To address evidence-based effective communication skills in the formal academic half day curriculum of our core internal medicine residency program, we designed and delivered an interactive session using excerpts taken from medically-themed television shows.
We selected two excerpts from the television show House, and one from Gray's Anatomy and featured them in conjunction with a brief didactic presentation of the Kalamazoo consensus statement on doctor-patient communication. To assess the efficacy of this approach a set of standardized questions were given to our residents once at the beginning and once at the completion of the session.
Our residents indicated that their understanding of an evidence-based model of effective communication such as the Kalamazoo model, and their comfort levels in applying such model in clinical practice increased significantly. Furthermore, residents' understanding levels of the seven essential competencies listed in the Kalamazoo model also improved significantly. Finally, the residents reported that their comfort levels in three challenging clinical scenarios presented to them improved significantly.
We used popular television shows to teach residents in our core internal medicine residency program about effective communication skills with a focus on the Kalamazoo's model. The results of the subjective assessment of this approach indicated that it was successful in accomplishing our objectives.
Effective communication skills are integral to patient care as they enhance patient satisfaction, adherence to treatment and health outcomes [1]. It is therefore inherent that teaching communication skills is an important component in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. In fact, accreditation bodies such as the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in the United States [2] and the CanMEDS framework mandated by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons (RCPSC) in Canada [3] have declared communication as one of the core competencies and roles of physicians. Several guidelines [4-6], models [7,8], and consensus statements [9-11] have been developed to guide medical educators, learners and physicians in developing sound communication skills. However, challenges still remain in addressing patient-physician communication in medical education. These include inadequate attention and time given to educating undergraduate and postgraduate learners on communication skills, difficulties in implementing standardized programs of communication skills in formal medical curricula, as well as lack of objective evaluation of the efficacy of such programs [12-16]. These challenges, in turn, have resulted in deficiencies in patient-physician communication in medical practice. Discussing end-of-life issues, delivering bad news, attending to psychosocial aspects of patients, and disclosing errors or adverse events are some examples of areas where pitfalls in physician communication have been documented [17-19].
Recognizing many of those issues, in 1999 representatives from major medical educational and professional organizations gathered in a conference in Kalamazoo, Michigan, with the objective of outlining a set of universal guidelines by which effective communication skills can be taught, evaluated, and utilized in medical education and practice [9]. By the end, the collaboration of the experts from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines in medical education and practice produced a comprehensive and evidence-based model which outlines seven essential elements in doctor-patient communication, and is now widely used in medical education. The seven elements listed in the model, in brief, are: building a relationship, opening the discussion, gathering information, understanding the patient's perspective, sharing information, reaching agreement on problems and plans, and finally, providing closure [9].
So far, no formal structured teaching methods of the Kalamazoo model exist in the literature. We intended to reinforce the importance of effective communication with particular attention to the Kalamazoo model by means of cinemeducation. This innovative approach was first reported in 1994 and involves the use of clips from popular films and television shows in education [20]. Since then, this approach has been successfully used in different areas of medical education including psychiatry [21-23], family medicine [24], internal medicine residency programs [25] as well as in undergraduate medical [26,27] and nursing [28] education.
Our objective was to assess the efficacy of cinemeducation (television shows in our case) for teaching communication skills using the Kalamazoo model, which has not been included in previous studies. The primary endpoint was the self-rated understanding of the evidence-based Kalamazoo model on communication. The secondary endpoint was the self-rated comfort levels of residents in three challenging clinical scenarios. These were: addressing end-of life issues with terminally ill patients, attending to psychosocial aspects of illness, and disclosing errors and adverse events.
The core internal medicine residency training program at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is a 3-year program with 115 residents. These residents had not received formal instruction on the Kalamazoo model of communication. In addition to clinical rotations, formal curriculum delivery is done through academic half days (AHD) which are held weekly for four hours and aimed to cover the topics in various medical specialties as well as the non-medical expert competencies such as communication, collaboration, bioethics, evidence-based medicine, and quality improvement, etc. On average, about 70 residents attend any AHD whereas the remainder is excused due to post-call days, out of town rotations, vacations, etc. We received approval from the UBC residency training committee to develop and implement the communication curriculum/testing and publish our experience.
