Course Number: PS101
Course Title: Introduction to Psychology
Fall 2005: Aug.2 – Sept.22, 2005
Meeting Times: Tuesday/Thursday
7:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Site: Ft. Bliss, Texas
Instructor: Bob Onick, M.Ed., L.P.C.
Phone: (915) 821-0660
I. Course Description: This course is designed to provide a survey of the assumptions, history, methods, and techniques of psychology. A presentation of representative theory and research in the areas of consciousness, learning, motivation, cognition, personality, and social behavior will be included.
II. Goals of the Course: To provide the student with a conceptual (and experiential, whenever applicable) examination and inquiry into basic principles of psychology.
III. Learning Objectives:
A. Be able to understand and comprehend theories, concepts and principles related to the field of psychology (motivation, cognitions, personality).
B. Be willing to describe, recreate, define and make comparisons and contrasts concerning different approaches to learning/behavior.
C. Be willing to apply various aspects of the course content and activities to personal experiences within the context of one's day-to-day involvement with human beings and human behavior(s).
D. Be willing to observe and disclose personal reactions related to the course content and activities (especially in the social behaviors arena).
E. Be willing to commit to and keep class agreements and negotiations concerning ground rules for the course or renegotiate the agreements as needed with the instructor during the course.
IV. Course Arrangement: Lecture, presentations, and discussions will be utilized by the instructor throughout the course. Additionally, structured experiential activities as well as student presentations and discussions will be integrated periodically.
V. Course Requirements:
A. Readings and Journal Reaction Sheets: Read all material, both text readings and class handouts, in advance of assigned dates. Examine the material carefully in terms of the personal meaning it holds for you. Assignments correspond directly and support planned class activities and provide a background for understanding and realizing what is taking place. Assessment of readings (for grading purposes) will be done by periodic examination of reaction sheets entered in the student's journal. Examination of journal entries by the instructor will take place two or three times during the course; however, entries from the readings are to be made each week (weeks 3 – 7).
NOTE: After reading assigned material, and in advance of assigned dates, write a concise two-page analysis for one chapter from the assigned readings each week. The two-page reaction sheets are to be dated and entered in the student's journal on the appropriate dates assigned. The "summary" will go on the front side of the first page while the student's personal reactions to the readings are to be written on the front side of the second page.
B. Class Activities Reaction Sheets: Reaction sheets may be entered in the journal (for grading purposes) on a weekly basis which summarize the previous week's classroom activities and your personal reactions to the activities. These reaction sheets would be in addition to the reading reaction sheets.
These are not required and may be negotiated by individual students. The format is the same as reaction sheets to the assigned readings.
C. Take-Home Questions: Questions pertaining to class activities and assigned readings will be distributed to students on three occasions during the course. Students will have one week to answer or respond to the questions in writing at home and return the following class session. The number of questions will range from 3 to 7 for each distribution. Assessment will be based on the student's ability to recreate personal and interpersonal experiences from class activities and personal interpretation of the content material.
D. Class Participation: Since the course focuses on people and since all sessions will involve experiential activities and exercises involving class participants, active and consistent attendance and participation is needed from all students enrolling in the course. Assessment will be based on the instructor's observation of student performance and will be communicated and negotiated with each student during the course of the class and again at the end of the course.
E. Negotiated Course Agreements: Once the course ground rules have been negotiated, students will be assessed a grade by the instructor based on the extent to which the negotiated agreements have been actualized, demonstrated and performed.
VI. Textbook: Psychology: 7th edition; David G. Myers; worth Publishers; 2004.
VII. Supplemental Resource Material List: Pertinent handouts and articles from current publications will be assigned periodically by the instructor as needed. Psychological inventories/assessments will be made available for extra credit assignments.
VIII. Course Grading Policies:
Categories for Grading: % of Final Grade:
A. Journal Reaction Sheets ______________
1. (Reading Reaction Sheets) ______________
2. (Class Reaction Sheets) ______________
B. Take-Home Questions ______________
C. Class Participation Presentations ______________
D. Negotiated Course Agreements ______________
1. At the beginning of the course students will be asked to assess the percentage of their total grade they want determined by each of the categories. They will communicate their intentions in writing to the class instructor and these will be binding unless renegotiated by both parties during the course of the term or at the end of the term.
2. At, or near, the end of the course, students will be asked to personally evaluate their achievements in the course. This evaluation will be based on the stated objectives of the course and on the evidence of record from the above categories. Each will be asked to assess: a) the degree to which your participation in class activities has been active, thoughtful, and productive with respect to the negotiated class ground rules, b) the degree to which you have met the intent of the assigned readings and instructions,
c) the degree to which you have actually performed or demonstrated the course objectives.
3. As a part of this evaluation assessment, each student will be asked to recommend their course grade at the last course meeting. With regard to the assignments and recording of grades, the course instructor reserves two alternatives based on the evidence of record and personal perceptions of each students:
[1] To validate the grade justified by the student, or
[2] If experiences differ, to confer with the student to obtain a mutually agreed upon or negotiated course grade.
No grade will be submitted to the registrar that has not been accepted by the student as justified as long as the student is willing to engage in communication and negotiation of the different perceptions with the class instructor within the group setting.
4. No category (A – D) can count for more than 35% of your grade and each category has to count at least 15% (with the exception of the category that is optional). Additionally, written work categories (A & B) must equal a combined percentage of 50% of the final grade and performance categories (C & D) must also equal 50% of the final grade. Students will determine their percentages within the four categories in line with these overall guidelines.
5. Individual assignments to be graded will be assessed on the basis of completeness, accuracy and validity and will reflect the following scale:
A . . .90% or over
Below 60% will be returned to student to be redone and reassessed and an incomplete grade will be recorded until the work is finalized.
NOTE: Grades for Class Participation will be determined according to the degree to which students complete their class presentations; actively engage in small group, experiential activities; and participate in large group discussions of class content material.
Grades for Negotiated Agreements will reflect the degree of integrity demonstrated by the students in making, actualizing and completing any course agreements and/or ground rules negotiated throughout the duration of the semester.

More layoffs to report in Eastern Carolina.
Domtar Corporation announced Monday that 185 people will lose their jobs at the end of February. Domtar is permanently shutting down one of the two paper machines at the plant in Plymouth, according to a press release.
The layoffs will affect various parts of the mill.
"Continued adverse economic conditions and the decline of fine paper orders require that we reduce our uncoated freesheet manufacturing capacity," said John D. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer of Domtar. "Plymouth employees have made commendable efforts over the years to keep their facility operating efficiently and I want to thank all affected employees for their hard work and dedication," Mr. Williams said in a press release.

