Health & Pregnancy
How Will You Handle Your Labor Pain?
In this article
If you're concerned about the pain that may come with labor and delivery, you're not alone. You've probably heard equally as many "hospital horror stories" as "easier than expected" ones. In truth, women experience and tolerate pain differently. For some pregnant women, focused breathing is all they need to get through labor and childbirth; others need the relief that painkillers can provide.
There are a number of different medications a woman can take during labor and childbirth. It is important to discuss them with your health care provider before your "birth day."
Keep in mind that your pain relief choices may be governed by certain circumstances of your labor and delivery. Throughout your labor, your health care provider will assess your progress and how you are feeling in order to help you choose a pain relief technique.
Getting pain relief should not cause you to feel inadequate. You are the only one who knows how you feel, so decisions regarding control of your labor pain must be made specifically by you. Also, don't worry about the safety of the medicine. All medications provided during childbirth are considered safe for both you and your baby.
What Pain Relief Medications Are Available for Labor and Childbirth?
There are three main ways to provide pain relief during labor and childbirth:
- Local anesthesia may be used by your health care provider during delivery to numb a painful area in or around the vagina if stitches are needed. Local medications do not reduce discomfort during labor.
- Regional anesthesia (also called an epidural or spinal anesthesia) is administered by an anesthesiologist (a doctor who delivers pain medicine) during labor to reduce discomfort. In both epidural and spinal anesthesia, medications are placed near the nerves in your lower back to "block" pain in a wide region of your body while you stay awake. Regional anesthesia greatly reduces pain throughout the birthing process. It can also be used if a cesarean birth becomes necessary.
- General anesthesia puts you to sleep during the birthing process. While safe, general anesthesia is rarely used and only during emergencies because it prevents you from seeing your child immediately after birth.
Pain relieving medications can be injected into a vein or a muscle to dull labor discomfort. These medications do not completely stop pain, but they do lessen it. Because they affect your entire body and may make both you and your baby sleepy, these drugs are mainly used during early labor to help you rest and conserve your energy.

In a world where most social interaction is almost exclusively online through social media it was only a matter of time before more aspects began to show up in films. Hot off the Veronica Mars film, Ryan Hansen is taking on just this subject with his latest film Friended to Death, but will it be able to juggle the comedic nature and the importance of this issue together or will it need to be unfriended?
Friended to Death follows a social media junkie who fakes his own death via social media just to see which of his "friends" will show up to the funeral. The idea behind this film showcases a couple of important issues in today's society but using dark comedy to keep it from being too deep. Hansen does a great job with this character bringing enough to keep his obnoxious nature that you understand why people act the way they do about him, but also feel bad for him. The idea seems a bit silly, but plays perfect for the crazy dark comedy it is, but also allows the sadness of this guy's existence to represent a lot of people that are living the same way without getting too heavy. As a comedy it works well bringing some old school creativity to the characters having them trying to trick each other and hold the lie together which when does right is fun and here it does work. There are numerous moments that are just silly and downright mean that sometimes makes you wonder why the guy keeps helping him, but it showcases the loneliness of them both just in different ways.
While this film is all comedy, there are some cleverly crafted undertones that actually make this film deliver a bigger message, but whether you can read in to it or not it is still worth checking out. Hansen makes for a great lead and it is surprising he hasn't headlined more, but let's hope we see more from him soon. Send your friend request and check out Friended to Death when it premieres on VOD on May 9th.

So I'm upstairs, in the newly-tidied Happy Room, writing plans for meals, our overall schedule, what I want to accomplish in school lessons, and what extras need to be fit in, somehow. I have water with a straw (my favorite), Andrew Peterson singing, and lots of looseleaf paper. It really doesn't take much to make me happy! Actually, it just being a sunny Saturday makes me happy, so everything else is a bonus.
I started reading "Around the World in Eighty Days" last night. It's on Caiden's 5th grade reading plan, and while I love Jules Verne, I've never read this one. My goal is to read all the books on his list, even the ones I'd read years ago (Island of the Blue Dolphins, yay!) and take notes on what I want to remember to discuss with him when he reads them in the fall. The list is immense, and I have no idea how I'm going to read them all and still do the laundry and feed my family! But it's a goal I'm excited about reaching.
In non-school related reading, I finished "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" yesterday, about a friendship between a Chinese boy and Japanese girl in Seattle during WWII. I love historical fiction--it helps fill in gaps I have from having had history teachers who were football coaches first and teachers second (We actually watched deer hunting videos in class when my freshman history teacher, the varsity head coach, was out. That's what he planned for his sub!! Good grief, it's no wonder I don't know anything about history!) Anyway, the book is a really sweet read.
I keep waking up in the middle of the night and am currently occupying myself by redecorating our little guest house in my mind. It works wonders for falling back asleep, and I think I've come up with a great plan. I have to convince my husband to move my treadmill to the back porch, and give away both the old big screen TV and our little loveseat so I can move in different furniture, but I think if I can cast enough vision, he'll agree. We've never decorated the space at all, and in my mind it's going to look really pretty and welcoming when it's done! Decorating the guest house is all part of a bigger plan, but I'm not ready to reveal all that just yet. More thinking and planning first . . .
Texas is proving to be her typical warm, sunny self this winter, and my beds are filled with blooming daffodils. Whoever planted them years ago loved them, and they are planted abundantly along our entire driveway bed, which goes for about 100 feet. They're so cheery and beautiful in the winter, and they make me want to get out there and weed! (You know you live in Texas when the weeds grow in the winter!) Somehow, I'm going to fit in weeding this weekend. I know that sounds ironic--weekends are supposed to be relaxed and slow. But I'm married to a pastor, and our church has services both Saturday evening and Sunday, so my weekends are full! Caiden is in winter basketball, with a few more weeks to go, and his games are on Saturday, too. So it's hard to add extra things to an already-full weekend.)
Here are a few random pictures of what we've been doing this winter:
Climbing trees,
reading, reading, reading, (Where are Grayson's covers? Probably in a fort somewhere.)
learning and building and creating and playing together,
teaching our kindergartener to read!
this quilt and loved the vintage, scrappy look of it. That's my favorite kind of quilt--one that looks like Grandma made it out of her old dresses and housecoats, with no planned color scheme. It's hand-appliqued and paper pieced, so each of those squares is hand-sewn before being machine pieced together. It's going to take 252 of those little squares, which felt impossible when I started. But I just work on sewing them at night when Chris and I watch TV together, and I already have two of the nine rows finished. I already love it. If you look, you'll see the four-piece blocks form a circle, but when the blocks are set next to each other, they also form Xs, see? So Grayson and I decided to call it the Love Quilt, since it's made up of Xs and Os! It's insane to think of making a hand-sewn quilt right now, when I'm having a hard time keeping up with the laundry, but making beautiful things keeps my soul happy.
So that's what's going on around here lately. Reading, playing, learning, going, doing, making. My favorite things! Now back to making lists . . .

