Welcome to my keep! My name is Sue. I'm an artist, photographer, anglophile, ardent reader (Tell me a story!), film buff, music fanatic, and all-around-omnivore-of-the-world-around-me. Under the cover of superficial cynicism (I'm old enough to know better), I'm actually an insufferable optimist. I live in the October Country and keep a Halloween tree decorated and lit year-round. I adore Ray Bradbury, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, ghost stories, fan fiction, fan art, Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, children's literature, Steampunk, artists, musicians, poets, writers, photographers, philosophers, and anyone who just has something to communicate.

I then used the video function, and i can assure you, that i beats any hd prosumer camera out there by miles....i was blown away...amazed...its really re-assuring when you use it and, you feel like james Cameron after a few minutes...great stuff...
Now i just have to find 4k to buy one...lol

When I'm in the creative flow, I escape into a world that is bright, pure, and almost magical. Colors, shapes and textures mingle with a collection of thoughts and splashes of imagination, creating the perfect harmony. As a designer, I want to transform this abstract state of mind into a beautiful stimulation for the eye, and a visual language that communicates moments of joy in life.

Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
they say itachi is pretty much a genius or whatever because of his knowledge and skills and etc...
buh if itachi was sooooo smart, how could he not know "tobi" wasnt really madara ?
He's smart, but not God.
the mask.....and he didnt know madara or obito...so he just took tobis word for it because of his vast knowledge on the uchiha.....
he ain't perfect
he doesnt have X-ray vision... -___-
and because tobi is not retarded
Since when does being smart mean you know everything?
That's like saying, "If Itachi is so smart, why did his plan for Sasuke fail?" or "If Itachi is so smart, why couldn't he find a cure for his illness and find a way to be immortal and find a way to be god etc. etc.?"

Evern Minato who was smart as Itachi thought Obito was Madara.
Actually he was right about obito

Hemi Buildup on a '55 Chevy Bel Air! - Roadkill Ep. 29
In Episode 8 of Roadkill we introduced you to the greatest engine swap project ever—a Hemi into a 1955 Chevy Bel Air. Nearly two years later, we finally get Mike Finnegan's Mopar-powered Tri-Five on the road, but not without a few problems along the way. Blown head gaskets, frayed wires, and severe sleep-deprivation are all overcome as Finnegan, Freiburger, and friends push to get this polarizing project car running again in time for an epic road trip. The BlaspHEMI '55 Chevy rides on a Jim Meyer Racing Gasser tube chassis with Viking coilover dampers and Firestone Cheater slicks out back. Up front the car has a tubular straight axle, parallel leaf springs and tires small enough to fit on a VW Bug. The rear axle is a John's Industries 9-inch with 5.43:1 gears. The Hemi began life as a 528ci Mopar crate engine, which Finnegan rebuilt with a 0.030-inch overbore, ported aluminum heads, and a Comp Cams solid roller cam. The mill is topped off with a Hilborn stack injection system with EFI controlled by a FAST EF

Muscle Truck vs. Baja Bug! - Roadkill Ep. 28
Remember the drag racing '74 Chevy Muscle Truck from Roadkill Episode 18? It's back, but with a twist: it's gonna become a true dual-sport ride for surf and turf, shedding its drag slicks for Super Swamper Boggers and hitting the sand dunes...hard! And to prove that a lowered, two-wheel-drive pickup can dominate the dunes, Freiburger and Finnegan set up a shootout with Fred Williams from the Dirt Every Day series on the Motor Trend channel. Fred brought out his '69 VW Baja Bug from DED Episode 23 and went head to head with the Muscle Truck on the beach at Pismo, California.

It is that time to pause and think about the incredible life and contributions of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., oftentimes referred to as MLK. He was named Michael King Jr. after his father who later changed both their names to Martin Luther, in honor of the religious reformer.
Once again, Koch brothers cash will face off against a people-powered campaign in Wisconsin this November. The race is for a House seat in the first Congressional District, a seat now held by Paul Ryan. His challenger – the first serious challenge he's faced in 14 years in Congress – is Rob Zerban, a restaurateur and County Commissioner.
Everywhere I go during my campaign — parades, farmers markets, even the local deli — I keep hearing the same thing from Wisconsin voters. "We need real representation," they tell me, "representation that's focused on the people and what we need."
"The message is clear: Paul Ryan must be held accountable for his 14 years of failed decisions"
"He had a minor in economics," Rob Zerban says of his opponent. "What experience does he have to say that he's the great budget oracle?" "The people of the First District can see where that budget impacts their lives. Their bridges start to crumble. We've got 16 bridges on federal highways alone in the district that have been declared structurally deficientm and that doesn't include county and local municipal bridges.
Typically during an election cycle, it often comes down to voting for the lesser of two evils. You choose the one who supports the issues most meaningful to you – or at least doesn't outright defy them. It can be difficult to encounter a candidate who personifies the conviction and integrity you would imagine only in a perfect political world.
Today, Rob Zerban, Democratic Congressional challenger to Congressman Paul Ryan, released the following statement in response to the introduction of Paul Ryan's FY2013 "Path to Poverty" budget.
"In yet another misguided handout to Wall Street at the expense of Main Street, Congressman Paul Ryan today introduced his latest budget plan, designed to place the blame for his 14 years of poor decisions squarely on the backs of our hardworking families.
When I began this campaign, I made a commitment to serve as a voice of the people- not of corporations.
I have been putting that into action. In the last few weeks, I have been working overtime to kickoff my campaign with rallies across the district.
The American Civil Liberties Union, Free Press and the Save the Internet campaign have made it clear that the Stop Online Piracy Act poses a genuine threat to human rights advocacy and whistleblowing on the Web.
On Friday, September 12th more than 150 activists will go to DC and Demand that their Senators and Representatives support removing the ratification deadline from the ERA (SJ Res 15 and HJ Res 113)