We organized a one-hour interactive session on communication during AHD teaching time that targeted residents in all three post-graduate years (PGY). Prior to initiating the AHD session, a baseline assessment (pre test) was completed by the residents, which contained questions on the various aspects of communication skills based on the essential elements in the Kalamazoo consensus statement on communication. Then a brief didactic presentation was given on effective communication competencies. Subsequently, we featured two scenarios excerpted from the first season of the television show House, and one from the first season of Gray's Anatomy. The episodes were selected by one of the chief medical residents who screen played the entire first season of both shows. The nature of the episodes were carefully chosen to depict important and sensitive situations with respect to doctor-patient communication. These excerpts represented 3 clinical scenarios that are articulated in the core competencies of effective communication as documented by the educational accreditation body, namely, addressing end-of life issues, attending to psychosocial aspects of illness, and disclosing medical errors. Each feature presentation was followed by 7 questions that mirrored the seven elements in the Kalamazoo's model (see Appendix). This was followed by an interactive reflection period where residents were encouraged to input their ideas on the excerpts verbally and discuss what they would have done differently in each of the featured scenarios. Finally a post-test was administered.
The standardized questions were designed by the AHD director and peer-reviewed by faculty members and senior residents to establish face and content validity. The questions were specifically devised to address the end-points we previously defined (see Appendix).
The residents' responses throughout the academic session (with the exception of the reflection segment) were collected via Personal Response System (PRS) transmitters [29]. We explained to the residents that, by responding through the PRS, they have granted their verbal consent to submit their data for group analysis and reporting. All questions and potential responses were programmed into a central notebook computer prior to the session. Each resident was handed a PRS transmitter. A 10-seocnd interval per question was included for residents to key in their responses. All responses were based on a five-point Likert scale (1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, 4 = very good, 5 = excellent).
The collected data was then statistically analyzed by comparing the median values of all Likert responses (score range 0–5) before and after the AHD session using Wilcoxon paired signed ranked tests. Paired proportions were compared using McNemar's tests. These non-parametric tests were chosen because our data did not follow the normal distribution. All analyses were performed using SAS statistical software, version 9.1 (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC).
A total of 64 residents attended the communication session, and 43 (67%) responded using the PRS transmitters (21 PGY-1, 15 PGY-2, 7 PGY-3).
The residents who responded demonstrated significant improvements in their self-rated understanding of effective communication (Figure (Figure1).1). At baseline (pre test), only 23% of respondents indicated that they had a good, very good or excellent understanding of an evidence-based communication model such as the Kalamazoo, whereas after the session, this proportion improved to 93% in the post test (P < 0.0001). Similarly, the residents' self-reported comfort in applying an evidence-based communication model to actual clinical encounters improved substantially (Figure (Figure2),2), from 23% who indicated good, very good or excellent level in the pre test to 88% post test (P < 0.0001).
The AHD session also had positive effects in reinforcing to our residents the seven individual communication competencies listed in the Kalamazoo model. In fact, the residents' self-rated understanding of all the seven skills improved after the session, with statistical improvement in 6 out of 7 competencies in the Kalamazoo (Table (Table1).1). Resident understanding improved from a median of 3 (good) to 4 (very good) in every competency.
Furthermore, the comfort levels of our residents in all three challenging clinical scenarios also increased significantly after the AHD session (Table (Table2).2). Specifically, comfort levels in addressing end-of-life issues and disclosure of adverse events/errors increased from a median of 2 (fair) to 3 (good).
Finally resident satisfaction at the completion of the session was encouraging as 80% indicated that they would like to participate in this form of communication teaching in the future.
We developed and implemented a focused teaching session on evidence-based and effective communication skills as part of the formal academic half day curriculum using clips from popular television shows. This was done in conjunction with a brief discussion of the Kalamazoo consensus statement. We observed significant improvements in the residents' understanding of the essential elements of effective communication and their comfort levels in selected clinical scenarios that were deemed challenging.
Cinemeducation is an effective tool that can enhance teaching as it provides a dynamic and humanistic depiction of clinical situations to audiences, captures their attention, and engages them in the emotional experience [20]. This tool has become increasingly popular in medical education with the majority of its use in teaching about psychosocial aspects of illnesses and specific symptom presentations as well as other areas such as professionalism and therapeutic managements. Doctor-patient communication in medicine is also a key area that involves a great deal of art, emotion, and humanistic facets. While others have addressed interview skills and communication through cinemeducation in more specific clinical contexts [25,26,30,31] our session focused on generic communication competencies. The selected clips well complemented the didactic portion of the seminar by depicting clinical scenarios where the communication skills of doctors and residents were at play. In other words, each scenario featured an encounter where patient-physician communication was deficient in one or more competencies of the Kalamazoo model. This made it possible to realize the importance of effective communication, and enabled the residents to visualize realistic situations where the Kalamazoo model's competencies that were introduced in the preceding section could be applied. This novel approach proved to be a success as it provided for both an effective and an enjoyable experience, and helped in accomplishing our objectives of reinforcing the understanding and application of an evidence-based model of sound communication skills, according to the residents' feedback.