Bill Evans: Young and Foolish
Young and Foolish
Bill Evans (piano)
Everybody Digs Bill Evans (Riverside RCD-1129-2)
Bill Evans (piano), Sam Jones (bass), Philly Joe Jones (drums).
Composed by Albert Hague & Arnold B. Horwitt.
Recorded: New York, December 15, 1958
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
At largo pace, with minimal flourish and maximal feeling, Bill Evans transforms a 1955 Broadway show tune into a deeply moving experience, quite unlike the florid, superficial prettiness of conventional jazz piano balladry. Evans strips the melody of unnecessary decoration, introduces delicate harmonic hues derived from Chopin, Debussy and Satie, and allows his piano to sing. This gets our vote for Most Beautiful Modern Jazz Piano Performance of All Time. As Miles Davis, who seldom had a good word to say about anyone, allowed of Evans in a cover testimonial: "He plays the piano the way it should be played."

text: 23 February 2013 archive See all show photos THE key to Peter Dundas' success at Pucci has been bridging the gap between its past and its future - something which he more overtly illustrated with his autumn/winter 2013-14 collection this evening, going back into the archives to revive the Otto print and bring it back to life with his own injection of sex appeal and glamour. "I always like to look at the prints from the archives and this collection was a celebration of the Pucci girls, it was about being happy and looking good inside and out. Fashion is a remedy, it's about happiness," said Dundas backstage, as one of his very own modern-day Pucci girls, Rita Ora, congratulated him. The Otto print stepped out first as little skirts to leopard-print belts and sequin tops - there was quite an appropriate Sixties sensibility about it all, the hair and make-up especially effective and on our to-learn list for next season. We then wandered into Seventies vixen territory for fringed jackets and sequinned shifts, capes and big coats of furry proportions that came in pretty pastel shades: pink, violet, sky blue and nude. It was all very short (read sexy) in natty little shifts that tied with bows at the back or actual shorts in tiger print - the Pucci girl's wilder side taking hold now. There was black lace and embellishment, and shaggy and feathered coats, a bohemian spirit leading throughout and thus the original spirit of the Pucci girl being rekindled in the here and now. Fun it was, and a great way to bring back any of the typical and heritage Pucci that might have been missing while still bringing something new, which is why Dundas is rightly there.

"24" actress Kim Raver and showrunner Jon Cassar attended the Monte-Carlo TV festival earlier this month and Ecran Large posted some excerpts of what to expect in the upcoming sixth season. What they revealed will surprise you:
Asked if she'll be back for Season Six due to her commitment to the new "The Nine" series next year, Raver replied "We've talked about it with Kiefer and we have a couple of options so that Audrey, my character, should appear in season six while I'll be shooting The Nine... we'll see if it's possible to do both at the same time. Furthermore, I would also very much like to be part of the upcoming movie".
Cassar reveals he plans to solve the cliffhanger left at the end of last season with the standard 10-minute 'prequel video' that'll go online and on the DVD set that the series has been doing regularly for the past few years. As for the threat situation this season? "In the past seasons, Jack always tried to prevent terrorists attacks but in season 6, one of the idea that we might picked up would be that these attacks already occurred at the very beginning of the season. What would be the situation if something like 10 nuclear bombs had already exploded in a raw all around the country?".
Cassar shot down rumours that filming would take place in New York? "I have no idea where this one came out from. All I can say is that we're starting the preps mid-July in L.A. and that's where we're going to shoot. Right now the screenwriters are working on the script and nothing is a 100% sure but if anything should happen in NY in the upcoming season, we would probably fake it in LA".
As for the movie? "Nothing is a 100% sure right now but yes, I'm the upfront director for the job [...] our goal is to get the whole crew working on the series involved in this movie. We don't want to give it to a director who's never done a single episode of the show. As for the actors, the only one I can confirm is a 100% sure right now is Kiefer (laughs)".

Washington, D.C. —Once again, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) show the gap between the pay of federal employees and workers in the private sector is more than 20 percent—in favor of the private sector—sharply undercutting arguments the federal workforce is overpaid, the leader of the nation's largest independent union of federal employees said today. "Under the law, BLS is charged with collecting these data," said President Colleen M. Kelley of the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), "and BLS reports that for 2010, the pay gap has widened to 24 percent, on average, from 22 percent."BLS surveys of public and private sector jobs performing similar work in the same geographic area consistently have shown a pay gap in favor of the private sector. The current BLS information was presented at a recent meeting of the Federal Salary Council, which, in turn, makes recommendations about federal pay matters to the President's Pay Agent. That latter body is made up of the directors of the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management, along with the Secretary of Labor. President Kelley said "There is a great deal of misinformation being advanced, largely for partisan political purposes, that federal employees are overpaid. In fact, the opposite is true." The NTEU leader noted the important role played by federal employees in the life of the nation, from homeland security to environmental protection; from ensuring the safety and efficacy of the nation's food supply, prescription medications and medical devices to key roles in reform of the health care and financial regulatory systems; and much more. "There is a direct link between the work of federal employees and the quality of life in our country," the NTEU leader said. "Polls show that when Americans have contact with federal employees, they understand, respect and appreciate their vital role in their lives." As the largest independent federal union, NTEU represents 150,000 employees in 31 agencies and departments.

