Case studies
Maria J. (former IVDU) is 32 weeks gestation, tested HIV negative at her 1st prenatal visit during the second trimester. This is her 3rd pregnancy, she has a history of STDs and genital herpes. She reports that her partner sometimes refuses to wear a condom and he "gets very angry about it, especially when he's had a few drinks." This visit she complains about a yellowish vaginal discharge that itches.
Ms. R is admitted from the ER fully dilated and pushing. According to her chart, she had 2 prenatal visits for care and this is her 4th baby. Her history leads you to believe she is at risk for HIV.
Ms. M was not offered an HIV test during her prenatal care. She consented to have a rapid test during labor. The result of the test is negative.
Ms M: asks for reassurance that the negative test is truly negative
Mrs. Q's prenatal record does not indicate an HIV test during this pregnancy. She's a private patient of the acting Chief of OB.
When the nurse offers Mrs Q. rapid HIV testing she says: "What kind of woman do you think I am?"
Ms. G. has just been admitted to L&D. No HIV test results are on her chart. Her husband and her mother are with her. The family speaks little English.
Husband: concerned about wife; keeps asking for "DOCTOR"
Mother: refuses to leave her daughter

"If the only prayer you ever say in your life
is thank you, it will be enough." - Meister Eckhart
Deo Gratias is Latin for "Thanks be to God." Remembering to give thanks for all of our blessings, big and small, helps us to find God in our everyday moments and gives us an attitude of gratitude! I invite you to share your blessings here on Wednesdays. Be sure to leave your link! God bless!
1. Working on my retreat that I am giving this weekend. The process is always interesting because I always have to work right up to the last minute, worrying and fretting and yet it all comes together. So maybe the Holy Spirit really is in charge!! Deo gratias!
2. Celebrated two of our grandchildren's birthdays last weekend. My son and his family are on vacation at a beach near us. It was a wonderful day! Deo gratias!
3. I am grateful for all the men and women who are serving our country, especially my grandson who is in the US Navy. Deo gratias!
4. I am late with this Gratitude meme because the long weekend got me all mixed up on what day it is! However, I am grateful for the extra day of rest. Deo gratias!
5. Thank you, Lord, for phones with cameras so I could get this picture of my grandchildren with their birthday cake. Deo gratias!

Greg Maddux doesn't want to discuss starting on Opening Day until the Chicago Cubs make a decision.
"They haven't said anything to me and when they do, we'll talk about it," Maddux said after pitching five innings and earning his first win of the spring in the Cubs' 6-4 victory over the Oakland Athletics yesterday in Phoenix.
Rockies center fielder Preston Wilson, trying to recover from two left knee surgeries, played in back-to-back games for the first time this spring. . . .
Shawn Chacon, who has missed two starts for the Rockies because of a sore hamstring, will not start against Seattle on Monday. Instead, he will pitch a simulated game either Sunday or Monday.
Cubs Manager Dusty Baker suggested that Maddux is a strong possibility to make the start with Mark Prior and Kerry Wood both injured.
Maddux, who lost his last Opening Day start with the Atlanta Braves in 2003, is 6-1 in eight career starts in the opener. . . .
Phoenix Suns star Steve Nash was a visitor to the A's locker room and met with Oakland starter Rich Harden, a fellow Canadian. . . .
The Kansas City Royals reassigned outfielder Brian Hunter to their minor league camp. Hunter, signed in February, hit .250 in 10 spring games.
The 34-year-old outfielder, who twice led the AL in steals and was the majors' top base-stealer in 1997, has not played in the big leagues since 2003. He was released last May by the St. Louis Cardinals' Class AAA Memphis club.

text: So I've been using Aloysius Snow ROM (which I like very much) - and one of the things I like is that to unlock the screen I have to swipe from left to right (and, even better, if I swipe the other direction, I can toggle sound off and sound on - fast way to mute/unmute!). I was thinking of trying a different ROM, just for the heck of it, but I very much do not want to go with a ROM that requires a top to bottom unlock swipe. The question, therefore, is - which direction does which ROM require for unlocking? Sorry if this is totally weird - but I'm curious.

Sun 5/14
The night before Con Brio headed into the studio to record their first full-length album, 23-year-old Ziek McCarter had a dream. In it, the singer received a visit from his father, an Army veteran who died at the hands of East Texas police in 2011. His father delivered an invitation: Come with me to paradise.
McCarter woke up with a song in his bones. "It was one of the most spiritual moments of my life," he recalls. It was up to him, he knew, to rise above injustice, and to perform in a way that lifted up those around him as well. To make Con Brio's music a place of serenity, compassion -- even euphoria -- right here on earth.
