Glad nothing happened and that you were armed just in case. Serves a good reminder to ALWAYS carry. Thanks for the reminder.
This is a discussion on Why you have to carry EVERY day: My incident tonight. within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; well tonight i was going to my lab for a class im taking at the community college, i get there to find out the lab ...
well tonight i was going to my lab for a class im taking at the community college, i get there to find out the lab had been cancelled so i hopped back in my truck and began my drive home.
The area my school is in is not exactly the best area of town. literally the wrong side of the tracks. it is a low income area with a couple projects and every business and most house windows have bars on them.
As always when i go out there at night i was carrying my G23 and a reload in a crossbreed quiktuck
And so as im driving along the back end gets loose and what do you know i have a serious flat, not a leak a flat. there is a 1x3" piece of metal sticking out of my tire. so i slow down and drive closer to the main road in the area where it is a bit more lighted b/c i wasnt about to stop in the pitch black where i was
so i end up getting my tire changed and making it back home unscathed but in the 30 min of so i was stopped i had 5 different individuals approach me while laying/sitting on the ground. any one of them could have easily taken advantage of my situation. and the best part about it? not a single leo drove by. not 5 min down the road the area is crawling with cops and im by myself on the wrong side of town at 9 o clock at night. had i not been carrying i probably would have been pretty damn uneasy the entire time, if not called the police to come hang out while i changed the tire. but the feeling of security i have when im armed put my nerves at ease
i learned two things:
1. ALWAYS carry (flat tire theory as i will now call it)
2. Never count on an leo to be there to protect you. (no malice intended, you guys cant be everywhere)

I'm glad everything worked out for you.
Just curious, how did you manage your weapon regarding the school campus?
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
Glad everything worked out and you were prepared.
You could have summoned a cop via cell phone (if you had one) and asked them to come and keep watch.
I know that they would do so around my town.
Alabama law allows a gun in the car as long as it stays there if I recall from my days living in mobile. In fact, Alabama law is written in such a way that technically carrying a gun on school campus is legal. The law says no one shall carry a gun onto a school campus with ill intent. (paraphrasing of course) so as long as you have no ill intent, you are legal. There was a father who was arrested for carrying his gun on him on the campus of an Elementary School in Mobile county back in the 90's and his case was dropped or he was found not guilty because of this technicality. he argued he was just there to pick up his son, he had no ill intent.
That was over a decade ago, so the laws could surely have been changed by now, but that was an interesting case.

how does one change a tire while lying on the ground?

Thanks OP, it gives us another scenario to think about.
ETA: To OP, I'm glad you're OK and all ended well....but as a Penn State fan I would have kinda liked to hear a happier ending....sorta like: Uncle Nick stopped and tried to mug you. You had to shoot him and forever ruined Alabama's chances of thumping my Nittany Lions again.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
The reason I keep aaa, I will sit in my secure car and let them do the work.

Well, if I could tell when I'd need to be carrying...I just wouldn't go there in the first place! Glad yours turned out ok. I had a friend who I believe was in the same area a while back, and I'm betting it hasn't gotten any better in the intervening years.
i normally dont carry to the main campus bc there are multiple local leos there at all times but whenever i am at the satellite campus i am armed.

Healing Depression and Anxiety
In Buddhist psychology, unhappiness is viewed as a symptom of the afflictive emotions, and the root of these is the distorted way we conceive of ourselves. By recognising and developing a realistic appreciation of our innate human qualities, we will naturally be able to overcome our fears and become happier.