Online search giant Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) reported earnings last week that showed sharp improvements over the fourth quarter from the previous year. Driven by robust advertising growth, the company's business is accelerating again. Although the earnings were impressive, the Street was looking for more, so Google stock initially went lower. Despite all the byplay with Google's China problems, its founders' plan to sell a large block of shares and the Street's reaction to Google, this shouldn't obscure the positive results.
IN PICTURES: 10 Biggest Losers In Finance
Google's Numbers
Google reported $6.13 a share net income or a total of $1.97 billion, compared to $1.21 a share or $382 million in last year's fourth quarter. Revenue was $6.67 billion compared to $5.7 billion in the same quarter last year. Last year included a $1.1 billion charge for the declining value of some Google investments. While the analyst estimates were for $6.43 a share, Google's compensation adjusted earnings were $6.79 per share, so the failure to beat the $6.43 per share estimate was regarding the actual net income rather than the adjusted earnings figures. Regardless, the revenue exceeded estimates of $4.87 billion, so the most reasonable way to look at the report is that with revenue and earnings up strongly in an industry which is still facing possible declines, Google is still the potent online search and advertising king.
Competitors In Many Areas
Google faces wide competition of varying strength on many fronts. With so many areas of internet-based business, in addition to search, mobile apps, video and many more segments in play, not the least of which is of course advertising, there is partial overlap or more with many companies. Even prior to the dust-up in China, Google was not positioned to eclipse Chinese search engine Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU) within China any time soon. Although it's clear that Baidu has parlayed a platform of already developed technologies rather than innovations into its strong position in China, Baidu may not be able to continue doing that indefinitely, whether Google remains in China or not.
Large internet company Yahoo's (Nasdaq: YHOO) best feature is its content, and while many have dismissed Yahoo as old news, it is hardly innovating anymore - one fund manager likes it as an undervalued stock with the opportunity to benefit from cost cutting.
IAC/InterActive Corp (Nasdaq: IACI), parent of Ask.com and a portfolio of internet sites, is one of the companies that's expected to report lower year-over-year earnings, putting a truer light on Google's quarterly performance.
Then there's AOL (NYSE: AOL), the finally spun-off ill-suited former partner of relieved Time Warner (NYSE: TWX). AOL is a shell of what it once was, and although it still has content and delivery as an ancient dial up internet provider, it didn't exactly get off with a bang as a stand alone when it announced layoffs less than a month after beginning its new life. It's hard to see AOL as a threat to anyone.
Google's Advantage
While there are other more formidable competitors to Google, the company continues to dominate the online advertising and search world. Whether branching out with its Android app or Nexus phone will be its next big thing, the core of its search and ad business is most important. Google looks like it will have a strong year when many industries won't. Yes, the stock is still trading at steep levels, at around 26-times earnings, but one reason the Street reacted with disappointment to strong earnings is because expectations for this company remain sky high. It's a bellwether stock, really a king, so it's priced at what looks like a king's ransom. (For more information about investing in technology companies, read Technology Sector Funds.)

MUMBAI: KR Choksey Research is of the view that though valuations of Just Dial (JD) IPO are stretched, its unique business model is likely to play upfront role. Investors with high appetite & wanting to invest in such kind of business model can 'Subscribe' to the IPO, it says.
According to the brokerage, JD follows nearly risk free business model. It takes advance payment from the service providers (advertisers), which significantly reduce the credit risk. Moreover, its business model is hard to replicate by its competitors as payment terms between JD and service providers (advertisers) is linked to JD's credibility and relationship with advertisers.

The Watercooler ~ California Corruption Under Democrat Rule Mirrors Washington, D.C.
Pulling my head out of the muck and mire of Washington's endless scandals, I turned to California politics to find the same dreary reports: California is drowning beneath years of liberal policies that can only be called criminally corrupt. But, don't look too long or too closely. Surely, no one will notice if we just play our cards right. For starters, California's unfunded pension crisis | Read More »

May 24, 2016
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Scottie Wilbekin had 14 points and eight assists, Pat Young recorded his sixth double-double of the season and No. 7 Florida handled No. 25 Kentucky 69-52 on Tuesday night.
The Gators (20-3, 10-1 Southeastern Conference) snapped a five-game losing streak in the series, and coach Billy Donovan improved to 2-7 against Kentucky's John Calipari.
This one solidified Florida's spot atop the league standings.
The Wildcats (17-7, 8-3) lost for the first time in six games, and it may have been costly.
Nerlens Noel, the nation's leading shot-blocker, injured his left knee in the second half and did not return.
Noel, a freshman who averages 10.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 4.5 blocks a game for the defending national champions, landed awkwardly on his leg with about 8 minutes to play. He screamed in pain as trainers rushed to his side. Teammates carried him to the locker room for tests.