Paradise, which saw the San Francisco band teaming with legendary producer Mario Caldato Jr. (Beastie Boys, Beck, Seu Jorge), is the result: a declaration of independence you can dance to; an assertion of what can happen when the human spirit is truly free.
Formed in 2013, Con Brio is the offspring of seven musicians with diverse backgrounds but a shared love for the vibrant Bay Area funk and psychedelic-soul sound pioneered by groups like Sly & the Family Stone.
By 2015, when the band self-produced their debut EP, Kiss the Sun, Con Brio had already become a West Coast institution on the strength of their magnetic live show, with McCarter's swiveling hips, splits and backflips earning him frequent comparisons to a young Michael Jackson or James Brown.
After a busy 2015 spent touring the U.S. and Europe, playing alongside veterans Galactic and Fishbone, and racking up critical acclaim on proving grounds like Austin City Limits -- where PopMatters declared Con Brio "the best new live band in America" -- they headed home to parlay their momentum, chemistry and tight live sound into a full-length record.
In an era when much has been made of the "death of the album," there's no question that Paradise; released July 15th, is a fully-formed journey -- a trip made all the more immersive by Caldato's raw, live style of production. "We tried to create a narrative in the studio, in the same way that we segue between songs live," explains McCarter of the record's arc.
From the first primal wail of Benjamin Andrews' electric guitar on the title track -- Paradise is bookended by intro and outro versions -- the album tells a story about modern life through its contradictions: "Liftoff" speaks of an urge to fly, to transcend the day-to-day with a starry, bird's-eye view. "Hard Times" brings us crashing back to earth with the struggles of city life, inequality, and a fractured society desperate for healing. "Money" is a revolution, a rejection of societal pressure to equate success with a paycheck and abandon one's dreams in the process.
"Free & Brave," the band's most overtly political anthem, is also arguably its most infectious. Over a driving R&B groove courtesy of veteran rhythm section Jonathan Kirchner and Andrew Laubacher (bass and drums), McCarter name-checks Trayvon Martin and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Clearly inspired by his own personal relationship with police brutality, the song is equal parts heartbreaking and hopeful.
"'Free & Brave' is in part a response to the Black Lives Matter movement, but it was also created to serve as a reminder -- to myself and to whoever finds joy in that song -- that there is a light there. We don't have to get bogged down, we don't have to feel helpless," says McCarter. "We might not see it on a daily basis, but we are still 'the land of the free and home of the brave'...I still take pride in that, in what pieces of joy and happiness we can create here with our actions."
Of course, songs about love and passion remain Con Brio's native tongue. (At a recent Australian festival in which the band shared a bill with D'Angelo, one journalist told McCarter his sex appeal had eclipsed that of his longtime idol. McCarter continues to have no comment.) So it's a refreshing surprise that the strongest love song on Paradise, in fact, is "Honey," a sweet, spacious and vulnerable tune that allows the band's horn section, Brendan Liu and Marcus Stephens, to shine. Though the band's built a reputation on sonic bravado, it's choices like these -- moments in which the music's power flows from its subtlety -- that truly highlight where Con Brio is going.
In the second half of 2016, Con Brio embarked on an ambitious international touring schedule, including stops at the lion's share of major American music festivals (Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Summerfest and San Francisco's own Outside Lands); Fuji Rock, Japan's largest annual music event; Montreal Jazz Fest, the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, the Netherlands; London; Paris; with many more international dates to come throughout the year.
Which is not to say they're intimidated. After performing most of these songs live throughout the past year, the team is running on adrenaline, and they're thrilled to finally put this record in people's hands. To bring old fans along for the journey, to help new fans lose themselves in a beat or a message. To spread music that, hopefully, shakes away the daily grind -- and nurtures listeners' dreams about what their version of paradise on earth might look like, even for the duration of a song.
Ziek McCarter already knows what his looks like, because Con Brio's building it. And from where he's sitting, they're well past ready for liftoff.
"We don't want to walk, we don't want to drive," he says with a laugh. "We want to fly. We want to levitate."

Since Supergirl has brought to the Arrowverse (although the crossover is yet to come) fresh #DCComics characters like #MissMartian and #Superboy, we have started suspecting that a #YoungJustice team is coming to the #CW's Superhero Universe. Superboy and Miss Martian are vital members of the Young Justice and we already have the rest of the team members scattered among the #Arrowverse.