We recognize our educational intervention was brief (a one-hour session including presentation of the Kalamazoo model and some video excerpts). The long term impact of our intervention is unclear. Future studies are needed to compare cinemeducation with other educational approaches (such as role-playing and/or standardized patient encounters) in improving communication skills.
While this project had promising results, there are some limitations in the study that should be noted. This study is not a randomized controlled trial, lacked a control group, and is based on subjective assessments of respondents. Future work should consider more objective assessments. Also, since our AHD session involved a combination of introducing the Kalamazoo model didactically and cinemeducation, it is difficult for us to definitively attribute impact to the individual components of the AHD session that might have contributed to the pre-post differences observed. Furthermore, the study was done in one site with a relatively small sample size, and the response rates were less than ideal. In fact, the post test data was collected immediately after the intervention, making the observed gains potentially more optimistic. There could also be potential baseline differences between responders and no responders. While our residents indicated that this approach was useful in reinforcing effective communication skills, the study assessment was only done in an educational setting, and its efficacy with regards to real clinical situations remains unknown. The expansion of the study in the future to include more residents from upcoming years, and possibly the involvement of other programs or sites could help improve the generalizability of our findings. In addition, a desirable future step would be to take our study further into broader and more practical contexts such as clinical rotations in the internal medicine curriculum as well as clinical practices of the program graduates. In other words, while the results of our subjective assessment by the residents was encouraging, developing ways to assess the efficacy of our approach in real clinical encounters objectively, for instance by OSCE-style assessments, would further validate our findings. Finally, it might be interesting to collect qualitative data during the open-ended reflection period whereby residents interactively discussed the communication scenarios.
To address effective communication skills and present the Kalamazoo's evidence-based model of doctor-patient communication in our academic half day curriculum, we designed a seminar which utilized three excerpts from the popular television shows House and Gray's Anatomy. The comparison of the survey results taken from the residents before and after the session showed that their understanding in the Kalamazoo model improved significantly, as did their comfort in all three selected challenging clinical scenarios.

My wife & I stayed at Hotel V Nesplein for a few days over the Easter break and we had a great time. On our first night, we received a warm welcome and were still able to order diner despite our late arrival. We've enjoyed a nice meal at the Lobby the very cool & trendy restaurant from Hotel V.
All the way through our stay the staff has been very welcoming and helpful from advice on Amsterdam and places to go, to making amazing restaurant reservations. We would like to say a special thanks to Ard who arranged for us to go for diner at two very special places Bridges & Rijsel when everywhere was fully booked (including those 2, we tried a few days earlier to book Bridges).
We really liked our room too which was very spacious and with a cool design very much Soho style. We've read some of the reviews saying the rooms are 'cold' and lacking storage, but the one we got was fine for the 2 of us for the long weekend. The bathroom was very spacious too and we liked the Italian shower. In there storage space is indeed minimal but sufficient even with all the toiletries women usually travel with.
The Lobby is a great place for Brunch & Diner (we were not at the Hotel during the day so couldn't experience lunch) and particularly great for drinks in their very confy sofas in the library corner. Compliments to the team behind the bar who definitely knows how to mix great Whisky Sour.
I could go on, but I think you got the just of it, we really had a great time and would definitly come back to the Hotel V if we were to visit Amsterdam again.

Narberth Ambulance to Offer EMS Summer Camp for Kids
Only Thirty Slots Available for June 21-24 Camp Program
The camp is designed to teach young participants the ins and outs of firefighting, police work, first aid and rescue services.
Press Release: Ardmore, PA…Fingerprinting, a visit from a medical helicopter and a chance to meet an arson-detecting dog – this is definitely not an ordinary summer camp for kids. Parents looking for a unique learning opportunity for their children are encouraged to check out the Narberth Ambulance Emergency Medical Services Camp, being held for the first time this summer. The camp is designed to teach young participants the ins and outs of firefighting, police work, first aid and rescue services.
The all-day camp will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 21-24 at Narberth Ambulance (101 Sibley Ave. in Ardmore) and is designed for children ages 10 to 14. The $150 registration fee covers the cost of camp, a T-shirt and a water bottle.
"Kids will be engaged in all types of hands-on activities," said Marie Eckman, Narberth's Lieutenant of Operations. "They'll have the opportunity to visit the 911 Center to see how it works, and go into a smoke trailer and learn how to crawl in and get back out safely."
Other exciting events during the four-day camp include:
- A visit from a medical helicopter and its on-flight crew, who will explain when this form of emergency transportation is necessary;
- Fingerprinting, bike safety, stranger danger, first aid and CPR will be conducted by the local police department; and An arson dog, owned by a local fire chief, and a drug-sniffing police dog, will visit students as they learn about how the dogs are used.
