A Universal Spill Kit in a Water Proof, Highly Visible Red Bucket
Do you need to clean up various spills on a regular basis?
f you do, you'll find our Universal Spill Kit in the Red Bucket the perfect solution! Each kit can handle up to 6 gallons of liquid, and that's a lot. But only you know just how big of a spill you typically need to deal with. You also know that it's always a good idea to have extra absorbents on hand so you'll be sure to have plenty of them no matter what size the spill.
Let's take a look at what our Cleanup Stuff Universal Spill Response Kit in a 5 gallon bucket can do for you, and why it outperforms most of our competitors hands-down!
Here's what's part of the Universal Spill Kit
• A 5 gallon red bucket, weatherproof and re-sealable, plus its bright red color makes it easy to find when you need it
• Comes with an easy-open tool for opening the lid so you won't lose precious time
• Includes 5 super sookers for quick clean-up and containment, plus 15 perforated absorbent pads
• Contains safety goggles and gloves for protection, plus brightly colored disposal bags
• Re-sealable for easy re-use of unused absorbents, with extra gloves and disposal bags so you can turn the "leftovers" into another complete kit and save money
• Complies with safety regulations, including 29 CFR, 40 CFR, and 49 CFE.
• All included materials are non-toxic and some of them are recycled
Our Kits Save You Money (and Space!)
Spill response kits can take up precious space, especially if you need to keep several on hand. That's why we think you'll appreciate our kits' compact shape and the fact that they soak up significantly more liquid than the "other" kits, so you won't need quite as many! Even better, when it comes to gallon-by-gallon capacity, our kits will save you money, because they do NOT cost as much as our competitors' spill response kits with a comparable capacity.
They're Universal Spill Response Kits
Another handy feature is that these kits are universal spill response kits, which means that they will absorb a range of liquids, from plain water to miscellaneous water-based liquids to oils and even chemicals. This means your supply of spill response kits will work no matter what has been spilled, and you won't have to keep an entire array of different types of spill kits handy - unless you choose to.
Clean Your Spills Up Faster!
But here's the best part. Our spill kits work FAST! They outperform most of the competing brands by working much more quickly and effectively than most regular kits! And that's not by accident... but by design! We have spent plenty of time and effort on making it happen.
Here's why our spill kits work so well...
First, they contain 5 sookers instead of the more traditional absorbent socks. So what are sookers and why are they more effective than socks? They're large, 8 by 18 inches, and they're super absorbent because their surface area is much larger than that of socks. So when you apply them to a spill, they soak up the liquid in record time.
This also means that you have two options to use them. You can soak up the spill immediately by placing them on the spill directly, or you can arrange them around a spill to contain it, much like you would do with socks. And since sookers are malleable like pillows, they can be squished into tight spaces where they can prevent liquids from seeping out.
Of course, that's not all! Our kits also contain 15 large, highly absorbent propylene pads of 15 by 18 inches each. These pads are dimpled, which gives them an enhanced surface area, which also lets them absorb liquids very quickly. In addition, they're perforated, so you can tear them into sections and use only as much as you need, right then and there, which also saves you money.
How To Use Your Universal Spill Kits
While our spill response kits are easy enough to use, we have added detailed instructions just in case. But first things first:
You need to have a sufficient number of Universal spill kits available to handle even the largest spills you typically get in your work areas. So take some time to think through where you might need a kit or five. Then order your kits and store them near the most likely places where spills might occur.
Also remember to provide your staff members with training on how to use them, and where they can get extra kits if needed. If you have 5 potential spill areas, you can keep a few buckets in each of those areas. Then instruct your crew to get extra buckets from other nearby areas if needed, while always leaving at least one in place, to ensure a quick response.
Then make sure they know how to use the easy-open tool as well as the sookers and pads inside. And for their protection, they need to use the included safety goggles and gloves, and finally place any used absorbents into the disposal bags.
If not all included absorbents are used, they can be placed back into the bucket, along with an extra set of gloves and a disposal bag. Then reseal the red bucket and place it where it will be handy if and when another spill occurs.
Follow Safety Regulations
Our Universal spill kits comply with general safety regulations, including 49 CFE, 40 CFR and 29 CFR. There are also additional regulations, including at the local level, the state level, and the federal level when it comes to disposal of used absorbents that you need to be sure to comply with as well. So be sure to familiarize yourself with any and all of those additional rules and regulations and include them in your staff training too.
Environmentally Friendly
Quick cleanup of any spills is essential when it comes to protecting the environment, and we'll give you the tools to do just that. In addition, the absorbents in the sookers are made out of recycled filler, and all of our absorbents are non-toxic while unused. Only when used to absorb toxic chemicals do they become an environmental hazard, and at that point they will need to be secured in the included disposal bag, and be disposed of in accordance with any applicable regulations.

15-Universal Absorbent Pads (15 inches x 18 inches), 5-Sookers (8 inches x 18 inches), 1-pair Safety Goggles, 2-pair Nitrile Gloves, 2- YellowDisposal Bags with Ties, 1-Instruction Sheet on using the kit, 1-5 gallon Bucket, 1-Sealed Lid, 1-Lid Opener Tool, 1-Spill Kit Sticker, 1-Type of Spill Kit Sticker on lid.