The Gorman-Rupp Company designs, manufactures and sells pumps and pumping systems for use in water, wastewater, construction, industrial, petroleum, original equipment, agriculture, fire protection, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC), military and other liquid-handling applications.
The Gorman-Rupp Company was founded in 1933 during the worst depression in U.S. history. It was during this year that J.C. Gorman and H.E. Rupp, two entrepreneurs from Mansfield, Ohio, pooled $1,500 – along with other considerable talents and fortitude – and began a pump manufacturing business within the walls of a barn on the outskirts of town. They introduced a pump which had a "non-clogging" feature. Their competitors didn't believe them, and said as much in a savage public awareness campaign, claiming the new pump would not work. This campaign to discredit the new design resulted in about $100,000 worth of "free advertising" for the young company and at least one customer was ready to take them up on their claim. National Ice Company purchased the first pump. It worked perfectly, with its capabilities outperforming any other self-priming centrifugal pump previously invented.
In an industry that lacked a clear market leader, Gorman and Rupp saw an opportunity to excel, establishing their new company upon a mission statement that dictated it would "enter a field of pumping service only when able to provide superior products with better performance."
During the next couple of years, operations moved from the barn on the outskirts of town into a small factory in the city. As well as investing in larger facilities to continue expanding their growth, Gorman and Rupp had the heart, empathy, and — ultimately — the wisdom to invest in their growing number of employees.
By 1942, the new facility was completely outfitted for use by the Company. And while production charged ahead, Herb Rupp continued to experiment with adaptations to keep increasing the size, amount and nature of debris to be handled by the pumps.
During the difficult wartime years, Gorman-Rupp was honored to receive the prestigious "Army-Navy E Award." Only 5 percent of the manufacturing plants in the nation received this award, which was based on adherence to stringent eligibility requirements including excellence in quality and quantity of production, overcoming production obstacles, a low rate of absenteeism and avoidance of work stoppages. The housing boom after the war saw Gorman-Rupp pumps removing the standing water from excavations all across the nation. Using innovative designs, the Gorman-Rupp team created the first commercially available solids-handling trash pump to respond to contractor's need for a pump to withstand the considerable rigors of pumping out septic tanks, cesspools and outhouses which were laden with trash. It was a revolutionary development.
Next came an improved line of diaphragm pumps which boasted a 400 percent increase in pumping efficiency at half the weight; pumps sold to appliance manufacturers for use in dishwashers; and pumps capable of moving 1,000 gallons of water per minute to enormous irrigation sprinklers.
Today, the Company that began on a handshake, a principle of superior product performance and $1,500 (all the original equity that has ever been put into the Company), boasts a history of innovation, improvement and quality.
The original barn has grown to a total of more than one million square feet of manufacturing and warehousing in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Gorman-Rupp manufactures more than 4,000 models of pumps. Today, Gorman-Rupp is a publicly traded company on the NYSE Amex Exchange under the symbol GRC.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Kathy Trifeletti and Alicia Martinez sat in the back of a car outside their neighbor Kay Colt's house on Friday, since they couldn't sit inside. The house, like many others in this neighborhood in Staten Island's Midland Beach, is a small bungalow, and it was ravaged by the storm, which flooded the whole first floor up to the ceiling and destroyed most of their belongings.
"It was like a tidal wave," said Trifeletti. She said her brother, who also lives in the neighborhood, had spent ten hours clinging to wooden boards in his attic, waiting for the floodwaters to subside in his house.
Hardly anyone had evacuated. "A lot of the families live close together, so where are you gonna go? Next door?" said Martinez. "We're all in the same boat anyway." Plus, "People who live here they live paycheck to paycheck," said Trifeletti, "and they didn't want anybody stealing their stuff."
"There's a lot of tragedy around here," Colt said, her clothes covered in the mud that now coats every inch of her house.
The southeastern shore of Staten Island didn't burn to the ground like Breezy Point or face the same kind of epic devastation as Sea Gate. But it was damaged as badly as any part of the city that is still standing. And residents here were particularly unprepared for a hurricane. Many don't have flood insurance. Many didn't take Sandy seriously because they had weathered Hurricane Irene. And many had nowhere to go in a tight-knit neighborhood where extended families — Polish and Italian-American, mostly — live down the block from each other.
They're now digging out from under a disaster that the area was ill-equipped to handle in the first place, and boiling with rage at the city and federal agencies they believe have forgotten about them as more glamorous parts of New York City — and many places in New York are more glamorous than the South Shore — recover.
"Staten Island is being forgotten, I feel like," said Tracy Lotz, 38, through tears. "As usual."
Lotz, wearing a New Dorp High School sweatshirt and hat, stood on the front lawn of the duplex where she lives next to her parents. Her brother lives the next street over. All the possessions from the downstairs of the house were sitting on the lawn as the Lotzes tried to salvage their house, a scenario that repeated itself all over Midland and New Dorp Beach on Friday.
"Nobody realizes the damage," Lotz said, "New Dorp Beach is gone. We're lucky, we still have a house to live in."
Comparatively, though they lost most of their possessions, the Lotzes are lucky. At
east they haven't been robbed, like the family next door, whose jewelry was taken.
Looting is becoming an issue, with rumors of people dressing up like firefighters in order to get inside people's houses and rob them. Down the block, a house had come unmoored from its foundation and had tilted on its side.
"I'm just very upset about the generators going over there to help the marathon people," Lotz said, echoing a common complaint among Staten Islanders about the upcoming New York City Marathon, which the city finally moved to cancel hours later. "How could they do that to us?"
Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis, who represents the area, was making the rounds of the neighborhood, telling residents that she was setting up a clothing distribution truck at 12:30.
"To take away one resource away from the people of Staten Island and this devastation, to oversee a stupid marathon is — quite frankly that's it," Malliotakis said. "I have no respect for our mayor anymore."
"Every elected official in Staten Island has asked the mayor to not conduct this marathon," Malliotakis said.
Bloomberg had insisted that the marathon will go on, saying in a Friday press conference that "New York has to show that we are here and we're going to recover, and that we can, while we help people, still help companies that need the business, still generate a tax base so we have the resources to help people."
The city and race organizers finally reversed themselves and canceled the event Friday afternoon, in the face of the rage of everyone from News Corp. chieftan Rupert Murdoch to Staten Islanders like Toni Russo, who spoke for many of her neighbors while driving through the neighborhood looking for water with her daughter Geri Flynn and Flynn's 2-year-old daughter Olivia: "Mayor Mike should get his head out of his ass."
But it's not just about the marathon. It's a long-held feeling in the borough of being forgotten, excluded, and that it's gotten worse in Bloomberg's New York.
"I'm angry that the mayor isn't here feeling our pain," said Russo.
The pain includes a lack of running water, electricity, gas, and cell service. The city, along with the National Guard and FEMA, had set up a distribution station where people could charge their cell phones and pick up food and water, but most people in the neighborhood didn't seem to know about it.
"There's been no communication," said Flynn. She and her mother had waited two hours for their FEMA appointment and had finally left because no one showed.
FEMA's presence is crucial to the people here who don't have flood insurance, who are many. Joe Ambroso, a CPA, and his wife Janet, for example, have found that their condo association isn't covering flood damage.
"If a car drove into my house I'd be covered, but not a flood," Joe said. He fought back tears.
"I feel like we're living in a third-world country," said Janet.
Zoya Koreleva and her husband Louie, from the Ukraine but residents of Staten Island for 12 years, didn't have flood insurance either.
"FEMA should come in, we have an appointment, but they're not here yet," Koreleva said. "We don't have insurance though — the bank didn't require us to have flood insurance. The bank didn't require it before 2007."
Since their house is all but destroyed and their family lives with them, the Korelevas have been sleeping on the floor of their babysitter's house in Brooklyn. Zoya's medical office in Far Rockaway — she is a family practicioner — was also destroyed.
"We lost everything," Louie said.
Over the course of a few hours, the National Guard could be seen going up and down the streets handing out food and water, and two Red Cross trucks drove around. A few FEMA representatives seemed to be on hand.
But most of all, neighbors were depending on each other for help. Regular people from other towns were driving through with supplies, like two women from Annendale who had a huge bag of clothes and packages of water in the back of their car, and were handing it out to people in need.
"People have been coming around with food, coming around with cars asking if we need hot meals and sandwiches," said Kay Colt. "Not no Red Cross, no Salvation Army."
"We're just lucky to be alive."

