Instagrammers Are Reinventing the Hijab
Earlier this summer, Hipster Hijabis blogger Summer Albarcha caused a stir when she posted a photo of herself wearing a skirt from Orthodox Jewish boutique Mimu Maxi. But, even if some of Mimu's clients bristled at the image — criticizing the store for reposting an image of a Muslim woman during the escalating conflict in Gaza — the controversy ended up opening a lot of people's minds to the idea of "modest dressing," not as a tool of oppression, but as something empowering and even, yes, stylish. "It actually reveals a person's true character and ideas as an individual," Albarcha told Refinery29 in a recent interview.
Indeed, Albarcha isn't the only one schooling the Internet in haute hijabis. As the New York Times reports, a growing number of 20- to 30-year-old Muslim women have turned to social media in an attempt to reinvent the hijab. There's Ascia Sarrha — a Kuwaiti American whose Instagram shows her rocking her turban along with such brands as Diesel and BCBG; Yasemin Kanar — a Florida-based entrepreneur whose hijab-styling YouTube videos have been viewed more than a million times; and the online community Mipsterz (short for Muslim hipsters), whose video of Muslim women skateboarding in headscarves to Jay-Z went viral in December.
Of course, as with anything dealing with religion and feminism and fashion, there is some controversy, with commenters telling these women that "they should be at home with their husband instead of on the Internet," according to the Times. And then there's the question of appropriation — does making the hijab fashionable strip the garment of its religious meaning?
But, those seem like small issues. The hijabi movement isn't just concerned with fashion; it has bigger fish to fry — including challenging Western stereotypes and assumptions about Islam and religious dress, and maintaining Muslim values in an increasingly globalized world. Maybe it's time for the world to get used to a real kind of Muslim womanhood — one in which modesty and skate videos are not mutually exclusive.

Measure designed to close a loophole in law criminalizing promotion of prostitution
SALEM Sex workers and their advocates are speaking out against a bill on the fast track for passage in the Oregon Legislature that would criminalize receiving goods or services for promoting prostitution.
The bill is designed to allow district attorneys to prosecute human trafficking cases when traffickers receive goods, services or something else of value in exchange for the sexual contact with victims. Under existing law, traffickers commit a crime of promoting prostitution only when they accept monetary compensation for facilitating sexual contact with a victim.
Many traffickers and exploiters understand the law and have changed their tactics to take advantage of this oversight, said J.R. Ujifusa, a Multnomah County deputy district attorney.
The bill would close that loophole, Ujifusa said.
Matilda Bickers, a strip club dancer and founder of the Portland chapter of Sex Workers Outreach Project, said the proposed provision makes no distinction between sex traffickers and pimps or client screening services that receive compensation in a consensual business relationships with sex workers.
Unfortunately, there are actually systems in place which would be defined as pimping in this bill, which are actually ways that sex workers use to stay safe, Bickers said.
Bickers gained publicity last year for suing Casa Diablo Vegan Strip Club in Northwest Portland for wage theft and harassment.
The bill passed the House unanimously Feb. 4. The Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously voted Monday to recommend the bill for consideration by the Senate.
Advocates with the Sex Workers Outreach Coalition said the bill could hurt sex workers who exchange sexual favors for food, shelter and other things they need to survive.
My other concern, as someone who is providing social services, is I do know a lot of folks who are using survival sex work to get goods and services that they need, said Katlyn Tracy of the Sex Workers Outreach Coalition, a coalition of social service providers who advocate for sex workers. This bill would basically criminalize folks who might provide that for them, but it doesnt do anything to provide services.
Joel Shapiro, an attorney and lobbyist involved in a legislative work group on child sex trafficking, said the proposed change affects only sex traffickers because it requires involvement by a third party involved in the transaction.
If you exchange something like a place to sleep, that is prostitution, Shapiro said. There is no third party involved.
About 16 percent of prostitution transactions involve an exchange of goods or services, according to the Demanding Justice Report in 2014 by Shared Hope International.
About 2 percent of those are drug transactions; the other 14 percent involved other goods or services.
