Power foundations or adjustable bases for mattresses
Electrical components in the motor control board can fail and short causing overheating, which poses a fire hazard.
For additional information, call Leggett at (855) 853-3539 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday ET, or visit the firm's website at www.titaniumrecall.com
About 25,200
The power foundations are motorized bed frames, controlled by handheld remotes, which enable the head and/or the foot of the bed mattress to be moved up and down. These power foundations were offered in all bed sizes and they were sold with handheld remote controls. The recalled models are "Titanium," "Gold" and "Signature" by Leggett & Platt and other brands names including Interflex, American Signature, Spring Air, Sealy and Simmons. Since power foundations look very similar, consumers should identify their products by looking at the remote controls. The remotes controls are either black or dark gray and feature multiple buttons and a label with one of these brand names: Adjustables by Leggett & Platt, Interflex, American Signature, Sealy, Simmons or Spring Air. Photographs of these remotes and these labels can be viewed anytime at www.titaniumrecall.com. No other power foundations are involved in this recall.
The firm has received 29 complaints of overheating in the electronic motor control board located in a housing underneath the deck of the power foundation. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
Consumers should immediately unplug the power cord and stop using the power functions of the beds. Consumers should contact Leggett to arrange for a free in-home repair of the product or for a free modification kit and consumer installation instructions.
Mattress retailers nationwide from March of 2008 to October of 2011 for about $1,700 to $2,200.

8 non-woodworking tools for woodworkerscomments (53) September 15th, 2009 in blogs
I spent last week building a fence for my bandsaw. In the process I had to cut a few bolts to length with a hacksaw. Not really a big deal, but it made me think about what other "non-woodworking" tools I use in my woodworking. I found eight that are not traditional tools for wood, but I use them all the time.
- Hacksaw: Cuts steel for jigs and shop furniture
- Putty knife: I use it for removing glue squeeze-out. I sharpened mine on a skew to make it better suited to get into tight spaces, but you can buy knives that are already skewed.
- Wax paper: It's great for protecting my benchtop during a glue-up.
- Scissors: They cut the wax paper (and other paper goods) to size.
- Flashlight: My shop has some dark corners and crevices; the flashlight helps me find dropped screws and other hardware, which always seem to roll into those dark areas. The light is also useful to help me see if I have gaps in joinery, like through dovetails (my eyes ain't what they used to be, and they weren't much to start with).
- Sill sealing insulation: I had a roll of this left over from a home project. I tape this stuff to my benchtop to cushion a workpiece as I put the final touches on it (chamfering edges, smoothing) or finish it. I've also wrapped finished work in it for transport.
- Radio/CD player: Gotta have some tunes, though it's also nice to listen to a baseball or football game, too.
- Coffee mug: Gotta have some caffeine.
What non-woodworking tools do you use?

There's some fairly good ideas here- and some real stinkers..
If it hasn't been mentioned yet (if it has, my bad), I use surgical tubing of various diameters (1/2" 1/4" etc) to bind glue-ups together. It's cheap, holds without marking/marring, adjusts to any shape and almost never breaks. Wood glue doesn't stick to it either- just peels right off.
Plus, if you get a big enough piece, you can make a gigantic slingshot and hurl all kinds of stuff across the backyard (to the delight of your children- and yourself as well :) ).
That's my 2 cents..
Posted: 2:57 pm on October 12th
I also use such nifties as masking tape, clothes pins, alligator clips as clamps and cool whip containers for drawing rounded corners. I've used knitting needles as hole finders, and encyclopedias to weigh down some objects that have been glued.
Add to this, pencil sharpeners, a paring knife, a jack knife, clip boards, magnets, and here's one that might be a surprise...chopsticks (you'd be amazed at what you can do with these things, and they're free at any chow mein place).

•The iPod is a constant shop companion... running through a dumpster saved old Kenwood receiver and resurrected car speakers in plywood boxes along with old television speakers.
• Every year our city has bulky item pickup where folks put out junk for city disposal. I have found that broken office chairs with gas cylinder height adjustment make terrific adjustable spray stands when the seat and back are discarded and replaced with a 22" diameter plywood disc. I have four of these now and having parts on wheels is a great time saver when spray finishing.
• Harbor Freight small movers' dollies are always on sale for $9.99 or less. They represent instant wheels for large pieces in and out of the spray booth. Where else can you get four swivel casters for under $10?
• At Office Depot years ago I bought a $19 Xacto wheel paper cutter for one of my children doing a major school project. It has served me now for 9 years for precision sandpaper cutting. While it no longer cuts school paper very well, it has never failed me for precise sizing of sandpaper for two different size sanding blocks.
• Also at Harbor Freight I have bought a dozen or so giant carabiner hooks which I hang randomly from the ceiling joists around the benches in my shop. They are the perfect size for hoses to sanders and routers, keeping hoses and power cords out of the way. Cords are "taped" to hoses with velcro organizer straps.
• Old speaker magnets serve to keep drill press chuck key in place and never lost as well as keeping a 6" engineer's square handy at both the table saw and the jointer.
• Someone's old yoga mat makes for a great sanding pad.
• Cheap kitchen under-cabinet lighting devices relieve eye strain on the fence stop system for my radial arm saw.
• Two old stereo cabinets on casters serve as sanding supply storage and drill press accessory/drill bit storage stations.
• A long outdated iMac computer running very old software now serves only to render cut lists for sheet stock using a great sheet optimizer program (shareware) that won't run on any newer computer anywhere.
• Coleman camping stove works great with converted 2.5 gallon gas can as steam generator for steam bending.
• The old 5" floppy disc storage cabinets are perfect for random orbit sander paper organizers.
• Document binder clips are all over my shop... some are mounted on the wall to hold a pair of rubber palmed gloves close to a machine where I might need better "grip-tion" while others mounted on a scrap of plywood hold an assortment of pre-cut sandpaper.
• Ten years ago I bought a vertical 10 drawer file cabinet that had been used for microfilm storage at a bank. The cabinet is a great storage place for all tool and machine manuals, various types of tape, gloves of various kinds, miscellaneous other "stuff." But the real extra was that in the cabinet were about one thousand old 4"X5" microfilm sheets which serve as shims and glue masks and countless other uses.