Trojan baseball splits non-district contests
The Charlotte Varsity Trojans were able to split non-district games during their Spring Break week of action. After taking down the Pettus Eagles at home, Charlotte suffered a hard fought battle in Nixon against the Nixon-Smiley Mustangs. Charlotte falls to 11-3 overall as they prepare for the start of district action.
Pettus- The Pettus Eagles were in town for a non-district contest last Tuesday, March 13th. Charlotte's Isaac Santos had a great day on the mound, as he held the Eagles to just one hit and one run the entire contest. Santos also struck out 14-batters during his impressive outing.
Charlotte's offense on the other hand, used four hits and four Pettus defensive errors to produce four runs en route to their 4-1 victory over the Eagles.
"Isaac threw the ball really well. His breaking stuff was just nasty," stated Coach Gates referring to Santos's great day on the mound.
At bat- Santos 0-2-1run scored, Javier Zuniga 1-4, Dilan Weigang 2-4-1RBI, Nick Luna 1-1-2runs scored, Tyler Cantu 0-0-1run scored, Felipe Vallejo 0-2, Jose Rodriguez 0-3-1RBI, Steven Oropeza 0-3, James De- Leon 0-2, John Mark Pesqueda 0-1 and Johnny Luna 0-1.
Nixon-Smiley- The Trojans traveled east to Nixon last Thursday to face the Stangs in what turned out to be a high scoring affair. At the end of the day, despite having the same number of hits as the Stangs and less defensive errors, Charlotte still came up just short at the end of the contest.
The Trojans were led by Nick Luna and Dilan Weigang on the mound, who pitched six innings in the game. Luna pitched the first 5.0 innings, allowing eight hits and 12- runs (8 earned) while walking three and striking out ten in the game. Weigang pitched the final inning, as he allowed one hit while walking one and striking out three.
The Trojans jumped on the Mustangs early, as they led 6-1 after three innings of play. Nixon-Smiley rallied back, scoring four runs in the bottom of the fourth closing the gap to 6-5 going into the fifth inning.
Charlotte was able to regain the lead, scoring four runs in the top of the fourth, but went on to surrender three runs in the bottom of the 5th and four in the bottom of the 6th inning. As a result, Charlotte fell to the Stangs 12-11 in an eventful competition on the diamond.
The Trojans and Mustangs finished with nine hits each as Charlotte's defense gave up three defensive errors compared to six by the Mustangs.
"We beat ourselves. We had leads of 7-1 and 11-6 and couldn't hold them. The bad part is, Nick pitched well enough and deserved to get the win," stated Coach Gates.
At bat- Santos 3-4-2runs scored-1RBI, J. Zuniga 1-5- 1run scored-1RBI, Weigang 1-4-2runs scored-1RBI, N. Luna 0-4-1RBI, Rodriguez 2-5-2RBIs, J. Luna 2-3-1run scored-2RBIs, Cantu 0-3-1run scored-1RBI, Vallejo 0-1-1run scored, De- Leon 0-2-1run scored, Tijerina 0-0-1run scored, Estrada 0-0- 1run scored and Pesqueda 0-1.
Upcoming Games- On Friday, March 23rd the Trojans will host the Sabinal Yellow Jackets for a 7:00 p.m. varsity only contest.
On Tuesday, March 27th the Trojans travel to Lytle to face the Pirates in a non-district competition with a 7:00 p.m. varsity contest.

Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool will reap the long-term rewards of Brendan Rodgers' 'brave' decision to put his faith in the club's pool of young talent.
The veteran centre-back has been impressed by the manner in which the likes of Raheem Sterling, Suso and Andre Wisdom have made the step up to first-team level this season.
All three played their part in helping the Reds secure a draw at Chelsea on Sunday, and Carragher feels the character they've displayed at such tender ages bodes well for the club's future.
"They have done really well all season," said Carragher.
"To go away from home to a place like Stamford Bridge, probably the toughest place we've been to this season, and come away with a positive result bodes well for the future.
"The young lads who were out there - Andre, Raheem and Suso - all played their part.
"I thought Suso did really well when he came on, he did the same when he came on against Anzhi [last Thursday] as well.
"They were not just playing against one of the top teams in the country, but one of the top teams in Europe.
"It's a great learning curve for them.
"They are doing really well for us and that's why the manager keeps picking them.
"You have to think of the benefits they will get from experiences like that in the future.
"Credit to them and also credit to the manager for putting them in there. He's been very brave the way he has given the young players a chance."
Please take 30 seconds to sign an e-petition and help a dying mother gain justice for her son after 23 years>>

In the first half, Analisa Marquez got the Wildcats ahead with her first goal of the season at the 33:33 mark. Marquez scored off a give and go with Gianna DeSaverio.
In the second half, DeSaverio scored at the 53:56 mark to give the Wildcats a 2-0 lead. Kaity Heath played a ball long to DeSaverio, and she was able to draw out the goalkeeper and scored from the right side of the box.
Defensively, Chelsea McIntyre had four saves in the game. The back four played strong keeping the Beavers from getting the ball deep.
"I think that we're obviously in a position that this is another game opportunity to respond to how we played on Friday," said Tobias." We took better care of the ball, created better chances and we were tighter defensively."

The University of Tulsa's basketball team from 1993-94 team was recognized earlier this month at halftime of a home game.
Hard to believe its been two decades since they stunned UCLA in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. As a matter of fact it was 20 years ago today.
I don't remember much about that TU team because I was attending school out of town at the time. But what I do remember is it being named as one of the teams to be playing in the regional at what was then known as the Myriad in Oklahoma City, just over 100 miles southwest from campus.
The Golden Hurricane, seeded 12th, had the likes of Shea Seals, now a TU assistant, Gary Collier, Alvin "Pooh" Williamson, J.R. Rollo, Lou Dawkins, just to name a few, on their roaster and were coached by Tubby Smith, who was in his third season with the program.
They were matched up against the Bruins, seeded fifth in the regional.
When you think of UCLA basketball, a rich tradition and history of college basketball comes to mind. The names of John Wooden, Lew Alcindor (now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar), Bill Walton and other legends who helped the program win 10 national championships in a 12-year span from 1964-75. The Bruins had been in elite status at that time as well and were favored to beat TU.
UCLA players, including Ed O'Bannon, one of its stars at that time, also knew it. When players were asked questions about Tulsa by media in a press conference, O'Bannon, made comments indicating about not knowing where the city is on the map.
That proved to be bulletin board material because the Golden Hurricane went out and dispensed with the Bruins, 112-102, stunning the college basketball world nation.
I was in class when the game was being played. But when I got out and to my car, I tuned to the radio and learned that the upset was about to be made. I heard that TU also led by as much as 49-17 at one point in the game, and 63-38 at halftime.
Headlines in the state papers the next day read "Where's Tulsa? Ask UCLA now," and "A Geography Lesson."
TU went on to stun in-state rival Oklahoma State in the next round before succumbing in the Sweet Sixteen to eventual national champion Arkansas in Dallas.
Ironically, the loss spurred the Bruins to win the national championship one year later.
The win over the Cowboys seems to be more remembered by most TU fans, but to me, how they manhandled UCLA in the first round will always stand out about that squad.
Ironically, this year's version of the Golden Hurricane will also be playing UCLA Friday night in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. TU is once again an underdog as a No. 13 seed against a No. 4 seed. This time it is San Diego, close to the Bruin's home.

BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) — Nike says its third-quarter net income rose 7 percent as price increases and high demand for its sneakers and athletic gear compensated for rising costs.
The results beat analysts' expectations, but higher costs for materials, labor and freight ate into the company's gross margin, or the amount of each dollar in revenue a company actually keeps.
The world's largest athletic shoe and clothing company said Thursday that its net income for the quarter that ended Feb. 29 rose to $560 million, or $1.20 per share.
That's compared with $523 million, or $1.10 per share, in last year's third fiscal quarter. And it beats the $1.17 per share that analysts polled by FactSet expected on average.
Revenue rose 15 percent to $5.85 billion, which is the amount analysts expected.