Narberth Ambulance Chief Christopher Flanagan said the camp is not only a fun adventure for children, but also a way for Narberth Ambulance to engage with the local community. "We want to enrich our young people and to help them see what we do as a career or volunteer opportunity," he said. "We also want to connect with and educate the community so they know what we do every day."
Flanagan said he has seen other public safety camps and decided something similar would be a great idea for the communities served by Narberth Ambulance. "The most important thing is that the kids have fun, and we hope parents are better informed at the end of it," he said. "It also serves a purpose for our staff in that it shows them a different way to engage with the community in an educational way – by working with its youngest citizens."
A maximum of 30 children can be enrolled in the program, so early registration is recommended. For more information or to register, stop by the station, located at 101 Sibley Ave. in Ardmore, or email Marie Eckman at firstname.lastname@example.com. Application deadline is June 14.
Narberth Ambulance crew marks EMS week in communities
As part of a string of events the company was holding, crew members were scheduled to read to children at a couple of Lower Merion libraries and visit other locations throughout the week.
Tuesday morning, Albert Davey, deputy chief of Narberth Ambulance, and Josh Cohen, a crew chief with Narberth Ambulance, spent time reading books with children at Ludington Library in Bryn Mawr before showing about 50 kids and their caregivers the inside of an ambulance parked outside.
Davey read a Cat in the Hat book called "Inside Your Outside: All about the Human Body" and "Don't Dance in my Ambulance" before the group explored the ambulance in the parking lot.
"We are proud to be the sole 9-1-1 emergency medical services provider 'called to care" on the 95,000 residents we serve," Chief Christopher B. Flanagan said in a statement. "EMS Week is the perfect time for us to showcase what we do and to educate others on how they can support our mission."
Crews were also scheduled to be at the Ardmore Dunkin Donuts on Greenfield Avenue Wednesday at 9 a.m. and then at the Bala Library in Bala Cynwyd on the same day at 10:30 a.m. for another book reading.
Thursday they were planning on having crews at Ricklin's Hardware in Narberth Thursday at 5 p.m. Finally, on Saturday they were planning on being at the Ardmore Community Health Fair at Vernon Young Park on Ardmore Avenue from noon to 3 p.m.
Main Line Health's Pre-Hospital Services Department presented a check to Narberth Ambulance for the purchase of upgraded Wi-Fi modems used in the transmission of 12-lead EKGs from the field.
A number of years ago, MLH had purchased the original modems, but in February, Verizon discontinued 2G service on which these modems operated. MLH became aware that they needed to be upgraded and stepped in to help support this vital need in our shared community.

Media Release- Narberth Ambulance Volunteer Physicians Recognized as "2015 Top Doctors"
Ardmore, PA…Narberth Ambulance has known for years the value of its volunteer physician response program. Now, two of its physician team members – Drs. Ben Usatch and Joseph Bushra – are receiving some well-deserved regional recognition for their efforts by Main Line Today magazine.
Drs. Usatch and Bushra have been named among the area's finest physicians for 2015 by Main Line Today in the Emergency Medicine category. Each year, the publication compiles a list of the top doctors in their specialties. Candidates are selected based on votes from other licensed Pennsylvania doctors. Doctors are not permitted to vote for themselves.
"It is essential to have a team that not only evaluates our emergency medical services (EMS) protocols, but also works individually with paramedics and EMTs to make them better," said Narberth Ambulance Chief of Operations Chris Flanagan. "This award solidifies what we already know – we care about community and care about the providers' work on the street; hence, the training and support we get from these two doctors and the entire Narberth Ambulance physician response team.
Dr. Usatch has been involved in EMS for more than 35 years. He serves as Narberth Ambulance's Medical Director, and holds the position of Montgomery County Regional Medical Director. Dr. Bushra has been involved with EMS for more than 15 years and serves as the Deputy Medical Director for Narberth Ambulance. He also works as an attending physician and is the Director of the Lankenau Hospital Emergency Department. Both physicians work with Narberth Ambulance in a strictly volunteer capacity.
Flanagan said the doctors are responsible for training Narberth Ambulance's paramedics in advanced care and its EMTs in basic care. One of the keys to Narberth's clinical excellence is the emphasis on training. The members are regularly educated in cutting edge life support techniques and procedures. Charts are rigorously reviewed to assure the highest of standards for all care rendered. Providers are given timely feedback and educational initiatives are developed around the quality assurance process.