Since the one gallon can is rectangular I cut the broad side down the centerline and free from the top and bottom and fold it in (leaving the rounded portion of the corner alone to act as a structural stiffener for the sides).

It is a box, made from 3/4 and 1/2 inch plywood, 8X11X22 inches, handles on both of the small sides. Script supervisors sit on them, grips build platforms (or paths for short actors) from them, Electricians use them for stepstools to reach just a little higher, and prop people raise furniture up on them. I could go on. The standard set is one box as described above, a half apple (four inches on the short measurement) a quarter apple (you get the idea...) and a pancake, which is an eighth apple.
I have a half dozen sets for work,, and there is a use for one or more of them in my shop almost every day.
Also, I have recently begun using an old sleeping bag pad- a piece of foam, about six feet X 20 inches X 3/8 inch for a non slip surface when I have a quick routing or planing job on my bench
DO NOT FORGET THE HUMBLE RUBBERBAND! I cannot tell you how many times my backside has been saved...go on- try to clamp up that built up molding with no flat spots. what about that that little hexagonal box? the small round lamination? not to mention the help when storing multitudes of long skinny things.

It is great for marking outlet boxes and plumbing cutouts on the back of cabinets. Simply applying the lipstick on the protruding item and pressing the cabinet onto it, you have a great layout line for cutting.
Just don't ask your new helper to get it out of the toolbox....

I started using Wax Twine years ago to lace telcom cable bundles together. Using a double loop cinch knot you can clamp odd shapes together with amazing force. A double loop truckers knot can apply even more force. Think of the way a block and tackle works. The wax helps the twine slide tight and holds the knot once it is tightened.
When I make mineature oak barrels, several seperate rounds of Wax Twine are a good clamping method to pull in the staves a little at a time in each round. When I am tightening up the legs of an old chair, wax twine does the clamping without making marks in the finish.
In the last 30 years I have found endless uses for this material. In my opinion it is more versital than duct tape.
It's available at Graybar Supply. The thinner the twine, the better as you can always double it up.

For what, you ask? Mine is 24x36 and 1/2" deep. It fits perfectly(upside down) on top of my router table. My garage, er, shop is used for many types of work not just woodworking and my custom metal cover protects it from 'other' mechanical work.

18" cooling fan: my garage shop gets hot in the summer!
Coffee cans: not unusual I'm sure; I use them for storing volatile rags until they can be properly disposed of.
Rubber/polyvinyl drawer liners: make great mats for keeping a work piece still on the benchtop for operations such as sanding.

A refrigerated air dryer for your compressed air system. Lots of people think a water separator or filter do the same thing, but this is not true. Without one, your compressed air is at 100% humidity and condenses water with any pressure drop, like when you start using your tools.
A well-stocked beer fridge. Essential after the days work is done.

I've cut mine down to 4, 24"x48" pieces. Makes them easier to store, easier to setup and I only need to grab one or two sections when cutting smaller pieces of stck.

Some are just stupid. A Coffee mug is a tool? a fire extenguisher? smoke detector? C'mon! That's as sensable as "I use elctrical outlets, I find it makes the power tools work better when you switch them on"! I have them all over the shop!" C'mon!
Here's a tip. I've found sanding pads at my local woodworking store to be somewhat overpriced and typically undersized. You can find the same type of pads at Bed Bath & beyond sold as shelf linning and dinning room table pads.
They're large enough to fit your entire bench, at 1/4 the price. Cut to size to fit your needs. Save the small scraps,
you can use them as coasters under your woodworking coffee mug tool.

My workshop combines engineering and metalwork equipment, i.e. lathes saws, engineering measuring tools, etc., as well as woodworking equipment such as lathes, drills, bandsaw, carving tools, docking saws, etc. I find many of the engineering tools also useful in woodwork.
One other tool I find useful is a block and tackle suspended from the roof truss. I find at 76 with a bad back and hips I am unable to work comfortably at ground level so lift whatever I am working on to a bench or temporary bench so I do not have to bend.
All of the other suggestions made by other members I am familiar with and heartily concur with their listing.

- Meat trays for sorting hardware and keeping parts from rolling away.
- Dry erase board and markers for drawing up new ideas and writing shopping or to do lists. Kids love our "design sessions" for new projects.
- Three ring binders with clear document holders for organizing owners manuals, instructions, etc.
- Brown kraft paper on a roll for small projects. It keeps the bench clean and gives you a place to draw, write measurements, layout parts, etc.
- Gloves - I never wear 'em while using tools, but I almost always wear gloves when unloading the truck, loading wood, transporting tools, etc. I hate splinters and sharp metal edges!
- Tweezers (see "splinters" above!)
- ziploc bags in many sizes
- sharpie

Loyola, DG; Coldewey-Egbers, M (2012). Multi-sensor data merging with stacked neural networks for the creation of satellite long-term climate data records. EURASIP JOURNAL ON ADVANCES IN SIGNAL PROCESSING, 91.
AbstractThis article presents a novel artificial neural network technique for merging multi-sensor satellite data. Stacked neural networks (NNs) are used to learn the temporal and spatial drifts between data from different satellite sensors. The resulting NNs are then used to sequentially adjust the satellite data for the creation of a global homogeneous long-term climate data record. The proposed technique has successfully been applied to the merging of ozone data from three European satellite sensors covering together a time period of more than 16 years. The resulting long-term ozone data record has an excellent long-term stability of 0.2 +/- 0.2% per decade and can therefore be used for ozone and climate studies.