A century in five minutes!

The fandom minute: L/M on Etsy, Star Wars car culture, 70's school stuff, Palpy's plummet, and cake!
There really is something for everyone on Etsy. I'm prepping a few posts for next week, and I ran across a Luke and Mara Wedding cake topper. (What a post-ROTJ EU pairing has to do with The Clone Wars I have no idea.) The seller, Hildoom, also has a Yoda Birthday Cake topper for sale.
Cars. Jalopnik is on something of a streak, exploring the hot rod culture of Star Wars and likening the ABT Audi R8 V10 to something that "Anakin's coke dealer" would drive.
Back to school. StarWars.com takes a look back at the 70's with retro class cear from Helix.
Lists. Palpatine makes #1 on Sci-Fi Squad's top ten sci-fi deaths.
Cakes. A neat Millenium Falcon by Da Bombe Desserts.
If only… io9 suggests swapping the writing staffs of The Clone Wars and the The Venture Brothers, which may be the only way to get me to cheerfully watch the former.
It came from the 80's and it wants revenge: Droids and Ewoks cartoon merchandising
StarWars.com unearths some European gems from the twilight of original Star Wars mania… The Droids and Ewoks cartoons. Some, like the stuffed Ewoks above, are kind of terrifying. I'm pretty sure that guy on the right is sizing up that poor girl's skull for his percussion kit.
The fandom minute: Dixie Cups, Jackson's collection, fan art, Conan O'Brien, Yoda's self-help debut
Collecting. Star Wars Dixie Cups of yore. Or, get a virtual tour of Michael Jackson's game room/collection gallery, which includes some great Star Wars stuff.
Fan Art. Tom Whalen's stylized Return of the Jedi poster.
TV. Conan O'Brien jokes about the Vader toaster. I'm just relieved that someone else is underwhelmed by it.
Jedi, heal thyself. Only What You Take With You: Paths to confronting your fears, battling your demons and fufilling your potential.
Retro horrors of unintentional hilarity: 1977 Tiger Beat says Hans Solo who?
This 1977 Tiger Beat feature (preserved for the ages by Stuck in the 70's) is disturbingly squeeful… My question is, how the hell does one get 'horse' from Chewbacca? (via)
What was a '70s Star Wars fangirl to do?
Other than collect action figures?
StarWars.com's Pete Vilmur takes a look at the horrific girl-oriented merchandise of the 70's. Sadly, things haven't improved that much in 30 years. (Well, the dolls are nicer, but good luck finding a female one.)
Etsy scavenger: I find your Star Wars bathroom set… Kind of awesome, actually
Of all the things I've come to expect on Etsy, a complete bathroom theme set has to be the most surprising… Yet completely natural. The only thing I should really be shocked at is that they haven't apparently made a liscensed one yet. (Or have they?)
We've seen bedroom gear and dishware (The Phantom Menace ones were better) but bathroom products? Suddenly I'm seeing a new use for my Darth Vader pimp cup. [Vintage Star Wars Bath Sets by Greatful Thread, $165.]
(Check back later today for more Etsy gems!)
Fads? Star Wars? You don't say!
There is some seriously crazy stuff in StarWars.com's look at faddish Star Wars merchandise: My favorite is the Luke Skywalker Member's Only jacket. I swear if I didn't actually remember the pogs and holograms and foil promo cards I would write the whole post off as April Fools…
Mad predicted prequel tidbits… in 1982?!?
Flickr user DrHaggis has unearthed a Mad article from 1982 that makes predictions for the saga. There are several coincidences with the actual prequels – Episode II as Send in the Clones, a Skywalker being fathered by the force, Yoda defending Kashyyyk, Darth Vader as the father of Threepio, and Artoo knowing the full story of how the Jedi were disbanded (and "holding the entire history of the Galaxy in his memory banks," which I believe is pretty damn close to the Georgefax.)
And yet, not a single attempt at Return of the Jedi…
Got a couple thousand bucks laying around? Why not buy back your childhood?
Yes ladies and gentlemen, for a mere $3,500, a
complete set of original trilogy Kenner figures could be yours. Or, you could spend it on something legitimately cool. (Personally, I'd go for a really sweet Mac. And maybe a print of the Kenners.) Your choice. (via)

Improving the Quality of Hospital Care
The Foundation's program, Improving the Quality of Hospital Care, was designed to help individual hospitals develop the means to identify and address problems in the quality of patient care.This is a grant to develop a consortium of nine public hospitals in California, represented by the Public Hospital Institute (a research subsidiary of California Association of Public Hospitals). A resource center will be developed at the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. The project objectives are: (1) share information regarding quality assurance and improvement activities within the consortium; (2) draw in new information for consortium members on quality improvement methods; (3) respond to consortium members' requests for information and for support on quality assurance; and (4) develop and conduct two innovative demonstration projects in consortium hospitals. The expected outcomes are an operational consortium with a resource center serving the needs of member hospitals and a detailed plan for consortium members to work collectively and individually to improve quality of care.