When asked by the admin, my Heroku worker generates a report, compressed as a ~10MB ZIP file.
Generation takes about one minute, so it is done by
Once generation is done, where to store the file so that the web dyno can serve it?
tmpfolder is not the same from one dyno to another, it seems.
- Free database (5MB) is not large enough to contain the 10MB file
Is there no option besides storing the file in the database and paying to switch from 5MB to 20GB database?
Note: There is only one admin, and generating the report is a rare event.

Halo RPG!
Alright, i had a Halo RPG at the JK board already, but i'd like another storyline as well. Plus, i also wanna play covenant. This story-line takes place a few years before Halo.
since most of us know what happened on planet Halo, and i don't wanna keep posting spoilers for you that don't, we're gonna RP somewhere else in the galaxy. So you can't be the masterchief. You can join either the UNSC armed forces or the Covenant Warrior Kaste.
class: (sniper, heavy weaps, normal marine, pilot, Etc.)
rank: (Luitenant, private, something like that.)
Looks: (optional)
Age: (optional)
if you want, you can even be a ship AI, like Cortana, only that'd be a bit hard to RP with, i guess...
UNSC weapons: Frag grenade, pistol (2X zoom), Assault rifle (compass, flashlight, automated fire), shotgun, sniper rifle (Armor piercing, 2X adn 8X zoom, shoots trough multiple targets), rocket launcher (2X zoom, two rockets in magazine).
UNSC vehicles:
Scorpion tank. Crew: 1 driver, 1 gunner. Weapons: main cannon (explosive shells) and a machine gun. 4 passengers can sit on the sides.
Warthog Recon vehicle: crew: 1 driver, 1 gunner. Weapons: triple-barreled minigun. 1 passenger can sit in the side-seat.
Pelican dropship: crew: 1. Weapons: none. room for 8 passengers in the back plus one warthog.
Vehicles can only be destroyed by explosive weapons, but the creew can sometimes be shot from outside. (but now in the scorpion)
Covenant Warrior Kaste.
Name: (optional, since i don't know what kinda names cobenant have)
Race: (choose from the races listed below)
Covenant weapons: Plasma rifle (automatic fire, overheats after long use ), plasma pistol (Semi-automatic, can overcharge giving a strong homing bolt that overheats the pistol), needler (fires several homing needles that explode some seconds after impact, and bounce off flat surfaces), Shade (stationary gun, armored from front, unprotected from rear and sides, fires three plasma beams at once, rapid fire, and doesn't overheat.), plasma grenade (same as frag, only sticks to enemies and their vehicles, and explodes a while later.), Fuel rod gun (fires explosive plasma shells rapidly, but can overheat, only usable by hunters.). Overheated weapons need to cool down a while before they can be used again. Only covenant know how to reload covenant weapons, apart from the Needler.
Covenant vehicles:
Ghost: crew: 1 driver. Weapons: two plasma cannons. This vehicle floats above the ground.
Banshee: crew: 1 pilot. Weapons: two plasma cannons, one Fuel rod launcher. This vehicle floats.
Tank: crew: (I don't know, i think one driver). Weapons: one VERY strong cannon, that fires an explosive plasma bolt in an arch. This vehicle floats.
Dropship: Crew: I think one pilot. Weapons: Triple barreled plasma turret. Room for 8 passengers and i think also a vehicle.
Covenant races:
Grunt: 5' tall, and are very weak. They carry huge life-support packs on their backs and need breath masks. They always travel in packs. Grunts are the only covenant that fit in the Shades. They can use most covenant weapons, except the Fuel rod gun.
Jackal: Superior sight, hearing and smell. They are fast, but weak, and they carry energy shields (sorta like the gungans) wich they can use to deflect weapon fire. An overcharged shot from the plasma pistol can bring their shield down. They only use Plasma pistols.
Elite: The are 8' 6'' tall and very strong, so they can hit their opponents. They can order around the other covenant. They use either an overshield, that deflects weapon fire all around but ultimatly depletes and needs to recharge (it can be penetrated by a sniper rifle bullet) or active camouflage, rendering them almost completely invisible but making them unable to wear overshields, making them a lot weaker. They pilot all the remaining Covenant vehicles. They can use almost any covenant weapon, except the fuel rod gun. They also sometimes use lightsaber-like weapons, that can penetrate overshields and instantly kill someone. It is directly integrated into their armor (at least i think it is, since you can't pick it up.) This lightsaber thingy remains visible under active camouflage.
Hunters: 12' tall, but in their combat state they are only 8' tall. They carry fuel rod guns integrated into their armor and metal shields capable of defleting almost any weapon fire, wich they also use as melee weapons. They are very strong, and i don't recommend playing them, since it is easy to Godmode with them.
Alright, here's my char:
Name: Khan.
Race: Elite.
Bio: Khan entered the war from the beginning. He has gained many victories for the Covenant forces, using brilliant military tactics. He is now aboard a Covenant warship, the Truth and Reconciliation, en route to one of Earth's outlying colonies...
I'll wait till i have more participants till i start. You can also join the other Halo RPG but it has a bit different storyline... Or you can join both, like i do.
Name:Robert Sanchez
class:Normal Marine
Bio: Robert has been inmany wars with covenant all he has survived.
Robert awaited the incoming Covenant battle ships.He loaded his assult rifle and waited.
Name: Alex Galav
Species: Human
Status: Space Pirate/ex-ODST trooper
Age: 32
Description: Bald with one eye, the other has a cyberkinetic implant which covers a small portion of his head in a metallic silver, his eye glows yellow there. That cyberkentic eye is partially ran by an AI for targetting purposes.
Alex just completed a successful raid on cruiser headed on a salvage mission to Sigma Octanus 4. He left the passengers unconcious and took all their valuables. His small frigate ship just came out of hyperspace, right into a space battle.
OOC: Ooh, finally another character... Alright, let the games begin!
IC: the Covenant seemed to be winning. They had already destroyed two UNSC frigates, and were busy with a third one. Soon, this colony would also belong to them...
Alex got an idea as he watched the covenant destoryer destoy UNSC ships. He thought he might as well lay low until the battle is over and be a 'clean up' crew. He turned off everything on his ship other than the neccessities and waited.
((I want to join the side that has less unless they are even. So which side is Jedi Malastar on?))
This sucks because im on the planet you are above waiting.
Robert saw alot of gun fire coming from the covenant ships above him.He pulled out a rocket launcher and fired four shots at a covenant ship.It went down and hit the ground were most of the marine army were.Dust flew everywhere and Robert yelled"OK that should have angered them".5 marines then went to check the ship.
Covenant warrior caste
Name: Jalas
Race: Elite