View wines from Southern Styria
Südsteiermark, Southern Styria, rolls over quite a geological kaleidoscope of soil types: from sand to slate, from marl to fossil-limestone. A warm and moist Mediterranean climate provides excellent conditions for growers who have made their mark on the world-stage with Sauvignon Blanc, driven to extremes of aromaticity by the mineral influence of the various soils. The vegetation season spreads itself out late into the autumn and the nights are cool all along the way.
There are almost 2,000 hectares of vines growing in the wildly romantic landscape of Southern Styria, where the extremely hilly terrain provides most of the hundred-some growers with plenty of exercise as they first cultivate and then harvest their vines.
Other varieties producing idiomatic and tempting wines include Traminer, Muskateller, Welschriesling (no relation, it's the Italico, not the true Rhine Riesling) and Chardonnay, here called Morillon. Current national borders are not always consistent with tradition and history. Untersteiermark, Lower Styria, lies below the Austrian border in Slovenia.

The Book Thief
by Markus Zusak
The Book Thief Theme of Suffering
You'll notice suffering from page one of The Book Thief. Cold, hunger, emotional and physical abuse, guilt, the horror of the battlefield – all these play heavily into the suffering of the characters. Set primarily in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust, suffering is the rule, not the exception. The novel doesn't enter the concentration camps and focus on the immense sufferings occurring there. Instead, these camps are a dark shadow coloring everything in horror and fear. Suffering and guilt over the loss of loved ones is also a major focus in The Book Thief.
Questions About Suffering
- What are the various forms of suffering we encounter in the novel? Have you experienced any of these?
- If a reader doesn't know much about the Holocaust, does the novel adequately express the suffering Jews experienced during the Holocaust? Why or why not?
- Is guilt connected to suffering in The Book Thief? Why or why not?
- What are some sites of intense suffering in the novel?
- How do the main characters cope with suffering?
Chew on This
Learning to comfort and aid those who are suffering is a big part of Liesel's development as a person.
The novel argues that trying to ease suffering is the noblest of causes.

Fall 2010 Hauser Colloquium
Hauser Globalization Colloquium Fall 2010
Professors Ryan Goodman & Robert Keohane
Furman Hall 900, Pollack Colloquium Room
Wednesdays 2:00 pm-3:50pm
(unless otherwise noted)
The Hauser Colloquium for 2010-11 focuses on the intersection of international law and politics. International law and international politics are in tension with one another, since law purports to be general and principled, while politics is often highly particular and shaped by interests and power. To explore this tension and its ramifications, this seminar will feature speakers both from political science and from law, who will, from different disciplinary and paradigmatic perspectives, examine how institutions and law reflect, and alter, the availability of information, interests of relevant actors, and policy outcomes.

One thing that's going to be very important for us to talk about is WordPress security. We're working locally here so WordPress security isn't a big deal, but ultimately we're going to be moving this site live, out to the web, out in public, and security is a very big deal there. Because bad guys, basically they want into your site, they want to do nefarious things to it, they want to insert their links to it to help them out with SEO in some terrible way, or they want to redirect your site to their site, all kinds of nasty things.
We're trying to fight against them and make sure that they can't get access to do those things. So WordPress, unfortunately, because it's basically the world's number one publishing platform, is a big target. Bad guys are always trying to break into WordPress and find exploits for it. It's a little bit akin to the Windows versus Mac kind of thing, in that Windows is such a bigger target that bad guys are always trying to work on viruses for Windows, because there are so many more Windows computers out there.
There's a lot of WordPress sites out there, so they have all the incentive they need to be working in hacks for that. So some of the most simple things you can deal with, and that are absolutely some of the most important things as well, is just picking strong passwords. Ultimately you're going to have FTP access to your site. Make sure that the password to FTP is very strong. That your database password is very strong and that literally your user, if we go under here, into our Dashboard, into our Admin area, into our User area, our password for our login to WordPress is very strong as well.
Now, maybe a year ago or so, mid-2009, there was an exploit found in WordPress that would be able to create a new admin user and that would have access to do everything to your account. Change things in the database of course, because they have access to back here, which is where we do that, and your theme as well, because literally you can edit your theme from the Appearance Editor and change theme files as well. So if somebody gets access to the backend here of the site, they can really trash it in a way.
So that's no good. Make sure your passwords are strong. Now, another important consideration is when we're going to be moving this site live to the web through an FTP Editor, all those files have certain file permissions. Like who is allowed to edit it, and the numbers that we're shooting fo -- now, if you're an FTP client and you like right-click on a file and Get Info, those files-- and the files I'm talking about here are the core WordPress files in our htdocs folder here.
Files have a permission of 644 and folders have a permission of 755. Those are the numbers that you're shooting for to keep things locked down. Now, there's a number of security precautions that we can take directly in this file, this wp-config file. I'm going to double-click that to open it in our code editor. Now, you remember at the top of this file, we had to edit it to add the database user, the database password and the database name. Now, we didn't do anything else in here and WordPress recommends that for one thing, we set up these authentication keys. This is just an easy quick step.
It gives you this URL that you can put into your browser and it's going to give you code to replace this with. I have that open here. We can just copy and paste that code and put it in there as an extra security measure. The thing below that is this thing called table_prefix. You can see its value is wp_. I'm going to go ahead and open up the database that we're using to run our WordPress site locally. It's this free software, Sequel Pro. I have it open here. I'm going to go ahead and connect to our local MySQL Server and choose the WordPress database that we set up when we installed WordPress.
Now it's all populated with the tables for all of our WordPress data. You can see that each one of these tables starts with wp_. So we could literally come in here and change that table_prefix on each one of these tables. If we do that, it's going to basically break our WordPress site, until we come in here and change it to what we changed the table_prefix to be. Now, the reason you would do that is that a bad guy might try and get access to your site and if they do get access, run a bunch of scripts to insert or delete stuff from your database, and that script probably depends on this default table_prefix.
So if you change yours, their scripts will break and you'll be safe, so it's kind of a security measure that way. Now, one of the most important things in regards to security is not only prevention but being able to roll back to a non-hacked site in case your site is hacked up. So I'm talking about backups. Now, when you're talking about backups in WordPress, we're talking about two different things. We're talking about the files, your theme, all that stuff that we've been working on, basically our theme file here and anything else that we've edited in the WordPress-land, but we're talking about the database as well.
So we need to back up both of those things. You can do it manually. You can login through an FTP site and just grab all these files and maybe drag them to your Desktop and burn them to a CD and mail it to your mom or anything like that. You can also do it manually. Now, to do it manually for the database, there's a great plug-in called the WP-DBManager. So if you go to wordpress.org, into their Plugin Directory, and look around for the WP-DBManager, it's at this URL, go ahead and download that, install it to your site, and activate it from the Plugins menu.
There're a few steps that you have to take, but it allows you to do on-demand backup of your database and you can literally even have it email you your database, like on a daily basis. So if all of a sudden you found out your site was hacked, there was a database problem, you would have a copy of your WordPress database from before the hack, so that's a great plugin for that. Now, another one that I really like is called WordPress File Monitor. It looks at all the different files from your installation, literally all of these files, and it will watch and see if they ever change.
If any file changes, you can have it notify you. So again, you just activate it as a plug-in and we'll add a new setting. Go under Settings there and you can give it an email address, where it will send those notifications to you. If you have specific files that you don't want to be notified about, you can put their paths here. Examples being if you upload new files or cache folders. You wouldn't want to be notified of those things changing, but anything else. So a bad guy gets into your site, changes the file, you get an email that's like wow, a file change, I wasn't in there doing anything, so you'd know that something is happening right away.
Now, there's one more thing that deals with both database backups and file backups combined into one. The makers of WordPress is a company called Automattic and they have another product here called VaultPress. Now, it's an online service. It's not free, but it's not too expensive either. I think it's $15 a month or $40 a month. But it's a plug-in you install on your WordPress site and it backs up to their servers securely your database and all the files from your site, so combined.
It does all of that, and then it looks through all those files for potential security problems and tells you about it. So it's a backup solution, an all-in-one backup solution, a cloud-based backup solution. So your data is safe up there. And a security monitoring tool. So if your site is important enough to have all this stuff, definitely consider VaultPress as a tool and definitely take security seriously on your site.

