Nebraska Repeals Death Penalty
The Nebraska legislature voted 30-19 to override the veto of Governor Pete Ricketts and abolish the death penalty. Nebraska becomes the 19th state to repeal the death penalty, and the 7th state to do so since 2007. It is the first predominantly Republican state to abolish the death penalty in over 40 years, and state legislators said Republican support was critical to the bipartisan repeal effort. Sen. Jeremy Nordquist said, "This wouldn't have happened without the fiscally responsible Republicans who aren't just beholden to conservative talking points, but are thoughtful about policy." Sen. Colby Coash cited fiscal concerns among his reasons for supporting repeal: "The taxpayers have not gotten the bang for their buck on this death penalty for almost 20 years. This program is broken." The sponsor of the repeal bill, Independent Senator Ernie Chambers, opened the repeal debate with a reference to the historic nature of the pending vote. "This will be the shining moment of the Nebraska Legislature," he said. "The world, by anybody's reckoning, is a place filled with darkness, contention, violence. We today can move to lift part of that cloud of darkness that has been hovering over this state for all these years."

Apple is celebrating the 1 year anniversary of podcasting on iTunes. My God, has is been that long already? Well we haven't gotten very far in a year. Most of the top programs listed are corporate and old media. Completely lost are the smaller indie podcasts, just as was predicted. I still use iTunes as a podcast client only because it can bookmark any podcast as you play it. But I don't usually find new podcasts via their directory.

Imagine you are boarding a flight back home, you get on the plane, sit and get comfortable. After 45 minutes they start bringing drinks and snacks and the movie starts. Imagine that as you are starting to watch the movie, all of a sudden the plane feels like its coming down really fast, the lights of the plane go off and the oxygen masks come down…Now imagine that everyones oxygen masks come down except for the masks on yours and few other rows and its getting harder and harder to breathe, can you imagine this scene when you are stuck inside a plane, flying at God knows how many miles up in the sky and there is nothing you can do about it? Well, that is exactly what happened to me last night.
As I was taking my second flight of the day back to Amsterdam and just as I was going to start watching the flight movie, the plane started to come down really fast, I didn't know what was going on so I tried to keep calm and hold on to my seat but that was until the lights went off all of a sudden and the oxygen masks came out, unfortunately the masks of my row didn't come out, so then is where I started to get very scared and anxious.
I think I must have been in a state of shock for around a minute because as I saw everyone getting their masks on, I couldn't put mine on since it didn't come out and the crew started shouting and running up and down the hall: SHARE THE MASKS WITH THE PEOPLE THAT DONT HAVE ONE PLEASE, THEY WONT BE ABLE TO BREATHE! But nobody was sharing their masks with me and the 2 guys next to me.
We started trying to force open the oxygen mask compartment with a credit card but It wasnt working and the air was getting more and more difficult to breathe, then is where I started to panic.
Finally the guy seating next to me managed to force open the mask compartment with a key, our masks came out, I put it on as soon as I could and started to be able to breathe normally again.
We had to do an emergency turn back to Philadelphia because the plane lost its cabin pressure and the problem was that for the people that didn't have the masks on, it was getting very difficult to breathe and now imagine you cant breathe when you are stuck in a plane.
We are just VERY LUCKY that the plane was over Boston when it happened and not in the middle of the ocean, because the pilot was able to think quick and get us back to Philadelphia to prevent a tragedy.
I don't know what was worse, the feeling of the plane going down as fast as possible because we lost cabin pressure, the fact that my oxygen mask didn't come out or the fact that as I was seeing everyone around me breathing with their masks on, I was sitting there in a state of shock and it was getting very difficult to breathe, it was almost as if I was breathing through a sponge or a piece of cloth, the air was so thin and started giving me a chest pain.
We managed to turn back and land in Philadelphia before this would turn into a tragedy and 1 hour after we landed we were put into another flight to Amsterdam, but to be honest, that LAST thing I felt like doing at that moment was getting back into another plane.
Now I am sitting back at home writing you about the scariest experience I have ever been through on a plane, I am just happy and grateful that this didnt end up in tragedy and extremely shocked at the fact that US Airways don't give maintenance to those planes and if it wasn't because we managed to force open the Oxygen mask compartment, me and the people next to me wouldn't have been able to breathe at around 37,000 feet up in the air and what shocked me the most, was that the people next to us refuse to share their oxygen with us…
EDIT: I took these 3 pictures as we were already stable and almost landing back in Philadelphia, not while the commotion was happening for those who are commenting on that.

Oh my, take care Andy! It's great to know that no tragedy happened and that you are safe!
Oh my gosh this must have been really scary for ANYONE. I am so thankful to God that nothing happen and you are safe and sound. God bless you, Andy. *sending a million hugs from the opposite end of the world*
O my! Wat eng zeg! Ik zou de komende paar jaar niet meer durven te vliegen als ik jou was.Geen zuurstof hebben is echt eng, ik heb astma dus ik weet hoe rot dat voelt. Heel fijn dat je veilig terug bent!
That is terrifying!I'm glad you're okay!
menos mal que ya stas e casa que estas bien, pero tuvo que ser horroroso, lo importante es que estas bien.Un besazo guapa.
That is so scary! I would have passed out with fear! Ugh, so glad that you made it back safelyShasie Please Facebook like my Blogger Contest List on Fashiolista
I can't believe there are seriously planes out there with essential stuff like the masks coming out NOT working! I'm kinda speechless right now, also about how no one would share. I'm glad you're back in Amsterdam and that the pilot was able to prevent a tragedy from happening.
That is absolutely frightening! I am so glad everyone made it out okay.
Que me dices!! que horror, me alegro de que estes bien. Un beso guapa
PS. I know it was after everything but STILL! I wouldn't be able to even think straight ;)

That was to be terrifying. I never hope to live it. In any case I admire the strength that you had, I shall certainly have made a heart attack. I loathe when the plane comes down(falls) just like that.I'm french,I hope that you will manage to understand me.
No me puedo imaginar el miedo que debiste pasar, gracias a Dios que todo salió bien!!Espero que ya estés tranquila y que con el tiempo esto solo quede como una anécdota.http://justreptilia.blogspot.comxx