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 14, 2009) — Lady Lumberjack overtook pacesetter Pinkerbelle at the sixteenth pole and drew off to score a three-length victory in the $48,000 feature as jockey Rafael Bejarano capped a three-win afternoon Thursday at Hollywood Park.
Lady Lumberjack, a 3-year-old daughter of Forestry owned by Roger Licht and David Milch, covered 6 ½ furlongs on Cushion Track in 1:15.59 while registering her second win in six starts.
The 2-1 betting choice, she paid $6, $2.80 and $2.40. Wynning Ride returned $3.20 and $2.60, while the show payoff on Hard Kisses was $4.40.
Trained by Julio Canani, Lady Lumberjack banked $28,800 to raise her earnings to $56,000.
Earlier on the program, leading trainer Doug O'Neill sent out 2-year-old Southern Fireball under Bejarano to score a 4 ¼-length win over Ballistic Sue in Cushion Track record time of :50.67 for 4 ½ furlongs. The victory was the 12 of the meeting for O'Neill.
Bejarano overtook Joel Rosario and holds a 25-24 lead atop the jockeys' standings entering Friday night's program at Hollywood Park. Post time is at 7:05 p.m.

Michael Schär was in the long breakaway of Sunday's stage of Tirreno-Adriatico and held on to be the BMC Racing Team's best finisher in the 230-kilometer race.
Schaër One Of The Strongest
Schär worked his way into an eight-man move that gained a seven-minute lead after 80 kilometers of the 230 km race. With 80 km to go, the gap was still more than six minutes. But one by one, Schär's group was reeled in on the day's major climb until only Damiano Cunego (Lampre-Merida) remained in front. Cunego was eventually caught and Joaquín Rodríguez (Katusha) soloed to the stage win. Schär, who also figured in a long breakaway at Strade Bianche last weekend, finished 33rd, 3:52 behind. "When I saw we had nobody in the break, I had to jump across," Schär said. "It was a strong break with Cunego and Juan Antonio Flecha and some good classics riders. On the climb, I rode my tempo and was one of the strongest, which gives you confidence."
Evans Looking Ahead, Not Back
Chris Froome (Sky Procycling) finished sixth on the day to take the overall lead while Cadel Evans, who had been 11th overall, finished 51st and remains the BMC Racing Team's best-placed rider in 29th overall, 8:51 behind. "I came here a long way from the level of the best guys here," Evans said. "So to be competitive on GC (general classification) is beyond my capabilities right now. So my mentality has to adapt to that. But I'll stay calm at the moment and look at the situation as it is and look forward to the upcoming races." BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Max Sciandri said the team will have one objective Monday before Tuesday's final-stage, individual time trial. "Tomorrow's the last road stage and it's going to be a really hard one," he said. "I think we'll be on the attack."