Out against Rafa
Roger suffered a 7-6(5), 2-6, 6-7(5), 4-6 loss against Rafael Nadal in the semi-final of the Australian Open today. It was an incredibly intense match, offering the spectators a true tennis-spectacle.
Roger started perfectly into duel no. 27 with Nadal, breaking the Spaniard in his first service game. But and only a few sloppy points at 4-2 gave Nadal enough room to find back into the set. But Roger managed to take the first tiebreak only a bit later. In the second set, Roger lost his rhythm, giving Nadal plenty of room for a total of three breaks. Our champ then saved a set point in the 11th game of the third set, eventually forcing a tiebreaker. After three unforced errors on Roger's side, Nadal clinched the set on his last of five set points. In set number four, an early break on Nadal's side was enough for him to seal his victory after 3:42 hours.
"I thought Rafa played well from start to finish," Roger said. "It was a tough match physically as well. I'm disappointed, but it's only the beginning of the season. I'm feeling all right, so it's OK."
Basically Federer doesn't like to play long rallies, he expects short winners
SO he needs to be ready to play long long rallies only then he can beat players like nadal.
Nadal is an exceptional returner of the ball and that irritates Fedex and he just gives up the game
Instead he needs to drag him till the end play long rallies be ready for it only then its possible .
Good article. It's a pity that the dynamics of net play and quick thinking are now extinct in the modern day players set-up. Slowing of the courts at Wimbledon is really making it feel like any other grandslam. The exclusive feel of the grass court and the style of play associated with it from a decade ago made this grandslam unique. It's basically killing the title chances of single-handed backhand and serve and volley players.
Nadal is a lefthanded player and that is problem nr.1 for Federer ( who has
a weak backhand as well.)
You are the greatest Roger. If you'd been in the final at Melbourne it wouldn't have been a 6 hour slugfest. What a travesty!

Probably the "Open List of Activation Group Attributes (QWVOLAGP)" API might be a starting point. It
produces a list of all activations groups of a job and their attributes. Beside other attributes it
returns the "Static storage size" and the "Heap storage size".
It might be possible to detect memory leaks by periodically calling this API and compare the results.

Love It or Leave It: Zooey Deschanel is Perfect, Just Like Always
1/23/2014 2:00 PM PST, by Emily Trainham
Have you ever looked at a photo of Zooey Deschanel and thought anything other than "man, that is one perfect human being and a delightful example of fun, adorable fashion"? No, of course you haven't, because that is the only acceptable reaction to Zooey. She's cute, she's fun, she's smart: she's the best. And her look for the Elle's Annual Women in Television Celebration last night just proves it.
Verdict: love it. You have to love everything that Zooey ever wears, or else you're not a real person. Or, OK, you can be a real person, but you don't have a soul.

Barely a year after they successfully rallied to save three trees threatened by a development in their Willow Glen neighborhood, the Friends of Franquette Trees are mobilizing again after a sycamore at 10 Franquette Ave. was cut down recently without the proper city permit.
This time, the group is aiming at property owners' wallets. District 6 Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio is supporting the Friends' proposal that fines for illegal tree removal be based on 3 percent of the assessed value of the parcel where the tree once stood.
"A thousand dollars means nothing," says Friends member Lisa Plane, referring to the current penalty for cutting down an ordinance-size tree. "People spend more than that on bathroom fixtures."
The city council has put the group's proposal on the agenda for its Sept. 9 meeting.
Like the redwood, oak and cedar trees on Franquette Avenue that were spared the ax last summer, the sycamore was large enough to be protected under San Jose's tree ordinance. The city requires that homeowners get a permit and go through a public hearing and notification process before removing living trees with trunk circumferences of 56 inches or more.
Plane says the sycamore had a trunk circumference of 80 inches, and that the homeowners who had it removed told her they were unaware of the city's tree ordinance, as did the workers from Bartlett Tree Experts who did the job.
"They cut down the tree on the same day as the Our City Forest awards," Plane adds, referring to OCF's Aug. 2 event honoring "20 Years of Volunteers," including Franquette Avenue resident Catherine Lydon.
To increase home buyers' awareness of ordinance-size trees on their new property, Lydon has put together a pamphlet for distribution among real estate agents selling homes along Franquette Avenue.
"It almost should be a disclosure item because it's such a big deal in the neighborhood," Plane says. "We're losing our canopy."

