Handling: On the 450 as well as the 300 the steering was very tight. It was the general consensus that with some minor changes, there could prove significant performance increases. Even at 52" the two quads stayed on track through the tight woods sections. In fact it made one wonder how well they might handle with the shorter a-arms mounted on.
Suspension: Given the wide range of riders showing up to test ride, the high performance Ohlins shocks where probably set for a rider in the 200lb range with and average riding ability. But even with a 150lb Pro they handled very well in every area except in the deep, choppy whoops. With the proper adjustments both the 450 and the 300 should pound through similar scenarios.
Motor: I'll start with good. The 300cc two-stroke has the most useable power I have ever experienced on a production performance two-stoke. The jetting was slightly off due to the high elevation, but still performed well. The 450 fuel-injected motor was superb. It had terrific torque, a wide power-band, and was overall very comfortable. The only bad thing I have to say about the quads would be that the 300 just doesn't have the torque that the 450 has (duh). I would like to add that trails were very gravelly and I would have loved to see what these quads could with some better traction.
Pros & Cons: The weight for Pro level racing will need to be addressed, but I could see areas to drop some lbs. The 450 and the 300 come race ready with every thing you could ask for. The price tag is significant $7,895 for the 300 and $8,795 for the 450. However, if you were to compare the new Yamaha 450 and Honda 450. Both of which are in the upper six grand area. I believe the three are comparable. Neither the Yamaha nor the Honda are fuel injected and for motor-cross or desert you'll have to buy a-arms, axles and more than likely three new shock absorbers (if you want Ohlins quality). Finally, the Gas Gas Quads come standard with a chrome anti-vibe steering stem, nerf-bars with extra large foot-pegs, Pro-Design kill switch, and complete aluminum skid plate protection.

Wayne and Em Rock SNL!
Weezy and Em did "No Love" on SNL over the weekend. Peep..
I honestly think Eminem did better on this performance than he did at the "Home and Home" tour with him and Jay-Z. I wasn't impressed then but he rocked this one! What do you think? It's funny to think Em is like 10 years older than Wayne…

Injury-riddled Penguins stop Senators, win 7th straight
OTTAWA — Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk, who's launching a forensic investigation about Matt Cooke's injuring Erik Karlsson in February, should be suspicious of the entire Penguins' roster.
Losing doesn't appear to be in the Penguins' DNA.
Playing without a group that could comprise one-third of an NHL All-Star team, the Penguins simply went about their business again — this time in hostile territory — and won their seventh straight in a 3-1 victory against the Senators. They have won 22 of their past 24 games.
"I think it shows that we're hungry and that we always want to win," said right wing Jarome Iginla, who scored the game-winning goal. "We're without great players, obviously, but we have that confidence."
Coach Dan Bylsma claimed his 200th career win.
Also, goalie Tomas Vokoun earned the 300th career victory and is 13-4 this season.
"It's a pretty nice milestone," said Vokoun. "There are a lot of great goaltenders out there. It shows consistency."
So do the Penguins, who haven't lost a game all season when leading after two periods.
The Penguins (35-10, 70 points) played in Ottawa without eight key contributors. Sidney Crosby (broken jaw), Evgeni Malkin (shoulder), James Neal (concussion), Kris Letang (food poisoning), Paul Martin (broken hand), Marc-Andre Fleury (wife close to giving birth), Beau Bennett (upper-body injury) and Mark Eaton (rest) all missed Monday's game.
Yet the Penguins keep winning. They are 18-5 on the road, including 11-1 against teams in the Eastern Conference playoff picture.
Center Dustin Jeffrey was the surprise hero for the Penguins, receiving a spot in the lineup and quickly capitalizing with a goal and an assist in the first period.
"This was my opportunity," Jeffrey said. "I wanted to do something with it."
Holding a 2-0 lead in the third period, the Penguins allowed one goal but wouldn't crack. Cooke set up Tyler Kennedy to put the game away.
The game meant essentially nothing in the standings for the Penguins and everything for the Senators, who have one-point lead over the Winnipeg Jets for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot.
The Penguins appeared to exit the game unscathed, though defenseman Simon Despres absorbed a nasty hit from Senators forward Chris Neil in the second period. Neil's arm seemed to make contact with Despres' head. He received only a two-minute penalty, and the Penguins, who retaliated, found themselves shorthanded.
Bylsma was dumbfounded by the ruling and thought Neil deserved more of a punishment.
"I don't think you need to see the hit on a replay to see how it happened," Bylsma said.
Replays aren't required to explain why the Penguins are winning right now.
"I like so many things that we're doing right now," defenseman Douglas Murray said. "We're just playing the game the right way. We stood up for each other tonight, but we were here to get the win. And that's what we did."

I could not resist going to the library, after reading that an
innovative and self-taught photographer named Bert Stern
passed away last Tuesday, May 25, 2013. He was born on
October 3, 1929.
How will you know this famous, but not always recognized,
photographer? He started as a mail room clerk at "Look"
magazine, straight out of high school. Bert made his way up
from the mailroom, as the rags to riches story unfolded.
Once he left this position, he moved to "Mayfair" magazine
becoming the art director, and proceeded to fine tune his skills
in photography.
Bert Stern liked to say that he "didn't know how to read a light
meter." By the mid-1950's, Stern became known for his memorable
and strikingly unique angles in advertising, including his advertising
for Smirnoff vodka martini.
Here are a few unusual artistic shots of "The driest of the dry" vodka
martinis. One was with men in dark business suits sitting in sand
dunes, holding martini glasses. Another captured a camel walking
down Fifth Avenue in NYC. An expensive but worthy photo shoot in
Egypt, presents a martini glass in the sand, with the Great Pyramid
of Giza behind it. Matt Schudel, Washington Post reporter, describes
this awesome angle as:
"The tip of the pyramid, suffused in pinkish-gold light, is refracted upside
down in the liquid inside the glass."
The "creative revolution" in advertising in the 50's, depicted in Mad Men
television series, is attributed to Bert Stern. He also is famous for his
portrayal of Marilyn Monroe known as "The Last Sitting," since it was held
in July, 1962. Marilyn died August 5, 1962 at age 36. These 2,571 images were
published a 1982 book, titled "Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting."
Originally, Vogue had been the one to send Bert to Hollywood to take these
photographs. Bert brought 3 bottles of Dom Perignon and without even her
drinking a sip, she was very easily relaxed. Later, he recounted in an Australian
" She was much more beautiful and easier to work with than I expected."
Bert Stern's other major accomplishment was a landmark jazz documentary
film, "Jazz on a Summer's Day" filmed at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival in
Rhode Island.
This film was made before his 30th birthday, including crowd and sailboat
images, along with footage of musicians who could fill the Hall of Fame for
Jazz! Here are just a few names to 'drop': Thelonious Monk, Chuck Berry,
Louis Armstrong, Gerry Mulligan and Anita O'Day.
He was later given the opportunity to take portrait photographs of major
movie stars, such as Marlon Brando, Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, Audrey
Hepburn and 1950's model, Suzy Parker. In 1962, he made the movie poster
photograph of teen actress Sue Lyon with her heart shaped sunglasses for
A 2011 documentary was made by Laumeister, "Bert Stern: Original Mad Man."
Renowned designer, George Lois, said of Stern's advertising photography was
"breathtaking because they were ideas."
In 2011, talking of himself, Stern said, "I don't consider myself a photographer,
I'm a designer with a camera."
The death of this outstanding photographer, Bert Stern, captured my heart
reading the tributes to him. Also, seeing and studying some examples of his
fine body of work.
This made me come "out of hiding" from my Mom's apartment and I threw
aside my "recreation and relaxation" to go to the Westlake Public Library.
I regret to say I did not check out your interesting, both funny and serious,
posts. Please just accept that I wanted to inform you of a loss of this man with
humble origins who made it to acclaim and fortune, through learning his
trade and gave us so much in return.