Speert found the hat rack in the front entry of the home at an antiques store. The image in the center of it however, came from a tambourine, and was an embellishment by her.
The armoire in the living room originally had mirrored doors on it. To create a West Indies vibe, Speert removed the mirrors and instead set woven raffia into the panels.
Above, the drafting table in the living room where Speert likes to sit and draw. The chairs in this photo have since been replaced with peacock chairs that have more of a cottage feel. For more photos, visit Speert's Web site, badass bungalow.
"Those wooden chairs [flanking the shelf] were the first pieces of furniture I bought, and they kind of set the tone for the whole house," said Speert of her eBay purchases.
The lamp, birds, and shell were all eBay finds.
Speert bought all of the items on the side table from eBay to elaborate on the tropical theme of the home.
The designer chose a palette with colors that flow from room to room. Here, the blues of the living room give way to the blues and greens of the study. Faux bamboo detailing on the imperial desk adds a touch of the West Indies flair that characterizes the house.
Paint-by-numbers pieces decorate the walls in the study. Says Speert, "I don't remember what gave me the idea, but it just seemed like such a fun thing to do and such a silly thing to do. I wanted this house to have a little bit of silliness in it because it's my vacation home. "
Not many of us would look at an antique drying rack and think "chandelier." Speert added some metal wiring to fashion the antique into a light fixture.
The bar in the dining room is ideal for a second home where entertaining and relaxation are frequent.
In the kitchen, Speert changed the original drawer and cabinet door fronts, changed the countertop to mahogany, and continued the tropical theme of the home by adding a backsplash made of seafoam green subway tiles.
The nightstand lamps in the guest bedroom were an antique store find that Speert thought were too wonderful to pass up. Finding the right lampshades took time, but, she says, "One of the advantages of decorating your own house is that you can put in temporary stand ins until you find what you're looking for--you can't do that with a client's house." For photos of the new lampshades, visit badass bungalow.
At first, the bird paintings that hang above the bed were too crisp and white for the look the designer was going for, so she scrubbed them with tea to give them a more aged appearance.
"The fun thing about [second homes] is that you're starting with a blank slate. You can go in any direction you want," said Speert. It also gave her the green light for collecting. "I like collections. Once I've got more than one of something I'm in trouble." The most prominent collection in the Florida home is 1940s ceramic figurines of tropical birds.
The top of the guest room armoire is the perfect place for displaying Spert's collection of vases.
The mirrors in the master bath were originally a dark mahogany, but the designer repainted them to resemble bamboo and better fit the tropical theme of her home.
All of the rooms in the house are covered in bamboo wallpaper. "I liked the woody tropical texture," Speert says. "If there's a wall to put wallpaper on I will. I find walls that have wallpaper on them are cozier."
In order to avoid cords visible on the counter and dangling behind the vanity, Speert drilled holes in the countertop. The result: a cleaner-looking counterspace.
The fabric on the draperies in the master bedroom has an allover print, while the fabric on the furniture has a subtle stripe in the background. Speert has since re-covered the chair cushion with the same fabric as the draperies.
"This is one of my favorite fabrics. I just think it's beautiful. Although it has somewhat of a tropical feel, it's reminiscent of the cabbage rose prints that I like," says Speert of the pattern that appears throughout her bedroom.
The flower painted on the back of the worn chair next to the dresser gives it a cottage feel.
Photos of Speert (front) and her mother (rear) sit atop the dresser, giving the room a homey feel.
The layout of Speert's U-shaped house allows for lanais access from both bedrooms and the living room. Here is the view from the master bedroom.
Speert wanted the inviting pool area under the lanais to function like an outdoor living area. Outdoor curtains and awnings have since been added.
One of Speert's favorite things to do in Florida is to spend time relaxing by the pool. "I love to sit by the pool on one of the club chairs with my feet up on the ottoman and drink a cup of coffee while I read my newspapers and talk with good friends on the phone."

Extreme Makeover house finally revealed
Around a thousand onlookers witnessed the big extreme makeover home reveal around 6pm yesterday, and there was a lengthy wait for many of them.
Spectators had been gathering in temperatures touching the high 80s since 10am to witness the climax to the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition TV episode, which is expected to air in November.
As the bus was moved out of the way of the house, there were emotional scenes as the Mc Phail family got their first sighting of their new home. The clear up now starts in earnest, but Coker Butte Road is expected to be back to normal in a day or two.

Any tips on improving? Ideas?
I like it, but I would almost like it more if it was like this
* Mises
where the asterisk is the icon. That way the text can all be the same size (or close).
I am not an artist, and this is just a random font I chose to show you what I meant. I stuck the book on the right hand side, it might look better there.
Anyway, that's all I got. Good luck and I hope you win the contest.
What about moving the hat/book thingy to the left side of MIses"?
To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process.
Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!"
Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."
Personally; I prefer it to the right....
Where there is no property there is no justice; a proposition as certain as any demonstration in Euclid
Fools! not to see that what they madly desire would be a calamity to them as no hands but their own could bring
I don't know how you feel about this change, but I just made everything a bit more close together so it's not as spread out.

The BMC Racing Team's seven-rider roster for the season-ending Tour of Beijing includes Vuelta a España stage winner Steve Cummings and Taylor Phinney, silver medalist at the UCI world time trial championships.
Frank An Option For The Overall
Cummings finished fourth in last year's inaugural edition of the race, which begins Tuesday and comprises five road stages. Improving on that performance, Cummings said, might be difficult. "There's no time trial this time and that was a difference-maker last year," he said. "I've also been pretty tired since the world championships so I think it's going to be a hard race for me with the travel, the food and such. But it's the same for everyone." BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Max Sciandri said Mathias Frank is another option for the overall while Phinney and Klaas Lodewyck will have their eyes on stage wins. "We'll take things day-by-day when it comes to the stages, but always keep an eye on the overall," Sciandri said. Frank and Swiss national road champion Martin Kohler also competed in the BMC Racing Team's season-opening race, the Santos Tour Down Under in Australia in January. "It's been a long season," Frank said. "But this will be a nice race to finish it out."

