Colorful Histories
Most New York baseball fans know the Mets' team colors derive from the city's two previous National League clubsblue from the Dodgers and orange from the Giants. But while that explains the Mets' chromatic lineage, here's a trickier question: Why were the Dodgers and Giants wearing blue and orange in the first place?
For no particular reason, as it turns out. And that's not surprisingin baseball's early days, team colors often had less to do with aesthetic choices than with which fabrics were being offered at a discount by the local sporting goods manufacturer. In fact, the Giants went through over a dozen uni designs, most grounded in either red or blue, before arriving at orange and black in 1947. Likewise, Dem Bums didn't start wearing Dodger blue until 1938, and had actually worn green the previous season. So the Mets could easily have inherited another color palette altogether.
The Dodgers and Giants aren't the only teams with surprisingly varied color histories. It's hard to imagine the Pirates, for example, wearing anything but black and gold (just like Pittsburgh's other sports teams), but they actually wore navy and red for the franchise's first half-century, not switching to their current color scheme until 1948. Similarly, the Phillies were primarily navy-based until 1950.
Of course, some clubs, like the Reds and Red Sox, essentially have their colors chosen for them by virtue of their team names. And others, like the Cardinals, Orioles, and Blue Jays, have their colors dictated by ornithological considerations. (Uni Watch confesses a fondness for any analysis involving the word ornithological.) And then there are the Brewers, who actually went to spring training in 1970 as the Seattle Pilots but were sold and moved to Milwaukee a week before Opening Day. With no time to order new uniforms, team officials had to remove the Pilot logos and insignia from the existing unis and replace them with hastily created Brewer graphics. But the Pilots' blue-and-gold trim was left on the sleeves and pants, and these have remained the Brew Crew's hues for most of the team's history.
As for the Mets, their colors honor more than just the Giants and Dodgers. Unbeknownst to most, blue and orange are also the official colors of New York City, which means that on at least one level, the Amazin's are more NYC's team than the Dodgers or Giantsor, for that matter, the Yankeesever were.

Decked Out: BBB® Tips for a Safe & Successful Project
Our days are getting longer and we're anxious to get outside. Thousands just spent the weekend at the Maryland Home and Garden Show. Numerous homeowners were certain to have been inspired by visions of a new deck. Last year, BBB received 45,273 inquiries about Maryland deck builders and 51 complaints.
Sadly, we've all heard far too many stories about deck collapses in recent years. Five were hurt in two separate southern MD deck disasters last summer. Building codes exist for a reason and the safety of friends and family is priority number one. Building a deck is not something to enter into on a whim or with buddies and a case of beer.
Every successful project starts with 1) a solid plan. To begin:
· start with a budget
· know your space including any zoning or homeowner association limitations/requirements
· consider how you want to use your deck
· make a list of features you want to include and prioritize them
· research materials, required maintenance and cost-benefit
Once you've completed the steps above, unless you're an experienced carpenter, it's time to call in the pros. If you collected business cards from a weekend visit to a home show, take a closer look.
· Check for a Maryland Home Improvement Commission license number on the card. Using a licensed contractor protects the homeowner. They'll have insurance and be bonded. To verify that a contractor, subcontractor, or company has a current license, search the Home Improvement Public Query at http://www.dllr.state.md.us/, or call 410-230-6231.
· Go to bbb.org. 1) Look for the Better Business Bureau Accredited Business seal and 2) check the company's history of resolution of any consumer complaints. You can even request appointments for quotes right online.
· Interview several contractors and get quotes. Compare detailed quotes listing scope of work, materials, brand names (if appropriate) and completion dates. Building permits, required by Md. counties and Baltimore City for the construction of a deck, should also be included.
· Talk to friends and neighbors and request recent customer referrals.
· Get everything in writing. Read and understand the contract before signing. Get all verbal promises including warranties of materials and workmanship in writing. List start and completion dates in the contract.
Review the specified payment schedule. MHIC stipulates that a contractor may not request more than one third of total price of the contract up front. Beyond the deposit, the payment schedule is negotiated. Be certain that a portion of the payment, ideally one-third, is reserved until all work is complete.