"Under their leadership, Narberth Ambulance has the first and only single-source EMS physicians unit," said Flanagan. "Not only do they volunteer, but they take turns with the six other volunteer doctors that take the truck and are on the streets working with us to save lives and to help our medics and EMTs improve."
Drs. Usatch and Bushra said they are pleased to be able to volunteer their expertise with Narberth Ambulance to help provide quality emergency medical services to area citizens.
"There are very few areas of greater satisfaction in my job as an Emergency Medical Physician than working with the talented professionals from this organization," said Dr. Usatch. "After 35 years, I remain in awe of the care rendered and the lives saved."
"It is an honor to work with the outstanding caregivers of Narberth Ambulance," added Dr. Bushra. "Our collaboration supports the excellent care delivered in the field, and enables a seamless transition to the hospital environment. The end result is the best possible care for the patient."

On This Day...
Hitler, dissatisfied by what he viewed as von Bocks tardiness since the beginning of the summer offensive, dismisses him from command of Army Group B, dissolves his command HQ and gives command of Army Group B to von Weichs. Hitler also issues Directive No.45 for Operation Brunswick, the capture of the Caucasus. Army Group A, once having destroyed the enemy in the Rostov area, was to secure the entire eastern coastline of the Black Sea, simultaneously capturing Maikop and Grozny and the advance to Baku. Army Group B would continue east to seize Stalingrad and the advance down the Volga to Astrakhan. This meant that the two would advance on diverging axes and a large gap would develop between them. This was aggravated by the return of Hoth's 4th Panzer Army to Army Group B. Marshal Timoshenko is removed from command of the Stalingrad Front and replaced by General Gordov.

I tried BF4 and lasted all of 45 minutes of online game play before I uninstalled in disgust.. Sorry Drake and Soonie but I just could not play that drivel...
World of Tanks and War Thunder have held my interest for some time but the gaming became stale and boring and the usual crowd of griefers and punks just ruin the game with running the mouths and being on Roads lawn...
So I find myself wondering what is new, what is going to be the next biggest thing... for me there are two possible bright spots coming and I backed them through kickstarter... they have online elements and multiplayer but they are both Space sims... games I would lock myself away and spend hours playing in my youth....
Elite Dangerous (coming this year hopefully) link
Star Citizen (2015 to 2016 if it ever gets made) link
So what games are coming that are exciting you?
ET Server Closing
The server will be closing in the next few days, and I wanted to thank everyone who stopped by the server. While I can't say that there wasn't some disappointment with the turnout, the fact that we did have Bucketeers show up was appreciated by the people that put this together.
It was great to see some old names and to play a game that we all enjoyed.
The server may be shutting down, but the community isn't dead, so please don't hesitate to post on the messageboard and to join the Chicken Bucket Steam Group to catch up with and see what games everyone else has been playing.

Posted on 08/01/2014 6:53:17 AM PDT by tioga
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of Word for the Day.
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Review Thread Three: Word For The Day, Tuesday 1/28/03: Obdurate
Rise and Shine....homework on the blackboard, apples on my desk.
concinnity - the opposite of libinsanity.
The con games and the sinning of the obbama admin creates a grim concinnittty.
Not too much consinnity found in DC these days, unless you are listening to Trey Gowdy!
I'm living on the air in Concinnity
Concinnity WKRP.
lots of consinnity, just little concinnity. A++
How's life? A++
Obama isn't concinnity, he's consinnity. A++
It's chock full of concinnity.
Good but busy.
How are you doing?
Welfare and honesty in liberal, democratic, inner-city, big-city, labor-union, government-worker-feeding Ohio government: Concinnity!
I'm gonna give you kudos for that.
Concinnity is famous for chili isn't it?
Rsvps due today and prob 45 outstanding at this point. Chuckles will be in the state stumping for Joanie Ernst but he's sending the missus to the wedding w/o him.
Who can remember before Obama united the country, the relative concinnity of it all.
And once those people are inevitably swept out of office, concinnity will return once again.
Concinnity, it's what convicts do at night....................
No It's famous for WKRP Radio.......................
Obamacare, with pure asininity
Has premiums rising up to infinity
If Barack has the smarts
Why do all the law's parts
Lack cohesion, congruity, and concinnity?
That deserves a standing O! I will get up for coffee now, but in my heart, it is for you
Thanks very much.
Fox just did a whole segment on the infectious diseases in the "welcome centers" at the border. Some doctor said it made no sense to be sending these children and criminals into our population before waiting to see if they are ill.
i was resenting that we were accepting the Ebola patient to Emory, until i saw they were Americans who were stricken while working for Samaritan's Purse. Yes, they need to be cared for here.