Atkinson learning to balance big-play bursts with short-yard punches
NOTRE DAME — In track, the key to a sprinter's success boils down to "stand tall and keep your head up."
In football, that kind of running will you get your helmet knocked off.
Notre Dame running back and former sprinter George Atkinson learned that lesson painfully in April's spring game when linebacker Carlo Calabrese slammed into the ramrod-straight Atkinson as he drove up the middle.
Atkinson took note. His big-play style of running — the 50- and 60-yard footraces he broke away on as a freshmen — is no longer enough.
He's no longer a specialty package. He's a starter.
With Cierre Wood and Theo Riddick, last year's main ballcarriers, graduated, Atkinson was tasked with adding an extra dimension to his game. The coaches knew he had the foot speed to beat anyone on the field, but did he have the gutsy, raw power to push through the middle for short gains?
"Just realizing every play isn't going to be a 50-yard run is a big step for me," Atkinson said. "Last year I was more focused on trying to make that big play, trying to break outside every time, every chance I got to out-run the defense. Now I realize it's about getting those vertical runs, getting those tough yards through the defense. Right now, when I'm running, I'm looking at every chance I get to push it up the field rather than running around people and trying to out-run people. That just comes with maturity and consistency."
Not that he can't still pack those home run plays. He's seen NFL running backs like Adrian Peterson do it enough to understand that running vertical doesn't always happen at the sacrifice of a big gain.
"Sometimes you think they're going just going to get four yards but then they get vertical and break for 60," he said. "You realize that's a key element that you need to put in to be a good back."
Atkinson hung up his track spikes last year in an effort to focus more on football. He said he grew accustomed to running upright in track, a habit he's trying to break now.
He's packed on a healthy 10 pounds since the spring, which he said has mostly been in his lower body. Running through the defense feels more comfortable now, especially when he can dish out a few blows of his own.
It's still very much a work in progress for Atkinson, who was on the receiving end of a couple of earfuls from head coach Brian Kelly during practice on Friday, Aug. 9. After failing to power through the defense during a drill, Kelly zeroed in on the junior, telling him he wasn't playing the way he did the first four days of camp.
Atkinson learned quickly, corrected his error on his next rep and earned a nod of approval from running back coach Tony Alford.
While Atkinson may be the clear starter heading into the season, he has little room for error with the talent stacked behind him.
Classmate Cam McDaniel currently holds the number two spot, but has a finally-healthy Amir Carlisle, redshirt sophomore Will Mahone and blue chip freshmen Greg Bryant and Tarean Folston all bringing a variety of experience and talent to the unit.
Kelly confirmed as much in his post-practice interviews, saying that there might be several roles the other backs can play, but the number one running back will be the player who runs the ball the way the coaches want him to.
"The number one clear back will be the one that runs the ball the most effectively," he said. "That has yet to be determined."
In years past, Kelly spent most of his time during drills hovering around the quarterbacks. Understandably so, since the past few years have involved a position battle or developing a young quarterback into the system.
During Friday's practice, Kelly was almost exclusively with the running backs, which is an unspoken sign of how important this unit will be this year.
"The expectations are high," Carlisle said of the running backs. "We haven't really proven much on the field collectively. We have to make plays for this offense to run. (Kelly being there) shows the importance of our unit to the team and gives us a greater sense of responsibility."

There is skill, of course, but there also has to be a little luck. Or, in the case of the Indianapolis Colts, a lot of Luck.
In the case of the Kansas City Chiefs, no luck, and probably, no skill.
The Colts selected Peyton Manning in the 1998 draft. He gave the team 13 years and is considered one of the greatest QBs of all time. Sure, he is with the Broncos now, but Colts fans are OK with this.
Why? Because the Colts drafted Andrew Luck.
Now, we cannot say Luck will turn into the next Manning, but it certainly looks as if the Colts have their man for the next 13 seasons.
Which brings us to the Kansas City Chiefs. Since 1987, the team has drafted 10 quarterbacks. Those 10 have combined for two wins in the NFL, and zero for the Chiefs.
Heck, even JaMarcus Russell won seven games for the Raiders. Ryan Leaf won four games for the Chargers.
The Chiefs are oh-for-their-last-10-drafted-QBs. That's amazing.
You have to go back to 1983 for a QB drafted by the Chiefs who actually won a game for the Chiefs. Todd Blackledge went 13-11 as a starter for KC in five seasons.
Reportedly, new Wisconsin football coach Gary Andersen called all 106 players/recruits at his former school, Utah State, to tell them he was taking a new job.
Nice to know there still are college football coaches with some class.

Sashaying Parkour Eastergay 2012 Bunny Attacks Newt Gingrich, Leaves Him Violated (Photograph)
There is nothing that makes atheist gays merrier than melting in the backside of innocence, so it's no surprise that creating mushy flesh heated peeps and melted chocolate bunnies are on the top of their agenda this Easter holiday. Here we see an parkour wielding Eastergay bunny fleeing cops in the DC metro, and this is the very gay atheist Easter bunny that allegedly deflowered our poor Senator Newt Gingrich in a shocking row of nose-powdered revelry, drenched clothing and spent, exhausted bodies strewn about on Capitol hill.
EASTER 2012, WASHINGTON DC – Every Easter holiday, America lets her guard down as we mourn and celebrate the sacrifice of our nation's true Savior, Jesus Christ. Just like every holiday (holyday), Jesus is the reason for the season. But there is no way you can spell season without sea, and that's where our backside seeking seamen of sodomy take sail and try to corrupt even this holiday.
For years now we've been aware that gays enjoy dressing up as the Easter bunny. Much like a gay, the bunny has a high libido, loves to mount cats and is generally a very sick, flighty creature who flops and sashays all through the woodlands. And we all know gays love to be nestled in dense thicket of big trunked woodlands. So how can they turn down the chance to ruin a Christian holiday and play touchy-bunny with innocent unsuspecting children over the holidays?
There is nothing more savory to atheist gays than destroying Easter Sunday for good Americans. There is a certain glimmer of hope and joy these dainty hoppers get in their rumpseeking eyes when they offensively call our Lord and Savior a 'zombie' and they literally stamp their feet and gyrate like a Viagral-addicted rabbit in heat when they So this year it's not surprising to find out the atheists have recruited gays to be especially naughty with their typical antics of placing rotten eggs in the baskets of children and melting the holiday chocolates with their musky flesh.
This year in Washington, DC, there is one gay atheist who is calling himself The Eastergay. Officials in DC think that he is French and has a high affinity for the sport of Parkour, a crazy game where homomen literally spring around from building to building, from tree to tree, using some sort of Satanic-crack enhanced power to do so.
Whatever the case, it's not natural and the man to date has been able to elude police. But it's the tragic story that follows that must serve as a warning to all of us. It is a tough story to report but the greater good is that all parents will be wary of any Easter 'bunny' and forgo the entire pagan ceremonies of collecting eggs or letting some anthropomorphizing exploiter have a reason to get your kids to sit on his lap.
The news we have to report today is shocking and not for the faint of heart. It involves Senator Newt Gingrich in what will ultimately end any campaign for him and make him a spokesman for what happens in an America that is not weary of the homogay agenda.
Friends, Newt Gingrich had his 'holy basket' stuffed full of gay creme filling last night. We do not know how it happened. The gays made Easter recipes of shame for him. We only saw the images of after-effects. According to reports, Newt Gingrich was found strewn about in a run-down alley, a few blocks away from Georgetown.
His body was bared and taped to his forehead was the picture we will share with you below. Responders at the scene confirmed Newt had 'evidence of shameful trauma' on his body. Callista has yet to comment on the horrors. American University School of Medicine officials will naturally not release of information of Gingrich due to strict HIPAA policy.
WARNING: The following image and article media section contains the destruction of the innocent and a true American hero. Shield the weak from seeing our American hero Newt Gingrich in this condition. Immediately demand women and children leave the room and listen to a loudly playing TV so they cannot hear you weep. Pray for yourself, this country's future and Newt Gingrich.
The shame is so sad and strong here. Newt Gingrich's pre Easter cupcakes have been defiled with a sharpie, as if he's but a drunken collegiate idiot who uses alcohol to mask his loud-mouthed insecurity. Surely, the springing Eastergay villain plied Gingrich with Quaaludes or maybe Magic Mint in a DC bar, then when his mind was altered did terrible things to him at a Skittle rainbows house party where whoever picks the same color of skittles has to 'taste the rainbow' of the next person to pick that color from the bowl. Gingrich is so drunk and drugged here he has no idea what happened.
The Eastergay Bunny as he's being called in DC is still on the loose. And beyond what happened to our dear friend Newt Gingrich this weekend, there are millions of these 'secret men' lurking in rabbit costumes. Instead of taking your child out to be a pagan, just go to a nice church or at least a cathedral for a proper mass. The alternative, well, just look at what happened to Newt.