You're certainly not going to see people at their best in the ED, so if they are a jerk on their best day... I try to keep in mind that they are in pain, or that they're having to watch their loved one in pain, and getting inadequate treatment. I usually will explain that the fewer things on my list that I have to do, the quicker I can get to getting them pain medication, and having to deal with a disruptive patient and husband isn't making my list any shorter.
What sticks out to me though is that the doc is only giving one time pain med orders for a patient with a known kidney stone, I've never known an ED doc to do that and is pretty much guaranteed to inadequately treat the pain. I'd tell the Doc that the patient in bay 12 wants to talk to them about their poor prescribing habits.
Feb 5Quote from HippyDippyLPNThen I'm surprised they let me sign in when the doc is not in the building--that pen could fly out of my hand and land in my carotid artery.You never know though some docs are odd about stuff, it may he a rule he really put in place for his own peace of mind
May 13 '15A question was posted
By whom? You? A faculty member?
The nursing student was given a zero on the assignment, after being reported to faculty, for a hipaa violation/ division policy violation ("posting anything related to clinic on social media") and is facing the possibility of not being allowed to participate in patient care/ have limited access to patient information, during future clinical rotations... pretty stiff penalties, for asking for help.
Aha. It was by you. So even if you didn't do a HIPAA violation, what you did was, in fact, a division policy violation. Don't you think it's a teeny bit disingenuous (look it up) to say, "I didn't even say it was a real patient" when you're trying to finish homework on your clinical day during which you took care of ... a patient? Of course it was related to clinical. Your faculty is not as dumb as you think.
So your question isn't really about HIPAA in this context, is it?
What do you want? You want somebody to tell "the student," by which I think you mean "you," that you were grievously maltreated? You want resources to take to your appeal? What?
Be upfront here, apparently not having gotten the answer you wanted when you posted it before.At this point you want to go to your appeal with abject and very sincere apologies for an unforgivable lapse in judgment, because you did your best to leave off HIPAA-related identifiers but even if you did this successfully you have violated a division policy. You want to make good and sure you convince them that you will never, ever do it again, that you are ashamed of having violated that rule, and you understand how serious it is. Throw yourself on their mercy and then shut up and see what they do, because at that point it will be out of your hands.
Good luck.
Oct 18 '14By motay68 In I only held his hand →
I was assigned a patient tonight in clinical that was getting prepared for emergency surgery. He was in extreme pain and his nurse gave him dilaudid for the first time. I was asked to stay with him while she called the doctor to update him on the status of the patient's condition. He was panting and shaking and kept repeating "I can't breathe."
I started out by trying to reassure him that he was breathing and his O2 stats were perfect. But no change in his condition. I was frustrated (not with him) because I felt like there was nothing I could do to make him feel better and wondered what in the world would convince the nurse to leave me alone with him???? So, out of desperation I sat on the side of his bed, grabbed his hands, made sure he looked in my eyes and had him breathe in and out with me and tried to keep the both of us from panicking (To be honest I needed the breathing as much as he did ). He calmed almost immediately. He squeezed my hands and said simply thank you. He asked me to stay with him until his family got there...... And then it hit me.... He was scared. He was alone. He thought he might be dying. I only held his hand but I helped him feel less afraid. I helped the person, not the assignment. I made a difference. I felt like a nurse.
It was amazing
Sep 26 '14By toomuchbaloney In condom catheters →
As has been pointed out previously, a confused patient who pulls his indwelling foley out is not likely to leave a condom catheter alone either.
You can try a skin prep which helps it to "stick" to the skin of the penis somewhat, however, you DO NOT want to promote any shearing or tearing injuries to that skin.
Why does this fellow require a catheter? Why is the team focusing on a POC that is irritating, agitating, and annoying the patient?
Sep 26 '14
When the caregiver told him I was removing the foley this morning, he looked at me and said "God bless you!"
AWW.. give him a little kiss from me.
Forget the condom cath.. will never work. He is refusing the treatment,, and that's ok. He will continue to pull off the condom cath until the cows come home.Develop a toileting regimen.. use adult briefs as needed.
This is not about condom cath techniques.. this is about solving a problem.

With some surgeries that are expected air leaks. A gentle intermittent bubble indicating that there is air leaking would be expected in this kind of surgery and in a pneumothorax...which is trapped air in the pleural space. As long as the patient is not in distress and subq emphysema isn't present everything is fine.
In the case of open hearts it might be different. Air leaks aren't expected as the lung was not operated on so no leak should be there. The pleural chest tubes are placed for drainage if the internal mammary was used and if the lung was deflated during the operation. The mediastinal chest tubes will also not have air leaks, if the do they will be minor and brief because of course there is mediastinal air when the opened the pericardial sac to perform the bypass.
I was going to type an answer but I remembered GrnTea had a great explanationWhen you breathe in, you're not actually pulling air into your lungs with your muscles. You're actually making a suction inside your chest with them (I know this may seem like a distinction without a difference, but stay with me), and the air enters the lungs thru the route provided for it to do so-- your trachea, via your nose or mouth (or trach tube, if you aren't so lucky).
Your lungs are covered with a slippery membrane called the visceral pleura. The inside of your chest wall has one too, the parietal pleura. They allow the lungs to slip around with chest wall motion, like you can slip two wet glass plates around that are stuck together. Like the two glass plates, they're hard to pry apart due to the surface tension of the wet between them, and that's why the lungs fill the chest cavity and stay there. But just as you can easily pop those glass plates apart if you get a teeny bit of air between them, you can pop the bond between the two pleural layers with air, and if you do, the natural elasticity of the lung will cause it to collapse down to about the size of a goodish grapefruit.
How does the air get in the pleural space where it doesn't belong? Well, you can do it two ways. One is to play rough with the bad boys (or have surgery, which is, after all, only expensive trauma) and have a sharp object puncture your chest wall and admit air into the pleural space. How does it get in there? Well, you make suction in your chest when you breathe in, and now air has TWO routes to get inside your chest-- down the trachea into the lungs, and thru the hole in the chest wall into the pleural space. This is called a pneumothorax, air in the chest that is outside of the lung. The lung will tend to collapse because the surface tension between the wet layers is now interrupted (remember how the pieces of wet glass can be separated by introducing air between them?) and the lungs are naturally elastic.
The other way to get air into your pleural space is from having blebs/bullae on your lung surfaces, and pop one (or more), or have some other hole in your lung (sharp things again, including a WEDGE RESECTION, which leaves holes that can't be sealed until they heal by themselves). Then air gets out of your lungs thru the hole(s) and disrupts that pleural side-to-side thing, and there you go again, a pneumothorax. This, however, is called a TENSION pneumothorax, because that air increases with every exhalation (the lung now having two routes to exhale air out of, the trachea and the hole in the lung itself). This allows the lung to collapse on that side, and soon enough pressure (tension) will develop in that half of the chest to push the chest contents over to the other side, compromising blood flow and air exchange in the other lung & heart when it does so. (This is when you see the "tracheal shift.") This is also a bad thing.
So: now both of these fine folks have bought themselves chest tubes. The guy with the chest wall trauma has had his trauma hole sewed up, so when he takes a deep breath air enters his trachea only. He has a water seal on his chest tube so he can't pull air into his chest thru the tube-- the water seal acts like the bend in your sink drain and prevents continuity of the inside and outside places. The suction on the chest tube setup has done its job of removing the air from the pleural space where it didn't belong--it was seen bubbling out thru the water seal and then couldn't get back in. (When all the air is gone from his pleural space, there will be no more airleak in the water seal compartment.) Now, if he disconnects his Pleurevac (or other copyrighted device), he can again take a deep breath and pull air thru the open tube into his pleural space, where it doesn't belong, collapse his lung, and start all over again. THEREFORE, when this guy disconnects his tube, you clamp it IMMEDIATELY, to prevent air from entering the pleural space. He should ALWAYS have those two big old chest tube clamps taped to his Pleurevac (so they go with him to xray and all), just in case he does this.
However, the other guy, with the ruptured blebs or wedge resection and the intact chest wall? Well, his chest tube is pulling air out of the pleural space, but more is still getting in there since he still has a hole(s) in his lung. The idea of the CT is to pull it out faster than he can put it in, and allow the hole to heal up, at which point he will no longer collect air in his pleural space and be all better. Meanwhile, though, you see air bubbling in the waterseal chamber, showing you that there is still air being pulled out of his pleural space. He has "an air leak." What happens to him if his chest tube gets disconnected?
Well, remember, he still puts air into his pleural space, because there's still a hole in his lung. You put a tube in there to take it out, remember? OK, so what happens if you clamp his tube? Bingo, air reaccumulates in the pleural space all over again, his lung collapses, and things go to hell in a handbasket. This guy should NEVER have clamps at his bedside, because some fool may be tempted to clamp his tube before his airleak seals, and he'll get in trouble all over again. If he pulls his tubing setup apart, have him breathe slowly and shallowly (to minimize the air leaving the hole in his lung and getting trapped in his pleural space) while you quick-like-a-bunny hook him up again to a shiny new sterile setup. But do NOT clamp his tube while your assistant gets it set up for you.