In the Fall of 1923, Central Michigan Normal School's Music Department Head J. Harold Powers enlisted sixteen men and boys, funded the purchase of uniforms, and took on the duties of director of Central's first Football Band. Registrar and Dean of Men Charles C. Barnes lent support for the new group by donning a uniform himself and acting as honorary Drum Major. The band was immediately embraced by the campus community in response to its enthusiastic support of the football team, which has since been the first, best calling of the Chippewa Marching Band. Following Coach Enos' lead, each bandsman's challenge is to "Play with the Heart of a True Champion." Dubbed by the Morning Sun as "The Spirit of the Stadium," the Band stays on its feet, cheering on the Chippewa faithful after every single down, no matter what Mother Nature or the other team may bring.
For 89 years, the Chippewa Marching Band has maintained a tradition of excellence and innovation, summarized in its motto, Semper Superne Nitens - Concordia Ad Astra ("Always Striving Upward - Together To The Stars"). One of the most recognizable public faces of the University, the Band is an invaluable collection of musical ambassadors for CMU, comprised of students from every college and program.
The Band's distinctive and entertaining pregame and halftime performances result from many hours of rehearsal directed by faculty and staff in the CMU School of Music. Associate Director of Bands James Batcheller is in his twelfth year as director and this is the 33rd year in which John E. Williamson has served as CMU's Director of Bands. The Band's percussion section is under the leadership of Professor of Percussion Andrew Spencer. Aiding our faculty are graduate assistants Aaron Evens, Michael King, Tyler Bragg, David Abraham, and Andrew Cote. Support Staff includes Librarian Carol Hebert, Media Production Manager Scott Burgess, Technical Advisor Jon Crain, Facilities Coordinator Dan Koefoed, Director of Music Events John Jacobson, and the School of Music office staff, Mindy Zeneberg, Linda Switalski, and Antoinette Tucker.
Custom musical arrangements are prepared especially for the Band by Roland Barrett, Tim Mocny, Bragg, and Batcheller. The visual designer for the Band's halftime shows is Vincent Noble. The work of our color guard is coordinated and choreographed by Joan Noble-Pruett. Our Color Guard Instructor is Amanda Sayre, Brownstown senior.
Chippewa fans will recognize the distinctive sound of our announcer - the Voice of Kelly/Shorts Stadium, Bryan Wieferich. Bryan's encouragement of sideline officials to "MOVE THOSE CHAINS," is an exciting addition to Game Day!
The honor of leading and conducting the Band on the field has been earned by Corey Jahlas, Highland Senior. This is Corey's first year as head drum major. Julie Claveau, Ludington junior, is in her first year as assistant drum major.

The Star-Spangled Banner
Words by Francis Scott Key
Arrangement by John Higgins
(written on board the Minden during the Battle of Fort McHenry, August 1814; adopted by the United States Congress as the National Anthem in 1931)
Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, o'er ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Words and Music by Howard (Howdy) Loomis (Class of 1935). Arranged by Norman C. Dietz (Class of 1945).

CHIPPEWA, we're proud of that nickname.
Hear our song loud and strong,
CENTRAL is going to win this game!
Come on and ... (Repeat thru "C. M. U.")

Salisbury man charged with drug possession during traffic stop
Law enforcement officials charged a Salisbury man with a history of run-ins with authorities, with drug possession during a Tuesday night traffic stop. Demario Demoane Fisher, 22, of Crosby Street, was charged with felony possession with the intent to manufacture, sell and deliver a controlled substance, driving while license revoked and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Salisbury Police officials said an officer stopped Fisher at 7:44 p.m. at the intersection of South McCoy Road and West Colonial Drive. The officer asked for a driver's license, but Fisher told the officer his license was suspended. The officer smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle and asked Fisher if he had marijuana.
Fisher handed the officer a marijuana roach (a rolled stub) from inside his pocket.
"He said he had smoked before he picked up his aunt," said Capt. Shelia Lingle.
The aunt was inside the car with Fisher, the report said.
Fisher was searched and officers seized a digital scale inside the pocket of Fisher's cargo pants, and four separate bags of marijuana inside a glass jar found under a seat. Fisher also had $61 on him, which was also confiscated. The marijuana totaled 43 grams or 1.5 ounces, a report said.
He was issued a $500 bond and has since been released from the Rowan County jail.
Fisher is expected in court in April on charges of breaking and entering, eluding arrest, traffic infractions, resisting arrest, robbery and drug trafficking stemming from incidents in 2011 and 2012 with multiple law enforcement agencies. According to the report, one of the incidents involved an undercover drug buy where an officer received minor injuries after he was punched.