Mifare hacks and risk assessments
Contributed by Joanne C. Kelleher
When news initially hit that the Mifare Classic card was hacked by a University of Virginia graduate student Karsten Nohland and two German partners I wasn't going to blog about it. I've covered several other RFID -related technologies which have been hacked. What usually happens is the community and/or the technology owner ignores the attack or says it doesn't matter. Initially NXP Semiconductors, a Netherlands-based company which owns and licenses the Mifare line, did the same thing.
Article: Hackers claim RFID smart-card hack, but vendor disagrees
SC Magazine, March 05, 2008
But the follow up to this hack has been different. It has received international press from the RFID, computer and security industries and NXP has responded in a variety of way.
The Mifare Classic, an inexpensive access card which uses 48 bit security, is used by public transport systems such as London's "Oyster" card and Boston's "Charlie" card.
Initially, parts of Nohland's findings were published at the Chaos Computer Camp hacker's conference in Berlin last December. As the Mifare Classic is widely used to access buildings and is about to be launched as a common means of payment for all forms of public transport in The Netherlands, there was a lot of publicity and political discussion in that country. A report for the Dutch government was released on February 29th that confirms the hacker's findings, but asserts that systems will likely be secure for another two years since the attack is still costly from an equipment standpoint.
Report: www.translink.nl/media/bijlagen/nieuws/TNO_ICT_-_Security_Analysis_OV-Chipkaart_-_public_report.pdf
The hackers then published a paper demonstrating a way to crack the chip's encryption technology. They present an attack that recovers secret keys within minutes on a typical desktop PC or within seconds on an FPGA.
Paper: http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~kn5f/pdf/Mifare.Cryptanalysis.pdf
Article: U.VA. researchers crack smartcard chips – Mifare Classic security proven weak
Steve Ragan – Security Editor at The Tech Herald held interview with research team.
An information security researcher and team at the Radboud University in Nijmegen built on the work of Karten Nohl and Henryk Plötz to demonstrate and confirm the attack. They notified the Dutch government, NPX (on March 9th – remember that date) and Parliament.
Press release http://www2.ru.nl/media/pressrelease.pdf
Demo (with English subtitles) http://www.ru.nl/veiligheid-toegangspassen/
The Dutch interior affairs minister, Guusje ter Horst wrote in a letter to Parliament that she was preparing supplemental security measures for some government buildings as a result of the attacks.
Article: RFID-Hack Hits 1 Billion Digital Access Cards Worldwide
A warning is issued that some security access cards that use RFID technology are vulnerable to hack attacks.
PC World, March 12
Article: Dutch interior affairs minister says widely used security pass can be hacked
International Herald Tribune, March 12, 2005
On March 10th (hmmm…) NXP announced "MIFARE Plus, a revolutionary contactless smart card IC that offers breakthrough security and performance for the cost-sensitive automated fare collection (AFC) and access control markets. MIFARE Plus is the latest addition to NXP's MIFARE portfolio, features multiple levels of security, including Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption, and an easy migration path from existing MIFARE Classic implementations."
NXP, which obviously did not mention the hacks in their press release, said that the MIFARE Plus will be available for pilots in the fourth quarter of 2008.
NXP Press release – http://www.nxp.com/news/content/file_1418.html
Article: Did NXP finally acknowledge security problems in their MIFARE chip?
Steve Ragan – Security Editor at The Tech Herald
In the week since the NXP MIFARE Plus announcement there has been more press then usual in the RFID community about theses hacks and the lack of security on the Mifare cards.
Article: NXP Announces New, More Secure Chip for Transport, Access Cards –
According to the company, the chip is backward-compatible with the less-secure MIFARE Classic chip, recently hacked by two research groups.
RFID Journal http://www.rfidjournal.com/article/articleview/3973/1/1/
NPX has also issued open letters to end users and to system integrators that discusses the "alleged security issues" and encourages end users to work with their system integrators to do a risk assessment of their system.
Open letter to integrators: http://www.mifare.net/security/integrator_information.asp
Open letter to users: http://www.mifare.net/security/enduser_information.asp
I'm curious as to how many end users completed a risk assessment before their system was implemented and if this series of events will encourage more firms to do so in the future.
Update – This March 2008 post is still generating lots of traffic from search engines from those people interested in Mifare hacks. You can find more recent posts about Mifare and other RFID related hacks in this blog under the Hacks category: http://www.securerf.com/RFID-Security-blog/?cat=28.