Talk to your doctor about using methadone safely.Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).Older adults may be more sensitive to the effects of this drug, especially confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, slow/shallow breathing, and QT prolongation (see above).Before using this medication, women of childbearing age should talk with their doctor(s) about the risks and benefits. Pregnancy may affect the amount of this drug in your body, so tell your doctor if you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant. During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. It may slightly increase the risk of birth defects if used during the first two months of pregnancy. Also, using it for a long time or in high doses near the expected delivery date may harm the unborn baby. To lessen the risk, use the smallest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Tell the doctor right away if you notice any symptoms in your newborn baby such as slow/shallow breathing, irritability, abnormal/persistent crying, vomiting, or diarrhea.This drug passes into breast milk and may rarely have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Tell the doctor immediately if your baby develops unusual sleepiness, difficulty feeding, or trouble breathing. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding or if you plan to stop breast-feeding.

By Chris Harris
Five 0-0 draws, no wins and only three goals on the road. It's probably safe to say that Fulham won't be particularly expansive at Emirates Stadium this weekend.
They have performed admirably this season, seeing off Arsenal and seven other sides at Craven Cottage to climb to eighth place in the Premier League table. But when Roy Hodgson's side leave the confines of west London, they retreat into their shells.
To find out why, we spoke to regular Fulham watcher Paul Warburton of the Kensington and Chelsea News. Read on for his take on Fulham's season so far, the January departure of Jimmy Bullard, the unsung heroes in Hodgson's squad and the all-too-predictable tactical approach on their travels.
They have been stronger, certainly in defence. Roy Hodgson is a cautious kind of manager, some might say conservative even, but in that conservatism has come a fairly pragmatic manager who spends a lot of time working on the defence and it shows. Five 0-0 draws away from home tells you that Fulham don't concede too many. The downside of that is that they don't score too many either on the road. With only three goals to their credit, draws really are the order of the day. They are probably the first team crossed on pools coupons for those people who still do them.
It's difficult to know if Roy Hodgson is underrated. People have spoken warmly about him both now and in the past. Usually the word which goes in front of his name is 'experienced' and at 61 he has been around the block a few times. He has managed national teams, Premier League teams, teams in Sweden, teams in Italy, so he brings a lot of experience. I suspect that because he's at Fulham he doesn't get quite the same publicity as Arsène Wenger, Sir Alex Ferguson and Rafael Benitez do.
They have won eight at home but none away. Why? I wish I knew and so do about 25,000 Fulham fans who regularly turn up. If you could find the answer I am sure that Roy Hodgson would like to hear from you. But the long and the short of it is that it is probably a mental thing in the end because as you rightly point out they are not bad at home - they beat Arsenal as we both know back in August. Knocking over teams doesn't seem to be a problem at Craven Cottage but away from home it has become an issue and it became an issue almost on the very first day when played Hull away and were expected to beat them but missed sitter after sitter. In the end they lost and that gets ingrained after a while. But Fulham are dogged and determined and if they can get over the mental barrier of being away they might get a few wins. So if Arsenal want to put that mural from the early 1990s up and make it look like the Cottage at one end, that might make Fulham feel at home!
People will miss Jimmy Bullard but he wouldn't be playing anyway because the injury he sustained, the aggravation to that knee problem, means he will miss the rest of the season. I would suggest that Jimmy Bullard was a great player and a good servant for Fulham but if you want my honest opinion there are others who were just as good and just as important in getting Fulham to where they were before he left. A lot was made of Jimmy's squad call-ups for England but there were others who deserve credit too.
Fulham have no obvious stars, although perhaps Andy Johnson comes close, but the sum of their parts is far better than the individual components. Danny Murphy is a typical example of that - he is hard-working, very industrious and very important to keeping the shape and keeping the game going and the passing movement that Fulham want to employ. He's not a 'hero' but he is one of those players who was just as important as Bullard. Brede Hangeland was linked with a number of clubs in the transfer window and he has come on in leaps and bounds. He is a classy centre half and Arsenal might remember him because of course he scored the winner against them in August.
I think we had better race each other down the betting shop and back a 0-0 draw! It is staring you in the face isn't it? Fulham play practically the same way every single game. They move the ball around, they have a very stiff resilience at the back, they tend to employ one up front away from home with one dropping in 'the hole', but occasionally they play with two strikers. They don't change it much. If you look at the Fulham centre halves this season, I would think that in terms of fewest players used, they are probably in the top three in the Premier League.
I think they have been unlucky. They seem to pick up an injury every 20 minutes and poor old Arsenal seem to be up against it in that regard. I have a soft spot for them and I just feel that when they need that bit of luck with injuries they seem to get another one. But they keep plugging away and, this is just an outsider's view you understand, but something tells me that, having stepped up a gear for the Champions League on Tuesday, I wonder whether the priority of a Champions League Final and maybe a win there has overstepped the need to win the Premier League title.