Recent Carabiner/Quickdraw Reviews
DMM Revolver Screwgate
Great little pulley biner combo. The revolver is a great piece of kit for top roping and glacier travel. It cuts down on rope drag, and it is essentially a built-in pulley, which gives you a huge mechanical advantage especially as a secondary part to crevasse rescue kit. Only complaint is that it won't work with a Petzl Tibloc. Prussicks seem to go fine. Very durable and while the gate opening is a bit narrow, it is easy enough to figure out. Full review
Petzl Ange Finesse S & L Quickdraws
This is a great and lightweight quickdraw for sport climbers. Clipping in and cleaning these draws is a breeze. Highly recommended. I have been using these draws for about four months now and they have never let me down. Compared to my other draws, climbing with these you hardly feel their weight and are extremely easy to clip. Well made draw that is very durable and will last a very long time. Full review
Black Diamond Oval Wire Carabiner
Caution: I DON'T CLIMB. So if you're looking for a review of this product based on its use as a climbing accessory, you won't find it here. I bought these carabiners for use as an accessory biner. They only cost a couple dollars more than the cheap accessory biners, so I thought the extra $ was worth it to know that I'll probably never come up with a way to destroy them. I recommend these for use as a general use biner for attaching things to your pack or belt, and for making a simple pulley system… Full review
Petzl Spirit Express
Carabiner does not snag rope or bolt when clipping due to closing structure. The webbing is thick and has a rubber piece on the "rope end" of the draw to prevent twisting. Best for sport climbing (of course!). A little more expensive than most draws though but quality seems very high. Everything on this product works the way it should. The material feels to be top-quality. The only downside is that a rack of 6 can cost over 100. Most racks of 6 quickdraws are much less expensive. I have had these… Full review
Black Diamond HotWire
A good, basic carabiner. I think of these as a lighter replacement for my old standard ovals or Ds, primarily for long slings. These have a good feel. A good all purpose carabiner. Full review
Black Diamond Posiwire Quickdraw
Easy clipping and an extremely reliable draw. What more is there to say? The fact that draws have very minimal moving parts makes for a reliable piece of equipment, but a piece of equipment that is so important that it must be made well enough to not fail on you. I can say that I have yet to have a problem with these draws. I used to use Petzl Spirits but saw a set of these for a sweet price and decided to go for it. I do not regret that decision. The Posiwires are now my go to draw! Black Diamond… Full review
Black Diamond Magnetron RockLock
Large auto locking carabiner. Not worth this girl's money. I purchased this biner because of its size and the magnetic catch. I like a larger biner for a double line munter (as a backup plan in case something goes wrong with my Reverso). I thought it may pose a problem for ice but that was not the issue. The magnetic catch is not an ergonomic fit for me. I have small to medium woman's hands and when I reach for release it is just out of my grasp. Only by millimetres! What a pain in the butt! I then… Full review
Simond Spider Screwgate
Lightweight, excellent screwgate locker that has a perfectly shaped nose to make clipping extremely easy. The best locking beiner for personal anchor systems at the top of a long difficult route. This carabiner is the best I have used to attach a personal anchor system at the top of a route. The nose is shaped in a way that it is quite open (bent out) compared to other screwgate lockers, so clipping is extremely easy. The diameter of the carabiner is around a medium sized thickness. Since the… Full review
Metolius Element Belay Carabiner
*Dislike. I marked this biner, used it once, and retired it to the shelf. Thankfully, I only bought one. The gate takes too many spins and it doesn't spin freely. Full review