Kate has reportedly told friends that she gave serious thoughts to an acting career
Not all bad experiences bring bad effects. Nonetheless, in particular cases bad experiences would lead us to a better understanding that finally creates a better of us. Get the point? Bad experiences would sharpen our quality as a human being that at the end of the road we can be a much better person.
See the example of our supermodel Kate Moss, who recently got struck on snorting cocaine scandal. Despite the many side effects of the incident, she stands still, bravely facing all the consequences with her face observes intently to her future days. Being in the rehab, she had the time to think of her life, career, future, and many other things.
At last, she woke up in realization that her modeling career won't last forever. She yes has had everything from modeling; money, fame, and popularity, but facing the fact, Moss has put up plans to make a fresh start. And she reportedly has told friends that she is eyeing an acting career. Seriously of course.
See? Experience is a good teacher, though the bad ones. Also, experience must be bought.

Ragnar Vegas Leg 2
|November 15, 2012
|Posted by Emily under Uncategorized
First things first.
There is something I probably should have clarified about the intentions of our team as soon as I wrote my first post about Ragnar. (Although you maybe made an educated guess about this based on all 5 of our excited results posts/tweets/facebook messages).
When we entered this relay, we were in it to win it. All 6 girls on #Undecided2 were on board to put their game faces on as soon as touched down on Nevada soil.
Skinny Runner: Don't Mess with the Best 'Cause the Best a Hot Mess
We did not sign up for 200 miles of fun runnin' through the desert. We were there to compete. (Although, let's be real, competition IS fun.) While there was no time trial audition or thorough vetting of athlinks results to get a spot in the van, there was a mutual agreement that we were all going to run our asses off for 24+ hours and try to place at the top of the women's ultra category…(and maybe also the straight up female division and why not try to kick some butt of all genders on all ultra teams?)
So now you know. Team #Undecided2: Operation W.
Now, back to the race:
After I bombed down the mountain, the rest of the #Undecided2 lineup was on deck to race their first legs through the hills and desert of Nevada.
First up, Margot with 11.2 miles.
Nailed it.
Next 11.8 miles for the most stylish member of the team.
"You can call me Skinny Runner but slim down my mileage and I pummel you."
After SR and Margot dominated their miles, the sun had set and we knew the conditions were getting rough. The wind was coming straight at the runners at a rather brutal, unforgiving force and the course was lonely.
Because of the staggered start times based on expected pace, we were one of the last dozen teams to begin the race. Relay organizers do this so the speedier teams begin to catch up with other groups throughout the day/night and finish closer together. This is all good and shit, but it set us up for a very quiet, lonely, and kind of scary start to the race.
And cold? Did I mention cold?
It was effing cold out. Fleece, down, and snuggies played a starring role over the course of the weekend.
By the time Sarah was running her 10.9 mile leg, it was only 6pm, but it felt like midnight.
As we were waiting for her to come into the exchange another team showed up desperately looking for a lost runner. You know where I would never want to get lost? Bumfuck, Nevada at night. Shit just got real.
When Sarah flew into the exchange, we saw just how shitty it really was, and just how much our team was committed to dominating Operation W.
Yup, that's blood. From the WIND.
Our non-blogging ringer Kristina took the bracelet from Sarah and flew out of the exchange to rock 6.4 miles. This girl just threw down a 1:33 half, so we knew we'd only have to wait, like, 10 minutes for her to show up.
Sure enough, K came sprinting into the exchange and Lauren took off to anchor our first round of legs with 6.9 miles.
I was up next and not feeling great about the 10.9 miles ahead of me. My legs were unquestionably feeling the weight of my mountain descent, not to mention a tinybit stiff from sitting in a van for hours after finishing my leg.
And then there was the matter of the elevation profile of the nearly 11 miles I was about to run, which can be summed up in two characters:
Sarah has assigned me the goal pace of 7:15 for my relay legs. As I waited for Lauren to come in and hand off to me, I sat there telling myself that a 7:15 pace for 11 miles is easy-peezy, no problemo, piece of cake, I can do that in my sleep, good thing it's a night leg, move over and let me run.
And as soon as I did start running, I really, truly tried to hit that pace.
And for a whopping 1.5 miles, I did. But then I realized that while sure, I can hit a 7:15 for 11 miles on a flat, well lit, not-windy course no problem, the conditions in front of me were going to shoot that goal pace down real quick.
And holy shit, it sucked to see my pace fall as I watched a long ass, unrelenting hill stretch out before me.
The entirety of my leg was a climb. The kind of climb where you think you can see the top the entire time and keep reassuring yourself: "it HAS to go down after I crest that". But nope. It never did. And as much as I tried to fool myself with hopes of a downhill relief, I had seen the elevation maps, I knew that it would never come.
After a brief stint stumbling through suburbia, still trying to maintain a decent pace, we turned onto a highway for more…you guessed it! UP.
And not only were we treated to an all-you-can-climb buffet of inclines for all 11 miles, but for this portion of the leg, we also got to enjoy the exciting addition of traffic lights.
If you've never done a relay like this before, you're probably sitting at your desk thinking "So what? Isn't the course closed to traffic? With volunteers telling cars to halt for you at every intersection?"
Yeah, no.
While I'm a huge proponent for runners getting the right of way in all races (and just life period), we were expected to obey traffic laws and stop for every red light.
It was not that awesome.
While a small part of me was longing for a few seconds of relief from the cruel hills, a much larger part of me wanted to finish sooner and faster.
It wasn't long before I would get my wish for a traffic light-less stretch of pavement, and it was similarly not long before I would instantaneously regret this desire.
After suburbia and strip malls, we turned onto a dark, lonely stretch of highway. No lights. No cars. No other runners. Just miles and miles of empty desert stretching out on both sides of me.
For the next 5? 6? 7? A million miles?
(I had long since stopped looking at my Garmin in hopes that it would make the miles tick by faster…it only kind-of-sort-of-not-really-at-all worked)
It was all uphill (do I even need to specify that anymore? You get it. We were going nowhere but up) and there were 41mph wind gusts with sustained winds of 26mph coming straight at us. I felt like I was moving backwards.
One mile in these conditions seemed brutal, 7 seemed downright impossible.
I wanted to cry.
I said a brief eulogy for my 7:15 pace and thought about what weapon my team would choose to use against me for losing minutes, if not hours, as I got slower and slower trying to push up that hill against the wall of wind with tired legs. A foam roller? Probably not heavy enough. A Tiger Tail? That would certainly sting a little. The Costco sized bin of peanut butter pretzels? That would be a fitting way to harm me, for sure.
My go-to line when races get tough is to reassure myself "you've felt worse than this before, and you've pushed through to finish strong."
But along that highway, I was pretty sure I had finally identified a dark moment in racing where that was no longer true.
To make things worse (because obviously it had to go there) I saw a sign looming in the distance. As I got closer, I could make out the text:
"Do Not Feed the Wild Horses and Burros. $500 Fine."
I'll take: Signs You Do Not Want to See While Alone on Dark Highway, Alex
Forget foam rollers and bins of snacks…I was definitely about to experience death-by-trampling.
At some moment during this all-hope-is-lost-shuffle, I snapped myself out of my misery.
Every team was out on the course in these insane conditions.
Every runner was battling wind, cold, and darkness.
Everyone racing this leg was stuck going 11 miles straight uphill.
Sure, a 7:15 pace would have been great. But maintaining that pace was not our goal.
I had totally lost sight of Operation W.
I'm so used to racing against myself, racing against the clock, and racing against my own PR, I had forgotten that we were out there for the fun of racing against the competition.
At Ragnar Vegas, there was no PR to chase, and it didn't matter what our pace was in the end. It was all about how we stacked up against the other teams and how hard we were willing to work for it.
So screw 7:15. I just needed to give that course, and its miserable uphills, and mother fucking killer wind my very best effort.
So I did.
It wasn't fun. It wasn't pretty. And it certainly wasn't fast. But I guarantee I was busting my ass as hard as anyone else out there.
10.9 miles in 1:30.50 for an 8:20 pace.
Top 3 life moment the second I saw the warm van, cheering teammates, and knew I would not become a victim of the wild horses or wild winds of Nevada.