Glad to hear you all landed safely! I can't imagine!xoxohttp://www.thewrittenrunway.com
What a frightening experience, I am so glad you are ok. I am scared to death of flying already. How horrible people wouldnt share their masks with you.
I'm so sorry for you!..Beautiful what you wrote!..WWW.CAMILLASSECRETS.COM
as i read this, i was scared for you. i cant even imagine how i would have felt or reacted. so much fear. well thank God you and the other passengers are safe.
Wow, I'm glad you're OK. I've never experienced anything like that…. Must have been really scary and probably puts things into perspective for us. Again, so glad it ended up as it did..xxmaya
OMG Andy, that is totally terrible what happened to you. In such a situation I would have panicked immediately !Stay strong, you will have to take the plane in the future again, and hopefully you'll never have to live such an experience once more !Laurent – http://woodylo.frhttp://dailyfashionstyle.com
What a scary experience. I am glad you are ok. And what a shame for the company and the people around you.I hope you are ok now.http://www.claireandthefrog.com
OMG! I sincerely hope you're allright!!! I wouldn't have had the courage to hop on another plane right away…!But maybe it's for the best, a shock therapy (on a plane a few hours after) so you're not too scared the next time you have to fly!!Big hugs!Ary
This is like the worst nightmare..I'm glad you're ok now…
omg what a story !!! aaa, hope is everything ok with you now :)
CRIKEY! You poor girl.xMichellehttp://www.michellesstylefile.blogspot.com
Wow, that sounds horrible.Hope you´re okay now.x
Andy, we love you and believe in you! Suddenly there are not so much kind and honest people in our time, so I'm sure that God will continue to protect you from this experience! Just relax with your friends and feel yourself the happiest person in the world!
OMG! This is rather horrifying. Makes me scared even more to fly overseas. I so want to go to US some time and other places, but so far I haven't been in the air for more than 3 hours…
Fuck!I'm really glad you're okay! And I hope you won't lost belief in human beings after such experience :|Peace and love!
OMG!* What a scary thing to go through!* Thank goodness your home safe and sound!*xXx
I was scared when I read this, this is one of my greatest fears.. Hope you're ok andy, take all the time you need. Glad you're still with us!
Omg what an horrible expérience! I would have had an heartattack!Glad you are safe now!Ps:reading this on a flight to Paris… Not sure it was such a good idea… :-SDiary of a fashion insider…http://valentineavoh.blogspot.com
I have had a a bit similar experience myself from the flight i took from Indonesia back to England last year. It was horrible. Not quite as yours perhaps since I didn't get the oxygen masks down. I took a red eye at midnight that day but after what happened, I couldn't sleep at all all the day back! Horribly tired and terrified. lol.anyway I'm glad that nothing worse happend. :) Btw, I'm really impressed that you managed to take some pictures even in that situation! haha.
Can't believe people are like that! Shocked….
Omg thats so scary! I am so glad to hear you are ok though and that nothing happened to you. I cant believe people would not share their masks… :( Sending you big hugs from South Africa :) xx
I'm really, really glad you're okay, Andy!Your report made me feel your pain, and I'm shocked by other people's behaviour and by US Airways'lack in maintenance.Hope you feel better now, you're safe in Amsterdam <3xx
Wow, this is really heavy! Your story brought me in a kinds shock, it scared me. Can't even imagine what you've been going trough the last hours. Anyway, i'm very happy this story has a good ending..
I'm glad you're ok now! Hold on Andy, everything will be just fine and, before you can realize it, you will start again to fly around the world!!Best regards,G
As a nervous flyer I can only imagine how terrifying that must have been. It's appalling that no one nearby would share their oxygen with you, even for a little while.I hope you are ok and recovering from your shock. I'm thinking of you.♥ http://www.blahblahbecky.co.uk
Thanks god!! i had very similar situation 2 years ago, and i still remember those day… all the best!
OMG! You have a big lucky
OMG I hope you are alright, I don't know what would I do XO Evehttp://orchid-orchidea.blogspot.com/
so shocking… be good Andy,xxxwww.pretpenser.blogspot.com
que asco de gente enserio… me parece alucinante lo egoístas que pueden llegar a ser las personas… buaf… no lo quiero pensar mucho porque mañana cojo un avión… espero que ya estés más tranquila después del susto, un besito linda :)
OMG.I just can't believe that the people around din't share their oxygen, this is so .. Selfish. I'm so happy nothing tragic happened to you babe & also to the people next to you. ♥
Holy shit what a scary experience! That is such a fear of mine for flying. I cant even imagine honestly it must have been so terrifying, im hoping i dont have nightmares tonight just thinking about it! Its so scary to to see the way people react in a mode of panic. I cant believe they wouldnt share a mask with you, i cant imagine watching the person beside me suffocate while i do nothing but breate in air, humanity needs to step it up!! Glad you are okay though!
It must have been horrible! All those fucking assholes without help, and then having to go on another..I think if I had been there I would have stayed panicked all the time, because I have fear of flying! I'm glad you're well and everything!!!! Hope you feel better, Andy!xxx
I'm totally shocked only by READING about it, I can't imagine how terrible must have been LIVING it.I'm so sorry you had to experience this but at the same time I'm so relieved that you are well now.A big hug from Italy.Anna
OMG!!!!!!!I'm glade you are okkisseshttp://aliceinstyle.blogspot.com/
Oh my God … it's awful. I can imagine how excited you are! But thank God everything turned out well (((((
Agree U.S Airways, and United Airways are low budget airlines, they are crap. Thankfully you made it in one piece.Esas mugres aerolineas son tan tacanas que no les interesa dar mantenimiento a sus aviones. Por suerte sobreviviste ^^
Terrifying! So glad you're okay.
Wow Andy… q mala experiencia, por suerte estás bien, un poco en shock pero bien! Lo que me parece muy fuerte es que la gente no compartiese sus mascaras…Yo alucino, en serio… Como pueden djar a 3 personas sin poder respirar… es increible!Bueno tranquila que ya ha pasado y estás en casa!! Un beso!
Hi Andy, i couldn't immagine the fear, only reading these words i had chills…I'm so happy that you are safe! big hug!
Andy, dear..i was almost crying reading ur post.. that's horrible the situation u passed through.. we're so little and helpless when it comes to such things.. coz not all depends on us.. so insignificant we're.. just as a song says: we're just dust in the wind.. sorry..maybe it may sound too pathetic.. :Si wish u to pass over asap, Andy..all the best to u! u're great! Lusy
oh so sorry to hear that :( hope you are ok?! adawww.bayanmor.blogspot.com
que horrible. uno piensa que esos aviones los tienen preparados para algo asi y mira lo que pasa. me alegro que estes bien.
i'm leaving for paris in 2 days! Now im afraid to fly! I thought those things just didn't happen, but I guess they do……. scary! But I am glad you are safe! What would we do with out you Style Scrapbook??!!?!?!!! ;)Ta-taa for now,Ariannawww.coolgirlstyle.com
Wow. That is definitely scary, untimely death is probably one of my biggest phobias, I can't imagine that feeling of falling quickly from a plane. Simple turbulence already scares the cat out of me.brokefashionjunkie.blogspot.com
Andy, I`m so glad that you`re alright and safe now! Take care!
I feel so sad reading this, i can't imagine what it must have felt like, but thank god you are alive and well..think of it as one of those experiences that only make you stronger!
Andy! me da mucho gusto saber que estás bien! no me ha tocado experimentar algo así pero me imagino lo que se ha de sentir! pero la verdad esque no me sorprende que haya gente tan inhumana que te vea en esas condiciones y no te brinde su ayuda! por eso estamos tan mal. Muchos saludos Andy y hay que aprender a vivir con esto. Que estés muy bien.