Jul 28 '14I'm a first semester student in an accelerated 2nd degree program.
OK, now that we have some context...
I just generally feel soooo slow!And stupid!The first sim, the "doctor" told us to give our "patient" a 30mg IV dose or morphine. I thought it was high but was prepared to administer it, and then another peer of mine brought it up and we discussed it. She thought it was high too, so we called back and the doc said oops, 10mg not 30mg. So it was a good catch except it wasn't really my catch, since had it not been for my peer I probably would have administered the erroneous dose
I'm willing to be that you'll never in real life be ready to give a morphine dose like that.
SIM goal accomplished.
Second sim, the "patient" was a type 1 diabetic and had just received humalog. It was lunch time and we were also prepping him for a blood transfusion. He kept complaining of being cold, tired and had chills/shakes... For some reason my whole group got hung up on the mind set that he just really needed the transfusion to make him "perk up" rather than the fact that he was experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia from his rapid acting insulin and having refused his lunch! We eventually figured it out and pushed sugars but again, I just felt so slow and stupid. I know the symptoms of hypoglycemia perfectly well and yet I did not connect them, clinically, to my patient.
Should I be concerned that I am being slow and missing somethingis it supposed to take awhile to make clinical connections like this?
i feel like I also get nervous because of the one way mirrors and the professors watching us
The point is, most people don't like SIMs and almost nobody likes to be watched and judged. However, SIMs are supposed to be a safe place to learn... and to make mistakes... all with the "no harm, no foul" caveat.
Practice relaxing and enjoying it... and look for the simple answers before you get hung up in the complicated ones.
Be nice to yourself and stop using the "stupid" moniker anywhere near yourself. I'll make you a deal... you agree to never call yourself stupid and I'll agree to do it for you if it's justified... 'K?
Chill out, go forth, and conquer.

I have a countdown app on my Android phone that includes a home page widget you can set to display however many days until a date of your choosing. My widget has a picture of me with my significant other, David, and it is finally down to double digits for days remaining here in our little corner of Afghanistan!
I can recall when I first put it on my phone, and it was well over 240 days. My original orders for deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) were "not to exceed 284." Ugh.
Every day when I wake up (or after midnight when my widget changes digits, haha), I divide the total by seven to calculate how many weeks I have left here. We're at less than 14 weeks currently (double digits in days!), so my brain automatically rounds down to 13-ish (conveniently for me). I think of it in terms of 13-ish more "civvy Sundays" (days we get to wear civilian clothes), 13-ish more days off (Saturdays for me, once I come off of night shift-there are no days off for night-shifters), 26-ish more Tuesday/Thursday classes taught by my unit peeps, 13-ish more weeks to work out in our amazingly dusty but much beloved gym.
Leaving this place has become a looming reality, and I feel a little bit sad at the prospect. I love what I do here, and I adore my unit (most of them, anyway; you can't love everyone!). One of the sad parts about being PROFIS (i.e., temporarily assigned to the unit only for the deployment) is that once we leave here, I won't see these peeps at home.
I used to think that I would give my eyeteeth to go home early. We used to hope for news that we'd get to leave early; I remember summertime musings of maybe being home before 2014 arrived.
Those were just the idle speculations of people who were trying to get used to an unfamiliar place, who were acutely missing our families and loved ones stateside. We accepted our reality and embraced our role. As odd as this place is, it's become our "home" for now. How strange.
I recently had a very good friend (truly my "sister from another mister," haha) who was inadvertently and unfortunately injured here in country, and she's going home early. Thankfully she's fine, and will heal without a problem.
She and I came into country at the same time, so I know just where she is in her deployment. She is understandably upset about leaving her team. I can completely grasp the complex emotions: the excitement of being back stateside, of seeing our loved ones again, of doing all those things we miss (brushing teeth with tap water, showering barefoot, ordering pizza, etc.), coupled with the longing for the team with which we've endured so much. I'm sure her team has grown and bonded, as has ours, and it's going to be tough to leave the comfort of our brothers and sisters who get it, and get us.
We hear so much about PTSD and what happens when we go home. I wonder if I'll startle easily at loud noises, or if crowded places will overwhelm me, or if the colors and textures of home will just be too much for me at first. I think of the adjustment of getting back to my life, and I crave it and I dread it. I envision it will be similar to adjusting to daylight after being in the dark for so long, and I eagerly anticipate having to squint and shield my eyes against the brightness.