This has to be one of my favorite race recaps from you. Sounds like epicness right there and one challenging course!
Holy cow, Emily–way to push through and get it done!
wow- this sounds so crazy…and scary! Great job readjusting your thoughts along the way, and it sounds like 8:20 was really fantastic for you given all the conditions on the course!
Sounds like a fun / crazy / awesome race! Awesome job!
Love this statement "Shit just got real."!!!!!
This is epic stuff, and it totally reminded me of being in the middle of rural Kansas (is there any other kind?) at midnight and hearing things moving inthe fields next to me. At least I had my bike to hide behind.
Well done!!
It is great to hear how you realized that everyone was facing these conditions. And to give it your very best, even if that is a little slower than expected.
OMG I would have been FREAKING OUT running in the dark like that! Then the Wild Horses sign would have put me over the edge!! YOU ROCK!
Wow. My legs, sitting here, are exhausted after reading this!
What mental strength to keep pushing and get it done in those conditions!
Okay but really…you just won the recapz. (And I just made that a thing.)
Favorite relay leg recap ever. I, for one, am glad you didn't succumb to death by trampling…even if you did take over our seat of the van with all your crap.
Sounds grim. I always think relays sound like a laugh-a-minute, it's easy to forget the nastiness of some bits of it…like when Caroline got held up in the dark during HTC. It's good to remember that it's not easy and always safe.
Glad you survived :)
You dominated that leg more than anyone else could have. Probably the power of the snuggie…
I was feeling your pain and victory reading that recap! So proud of you for snapping out of the funk and just competing! That's what I need to remember at CIM when I'm hurting! You (and your teammates) all rock! So incredibly happy for your awesome race!
Crazy fun and I'm sure you enjoyed every moment!
This relay sounds totally humbling. What a great recap! You are such a strong competitor…you ALL are!
Haha I loved this race recap! I'm glad you pushed through the tough conditions, but your description was perfect. I still think you did amazing, and as you said, everyone else was dealing with that as well.
Great job!
Death by peanut butter pretzels – epic.
I would have been completely freaked out.

Washington, Sept. 18 (ANI): Robert Pattinson has apparently given away the reason behind his split with cheating girlfriend Kristen Stewart, asserting that he doesn't tolerate people who double cross him.
During an interview with Australia's 'Sunday Style', the 'Twilight Saga' star said that there's not very much that really bothers him and he is really good at trusting people, but once someone breaks his trust, it's over, Fox News reported.
The 27-year-old actor said that he doesn't ever feel the need to forgive or expect people to be forgiving for that matter.
Pattinson asserted that he judges people on their actions and if they do something he can't be bothered to deal with, then he just cuts them out. (ANI)

firing issue on a ted williams model 300
Im having a problem with an old shotgun of my dads. I can pull the slide back and get the firing pin to fall once but that's it.
Could be all gummed up around the firing pin. Maybe a good cleaning will resolve this.
Is it firing the round, extracting, ejecting, and feeding the next round ok? All of that has to happen, as well as resetting the hammer if you are going to get another shot after that.
The hammer wasn't resetting. I fixed it. Thanks everyone for your help. The spring for the slide was backwards so it wasn't allowing the slide to come all the way back.
Ok well I might need a little more help. I cleaned the slide spring as well as the bolt and supports, hangers, lugs whatever you call em.
The problem is in the trigger assembly. I noticed the sear gets pushed down by force of the clambering or the shells going off.
Anyways when the sear goes down it doesn't mate with the hammer. I was able to manipulate the sear moving down and up with ascrewdriver behind it. I took the whole assembly apart and I didn't see any slack in the sear mount and the spring looked good. I think I might be missing a part that may go behind it. Problem is every pic off the internet of this gun assembly sucks. Blurry as hell
Happy Happy Happy

Getting your hands on a vegan and gluten-free cake in Vancouver used to be a challenge. These days, however, you can order such a dessert from Edible Flours or Memento Cakes, pick one up at Choices Markets Rice Bakery, or buy a Chi Cake.
The Mad Hatter Bakery & Cupcakery, started up last year, offers another option. Vancouver resident Angela Webber's home business specializes in baking vegan and gluten-free cakes. Visit her blog on Tumblr and you'll see several examples of colourful cakes with impressive decorations.
Webber, who is studying holistic nutrition, also makes cupcakes, cake toppers (ducks, mermaids, backhoes, and more), and sugar paste flowers. She uses whole-grain ingredients as well as coconut sugar, coconut oil, avocado, and banana.
One day, Webber hopes to open her own cake studio or bakery café. But, for now, you can order her custom cakes and cupcakes (for pick-up only) via the email address on her blog.