Calls for Better Evacuation Plans for the Infirm
Thousands of residents from nursing homes and other long-term care institutions were displaced by Sandy, and hundreds still remain in temporary housing.
As state panels prepare final recommendations for improving disaster preparedness, advocates and experts point to a series of failures in evacuating and housing some of society's most vulnerable citizens.
"Although most people ultimately did okay, there was a tremendous amount of confusion," said Dr. Irwin Redlener, head of the National Disaster Preparedness Center at Columbia University.
"There were a lot of lessons to be learned after Sandy," he said of evacuation and relocation efforts. "But I was surprised we hadn't already learned how to do this more effectively."
Gov. Andrew Cuomo appointed Redlener to co-lead a panel to improve New York's emergency response efforts. A preliminary report was released last month, and he said final recommendations will be published soon.
When Sandy was approaching, Cuomo administration officials, together with those in New York City, initially decided that people in long-term care residences in the city's storm-prone areas should "shelter in place," rather than relocate to other facilities -- despite a general evacuation order for those areas. The risk to residents, many of whom are elderly, mentally ill or physically disabled, was deemed greater from moving than from staying put.
Only New York City made this calculus. Authorities decided to evacuate residential institutions in the vulnerable areas of New Jersey and Nassau and Suffolk counties.
After flooding caused greater damage than anticipated and it became apparent facilities were unable to operate, the city and state evacuated residents to a range of places. Some went to comparable facilities inland, which led to temporary crowding. Others went to group shelters and other settings.
"We had contracts with a number of other homes to relocate residents, but they were all in the same situation we were," said Michael Friedman, administrator for Belle Harbor Manor, an adult home for 160 relatively independent mentally ill and physically disabled residents in the Rockaways. "The evacuation plans are for individual places. They don't work well for mass evacuations, if everyone's hit all at once."
Dr. Thomas Farley, the city's Health commissioner, echoed the sentiment during a recent City Council hearing.
"There wasn't a great delay in finding beds for hospital [patients]. There was enough spare capacity in the system," he said. "But it was much more work and difficulty in finding beds for chronic care facilities. The nursing home industry tends to run much closer to 100-percent capacity."
Belle Harbor Manor residents were transferred multiple times before returning to their renovated facility last week. They spent three weeks with hundreds of other evacuees at the Park Slope Armory, and then were moved to the Kings Hotel in East New York for another three weeks, before being settled into Milestone, a privately managed residence for the mentally ill on the grounds of Creedmoor, a state psychiatric facility in northern Queens. They stayed there for a little more than two months.
The weakness of existing regional evacuation efforts has been highlighted in reports going back many years. In 2006, following Hurricane Katrina, the state Assembly's Committee on Corporations, Authorities, and Commissions studied New York's plans for a similar event. The report found the evacuation plans residential institutions submit to the state often aren't detailed enough – and, even if they were better, the state is not equipped for numerous homes evacuating at once.
Former Assemblyman Richard Brodsky, the Committee chairman at the time, said despite the critique, he was never able to persuade state officials to change anything.
"There's no real political energy behind prevention," he said. "In the age of television and electronic media, it turns out that there's much more political sex appeal standing in command and control centers issuing orders, than there is spending the time, months and years before disasters, investing in things."
Joseph Donchess, executive director of the Louisiana Nursing Home Association, had been helping facilities develop emergency prepared plans in the hurricane-prone Gulf Coast for 20 years, when Hurricane Andrew hit in 1992, causing destruction throughout the region. Since then, Louisiana, Florida and neighboring states have set higher standards for facilities' evacuation plans, requiring them to be more detailed and have more backup options, and state authorities have monitored these plans more aggressively.
"Our Health Department will check to see if, 'Well, this nursing home is planning to go to this place, and another home is going to that place,' and they'll find the duplication," Donchess said, and make sure the duplications are eliminated. He said the resilience of the evacuation plans was put to the test in 2008, when Hurricane Gustav forced 93 nursing homes with 8,000 residents to evacuate. "Fortunately, our plans worked. We got all 8,000 people into either other nursing homes or adequate housing."
New York's post-Sandy recommendations are expected soon from the governor's panels, and then it will be up to state officials and legislators to revise and enforce regulations.
"People give lipservice when we actually need details," Redlener said. "You would think, for example, if you were running a nursing home in an area that needs to be evacuated, you wouldn't need to be told about bringing medical records and all the information that needs to be transported with residents."
Redlener said he hopes the commissions he and others are leading will produce tangible improvements.
"There's still a lot of work to be done," he said. "And that will involve more intense scrutiny of the planning process throughout the state, more verification that the plans are actually workable. All this is now on the table."