Of course that comatose person is at risk for pneumonia, from stasis alone even c turning q2h. I like the way you think; do what your professor tells you, but keep thinking it out and I think you'll do well.
Ashley: Perfect example. You might be right that the professor wants to discourage the rote "airway is always first" answer; I wish the professor had then gone on to explain why in the way you did. Critical thinking!
Sep 20 '13By Esme12 In ABC's "old school"?! →Quote from Ashley, PICU RNOoooo Ashley....GREAT answer!!!!!I think your instructor is trying to get you to think more deeply about the scenarios. She doesn't want you to just see the word "airway" and automatically choose that option because it's the "A". Yes, airway is absolutely a priority, and assessing it will always be correct (in real life). But in the context of the question, is it your MOST correct response?
Let's see if I can think of an example...
Your 6 year old pediatric patient was admitted for observation after being stung on the neck by a bee while riding her bike 6 hours ago. The patient suffered a broken right radius after falling from the bike. A plaster cast was placed on the right lower arm. Upon assessment, the nurse notes swelling and redness of the neck in the area of the bee sting. The patient reports that her neck "hurts a little" but her arm "hurts a lot". She says it "feels like there are lots of needles poking her fingers and hand". She appears scared, is crying and having a hard time catching her breath. Vital signs are as follows: HR 113 BP 110/69 RR 36 SpO2 95% Ax Temp 98.3 What is the nurse's priority?
1. Administer prescribed pain medication
2. Assess for a patent airway
3. Instruct the patient in relaxation techniques to slow respiratory rate
4. Assess circulation of the extremities
In this example, all of the ABC's are addressed, as well as the 6th vital sign- pain. Every option is correct, but one is the MOST correct, and it's NOT the airway option OR the breathing option. Yes, airway is important. The neck has some swelling, the patient is having a hard time catching her breath. Yes, anaphylaxis is possible with bee stings, but remember it's been 6 hours since the sting. Anaphylaxis onset at this point is extremely unlikely.
Breathing- yes, the respiratory rate is high, and the breathing pattern is labored. Oxygen saturation is slightly decreased for an otherwise healthy child. But WHY are you seeing these symptoms? The patient is in pain and scared. All are expected findings in this situation.
Which brings us to our C- circulation. There's a few clues in this question. 1. The patient is reporting severe pain in the casted extremity. 2. The patient reports a pins and needles sensation in the hands and fingers (not just in the area of the break). These things are suggestive of compartment syndrome- a dangerous complication with serious consequences if left untreated. Assessing the circulation of this extremity compared to other extremities is definitely your priority.
I hope I helped explain why the ABC's aren't always the correct answer, and why it's important to evaluate your options in the context of the question. That being said, with the information provided about the facial trauma and swelling, I probably would have chosen airway as well.
Sep 6 '13
About 4 or 5 months ago I (the PCT, the hired help, that young guy, the guy that looks like he's new, the Per Diem staff) was floated to the Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) for half of a shift. About 3 hours into the shift, the Nurse went into a patient's room to find the pt in cardiac arrest. He came to the doorway and exclaimed ''we're calling a code here people!"
I was directly across the hall and was second in the room as the nurse started the first few compressions. I said "I got compressions", and he moved over and went to grab code cart.
This person was alive just minutes ago. It was surreal. For a few seconds it was just me and this Patient. Alone. I'm doing chest compressions,her ribs weren't cracking or grinding. Everyone tells you that you can feel ribs breaking. At that moment it was just me pushing down with my hands together on the center of this woman's chest. Her body slightly jerking with each compression.
This person was alive just minutes ago. It was surreal. The patient was on a ventilator so we only had to do chest compressions, the breathing was taken care of. In what seemed like ten seconds, there was seven or eight of people in the room.
I see the hand of a nurse sneaking up to place the two electrodes on the patients chest. I remember my CPR instructor telling us, "DO NOT STOP COMPRESSIONS- Let them work around you" so I just kept going, I remember the nurse going to push epinephrine. After two electrical shocks, her heart was now beating again. She had a second chance.
About 20 minutes later I was re-floated back to my normal unit (physical rehab) and finished my shift. I didn't work again for two weeks, during that time I had dreams about this patient, the code, and doing chest compressions.
I knew that we had saved the patient at that time, but after I finished my shift, I had no idea what happened to the patient. This patient may have died the next morning, and I had no way of knowing.
It is fairly common that when someone goes into cardiac arrest once, they are likely to arrest again, and again until their body has nothing left, and then they have died.
The next time I worked, I was on the Progressive Care Unit (PCU), which happens to be right down the hall from CCU. I did a little snooping around to see if this patient was still in the hospital (alive).
I got wind from a CCU nurse that the patient was on PCU (where I was floated to!), so I probed some of the nurses and found out which room the Pt was in. I looked into the room and the patient was in the bed, still on a mechanical ventilator, but skinny as a rail. The patient I remember was big (swollen with fluid). This Patient was in restraints and wasn't coherent. If she patient didn't have a very unique condition / wound wouldn't have believed it was really her.
I thought ''Oh well''. I finished my shift. I have seen countless people on ventilators that will likely never be themselves again, out doing what they love with those they love. It's a part of our profession.
Five months pass and the memory of this patient is gone, sent off to my brain's filing department to be entered into the "Patient's I'll never forget Folder".
My life continues as normal.
Last Monday I'm back on my Physical Rehab unit and am looking through my 4 or 5 Patients' Charts and I see a patient's history with this same unique diagnosis / wound!
I'm thinking ''no Freaking way"
I go into the room and see my Patient, months later is doing well (alive is better than dead right?). The tracheotomy is healed up, the wound has healed, that one amputated toe is still....amputated...
The Patient has no idea who I am, but I know all to much about her. I considered telling her about our history, but I chose not to.
Everyday Nurses help people feel better, get better, deal with their biggest fears and how their life may never be the same. This becomes routine. At the end of the day we know that we have helped people, but we don't FEEL like we've helped people
It wasn't until I saw this patient's progression from being on the cusp of death, to the edge of moving on with her life, that I really understood how we can really make a difference.
And she'll never even know who I am. I don't want special recognition, I don't want hero status or an award. I know in my heart that what we did matters, and that's all a part of nursing.