red pills behind the sofa cushions, analepsis 16
In a retro-Buddhist show of opposition to "the social cons' criminal War on Drugs," the Sea Monkey king—already high on homemade Sangria, two Percocet tablets, and the handful of roaches he was able to sift out of a patio ashtray recently unearthed by a much-needed Colorado thaw—doused himself with lighter fluid and threatened self-immolation if I didn't order him a large bucket of hot wings (extra spicy) and some beer-battered onion rings.
I called his bluff, citing tough love and the need to teach the presumptuous creature self reliance—but the truth is, I was two peyote buttons into a "My Three Sons" marathon on TV Land and didn't much feel like having to track down the cordless phone, which I hadn't seen since a couple of strung-out sugar beets decided to sweep the house for stealthy electronic surveillance devices. Besides, my legs were kinda tingly.
The saddest part to all this (well, aside from the second degree burns his majesty suffered to the trunk and thighs before he was able to hop screaming back into his tank) is that I really could have gone for some hot wings—and I probably would have, too, if instead of turning the whole production into some ersatz bit of southeast asian political theater, the self-absorbed salt-water elitist had simply looked up the number to the Wing Stop and fetched me my BlackBerry from the pocket of my sweats.
Because as it stands, it looks like I'm going to have to make do with Cajun spice-dusted trail mix, a half box of sesame garlic Crispini crackers, and a whining brine shrimp coated in anti-bacterial unguent. Which under ordinary circumstances is well and good, I suppose— but not once you've started craving kickass hotwings and delicious golden-brown beer-battered onion rings…
Comments (20)
You could always eat the BlackBerry…..
Sir, thy mind is the ultimate divinity in the heavens of the mad lib.
You kids clean up this place up!!!
Friggin' sea monkey crap everywhere…
And who the hell took my unguent???
Ernie, you little twerp!
You may not be the strangest person ever to inhabit this planet, but I doubt it.
Have I mentioned how much my cichlids like sea monkeys as treats?
Well, first of all, the beets might be loons, but, at the very least, they're good tubers to have in your quarter (pending what they've been drinking).
The Sea Monkey King, however, is one of the most mercenary SOBs to arise out of a children's Brine Shrimp exercise in preemptive deity.
If it was not already abundantly clear, it is now.
Jeff is FULLY back on form, at the height of his surreal powers, and everything is right in my world.
Apart from being an unemployed, homeless macrocephalic lagomorph using the last of the battery charge on the pocket PC I lifted off that unconscious sarariman to post this message from under a bridge on this balmy California night.
Oh, wait, that's not me, that's someone else. It's all good. Carry on.
Sounds like the most acid story since Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Good.
Have I mentioned how much my cichlids like sea monkeys as treats?
They're like little potato chips for fish—crispy and salty.
Mine only went really berserk for grindal worms, though.
I put my stethoscope up to the side of my tank when I feed my cichlids sea monkeys, just to hear them scream.
That anti-bacterial unguent tastes like ass and leaves a film on the roof of your mouth. The shrimp aren't bad fried though.
That anti-bacterial unguent tastes like ass and leaves a film on the roof of your mouth.
That's the Preparation H.
Speaking of which, I'm on my second week of trying to get some software set up for my development team. Thirteen freaking years ago I set up the same software for a team at another company, and it took an hour. That was doing it "guerilla", with no approval, and no root access.
This time, the software's supposedly our "standard". It took a week to find out who I needed to ask to get it set up. Two days to find out who to ask to get access once it was set up. Two days for that group to get back to us saying we made the request the wrong way. Now, two days later, we're still waiting on their response to the "right way" to make the request.
Anyone else remember the computer game "Bureaucracy"?
(Bonus points for the geeks out there: the software? CVS.)
Mmmm…Buffalo Wild Wings, extra hot, for breakfast. Nummy, num.
We had hot wings last night. Deep fried, then coated with a mix of butter, Frank's Red Hot, and a package of Good Season's dried Italian Dressing Mix. Spicy, and several times the daily allowance of sodium.
I guess I should have checked PW last night instead of going to the gym. I would have invited you over for some Jeff, honest.
Funny how nobody wants to come to Syracuse in March…
You must take us for fools with your "tale". Everyone knows you can't get good hot wings outside of the Buffalo area, let alone kickass ones.
Same thing where I work. The FDA shut us down because of some problems with the medical equipment we make, and they did an audit to find out if we were following correct "processes." Answer: no. So now they're not shipping product and everyone is freaking out about following the correct processes, but I swear to you there is not one person alive who knows what those processes are. No one will sit down and decide what they're supposed to be; no one will write up the document.
Just tried to get a document approved last month, and every single freaking step of the way a different person screamed "NO! That's NOT how you do it." So we had to re-do things and back-track and a month later we released the document. It should have taken just a few days in non-bureaucratic time.
So now they're not shipping product and everyone is freaking out about following the correct processes, but I swear to you there is not one person alive who knows what those processes are.
It gets better.
Reason for latest two-day delay? Admin assistant didn't send the request. Apparently "ASAP" means "two working days later".
In response to the request? "I don't know what you're talking about".
Apparently the group we need to be added to was created, but not entered into this other system that's needed to grant us access.
In two hours, everyone at corporate HQ will be at a meeting announcing the size of our bonuses. If I'm lucky, I can get hold of the helpful person who can do this, rather than the "less than helpful" one.
It's not like I have better things to do.
"That anti-bacterial unguent tastes like ass and leaves a film on the roof of your mouth"
Never had the pleasure of tasting ass, not that there is anything wrong with that……
Now fried Brine shrimp, that's a different story
Robert , dicentra ,
All paper work goes to the dolphin in the navy blue pea coat ……
Debt is the biggest issue facing us all.
I found this video on YouTube which really opened my eyes to the importance of getting out of debt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50bWUrKAbwU
I am sure you will be as amazed as I was.

Oops, something didn't work.
Controlling students is hard. It is easier, or at least appears easier, to cover things up. Parents do the same thing in a way when they don't teach their children what "no" means. It seems easier to just give in and let kids do what they want than to be consistent and discipline them. Of course in the long run we know that this results in uncontrollable children who get in to more and more trouble. But unlike parents who are parents for life school administrators have kids for a limited time. Perhaps the administrators think that it is easier to cover things up long enough for the students to graduate and become someone else's problem than to actually educate about proper behavior?
Real photography and documenting of what goes on in the education system, particularly among young people should be encouraged! It seems to me that attempting to cover up the problem is becoming more and more the norm amidst business and government. It doesn't make any ****ing sence! Hiding the problem will only enable similar problems to arise with greater frequency and worse consequences. More effort should be put into correcting the problem and not hiding them.

I'm working with America's leading digital cable providers and cable networks to celebrate Black History Month through Diversity On Demand on cable!
They are giving digital cable customers the opportunity to catch up with some of the history, struggles and beauty that are an integral part of the African-American experience as part of cable's Diversity On Demand on cable initiative. Viewers can learn more about African-American history at their convenience during Black History Month. With the push of a button, they can instantly watch their favorites from the comfort of their own home with just a "click away".
Multiethnic shows and movies available On Demand in February and beyond include:
Milestones In Black History
There are several offerings that examine the history of the struggles and strife, the tragedies and the triumphs of African Americans in the U.S., from the time of Lincoln to the Civil Rights era, including "Lincoln: American Mastermind." For children and adults alike, there's "The Tuskegee Airmen," (we just watched this last night ourselves!) recounts the true story of how a group of African-
American WWII pilots overcame racist opposition to become one of the finest U.S. fighter groups in history, and "First to Fight: The Black Tankers of WWII."
Profiles In Courage
The biographies of influential African Americans come to life in dramatic profiles and stories of individuals who may be less known but perhaps should be more so, such as legendary baseball great Curt Flood in the documentary "The Curious Case of Curt Flood" and the five wrongly imprisoned teens in "The Central Park Five." Drama movies like "Flight" starring Denzel Washington and "The Help" starring Viola Davis, and TV programs such as "House of Lies" starring Don Cheadle, showcase award-worthy performances from notable African-American A-list actors. Viewers can also get a close look at what it's like living in the cross fire of America's drug war in the Emmy Award–winning miniseries "The Corner."
Pride, Passion and Pain
For sports buffs, there are important shows that exemplify the contributions and struggles of athletes, such as "Joe Louis: America's Hero…Betrayed," and "Breaking the Huddle: The Integration of College Football."
That's Entertainment
Music aficionados can celebratethe true artistry of entertainer and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte in "Sing Your Song," then laugh along with "Why We Laugh: Black Comedians on Black Comedy."