See Also:
There are quite a few hints spread in all four shows that support this theory. Here are some of them:
A Rootless Kid Flash/Wally West In The Flash
In the last episode of The Flash, Wally West seemed to be Alchemy's latest target. He started having dreams about his Flashpoint life — a timeline where he is the Flash, or Kid Flash, as Barry names him — and, at the end of the episode, he decides to help the team defeat Alchemy by responding to his call. He ends up hit by #Savitar, the Speed God, and transforms. By doing so, we can already tell that he will acquire the speedster powers and finally turn into Kid Flash on Earth 1.
With that happening, Central City will have two speedsters to save the day, but how will Wally feel as a sidekick? He already has the feeling that he doesn't fit in Barry's team, that he's not making any real difference. He may accept to be Barry's sidekick, as well as it happens in the comics, but I think that his way to react to things prepares a path for him starting a new project and that could only be the Young Justice. The crossover that will happen between all four shows (#Arrow, #TheFlash, #Supergirl and #DCLegendsOfTomorrow) could be the perfect occasion for Wally to meet the other sidekicks and start a team of their own.
Artemis's Situation On Arrow
Although she's willing to fight alongside Oliver Queen, Artemis is not quite happy about making team with the Green Arrow. As we learn from Young Justice, where Artemis made her first appearance, she's more of a lone wolf, independent and self-centered, in need of a team only when the situation calls for it. As for the situation of Artemis in Arrow, we can easily see that she's not happy with Oliver's way of managing things, fights, and his own team of sidekicks. I bet that if she'd had a chance she'll act the same way as Wally, dumping Green Arrow and finding her place in a Young Justice team.
Gotham City Is A Confirmed Reality In The Arrowverse
Something seems wrong talking about Young Justice when we lack a Robin in the show, Robin being maybe the most important founding member of Young Justice. But that may easily change, too. Until this fall, Gotham City was just a far-away dream for fans to see in the Arrowverse, and with the #DCEU hitting theaters and #Gotham streaming on #FOX, the possibility of including #Batman-related characters in the Arrowverse was tiny. Now, Gotham City is a confirmed reality in the Arrowverse, and that was made clear by the first episode of Supergirl. When #Superman saves a father and son in "The Adventures of Supergirl," the father says: "We're moving back to Gotham City." Later in the show, Maggie Sawyer makes her appearance, a police officer that originally activated in the Major Crimes Unit of the #GCPD (Gotham City Police Department). Now that Gotham City is a reality in Supergirl, we might as well see a #Robin or even a #Batgirl heading to National City.
Laurel Lance Was Teased To Return To The Arrowverse
We don't know how will they bring her back in the show, but Katie Cassidy's Laurel Lance is set to return to Arrow. #CW has recently released new photos of the 100th episode (the crossover) featuring Laurel Lance alive and well, in a wedding dress.
You can see more of those photos right here.
As we know, the Black Canary was the one in charge of the Young Justice. She was their mentor and, if Laurel comes back in the Arrowverse, a reconnection with her past as Black Canary is very likely to happen. She may not find her place in the new Team Arrow after her long absence, so doing something new, like being a mentor for a bunch of young superhumans, seems a very good thing to explore in the show.
Gorilla City Is Teased In The Flash
Another founding member of the Young Justice that is missing from the Arrowverse is #Aqualad and he didn't seem a possibility until the last episode of The Flash. It wasn't #Atlantis that was teased in the show, but #GorillaCity, making Atlantis a possibility. When Cisco asked HR if they have a Gorilla Grodd on their Earth, Wells immediately responded: "Yeah, we have many." So, if Gorilla City is a possibility in the Arrowverse, Atlantis must be too.
What About Caitlin Snow?
She doesn't seem to fit in the Flash Team either. Will Caitlin become Killer Frost and turn into a villain in The Flash, or will she choose to do something else with her powers? In the comics, we didn't have a "not-villain" Killer Frost type ever, but Caitlin Snow could make a difference for the Arrowverse. If she decides to make use of her powers instead of hiding them, she could develop better in a sidekicks team like Young Justice instead of Team Flash.
Watch the intro to the animated Young Justice show and start thinking of other ways we might see this property make its way into the Arrowverse:
How do you feel about this theory? Will we see a Young Justice team in the Arrowverse? Leave your thoughts in a comment below. Arrow airs every Wednesday, The Flash airs every Tuesday, Supergirl airs every Monday, and DC Legends of Tomorrow every Thursday on CW.