Two new scams are hitting Albany and the Albany Police Department is spreading the word to help prevent you from becoming a victim.
Police say that one scam has an individual posing as an individual from the Dougherty County Sheriff's Office contacting a person about his taxes and then transferring the victim to somoene posing as a representative from the Federal Crim Investigations Department. This person then demanded that the victim go to the bank and withdraw funds to send money for taxes. Police say to be wary of of people posing as law enforcement requesting that you send money.
The second scam they say you should be on the lookout for involves Craigslist.
The victim found out about a work from home ad on Craigslist and applied. The woman recieved a check in the mail and was told by the culprits to cash it to buy office equipment and was sent an online message from the culprits asking for the remainder of the money back.
Turns out that the check was counterfeit and the bank was able to stop payment on it.
Police say to be careful when applying from "work at home" ads posted on Craigslist.

Fixed PriceBudget: $75
Start DateNovember 22, 2012
We are looking for a talented hand sketcher to create a drawing that will be placed on our website.
There are three files in the attached ZIP file:
1. "What we need.png" - This file shows my drawing of the picture we need. We want a business-looking building (rectangular shaped) on the left hand side with a house directly to the right, and then a bill-board/advertisement above the house. Also, we need a car that has four passengers (two smaller passengers at the back, and two larger (adults) passengers at the front. The car should look like a station wagon, and the four people in the car will look like the car and the people from the "Life board game" (I will describe what this means later in this job description). Please add clouds, and trees to fill in space, and whatever other objects you think will make it look better (e.g.: sidewalk, benches, etc.). The sketch needs to be wide enough to span across a desktop monitor. Below your sketch, the words "Commercial", "Auto", "Life", ... should be equally spaced such that the actual element representing that word is in the area above the word. For example, for the word "Commercial", it refers to the business building, for "Auto" it refers to the car, and for "Life" it refers to the people in the car...
2. "Sample sketches.png" - For all elemenets on the sketch (e.g.: building, house, billboard, car, etc.), please use the same style as the house shown in this image. The type of building that will represent the business building should have windows like what you see on the image (the big square looking one; in the actual sketch it should be a rectangular building). Each element in your sketch should be sized appropriately relative to each other. Thus, you may have to make the building less levels. The car shown in this image shows an example of what I mean when referring to the "Life board game" car. The billboard will have a stock chart line on it. The "Sample sketches.png" image is just a combination of different images I found put together, and gives you an idea of what I'm looking for. Your sketch should be all in black and white (we will need it to be in black ink).
3. "Car.jpg" - This image shows how the people should look like in the car. They are just stick looking figures with a circle head. Use the station wagon style car in the "Sample Sketches.png" image rather than the car style shown in this image.
4. "Position of your sketch on website" - This shows where your sketch will be on our website.
If you are interested in bidding, please bid what you believe is fair (ignore the budget), and somewhere in your bid place the text "I am talented at drawing sketches. I can make this sketch based on the sketch-style shown for the house in the Sample Sketches PNG file." Also, in your bid, make sure to let me know how many days you estimate it will take to complete.
ALSO - if you have any handsketches, please refer to them provide me samples of past work you have done.

The Inheritance of Lossby Kiran Desai
In a crumbling, isolated house at the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas lives an embittered judge who wants only to retire in peace, when his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, arrives on his doorstep. The judge's cook watches over her distractedly, for his thoughts are often on his son, Biju, who is hopscotching from one gritty New York restaurant to another. <P><P> Kiran Desai's brilliant novel, published to huge acclaim, is a story of joy and despair. Her characters face numerous choices that majestically illuminate the consequences of colonialism as it collides with the modern world.<P> Man Booker Prize winner

Copley trustees considering redirecting inside millage
The Copley Township Board of Trustees began a discussion of moving just under 0.5 mill of inside millage from the Road and Bridge Fund to the township's General Fund at the June 4 meeting.
"We need to strengthen the General Fund," said Trustee Helen Humphrys. "We've lost the inheritance tax and, of course, the Local Government Fund has been cut almost 50 percent."
Inheritance taxes formerly yielded $1 million annually on average, and state support of local governments formerly was around $500,000, she added.
The state permits townships to levy up to 10 mills in property taxes without voter approval. Just under 0.5 mill of this "inside" millage currently is assigned to the Road and Bridge Fund, Humphrys said.
The General Fund is healthy and moving the inside millage from the Road and Bridge Fund to the General Fund will keep it that way, Humphrys said. Shifting the millage will direct an additional $232,000 a year to the General Fund, Humphrys said. The Road and Bridge Fund is supported by a levy. Humphrys said she and Service Director Mark Mitchell determined the road and bridge levy adequately supports maintenance and repair. Trustees will continue the discussion at their next meeting.
Trustees noted the township road and bridge levy and fire levy are due to expire at the end of 2014. Trustees agreed to meet in a workshop before the end of July to discuss placing the levies on the ballot.
Also during the meeting, Copley Circle will be spruced up for summer, with trustees approving an $1,800 expenditure to Graf Growers for beautification, landscaping and planting. They also approved $8,900 to defray costs of the 11-week summer concert series at the circle bandstand. The concerts, which began June 8, take place at 7 p.m. each Sunday through Aug. 17. A schedule of bands can be found on the township website, www.copley.oh.us.
Trustees also passed a resolution honoring the Fairlawn-Bath Branch Library on its 50th anniversary. The branch serves Bath, Fairlawn and Copley residents.
In other business, trustees:
- approved a salary increases of $4,500 for Police Chief Michael Mier and Fire Chief Michael Benson. The increases will maintain the salary differential built into the police and fire labor contracts, said Fiscal Officer Janice Marshall;
- agreed to award a three-year contract for electricity to IGS. The township's current contract with FirstEnergy is expiring, said Marshall. The three-year contract will guarantee electricity at $6.59 per kilowatt hour, an increase of nearly $2 per kilowatt hour from the current contract;
- approved a resolution declaring August as Summit Kids Month, at the request of the Summit County Executive's Office;
- issued a $5,925 purchase order to Environmental Design Group for a boundary survey, additional site survey and easement documents for the proposed extension of water lines from the township property on which the new police station is to be constructed east to South Cleveland-Massillon Road;
- approved applying for a wellness grant from the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation. The grant, worth $300 per employee for four years, would reimburse the township for wellness assessments and biometric screenings. The township would be required to institute wellness programs such as a weight loss management club or a walking club, said Marshall;
- had no objection to naming a stream running under Idlebrook Drive. Bath Township requested naming the stream Idle Brook as part of an ongoing project to name all streams in the township;
- approved an agreement for a private fireworks display July 28 on Sugar Road. A professional fireworks company has been hired to manage the display, said Benson;
- declared 864 Wallwood and 1701 Medina Line Road nuisances and ordered the removal of vegetation and/or debris from the properties. The cost of clearing the vegetation on the two unoccupied properties will be assessed to the owners;
- approved the resignations of firefighter/paramedic John Paul Paxton and patrolman William Kettler;
- made a conditional offer of employment as a part-time police officer to Samantha Hose: and
- hired Clemans Nelson and Associates to provide management consulting for labor and human resources issues, Marshall said.
The board's next regular meeting is June 18 at 6 p.m. at Copley Town Hall, located at 1540 S. Cleveland-Massillon Road.