Oh Andy, this is really very worrying. :( Good thing you are fine now. It's really shocking that your plain wasn't well maintained!Mars of fashion insouciance
ME MUERO!!! no puedo creer que hayas tenido que pasar por una experiencia tan terrorifica! Te mando muchisimo ánimo!! saludos!
What a scary experience. Glad you are back home safe and sound!
Puedo imaginarme tu desesperación y tu miedo Andy, es una situación fuera de lo común y te agradezco que la compartas porque a cualquiera nos puede ocurrir algo así algún día y no sabríamos que hacer. Creo que hasta podrías demandarlos digo, no tienes cabeza para pensar en eso pero creo que es algo muy delicado. Que bueno que estás bien. Suerte. http://www.stylepicture.blogspot.com
Thank god you're ok Andy!! It's sad to know that people next to you did not share their masks…
its like on movie!!!So glad you're save!!!
justo el otro dia vi en discovery channel algo parecido que le habia pasado a un avion, la verdad no se como hiciste para mantener la calma, yo en tu ligar hubiese muerto del panico!!, me imagino que habran hecho algun tipo de queja al respecto..espero te sientas mejor, besitos desde argentina
Gracias a Dios que estas bien Andy!!!!!que desesperante no poder respirar, lo bueno es que pudieron sacarlas a la fuerza! ojala que te pase pronto el susto, besos desde Mexico :D
That's scary as hell.I'm glad you're ok.And by the way, this sounds like a good law suit.Good thing no one got hurt because they would have been negligent.
no lo puedo creer, omg! espeor que eso ya no te vuelva a pasar, si a mi todavia me da algo de miedo el despegue and landing, seria peor si me pasara eso, lo que tampoco me cabe en la cabeza es como los demas pueden ser tan egocentricos y no compartir sus mascaras, impresionante!
Por favor en español!!
Que feo que tuviste que pasar por eso, una de las peores sensaciones es no poder respirar :S:S: Gracias a Dios estas bien y solo fue el susto..Saludos
that's terrifying. if that happened to me, i might not be able to ride a plane for awhile.. hope you're doing ok.
you should really consider to make a petition or something.. and make a buzz around it!YOU GOT THE POWER!I hope you're doing well now and glad that nothing happened!!
i'm so happy that you're OK! it's amazing how deplorable the conditions in American planes are. glad you made it safe.
this post just made me anxious ! What a story ! xx Hope you're all good in home sweet home http://www.desperatelyseekingpegase.com
That is a very scary story. As I get older I feel like I get more and more nervous to fly. I was getting chills while reading this! I'm so glad to hear that you made it home ok and that you're well. I cannot believe that people wouldn't share their masks with you that is absolutely horrible Thank god that guy was able to get your masks down. Fashionable Collections
andy!!yo no te conozco ni tu ami hermosA,pero algo que no podemos olvidar es que Dios si sabe quien eres…una cosa te digo pequena,que nuestra vida no esta comprada y no sabes cuando vamos a morir,pero te aseguro que con esa experiencia te sentistes muy cerca de la muerte =(Dios usara medios y situaciones dificiles para hacerte entender que solo en JESUS esta el camino la verdad y la vida,EL es El unico que puede salvar tu preciosa alma de la perdicion eterna,ahora que Dios y solo Dios te ha dado a ti y a todos esos pasajeros la oportunidad de volver a vivir,es mejor que te hagas una pregunta sincera contigo misma;DONDE PASARE MI ETERNIDAD DESPUES QUE MUERA? QUE HAY DESPUES DE LA MUERTE?Muneca esta vida no lo es todo,tu carrera que es muy exitosa y tus cientos de "amigos" Y todo el dinero que pueda existir en el mundo NO NOS VA A DAR LA VIDA ETERNA Y NO NOS VAN A AYUDAR PARA DESPUES DE LA MUERTE…JESUCRISTO NO ES RELIGION ES EL UNA VERDAD QUE MUCHOS IGNORAN ,PERO ES LA UNICA VIA DE ESCAPE DE NUESTRA VIDA PECAMINOSO QUE TENEMOS SEPARADOS DE DIOS ,ESA ES LA RAZON POR LA CUAL JESUS VINO A SALVAR A LA HUMANIDAD, LOS PECADOS . PORQUE LA PAGA DEL PECADO ES LA MUERTE Y MUERTE ETERNA SEPARADOS DE DIOS POR LA ETERNIDAD.ESA ES LA RAZON POR LA CUAL JESUS MURIO PARA DARMOS VIDA ETERNA Y SALVARNOS DE LA CONDENACION DEL INFIERNO ,NECESITO HABLARTE MUNECA LA REALIDAD Y LA VERDAD Y SABES PORQUE? PORQUE DIOS TE AMA Y EL QUIERE QUE LO MIRES A EL,QUE BUSQUES SU PERDON, Y QUE TE REFUGIES EN EL ,PARA SALVACION DE TU ALMA ,LA CUAL ES ETERNA Y NUCA MORIRA,NUESTRO CUERPO SI,PERO NUESTRO ESPIRITU JAMAS DE LOS JAMASES MORIRA Y ESO ES LO QUE ERES TU UN ALMA Y UNESPIRITU EN UN CUERPO QUE MORIRA,CUANDO ?NO LO SE SOLO DIOS LO SABE.PERO QUE EN ESE VIAJE HUBIRA SIDO EL DIA DE TU MUERTE=( te hubieras enfrentada a ella indefensa y sin la ayuda de nadie,porque lo que has hecho hasta ahora es dejar a Dios fuera de tus planes…te animo muneca que busques de Dios y su perdon….con sincerida te lo digo, medita en esto porque no soy yo la que te lo dice ;ES JESUS EL SALVADOR DEL MUNDO =)
Que experiencia más terrible!!!! Tuve un problema menos en mi último viaje y me re asuste asi que me imagino en tu situación!Lo importante es que estás sana y salva!!!www.vain-addiction.blogspot.com
Que feo andy!! Y que egoistas las personas que no compartian sus masacaras! Suerte que no paso nada masBesos!
Feel better :)Copper Etiquette Shop Dresses
this is fucking nuts. i would have been going insane. im glad you and everyone else is safe.xoxo MonroeFashion Steele NYC
Holy freaking crap, I was flipping out just reading that. You poor thing! And HOW…and I mean HOW is it possible that those people could just completely ignore a person in need? I doubt there was any confusion about the situation, you guys were obviously in need of help…Things like this, or the turmoil in Libya, or so many other things, really does cast some doubt on the idea of humanity. Maybe a somewhat pretentious statement…but I really do wonder sometimes.I hope you're recovering well though, I can't imagine the trauma!Ceciliamew mew
Oh god!!I'm so sorry about that!!I'm glad nothing happened to you!!Kisses from Portugal :)
suena terrible, yo no imagino no poder respirar, espantoso.Gracias a dios te encuentras sana y salva.Suerte andy!
Your first picture made me laugh a little (my bad!) and then I read what happened. That's like my worse nightmare ever! Glad your okay! x
What a nightmare- it almost doesn't seem real- like something out of a movie. So glad you weren't over the water with nowhere to go. My stomach was literally in knots while reading this. I feel nauseous now. So glad you all are safe! xx
Que horror andy :s ahora sabes mas o menos lo que es ser asmática y que te de un ataque:(
you are so so sweet!!! i never comment here but now that you are still alive its the time to say :) keep this awesome blog.
glad to know you're okay now.stay safe dear~
OH MY GOD! You must have been soooo scared! I´m glad you are OK and nothing tragic happened to you. Take your time and be well! XO Diannewww.highheels-nothingtowear.blogspot.com
Oh my god, I think nobody can imagine how terrible that must have been. What a nightmare. I really really hope you are fine.
This is why I am terrified of planes. It was indeed very fortunate you were not in the middle of the ocean! I think I would've died in fear. It's great you are ok.
Omg, what a scarry history!
I'm so glad you ok. I cannot imagine how you felt, it must have been beyond awful. Love,Teresa
Oh my god! That is terrible!But I'm glad your back home :)Stay strong !
god bless you are okay!!
Andy, I am so glad you made it back home.It's barely possible to imagine what you've bene through.. Lukiky, your pilote maneged to avoid your horrible flight to turning into a disaster. But this kind of situation shouldn't happen nowadays, what are they waiting for?!Last year, I almost died 4 times, by differents car/road accidents that all occured in the same week. I ain't comparing (No way!), but for me the healing recipe has been spending more time with my family.Take care and all the time you need to get back on your feet! With all my kindest regards.Laure, from Parishttp://tagadablues.over-blog.com/
oh, gosh, how good that everything ended up well.It does upset when people dont help each other.I couldn't not help.I think it's just how I'm raised.♥ xoxo Ra
i saw you many frantic tweets and couldn't even imagine what happened. this is CRAZY. i can't even imagine. thank god you are okay.xx, http://wordbyjessie.com/
Es muy triste darse cuenta de lo egoista que puede llegar a ser la gente. Lamentablemente cada dia el ser humano se vuelve mas y mas egoista. Espero que tu historia nos haya hecho pensar a todos. Siento mucho lo que te paso. Supongo que pasaste un miedo tremendo. Esperamos tus alegres post muy pronto. Un beso enormeAlehttp://www.inspiredbyalesamaniego.blogspot.com/
Andy, I held my breath through that entire post, thank god everything went okay and you are safe…I also cannot believe that other people would not share their masks? That is beyond terrible.xoannawithlove
Dios mio Andy!!!!Espero que ya estés mejor!!!Menudo susto, no puedo entender como no funcionaron los compartimentos de las mascarillas adecuadamente, denuncialo!!!Niña descansa mucho y espero que se te olvide este mal momento pronto.Miles de besos desde España.