Oh yes, I agree with the ebola folks - my comment was directed toward the third world chicken pox, scabes, lice, etc kids coming up from the south. The report was about how many border agents have chicken pox
I've never had Skyline chili. Apparently they put it on spaghetti.
i realized what you meant, but it just reminded me of the ebola stuff and i was aggravated about them coming here, thinking it was a random African, not realizing it was an American.
Just the thought of those two things together - pasta and chili, gags me. I don't see the connection at all. But, white gravy on biscuits doesn't appeal to some and it is a staple down here.
Oh - got it. No, our infectious diseases are coming in via the south, not east
Merci bien.
OMG GW bush sent his response card in on time! They're not coming but look at them being on time when people we actually know can't be bothered! Xsteen wanted to invite them hoping they will send a card or something, Bethany invited while he was prez and he sent a nice certificate. Xsteen loves W and hopes for same.
Holy Lord God Almighty - how very cool!! I must have read that three times to make sure i wasn't completely wrong about what i was seeing!!
I'm sure a staffer filled it out but still cool!
That is cool.
You can tell they were raised right.
wow - I have their Christmas photo (or fundraising photo, but still) for about 5 years in a row - love them! Sending them an invitation is super cool!
Sorry dude...Nope.
I appreciate their good works, but to me...that falls into the mountain climber category.
You knew the risks going in.
It's odd, isn't it...some home schooling mother want's to not follow an aggressive state mandated vaccination rate..particularly over MMR, (oh, and recent Mumps outbreaks..just never you mind...) and the medical community screams "herd protection rate" and we get the Eli Lilly protection act, (thanks Dr.Frist)but hey...a couple med professionals get sick, and lets import the ebola virus....
Not havin any.
Allegedly GWB has been wearing a jacket to dinner, since age 6.
Manners maketh Man......olde English quote...
Yep. guy I work with is from there, and ...LMAO...he said that very thing over lunch a few weeks back....
(I was having chili from Krogers hot bar...hence the conversation)
There is one in Westerville, I am def going to check that out..
(They advertise as being famous for their.....three ways... ;-) )
And class will out, every time.
How the heck did you even have an address for him?
He's like Santa. Just write GWB, Dallas, Texas, and they deliver it to him.
I never even saw the envelope Xsteen did all of the invitations. And remember she went to school in Dallas and knew exactly where he lived, prob not the house # but she knew the street. She took xsbaby and I over there when we were visiting once. She and her best friend knew where several Caps lived too (didn't invite any!)
If someone went to save the "selfish mountain climber" and got hurt, would we also say they were selfish and not help them?
I apologize for missing class yesterday, but after work I had to go find a keyboard and do a couple of other errands...
Thanks for the info on the keyboard on the accessories menu-now I know where it is if I need it...
Of course they are. That is hardly the point.
And the Dr. That wrote that article, is an @$$hole. Sorry. Calling people un-american over fairly justified concerns, is both arrogant, and foolish beyond belief.
There is also the issue of buo-terrorism. Is it likely...no. Possible...only about as much as 19 guys with box cutters taking down three of the most prominent buildings on the planet, near simultaneously.
It's fairly quite surprising on consideration that these nuts that strap bombs to themselves or drive them into buildings have not yet thought to just go get sick, and dwell around five or six major airports...
It took 19 on 9/11.
A category A bioterrorism agent. Yes, lets bring it to the US, not treat in place, and going one step further, lets treat it in a civilian area...
Given the lethal nature of Ebola, and since no approved vaccine or treatment is available, it is classified as a biosafety level 4 agent, as well as a Category A bioterrorism agent by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It has the potential to be weaponized for use in biological warfare.[91] The BBC reports in a study that frequent outbreaks of Ebola may have resulted in the deaths of 5,000 gorillas.[92]

Excellent 4.4 /5 from 130 reviews
This place need some good cleaning service. The bed was not comfortable at all. The air conditioner - noisy and not efficient. The stuff was friendly and helpful. Good location.
The air did not work. The maintenance guy came up but it wasn't repaired. I had to leave at one o clock in the morning because it was too hot in the room. I should have gotten a refund or another room offered for a later time.
We really enjoyed staying there, but there were barking dogs in 2 rooms which bothered us several times. I don't like hearing barking dogs in a nice hotel!
The room was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was very good with ,amy options.
Great stay overall, but little out of the way from Downtown. Cardis at the front desk was great and took care of us very well!
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

If they're never fully convincing as photo-realistic figures, they're certainly as much good gory fun to watch as any old-school monster kids had to stick with dreary first acts to see.
This decision to avoid treating the dinosaurs as surrogate people for easy identification is both the film's boldest move and the source of much of its problems.