The WB: Over The Hill At 11?
The WB television network's recipe for most of its hit shows was always pretty simple: Mix hunks with babes and add a liberal splash of sexual innuendo. And it worked. By the late '90s, the WB was Teen Girl Central. Not anymore. The Gen Yers advertisers covet are tuning out in droves, and speculation is rife that Time Warner Inc.'s (TWX ) 11-year-old network will go the way of its recently canceled show, 7th Heaven.
But the WB is not about to follow its sappy family drama into oblivion. Not yet anyway. And you can thank the zany economics of the TV business for that. Yes, ratings are down for 6 of the 10 shows that returned this season. And it's true that the WB has lost $80 million over the past two years. But Time Warner seems prepared to choke down the losses. That's because the Warner Bros. studio, producer of most of the network's programming, makes a mint selling DVDs and reruns of shows that attract even a modest following. It's a neat trick -- and one that is getting harder to pull off with ratings down 13% from last year. "All the ancillary revenue doesn't mean a thing," says Albie Hecht, a former president at Spike TV, "unless you have something someone wants to see."
The WB is unlike the other networks in one crucial respect. The likes of Fox (NWS ) and UPN can sop up red ink with profits from their TV stations, which make money selling local ads. Warner Bros. owns no stations. And that's where the DVDs and reruns brighten the picture. For example, the studio gets an estimated $850,000 an episode by selling reruns of its Superboy drama Smallville to cable. The WB also sells DVDs, along with Smallville Magazine subscriptions to teens for $37.75 a year. And it gets a cut from the soundtracks of such shows as Gilmore Girls and One Tree Hill.
To generate those ancillary revenues, the WB needs big enough ratings to satisfy advertisers, though. They indirectly foot much of the bill for such shows as Supernatural, which costs an estimated $1 million an episode to make. Yet ratings this year fell by 43% for One Tree Hill, now in its third year, and 24% for four-year-old Everwood. Worse, as several shows have aged, so have the viewers. Since 2002, the WB's median age has risen by six years, to almost 37. "That could be deadly for a network that sells young demos," says Brad Adgate, research director of media buying agency Horizon Media Inc.
Advertisers aren't fleeing so far, but the WB isn't taking any chances. It laid off 45 people, about 15% of the staff, in December. Axing 7th Heaven was another cost-cutting move; the show lost the WB $16 million last year, due to highly compensated stars and falling ratings. And while Warner makes most of the 12 shows on the current schedule, the WB has to reach outside for ratings grabbers, such as Fox's Beauty and the Geek.
The WB doesn't have forever to right its ratings, what with corporate raider Carl C. Icahn at Time Warner's gate. A renegotiated deal with Tribune Co. (TRB ), which owns 22.5% of the WB and carries programming on its 19 affiliates, could help. That contract has been held up for months, giving rise to speculation that Tribune could refuse to pay for the WB shows it carries and cripple the network. Tribune also could stop Warner Bros. from distributing on the Web shows that would compete against its stations.
But the new deal, says WB Chairman Garth Ancier, will likely allow his company to sell shows via the iPod. That's another way for the ratings-challenged network to eke out revenues as it battles to reclaim its lost youth.

Rajon Rondo has been suspended for Game 2 after bumping referee Marc Davis in Game 1.
The Celtics are already shorthanded in the backcourt with Ray Allen battling an ankle injury.
Rajon Rondo has been suspended for Game 2 after bumping referee Marc Davis in Game 1.
The Celtics are already shorthanded in the backcourt with Ray Allen battling an ankle injury.
Rajon Rondo was ejected from Game 1 and may be suspended from Game 2 after bumping referee Marc Davis.
Rond's ejection came with 41 seconds remaining in Boston's 83-74 loss to the Hawks.
"Obviously I was upset about the call and I said some words to Marc," Rondo said. "I deserved the first tech, and as I was walking I thought he stopped, my momentum carried me into him – I even think I tripped on his foot. I didn't intentionally chest-bump him. But that's what it appears to be."
Ray Allen will require offseason surgery to remove bone spurs from his right ankle.
"I know it's weak, but I still have pain in it,'' said Allen. "It feels better. If I could, I would get surgery tomorrow. If it was the beginning of the season, I would have surgery.
"It's just inevitable, talking to a couple of different doctors."
Allen underwent the same procedure in 2007 before joining the Celtics.
Ray Allen did very little in Saturday's practice ahead of Game 1 of their series against Atlanta.
Doc Rivers didn't sound optimistic about Allen's availability or effectiveness if he plays.
Allen hasn't played in two weeks due to a sprained ankle.
"I think he's extremely frustrated,'' Rivers said of Allen on Friday. "He wants to go for it this year and his body's not cooperating. For him, he's done everything right. He came in camp in the best shape of anybody, broke a record on the treadmill. And now his foot is hurting him. And he can't do anything about it, so that bums him out.
"These things mean so much to them, because they've got one, two chances the rest of their careers and you don't want to blow it. They know the clock's ticking. But the body is the final decider.''
Paul Pierce sprained his left big toe during Thursday's regular season finale.
Pierce briefly went into the locker room before returning to the bench.
Pierce was limited to seven minutes in the game.
Chris Wilcox watched Boston's Thursday's regular season finale from a baseline seat, his first game back since undergoing surgery for an enlarged aorta on March 29.
Wilcox will be able to return to basketball activities in three months and plans to remain in the NBA.
"I'm feeling good man, I'm feeling a whole lot better," he said at halftime of the Celtics-Bucks game. "It's over with now. (The doctor) told me I got like a couple of more months to get back right and then a month to recover and I'm straight. I've been doing cardiac rehab, so I'm feeling a whole lot better now."
While the Celtics could possibly overtake the Hawks for homecourt advantage in their probable first round series, Doc Rivers prefers getting his team healthy.
"That's not even a question for me,'' Rivers said. "I'm taking rest and health over home court.''
Boston spent the first part of practice on Monday reviewing tape of the Hawks.
Paul Pierce also was choosing health over homecourt advantage.
"You want to be healthy first,'' Pierce said. "We're definitely a better home team than road team. Going into the playoffs, if everybody's healthy, we've shown we can beat anybody in the Eastern Conference on their home court, so we'll take health.
"I think it's a fine line, because you want to stay in a certain rhythm. At the same time, you want to be rested. Everyone knows how grueling, how physical, how tough mentally and physically the playoffs are. So, I think it's good to be sharp. We want to be as healthy as we can be going into the playoffs."
The Bulls and Celtics had been pursuing Mehmet Okur, according to sources.
Both teams were hoping Okur could be healthy enough to contribute during the playoffs.
Okur is unable to play due to a bad back, but he intends to seek an NBA deal in the offseason.
Sean Williams is on the verge of signing with the Celtics.
Williams was waived by the Mavericks on March 22nd and is therefore eligible for the postseason.
To create a roster space for Williams, Boston will waive Jermaine O'Neal.
Ray Allen has privately felt slighted by the Celtics over the past few weeks.
Allen was nearly traded to Memphis at the deadline and he has played a bench role since returning from injury following the emergence of Avery Bradley.
Allen will be a free agent this offseason and his odds of returning to the Celtics have diminished, according to the Boston Globe.