Oh my god!!! Madre mia… tienes q haberlo pasado muy mal… Me alegro que estés bien chica!!! No sé si tendria tu coraje de subirme a un avión despues de lo que te ha pasado… Besitos
oh ha, not something you read every day. I hope you are well. many greetings from Germany
oh man I hope you feel better now safe at home! I live through quite similar situation. I was just flying back home from San Francisco and the plane started to loose height. it was all because of some freaking streams.it all ended up happily but I was scared as hell. the worst thing about it is helplessness. . Maybe you won't feel like flying somewhere in few weeks.But believe it's all gonna be allright Andy x
Oh my God that´s terrible waht happened. I am very glad to hear everything is OK with you and the people sitting next to you. How awful those people are to not sharing their oxygen with you. I hope they´ll feel terrible about themselves, because they should! Glad to hear your survival Andy came on the surface. Thanks to helping each other in that row, you have managed to breathe normally.I can understand you really didn´t want to get on another plane after that. Was there someone with you, or were you travelling alone? I know I would be dying to talk about it, just to level with each other about what happened. I hope someone was there to help and assist you.Please be careful, think about yourself (put yourself first) because I can understand you must have been in total shock (maybe you actually still are). Drink some tea and sleep a lot. (And stay here in the Netherland ;) )Love,Nancy
oh, wow! how scary! I fly alot too and that's like a serious fear!!glad you're okay dear!XO SahraEffortlessCool
OMG this must have been awful. Hopefully you're all right, take care sweetie and thank you lucky star !Kisses,C.http://cbcmg.blogspot.com
Siempre escribo en inglés, pero como se que lo entiendes hoy voy a escribir en mi lengua materna. lo que dices suena aterrador…Deberías desde luego reclamar, no sólo a la compañía, pero a todas las asociaciones que existan, porque que dos máscaras de oxígeno no salgan es un fallo muy, muy gordo. Con todo me alegro de que estés bien y espero que esto quede como una anécdota en el futuro.
I'm so happy that you're okay! That would be terrifying! I was already getting anxious just reading this! smileyius.blogspot.com
Gracias a Dios que no paso nada mas grave. Siento mucho que pasaras por eso. Pero afortunadamente salio todo bien al final. Un beso muy fuerte desde España!!!
que mala onda : ( pero al menos ya estás en tu casa! Cuídate mucho!
That is SO scary :( You could probably sue them for the plane malfunction and the oxygen malfunctions.
La verdad es que en momentos como estos las personas no piensan bien y claramente de parte de las personas que no compartieron sus mascaras esta muy mal, pero quiero que sepas que estoy muy feliz de saber que lograron salir de este enredo a salvo! Me asusta mucho cuando cosas de ese estilo pasan en los aviones y bueno admiro que hayas sabido como reaccionar y no volverte loca! Todo lo que no nos mata nos trae experiencia a la vida, todo pasa por algo y espero que no te vuelva a pasar nada igual! Besos!
oh my that´s horrible..so glad you and everyone else are alright!
Que fuerte! Es de mis peores miedos! Y nadie se desmayó en el vuelo? Que bueno que estás bien!
This was a terrible experience! Thank God everything turned out ok. I hope you're feeling a lot better now. I'm travelling by plane in the next days, and I'm a little scared now. Those people who were sitting near you and didn't share their masks with you, were idiots.
Oh my god, Andy. That is terrible! I hope you feel better now! First of all it must have been horrible that the flight lost its cabin pressure but then the oxygen masks did not come out is even worse! It should work and I hope the company will by extra careful to check their flights. I always fear something like that will happen to me when I am flying. I hope you will never experience something like that again.Love from Christiane.
OMG! I started getting anxiety just imagining it! I'm so glad you guys were able to open it! now I'm scared to think that those oxygen mask thingys could get stuck!I'm glad you are ok! it's crazy how selfish people get in moments of panic eek.~Pauwww.lilbitsofchic.com
That's awful, so happy that you're right :)Kisses from http://www.bpeinternational.blogspot.comMiladies**
I'm already scared by just reading your story! I'm glad you "survived" it! When it ever happens to me, and someone next to or near me doesn't have a mask I would definitely share mine with him/her! Take care! xo,Stella
I bet that was a terrifying experience! I'm so glad you're okay now Andy! (:http://thefashionlatte.blogspot.com
I'm so happy that you are okay! Thank God nothing happend to you. Kisses from me :)
OMG!Glad you are ok now!
oh my gosh, so glad that nothing has happened to you!but the ones who had masks and didn't want to share.. how can people be so selfish?!wish you the best!and I actually love flying but this really made me thoughtful..it's kind of scary that not all of the masks didn't come out in a modern plane :/
OMG, that sounds terribly scary!! I'm so glad you're OK and everyhing was fine in the end…kisses
I'm glad you and everyone on the plane is okay. That must have been terrible. And it's revolting that no one would share a mask with people who didn't have any.
Se me ha ido encogiendo el corazón a medida que te iba leyendo, de hecho ha empezado al ver la primera foto con el titulo.Es muy triste lo de los que no compartian sus mascaras, la verdad. En momentos así es cuando sale la persona real que somos, y parece ser que ellos son avariciosos, lamentable, y más en momentos así tan fuertes que no sabias lo que estaba pasando.Me avergüenzo de lo avariciosos que llegamos a ser en momentos en los que hay vidas en riesgo.Ay! Que penita me ha dado leer esto, lo bueno es que estas bien y solo ha sido el susto!Un besito Andy y descansa! Que momentos así son mucho más que agotadores y horrorosos.Cristina
oh my god, this is a very very very bad dream… i hope, that you are okay…
I'm so glad nothing happened to you! I don't like planes!
OMG! I will never fly again!
Oh my god what a horrible experience!! Thank god that nothing else happened. I've always hated to fly, and still do to this day. Hope that you are o.k!
Shitty things happen every day and they really show how selfish are the people. There are really few of them who will be able to help somebody else in time like that.I'm really glad you are ok. In situation like that you really can't do anything, and that's the worst.
God bless the oxygen mask in the end! I'm glad your're fine!!!WHAT A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!Shit, when I think about large flight, I became very scared!!! :( Relax yourself, now you are in your home!
what a terrible story. i'm glad you made it through safely. it's awful that the oxygen masks didn't come out when they should have. i hope your story will be acknowledged, so that this doesn't have to happen again. it also shocks me that people didn't help you or others out..anyway, i'm glad you're okay. xoxo storyofstyle.blogspot.com
Oh, it sounds like bad nightmare!I don't understand those people!!i hope u feel better!
Oh my gosh Andy! I'm so glad you are ok. I couldn't imagine being in a situation like that. http://seekershop.blogspot.com
OH MY GOD! How scary! Glad you're OK! Love, Petrawww.styleyourimage.blogspot.com
OMG:( I hope you are ok now, good luck
que horror! ahora tengo mas miedo de subirme a los aviones, y tu que viajas tanto, neta que bueno que pudieron sacar las mascaras, yo creo que yo me hubiera desmayado nada mas de saber que el avión iba cayendo…que bueno que estas bien!Saludos.
OH MY GOD ANDY!!!!! Qué miedo has debido pasar no???? la verdad que leyendo tu escrito me estaba viendo en tu situación, ya que yo por trabajo también viajo mucho…. QUÉ MIEDOOOOOO!!! Debiste pasarlo muy mal!! ESTOY FELIZ DE QUE NO HAYA PASADO ninguna tragedia y que todo haya quedado en una experiencia! hay que vivir al máximo el día a día porque ante sucesos así todo el mundo está expuesto!Me alegra que estés bien y "algo" más tranquila!!!BESITOSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GRANDESSSSSSSSSS!http://demodayaloloco.blogspot.com/
I am soo afraid of flying and I even can not stand 1-hour-flights!When I read your tweet about the horrible thing that you went through, I was very afraid of your next flight back home but thank God you arrived home safely.You should relax a few days, maybe go to Spa or do something to get over it. Loves,olgahttp://alittlebitofall.wordpress.com
Holy shit. I cannot believe this. Thank God you're okay. What an incredibly scary experience!!!
OMG Andy. Just glad you are OK. I hate flying and that would have seriously creeped me the HELL out! I can't fly without Alex, he's flown planes before… so whenever I get scared, I just look at him or ask about this feeling or that feeling/sound on the plane, and he explains and manages to calm me down.I could only imagine your fear. Damn :( and am glad it'sover with.love,E! xx
thank god this did not end up tragicallywish u and those ppl who were in that flight the best!