Side: UNSC Armed Forces
Name: Aaryn Chaar
Class: Sniper
Bio: Aaryn is a new recruit to the armed forces however his ambition is strong because of the fact his father was killed by the Covenent and he is determined to get his revenge
IC-Aaryn takes out his pistol and starts battling the Covenent with the other marines on his ship "Gah......they're everywhere"
Alarm: Beep Beep Beep Beep
"What the.......the engines are down....dammit.......looks like we're gonna crash land on that planet" "ALRIGHT MEN KILL ALL COVENENT IN YOUR SIGHT AND BRACE FOR IMPACT" Aaryn takes out his sniper rifle and begins shooting the elites that begin to board the ship. As the planet below them gets closer and closer the covenent start to overflow the ship. "Hmmm....." Aaryn then throws a grenade into the airlock blowing it away and the covenent along with it and as the Airlock closes the ship crashs into the planet.
((That Evil is on))
With a thin stroke of luck the ship crash-landed and many marines survived the impact.....they could have died in the crash though heaven smiled upon them as they got up.....injured....but alive..
Robert sees a 4 covenant dropships lan.Robert fires at the grunts that got out of the first dropship.
(by the way dark we crash-landed near where you were...so those covenent ships are near us)
"Alright men stay inside the ship until we are full healed and ready....we dont know what enemies await us here."
(Aight cya there)
Alex watched to his dismay as several of the ships either went to the nearby planet or crashed there. He decided to take a closer look. He brought his ship, which is a refurbished UNSC small freighter, to the surface of the planet. He brought his ship behind a large hill and he got out. He stepped up the hill and saw several covenent landed covenent dropships and in the distance he saw a crashed UNSC ship as well as several marines. He watched as the two armies and had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen.
"Ugh........men.....men.....the covenent....are coming" Aaryn came out with his sniper rifle in hand and fired at the many elites that were coming down.....but soon they were outnumbered.

Before the ship Jalas was on made ground fall, there was an alarm going off. The humans were striking a covenant colony. The forces of the planet were fighting them off, but, could use some assistance. The colony was very close, so the dropship set course for there. :jawa :jawa
((That totally contradicts with everything in halo, 'being the leader of the spartan II's'))
OOC:Is it too late to join?
If not:

Name: Johnathan Stacker
class: ODST
rank: Colonel
Looks: Black Armor
Age: 36
Bio: Colonel of the UNSC's Black Ops. Rest is classified.
"Purple, that's all this damn Covenant Cruiser has, is all purple."
Stacker and his squad were slowly moving up the hall of a Covenant Capital Ship. Behind the lay bodies of Grunts, Elites, and Jackels. Sergeant McVay places a RTU (Reaction Timer Unit) on the door, and blows it. The members of ODST Foxtrott barge into the room.
Two Covenant Elites turn towards the squad from where they were conversing, but before their weapons were raised, two sniper rounds pearced their helmets, and they dropped dead. Stacker raised his Battle Rifle and put two bursts into a Jackels skull, and another three into and Elite's. Corporal Higgins voice comes over the comm.
"Sir, I got a dropship preped for flight."
"Affirmitive. On our way."
The ODSTs move swiftly and board the dropship, but not without leaving a present. The dropship exits the hangar, and an explosion from within follows. The Furry Tactical Nuke had done it's job, and now it was time to do theirs on the planet below.

Former first lady Barbara Bush, 88, rang in the New Year from her bed at Houston Methodist Hospital after being admitted Monday for a "respiratory-related" illness. Her husband hospitalized at the same facility for bronchitis in 2012.
Although she and her husband, President George H.W. Bush, 89, have continued to make public appearances, both have been in poor health the past few years.
Mrs Bush underwent surgery for a perforated ulcer in 2008, followed by heart surgery in March 2009 to correct a severe narrowing of the aorta. She was later readmitted to the hospital after suffering a (mild) relapse of Graves Disease in 2010.
Graves is an autoimmune disease that generally causes the thyroid, to enlarge to twice its size or and become overactive, with causing increased heartbeat, muscle weakness, disturbed sleep, and irritability. It can also cause bulging eyes (as seen in Mrs Bush), as well as affect the skin, heart, circulation and nervous system. She was first diagnosed with the disease in 1989.
Despite her present condition, her family and medical personnel stated that she is "in great spirits," and both former President Bill Clinton and the Obamas have sent their best wishes and prayers for a speedy recover to her.

College Hockey:Wisconsin Wins Battle of Top Ranked Teams
Burish Score Late Game Winner for Badgers
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — It almost seemed fitting that that the two top-ranked teams – No. 1 Michigan and No. 2 Wisconsin – would need the last two minutes of play to decide the game.
With the clock ticking down, Adam Burish took a perfect feed from Robbie Earl, split the Michigan defense, and darted in on the breakaway. Matt Hunwick made a last ditch effort to swat the puck away, but Burish made no mistake, beating Noah Ruden five-hole and sending his team to 3-2 victory.
"We knew Michigan was going to be flying, No. 1 versus No. 2, and we knew it would be decided by a goal," defenseman Tom Gilbert said. "Luckily, Burish is a quick guy and went down on the breakaway and finished for us."
But while the Badgers made the last tally on the scoreboard count, it was the unsung defensive plays that kept the high-powered Michigan offensive at bay.
Goaltender Brian Elliott stopped 23 of 25 shots and held off a Michigan resurgence in the third period. After tallying just 11 shots through two periods, the Wolverines peppered the Badger netminder with 14 shots in the third. Elliott flinched only once, allowing the tying goal early in the third. After that, he stoned Michigan on every opportunity.
"Holding these guys to two goals, you gotta thank El for that," Gilbert said. "He was everywhere. I don't even think there was a net behind him; he stopped everything."
Wisconsin hasn't allowed more than two goals against in any game this season. And it was no different this weekend. The Badgers allowed a total of three goals against Michigan State and Michigan in the College Hockey Showcase, helping the Badgers to improve to 11-1-2 on the season.
The No. 1 ranked team in the nation didn't look it at all this weekend, as Michigan dropped both games to No. 7 Minnesota and Wisconsin in the College Hockey Showcase. The Wolverines came in with a 9-1-1 record but failed to match their opponent's intensity and strength for 60 minutes.
"It's time for guys to take a peek in the mirror and start owning up," Michigan captain Andrew Ebbett said. "We had a good first eleven games, but now we see what it's like in the rest of the country, and those are two top-five teams right there. It's time to wakeup and get back to the basics."
Although the score was close through two periods, Wisconsin controlled play and capitalized on the few mistakes Michigan made.
After a scoreless opening frame, the Badgers finally put a goal up on the board 59 seconds into the second. Noah Ruden used his right arm to stop Jack Skille's point shot but left a dangerous rebound in the crease. Ryan MacMurchy found the loose puck and deposited it in the empty net.
A miscue cost Michigan on Wisconsin's second goal. David Rohlfs fanned on a pass to defensive partner Mark Mitera. Instead of rolling around the left boards, the puck bounced right on to the stick of Earl. Earl ripped a shot from the faceoff dot that sailed by Ruden midway through the period.
Tim Miller cut the Badger lead in half a minute later on a gritty individual effort. Miller dragged the puck all the way around the net, stuffing the wraparound behind Elliott. It was Miller's first goal of the season.
While Wisconsin shut down the Michigan offense on almost every attempt, the Wolverines turned to their number one strength – the power play – to get the score tied in the third.
Jack Johnson slipped in from the point, ripping a shot from the low slot. Elliott made the initial save, but Brandon Naurato batted in the rebound. The Wolverines erupted in celebration on the ice, seemingly letting out the offensive frustration they had felt the entire game.
But Michigan's final mistake was the most costly. The Wolverines' top defensive pairing of Johnson and Hunwick failed to close out Burish on the breakaway.
Michigan was without the services of injured forward Brandon Kaleniecki, who missed his first game after playing 108 consecutive games for the Wolverines. Kaleniecki is ailing from multiple injuries, including a hand and rib problem.