Hello, friends! It's WTF Wednesday (on Thursday)! »
You guys, with all the stress of this thesis and nerve-wracking interviews (I have had about a million and am still waiting, so cross your fingers for me), and turning 27 (which begins with me questioning whether I've done enough with my life and ends with me insisting that the only way that I can make this year the best of my life is by wearing bright red shoes to work), I have been at my wit's end. So you know what I did this weekend? I bought a knitting machine. Why?
Because I have decided that my hobby, which I enjoy and is supposed to make me less stressed, actually makes me somewhat more anxious (what with all the dropped stitches and the tangling) so I needed to find a way to make it less stressful. The bad news is that the machine is going to take about a week to get here. The good news is that I've spent the past few days watching this woman, Cheryl Brunette, teach me how to make sweaters by machine. What I like best is that all of these sweaters, and her patterns, are straight out of the '80s and will make gift-making a complete joy.
You know what else stresses me out? Charities that don't do what they're supposed to. I'm not even talking about Madonna's or Oprah's charities, because you expect those to be disasters, but my good friend Adrienne sent me a link to this super-sad article about ex-racehorses that are starving to death because the charity tasked with their upkeep has not made good on their mission. WTF, Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation? You're supposed to be feeding and caring for these horses, chilling with them and making them feel loved! Instead, you're starving them to death? What is wrong with you? I get that donations are down (this is a horrible economy, I empathize) but you knew this was happening and were all, We'll just stop paying farms for upkeep and hope for the best. "The best," as it turns out, is euthanizing a horse suffering from malnutrition. This leads me to another point: If you're supposed to provide upkeep for a retired horse who has already been through a lot, don't be pulling a Ms. Hannigan and letting horses die under your care. Like I said above, I get it, the economy is horrible, but get it the fuck together. Some ideas: Contact the g-d media. If the horses have been neglected for a while now, why is this the first we're hearing of it? Horses ain't done nothing to you except be hella majestic. Treat them with respect!
Our next link comes from my boyfriend Allen. Oh, before I get into this, I have to tell you about how we went to Dash Cafe tonight and heard the most obnoxious book club (why is this not done at someone's house?) discussing The Art of Racing in The Rain, which actually sounds pretty awesome, and is about a family drama told from the point of view of a dog named Enzo Ferrari. However, the people discussing the book were being super loud and laying out incredible gems such as, "I mean, this book was OK, but I wouldn't see it if it were made into a movie. The movie ruined Twilight for me, and now I can't think of Edward as anyone but Robert Pattinson!" (Note: Stephenie Meyer ruined Twilight with her plot and writing. The movie just made it worse.) And, "DOGS ARE VERY EMPATHIC! ANYONE WHO DOES NOT LIKE DOGS IS A COMPLETE FUCK-UP AT LIFE! I'M SORRY, BUT IT'S TRUE!" The last of these actually offended me because Allen, while OK with animals, does not particularly like them, and I resent that some dude was loudly proclaiming that anyone who is not into dogs is a fuck-up. People are fuck-ups for very different reasons (one of them being inclined to loudly make proclamations and blanket statements in a tiny cafe where everyone is trying to enjoy their expensive sandwiches).
If there's one thing this dude had right it's that dogs are very empathic. A good example of that is this amazing dog who stayed with his sick friend in the aftermath of the tragedy in Japan. That's some empathy and loyalty for you. Tragedy is all around and this dog is all "This is my friend, yo. I'm not going without him!" Luckily, it has been reported that the dogs have both been rescued and should be okay. Come on, though, that is awesome. How many of us have a friend that would do that for us? I can only think of two people. One of them is my mother, who would stand there and tell me exactly what I did wrong to get into the position that I needed her to risk her personal safety in order to deal with me. The other is not Allen, because he would be gone like a shot as soon as Prison Wives returned from its commercial break. He just loves to watch people make bad decisions on cable television.
That's a real bird, you guys! No Photoshopping! How is this amount of cuteness even possible? Also, is it bad that I want this bird to be my friend? Man, you know what would be awesome? Hanging out with Cheryl Brunette AND this bird, knitting and eating birdseed and wearing giant clip-on earrings. That would be amazing!
That's it for this week. Send me links for next week and have a happy
Wednesday Thursday!