Is it safe to have a liposuction, breast augmentation AND a rhinoplasty at the same time? I was recently diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia and taking prescription-strength iron supplements (as recommended by my physician). Depending on my progress, I am hoping to have the surgery in one month. My HGB is 10.
Multiple Procedures at the Same Time? (Breast/Nose/Lipo)
Doctor Answers 10
Combining procedures
Combining the procedure you describe should not be a problem, but it depends in a few factors. First, you should have your blood count rechecked prior to surgery to make sure taking the iron solved the problem. If not, you may need a further work up to rule out other causes of anemia. When combining procedures, I prefer not to operate on a patient for more than six to seven hours max, but it is usually a matter of the individual surgeon to decide.
Performing multiple surgeries at the same time ... is it safe?
Statistically we know that there are more complications when surgeries are long or we do multiple surgeries at once. It is up to the operating surgeon to manage these risks on an individual basis with each patient. If you are unsure that you are physically up to the amount of surgery you have scheduled it may be prudent to seek another opinion from our regular physician.
Multiple procedures and anemia
Having multiple procedures performed is OK as long as they are done in a reasonable amount of time, do not cause a lot of blood loss, and you are healthy. As for your anemia, a hematologist should be advising you on the proper management and workup.
You might also like...
Multiple procedures at same time
It is not uncommon to have multiple procedures performed at the same time (the advantages typically include lower cost and combined recovery time) -- the limitations to being able to do this safely involve considerations of your general health, what the procedures are, and the total length of surgical time since the longer you are under anesthesia the more you may be at risk for certain complications. These are issues that you should definitely discuss with your plastic surgeon. Most surgeons will do multiple procedures if these procedures can be performed safely and with minimal extra risk. Good luck!
Multiple procedures with newly diagnosed iron-deficiency anemia
Thank you for your question.
In my practice, multiple procedures are not to exceed 6 hrs. total under general anesthesia. This is a reasonable rule with a healthy patient. I would expect your PS repeat the HGB to ensure that it is well within the normal limits right before your surgery. If not, further diagnostic tests to find the cause are in order.
Kind regards,

Safety of Multiple Procedures
Definitely, having multiple procedures under one anesthetic has advantages and can overlap the recovery. Our decision is based on safety and we individualize the surgical plan to the patient and risk factors. Blood loss is a factor that in your case would the primary factor to consider. One would not want to have to transfuse a patient for purely elective surgery. Therefore, correcting the anemia would be wise beforehand and would also enhance the healing of wounds and recovery.
Multiple procedures
Breast Enhancement
Multiple Plastic Surgery Procedures Performed at Same Time
Receiving multiple plastic surgery procedures at one time undoubtedly increases the risk of surgical complications. However, plastic surgeons commonly perform multiple procedures at once as long as the patient is in good overall health and depending on the extent of the procedures pursued. If you were 100% healthy, I'd be concerned about a very intense recovery. However, because of your anemia, I would be very hesitant to recommend surgery of this extent or even any surgery at all until your HGB is back to normal. I would advise discussing your prospective procedures with your hematologist or general physician as well as discussing your anemia with your plastic surgeon to determine if this is a safe option right now or if it should be postponed.
Multiple Procedures At The Same Time
Your anemia is a red flag that if not solved you may not be able to undergo surgery.
Given the fact that you have your anemia eliminated before the surgery, I believe that you should be fine undergoing the surgeries you have described as far as they are performed within a reasonable amount of time.
The longer the surgeries take, the higher the risk complications will get.
I recommend that you work on solving the anemia problem and get tested before you undergo your surgeries to make sure that you are at a safe place.
Pushing your limits and taking chances will do you more harm than good.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for your inquiry and the best of wishes.

This Land Is Your Land
Words and Music by Woody Guthrie
This land is your land This land is my land
From California to the New York island;
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and Me.
As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway:
I saw below me that golden valley:
This land was made for you and me.
I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
And all around me a voice was sounding:
This land was made for you and me.
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
That side was made for you and me.
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway;
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.
nice bbg, nice
Wuz just starting to feel better after the last 24 hours spent in a coma induced by an excessive mud slide coming out me arse from a bad burrito. Now I read about this and I feel like taking an axe handle to the head of the nearest politician! I know violence begets more violence but for f@ck's sake man, when are we going to put an end to this kind of crap?

Our children can celebrate victories in Budget 2014
"Our children can celebrate victories in Budget 2014," leading home-based ECE provider says
Footsteps, the leading home-based early childhood education provider, applauds the focus on children and families evident in last week's Budget 2014 announcements.
"There are several victories for our children that we can celebrate, and I congratulate the government on recognising that we need to prioritise the wellbeing and development of our young New Zealanders," says Kevin Christie, the CEO and founder of Footsteps.
"In my view, children should become an asset, not a liability. By investing in a solid platform for learning, growth, health and stability for our children, we are also investing in our economy by reducing the need for rehabilitation services in the future. Eighty percent of a child's brain is fully developed before they reach school age, so it is only logical that we prioritise early childhood education."
Finance Minister Bill English announced that the National-led government has earmarked a new allocation of $156 million for early childhood education, around one-third of which will be used to subsidise fees, in a bid to reach a target of 98% engagement of children.
Footsteps serves more than 1,000 children nationwide through its home-based Learn Programme. Around 60% of the organisation's referrals come from CYF or other government agencies. Demand for Footsteps' services has grown significantly (enrolments have quadrupled over the last five years), indicating the extent of the need for its services.
Kevin says, "New Zealand is a country with a happy exterior, with misery and impoverishment hidden behind the doors of family homes. For many children outside the Footsteps whānau, safety and education take a back seat. We need to bring about a societal change to raise awareness of what a child really needs. Therefore we also applaud the $33m dedicated in the budget for vulnerable children. It's not just about the education it's about the quality of education.
"The question is, now that we've ticked the right box by allocating additional funding, how will this investment in children and families really affect the bottom line? How will the extra $500 million support package for families prevent abuse and neglect, and drive quality education?"