Policies and Procedures
Policy 1112 – Graduate Student Health Insurance Program (GSHIP)
May 16, 2005
August 1, 2016
August 1, 2016
Associate Provost for Finance and Academic Planning
Executive Director of Campus Health Services
University Controller
Accounting Services
Policy Statement
Graduate students are eligible for enrollment in the Graduate Student Health Insurance Program (GSHIP), (frequently referred to as the RA/TA Health Insurance plan) provided the following four criteria are met:
- The student must be registered as a full-time graduate student in good standing at the University.
- The student is functioning as a Research Assistant (RA), Teaching Assistant (TA), Fellow or Trainee.
- The student's service and non-service appointments must be based on academically-related endeavors within an academic program/department.
- The student must receive a minimum prescribed compensation for services, as a Teaching Assistant or Research Assistant, or receive a fellowship or traineeship award during a policy year from an appropriate source of University funds related to their academic appointment(s). The minimum prescribed compensation is updated for each plan year.
Tuition remission, compensation for services as a temporary student employee, or payments received directly from an affiliated foundation or external entity do not apply toward these eligibility criteria.
Other provisions of GSHIP:
- The policy year is August 1 through July 31. However, similar to employment insurance, students' termination from GSHIP coincides with the completion of their RA, TA, Fellow, Trainee position and/or completion of academic studies.
- Effective Aug. 1, 2014, the GSHIP plan can no longer be offered as an employer provided plan and thus enrollees will not have access to COBRA upon plan discontinuation. The COBRA benefit will end as of July 31, 2014, for all current COBRA enrollees and those who would have been eligible to sign up for COBRA on the basis of their GSHIP coverage ending within the previous 60 days.
- The same sources of funds, which provide financial support to the graduate student, must also pay the proportionate cost of the health insurance premiums with one exception. If the source of funds include Federal Work-Study program funds, the employing department is responsible for the proportionate share of the health insurance premiums. If a graduate student is being paid from an outside source directly and is not being paid by University funds through University payroll or accounts payable or receive funds through their student account, then they are not eligible for GSHIP.
- The premium cost per student for annual coverage under the program will be announced no later than 30 days before the plan year begins.
- Campus Health Services will provide care covered by the Student Health Fee. GSHIP will provide health care coverage that exceeds Campus Health's scope.
- Students must first pay the campus health fee, billed per semester at the Office of Student Accounts and University Receivables, in order to be eligible for the additional coverage provided under this policy. If the University has another policy that permits the waiver of fees, the student can still be eligible for the insurance policy.
- If an eligible student graduates, withdraws from the University, or ceases to perform work in the academic program before the prescribed compensation level has been earned, the insurance coverage will be terminated as authorized by the department(s). The student may seek insurance coverage through the Healthcare exchange or though employer based coverage on the basis of a qualifying event. If the student is still enrolled, but no longer qualifies for GSHIP, they may qualify to enroll in the UNC system-wide mandatory student health insurance plan.
- Graduate school insurance ends when employment is terminated. Graduate students who will not resume their position in the spring or fall terminate at the end of the semester. Ineligible students should enroll in the UNC system-wide mandatory health insurance plan or a creditable plan.
- When a student takes an approved leave of absence (LOA), termination coincides with the beginning of their leave period.
- If an eligible student withdraws under the University Medical Withdrawal Process, the graduate student health insurance will continue to be provided by the academic program/department through the end of the policy term unless termination is requested by the student.
- When an eligible student graduates, the student must be removed from the insurance program. Students who graduate in December must be removed effective December 31. Students who graduate in May must be removed effective May 31. Students who graduate in August terminate May 31 or July 31 at the discretion of the academic department.
- When the Spring semester has ended, the eligible student continues to be covered under the Graduate Student Health Insurance Program from the period of June 1 through July 31 as long as the student will be enrolled in the upcoming Fall semester. The student does not have to attend Summer sessions to be covered. However, the student must pay the campus health fee for the Summer sessions in order to receive services at Campus Health Services. If the graduate student will not return to their RA/TA position during the Fall or Spring semester insurance terminates at the end of the semester. Ineligible students should enroll in the UNC system-wide mandatory health insurance plan or a creditable plan.
- If the graduate student is not functioning as a Research Assistant (RA), Teaching Assistant (TA), Fellow or Trainee for either the Fall or Spring semester, and if the program/department documents extenuating circumstances to substantiate the appropriateness to continue insurance coverage for both the Fall and Spring semesters, then the department can make an exception to continue the student's enrollment in GSHIP. Documentation for the exception must be forwarded to the Associate Dean of Student Affairs and the GSHIP Administrator for approval.
Reason for Policy
This policy provides eligibility criteria and other provisions of the Graduate Health Insurance Plan (GSHIP).