The Importance Of Medical Billing And Coding
Although it is in the professions name, some are not aware that a medical billing and coding professional, is actually to separate jobs in one. Many offices hire either one or the other, but there are those who hire one person to perform both jobs. It is usually a smaller office, with out as much patient flow, as say, a larger hospital, with many patients being seen on a daily basis.
A medical biller, would be one who would take the information that the medical coder had already provided, regarding diagnosis's and procedures, and input those codes to an electronic insurance claim form to be sent via internet, for a speedy return of reimbursement. Knowing what each insurance company expects on their submissions can be tricky when first learning the process, and to a degree there may be a bit of trial and error, initially. Once a system is established, the process is usually error proof, but it does take experience.
The medical coder is one who would analyze and decipher, from the physicians notes, what codes would need to be used in order for the maximum medical reimbursement return, for the services in which the physician has provided to the patient. The job usually involves a great deal of research and analysis.
What Are CPT Codes
For those of us who work in the medical billing & coding career field, we know how important it is to use the correct CPT codes, when working with insurance forms. The definition of a CPT code is, Current Procedural Terminology, which is the standard name described and authorized by the American Medical Association, to consistently classify and recognize medical procedures.
The five alpha numeric characters that indicate an exact procedure performed by healthcare professionals. Every year, in January and sometimes in July, the American Medical Association (AMA) is responsible for updating the coding standards and obliterating the codes that are non-existent. Most medical offices are on the lookout, for the updates, come, January. To not be prepared, could mean delays in insurance reimbursements, and possibly denials, due to wrongful coding.
There are also modifiers to CPT codes, that are available to the medical coder, as they allow additional information to be added to the original procedure, in order to better explain what the physician has performed. With these added use of addendum's in some processes, allows the elimination of fewer errors in the billing process, and in turn grants speedier payments.
The bottom line is that the outcome of both jobs, either the medical biller or the medical coders, are equally a great benefit to the offices who employ these highly skilled professionals.
The Physical Therapy Assistant Career And Psychology
It is highly doubtful that asking an elementary school student, "what would you like to grow up to be", would elicit an ìI want to be a Physical Therapy Assistant response. First of all, it is highly doubtful that most if not all students, even know what a physical therapy assistant is, much less, what they do for a living.
This is one of the many healthcare careers that labor in obscurity behind the more glamorous and better known like, Nurse, Doctor, and Plastic Surgeon, as discussed on a career health blog. Too many will never know a physical therapist until they need one.
Children are more apt to respond about the celebrity and other characters that they have access to on a daily basis. They are bombarded by action and excitement on television and in the movies, and thus seek to emulate their favorite hero's. Even the most painfully precise, analytical and research role of a crime scene investigator, has been elevated to super hero status today.
The truth is that few if any CSI members have ever pulled their service revolver, yet they do it all the time on TV and even make the arrests of the bad guys. This is what kids see, and know, and why they think this will be exciting to, be a part of. No one ever said that physical therapy would be exciting, no one, but those who have had their lives restored to a sense of normalcy after an accident or injury.
Psychological Obstacles Affecting the Physical Therapy Assistant
The physical therapy assistant of today plays a very tenuous balancing act when it comes to performing their services for their patient's. Bedside manner plays an important role when ministering to your clientele, but each patient is a different individual and can be expected to respond differently to different stimuli.
Some people need a great deal of support and encouragement, and are very fragile both physiologically and emotionally when it comes to their affliction and disability. Others with much stronger mental capacities and emotional stabilities would never accept being treated as one might treat a fragile patient.
The physical therapy assistant must be able to recognize both individuals and address them accordingly. While empathy is certainly called for when treating patients, too much emotional expression can have a detrimental effect on the progress of a therapy. On the other hand, the attempt to remain aloof can also be interpreted as a sign of disdain and disinterest. Definitely not the way you want your patient's to view you.
Jobs For A Pharmacy Tech
The duties required of a pharmacy tech vary somewhat according to what kind of pharmacy they work in. For instance the list of duties which a retail pharmacy technician is expected to perform is generally not as involved as the list which a pharmacy tech working on a hospital pharmacy would be expected to do.
For instance, in the hospital a pharmacy tech may be expected to restock operating rooms and anesthesia trays. However, there is no need for such a task in a retail pharmacy. A common task for a retail pharmacy tech is requesting refills from a doctor's office for patients. In a hospital this is generally not necessary.
In a long-term care facility a pharmacy tech might be expected to deal with controlled substances and the documentation involved in dispensing those drugs. On the other hand, this would not be necessary in a nuclear pharmacy, in which radioactive products are handled.
As you can see there's quite a bit of variation in the jobs the pharmacy tech is expected to perform.
Where to Work As a Pharmacy Technician
When you go to look for a job as a pharmacy tech, don't forget that there are jobs available in more places than your local retail drugstore pharmacy. Although that may be a good place to begin your search.
Retail Pharmacy
Your local retail pharmacy is often what springs to mind when first considering a job as a pharmacy tech. Pharmacy techs and retail pharmacy fill prescriptions, restock over-the-counter medications, answer phones, and restock the medicine supplies when they are received from a supplier. In addition, they may be expected to perform administrative functions such as ensuring that the pharmacy has authorization from a insurance company to fill a prescription.
Hospital Pharmacy
In a hospital pharmacy to pharmacy tech performs many of the same functions as they would a retail pharmacy however they also have extra duties such as restocking drugs for operating room's and for anesthesiologists.
These are just two of the most common types of jobs where a pharmacy tech might find employment. Other places may include working as a pharmacy tech in a long-term care facility, or even a nuclear medicine pharmacy.
There are many unexpected places in which a pharmacy tech might find employment.
X-ray Technician And Training
To enhance an image through radiology is what an x-ray technician would be required to do as their job. Radiology has been a field that has been growing rapidly in the medical industry due to advances in technology. In order to become a successful x-ray technician with a career that will be very much in demand throughout their lifetime, one would first need to become educated and trained within this field. The potential to earn a good living certainly goes hand in hand with this career choice.
X-Ray Technicians Earn A Great Salary
The x-ray technician career is one of the most highest earning professions in the healthcare industry. We use diagnostic imaging for many insightful diagnoses and procedures, as many medical procedures demand such services. Some areas that use these methods are in gynecology and women healthcare, neuroscience, obstetrics, vascular technology and many other specialized fields.