WICHITA FALLS - Memphis coach Pat Yarbrough has looked into the eyes of his players, and he likes what sees prior to his Cyclones' meeting with Ranger in a Region I-1A one-game semifinal playoff at 7 p.m. today at Hoskins Field.
"The ol' kids are still hungry," Yarbrough said. "They definitely are not satisfied. They want to keep going."
Memphis (15-5) rides a six-game winning streak into its second regional semifinal appearance in three years. The 1997 Cyclones were regional finalist in Class 2A.
District 2-1A co-champion Memphis has been impressive during the playoffs. The Cyclones defeated Texline 11-1 in bi-district and hammered Paducah 17-5 in area-round play last Thursday.
Memphis has scored 89 runs in its past six games.
The Cyclones' offense against Paducah was led by Eloy Cervantes, with four RBIs, and Anthony Salinas, with three RBIs.
District 7-1A runner-up Ranger (18-7), meanwhile, swept Ira in a best-of-3 area-round series. Ranger breezed to a pair of 13-3 wins.
"Ranger has no weak links in its lineup," Yarbrough said. "They really can put the ball in play. They make you play in the field, so it will be up to our defense to try and slow them down."
Yarbrough said he will either start Gilbert Garcia or Josh Harrison on the mound today. Both of them worked in the Paducah game.
Memphis' offense has been on fire as of late, averaging 14.8 runs per game. Yarbrough said the offensive leaders have been Harrison, Salinas, Rey Torres and Artie Martinez.
Harrison leads off and has an on-base percentage of nearly .700. Martinez hit a home run in Memphis' win against Paducah.
Memphis is one of two District 2-1A teams remaining in the Region I bracket. Claude, which joined Memphis as 2-1A co-champions, opened its regional semifinal series Monday night.
Yarbrough said the District 2-1A season has benefited his team in the playoffs.
"We saw good pitching, and then teams like Follett can just hit the cover off the ball," Yarbrough said. "That competition has us ready."
Memphis last met Ranger in 1996, also in a regional semifinal game.
Today's winner will play the winner of the Claude-Cross Plains regional semifinal series in the regional finals.

95 Points | Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine
91(+?) Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - January/February 2004
($85) Full medium ruby. Superripe nose is distinctly porty yet bright. Then lush and deep in the mouth, with explosive, superripe flavors of blackberry, black raspberry, licorice and bitter chocolate. Boasts terrific sweetness and depth but distinctly bound-up today, even a bit medicinal. Finishes with powerful but thoroughly ripe tannins. Not now as harmonious as it seemed from barrel, but this may well merit a higher score with bottle aging.