Brendan Ryan gets two-year deal with Yankees
Ken Rosenthal chimes in with the details of the Brendan Ryan contract: Two years, $5 million with a club and player option for a third year. With incentives, the deal could be worth $10 million.
It's not the dollars that stand out, it's the years. Two years, maybe three, for a utility infielder — especially one who's hit .217/.283/.294 the past four years — says a lot about the state of the middle infield in the Yankees minor league system. There are some interesting young guys in the lowest levels, but up top, there's very little at second base and shortstop. Corban Joseph just had shoulder surgery, David Adams didn't hit much in his big league debut, and new addition Dean Anna is more of a grinder utility type than a potential everyday fill-in. There's not much knocking on the door to suggest Ryan won't have a role to play in the next year or two.
And then, of course, there's Eduardo Nunez, who was given a chance to secure a long-term utility job — and maybe play his way into everyday status — but never showed enough consistency to give the Yankees confidence. He's flashed strong tools from time to time, but the offense and defense have rarely been there on a consistent basis. Nunez is still not arbitration eligible, so there's little reason to non-tender him, but the Yankees could most certainly shop him around in hopes of trading him to fill a hole elsewhere.
Ryan is a terrific defender, and at the very least his glove probably puts him at the top of the infield bench pecking order. He could handle shortstop if Derek Jeter isn't up to the task, and he could be a one-dimensional alternative at either second base or third base should the Yankees need a replacement at those positions (which certainly isn't out of the question).
At 31 years old, Ryan isn't an all-star and he might never be an everyday player for the Yankees, but he's also the type of player that the Yankees simply don't have in the upper levels of their minor league system.

Tesla Motors, the electric-car maker led by billionaire Elon Musk, released data gathered during a New York Times test drive of the Model S, stepping up its defence of the vehicle to counter a critical review.
The car never ran out of battery power, Musk said in a statement posted on Tesla's website on Thursday, almost a week after John M. Broder at the Times reported the vehicle had to be dragged onto a tow truck because it shut down in the middle of his test drive. Data also showed the reporter drove the vehicle at faster speeds than reported in the article, according to the statement.
"We are upset by this article because it does not factually represent Tesla technology, which is designed and tested to operate well in both hot and cold climates," Musk wrote. Musk, who is also Tesla's biggest shareholder, on February 11 described Broder's story as "fake" in a Twitter post.
New York Times spokeswoman Eileen Murphy said the story is "fair and accurate", and that the newspaper is reviewing Tesla's comments.
The dispute between the Palo Alto, California-based company and the newspaper comes a week before Tesla reports results for 2012's fourth quarter. Tesla is counting on Model S sales and the Model X crossover that arrives in 2014 to help it become profitable.
Test drive
The company named for inventor Nikola Tesla may report on February 20 that it lost 57 cents a share for the fourth quarter, excluding some items, the average of 12 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The company has set a goal of delivering 20,000 lithium-ion battery-powered sedans this year.
The $US101,000 Model S tested by Broder has a range of as far as 483 kilometres under ideal conditions and when its 85-kilowatt-hour battery pack is fully charged. He drove the sedan in temperatures as low as minus 12 degrees during an evaluation to test Tesla's new supercharger stations in Delaware and Connecticut designed to rapidly repower the car.
Broder said the vehicle ran out of power on the second day of his journey, eventually needing to be towed on a flatbed truck to one of the 480-volt superchargers. Tesla warns on its website that electric range is reduced in cold weather, when the heater is used and the car is driven faster than 65 miles an hour (105 km/h)
The carmaker said this week that media test cars are equipped with data logging technology that allows the company to monitor the battery's state of charge, vehicle power usage and position. Broder didn't properly charge the car, Musk said, citing the car's log.
"The Model S battery never ran out of energy at any time, including when Broder called the flatbed truck," he said.

Hank Aaron Memorabilia
During his playing days, "Hammerin'" Hank Aaron was often overlooked in favor of some of his peers such as Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays, but by the time he retired there were no doubts that Aaron was a bastion of class and consistency—and he held the all-time home run record, too.
Despite never hitting more than 47 home runs in a season, Aaron blasted 755 during his career, breaking Babe Ruth's record of 714 in the first days of the 1974 season. Aaron's record stood until 2007 when it was broken by Barry Bonds. Some still consider Aaron to hold the legitimate record, though, due to Bonds' alleged steroid use. Even with his official record gone, Aaron remains baseball's all-time RBI leader, with 2,297.
Aaron's home run balls may be his most attractive collectors' item. They are limited in number and difficult to authenticate, but when collectors get their hands on them, these balls are often centerpieces of collections.
When Aaron broke into the league with the Milwaukee Braves in 1954, few could have predicted that he would one day be home run king—that year he hit just 13 home runs. Aaron's lone rookie card, a 1954 Topps, is his most collectible baseball card. It features two images of Aaron. One is a full-card portrait of Aaron in his Braves cap; the other is a smaller inset shot of him bending down to field a ground ball, even though he was an outfielder. The card is not difficult to find in high-grade, yet it's still a favorite among collectors for its vivid portrayal of the young man.
Just a few years into his career, Aaron asserted himself as one of the stars of the game. In 1957 he had what most fans consider his best season. That year Aaron won his only National League Most Valuable Player (MVP) award and his only World Series title. For the year he hit .322 and led the league with 44 home runs and 132 runs batted in.
In the World Series, Aaron's Braves defeated the New York Yankees in seven games. In commemoration of the showdown between the clubs, Topps released a "World Series Batting Foes" card featuring Mickey Mantle and Hank Aaron in 1958. It is the only card to feature both future Hall of Famers, and it shows them both with bat in hand and smiling, though positioned as if ready for a duel.
The Braves and Yankees met again in the 1958 World Series, giving even more credence to the Topps card. This time, the Yankees prevailed in seven games...
Also released in 1958 was a very popular regional set featuring Aaron: the Hires Root Beer set. The Hires Root Beer Aaron is an attractive card. It shows Aaron kneeling in full uniform, a tan Hillerich & Bradsby Louisville Slugger bat in his hands. This card's value is complicated, however, because it came with a removable tab that was used to prop it up for display in the pack of root beer. It was supposed to be removed, so many price guides only list the card without the tab because it is so difficult to find with the tab intact, but that doesn't mean collectors don't try.
Through the end of the 1950s and into the 1960s, Aaron continued to be a prolific player, going to All-Star game after All-Star game. In 1966, he was among those Braves who moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta.
In 1973, with Aaron fast approaching Ruth's mark, a Hank Aaron-themed board game entitled, "Hank Aaron Baseball Game" was released by Ideal. The game required one player, the pitcher, to send a small wooden ball down a plastic chute (the pitcher could throw different pitches depending on how he or she released the ball), and a batter tried to hit the ball by spinning a dial which controlled the bat. The game was only briefly issued, and is thus collectible for Aaron aficionados.
The 1973 season ended with Aaron one home run shy of Ruth's record. After a winter full of death threats and bigotry—many Americans did not want a black man to break Ruth's record—Aaron tied the record in his first at-bat of the '74 season before taking Al Downing deep a few days later on April 8 to break the record.
That year, electronics company Magnavox released a "Hank Aaron 715 Club Membership Kit." The kit included a 2' by 3' poster of Aaron's record breaking home run, a membership card, a badge, and a sportscaster guide. It is difficult to find the entire kit intact, though the poster, especially when autographed by Aaron, is the most popular item.
Aaron retired after the 1976 season, and five years later he was inducted into the Hall of Fame with 97.83 percent of the vote, which at the time was the second highest percentage ever received by a player, after Ty Cobb.
Today, other popular Aaron collectibles include autographed baseballs, game-worn jerseys, statues, photographs, and commemorative coins.

jphuntsho, yes please send a list of recommended tour operators? That would be really useful particularly if you have used any of them before.
If everyone is earning in US dollars, this is fine.