Honky Tonk live by DC & Stratophonics

Hideaway live by DC & Stratophonics
Click on the above to hear Hideaway.
DC's Fraternity-of-a-Band Called The Stratophonics
About the band: In 1982 WHK 1420 am Radio became "The Oldies Station" in Cleveland for Malrite Communications.They asked Dennis Chandler if he and his band would serve as their Houseband in support of their oldies format. It was Dennis' suggestion to rename his band aka Dennis Chandler Band aka Steel… in a nod to the station's early "Reverberating sound", introduced in 1959 as "Stratophonic sound".
Dennis' renaissance wasn't really new in 1982. History was repeating itself. Another group of his The Pilgrims served as a radio station houseband, too. It was years earlier (1964) when guitar virtuoso Glenn Schwartz, drummer Ron Harkai, bassist Pete Dragas and bandleader Dennis Chandler (on keyboards and guitar) got to work for the Detroit-Windsor regional radio powerhouse… the legendary CKLW. Program Director Dave Shaffer had the very young band backing live performances of artists such… The Isley Brothers, The Supremes, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Mary Wells, Ronnie & The Daytonas, Freddie Cannon, Del Shannon, Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels, Dobie Gray, Little Eva, Gary & U.S. Bonds, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, to name just a few. Playing around the Detroit-Windsor area in those days, made that scene Dennis' Music Graduate School. It earned him an early Doctorate in Diversity, too, so to speak.
But, back to when Dennis Chandler left Detroit to return home to Cleveland. Becoming such a strong backup brought him lots of work (or shall we say play) with artists as diverse as… Jerry Lee Lewis, Bobby Vee, Fabian, The Cadillacs, The Coasters, The Crests, The Drifters, the Jive Five, Jan & Dean, The Rivingtons. He also got to play in Tom King & The Starfires later The Outsiders and then the early James Gang. His band sometimes known as the Dennis Chandler Band aka Steel aka The Stratophonics got gigs backing… Leslie Gore, Lou Christie, The Brooklyn Bridge, Vito & The Salutations, The Secrets and The Regents, to name just a few.
Ability to "stand and deliver" playing back of so many diverse acts brought Dennis that earned invitation from Malrite CEO Milt Maltz to become WHK Radio's Houseband. In turn, bandleader Dennis was delighted to be reunited with some of his early rock 'n' roll teachers. By the way, in musical support of promotional events he and his band helped collect over 200,000 of the 600,000 petition signatures for the all-media campaign to "Bring the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & Museum to Cleveland". (Click on the page titled "Rock Hall Song" to learn more.)
Those radio station gigs also reunited him with some of his very favorite musical mentors i.e, rock pioneers Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and Lonnie Mack. Speaking of the legendary songwriter-singer-guitarist Chuck Berry… it was at the station's "Moondog Coronation Ball" (after The Stratophonics opened and then backed up Berry)… that Chuck Berry told the audience, "Dennis is my favorite piano white piano player".
Why Dennis Chandler was dubbed "The Ed-U-tainer": The term is rooted in a philosophy much like the late Marvin Hamlisch had. Marvin-the-musician was called "The Entertainer". No doubt it was in a nod to the Scott Joplin song of the same title. That early composer's music was championed by Hamlisch-the-producer to great success (as in numerous awards including Oscars). But… most importantly, Hamlisch helped to shine a spotlight on how the earlier composers set the stage, so to speak, for America's original music. The example of Marvin-the-entertainer espoused the philosophy of "Ed U-Taining"… that… "One must entertain but educate, too!" Thus, Dennis was dubbed "The Ed-U-Tainer". It is a testament to the work Marvin and other mutual friends started back in the day.
By the way, it was in 1975 that the two entertaining-types first met… when they both "played the Palace" (the one in Cleveland's Playhouse Square). There was Dennis Chandler opening for Marvin Hamlisch, sort of. The setting? The run down theatre just prior to Marvin performing a benefit concert there. (Hamlisch helped raise funds to further the restoration of the Palace). So, what did the two teachers talk about?.. Which vaudevillians must have treaded those boards when they came to town?.. And what performers must have had to play "Uptown at East 1-0-5" while doin' the Chitlin' Circuit ?.. Talk 'bout the Blues…
To this day, Dennis still shares that deep feeling about the Blues. It's in whatever his band does musically and at all gigs, big or small. It pleases him that the living-room-learning-format utilized to give a little history behind those hits from the past… goes over so well with audiences of all ages. Again, why Dennis was dubbed "The Ed-U-tainer".
Speaking of "Ed-U-Taining"… a few years back in the '80s/'90s, Dennis had done his brand of a "Blues in the Schools" concert/lecture series. Their "tour" took them from inner-city to outer-suburb, teaching children where the music of today came from… yesterday's blues. That's how he got to pass the music on. Music, Dennis was taught in most part, firsthand by the bluesmasters themselves.
How they taught him was through their time-honored Oral Tradition. Those bluesmen would invite Dennis to "Come, sit, learn" at their knee, so to speak. Albeit his baptism-by-fire, he holds precious the many memories that included lessons hard-learned but always lovingly taught, "Good, good… now try it this way". Great respect was earned for America's original music… and for the musicians who made the music… and for those who shared the music with him… Muddy Waters, Luther Allison, Albert King, James Cotton, Roosevelt Sykes, Sunnyland Slim, Mike Bloomfield, Charles Musselwhite, Paul Butterfield, Elvin Bishop, Bill "Honky Tonk" Doggett, Robert "Jr." Lockwood and of course, we'd be remiss to not list Dennis' "second father", B.B. King. Why was he more than a teacher? B.B. called Dennis, "A fabulous musician. I call him my adopted son 'cause I like to think I raised him". And for over 50 years he did. Rest in Paradise, dear Poppa B.B. (To learn about Dennis being dubbed by B.B., "Lucille's Godfather" … Click on the page titled "B.B.King – Lucille".)
In closing… What a blessing it has been playing so many special events associated with Roots Rock and Blues. It has also enabled many of the original bandmembers to return to their love of making music. So… Let them "Ed-U-Tain" you.

OTTAWA — James Travers, a former Southam News editor and more recently a national columnist for the Toronto Star, has died, according to multiple sources at the Star.
His death was reportedly of complications after having his spleen removed at an Ottawa hospital.
Travers also served as editor of the Ottawa Citizen from 1991 until 1996, when he resigned over differences with the newspaper's then-owner, Hollinger Corp., which was controlled by Conrad Black.
Liberal MP Bob Rae broke down as he read a tribute to Travers in the House of Commons on Thursday.
Referring to Travers' "lovely sense of fun," Rae said, his voice cracking, "We will all miss his keen mind and shrewd analysis. But even more we will miss the warmth and kindness he showed to so many of us."
Condolences for Travers have also been
including one from Dimitri Soudas, spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office:
Here's a brief anecdote on Travers from the Post's John Ivison:

College isn't for everyone. Especially two guys from Ventura County who were home schooled their senior year so they could tour the world and surf together. Alpinestar team rider Nathanial Curran is stoked about his longtime friend's company, FastClips.com. With the November 2007 launch of the world's first video/text sharing website, pal Frank Tesoro is attempting the plunge into reality television.
In October 2006 Tesoro's friend and business partner Taylor Chien said he wished he could watch video clips on his cell while waiting long hours at the airport. They brought their friend Chase Baron on board and pioneered the first video sharing site that enables anyone to upload and send video clips from their computer to their cell, via text message.
"It's always cool to see new short clips of surfing," Curran says, "You don't always have time to watch a whole surf video. You just wanna' see clips of Kelly before your heat."
Although Curran didn't invest in the company, he rocks their logo on his board and reps their videos on his travels. FastClips strapped him with an iPhone to bring wherever he goes. "When Nathaniel's in the middle of nowhere, he's gotta see some ladies," Tesoro laughs. "We all love the ladies."
Their vantage point: exclusive footage you can't find anywhere else. Catch Timmy Curran pulling a front-side back flip or an up close and personal view of FastClips sponsored UFC fighter, Kimbo Slice.
O'Neill recently jumped on with a link for FastClips.com and their homepage where they upload clips of their team riders. "O'Neill's doing something for us everyday," Tesoro says, "They're super cool guys, I consider them partners."
After less than a year running and with hardly any marketing efforts made, they have already nabbed publicity and advertisers on their site.
"I bought a screen printing machine and make t-shirts in the garage," Tesoro says, "Then I have my friends wear them out. Besides word of mouth we really haven't marketed the company yet."
What you can look forward to: a possible reality series and some intense footage of a {{{Ferrari}}} Run from Calabasas, Ca to the Marine Corps Base in Camp Pendleton on May 31. The guys are riding shotgun and catching it all on tape.