GSHIP is a separate plan from the UNC system-wide mandatory student health insurance plan. Graduate students with a status of RA, TA, Fellow or Trainee should continue to be enrolled in the GSHIP plan through their academic program. GSHIP is a blanket accident and illness policy with a different set of benefits from the system wide student health insurance plan. Students cannot be enrolled in both plans.
GSHIP is a separate plan from insurance programs for Clinical Fellows, Postdoctoral Trainees, and Postdoctoral Research Associates.
Special Situations
In August 2009, the UNC Board of Governors approved the implementation of a "hard waiver" student health insurance plan on all sixteen four-year campuses beginning in fall 2010. The term "hard waiver" means any graduate or undergraduate student meeting three specific criteria (enrolled in 6 credit hours if an undergraduate or 1 credit hour if a graduate student, degree-seeking, and eligible to pay the student health fee) is required to show evidence of an existing "creditable coverage" health insurance policy or enroll in the UNC system-wide plan.
In order to waive out of the UNC system-wide mandatory health insurance plan, graduate students must submit information to verify enrollment in GSHIP at www.bcbsnc.com/unc or they will be charged a premium for health insurance coverage, per semester, on their University account.
- 1112.1 - Verifying Student Eligibility for the Graduate Student Health Insurance Program (GSHIP)
- 1112.2 - Enrolling in the Graduate Student Health Insurance Program (GSHIP)
- 1112.3 - Paying Graduate Students
- 1112.4 - Paying Graduate Student Health Insurance Program (GSHIP) Insurance Premium
Additional Information
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does "a registered graduate student in good standing" include?
A: Please refer to the Graduate School's Handbook for registration requirements.
Q: If a student is not eligible for the Graduate Student Health Insurance Plan, is there other insurance available?

Q: If an eligible student graduates, withdraws from the University, or ceases to perform work in the academic program after the prescribed compensation level has been earned, what will happen with the Graduate Student Health Insurance?

Issue: You must walk a fine line between allowing employees' religious expression and preventing that expression from harming the business or creating unbalanced treatment of employees.
Benefit: Federal law says you can deny a religious accommodation request if it would create an "undue hardship" for your organization.
Action: Educate managers about your organization's religious rights and duties under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
The people who work for your organization are clearly entitled to their own religious beliefs, and they're allowed to show that religious expression at work ... up to a point.
When can you say "Stop"? Federal law says you don't have to accommodate a religious expression if it creates an "undue hardship" for your organization. Also, you can stop an employee's religious practice if it interferes with the rights of other employees, especially with your responsibility to create a harassment-free environment for everyone.
Recent case: When Hewlett-Packard (H-P) posted workplace-diversity posters that included a picture of someone identified as being homosexual, employee Richard Peterson protested by posting two scriptures in his cubicle that condemned gays. When the company asked him to remove the scriptures, he agreed to do so only if the company removed the diversity posters. H-P removed Peterson's scriptures and placed him on paid leave of absence to allow him to reconsider his decision. When he returned, he posted the scriptures again, so H-P fired him for insubordination.
Peterson sued, alleging religious discrimination and claiming that the diversity campaign offended fundamentalist Christians. A lower court rejected Peterson's claim, and a federal appeals court agreed.
Court's reasoning: Peterson was fired not because of his religious beliefs, but because he was insubordinate and his anti-gay postings violated the company's anti-harassment policy. The only accommodation Peterson was willing to accept (removing the company's diversity posters) would have im-posed an undue hardship on the company. (Peterson v. Hewlett-Packard Co., 9th Cir., 2004)

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Storm Angus batters UK with TWO WEEKS of rain leaving homes flooded and 'OAP dead'
STORM Angus terrorised Britain today – leaving homes flooded and cars stranded while an OAP is feared to have frozen to death.
Cars, homes and roads were left marooned underwater after a fornight's worth of rained soaked Britons in just a few hours.
The tragic pensioner was found dead in her Glasgow home in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Cops have launched an investigation over fears she froze to death hours after the mercury plummeted below zero at the weekend.
However, her death is not being treated as suspicious, police confirmed.
Wet weather sweeping in from the south west led to floods in Bristol and the surrounding areas.
Shocking photos shared on Facebook and Twitter show cars submerged underwater on roads in the Whitchurch and Fishponds areas of Bristol.
Worried residents have called the floods the "worst they've ever had".
Lee Gitsham, 43, was confronted by 2ft-3ft (0.6m-1m) of water which had left several cars submerged at 8am this morning.