Poor Andy ! I really feel scared for youI think the worst thing is that your row couldn't use the oxygen masks…I hope it will never happen to me, I could be traumatized for a lifetime !xxwww.coralieslooks.com – FRENCH FASHION BLOG
I feel sorry for you I hope you're okay now!xoxo Mara
Wow that is so scary. Thank God you are ok! Good for you for facing your fears and getting back on the plane! I can't even imagine… but I would hope that I would share my oxygen with someone who didn't have any… they were probably in shock too… that's so terrible though.
What a terrible experience Andy :( I'm so sorry about that. I'm glad you are ok and safe at home. I have panic to fy, but I know it's the quickest and usual way to travel long distances, so I usually think about the destination and try to calm down. I don't know how could be my reaction in a situation like that but, believe me when I say…. I don't wanna know…. LOLSo sad, people didn't share their masks, these world is full of assholes.Un besín y espero que te pase el disgusto pronto Andy.
I am so glad you are OK and sorry for the horrible experience. think about it like it is the worse that could happen to you and you will never have to go through such things again!
I am so glad that you're okay. Life is important to everyone and during that moment everyone became selfish. Now people who experienced it know how important it is to stand by each other during moments like this…God give them sense who did not share the mask. love ya!!
That's like my worst nightmare. I'm so glad you're safe and that nothing happened. I really hope that the people who didn't share their oxygen read this and feel guilty. It's unhuman to do such thing. Stay strong! x
Thank's God everythigh is okay already!
Hi Andy!Your story sounds like a very scary expirience and I'm very happy to read that yoare OK now.I hope that you will be able to relax and to get beck to yourself in no time.Best wishes,Alina.
Everything ok?How did you take pictures in a panic?I would have broke my phone and screamed!May God bless you!
Oh my gosh thank god nothing bad happend I'm glad that you're okay and savely back home
Lo siento mucho! y me alegro que hayas regresado a casa sana y salva; aunque el susto no te lo quita nadie.Ahora relájate con una taza de manzanilla y descansa, te ayudará a estar mas tranquila!Un abrazo y un beso, En el próximo post me gustaría volver a verte con una sonrisa :)
That sounds very scary…But the most important thing is that everything is OK with you.I'm also shocked that people didn't want to share their masks,but I'm sure that someday they can also get in a situation,where they will need help but no one will help them.Wish you all the best,you are very brave girl!
That's so horrible. I'm glad you're ok!www.blackandblondeone.com
Fortunately everything ended up well! I'm ghappy about that… About those who didn't want to share their oxygen masks i feel sorry for them, because someday it might happen with them aswell! It's sad to know that some people like that who only thinks on themselves but unfortunately the world is not perfect!About the planes, i have no words to say, cause' they only check them when something happens, but still, some companies don't even care about it and says it was a 1 out of a million issue that happened!
my god..i hope u feel fine…
Oh my God dear, how scary! That must have been horrible! So glad that you're ok!xx
good that you did an edit cos the first thing i that while reading was: why did she take these pictures at this scary moment? i hope you r allright now.
Jeeez so scary! I'm glad nothing happened to you. I'm flying next week and this story kinda freaks me out. (all though I did fly a couple times already) But I bet it's all gonna be okay.FarBeyondBelieving
Thank God everything turned out to be okay and you and the other people are well! I can't really say anything more I'm speechless…In extreme situations people can show their worst sides! Everyone thinks of themselves because in such a life threatening situation you (and your children if you have any) are the most important and the only person to save.Hopefully something like that won't happen again (anytime soon).
It must have been a nightmare!! It sounds so scary! I'm glad you arrived safely in Amsterdam after all.
OMG Andy!! Best wishes to you. Hope you are feeling better so far:)Mela xxhttp://melamusings.blogspot.com/
Que pesadilla! Que feo! Espero que estés bien! Besoshttp://thereallookbook.blogspot.com/2011/06/welcome-back.html
OMG Andy, it's such a terrible thing, hope you will be ok soon, and I wish you with all my heart to be calm after what happened.Thanks God, thet everything ends fine.
gosh, what a bad experience.I hope that you're fine!x
Oh my gosh! I'm so glad that you're ok, but how awful? That really is my worst nightmare.. yikes!
Oh my God! You gave me anxiety just reading that. So glad you are okay! So rude that no one shared their mask. That is some scary stuff.http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/1574251/raes-guide-to-stylewww.raesstylefile.blogspot.com
This was scary even while reading it, I couldn't imagine being in your place. How rude of those people sitting next to you. Hope you're alright. :)
omg thats terrible! good to know that you are fine now but i would be in shock too
Poor girl. I wish this terrible experience soon became forgotten. And do not be angry at people who didn't share the oxygen masks, becose the survival instinct is very strong in such situations – mors tua vita mea.
Wow, that's insane! I guess it's a comfort to know that airplanes are still the safest way to travel, and these occurrences are rare. I'm just glad that all of you guys got back to land safely! It's good that one of the men next to you was smart enough to try to open the mask compartment.
oh my god, I am so sorry that happened to you! I'm glad you made it home safe!www.mimosasnthemorning.com
thanks god Andy u r safe!!I've followed all ur tweet in those hours, looks really scary to me :(, i'm really glad nothing happened to u!:*
OMG!!!!!!! :-O I was scared just reading of it!!!! I can't imagine being there!!! So sorry for you!!! A big hug from England and Italy!!
WoW! every time I fly I pay close attention to the safety directions and prey that I dont have to use them. This is very scary I'm happy you made it home safe and sound! xoxo, Vogue & Vintage
Hope you are fine again! Sounds really scary!!
Andy se me pone la piel de gallina solo de leer tu relato. De verdad que has sido muy valiente y no me imagino que hubiera hecho yo si me pasara algo así. De verdad que muchos animos, yo no sé si sería capaz a volver a subir en otro avión en mucho tiempo. Me alegro muchisimo de que solo haya sido un susto y de que estés bien.1 beso muy fuerte!! ánimo
OMG thank God you're ok!! I'm sure that this experience must been very difficult for you, I hope you are ok, I follow your blog, your travels etc, so I Hope you fell better right now, take carefrom a friend who lives in ChileCarla.
It's so sad how selfish people are. All you can do is learn from your experiences…However, I am so glad that you are ok!commonsenseandstilettos.blogspot.com
This really scares me! The people who are just thinking to theirselves. I mean it wouldn't have killed them if they would have given them to you for a half minuite!
lo siento mucho, gracias a Dios estás bien !!!
Oh God andy! that's horrible :(At least nothing bad happened and you are here and alive, that's the important honey ! :)The worst experience I had with flights was when a man in the seat next to me, was feeling bad because he was afraid of fly and a white liquid started going out of his mouth, and his eyes was moving like crazy. But happily he drank water and his wife made him go back to reality and nothing worse happened.. was like a scene of a movie, was horrible .. but nothing compared with what you passed :/ But yes is really horrible that no one shared the mask with you, people nowadays are really mean and selfish.. how this can happen? is a person's life that is in danger, honestly what king of people is this?Be calm and try to forget it, the worst is gone ! :)
Dios mío Andy, qué pesadilla… Y yo estoy volando a NYC en menos de un mes con US Airways :S
Wow, this sounds like a really scary experience. I am glad that you are save now. It is so hard to imagine all those people with the mask on, not even thinking about sharing it with you and the others with no masks:O I would be so ashamed of myself:OI hope you get the support you need right now, to give this horrifying experiene a place. You should not go thrue this alone.
I was truly dismayed to read what had happened, but I am glad you are alright and safe at home, Andy. It's a wonder how people continue just to selfishly think of themselves and don't even lift a finger to help the ones next to them, even though they themselves are already safe.♥, Jamiehttp://www.TheFancyTeacup.com
I think I have hardly ever read something more horrible and scary than this post… I am shocked and sad you had to make such an experience! I still have goosebumps- Nevertheless, I am glad to hear that you're back home safe and I hope you are well! God bless you're alright! Lots of Love M.