From Mom-
What do we say? Do we do a tribute, do we do a love letter, or do we tell everyone what happened. Mom said she thought about writing something down, something sweet something eloquent but she decided to write start from the heart.
First, Tux gave up, you could see it in his eyes. Doc told us when you see a dog go outside and they just stand there, like they are lost, no sniffing of the ground, no ears perked up and no happy wag of the tail....that the quality of life has left them. That's what's been happening. He was doing fine till last week during the cold rains we had. It made him achy, it made him not even want to pick up his head to tell me "Hey" when I walked in the door. Then he stopped eating again Wed. and refused to drink water. Mom and Dad brought him over yesterday, he walked around in my backyard barely being able to hold himself up. He just kept walking in big circles, like he thought if he stopped and sat down he would never get back up. Right then seeing him like that I knew it was time (honestly, I knew last weekend but Mom and Dad needed to be ready to let him go). The quality of life had left him. Turns out that's why they brought him over. So he could have one last visit with me, David, Diamond and the cats.
My mother, Linda, is officially a cancer survivor sense her surgery back in late July or was it early Aug? Anyway, she is still weary from her battles mentally and physically. Tux's not wanting to eat and Mom knowing that's the only way he can survive, was taking a toll on her. She was always with him, night and day. She seen every bad day he had and felt his pain. I think of all the times over the last couple years that he would be sleeping and I would strain my eyes to make sure his chest is moving, sometimes even walking over to feel his chest move. Imagine how many times my Mom has done that. Sometimes watching someone die slowly is just as bad as being the one dying. Hate to sound bad but this is a release for both of them, Mom and Tux.
Mom could not bare going in while Doc was helping Tux pass. So it was Dad and me carrying him in right at closing time. You could see the hurt in the eyes of the lady that was there to pick up her gorgeous Golden Retriever (which had a grey muzzle of his own). I think she knew.
Dear Tux,
We are going to miss seeing your grey muzzle walking in the door, so full of life. You always looked like you were smiling. I was happy to see you too. Everybody loved you, you even inspired Trisha to adopt an elderly dog. She loved how your were so laid back and calm and loving. That you had an air of chill about you. What she didn't know was that it wasn't your age showing, that was just you.
The day I got you, I was surrounding by 8 little bouncing puppies. All trying to get my attention, all running in circles trying to nip each others back legs. You were all so cute. Little fuzz balls with big eyes and puppy breath. I just couldn't make up my mind which one of you I wanted to take home. I sat on the steps leading down into the pin where you all were and you came to me.
You were so cute. With your short stubby legs trying to climb those big steps but you made it and then laid down to take a nap underneath my legs on the step. I knew right then you had picked me.
Over the years we have played in the fields of hay, in the woods, in the snow, and in the ocean. Celebrated the seasons together with long walks down the dirt road. At one point yesterday while walking up to the big Oak Tree I wanted to call out your name then I remembered. I could see you running down the driveway, with that little cantor of yours, ears and tongue just a flapping. Your were such a happy dog.
Thanks for letting me cry on shoulder all those years and thanks for coming to me when you needed to feel safe, warm and loved. Years ago I made you the promise and yesterday we decided to make good of our promise. Baby, you are free now. You've have been with me for so long, it's time to give you back.
As you laid there, on that cold Stainless Steel table, you looked at me. You looked at me down to my soul. I felt your fear, but somehow I knew you were telling me you loved me and saying thank you. Then when the sedative started to relax you, and Dad was squatting in front of the table, rubbing your head. I leaned over to rest my head on his shoulder and you looked me again with such love. Dad told you that you were going to be young and full of life again within mins. I hope you seen us and heard us. Within mins, Doc came back in and helped you cross.
Till the day you see us again always remember.. we love you more than words could ever say and I can't wait to see those floppy ears a blowing in the wind as you run to catch up with me again.
A picture I've carried in my wallet for the last 14 years.
I have started to eat again and drink water. I'm not eating a lot nut enough according to Grandpa. Mom thinks The meds have kicked in finally. Plus all the purrs and whimpers probably helped too.
Got to tell you a story. Mom wrote a pmail to a friend offering our door step for their broken hearted stories and rants of stress. They have a very sick kitty Max who the vets have no idea what is wrong with him. He is 3 years old and fighting for his life. She was telling his Mom a story about the other day and decided to share it with everybody.
Zach, my cat brother and Zoe my cat sister are having pirate ships manned by catster cats. Boy pirates against girl pirates. They say so far it's been really fun. Both of them have gotten new friends from kitties reading diaries by kitties who are signed up as pirates. Well, Zach has a new friend named Bear. And Bear wrote him a simple pirate question and added that they were purring for me. This was Sun night.Remeber at this time they were really thinking I wasn't going to get better. Now, Mom wrote back but she didn't just write back about pirate week, she bleed her heart out to this poor kitty. It was a release, a good feeling release.
Mom thought after she wrote all this about me she thought... Dang I need to erase this but for some reason she didn't Instead she apologized for dumping her broken heart on their door step. Remember, this is a brand new, as of the day before catster friend. Mom believes in fate and she really believed there was a reason for writing out this sad story out to a stranger. She believes there's always a reason why things happen. You might not understand it now but chances are you will sometime. Dad believes you make your own fate. Opposites attract!
Well, Bear wrote back. Turns out they had just went through this earlier in the year. And this was their reply...
Said "We lost our sisfur Onyx in April. The wounds are still fresh. Mom knows the pain of trying to decide whether to hold on or let go. Our purrs and prayers are with you whatever you decide, and our love surrounds Tux. We don't need to know you well to offer that, and we wish we could do more."
We don't need to know you well to offer you that. Wow! All of a sudden Mom didn't feel alone in her grief. (she has her family and dad but she still felt alone) It donged on Mom she really is at the right place for her. She doesn't get into other websites but this is why she stays here. The love you feel from other furbaby fanatics is so comforting in times of sadness and so fun during the good times.
Thank You all for the comforting comments and the helpful ideas that have been offered. Samantha take care of Tigger, we do love him so. Besides, he's got to sail out with Zach Thur.
Animal lovers have big hearts and it shows...love you all.
As you know, I'm 17 and haven't been eating good lately. Well, Grandma and Grandpa knows why now.
Troubles and tears surround us today. Our dear Tux is so sick. See, I've been diagonsed with acute kidney failure. Doc agreed that I didn't act like it was time, and I don't want to go yet! but I won't take his meds! He's got to take them, Mom said! I have two heart pills and now two kidney pills I'm also taking in fluids too.
Grandpa called Mom at work and told her to bring Diamond and some food out to the house. As some of you know, we have been having a hard time keeping Tux eating, and now it's worse. He pulled a muscle in his leg and then ran off two days in a row! He did come back by himself both times but the second day he was in pitiful shape. That's when he went to the vets for the second time and we found out his kidneys were going down for the count. Mom tried covering the pills with ice cream, pimento cheese and peanut butter. The peanut butter worked but she still had to be forceful with him. Which she hated doing. He took all but one pill of the two kidney pills. Grandma said she would bring him over to our house tomorrow night for round two.
Mom- He has to eat and he has to take his meds, if he doesn't he'll leave us. Grandma thanks they are fighting a losing battle. Mom agrees he's being awfully stubborn about the whole thing. Purr that he will understand all of this. And purr that he doesn't bite My finger again. It was a minor causality of war today.
Sad note: Diamond told me they were all sitting outside enjoying the afternoon when Grandpa and Grandma started talking about how much grey he's gotten in the past two weeks. This haunted Mom's thoughts all night.
Please whimper for my boy....Doc is going out of town next Thur. to next Tues. and I'm so afraid something bad is going to happen during that time. Please keep us in mind.