Everybody's always saying the best way to improve your Spanish in Madrid is to do an intercambio, or language exchange. Sometimes, things don't work out.
Feel like your Spanish is stagnating? You need to practise. Intercambios can be a great way to improve your level while making friends and helping others practise their English. However let's be honest, some of them can be hard work! Fortunately, Verbling can help you practise your español without all that awkwardness.

- I am interested in the history of corporate growth in the twentieth century and its effects on our global environment. Citizen Coke, my current book project, focuses on the birth of what I call Coca-Cola capitalism, a system for making money through outsourcing and franchising that first developed in the Gilded Age. I examine how this system for making money reshaped ecologies all around the globe.

Often cited as the main reason that naïve C/C++ code cannot match FORTRAN performance, pointer aliasing is an important topic to understand when considering optimizations for your C/C++ code. In this tip I will describe what pointer aliasing is and a simple way to alter your code so that it does not harm your application performance.
What is pointer aliasing?
Two pointers alias if the memory to which they point overlaps. When a compiler can't determine whether pointers alias, it has to assume that they do. The following simple function shows why this is potentially harmful to performance:
void example1(float *a, float *b, float *c, int i) { a[i] = a[i] + c[i]; b[i] = b[i] + c[i]; }
At first glance it might seem that this function needs to perform three load operations from memory: one for
a[i], one for
b[i] and one for
c[i]. This is incorrect because it assumes that
c[i] can be reused once it is loaded. Consider the case where
a and
c point to the same address. In this case the first line modifies the value
c[i] when writing to
a[i]. Therefore the compiler must generate code to reload
c[i] on the second line, in case it has been modified.
Because the compiler must conservatively assume the pointers alias, it will compile the above code inefficiently, even if the programmer knows that the pointers never alias.
What can I do about aliasing?
Fortunately almost all C/C++ compilers offer a way for the programmer to give the compiler information about pointer aliasing. Continue reading

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Nearly 36 million adults in the US have some degree of hearing loss. Hearing aids can help improve hearing and speech especially in persons with sensorineural hearing loss (hearing loss in the inner ear due to damaged hair cells or a damaged hearing nerve). Sensorineural hearing loss can be caused by noise, injury, infection, aging, certain medications, birth defects, tumors, problems with blood circulation or high blood pressure, and stroke.
Hearing aids are electronic or battery-operated devices that can amplify and change sound. A microphone receives the sound and converts it into sound waves. The sound waves are then converted into electrical signals.
The type of hearing aid recommended for the individual depends on the person's home and work activities, his/her physical limitations and medical condition, and personal preference. There are many different types of hearing aids on the market, with companies continuously inventing newer, improved hearing aids every day. However, there are four basic types of hearing aids available today. Consult your physician for additional information on each of the following types:
Anyone who has hearing loss that may be improved with hearing aids can benefit from these devices. The type of hearing aid recommended may depend on several factors, including, but not limited to:
Once the hearing aids have been fitted for the ears, the individual should begin to gradually wear the hearing aid. Because hearing aids do not restore normal hearing, it may take time to get used to the different sounds transmitted by the device. The American Academy of Otolaryngology recommends the following when beginning to wear hearing aids:
Hearing aids need to be kept dry. Methods for cleaning hearing aids vary depending on the style and shape. Other tips for taking care of hearing aids include:
A medical examination is required before purchasing a hearing aid. Hearing aids can be purchased from an otolaryngologist (a physician who specializes in disorders of the ear, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck), an audiologist (a specialist who can evaluate and manage hearing and balance problems), or an independent company. Styles and prices vary widely. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders recommends asking the following questions when buying hearing aids:
Hearing aids typically need to be replaced after about five years. New programmable and digital hearing aids which can be adjusted as the level of hearing changes may reduce the need for replacement.

Brad Ring, Midfielder for the Earthquakes, said, "The clinics are a good way for the Earthquakes to reach out to communities and get our name out there and at the same time grow interest in soccer in the Bay Area. The Red Star players were great kids; they listened real well. It was good seeing the parents out there too supporting their kids' interest in soccer. It was a great clinic. Those are the ones that as a player are enjoyable to do."
According to Adriano Allain, Red Star's Technical Director, "At Red Star, we talk about our motto being 'soccer for life'. Through soccer, the kids learn life lessons such as working as a team, facing and overcoming adversity and setting and achieving goals. Our goal is to give our players the opportunity to play soccer in a supportive and rewarding environment that emphasizes fun, a love of the game and skill development at a level that fits his or her ability and desire. The San Jose Earthquakes clinic was a perfect forum for that."
Allain added, "It was great to support our local professional soccer team. The kids got to see their idols up close. They were in awe. Especially just a few days later, when we had a club outing to the Earthquakes' 3 0 win over the Columbus Crew and the kids got to see the players they'd met in action 400 Red Star players and their families attended the game."
Allison Aldrich, whose son, Jackson, attended the Earthquakes clinic and game related, "The kids really fed off of the passion of the Earthquakes players. Jackson's Red Star coaches are equally enthusiastic through them, he's developed a love of the game while learning technical skills, team work, and sportsmanship."
The club's philosophy takes a long term view. According to Allain, "For a player to reach their full potential requires dedication, hard work, and self-belief. To reach the elite level of these Earthquakes players it takes a long-term commitment to practice and training. This is often referred to as the ten year or 10,000 hour rule."
Allain described Red Star's approach as "player centered, meaning we focus on what is in the best interest of the kids. Every kid is unique and different and we need to adjust our coaching methods accordingly. We are also coach driven. All soccer and technical decisions are made by our professional staff and coaches. They have expertise in child development, technical skills development and are supported by the latest sports science and of course our Red Star parents."
Regarding Red Star's focus on development, Juan Cordon, a parent, said "Red Star has given my son an appreciation for the game as well as building his confidence in his soccer abilities. He now knows that if he plays hard and practices his game will get better. It's gotten the entire family excited about soccer. The enthusiasm of the coaches is contagious and fun to watch."
Founded in Fall, 2009 with two teams and summer camps, Red Star has grown to 16 competitive teams for boys and girls ages 7 to 12. According to its website, Red Star is focused on youth player development and is a non-profit educational organization. The soccer club competes in the Nor Cal Premier League and US Club Soccer sanctioned tournaments.
Red Star also offers a pre-competitive program for boys and girls ages 5 10 which emphasizes an introduction to "the beautiful game" and proper execution of basic techniques such as dribbling, passing, receiving and shooting in a fun yet challenging environment. This spring also marked the debut of "mini stars", which is designed to help boys and girls ages 3 5 take their "first steps in soccer".
Red Star Soccer Academy's Fall 2011 Soccer Tryouts for their competitive teams are June 6th - June 12th. During tryouts, Red Star will collect used soccer balls and other soccer gear to donate to the East Palo Alto Charter School. As Allain said, "We're happy that our Red Star families will be 'passing back' in this way and looking forward to another fantastic year. We encourage all interested players and their families to come to our try outs and see the difference in our approach."