Gosh! I am so sorry that you had to go through such a horrible experience. Others were scared, too, I'm sure. I would have shared my oxygen with a stranger. I would have helped force open the compartment so that you could breathe, too.You're strong and you're brave. I'm glad you made it!Getting on another plane took a lot of strength, I know.

people next to you which didn't want to share the masks were simple assholes, nothing more. It's time for them to think, if someday they would need this mask and no one would want to share with them.I'm thankful that you're back to Amsterdam in one piece.I wish you no more situation like this one.And I wish USA to keep more attention to the planes condition…

Anyone else love buying unique, encouraging cards and gifts for friends?
It only takes one scroll through Instagram to find so many Jesus-loving creatives who are killing the game with gifts and cards that not only look fab but also encourage, inspire and glorify our Saviour. I thought I'd list my favourites here!
Here are 5 Christian creatives selling gifts and cards you'll fall in love with….
If pretty, modern designs and a great range of products is what you're looking for, check out creative_bea. Her cards, prints, journals and other stationary all make great presents for friends, or even as a treat for yourself. Plus they won't break the bank either which is always a bonus!
I am a sucker for pretty lettering, and the quotes, verses and encouragements on these cards are absolutely gorgeous. As well as a great selection of cards hopeandginger also have fun posters and prints which would make thoughtful gifts, or brighten up a room in your own home!
Perhaps you have a friend who loves bible journaling, why not treat them to some pretty stickers? Vision Words offer a huge variety of stickers, each with an encouragement or verse on them to inspire your pal in their walk with Jesus. To read more about them check out my recent review of their lovely 'Verses of Encouragement' sticker collection.
Have you heard of Bible verse embroidery hoop art? If not, check out ByGeorge Rocks and prepare to fall in love with her lovely designs. Each hand-crafted item offers words of encouragement and verses and with so many to chose from, you're bound to find one perfect for your friend. I can't think of a more thoughtful present!
Stuck when it comes to finding the perfect card? Forgetmenot Christian cards have one for just about every occasion or season, plus their designs are so sweet! Their prints and bookmarks would also be a great way to gift a loved one.
I had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Samantha recently, one of the creatives behind the business. It's always important to remind yourself of the real people who pour their hearts into the products we buy!
Do you have a favourite shop to buy cards and gifts from? I'd love to hear about them!

When a sentence's components lose their connection.
A dangler is what happens when one part of a sentence isn't tied securely to the other part—and ends up dangling sadly alone with nothing to anchor it.
Spot the deliberate mistake
What's wrong with the following sentence?
Speaking as a student of grammar, this error is one of the commonest I've come across.
Some student of grammar… In the two pieces of that sentence (they're separated by the comma), the subject of the first is the person speaking as a student of grammar; it's I, in fact. In the second part, however, the subject has somehow morphed into this error. Erroneously. In a sentence like this, the subjects in both parts have to match; otherwise, that first part is dangling—it's lost its connection.
To haul the dangler back in and reconnect it to the rest of the sentence, the subject of the second part has to be switched around to match the first—or, alternatively, the first part has to be rewritten to make the second part work as it is:
1. Speaking as a student of grammar, I've found that this is one of the commonest errors there is.
2. I've been a student of grammar for years, and this error is one of the commonest I've come across.
Getting it right
Just remember: when you start a sentence from the point of view of a particular person or thing, the rest of the sentence has to keep that same point of view. Don't let your dangling subject twist slowly, slowly in that cold, ungrammatical wind.