Historical Traveler Reviews Artisan Hotel Memphis
Worst Experience ever!
This hotel needs to be torn down!!!! It is absolutely rediculous! Nasty Nasty Nasty. The wallpaper has this nasty film on it. The carpeting was dirty there was trash left in the rooms. Very unpleasant experience.
Clean rooms, great price
We stayed here for two nights - the staff was very nice, and the rooms were average. It obviously has a little wear and tear (the bathrooms, although very clean, were dated, as mentioned in another person's review), but this did not bother me, as they were spotless. The room itself was very clean. Requests for extra towels were met with promptly, although there were no glasses in the room, and the ice machine on our floor was out of order. There was also duct tape on the back of the remote control (but it did work fine).
I would stay here again, for the reasonable price, cleanliness, and the great location.
We chose the Ramada as everywhere downtown was booked out and situated 3 miles from Beale Street we figured we could taxi in of a night. We arrived at the Ramada and where greated by a very friendly receptionist who quickly checked us in and told us about the "Beautiful hot buffet breakfast" that they serve every morning for $3 each. We then parked our car in the free car park which was well lit and had plenty of spaces. Things were looking good.
When we got to our room it was pretty basic and a bit grim. There was no central air but instead an air conditioning unit at the end of a room which was the size of a small vehicle and just as noisy. We then found cockroaches in our bathroom and quite a lot of grime.
The wonderful breakfast we were promised was the worst we had ever had and so I asked the lady at reception to mention this to the manager the next time she saw him. When I checked out I told the receptionist that the stay was substandard and asked what the manager (Mr Chang) had said about our complaint about breakfast. She said that he had said nothing but nodded his head!!! This place is a dump and Ramada should be jumping all over this place as it is a disgrace to the corporate name. My advice, book into the Peabody and avoid this place like the plague!!
Worst hotel experience ever!
My wife and I made the mistake of spending two nights here. The first room we were given had a clogged sink. I went down to the front desk and tried to explain the problem to the desk attendant, but he apparently understood very little English. He finally asked me "Room dirty?" I tried again to explain that the sink was clogged, but he did not understand. I finally simply said "Yes, room dirty" and he gave me another room. The next room did not have many of the common amenities (washcloths, handtowels, kleenex, paper or plastic cups, coffee). Also, the floor was not clean and the remote control did not work. Consider staying elsewhere when you come to Memphis. I would rather stay outside of the city and deal with the inconvenience of driving into the city then stay here again.
Really enjoyed the Ramada
we stayed here in May for 4 nights. having got ourselves a very reasonable deal off the internet, we were not entirely sure what to expect as it was our very first visit to Memphis. However, from the moment we arrived we encountered nothing but first class service. the young lady on the reception desk was most helpful, and i can honestly say that never in the world have i ever encountered a more polite and friendly level of service from the gentleman who ran the restaurant. he was the very epitome of the famous southern hospitality we had heard so much about.the rooms were clean, comfortable and airy, the swimming pool a welcome haven in the midday heat and the location a mere 5 mins drive from downtown. all in all i would definitely go back here and would have no hesitation about recommending it to others planning a trip to Memphis.
My fianc�e and I stayed at the Ramada Midtown Memphis from 7-22 - 7-25 in 04. For the price and location we thought it was our best bet, unfortunately we were very wrong. Upon pulling into the underground garage, not only was there piles of garbage throughout, there were many random liquor bottles littered about. The lobby was nice (although the restaurant has been permanently closed), but when we arrived in our room and checked the bed, there were literately hundred's of black hairs spread on the white sheets. Not only that, one of the two elevators was out of order, the pool was dirty, and our bathroom was an atrocity. Also, a day before we checked out, our keys stopped working. We got them re-magnetized, but with no apology. To top it all off, I went to the lobby vending machine and bought a lemonade, but wouldn't you know it, out came a Hawaiian Punch. As far as the location, it's much too far to travel downtown without your own automobile. I will never stay there again.
Hung Out To Dry
Our 2 night stay at this hotel was substandard. We checked in around 3PM, with a most pleasant desk staff, but upon inspection of our room, there were No towels, only one washcloth. We called the front desk, and they stated they'd send up towels as soon as possible. We then left and came back around 10:30, but still No Towels! After requesting towels several times, once having to go down into the lobby, we finally got 2 towels.
Day 2, came back to room, bed is made, new bars of soap, etc., but still No Towels. Now, they've even taken the washcloth!!! Now, we want to go to the pool. Ha Ha We called the front desk again, and explained our situation again, and finally, the manager Roger Chang, pulls a couple of scrawny pool towels out and said "Extra, Extra, everybody want Extra". But we said, we don't want Extra, we just want towels to begin with.
So we take our pool towels down to the pool, and to our surprise, and when we walk into the pool area, there's a plastic deck table floating in the deep end of the pool. The life preserver is not on the wall where it should be, it's laying on the ground in the corner. Then when trying to get in the pool, the top rung to the latter is hanging on at one end and a definate hazard. Along the side of the pool at the top, about 4 feet of tile were missing. So, needless to say, we didn't go swiimming in the Cold pool, so we saved the towels for the following morning.
All vending machines, 2 in the pool area, were unlocked, open and empty as out of service. There were vending machines on floors 4 and 6, but one didn't except a bill as if it was broken.
The security lock on the door was broken as if the piece along the door was ripped off.
We stayed on the 5th floor, and all the windows open which could be a potential dangerous situation if you have young children. Elevators are also extremely slow, stopping at every floor whether anyone is there or not.
Chances of us staying at a Ramada Inn anywhere are slim to none.
Good location
We stayed in a room with a king bed on the 7th floor. I was a little worried by the looks of the exterior but when we got into our room I was very pleased. It was very clean & more than enough room for myself & my husband with a sitting area & desk. My only complaint is that the bathroom was small & dingy. You could tell that it was clean but it looked really dated. Don't be surprized by the super hard water & weak water pressure in the shower either. Ample parking in the secure parking garage. The staff was also friendly & helpful. We didn't swim but the pool looked frighting- I would avoid it at all costs!!!
The location is great! Take Union west straight down to Beale ST. & Sun studios. Within walking distance of neighborhood eateries like Blue Monkey (great for live music & pizza) or Republic coffee (if you are anti-starbucks like we are) both are located 2 blocks north & 4 blocks south on Madison. It is also close to Ardent studios (also on Madison- across from republic coffee) so you can stand outside & bask in the rock n' roll greatness of Big Star & REM. It is also across the street from a Walgreens, starbucks, IHOP, pizza hut & outback but I suggest walking down Madison & soaking up the true Memphis atmosphere.
More than satisfied.
My fiancee and I had a wonderful time staying at the Ramada Inn Midtown. The elevators were spotless. The hotel smelled crisp and clean. Our room was beyond our expectations: brand new television sets, new linen, new towels, coffee maker. In fact, we were so pleased with the service and accommodations, we made reservations to stay there for our partial honeymoon.
Below mediocre
Entering the hotel we encountered a dank musty odor that didn't diminish during our 3 day stay. The service desk personnel were pleasant enough but didn't know directions to well known tourist areas ( ie: Overton Square, which is only 2 blocks away! ) The rooms were standard and clean but we were dismayed upon returning from a day of touring to find the housekeeping staff had RE-FOLDED our wet towels that we had left on the floor that morning and expected us to believe that they were fresh towels! Also, the plastic keys we were given took numerous times to work when attempting to enter our room. All in all not a great experience. The hotel restaurant and bar were closed also; we were told because of a name change and new licensing. Our daughter just started law school at U of Memphis and we will be visiting the area several times a year. Guess we will have to look for more suitable accomodations!