Committed: The Weekly LP Update
The job of advising New Mexico Educational Retirement Board 's private equity portfolio is up for grabs.
The $10.9 billion pension fund plans to launch a request for proposals process by June to select a private equity consultant. Incumbent NEPC may rebid, however new entrants could oust the firm.
NEPC took over as New Mexico's private equity consultant amid the tumultuous pay-to-play scandals that led to the termination of previous adviser Aldus Equity.
NEPC saw New Mexico's private equity portfolio increase to $728.9 million as of Sept. 30. from $155.5 million in market value in 2009.
It isn't clear who will submit bids during the process, but previous efforts suggest a competitive tone.
The Los Angeles City Employees' Retirement System, for example, went through a multiround RFP process last year before selecting Portfolio Advisors as its private equity consultant in January.
Portfolio Advisors beat StepStone Group and Lacers's previous consultant, Hamilton Lane , for the job.
Lacers plans to rely on its new consultant to help overhaul its portfolio, specifically reducing its general partner relationships, increasing commitment sizes and broadening its investment spectrum.

A Community of Exceptional Nurses
Back to AACN News Home
Donna Sindicich, RN, CCRN, CEN, HHP, believes nurses need an outlet to express their feelings about experiences, and their frustrations.
For her, art is not only therapeutic but a means to address myriad social issues in a way people can understand.
As an ICU/CCU staff nurse at Western Medical Center in Santa Ana, Calif., Sindicich has shared her creative talents with patients and colleagues. For example, at Halloween she carved various shapes of body organs on a pumpkin to make a jack-o-lantern. She is also a painter and a sculptor who has employed art to promote healthcare issues.
Describing herself as a "Renaissance woman," Sindicich said she pulls the bulk of her material from real-life experiences including, but not limited to, her practice. Earlier this year, she wrote and directed a 1-act play titled "Co Boo," which was set in an ICU. The play was presented in May at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, Calif.
"Co Boo" uses a split stage in which nurses can interact with a mix of comic characters and situations to address the conflict they feel.
"It's a comedy, but there's a lot of pathos in it," Sindicich explained.
The title of the play, she said, playfully represents the way a nurse with a mouth full of crackers would sound calling a "Code Blue."
She said she is fascinated by bioethics, which she tries to deal with through a variety of media.
One of her sculptures focused on rape. As part of the focus, "rape forms" were cut up and utilized as "sound bites" on the piece.
"There is so much that needs to be said, but how many ways can you say it," she commented. "I use the ways that work for me."
An asthmatic herself, Sindicich said she often thinks about end-stage pulmonary disease. To her, the thorax represents a sort of cage, inspiring her to form a sculpture in the shape of a cradle.

Most Annoying Travel Fees
Baggage Fees
Major carriers charge $25 to check one bag on domestic flights—and raked in $3.5 billion in baggage fees in 2012, up nearly 4 percent from the previous year, according to the Department of Transportation. Many travelers have responded by packing just light enough to squeeze their bags into an overhead bin. But even that option may be waning. Low-cost carriers Spirit and Allegiant both charge for carry-on luggage, and Frontier Airlines announced it will charge $25–$100 for the use of the overhead bin to passengers who book economy fares through online agencies or travel agents.
Tip: Bags still fly free on Southwest, and JetBlue passengers may check their first bag at no expense. The Citi AAdvantage MasterCard and Visa offer a first bag checked free for the cardholder and four companions; the Delta SkyMiles card from American Express (the parent company of Travel + Leisure) grants a one bag checked free for up to nine people on the same reservation.