Faith Stories — Nancy Brown
Date: October 5, 2014 Speaker:
In 2008, DeLeon FUMC's then-pastor Lisa Neslony asked members of the congregation to share their faith stories with the church. On several successive Sundays, members took the floor to relate their experiences relating to faith.
It was an enlightening and enriching experience for all concerned.
Most (but not all) of the stories were recorded and posted on the old church website.
Recently, we came across them again, and have decided to share them in a series of posts on our new website.

A power washer can make short work of a paint-removal job that would take days to do with a paint scraper -- but you need the right machine. An underpowered one won't remove the paint, and an overpowered one will damage the substrate. The ideal machine develops about 3,000 psi.
Available Options
People use power washers for a variety of purposes, from washing their cars to cleaning grease off garage floors. The least-powerful consumer models, good for home cleaning tasks, are usually electric and develop about 2,000 psi, which isn't enough to remove paint. Industrial models, on the other hand, spray at pressures of up to 7,000 psi, which will destroy most wood surfaces. An intermediate, gas-powered model with a maximum output of 4,000 psi will strip paint, and it won't cost as much to buy or rent as a larger machine.
A Tip on Tips
Power washers come with a selection of color-coded tips with fan widths from 0 to 40 degrees. Although the red tip, which is 0 degrees, will remove paint under almost any pressure, you should avoid it, because it can easily gouge wood. On the other hand, the white tip, which is 40 degrees, disperses the spray in too wide a pattern to be effective for paint removal. The 25-degree green tip and the 15-degree yellow tip are generally the best ones to use for paint removal.

Naughty naughty: The discipline methods that work, and those that don't
When it comes to disciplining your children, it's something that most parents find tough. Parenting coach Val Mullally talks to Andrea Mara about the methods that do and don't work
Val Mullally's discipline takeaways for parents:
1The toddler's brain is still under construction. Don't expect young children to think and act like mini-adults - they can't. (That's why they need parents!)
2When your child's behaviour is most challenging is when they probably most need your kindness and connection.
3Your toddler's behaviour is about her/ him. Your response is about you.
Val Mullally's book Behave: What to do When Your Child Won't (Behave.ie) is available on Amazon in paperback and in Kindle format.
That parenting is a steep learning curve is no secret - just ask any first-time mum in the throes of getting to know her newborn. But parenting methods are evolving too, and many of the customs we grew up with - the ones we learned from our own parents - are falling out of favour. Parenting coach Val Mullally (Koemba.com) explains why some parenting methods are less effective than others, and offers practical alternatives.
Making children say sorry
This is something most parents do - a child hurts a sibling and our first instinct is to insist he apologises - "Say sorry to your sister". But what does this really teach the child?
"When we insist the child says sorry as a condition, we're teaching them inauthenticity," says Mullally. "We're not helping them to learn to be true to themselves or to learn compassion. They're now saying sorry for some other reason - to get to play with a toy or to shut mum up!"
So are there other options? Mullally explains that we need raise the child's awareness of how the other person is feeling in this situation.
"First of all we need to calm the child down - if they're upset they won't be able to see the other perspective. When we've calmed them down, then we can interact with them about the incident." She suggests asking the child to look at how the other child is feeling. "It might be saying, 'Look at Susie, how's Susie looking? What could we do to make things better?' Then we can get the child to connect, and sorry will come from a genuine place. And in a young child, sorry might be in an action rather than a word - they might offer a toy or do something to make up. In other words, you're helping your child to learn empathy by observing."
Labelling children
Many of us grew up with the notion of 'bold boy' or 'bold girl', but today, more is known about the downsides of this. "When we start labelling our children we're giving a message to ourselves, to our children, and to other people," says Mullally. "When you label a child 'bold boy' you're saying that that's what's inside that child, and the child is then likely to live up to your expectations and act out."
So to use a concrete example, if a child draws on the wall, instead of saying "Bold boy", it's more helpful to calmly state the limit regarding that behaviour.
"You say 'The wall is not for writing on'," explains Mullally. "And especially by three- or four-years-old. You can be giving them choices such as, 'You can choose to draw on the paper or you can choose that the crayons will be put away.' You can set a boundary without having to shame the child."
Bribing children
Giving a child a sweet for eating her dinner or promising a toy if she behaves in the supermarket - it can be irresistible in the heat of the moment, but counterproductive in the long term. "It's teaching them from a young age to manipulate; to push for what you want without being really engaged in cooperation," Mullally points out. "And where's it going to end? If you're bribing with a sweet now and a toy when he's six - what are you going to be bribing him with by the time he's doing his Leaving Cert?"
As parents know, there are times when bribery feels like the only option - are there ways to avoid this?
"Be aware of giving enough time to be able to take things at a pace that meets the child's needs," advises Mullally. "Which means maybe doing more the night before to be organised. Very often when we end up giving out to the child, it's because we're frustrated with ourselves."
It's also important to help children learn that cooperation is part of family life, as opposed to something they do in order to win a material reward, says Mullally. "Develop a mindset of 'We do things together, we help together'. When your toddler is looking to help to unpack the groceries, nurture that help, and the idea of 'we cooperate' is likely to flow on into later years."
Putting a child on time-out or on the naughty step is a very popular means of disciplining children, but are there downsides? Val Mullally thinks so.
"If you think about a young wild animal - if the mother disappears, the baby animal is probably going to die. When we abandon our children by putting them in the chair or whatever; to be disconnected from the parent is hugely threatening. It's going to churn up high levels of anxiety - the child is not going to remember the learnings, all they're going to remember is the anxiety. If we want our children to learn from a situation, we need to do it by connection, not by disconnection."
Mullally suggests alternatives. "When you're dealing with a toddler, try to see things through his eyes - use creativity to see when and how to develop opportunities for cooperation. Very often bringing in a bit of humour and a bit of fun will change the whole dynamic of a situation, instead of us getting wound up." She gives an example. "Your child doesn't want to go upstairs and brush his teeth - try saying, 'Let's see who gets up the stairs first!' All of a sudden, instead of getting into a power struggle, you change it into a light, fun interaction between you."
Making children share
Playdates up and down the country are filled with well-meaning parents begging children to share their toys. But as Mullally explains, this doesn't mirror real life.
"Even as adults we don't share everything - whether it's your iPhone or your diamond ring - you don't just give it away to anyone. We need to realise that an old teddy might be just as precious in the child's eyes as your diamond ring or iPhone. We have some rather strange idea that children should share everything though it's not part of how we do life generally."
So how do you get around the issue when friends are visiting?
"Try saying, 'Do you want to put some of your special toys away and leave them until later if you don't want to play with them with other children?' Try to have a variety of things to play with, and the great thing with toddlers is that you can easily divert. Taking action to prevent a conflict is more helpful than trying to deal with it afterwards."
Ultimately, in all of this, there's one common theme - are we trying to raise compliant children or are we trying to raise competent children?
Mullally elaborates. "How we parent in the first few years is hugely important because we're setting up a model of how we interact with people. If you raise your child to always listen and do what he's told with you, you're actually teaching him to ignore himself and what he needs, and go along with whatever the other person wants. When he gets into teenage years, often peers become more important than parents. If you've taught him to always go along with the other person, you run the risk that your child is going to be compliant and go along with other people's agendas. We need to help our children be socially and emotionally competent - to know how to remain true to themselves as well as being able to cooperate with others."