He said: "I had to go through an alternative route because the bottom of the road was flooded. Parked cars were submerged in water. There were two drivers who tried to get through but got stuck. It was at wing mirror level so it must have been about 2ft-3ft of water.
"I have lived in that area for nearly 10 years. I have never seen it as bad as that. We have had a bit of flooding where the water has covered the pavement but never where it covered car bonnets."
Bobbie Massiah's car was written off because of the storm yesterday.
The 23-year-old healthcare assistant, of Whitchurch, said: "It has flooded before but never this bad."
The M4, M5 and M32 in the south west are congested as a result of the weather with delays as long as 90 minutes in places.
A spokesman for Network Rail said the line between Bristol Parkway and Swindon had been closed due to "heavy flooding".
Trains between Cardiff and London Paddington have been cancelled and diversions are in place on other routes, he added.
The Met Office has amber warnings in place for rain for the whole of Monday in Devon, Somerset and Torbay.
There are yellow weather warnings for up to 60mm of rainfall in place for Bath and north east Somerset, Bournemouth, Bristol, Cornwall, Dorset, Gloucestershire, north Somerset, Plymouth, Poole, south Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.
Some of the showers will be violent and thundery, forecaster said.
"With more heavy rain on its way, people in the North and South West need to be prepared for the risk of flooding"Alison Bapiste, national flood duty manager at the Environmental Agency
Alison Bapiste, national flood duty manager at the Environmental Agency, said: "Large parts of southern England have already experienced the impacts of Storm Angus this weekend.
"With more heavy rain on its way, people in the North and South West need to be prepared for the risk of flooding.
"Environment Agency teams have been out working through the night and we are now preparing for further flooding as rain continues over the next couple of days.
"People should remember not to drive through flood water and be aware travel may be disrupted.
"Environment Agency teams will clear blockages in rivers, continue to issue flood warnings and may operate flood gates and sea defences."
A spokesman for the Met Office said: "A further broad area of heavy, persistent rain will move northwards across south west England.
"Heavy and possibly thundery showers are likely to follow. There could be as much as 60mm possible locally through the whole of Monday.
"The ground has been left very wet from Saturday night's rain and this increases the risk of further flooding."
The first storm of season brought gusts of 80mph across the UK on the weekend and left more than 1,000 homes without power in the south west.
Fire crews battled to pump water out of homes and off roads.
Eleven crew members had to rescued from a cargo ship after it crashed into a stone barge off the coast of Dover, Kent, and began taking on water yesterday.
The storm also wreaked havoc onboard P&O ferry.

Pablo Escobar Net Worth
Pablo Escobar Net Worth is
$30 Billion
Pablo Escobar Biography
Pablo Escobar was born on 1 December 1949, in Rionegro, Columbia, and is widely recognized as having been a major crime figure in Latin America as a cocaine trafficker and narco-terrorist, most famous for his illegal drug deals. However, a long time before this illegal business, Pablo was known as a politician. He decided it was not for him, and so started running his own business dealing with payments for political favors, based on his involvement in the drug trade.
So just how rich was Pablo Escobar? With a net worth of $30 billion, Escobar was considered to be one of the richest men in the world, earned almost entirely from his command of a large part of the Colombian drug trade.
Pablo Escobar Net Worth $30 Billion
Pablo Escober was one of nine children born into the family of Hemilda Gaviria and Abel de Jesus Dari Escobar. His mom was a school teacher and his father was a farmer. Pablo Escobar's net worth started growing when he was still a teenager, from the profits of mostly petty crime. In particular, along with his brothers Pablo used to steal gravestones, which were sold to Escobar`s uncle who was running a monument business. Pablo's brothers still deny that the business was illegal, which may be true or not, but this was how Pablo Escobar started growing his net worth.
Following this beginning, Pablo Escobar started running his own illegal businesses, which included smuggling cigarettes and alcohol, stealing cars as well as selling fake lottery tickets. More seriously, in 1970 Pablo Escobar's net worth was boosted after kidnapping a Medellin executive and gaining $100,000 from the ransom. After that, Escobar decided that the best way to increase his net worth was to start working in the sphere of drug dealing: his brother Roberto was his accountant, and has since claimed that over 15 tons of cocaine, worth $0.5 billion, was moved from Columbia to the United States almost every day.
This was a really successful business, and Pablo's life was flourishing. Big sums of money were not deposited in the local banks, but he accumulated such a great net worth which was ridiculous for the time and place, and actually too much to go unnoticed or unchallenged. Along with his brothers, Pablo warehoused it alongside wheat. However, this was not the best decision ever made as the moisture and the rats damaged some cash. It has been claimed that over 10% of his stored cash was eaten by rats. Hence, if not for these animals, Pablo Escobar would have had an even bigger net worth.