A primer on credit
By Andre
Mayer Bankrate.com
The concept of credit has different connotations for
different people. For some, it's a gateway to money they don't have.
For others, it's an invitation to debt.
Credit can help you achieve material or financial
goals; unless you're a millionaire rock star who can drop half a
million in cash, a mortgage is an unavoidable course in realizing
your dream of owning a house. Credit can be handy, and it can be
costly. It all depends on how responsibly you use it.
Credit is, first and foremost, a convenience. Credit
cards like Visa and MasterCard allow you to make purchases without
exchanging physical currency, which enables you to buy stereos and
vacations by phone or over the Internet.
Plastic also allays the fear of walking around with
a big sheaf of cash in your pocket, which will prove costly in the
case of a mugging. You can report the theft of a credit card; with
physical cash, when it's gone, it's gone.
What exactly is a line of credit?
A line of credit is a fixed amount of money (the
actual figure is based on your income and assets) a lender extends
to you to fund a large purchase or act as a fail-safe for an unforeseen
emergency. The ability to access that sum comes at a cost, however,
namely interest. Interest on a credit card generally ranges between
15 and 22 percent; the rate on a personal line of credit is often
between 5 and 8 percent.
Generally, you repay your debts in manageable monthly
installments. The amount you pay back beyond the original loan depends
on the interest rate and amortization. You can choose to keep your
monthly payments low and extend them over a longer term. In the
end, however, it will significantly raise the cost of your purchase.
For many people, credit is simply a means of accessing
money they can't readily muster. While that's true, strictly speaking,
your credit also speaks to your personal integrity. Having a credit
card, for example, is a sign of your trustworthiness -- just try
renting a car, or even a movie, without one.
Building a credit history
Once you receive your first credit card or get
approved for your first loan, you begin to amass a credit history,
which is a physical file that is tracked by your lending institution,
as well as credit-reporting agencies, also known as credit bureaus,
such as Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada.
Your credit history is a tally of all of the times
you've borrowed money or carried a balance on your credit card.
Your credit rating is an analysis of that history. The rating system
ranges from 1 to 9 -- 1 signifies a history of always paying your
bills on time, while 9 indicates bankruptcy or the intervention
of a collection agency. (A rating of 2 means debts are 30 days past
the due date, 3 means debts are 60 days past due, etc. A rating
of 7 indicates that payments have been made through a consolidation
order or an arrangement through a third party, and 8 signals repossession.)
Being approved for a loan has become a more expedient
process in recent years thanks to credit scoring. By feeding your
borrowing history through an algorithmic model, banks and other
lending institutions can calculate the likelihood that you'll repay
your debt in a timely manner.
How credit scores are determined
While outlets like Equifax and U.S. firm Fair
Isaac Corp. have standardized software, most banks and lending institutions
also use their own credit-scoring models, which take into account
individual data such as a borrower's age, employment history, place
of residence and the number of assets held with that institution.
Maintaining a good credit rating is vital because
it can help you obtain better loans in the future. When purchasing
a home, for example, a good rating demonstrates that historically,
you've managed your credit wisely and are a responsible consumer.
If you have a bad credit rating, you'll likely have
to resort to secondary lenders like finance and mortgage companies,
who are generally less charitable with their lending terms.
"What we typically see, for example, is that
the credit cards with the most favourable interest rates are targeted
at the least-risky consumers," says Rick Cleary, president
of Equifax Canada. "If your credit history is not as good,
there are probably still institutions that want to deal with you,
but at a higher interest rate."
There is such a thing as "good credit"
and "bad credit"
While some people view all debt as negative,
there is a distinction between good and bad credit. "If you're
carrying a mortgage, that's good credit, because you have an asset
[i.e. a home] to back that mortgage up," says Laurie Campbell,
program manager at Credit Counselling Service of Toronto.
"Eventually, it's going to be an asset that you
hold, and it does go up in value. Bad credit would be paying large
interest on a credit card because you can't pay it off and you're
only paying the minimum payments, so it's an unsecured debt."
The easiest way to maintain a good credit rating is
self-evident: Pay your bills on time. If you are unable to meet
a payment, contact your creditor and explain your situation. Don't
sign a credit contract until you've read it and understood it completely.
Be aware of the implications of co-signing a loan
for a friend or family member; you are responsible if that person
doesn't pay on time. (Many kind-hearted people have poor credit
ratings as a result.)
Try to pay off debt quickly -- avoid low payments
that are drawn out. "If you're only paying the minimum, that
doesn't necessarily look that great [on your credit history] either,"
says Campbell.
Another tip: Limit the amount of debt that you have,
and don't strive for more money than you need. Simply applying for
a loan shows up as a statistic on your credit history. While there's
something to be said for persistence, people who doggedly approach
lender after lender with the belief that someone's bound to give
them more money are not helping their own cause.
"[People] shouldn't apply for more credit than
they need because another piece of information that's in the credit
report is inquiries from other credit grantors," says Cleary.
"If you were a lender and you were making a decision about
somebody and you saw that in the last 30 days, they applied for
eight credit cards, you might be concerned that there's fraud, or
that this person is a little desperate."