HD Widgets$1.99
Power TogglesFREE
HD Widgets$1.99
Buzz LauncherFREE
I wanted something simple but with a live wallpaper. I like to make my own custom wallpapers using Gimp or Photoshop but also be able to use Live Wallpapers on the same screen. Buzz Launcher helps me do that very easily.
Icons you see are modified using Gimp, I've linked the zip for the icons but they have a frame which I erased. You can use Gimp or Photoshop to remove them or just use the icons as is or whatever other icons you prefer.
The icons and letters are part of the wallpaper, words were typed up on Gimp using Sans font.
I made the wallpaper according to the 12×12 grid size. For the home screen (with the time & date) I moved the app icons into place, re sized the icon to cover 6 grids across, chose the "stretch" option then made the icon transparent so you only see the wallpaper.
Power toggles widget comes in at 4×1, stretch it across the bottom of the screen and it fits perfectly as you can see. You can adjust the way the widget looks in its settings.
HD widgets for the time & date. Works great when you tap the time it goes directly to your clock app, touching the date takes you to your calendar app.
Circle Battery Widget, size it any way you'd like. I was happy with my current location and size. You chose what looks best to you. Maybe you rather not even use the widget.
Second screen. Weather widget is from HD Widgets but I have BeWeather & Widgets Pro open when you tough the weather widget. You can set whatever weather app you'd like to open when you touch HD Weather widgets.
Power Toggles same as with the home screen.
I chose six app folders for the second screen. These are six app folders I use often. As with the home sceen apps, I moved each app folder into place then made transparent.
My app drawer in Buzz Launcher is already organized into folders so it's as easy as just holding and dragging each folder onto the home screen.
As for the Earth HD Deluxe live wallpaper, adjust its settings to your liking. I have a quick rotating Earth with realistic Earth position.
I think that's about it. Any question feel free to post and I'll help you out.
I've included both wallpapers used on this setup and one blank version so you can add whatever apps you want on it.

Entenmann's Bakery Cutting Staff and Closing Long Island Factory
The company says 178 people will lose their jobs.
In a move reminiscent of the great Hostess Shutdown of 2012, Entenmann's Bakery announced today it will shut down its 53-year-old Bay Shore plant, leaving 178 of its 265 on-site workers out of a job. The company, which has roots in Brooklyn and eastern Long Island, is known for packaging its products in distinctive white boxes with a see-through "window," a packaging design it invented in 1959. Entenmann's products include — but are by no means limited to — brownies, cherry cheese danishes, doughnut-hole-like Pop 'Ems, iced chocolate cakes, coffee cakes, lemon loaf, and pound cake.
For decades, Entenmann's baked goods have an unwavering presence in grocery and convenience stores, and for a long time were a basic fact of thousands of kids' brown-bagged lunches throughout the city and the surrounding areas. Entenmann's cookies, cakes, and various glazed things were fixtures of office break rooms, birthday parties, AA meetings, auto repair waiting rooms, post-funeral gatherings, treehouse tribunals, and pretty much any other kind of gathering imaginable. The brand's various "outlet stores" that once dotted the highways of Long Island in greater numbers were packed with so much bakery overstock that it was dangerous to go to early in the morning, for fear that someone's granny might elbow you in the eye socket while the two of you fought over the last box of Apple Danish Twist.
The company has been owned by Bimbo Bakeries USA, a division of the Mexican Grupo Bimbo. An executive making the announcement today said the company's immense, 53-year-old Bay Shore facility "cannot operate efficiently on a cost competitive basis with the other bakeries in our system." Production is now expected to shift elsewhere: "We are committed to ensuring that there will be no change in the quality, freshness or availability in the Entenmann's products consumers have come to know and love," the executive said. After restructuring, the Bay Shore bakery will become a distribution center, and remaining workers will also focus on research and marketing.

HS secondary to MRSA
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
I was recently diagnosed with HS seconday to MRSA. I am a Radiation Therapist and deal with cancer patients daily so my ID doc decided to attempt decolonization protocol(Muciprocim ointment 2 times a day and Hibiclens baths for 10 days) for me( I am colonized and infected) and my family. I was given a nasal swab to start and received the news the next day from my hemotogist/oncologist and was in to see the ID doc in 2 days(I'm very lucky). I was referred for possible hidradenitis suppurativa but that was secondary to my MRSA infection. We were on the protocol for 10 days with Zyvox(after failure on Keflex and Augmentun) for myself for 10 days to coincided with it. I had 7 boils under my left armpit and 2 on my right and an stye in my right eye. 5 days after stopping the meds and nasal ointment, I had a new boil emerging under my left armpit. We are still doing the hibiclens showers. I have leukocytosis and thrombocytosis of unknown origin for about 7 years and low immunoglobulin G so I am considered immunocompromised. I went back to the ID doc and started Bactrim DS. 4 days into Bactrim DS treament I got a new boil that is now as big as a golf ball and a pea sized one that is just waiting to pounce. Now I will be starting another round of Zyvox for 14 days in a couple of days-the pharmacy has to order it because of the cost they don't keep it on hand. My ID doc told me that the hope was to reduce the MRSA levels but I would probably always battle this disease. One option is IV immunoglobulin but that only boosts the immune system for a few weeks. Plus there are considerable side effects. I am blessed that this is not in my bloodstream or lungs and I hope that never happens...but only time will tell. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to my new HS family. If anybody needs to talk or vent just let me know. Oh...the ID doc gave me a card for Zyvox and I paid $35 for my prescription with insurance and it is worth up to $300 to someone that is not insured...so maybe the drug reps can get others some of these cards? It's worth asking about. I've been on Kelfex, Augmentum, Bactrim DS and Zyvox for the sores. Zyvox seems to be the best...any other ideas to try? So thanks to everyone for your responses...even if it is only to introduce yourselves.