Artistfacts for Nine Inch Nails
Founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor in Cleveland, Ohio, Nine Inch Nails (NIN often stylized as NIИ) is commonly referred to as an industrial rock act though NIN defies genre convention, drawing musical inspiration from hardcore industrial bands like Skinny Puppy and Throbbing Gristle, while incorporating solo piano ballads, synthpop variations and even elements of drum & bass into their sound. Trent Reznor is the only official member of the project although backing musicians are employed for live performances.
As a studio engineer and fresh out of the bands The Innocent and Exotic Birds, Reznor started his own project borrowing John Malm Jr. from Exotic Birds as his informal manager. At the time, Reznor worked as a janitor and assistant for Right Track Studios. There he recorded his first demos. Unable to find like-minded individuals that suited his artistic needs, Reznor played all the instruments himself except for the drums and went on to support Skinny Puppy at several concerts.
Reznor's aspirations for NIN included a 12-inch single on a small European label, but he signed with TVT records and recorded nine tracks in November 1988. These tracks were later included in NIN's first full length album release in 1989. There was much speculation about the project's name, perhaps alluding to the nine-inch nails used for the crucifixion of Jesus or, it was speculated, meant to allude to Freddy Kreuger's nails from the horror franchise
Nightmare on Elm Street
. Reznor himself disputed any literal meaning claiming he chose the title because it abbreviated well and made a good logo.
In 1989, Reznor collaborated with Adrian Sherwood and Mark "Flood" Ellis on the production of the album
Pretty Hate Machine
, including the now classic NIN singles "
Head Like A Hole
" and "Down In It." This album was one of the first independently released albums to ever achieve platinum status. The original music video for "Down In It" sparked controversy when the helium weather balloon used to film the last scene, where Reznor lies seemingly dead and covered in corn starch while other band members walk off screen in weird costumes, escaped its mooring and ended up in a farmer's field. The farmer took the camera to the FBI suspecting marijuana surveillance footage. The FBI thought the footage was related to gang violence or possibly even a snuff film.
In 1990, NIN hit the road for The Pretty Hate Machine Tour Series, opening for Peter Murphy and The Jesus and Mary Chain. This tour developed into a world tour that continued through the Lollapolooza tour in 1991. Reznor's onstage antics became increasingly aggressive resulting in smashed equipment and ecstatic fans.
After disillusion with the TVT record label and trying to record music under various pseudonyms to get around the label's insistence that NIN assume a more synthpop sound for their follow-up album, Reznor and Mark Ellis started recording in secret. TVT eventually traded NIN over to Interscope, which encouraged Reznor to make the music he wanted to and also helped him set-up his own label, Nothing. In 1992, Reznor released
, Nothing's first album, an EP featuring six songs and two bonus tracks. Heavier and harder than the band's previous album, two of the tracks off
, "Wish" and "Happiness in Slavery" won NIN two Grammy awards for Best Metal Performance, the first two of twelve subsequent Grammy nominations.
Having moved into an LA residence famous for being the site of the Tate Murders (perpetrated by cult leader, Charles Manson) controversy continued to dog Reznor when the music video for "Happiness in Slavery" was universally banned. The footage featured Bob Flanagan naked on a machine which pleasured, tortured and eventually killed him. Continuing allong these graphic lines, Reznor's videos for "Pinion" and "Help Me I'm In Hell" featured a toilet flushing into the mouth of a person in bondage and a young man kidnapped, tortured and killed respectively. Although these videos were never officially released, they were circulated amongst covert tape trading groups at the time.
Living and recording at his LA home dubbed Le Pig, Reznor chose to record rather than tour and began work on
The Downward Spiral
released in 1994. Influenced by Bowie and Pink Floyd,
The Downward Spiral
features a range of moods as the music seems to follow the psychological development of a central character. The most successful NIN's album to date, the album's success was anchored by the singles "Closer," "
" (nominated for a Grammy and later covered by Johnny Cash), "March of the Pigs" and "Piggy." The video for "Closer" directed by Mark Romanek received heavy rotation on MTV2 after extensive editing, the original considered too graphic once again for most watchers. The video is an industrial take on the lab of a 19th century mad scientist complete with animal cruelty, religious symbols including a monkey suffering crucifixion, graphic sexual images and a variety of S&M/bondage paraphernalia. Reznor himself dons an S&M mask while swinging in shackles, which only added to the controversial content.
Reznor embarked on the Self Destruct Tour, culminating in a mud-drenched Woodstock '94 performance.
The Downward Spiral
album and tour garnered NIN both critical acclaim and a horde of new fans, catapulting the relatively unknown industrial act onto the mainstream charts with significant, but censored, radio play. After the tour, Reznor took a break from NIN, working on several soundtrack projects. Reznor produced the soundtrack for
Natural Born Killers
directed by Oliver Stone, developed the music and sound effects for the first person shooter video game
and produced the soundtrack for David Lynch's
Lost Highway
. The soundtrack for
Lost Highway
spawned the single release of "The Perfect Drug." The video, again directed by Romanek, features a father mourning his dead son in a Gothic mansion while losing himself to absinthe addiction, perhaps prophetic of Reznor's later battles with alcoholism and drug addiction.
In 2005, NIN released their long overdue fourth full-length album,
With Teeth
, written in the shadow of Reznor's battle with alcoholism and substance abuse. Singles include "The Hand That Feeds" and "Every Day is Exactly The Same" but the album was generally slammed by critics as being unoriginal and lacking in signature Reznor creativity.
NIN followed up the mediocre success of
With Teeth
with their 2007 offering,
Year Zero
, a concept album critical of the US government's approach to politics. The album's story is set in 2022, in an America ravaged by terrorism now operating under a Christian theocracy while distributing a drug designed to make the masses apathetic. Rebel movements from 2022 travel back in time to warn 2007 Americans of the coming apocalypse. This album met with critical acclaim but failed to perform in the charts. Although Reznor planned to create a movie adaptation of the album, that idea has since been superseded by HBO and BBC interest in developing a miniseries for TV.
In 2008, Reznor released two albums -
Ghosts I-IV
The Slip
- under creative commons license, making them available for free download on NIN's official website. The albums were surprisingly popular, receiving over 5 million downloads. Since 2009, Reznor has officially put NIN on indefinite hiatus while working on side projects including How to Destroy Angels with his wife Mariqueen Maandig, and Atticus Ross. Reznor and Ross worked together on the soundtrack for the film
The Social Network
, winning a Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Score 2010. Reznor and Ross again collaborated on the score for the 2011 film
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Trent Reznor appeared fleetingly in the 1987 Michael J. Fox movie
Light Of Day
, where he's part of a Synth-Pop band who aren't much good.
Trent Reznor married Mariqueen Maandig in October 2009. They have two sons, Lazarus Echo (born October 10, 2010) and Balthazar, (born December 31, 2011). Reznor settled on his boys' names ahead of their births, but admitted to Scotland's
The Daily Record
that he would have had a battle on his hands with his in-laws if he'd had a daughter. "With those names, the boys are going to have to learn how to fight," he laughed. "The in-laws are fine with it. The children were going to be stuck with those names regardless. But if there was a female, we were going to have a punch-up for sure."