Pablo Escobar flourished for so long because he 'bought' – bribed – local police and legal and administrative authorities, which also included getting himself elected to the Chamber of Representatives in 1982. Still, his activities could not go unnoticed, as he had a fleet of aircraft moving illegal shipments internationally, plus using boats. At one point, shipments to the USA were supposedly up to 11 tons of cocaine in one aircraft, and his Medellin cartel controlled 80 % of the world cocaine market. However, Escobar was also something of a philanthrpist, and the local poor benefited considerably from his easily-affordable generosity, which made him relatively popular with the poor in his country.
Nevertheless, the US authorities eventually persuaded incorruptable Colombian security forces to cooperate with them, to bring an end to Pablo Escobar's illegal empire, and he was eventually cornered and killed in December 1993, at that time being one of the richest people in the world.
If Pablo Escobar had a distinct private life, it revolved around his wife Maria – who was 15 when he married her in 1976 – and their son and daughter. It was actually a mistake by his son which led to his being located, and resulted in his death.

Dummy Guns For Sale, Sig, Ruger, Kahr, Hk, S&w, 1911, Etc.
woodandsteel replied to woodandsteel's topic in Miscellaneous/OtherMy mistake, all! The Sig dummy is a P226, not a P220. It had been a while since I had looked at it and I remembered it wrong. I fixed the original post.
Dummy Guns For Sale, Sig, Ruger, Kahr, Hk, S&w, 1911, Etc.
woodandsteel posted a topic in Miscellaneous/OtherI have a collection of dummy guns I'm selling. Would love to sell as an entire package, but will sell individually. The models included are as follows: Rings Mfg Colt 1911 5 inch barrel Rings Mfg Glock 9/40 subcompact (26/27/33) Rings Mfg Sig P226(No Rail) ***Edited: I had this listed as a P220 before. Sorry for the mistake*** Rings Mfg Springfield XD9/40 Subcompact (XD9sc, XD40sc) Rings Mfg Springfield XDm9/40 full size Rings Mfg Springfield Micro Compact 1911 ***Corrected** ***NOTE: I cut off the left side thumb safety and taped in the safe "cocked and locked" position for holster molding purposes. It can be positioned or glued into either position. Rings Mfg Kahr PM9/CM9 Rings Mfg Kahr PM9/CM9 spare magazine Rings Mfg Heckler & Koch HK45c Rings Mfg Heckler & Koch HK45c Spare magazine (added a wooden dummy round to the top) Rings Mfg Taurus Model 85 revolver (Though not identical, this can also be used to make holsters for Smith & Wesson J-frame revolvers) Rings Mfg Smith & Wesson Sigma 9/40 Duncan's Ruger P345, Aluminum dummy. (Heavy! Rare. Could use some dremeling around the ejection port for more detail there.) I also have a 10 round Glock 22 magazine. Can be used to mold magazine holders for both 9mm and .40 Glock magazines. This is approximately $600 worth of dummies. A great start for a holster maker or sell them individually. Will sell the whole collection for $300 shipped to continental US, with seller paying paypal fees. Will sell guns individually for $30 shipped. Mags $15 shipped or $10 if combined with a gun. Check your local laws. Will not ship anywhere where prohibited. If it is prohibited where you are, the auction will not include the 10 round Glock mag. Email me directly at email@example.com with questions or to purchase. Thanks!

Do You Heat-Dry Your Items?
woodandsteel replied to JoelR's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife SheathesI heat dry in a countertop convection/toaster oven. It does seems to harden the holsters a bit more than just air drying, but I could be imagining it. The bigger factor for me is dry time. I live in the humid south, and it would take days to dry otherwise.

Holsters For Ruger Lcp
woodandsteel replied to leatherworklee's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife SheathesYour work looks very nice, and I don't want to discourage you, but I don't think that design is a good idea. A person carries that type of gun for self defense, in which case they need to be able to deploy it very quickly, and have a solid shooting grip on it. A pocket holster that encloses the grip and has a retention strap prevents that several times over. The person would have to fish it out of the pocket, possibly switch hands, unsnap the strap, push their fingers into the pouch, pull the gun out, and THEN reposition the gun in their hand so they have a proper firing grip on it. All of that takes way more time than you would likely have, in a self defense situation.