Horses are magnificent creatures and it is said that they are very loyal if you are good to them and treat them fairly. Horse riding has always been a fascinating sport for many people and they also want to learn horse riding. However, many people are not able to do so for various reasons. Sometimes they are afraid of the horses because they are quite large animals and people are scared that they may get injured. Sometimes it happens that the facilities to learn horse riding are not easily available and therefore people cannot learn this sport.
However if you are very much interested in learning horse riding and have an access to some horses then you can learn to ride horses in no time. However, you have to remember that like other sports, there are some rules in horse riding too and you have to be extra careful because an animal is involved in this sport.
How to learn horse riding?
- Find out if there is a horse riding academy or a horse ranch which offers the horse riding lessons near your area.
- If there is one near you, then you have to purchase the necessary horse riding gear and equipment so that you are comfortable while riding.
- Take lessons from an expert teacher but ensure that you are not going too fast because learning slowly and developing a rapport with the horses is very important when you are a beginner.
- Horse riding does not mean that you will learn to ride a horse and that's it. You also have to learn how to groom a horse as it is the responsibility of the rider.
- It is necessary that when you start as a beginner, you should practice horse riding in open areas so that there are fewer chances of getting any distractions or obstacles.
Finding the perfect horse riding school is also important because there should be no compromises when a large animal like a horse is also involved when you are learning. You have to take care while choosing a horse riding school. The following points can help you in this task.
How to choose the horse riding school which is good at its job?
- It is important that the school has a large number of horses so that you will be able to take advanced lessons in horse riding. Ensure that the horses used for giving you riding lessons are experiences and are friendly and co-operative.
- There as a safe riding area and all the horse riding equipment is in perfect shape. This is very important for the sake of your and the horse's safety.
- The instructor who will teach you how to ride a horse must be qualified and expert in this field. They should be friendly and have a lot of patience so that you can learn horse riding without panicking or getting stressed.
- The school should have an emergency response system so that you can get the required assistance in case there is an accident.

went to my parents to carve a pumpkin for my nephews...it turned out awesome. my oldest nephew can say a few words that make sense now, he knew what the pumkin was. also got to check out the kayak i purchased...it's missing the oars/paddles....i don't know if it was supposed to come with them. guess not, just checked the website and nope...so when i get around to taking that out gotta go buy some paddles...not sure the price on them, once my uc comes in i'll have to do some shopping around.
also since hunting season starts for me in a few weeks i grabbed both of my rifles, going to get them nice and cleaned up, pretty sure they're still zero'd since i haven't fired them in quite a while. will have to go to the range with my buddy someday soon.
finished watching the final season of Spartacus. cried. such a good series.
stepped on the scale this morning and i'm down to 209, at least for this morning...still hoping to lose 3 pounds a week. also went running this morning, 3 minute intervals. seem to be getting easier, not as much pain, i just wish to get faster and be able to run at a steady speed for longer...really want an 8 minute/mile pace.

Campbeltown whiskies are a curious mix. Characteristics include a defined dryness with a pungency, smoke and a solid salinity. Imagine a cross between the Lowlands and the Western Highlands with a pinch of salt thrown in for good measure.
There was a time when Campbeltown was the most prolific of all of Scotland's whisky regions. Around a century ago there were as many as twenty-eight distilleries in the geographically smallest of Scottish appellations. Today there are but three: the newly founded Mitchell's Glengyle, though it will be a few more years 'til any Glengyle single malt whisky is bottled, Glen Scotia and Springbank, a distillery which produces three very different whiskies using different levels of peat and still combination. Campbeltown sits on the Mull of Kintyre peninsula protruding from the western coast, 'mist rolling in from the sea'. It is the proximity to the coast that gives the whisky its salty tang. Campbeltown single malts are often superb aperitifs.

European Stocks Take a Hit
European stock markets dropped, hammered by disappointing U.S. data and confusion over whether Cyprus was asking for more assistance for its bailout program.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index lost 0.9%, to close at 292.39, after putting in its strongest four-day performance since January. The index still managed to gain 1.8% on the week, buoyed by encouraging data from China earlier in the week and better-than-expected U.S. initial jobless claims.
Banks posted some of the biggest losses, with Banco Popolare off 3.9%, Commerzbank CRZBY -0.80 % down 2.8%, Deutsche Bank DB -1.53 % 3.6% lower, and Crédit Agricole CRARY 0.00 % down 2.8%.
"The confusion over if Cyprus needed extra funding got the markets a bit bumpy and got people worried about the contagion effect from the euro-zone crisis," said Manoj Ladwa, senior trader at ETX Capital. "Outside the euro zone we had poor U.S. data, with weak retail sales and consumer confidence much worse than expected. It obviously suggests that the sequester cuts have started to kick in."