Lexington Cooperative Market
Buffalo, N.Y.
Year founded: 1971
Equity requirement: $80
Number of members: 10,000
Number of employees: 90
Retail square footage: 4,500
About a decade ago, when the Lexington Cooperative Market was looking to expand, it realized that membership was low for a co-op that was almost 30 years old (600) and that member benefits were out of whack.
It was time to overhaul the benefit system and give new member recruitment a jump-start. It turned out that doing this did more than just provide better-looking numbers. It has incalculably changed the co-op's "capital culture."
Lexington realized what a lot of co-ops have learned. Discounts at the cash register are not as attractive to members as had once been supposed, and that they have a deleterious effect on the bottom line. They decided that they wanted to change their benefits to being exciting for owners, sustainable for the co-op, and equitable for both. As the co-op leadership worked to address this issue, they made a simple and effective three-point plan to make membership more beneficial:
- Improve customer service levels to reach "phenomenal."
- Simplify and consistently use the membership pitch.
- Emphasize the benefits of the patronage dividend system.
Tim Bartlett, the co-op's general manager, said it doesn't have to be complicated. "A lot of owners, shopping often, is our model," he said.
When people are willing to invest in the co-op, either as a member or a lender, they are taking their connection to the co-op to the next level. "We had to do a lot of education regarding ownership, that's it's a different kind of relationship," Bartlett said. The result is that membership went up as did the co-op's retained patronage. "Internally it changed things," he said. "Retained patronage works like magic. Our equity position has grown so much over the last five years," he said. "Our equity strategy ties in with our business strategy which is to get a lot of people involved. Higher equity also helps us reduce the need for outside debt."
When Lexington did their loan drive for the expansion, the work they'd put into reframing ownership and changing member benefits also contributed to that campaign's success. "It was such a powerful momentum generator. It weaves the whole co-op together in this venture," Bartlett said. "The membership is clearly coming forward with their support of the co-op."Add to favorites

> Is there any alternate tag of "tabindex" of IE, which I can use for > Netscape. I defined tabindex for links and it doesnt work while I see page tabindex is an attribute, not a tag. Netscape 4.51 for Linux doesn't support tabbing at all, let alone with tabindex; which probably means that NS 4.x leaves tabs completely to the OS GUI. However, Netscape 6.2 is likely to be completely different.Received on Wednesday, 21 November 2001 20:13:36 UTC

Last post I could find about this was from 2009...
So, I have a SC Higball SS. Love it! But I'm looking to do a $400 - $500 upgrade.
I currently have a RS Recon Silver, and some stock WTB wheelset.
So should I:
1. Buy a new-to-me wheelset: stan's arch; Sun ringle charger; something similar
2. Buy a new-to-me fork: RS Reba; or other suggestions preferably 120mm
Or the less preferred option:
3. Stop window shopping and reading forums, then save money, go outside and ride the s*** out of what I have, and then when I have enough for both, buy a new fork w/ 15mm TA and a new wheelset to fit it, at the same time?
Only thing really keeping me from option 3 (besides my impatience and upgraditis) is that I would want to keep my old wheelset and use it for the road. If I did that my old wheels wouldn't fit the new 15mm fork. And I'd have to buy another front wheel.
I'm leaning more towards option 1 for the weight savings, but also thinking about option 2 for better weight and handling (will I be able to feel the difference between the Reba and Recon silver?).

I grab for a book and realize my heart is too heavy and my mind too crowded to absorb it. I know that in the struggle of divorce there are days where no energy exists to absorb words of wisdom despite the fact that I crave them.
I am reminded why I write this column. I try and make my words brief since life distraction demands it. I am reminded of the limits that we possess during pain.
I am reminded of my uncle the priest. I am reminded of what he would have told me today when self-help and inspiration evades me. It is something my family reminds me through gentle, nudging texts.
I am reminded of letting go.
I am reminded of faith which is in essence…………….'letting go.'
I will not get where I am intended if I do not.
I am reminded of the one single piece of advice my uncle always gave me. It never changed. It did not matter if it was a different day and a different struggle. My uncle, Father Pat always reminded me of his favorite Proverb 3:5-7. It has become my mantra in life and I lean on it often through this divorce.
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make straight your paths."

Formed in early 2008, the Montreal Nintendo Orkestar are a Montreal-based avant-electronic duo composed of French sound
experimentalist Alberick (.cut) and local artist Stephen Cibo. Using
two Nintendo DS videogame units run through a variety of guitar pedals

of what pop is. Influences include The Velvet Underground, Throbbing
Gristle, Brian Eno, and Suicide.
Over the course of their 2-year existence, the duo have released
several CD recordings as well as a limited-edition vinyl EP. They have
collaborated with Japanese cyber-punk artist Kenji Siratori and New

Starring: Meiko Kaji, Rie Yokoyama, Yoyoi Watanabe, Kayoko Shiraishi, Fumio Watanabe, Yayoi Watanabe, Masakazu Tamura, Hiroshi Tsukata
Continuing a run of fantastic limited edition box sets, Arrow Video have finally put together the first four movies in the Japanese women-in-prison/revenge Female Prisoner Scorpion series in a lavish package loaded with extras. Based on a comic, the films – particularly the original – have become notable amongst cult cinema connoisseurs for their depictions of graphic violence, sex and strong female characters, many elements that were copied by hundreds of other exploitation movies throughout the 1970s but never quite captured with the same sense of artistic flair.
The first film in the series is 1972's Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion, which Continue reading

They were Marina Semenova, Olga Lepeshinskaya, Raisa Struchkova, Alexei Fadeechev and John Neumeier. This award "For selfless service to the art of dance" was specially made first ever in 40 years for the Ulanova Foundation by the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory in Sankt-Petersburg.

My new novel Warpath into Sonora is available for preorder!
My new novel, a Western from the Apache point of view, is available for preorder on Amazon. Warpath into Sonora uses a lot of the research I did for my latest military history book, Apache Warrior vs US Cavalryman: 1846–86. I spent two years studying the Apache way of war and had so much left over that couldn't fit into the history book that I decided to write a novel. It even includes a recipe for making poison out of a rotting deer spleen! What more could you want? The blurb is below.
Arizona 1846
Nantan, a young Apache warrior, is building a name for himself by leading raids against Mexican ranches to impress his war chief, and the chief's lovely daughter.
But there is one thing he and all other Apaches fear—a ruthless band of Mexican scalp hunters who slaughter entire villages.
Nantan and his friends have sworn to fight back, but they are inexperienced, and led by a war chief driven mad with a thirst for revenge. Can they track their tribe's worst enemy into unknown territory and defeat them?