One great help that has contributed to the advancement of this career has been modern technology. Science is always working on new methods to improve the testing and diagnoses of ailments and diseases, with devices that improve the imaging process, one would have the advantage of using high tech pieces that make ones job easier.
Training To Be An X-Ray Tech
All throughout the United States it is a requisite that before one is able to work in any clinical setting as an x-ray technician, its imperative that they obtain their certification in the field. There are many different ways to become educated for this bright and thriving career. Many community colleges offer the x-ray training program. Once one has successfully completed a program they are able to sit for their licensing examinations.
If a student would like to pursue higher education, to be able to perform other imaging opportunities, a bachelors degree is advised. With the more advanced education comes the specialized fields of performing MRI's, which are magnetic resonance imaging, CT scans, and mammograms. All these types of imaging have become staples in the medical field for diagnosing a patient.
It is important, when one considers this career path that they enjoy working with patients to better improve their health. In training, learning how to work with patients and the proper positioning and safety precautions is crucial to obtaining the best images. Much of their clinical portion of their training is fulfilled in hospitals where working with real patients, with the close supervision of their superior. This allows the technician "hands on" work, applying the knowledge that they have studied.
Once one has fulfilled all their education requirements and passed their certification examinations, they are able to seek employment. Some will choose the clinical setting of a hospital, others can be sales representatives for the actual imaging equipment and others may work in a lab. Whichever surrounding one chooses, it is definitely known that their future success is looking good.
Ultrasound Technician Jobs – Great Pay And Minimal Training Needed
The high paying salary for an ultrasound tech is just one example of an occupation that pays well with minimal training required. Today we are living in a world that has now been heavily influenced by modern technological developments that are becoming part and parcel of modern living.
Many sectors in the medical field have witnessed a huge boost economically as a result of introduction of technology as part of daily procedures. According to popular ultrasound technician blog, the medical industry has also had its fair share of advantages that it has derived from technological transformations one of them being ultrasound technology.
This is a modern form of diagnosis that utilizes modern equipment and tools running on high technological platforms to diagnose illnesses and various medical conditions affecting the body. Ultrasound technicians have witnessed a major boost in terms of technology as machines are coming up each day, this has made this field to be more popular and recognized and those who associated this field with a low ultrasound technician salary are beginning to have a change of mind as they are currently earning very attractive perks.
Ultrasound Technician Salary
Have you ever wondered how much a ultrasound technician makes? Their salary is very profitable if you based and compare it to other jobs. The beginning salary of an ultrasound technician is about $40,000 annually. This is not bad, considering how the economy is today. But it can still grow. If you work hard, the possibility of earning more than double your beginning salary is within your reach. There is a chance that you will eventually earn around $85,000 a year.
This is really something considering the nature of the job of an ultrasound technician. All you have to do is enroll on a course that will help you become an ultrasound technician and pretty soon you will be allowed to start your work. There are many job opportunities in hospitals as well as other facilities like clinics and doctor's office. You should apply where the place suits you best.
Educational Requirement to Become an Ultrasound Technician
Any individual who is interested in building his career as a sonographer, may train for a year in ultrasound technician schools and earn a certificate for it, or take a 2-year associate's degree, or finish a 4-year bachelor's degree. If time and financial resources are an issue, taking one-year training may suffice for a while; however the income may not be maximized.
The study programs are categorized into 3 portions. The first one is the classroom learning where theories are learned. The second one is the laboratory where the student gets to see and touch the machine and so some relevant experiments. The third and last one is the externship. Externships provide opportunities for experiential learning through practical experiences. The students are observed, trained and graded by a visiting doctor or a licensed ultrasound technician.
The CNA Career – Salary And Getting Started
There is nothing better than having a career that has many benefits. We all know that immediately after you are offered a job, the first thing you ask, is what the benefits package is. Having a job that has benefits, such as house allowance and health coverage is good because you will always be at ease knowing you will never sleep outside and in case you are sick you can visit the hospital without high costs. The certified nurse assistant career comes with an attractive salary and also various benefits.
If you want to know, how much does a cna make in your state, you should research online on a site like cnasalary.biz, to see the average salaries paid. You should know that with a job that offers benefits you will not be forced to use your salary if for instance you get sick and need healthcare. If you are a young person and you are wondering what career to pursue, deciding to become a certified nurse assistant will be a wise decision. If you decide to become a certified nurse assistant get ready to learn a lot and make a great income.
What Are the CNA's Duties and Responsibilities?
In most health care facilities, cna duties are almost alike and that they are all intended to care for the patient. When a CNA starts his shift in a hospital, he will be informed of the room assignments of his patients. In addition, once the nurses for that shift have been provided by their report from the previous shift, the nurse will meet with the CNA and give them more detailed medical information and explain to them what would be the appropriate care to give to their patients.
All throughout their shift, the CNA will obtain vital signs once in a while and document them on the patient's chart. They will assist with using the restroom, either using a bedpan or by helping the patient to the bathroom. The CNA may also need to remain with their patients to ensure their safety or when a need arises.
If a patient is diabetic, they may be required to check periodically patient's sugar levels at the start and end of shift, and they will also be in charge for supervising the meals that are provided for the patient. The CNA must also be alert of food the patient is discouraged to have in case of faults made in the kitchen when preparing their tray. Hospital patients usually require nominal assistance with hygiene, primarily needing their supplies set up for them as they wash themselves, and some patients do require absolute hygiene care. They should also clean a room once the patient has been discharged, providing clean linens and hospital gowns.
How to Find Online CNA Classes
The internet is a great way to find cna classes, both online and for local institutions where you can take these classes. Many are choosing to go the e-learning route because it is so convenient. You are able to work at your own pace and learn from the comfort of home. This really is a great way to become a certified nursing assistant f you are a self starter and you are disciplined enough to complete you assignments.
Search engines like Google and Yahoo make it very easy to fine the type of classes you are looking for. You simply navigate to Google's main page and type in "cna classes" or alternatively you could also type in "online colleges" to find some reputable institutions. Upon search you will likely find many choices and it is important to do your due diligence to be sure you enroll in a reputable school.