This monograph is interesting and instructive. The subject is well presented and in proper sequence. It emphasizes congenital defects of the extremities. The illustrations are well chosen and well executed. There are many family charts given. The bibliography is complete so far as the German literature is concerned, but other European writers are scarcely mentioned. Almost no American writers are referred to, and one is surprised to note the omission of such names as Legg, Freiberg and Osgood in the discussion of conditions originally described by these men.

Good Morning! - Poem by Geetha Jayakumar
Each virgin of sun rays
Touching me
And telling me
A new day have begun
Wishing me a pleasant morning
And asking me to spread
The brightness of life
Where ever you go!
Words are like butterflies
They are kissing me
And wishing me
The day had began
With new enthusiasm
Keep this flowing all over
Where ever you go!
Each buds turning to flower
Giving me a hope of life
That I have to do something
Each day
To make at least one smile.
And each day an important one.
Each new leaves telling me
You have come with closed fists
Open it up
And give meaningful to life
Thereby making others life meaningful too.
Yes, am on way
How can I forget
Each and everyone
Telling me to do something
Which had value in it
Make others life a meaningful
And spread the light of happiness and peace
Where ever I go!
Have a pleasant morning with
Brewing hot coffee
Or my favourite tea but lot of spices in it..
Good morning!

Brown Breaks School Diving Record At Thomas Murphy Invitational
Nov. 1, 2013
BALTIMORE - Loyola University Maryland senior Mike Brown shattered his own school record in 3-meter diving on the first day of the Thomas Murphy Invitational Friday night at the Mangione Pool in the Fitness and Aquatics Center.
Brown led the Greyhounds to a sweep of the event, finishing with a score of 299.40 to better his previous school record of 275.03 from 2011. Teammates freshman Noel Theroux and sophomore Ryan Conley finished second and third, respectively. Theroux collected 276.00 points and Conley finished with 221.40.
Loyola also had three individuals and two relay teams claim victories tonight. Senior Caitlin Cronin won her second 50 free title of the season, touching first in 24.44, while Mixa won her second 1-meter diving event of the year. Mixa finished with 251.31 points, while classmate Victoria Arturi was second (221.16) and freshman Kelsey Schlein was third with 203.02 points.
Freshman Becca Meyers rounded out the individual winners, claiming the 500 free with a time of 5:08.23. Senior Erin Calderoni touched third in 5:13.96. On the men's side, freshman Aidan O'Hara completed the event in 4:47.38 to finish runner-up.
In the 50 free, junior Ruslan Kopunek was second in 21.23, while freshman Tara Mulligan was third in the 200 IM with a time of 2:14.44.
In relay events, the women's 400 medley and 800 free relay teams were victorious. The quartet of sophomore Elizabeth McKenna, freshman Courtney Kenyon, senior Erin Shea and Cronin combined for a winning time of 3:57.09 in the 400 medley relay, while Shea and Cronin also teamed up with junior Brianna Keelan and junior Erin Calderoni to win the 800 free relay in 7:47.74.
On the men's side, the 400 medley relay team of O'Hara, freshman Dale Maholage, sophomore Rich Mueller and Kopunek combined for a time of 3:34.04 and a second-place finish.

What happens when America's food banks embrace free-market economics?
Feeding America is a network of food banks that feeds more than 46 million people. In 2005, four professors at the University of Chicago helped replace their centralized distribution system with an auction-based one, allocating "shares" to each bank to bid on donated food.

♫ Corn Wars/if they should scorn wars/please let these Corn Wars stay ♫
Corn Wars: The farm-by-farm fight between China and the United States to dominate the global food supply. The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI now contend, in effect, that the theft of genetically modified corn technology is as credible a threat to national security as the spread to nation-states of the technology necessary to deliver and detonate nuclear warheads. Disturbingly, they may be right. As the global population continues to climb and climate change makes arable soil and water for irrigation ever more scarce, the world's next superpower will be determined not just by which country has the most military might but also, and more importantly, by its mastery of the technology required to produce large quantities of food.

Once upon a time, consumption meant you were thin and sick
How America Is Making the Whole World Fat and Unhealthy It is hardly news that the United States faces epidemic health problems linked to poor diets. Nearly two out of every five Americans are obese. But according to a press release from the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Olivier de Schutter, "The West is now exporting diabetes and heart disease to developing countries, along with the processed foods that line the shelves of global supermarkets. By 2030, more than 5 million people will die each year before the age of 60 from non-communicable diseases linked to diets." [...] De Schutter, whose work usually focuses on ending hunger, just published a new report saying, "The right to food cannot be reduced to a right not to starve. It is an inclusive right to an adequate diet providing all the nutritional elements an individual requires to live a healthy and active life, and the means to access them."

Operation Pancake
An expose of non-vegan ingredients in pancakes at LA Vegan Thai inspired the QuarryGirl.Com writers to conduct their own extremely thorough investigation of LA vegan restaurants, testing their meals for traces of casein, egg, and shellfish. Over $1000 and a chain of interviews up to Taiwan later, they find that half the restaurants aren't as vegan as they claim, with half registering Positive or High and one registering Overload. Some restaurants vowed to conduct their own tests or requested further assistance; one banned them from the establishment.

After reading that beef has been recalled from my local grocery store, I spent some time reading Mad Cow USA a book written back in 1997 but not widely published because of fears of repercussions under the Texas food disparagement act. AlterNet has an article written by one of the book's authors summarizing some of the key points of the book. Some claim that only ground beef is infected, while others claim that's bull. mad-cow.org has a lot of good information on the topic, and it seems the powers that be are going to blame Canada.