Should The Leather Be Damp Before Handsewing?
woodandsteel replied to jk215's topic in Sewing LeatherYes, all of the above, I've learned from experience.
Pull-The-Dot Snap Question
woodandsteel replied to particle's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife SheathesEric, the measurements that work for me (with 6-8oz leather) is 4 1/4 inches center to center on the holes, and then I add 1/2inch on the front end of the strap and 3/8" to the back end of the strap. That gives me just enough room to rock the pull-the-dot snap onto the post, and makes the front end of the snap strap sit 1/8 inch taller than the back to get your thumb behind it. I wet mold the straps around a 1 1/2inch by 1/4inch paint stick, and then around a double layer gunbelt just to be sure. I also rub a little bit of paraffin wax onto the snap posts, which makes them snap and easier at first. I used to put a leather washer under the straps, but now mount them directly against the holster body.
New Holster Model
woodandsteel replied to malabar's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife SheathesIt's a really great looking execution of the hybrid style design. I especially like your use of the punched slot as a solution to molding and stitching around the end of the barrel. Was it a profitable design?
New Holster Model
woodandsteel replied to malabar's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife SheathesThe more I make holsters, inspect classic designs and other makers' work, and try to to come up with my own good, functional, improved designs, the more I see that most of the best design ideas have already been done before. Often when I go through the process of tweaking design ideas, I end up with the same design someone before me ended up with. Many times we're all finding the same solution to a problem. That shouldn't discourage anyone from still trying to make a new and better design but, for me, it instills more respect for the great designs and makers who have come before me. I haven't had the benefit of apprenticing with a holster maker, but with the internet I've spent a lot of time studying the work of Alessi, Del Fatti, Tony Kanaley, Lobo, Particle, K-Man, Dwight, Katsass, Brigade Gunleather, Ryan Grizzle, and many more. When I first saw Malabar's work a few weeks ago, I asked him about how he was doing it, to learn how he was doing his flat-backed holsters. I try to learn from everyone!
New Holster Model
woodandsteel replied to malabar's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife SheathesWell, as a relative newcomer (I've been making holsters just over a year) this has been a very educational thread. Let's keep it from getting nasty, though. K-man, you've got many years of experience you share from, and I appreciate the opportunity to learn from your insights. Your points make sense. On Malabar's behalf, though, Milt Sparks, Galco, and El Paso Saddlery all make flat-backed holsters, and that design does seem to add to comfort, even if it loses something in strength or retention. http://www.epsaddlery.com/pc-150-11-snap-off-elite-thumbreak.aspx When I first started making my own holsters, I made a flat-backed IWB design that is quite comfortable, and I still wear it, but I never quite got it right, and decided it was more work than it was worth. K-man, after I made that holster, I saw a picture of yours and though, "Well, shoot! That's what I was going for, and that guy already did it way better!". Why did you stop making that one?
Taking Requests For New Gun Models
woodandsteel replied to particle's topic in Gun Holsters, Rifle Slings and Knife SheathesI'm in a similar position as you. I have a full time job, wife, and other duties and can only turn out 1-2 holsters a week. I don't make much at my day job, and my wife is a grad student, so more often than not, most of the income from holsters ends up getting used for living expenses. If a dummy gun is available for the customer's gun, I've gone ahead and ordered it and just sucked it up as the cost of doing business. Most of those have ended up being used again for additional orders. Several customers have come back and ordered additional holsters for the same gun. I can't see charging a customer extra to order a dummy, or to develop a pattern, assuming it's something I'll use again, like a standard IWB, pancake, etc. Lately, though, I have started questioning whether it's worth advertising the option to do custom work, as opposed to just offering set models. I have had several custom requests for holster ideas that I know are not going to be very practical, or work well, and which have ended up requiring long email correspondences, and multiple design sketches, requiring valuable time on top of the existing orders I'm trying to fill.

What the mail must go through
From Boston, Mass., at a meeting of the American Chemical Society
After last fall's anthrax attacks, the postal service began irradiating government mail.
The result: yellowed envelopes, shrunken address windows, and brittle paper. Even worse, the sterilization process destroyed some important objects and documents.
Charles Tumosa and his coworkers at the Smithsonian Center for Materials Research and Education in Suitland, Md., say there might be a better way. For their part, the researchers compared the chemical and physical properties of irradiated and nonirradiated materials. Although the investigators found minimal irradiation damage to inks, they observed that plastics had melted and that some paper was left too brittle to fold.
Recycled paper fared worst, and some scientific-journal pages stuck together into solid blocks. Tumosa notes that the irradiation process heats objects to temperatures higher than 130C.