Welcome! Sounds like you are having a tough go of it but it also sounds like your doc is on top of it as well. My daughter has had MRSA and it ended up being a 3 week hospital stay coming home with a pic line and doing IV's at home.

I don't Have MRSA but my doc did put me on a MRSA med.
Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg twice day
I also learned from the group that Turmeric 500 mg twice a day
its over the counter I get the spring valley kind. it can work fast or it might take awhile. all so make sure it wont inter fear with what your taking.
With the Hibiclens I bath in it.
hope this helps

So sorry you are having so much trouble..MRSA is ALMOST impossible to get rid ...Once you are colonized you are stuck with it. as antibiotics go I am surprised they did not give you vancomycin....Have you tried alternative approaches to this problem like garlic baths? garlic will not become resistant to staph......antibiotics eventually quit working..... With antibiotics and HS they really dont work...you keep breaking out regardless. I take care o my daughter who has HS ....... Staph is a problem with her so I give her garlic baths and do not bathe her in bleach as I have done a long time as it did NOTHING TO stop the mean little bacteria.....kids with Down Syndrome are also prone to boils....so she gets a 2 edged sword with genetics......I bathe her with hibiclens in the groin area...... other than that I use dial soap ( gold bar).......I dont think she has mrsa because she started breaking out with boils at 7 years old and I never wear gloves and have had some horrendous lesions on her skin and I never get as much as a pimple so I dont think she has MRSA...... I am so sorry you are battling HS and MRSA....that is a bear to have to deal with that.... I would stay not eat sugar in any way as bacteria grows with sugar....would also boost the immune system with whatever you can do....like very healthy veggies..... and do not eat junk...good luck to you....Tangerinebear xo I gave up on the medical community years ago to help my daughter~

WASHINGTON: Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages is linked to 180,000 deaths in the world each year, scientists, including one of Indian-origin, have claimed.
According to the study presented at the American Heart Association's meeting in New Orleans, researchers found that sugar-sweetened sodas, sports drinks and fruit drinks may be associated with about 180,000 deaths around the world each year. Sugar-sweetened beverages contribute to excess body weight, which increases the risk of developing diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and some cancers.

Average Customer Review: based on 1 reviews.Rating: 006843 Mares Hybrid Pro Tec BC
Why are you not carrying the Mare Hybrid Pro TEC bc in you line anymore only on discount? I am using a 8 year old Zeagle Ranger how does this BC compare vs. a Aeris Jetpack Travel BC / Backpack, or Mares Hybrid AT with MRS Plus Weight System. i would stay with Zeagle but i want the intergrated weight systems of the new era designs? thank you, Gary
Mares discontinued that bc so we discounted the one we have left in stock. I personally also dive the ranger and love it. The Aeris jetback is kind of a gimmicky travel bc and wouldn't be similar to the ranger at all. The mares is a good alternative. The only problem would be getting use to the inflation/deflation system.
Hi, I would like to have some advice regarding BCDs. the models i have in mind are the Mares hybid pro tec, aqualung axiom i3, seac pro 2000 hd and seac3d bc. Which one is better on the other? do not like much corrugate but i wanna use also hybrid or back inflate bcd. Do you have an alternative to suggest? Thanks
Hello Danilo, if you are looking for a back infalte BCD and one that does not have a corrugated hose then I would suggest to you this BCD: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-3/006877/Aqua-Lung-SeaQuest-Dimension-i3-BC.html.
Does it Come with the octopus on the BC inflator hose . Thank you
Hello Nicolas, the built-in octo would be an add-on cost does not come with the BCD. If you are looking for that item here is the link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-33/035071/Mares-Alt-Air-Control-Integrated-Octo.html.
Hi, Is Medium/Large size of this in stock? If not, when are you going to get it in your stock? Thank you.

Need help choosing between pro tec and Tusa 7000. whats your suggestion
Hello Adam, Thank you for your inquiry! I'm recommending the Mares Hybrid Pro Tec Scuba BC over the TUSA Conquest ScubaBC BCJ-7000. The BCD's are very similar to each other in Form, Function and fit. But what makes the Mares BCD superior to the TUSA is the integrated weight pocket locking system. I owned a similar TUSA BCD with their locking weight system. Sliding the weight pockets into the slots was easy... It was the weight pocket locking mechanism that was difficult to manipulate. The Mares Locking system was simple. All you do is slide the male portion of the pocket into the receiving slot and listen for the "click"! When you hear the click, you know the weight pocket is securely fastened into the BCD. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-2/006842/Mares-Hybrid-Pro-Tec-Scuba-BC.html If you would like to place an order or have questions about our products, please contact one of our certified Dive Instructors at SCUBA.com by calling 800-247-2822 <> 949-221-9300 or e-mail us at: firstname.lastname@example.com

Should i get the small size or the medium size? from the size chart it seems that my fits is at the border between small and medium size. Please advise. Thank you. Cheers.
Hi! My name is Eirik and I live in Norway. Just starting my "divingcareer", therefore I am looking for a BCD. What size do You recomend? I am tall, 6 3", aprox 40" round my waist and aprox 17" across my chest. Will size XL fit me? Do You ship to Norway? Any idea on the shipping cost? Thanks, Regards Eirik :-)

I am 55" tall, 134Ibs in weight, and have 30 inches waistline. If you suggest small size will surely fits, do you have any idea when it will be available? because it shown here out of stock for small size. Thanks a lot.