If there is one universal truth to this outline it is that we retain the right to change these rules at any time. These are guidelines of what we generally expect, and simply because we haven't explicitly stated here that you can't do X doesn't mean you, by default, can. Generally I don't like Codes of Conduct because it implies that the forum members don't know the appropriate way to act in a public forum. My feeling has always been that if you need these rules to know how to act, then you're probably not going to be here long. And to my great enthusiasm, the vast majority of you have not needed to be told how to act.
A larger problem I have with CoCs is that a great many people see a code of conduct and then have a letter of the law to follow instead of the spirit, meaning they exploit the loopholes and hide behind the argument 'well, it wasn't in the CoC to act like an unmitigated jerk in this surprising and new way, so it's fine.' Let me put that argument to rest now.
Certis and I retain the right to freely edit, delete, moderate, and ban for any reason.
With that said, here are some general guidelines:
1) Treat all forum members with respect -- The best way to get along well here is to be respectful of everyone you speak with. This is not to say you can't argue, debate, and discuss, but that you do so with all the recognized conventions of personal and public interaction. In a very general sense, imagine that you're having these discussions face to face in a restaurant. You wouldn't shout across the table, spout constant profanity, or even hurl food across the table, and if you would then these are not the forums for you.
2) No personal attacks -- I can't believe I have to explicitly state something that should be patently obvious, but we have no interest in folks who can't turn a phrase without attacking someone. If you simply can't respect opinions that differ from yours, then you've got the whole internet to spit vitriol, but you're not going to do it here. This is easily the quickest way to get banned.
3) No Excessive Profanity - We're not so Draconian or Polyanna as to think people don't curse when they get passionate about a topic, and this is one of those gray areas where it very much depends on the context. The general rule is that if your statement is largely predicated on the fact that you've used an obscenity, that is if the obscenity itself is the thrust of your statement then it doesn't belong. A good measure of this is by percentage, which is to say if you have two sentences, and they both have profanity then you're on the wrong side of the line. If however you've crafted a passionate argument and use profanity to augment a genuine statement then it's not a problem. Further, tone is a serious consideration here.
4) You Must Attempt to Follow English Standard - This is not a rule meant to squelch the voices of those who do not use English as a first language, but to remove those for whom English is their primary language but can not be bothered to form coherent sentences. We won't ban you if you choose to haphazardly split infinitives, but the basic conventions of the language are a requirement, I think, for intelligent discussion. That means employing punctuation, capitalization, sentences, paragraphs, subjects/verbs, and the recognized and proper use of alpha/numeric characters (meaning W is not \/\/). Elite speak, except in the most ironic of circumstances, is forbidden, and internet acronyms like LOL, WTF, and AFAIK are to be used at a minimum.
5) No Links or Requests for Pirated Material or Warez Sites - I will not necessarily squelch an intelligent debate on the topics of piracy, fair use, ripping, downloading music, and so on, but we will not permit any links to illegal sites. Furthermore, publicly asking for permission or invitation to private pirate communities is not an appropriate post for our boards.
6) No Pornography - Let's just assume that everyone who uses the internet knows how to find porn if they want it. Thus, posting links or images here is really unnecessary, so let's just not have it. This includes links in your profile.
7) No "I'm Leaving!" Threads - That's not to say that if you've been a contributing member for some time and developed relationships here that you can't tell us what's going on in your life. If you're leaving for reasons that don't have to do with being a petulant whiner, then we're not going to hold you back, but if you feel like you've been unfairly treated by admins or that too many people disagree with your opinion, then just leave and don't bother telling us what jerks we all are. We really will get on without knowing that you're leaving because the admins suck. It's not that we're squelching your freedom to speak (though, you really have no 'rights' here), it's just that we don't care. On a similar note, if you've been warned or even just mildly reprimanded by an admin in private, then don't make a thread just to bemoan your mistreatment or to suggest that you'll be banned soon. We've had that thread once, and I hated it. We're not having it again.
8 ) Avoid 'I'm New!' Threads - We're ecstatic that people feel like joining the discussion, and we're happy to have you, but you'd be best served just joining a discussion and not starting a new thread.
8.5) No 'Read The CoC' Responses to I'm New Threads - It may not be ideal, but we do want to be welcoming to new members, and having the posse ride out with guns on hips is not exactly a fruitbasket of Welcome to the Site. If it's a problem, moderators will handle it.
9) Usernames are not to be vulgar or ridiculously childish. You may think it's funny to name yourself after shocking body parts or acts of coitus, I think it's just apropos, and is precisely the kind of material that you're welcome to share somewhere else with someone who wants to read it.
10) Don't register on the site simply to advertise a product or service in the forums, we get bombarded with enough ads as it is on a daily basis.
11) Be descriptive with your thread titles. People should be able to glance at your thread title and determine what it's about. It keeps repeat posts to a minimum and lets people know if they'll want to read your thread. For example. Bad: Best Thing Ever! Good: My New Viper: Best Thing Ever!. The first will either get skipped over or offtopic quickly, the second will let Viper lovers come in and give you great advice or possibly buy you a drink.
12) No images in signatures, no distractingly animated avatars. We don't really want the clutter.
13) The use of a NSFW (Not Safe For Work) tag is required on threads that contain links to questionable, crude, vulgar, or pornographic material, or direct member contributed material of an explicit nature. It is also required on threads where the use of traditionally vulgar language becomes excessive. NSFW threads are not exactly in the spirit of Gamers With Jobs, as we are a site that, by nature, is supposed to be as much for people at work as casual browsers, so the tolerance for these types of threads is low. NSFW tags should be used sparingly and with the understanding that they will be open to closer moderation as needed. Explicit material should be clearly labeled when linked to, and not exposed directly by image or quote on the site itself, particularly when more explicit. We reserve the right to make judgment calls on moderating, locking, or deleting Not Safe For Work material, and our level of moderation is likely to increase in times of greater NSFW posts, which means that if there's already a fair quantity of explicit material floating around, it's probably best not to bother.
In short, Not Safe For Work should be saved for truly clever material, and used with great discretion and consideration for all members of the community. We do not want to walk over everyone's fun, but all things in moderation.
-- The Intangibles --
Let's be honest. This is not a commercial site, and we have a fairly small community. Since Certis and I pretty much run this site out of our own pocket and with what free-time we have, then we can really be as Draconian or free-spirited as we like. For the most part, the less we have to moderate, the happier we are. So, if we have edited or modded you, then we feel like you've solidly crossed the lines of the kind of discussion we wish to foster. This is not to say that we now hate you or wish to persecute you, though we will become increasingly troubled with those we have to regularly moderate.
The official structure is this:
First Offense) A private warning
Second Offense) A public warning
Third Offense) Gone
Naturally this depends on the severity of the infraction, and if you do something unpleasant enough - or even catch us on a really bad day - you may very well be banned the first or second time out, particularly if you act in retaliation to a warning. More likely, you will be given several chances to straighten up and conform to our liberal expectations (don't like to conform? Look at all that Internet out there where you don't have to).
Not every moderation or edit we do will be accompanied by a warning. Sometimes we just feel like the tone isn't appropriate for the forums. If this happens to you, don't take it personally, and don't assume you're now on some list. If we're giving you a serious warning, we promise that you'll know it. Otherwise, we'll just make a slight change and move on. It's nothing personal. It's just meant to ensure that this remains a worthwhile place to discuss all issues.
Further, there is also an issue of credibility and reputation. If you've been a long standing and contributing member of this community then you're going to get a lot more leeway. I freely admit that we will have double-standards for those who have contributed to a healthy discussion in the past and those who we've seen as 'trouble'. I'm no paragon of justice here, and if I like you then you've got a much better chance of not getting warned or banned than those who don't. This doesn't mean you need to agree with everything I say, but if you demonstrate some capacity for intelligent discussion I'm not going to be nearly as quick to show you the door. I think it's only fair to state this explicitly, because it's the truth:
If you've been given a warning in the past, then your behavior will be held to a higher standard than everyone else. If you have been given a warning, particularly a public one, then you will have to work harder to repair your reputation.
Is that fair? I don't know. I never promised complete fairness. I'm a human being, so is Certis, and you're not paying for a service here, so this is pretty much our house. We don't like how you act in our house, we ask you to leave. It's the cold hard facts fellas. The good news is we generally like people so this isn't going to remotely affect the majority of you. The even better news is it means we will ensure there is flame-free and intelligent discussion here. If it sounds like too much work for not enough reward, we're fine with that and assume you know how to find your way to another website.