Intermittent gas furnace problems
I have an older Tempstar furnace that has developed intermittent failures since late december. The thermostat tells the furnace to start (heat on), the furnace starts up, but sometimes one of three things happen:
1. The pilot fails to ignite the flame
2. The pilot lights the flame, but only a small flame on one of the three burners stay lit.
3. All three burners light, but then go out within a couple of minutes.
This "failure" has occurred three times, but after 5-12 hours the furnace starts up fine and provides heat for the next few days.
I've had it looked at and of course it was working at the time so I didn't get any answers except the suggestion to replace it because it is old.
I realize that replacement is probably inevitable but I would prefer to do this in the spring as I would like to make some repairs in the utility closet.
Any suggestions for DIY maintenance or specific tasks for a professional would be appreciated.
If this furnace has a standing pilot ,I would suggest cleaning them. sometimes over time the pilot orifice gets partially restricted and makes the pilot smaller and usually creates orange feathering on it. This smaller pilot can easily loose contact with the thermocouple and cause intermirrent shut-downs.

The Right Way To Globalize Your Interactive Marketing Programs
Posted by Nate Elliott on May 16, 2012

I have a tailor named James.
Well, I say I have a tailor, but in truth I've only commissioned one item – a jacket – and it's not done yet. I had an initial fitting about 10 days ago, and I'll collect the finished article next week.
I decided to find a tailor because I was tired of off-the-rack suits that never fit quite right. So James took more than a dozen measurements. We talked in detail about sleeve lengths, and lapel widths, and how I liked my jackets cut. And once he'd made a sample, I tried it on so James could get the details just right. I expect it'll be a perfect fit.
When you look at your company's marketing efforts from one country to another, how well would you say those programs fit? In the past year I've worked with a bank, a consumer goods manufacturer, and a pharmaceutical company that are all struggling with how to globalize their interactive marketing programs. And while most of them had a couple different issues holding them back, there was one common theme: The global programs rarely fit the local markets.
Local interactive marketing managers tell us they're also tired of shopping off-the-rack — in their case, being handed one-size-fits-all sites and strategies that aren't tailored to their markets — and that they usually don't have enough resources to make the proper alterations. The result is a choice between using ill-fitting global programs that don't meet local needs or creating cheap one-off local efforts that don't meet global guidelines or standards.
The solution, of course, is better tailoring. Marketers need to better measure the needs of each local team using a tool like the Interactive Marketing Maturity Model, and the needs and preferences of local customers as well. Then they can fit both the programs they deliver to each local team and the resources they offer each team for local alterations.
Does this cost more, and take more time? Of course it does. If you can't find more budget – most of us can't right now – you may wind up with fewer 'suits in your wardrobe.' But you'll find they fit a whole lot better.
If you're trying to figure out how to best manage your interactive marketing programs in global and emerging markets, register to come see me talk about this topic next week at our 2012 EMEA Interactive Marketing Summit in London – or if you're a client, have a look at our report on The Right Way To Globalize Your Interactive Marketing Programs.
June 1 update: The Interactive Marketing Summit was great. And my jacket fits perfectly.