Hi there, Ive used a Mares Vector 1000MRS for the last few years and have been happy with it, however on a recent trip the rear section of the inflator horse completely ripped off so Im looking for a replacement. Whats the main difference between the Hybrid Pro Tech and normal Hybrid. Any pro / con for the two ?. In terms of size, there are just 3 std. sizes correct ?.
#1 Are these presently in stock?? #2 This will be my first BCD purchase is this one of the better values in a BCD?? #3 is this a very good quality ??? thanks Keith
A reviewer stated that they could not use their existing alternate inflator and had to buy a Mares version. Will my Oceanic Air XS2 Alternate Inflator work with this BCD?
i decided on the mares dragon but like the traveling options on the Hybrid Pro Tec BC now i dont know please help
Hello Eil, I would suggest going with the travel version. The travel version will work both in local and travel diving and you would reduce the weight you are carrying both above and below the water. Plus the travel BCD will also take up less space in your luggage for travel.
Hi, I just ordered the Mares Hybrid Pro Tec BC from you chaps. Understand that this model does not have in build rear trim weights. The Mares web site shows an add on "cruise ad on" , however I do not see this item available on your site ?. Please advise.
Hello Shivantha, the trim pockets you are looking for are the: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-225/044049/XS-Scuba-Trim-Diving-Weight-Tank-Pouch.html. Those will attach to the tank band.
Hi, I need a titanium knife to fit on to my Mares Pro Tech BC , please advise if there are any.
Hello Shivantha, here is the web link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-30/024207/Mares-Force-Nano-BC-Knife.html that is designed to fit with your BCD.
Hi, any advise on where to get the pins that holds the harness to the backplate? Its a black "I-shaped" cylindrical pin. Need some spares for replacement.
how much it will coste to send this item to cairo, egypt and what is the price for it include tax?

Can you compare the Mares hybrid pro tec and the mares hybrid. Other than the number of D rings what is the difference? I am looking for a good quality travel BCs for me and for my wife.
I have a question relating to sizing. Mares shows an XL for people 170 lbs and above. Thats a pretty big window. I am 58" tall, 245 lbs with a stocky build 50 inch chest and 40 inch waist. Will the XL fit a person of my size ? Thanks for your help.
Hello Mike, when you are sizing a BC. The two most important measurements are going to be your waist and height. Going by your measurements you would be a size Medium/Large.
Hybrid Pro Tec
A giant step in the evolution of back mounted BCDs
• Made with alutex, sturdy and durable
• Modular integrated weight system
• 10 metal D-rings, 3 of which customizable
The first thing you will notice when donning Hybrid Pro Tec is the perfect fit. This new level of comfort is achieved via special shoulder pads which are longer, pre-shaped and reinforced, and work in perfect unison with the lumbar suspension system. Hybrid Pro Tec feature 10 metal D-rings, 3 of which can be slid up and down along the shoulder pads, to accommodate any configuration needs. Made of very tough Alutex material, it will endure any exposure you submit it to and hold up to the test of time.
Furthermore, Hybrid Pro Tec is a modular BCD: the detacheable vest comprising the MRS plus system is removable, leaving a lean-and-mean travel BCD. This configuration can be expanded by adding the optional lumbar trim weight system and/or the Cruise Add-on pocket.
All current in line Mares B.C.D.s are compatible up to 40% Oxygen (EAN 40) right out of the box.

Garrett Moon of Todaymade is one of my favorite bloggers. I loved the tips he offered in this post and he agreed to let me republish it here.
Ahh.. the life of a small business owner. So peaceful, so serene, and so little stress. Am I right?
Of course not–your life is crazy! But you wouldn't have it any other way, would you?
Being a small business owner has many benefits and many job titles. In the course of a single hour, you can easily jump from Chief Executive Officer to Chief Financial Officer, from Chief Operations Officer to Chief Marketing Officer. In small business, you are in control of your own destiny. You are also in control of your own content marketing.
Every day, I hear from small business owners like you asking about how they can get the most out of their content marketing. They simply want to promote their business to best of their ability, and who can blame them? For that reason, I decided to compile a list of my top twelve tips for content marketing for small businesses.
1) Listen To What Your Customers Ask You
Small business content marketers struggle with what they should be talking about online.
It is easy to get into sales pitch mode and push our products and service on our customers, but that isn't what they want from us. They want the same thing that they want in the store – advice. One of the simplest tips for small businesses that are using content marketing is to simply answer the questions that your customers are asking.
Take a poll in your business and figure out the top ten questions that your customers ask most frequently. What do they want to know about? Make a plan to write a blog post (or several) answering each question one by one. Do this regularly, and you will soon build a library of practical content for your future customers.

For a lot of parents, keeping track of their children's immunizations can be a challenge. Today, the mandatory vaccines cover ten diseases with multiple shots, and that number may double in the next decade.
Because pediatricians are tired of making their patients human pincushions, researchers are now working on a number of supervaccines, that would combine existing inoculations into one shot.
The most recent supervaccine takes the MMR vaccine, which combines Mumps, Measles, and Rubella, and combines it with Chickenpox, Polio, Whooping Cough, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Hepatitis B, and Meningitis. Doctors say that still doesn't target illnesses like Pneumonia, Typhoid, Encephalitis, Diarrhea, Strep, or Flu, all of which are major threats to our children. So scientists are hoping to develop even more supervaccines to fight those diseases.
Some pediatricians are already offering some of these supervaccines, successfully. But they're expensive, hundreds of dollars in some cases.

Hello, this is the week at the end of the year that is effected by the DST change. Along with the 3 weeks that happened in March, we are now setting our cocks back one our a week later (Nov 4th). We noticed today, that there are some (not all) events on our calendars that are an hour off. For example, I have a repeating appointment every Monday at 2:15 - 2:45. It shows up correct today, but shows as 1:15 - 1:45 starting on 11/5.
Perhaps these will display correctly after the DST time change on 11/4. It's hard to say and test, but this is really bad. Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions on fixing this? We are currently at 4.5.7.

Areas of Practice: Dentists, Dentists – Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons
One of the more uncomfortable things is having to choose a dentist. Even though dental work is no fun, choosing the best dentist can make it better. There are lots of options with regards to choosing a dentist, and choosing the right one may have a major impact on your experience. Within the following sentences we will check out selecting the best dentist.
Knowledge is the first thing you need to look for in a dentist. There are a lot of inexperienced dentists and low quality dental offices. While you can find some good young dentists, it is a lot better to find a dental professional that has at least five years of specialist experience. If you are getting major dental work done like a crown, you definitely would like someone with working experience.
Ask your family and friends for any tips they might have. Just like most other services, people have a tendency to visit the same experts when they find a good one. You can also research possible dentists to get a good idea of their practice. This is helpful specifically if you cannot get any referrals. It is worth looking into if you find one that provides extensive good reviews.
Some things to look out for are dentists in Mountain-Home who publicize very affordable prices. Most of that time period these dentists are interested more in quantity versus level of quality. The chances are you most likely won't obtain the customized attention you need at places such as this. Should they use routine sedation, you'll want to stay away from them. Most adults do not need this and there's no need to subject yourself to this treatment when it's not needed.
Make sure you either visit or call the specific office for more information on their services. If you ask a lot of questions and stick to the tips above, you ought to have few problems when it comes time to choose a dentist in zip code 72653.