ROME (CNS) -- Although Pope Benedict XVI will seek to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor, he will bring his own charism and contribution to the Church, said a group of U.S. cardinals who took part in the election of the German pope.
"This pontificate is totally new, the pope has chosen a new name, but at the same time he has indicated a real desire to be in continuity" with the legacy of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XV, said Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia.
The cardinal said the new pope is dedicated to the teachings of the Second Vatican Council and interested in collegiality or how the local bishops share responsibility and decision-making with the pope and the Roman Curia.
Pope Benedict will approach these issues in "his own way, but in faithful collegiality to John Paul II and Benedict XV," Cardinal Rigali said in an April 20 press conference at the North American College.
Cardinal Adam J. Maida of Detroit said the new pope will be "his own man" and "a spiritual guide."
"God will use him as an instrument of grace," he said.
"God has picked the most unusual people and put them in places of authority. Even with (the pope's) gifts, talents and shortcomings," ultimately "it will be the grace of God" that leads the Church, Cardinal Maida said.
The U.S. cardinals, who spoke to reporters April 19 and 20 in Rome, agreed that Pope Benedict is a warm, humble man who will reach out to people around the world.
"He's a very loving, lovely person, very unassuming, and shortly you will see this," Cardinal Edward M. Egan of New York said April 19 following the election.
Asked by a reporter how the new pope might fare with U.S. Catholics given his sometimes negative portrayal in the press, Cardinal Egan said: "I think he'll play very well as soon as people get to know him. You need to be slow in making judgments. Sometimes it's good to watch for a while and see if what you've heard is true."
Cardinal Roger M. Mahony of Los Angeles said one must be careful not to make judgments about a person based on "labels" and "caricatures."
People "will have to get to know this man as we know him," he said April 20 at the press conference.
The previous evening, Cardinal Mahony told Catholic News Service that people who think they know the new pope from having read about his defense of Church teaching and his disciplining of theologians do not know Pope Benedict.
"Much of the baggage that goes with anyone who is given a responsibility is hard to overcome," the cardinal said. "But his job was preserving the doctrine of the Church against dilution or errors. That was his job; that is what Pope John Paul II asked him to do, but that is not his job now.
"I think you will see emerge his far more spiritual and pastoral sides," Cardinal Mahony said.
"I have seen him in those roles, and I think people will be very, very surprised in a good sense," he said. "He is a very pastoral man and deeply spiritual."
Cardinal Egan said one memory in particular of Pope Benedict illustrated his character. After working at the Roman Rota and teaching at Rome's North American College, then-Father Egan was named a bishop and called back to the United States. The new pope, then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, called him to his office so he could say goodbye in person, a human touch that should allay criticism, said Cardinal Egan.
Addressing a question about the new pope's lack of pastoral experience -- he was elected after 24 years as the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith -- Cardinal Rigali pointed to the new pope's 1977-82 tenure as archbishop of Munich and Freising, Germany.
"It was precisely because he had been a pastor, precisely because he had been involved with the people," that Pope John Paul II "chose him in 1981 in order to come to Rome and be ... in the service of the universal Church," Cardinal Rigali said.
He portrayed Pope Benedict as unassuming and told reporters that the new pontiff remembered his birthday April 19.
"With all the things he had to think about, I was very grateful," Cardinal Rigali said.
Cardinals Rigali and Egan praised Pope Benedict for his theological sophistication and ability to speak several languages. The new pope speaks German, English, Italian, French and Spanish, they said, adding that they had heard he also speaks Portuguese.
Cardinal Rigali said the pope's interest in languages showed a "desire to reach out to people. The reason he wants to speak languages is because he's interested in the people who speak those languages."
Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick of Washington said April 20 he felt Cardinal Ratzinger was the right man to be elected pope because "he had a sense of the Church at this time after the long pontificate of John Paul II as we move into other challenges."
Cardinal Francis E. George of Chicago added, "It was a choice that was almost clear from the very beginning."
After the papal election, each cardinal approached Pope Benedict individually, and the new pontiff invited all the cardinals to dinner at the Domus Sanctae Marthae, where cardinals stayed during the conclave.
"He was very relaxed, very serene and very joyful," said Cardinal Rigali, adding that the pope did not make a speech at the impromptu dinner.
Cardinal George recalled that on the evening Pope John Paul was elected pope, he was joined by the other Polish cardinals in singing some Polish folk songs.
This time at the dinner after Pope Benedict's election, "we sang a couple of songs in Latin. There were no folk songs," he said.
Afterward, Cardinal Rigali said, "some of the cardinals were telling (the new pope) to get a good night's rest."