Among the biggest movers in the pan-European index, German chemicals firm K+S fell 3.9%, as Deutsche Bank cut the firm to "sell" from "hold," saying its valuation looks too expensive and potash prices will remain under pressure.
On a more upbeat note, JCDecaux DEC -0.67 % rose 2.2% in Paris. Exane BNP Paribas BNPQY -1.12 % lifted the outdoor advertising company to "outperform" from "underperform," citing potential benefits from urbanization and investments in infrastructure in emerging markets.
Media reports said Cyprus was asking for extra assistance beyond the €10 billion ($13.1 billion) already pledged by its euro-zone partners and the International Monetary Fund. The country's finance ministry reportedly denied the reports, saying President Nicos Anastasiades instead was referring to technical and structural overhauls to restore the economy.
The Eurogroup of euro-zone finance ministers issued a statement on Friday, saying overhauls and restructuring efforts in Cyprus are in place to approve the bailout for the country, with the first disbursement seen by mid-May.
In the U.S., stocks fell after data showed retail sales in March posted the biggest slide in nine months. Sales fell a seasonally adjusted 0.4%, below forecasts of a 0.1% decline. Additionally, the University of Michigan-Thomson Reuters consumer-sentiment gauge unexpectedly dropped to the lowest level since July.
"At the start of the year there were hopes that the U.S. economy would lead the way for the global recovery. Now four months into the year, we're seeing a blip in the U.S. recovery, and investors are trying to analyze if this is short term or a wider collapse," Mr. Ladwa from ETX Capital said.
In Europe, data for the euro zone showed industrial production rose 0.4% in February.
"The underlying trend in the official data is still one of a sector in decline and in line with the [purchasing managers' index], which suggests the industrial downturn has eased compared to late last year but gathered momentum again in March," said Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit in a note. "Any further downturn in the euro-zone PMI in the second quarter could be the trigger for policy action from the [European Central Bank], which stands ready to act, possibly with a cut in interest rates, if business conditions deteriorate further."
Germany's DAX index slid 1.6%, to 7744.77, although still ended the week 1.1% higher. France's CAC-40 index lost 1.2%, to 3729.30, but rose 1.8% on the week.
Volkswagen slumped 3.3% in Frankfurt, after the car maker said it delivered 5.9% fewer vehicles in the first quarter compared with the same period last year, as demand took a general downturn.
Other auto makers tracked lower with Daimler declining 2.8% in Frankfurt and PSA Peugeot-Citroën PUGOY 2.84 % falling 3.4% in Paris.
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index gave up 0.5%, to 6384.39, but closed out the week 2.2% higher.
Gold miner Randgold Resources RNG 2.13 % sank 4.6%, as gold prices slumped to the lowest level since July 2011.
In Milan, Telecom Italia TI 4.03 % jumped 3.8%, after the board late Thursday gave the go-ahead for talks on a possible merger with the Italian mobile business of Hutchison Whampoa.

I asked this in a different comment thread, but decided to start a new one.
Is it possible to add an option to load the floating bar on the bottom of the window, and then keep it there even when the comment section loads?
I have seen this done on some major news sites, and having it there on the bottom of the screen helps with the natural eye flow movement of reading.
The way it is now, by the time a person is done reading the article and thinks, "That was good. I will share it" they are down at the comment section and the share bar has disappeared.

AmericasMart Appoints Broward To EVP
Friday August 22nd, 2014 - 10:17AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
AmericasMart has named Douglas Broward as executive vice president of marketing in an effort to continue his advance in AmericasMart business and brand growth, according to Jeffrey L. Portman, senior vice chairman and president of AmericasMart parent AMC, Inc.
Broward's appointment was made by action of the AMC, Inc. board at its quarterly meeting, the company announced.
Broward joined AmericasMart in February 2012 in the newly created position of svp/branding. His 2012 appointment followed an association with AmericasMart in his capacity as creative director for Grizzard Communications Group during the agency's AMC engagement. During his tenure, he built an omnichannel team responsible for conceptualizing and implementing marketing programming supporting AmericasMart's 14 annual markets and shows, the company said.
"When Douglas joined us, he was charged with creating and sustaining AmericasMart brand continuity across all shows, markets and business lines through all marketing communications channels and in on-site branding" says Portman. "His huge contributions have far exceeded that charge with a long list of successfully executed marketing and branding innovations positioning us for continued growth in the rapidly evolving industries we serve."
Broward also has almost 20 years of agency experience as chief creative officer of Grizzard Communications Group as well as his own agency. His work has garnered numerous industry accolades including the Addy, AMY and Echo awards.