Under Emily's Sky(1997)
A novel by Ann Alma
During a camping trip, 11-year-old Lee finds herself on a rough trail in a Vancouver Island forest. Halfway to an abandoned homestead, Lee trips and is knocked unconscious. She awakens in a world unfamiliar - all the usual landmarks have disappeared and the terrain is unpopulated except for a strange trailer and a herd of dogs. Lee investigates only to find an ornery woman at an easel who says she's Emily Carr, and a family from the Depression-torn Prairies illegally logging the island's mighty cedars.

"Frankly, I don't understand. Your performance is slipping. Look at all these refusals on transports. You're 2 percent below the minimum."
I'm in the boss's office, called to the carpet. He's got a new clock on the wall. I look up at; it's got the company logo across it. I've been in here so much over the past 6 months I think the chair is conforming to my ass.
I'm in trouble because I told a patient "holler."
This, of course, has only been on item in a long line of infractions:
-Slightly uncleanshaven, one shift.
-Ran a YELLOW light. Then was accused of lying about it.
-4 records completed late.
-Argued with the local trauma line; gave medication without asking (the ER physician complimented me for the same call, and was most assuredly NOT concerned about my lack of asking permission.)
I tune back into my boss. "....repeated infractions of policy. Why are you such a disciplinary problem?"
"I don't think I'm a problem," I say.
He stares at me. About 30 seconds go by.
I've lost my taste for everything here. The apathy I feel is all encompassing and every day at work is a struggle. I've never felt like this about anything. I'm not even sweating. If I get fired at this point, I could care
less. I can no longer stand the weaselly politics and back stabbing and
I've lost my taste for the upper management's tactics.
I guess this is burnout.
"I'm putting you on probation. 90 days. If you have one more infraction, you will be terminated." He closes my folder. "I think you need to go back to Backwater." There's no threat in that sentance, but his voice is gravid with suggestion and...anger. Is he really this mad?
I think of Backwater, another service area in our company. I'm burnt....but....it could work.
I spend the next three months off the radar...my boss never misses an opportunity to praise me in front of his boss - I get compliment letters every other month or so, and at staff meetings he pulls me to his side with a big shitting grin and compliments me, hitching himself to the praise wagon, taking credit where he is due none. But when other employees are praised on our company's website, my name is absent from the rosters; the compliments are filed into my personnel file and he does not speak to me about them personally.
On day 91, he shakes my hand and tells me what an improvement I've made and that he's glad I'm finally listening to his leadership. I give him a big shiteating grin and shake his hand. The next day I'm weighing my options about other employment or going back to school. Instead, I put in my request to go back to Backwater. Maybe there's still a little life in me after all.

KATIE ZERR: Where do we draw the racism line?
The revelation this week that the Food Network's southern belle Paula Deen had used a racial slur and had at one time considered a plantation style wedding with an all black serving staff shouldn't have surprised anyone.
Deen was raised in a different South, where it has taken a very long time for some Southerners to let go of what was considered right 50 or so years ago.
One only has to visit some places in the South today to hear racial slurs are still used by the general public.
In fact, if one would listen closely, derogatory terms used to describe black men are thrown around more today than in recent past, mostly when people are discussing President Barack Obama.
No matter how loudly they deny they would use such slurs, one only has to listen to discussions about politics in certain circles and the words will pop into the conservation. If a person uses a term among people of like mind, it will eventually slip when others are around, especially in a relaxed atmosphere.
Those who don't believe this happening in all parts of this country are naive. We claim to have evolved, but our words prove that some of us have not.
A perfect example of this is the outrage over a Cheerios commercial that included an inter-racial family. So many logged on a website to complain and voice their outrage that the company closed down the site.
Those who believe this racism and prejudice does not exist need only to surf the web, read comments on news stories or some blogs and both can be found alive and well in all parts of our country.
Deen was wrong to use racial slurs, but in a time when the words have had a re-birth, should she be so severely punished as to loose everything she has worked for?
She said she is confused because she hears the words used in the workplace among the young black workers.
It is confusing to some who find disgusting words, including those to describe blacks, Native Americans and gender references, are used regularly by those same groups.
Shouldn't respect be respect in all cultures? Who has the right to say if one person uses the word it is racist, but it is okay for another to use the same word?
People are now jumping from the Paula Deen brand like rats from a sinking ship. That is the nature of our politically correct society.
But have we gone too far with the politically correctness?
It seems daily there is some person in the limelight issuing a public apology for something he or she said or did.
There are those who need to apologize, but for others the need to apologize is confusing.
If a person is raised to believe that a gay lifestyle is against religious beliefs, is an apology necessary for stating that fact?
Waters are muddied on these types of issues and it seems that we need to find a middle ground. In some cases there are no right or wrong answers. Where do we draw the line?
Demanding an apology for every statement involving a hot button issue, whether or not it is truly needed, only creates an atmosphere where people are reading apologies written by their publicist or lawyer, not really apologizing.
There is a distinct difference between a belief and ignorance and words show that difference.
As this world evolves in lightning speed, it is difficult for mankind to keep up. We are expected to accept people of all races and religions as equal. If we continue to hold on to the attitudes of earlier generations, we will be incorrect.
Was Paula Deen wrong? According to this time, absolutely.
Was she wrong according to the South in which she was raised? Probably not.
That is no excuse, it is just reality.
We must remember that words are extremely powerful. Words show whether or not we claim to be who or what we are.
Claiming that we are not racists or prejudiced does not make it true.