Recently I mentioned here Apple's upcoming Spotlight as a precursor of
technologies that may fundamentally change how we interact with our PCs in
many different areas. Several people wrote me privately to inquire about the
ramifications. I'm tardy with my response, but, on the eve of Microsoft's
response to Google Desktop Search, I'll try to outline briefly here how
Spotlight is different:
1. Pervasive - Unlike third-party apps like GDS, Spotlight is part of the
OS. It's omnipresent as an icon on the OS menu bar.
2. Low-level - Spotlight's indexing engine tracks every file as it is
created, opened, changed, copied or deleted. Because these operations are
tracked at the kernel level, Spotlight updates incrementally and in
3. Integrated - Because it's part of the OS frameworks, developers can
easily hook into the amazing capabilities of Spotlight with minimal effort.
Spotlight will also be present in Open/Save dialog boxes. (Just think about
that for a moment.)
4. Intra-app - Just like the notion of Unix piping, the data of one app can
be "exposed" to another one via a Spotlight search, if the file format is
indexable by Spotlight. For example, your own custom app may not understand
anything about 3D GIS maps, but if the developer of that foreign app has
created a Spotlight plugin, you can search inside that app's database and
extract relevant files without you doing any extra coding at all.
When you select a person in the upcoming Address Book app and then conduct a
Spotlight search, a Spotlight window will open with all the files related to
that person (in all formats, from email to Excel), based on content and meta
data available in the file. So that the Address Book without changing its
codebase becomes a much more powerful product (sort of a mini-project
manager) by simply hooking up to Spotlight.
5. Advanced search - You can optionally invoke a sidebar that allows fine
tuning of search parameters like scope, date, etc. This is fairly unique
both in its reach and its presentation, rivaling some KMS stuff out there.
6. Fast - Amazingly so. Pretty much as fast as you can type.
7. Extensible - Unlike virtually any other search system, Spotlight is
extensible. While it recognizes a long list of file formats, developers can
write their own plugins to their own exotic metadata and expose it via
8. Smart Folders - Just like the smart folders concept in iTunes, Spotlight
allows end users to create arbitrary collection of files based on a
combination of keywords or file attributes that are *dynamically* kept fresh
in real-time. Just think about that for a second and say goodbye to anal
retentive file/folder manipulation on your PC. The file system can now
become truly virtual for a vast number of daily operations.
9. Automator/Dashboard - Couple Spotlight with the upcoming Automator that
allows end users to create custom workflows visually without writing any
code and Dashboard that allows HTML/JavaScript coders to easily create
mini-apps with great looks, and you got yourself a potent way of dealing app
data, information and documents.

The Seafarer
by Anonymous
Lines 31 - 47 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 31 – 33
The shadows of night darkened, it snowed from the north,
frost bound the ground, hail fell on the earth,
coldest of grains. […]
- Just when you thought the weather couldn't get any worse, it does. Night falls, bringing with it frost, snow, and hail. Instead of just saying that it gets dark, the speaker tells us that the "shadows of night darkened," which sounds far more ominous if you ask us.
- The speaker personifies frost by saying it "bound" the ground, just like it bound his feet in line 9.
- We've also got another metaphor here, "coldest of grains," which describes hail. The Anglo-Saxon word for grain here is corna, which means corn, seed, or berry. It's something you eat, and it's supposed to give you nourishment. Here, though, instead of feeding the speaker, the grain torments him.
Lines 33 - 38
[…] Indeed, now they are troubled
the thoughts of my heart, that I myself should strive with
the high streams, the tossing of salt waves—
the wish of my heart urges all the time
my spirit to go forth, that I, far from here,
should seek the homeland of a foreign people—
- Let's take a turn inward, shall we? In these lines, we move from the stormy weather to our speaker's own heart.
- Hmm, this is a bit strange: Instead of saying that he is troubled, or that he wishes to go on a journey, the speaker attributes his feelings and wishes to his heart's thoughts or "spirit." It's like his heart is a separate thing whose wishes may or may not match his own.
- The Anglo-Saxon version actually uses two different words here for heart: the first is heort, while the second is mód, which can also be translated as "mind." Modern translators are uncertain about what mód actually means, but it seems to refer to something like spirit.
- The thoughts of the speaker's heart urge him to "strive" with the streams and waves. The verb "strive" makes the ocean into an enemy warrior against which the speaker must do battle.
- As it turns out, the whole reason our speaker goes on this journey in the first place is to "seek the homeland of a foreign people." The word homeland at first suggests a place that's warm, comforting, and familiar. But the poem immediately turns this around and calls it the homeland of a foreign, or unfamiliar people. What's that all about?
- But here's the real question: why is his heart telling him to do this? Here's to hoping we'll find out soon.
Lines 39 - 43
Indeed there is not so proud-spirited a man in the world,
nor so generous of gifts, nor so bold in his youth,
nor so brave in his deeds nor so dear to his lord,
that he never in his seafaring has a worry,
as to what his Lord will do to him.
- To keep things simple, we'll paraphrase these lines briefly: Everybody worries about what might happen to him at sea, no matter how proud, blessed, bold, brave, or loved he is. All these qualities should make us feel secure, but they don't. They're not enough to keep anyone, let alone the seafarer, safe.
- These qualities also give us a hint as to what an Anglo-Saxon like the seafarer might value: pride, generosity, bravery, and being taken care of by a lord, which you might think of as a rich boss who has your back.
- Despite possessing all of these things, however, a man "in the world" continues to worry about what his Lord with a capital "L" (God) will ordain for him. In this case, God is the only one who has any control over the hardships we face.
- With the word "proud," the poem reminds us of the proud city-dwellers of lines 26-30 who enjoy a cushy, comfortable life. But as we find out here, their good luck may give out at any moment.
- There's just one more thing to note here: the concept of seafaring becomes more figurative in these lines than it has been so far. In previous passages, the descriptions of stormy weather and landscape made it seem like the speaker was really out on the open sea. Here, though, in the context of luck and fortune, "seafaring" almost seems like more of a metaphor for the journey through life on earth. It's as if he's saying that everyone is a seafarer in a way.
Lines 44 - 47
Not for him is the sound of the harp nor the giving of rings
nor pleasure in woman nor worldly glory—
nor anything at all unless the tossing of the waves;
but he always has a longing he who strives on the waves.
- Earthly pleasures like ring-giving (the granting of gifts by a lord to his vassal, or subject), sex, and worldly glory, or fame, are "not for him." Who's the "him" here? Probably the seafarer, who has no interest in these things because he's well aware of how temporary and worthless they really are.
- The only thing such a man cares about is the "tossing of the waves." That's quite a shift from his worry about those waves during his anxious night watch in line 6.
- Despite the fact that he has given up earthly pleasures, this man still feels desire, or "longing," although we don't yet know what he longs for. More travel? A homecoming? The ocean itself?
- The verb "strive" appears again, and again it makes the sea seem like a battleground. But just who is the enemy here?