Normally I save the final product picture for the end of my post….I just can't do it this time!
BAM….Emeril style
You know ya want to make that! It's simple, it's delicious….it's a lot of things- except healthy maybe (P.S. it's the holiday season)
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree (unseasoned)
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
3 cups white sugar
3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
8 oz. soft cream cheese
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
splash of vanilla or maple extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray loaf pans with nonstick spray. This recipe will make 2 xtra large loaves or 3 regular size loaf pans (7×3).
Begin by placing all the filling ingredients into a mixing bowl and whipping on high-speed until light and fluffy, then set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, eggs, oil, water, and sugar. Mix to combine thoroughly.
In a separate large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pie spice.
Dump the dry ingredients into the bowl with the pumpkin and whisk together, removing all clumps.
Next, pour a bottom layer of the mixture into your prepared pans, then add the cream cheese filling in a large strip down the middle.
Top with your remaining pumpkin batter and spread to cover the top evenly.
At this point, I take a toothpick and make a swirl pattern through the batter, running the toothpick from side to side, then top to bottom.
Place the pans in the oven and bake for 60-75 minutes depending on the size of your pans. Mine normally go around 70 minutes, just make sure the top of the bread is set!
Remove from oven and place pans on cooling racks. When they have cooled slightly, about 20 minutes, remove from pan and allow to cool completely before slicing.
Hope you enjoy!
Signing Off,
Modern Mrs. Cleaver

Upon server boot Upstart runs but does not trigger the transition to the normal runlevel, and I would like to know how to fix it. For example syslog will have been started, time set and so on, but Apache, Cyrus IMAP, Postfix and other services are not started.
If I execute
telinit 2 all the remaining init scripts are run as normal. The server is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS which was just upgraded from 10.04 LTS and was 8.04 LTS a while before that. I cannot confirm that this is a consequence of the upgrade as I had noticed problems with services on reboot before, past month or two, but didn't pin it on Upstart. I'm pretty good with the rest of the system but don't know much about Upstart, so I'm not sure what to include for extra information but I'll provide anything necessary.

Downton Abbey: Find Out Their Energy Types
Calling all Downton Abbey fans!
We've received your requests to profile the main characters in the popular PBS television show Downton Abbey, which just entered Season 3 here in the U.S.
I'll admit that I've only watched one episode of the show, but my daughter Anne is a huge fan, like many of you who wrote to us asking to know their Types.
Watch the video to find out the Energy Types of these six main characters on Downton Abbey. (You can also take a guess at which Energy Type is the most represented on the show). [Read more…]
Ask Carol! Can an accomplished actor successfully play a role that is not true to their Type?
Why are some movies more successful and more entertaining than other movies? Is it just the story? Or could it be the appropriate casting of the actors in the roles that match their Energy Type? Do we like these movies more because they feels more "natural" to have an actor playing a role that matches their true Energy Type? Could the movies where actors are playing roles contrary to their Type feel so unnatural to us that we cannot enjoy them? What do you think? Watch and leave a comment.

text: BEFORE THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION BOARD OF THE STATE OF OREGON HEARINGS DIVISION Oregon Occupational Safety & Health Division ) Docket No: SH92301 Plaintiff, ) vs. ) Citation No. P680806792 BROWN'S SHEETMETAL INC ) Defendant ) OPINION AND ORDER A hearing was held on March 22, 1993 in Portland, Oregon. Plaintiff was represented by Eric Stoop, authorized law student. Marc A. Brown appeared for defendant. ISSUE Defendant challenges items 1-1 and 2-2 of Citation No. P680806792 issued on May 28, 1992. Defendant does not contest the penalty calculation. FINDINGS OF FACT On May 4, 1992 Marc A. Brown, president of Brown's Sheetmetal Inc., and two employees were working on the roof of a church being built in Lake Oswego. The roof was approximately 20 feet high. The roof itself had different levels with about 32 to 34 inches between them. See Exhibit 6. There was no ladder, stairway, ramp, runway, sloped embankment or personnel hoist between the different roof levels and the employees stepped or jumped up and down when going between them. Someone had installed a warning line system on the roof but in some areas it was down and in others it was less than 6 feet from the edge of the roof. The employees had a rope fall protection system with them with the rope tied around the air conditioning system as the anchor. See photos, Exhibit 62. Other trades worked on the roof before defendant and had left debris such as pieces of lumber, plastic and nails. Brown determined that the roof needed to be cleaned up before they could do their work. He also felt it was unsafe to do this work wearing the rope fall protection because the rope might catch on some of the debris. He directed the employees to unhook the rope protection. They then worked walking around on the roof, including near the edge, doing the cleanup work without any protection from fall hazards. OPINION AND CONCLUSION Citation 1-1 OAR 436-03-001, 29CFR 1926.1051(a) provides: "A stairway or ladder shall be provided at all personnel points of access where there is a break in elevation of 19 inches (48 cm) or more, and no ramp, runway, sloped embankment, or personnel hoist is provided." There was a break in elevation between sections of the roof of more than 19 inches and defendant's employees moved between these areas while performing their duties. No stairway or ladder was provided. This work was done in violation of OAR 436-03-001, 29CFR 1926.1051(a). Citation 2-2 OAR 437-03-040(1) provides: "All employees shall be protected from fall hazards when working on unguarded surfaces more than 10 feet above a lower level or at any height above dangerous equipment, except when connecting steel beams as stipulated in OAR 437-03-040(2)." Brown determined that it was unsafe to do the cleanup work wearing the rope fall protection. The safety compliance officer does not disagree. Brown objects to the citation, in part, because other companies made the mess and it was necessary for him to clean it up, yet neither other subcontractors nor the general contractor were cited. ORS 654.010 requires that: "Every employer shall furnish employment and a place of employment which are safe and healthful for employees therein, and shall furnish and use such devices and safeguards, and shall adopt and use such practices, means, methods, operations and processes as are reasonably necessary to render such employment and place of employment safe and healthful, and shall do every other thing reasonably necessary to protect the life, safety and health of such employees." The work that took place on the roof doing the cleaning up involved employees walking around on the roof, including close to the edge, without fall protection. This was in violation of the cited rule. Notwithstanding that defendant was faced with cleaning up someone else's mess, it has not shown that compliance with the rule would have created a greater hazard to employees or that it would have been impossible to comply with the rule. The evidence is that alternate fall protection devices could have been utilized. The safety provision required fall protection for the work being done. The employees worked without such protection. Citation 22 is affirmed. Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division v. RediRooter, 112 Or App 40 (1992). ORDER IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Citation P680806792 is affirmed in its entirety. NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES: You are entitled to judicial review of this Order. Proceedings for review are to be instituted by filing a petition to the State Court Administrator, Record Section, 1163 State Street, Salem, Oregon 97310, within 60 days following the date this Order is entered and served as shown hereon. The procedure for such judicial review is prescribed by ORS 183.480 and ORS 183.482. Entered at Portland, Oregon on April 8, 1993 WORKERS COMPENSATION BOARD ALBERT L. MENASHE, Referee