We all have heard the concept that honesty is a sign of integrity. I believe that, but they are not as closely linked as all you may believe. Honesty is not the same thing as integrity. For one thing, we have all displayed honesty without integrity or at least seen it displayed without integrity.
All honesty is just a symptom of integrity; it is not the core of it. Look at the definition of integrity from your favorite source. You could define "integrity" by not even using the word "honesty" at all. Without "honesty", "integrity" still has meaning. While you may see the word "honesty" somewhere in there, the definition is rooted in words like "sound" or "whole".
Integrity is not easy to maintain in our noisy culture. Make sure you are not lying to yourself the next time you are all displaying honesty. Someone who has all integrity is so much more that someone who speaks the truth.

text: It finally began to feel like spring this month! When I first began shooting photos for this post there was still thin ice on the ponds, which you will notice in these pics. But as the month progressed and the weather warmed, the ice melted, migratory birds returned, and spirits soared. My biggest excitement thus far was the return of the Great Blue Heron! There were also flowers that bloomed and buds on trees. Spring is finally HERE!

As we all know that Astronomy is said to be the mother of modern science and has been fascinating us for a long time from ancient era to modern day. As a young boy..I was inspired by my principal who gave some lectures explaining us some basic terms and then it was me and my laptop searching about things Day and Night..trying just to understand it's complex branches. Quantum Mechanics, The General theory of relativity and further more. One Day suddenly I visited one blog giving brief information about Astronomy and then I decided to make one and I did. After all this things, I started to get information about technology required for better collection of information in sufficient way and realised the main importance of technology in the field of astronomy. You all can visit my blog which will definitely encourage you to visit it frequently and get to know more about the terms.

Over time, patients' charts can become bogged down with paper. It is not uncommon to find that some of the paper found in these charts is irrelevant to the patients' ongoing care. One of the most important decisions when transitioning to an EMR system is deciding how much of each patient's chart to scan. Initial EMR system implementation provides a perfect opportunity to digitize and simplify these charts. Digital record management companies, such as OptiScan ®, can use their years of experience and highly trained professionals to help you determine the best approach for your company.
Some practices elect to scan the entire patient's chart. This is the easiest and fastest approach, but it can also be the most expensive as most jobs are priced based on the overall page count of the practice. However it is the most efficient, as it allows for charts to be prepped in a standard manner (e.g. insertion of barcode sheets, removal of staples and paper clips, taping down of smaller sheets which can jam the scanner).
Other practices will elect to scan designated sections and data from each chart. This approach requires more time, as the preparation process is more time intensive. Preparation of the chart requires a more detailed review of the chart to ensure that the correct data gets scanned. This will increase preparation time of each chart and increase the overall timeline of the project.
There are both advantages and disadvantages to scanning designated portions of patients' charts. One of the advantages is that with the elimination of useless pages, the charts become smaller and easier to manage. The relevant data is easier to locate in the chart, requiring less time from the office staff and physicians to find the desired information. Smaller charts also take up less computer storage, allowing more charts to be stored in smaller servers. However, there are also several disadvantages to this approach. The first is the accuracy of the sorting. While scanning companies employ trained professionals to complete the assigned tasks, they are not medical professionals and mistakes can be made when prepping the charts. Another disadvantage is the increased preparation time which can extend your project scanning timeline.
The decision to scan an entire chart versus a partial chart should be carefully considered. While it may appear that eliminating the useless pages would lead to less overall pages being scanned, thus lowering your cost, this if often not the case. In most cases the cost is simply shifted from the scanning to preparation portion of the job. On the other hand, eliminating the useless pages during the scanning process will ultimately lead to smaller, more concise charts. The pros and cons should be carefully considered when deciding what to scan.

MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1.33 is a new release of MySQL Cluster,
incorporating new features in the
NDB storage engine and fixing
recently discovered bugs in previous MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1
Obtaining MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1. The latest MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1 binaries for supported platforms can be obtained from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/. Source code for the latest MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1 release can be obtained from the same location. You can also access the MySQL Cluster NDB 7.1 development source tree at https://code.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-cluster-7.1.
This release also incorporates all bugfixes and changes made in previous MySQL Cluster releases, as well as all bugfixes and feature changes which were added in mainline MySQL 5.1 through MySQL 5.1.73 (see Changes in MySQL 5.1.73 (2013-12-03)).
Functionality Added or Changed
Added the
option for ndb_restore. When enabled, the
option causes tables present in the backup but not in the target
database to be ignored.
(Bug #57566, Bug #11764704)
When assembling error messages of the form Incorrect
state for node
n state:
node_state, written when
the transporter failed to connect, the node state was used in
place of the node ID in a number of instances, which resulted in
errors of this type for which the node state was reported
(Bug #19559313, Bug #73801)
In some cases, transporter receive buffers were reset by one thread while being read by another. This happened when a race condition occurred between a thread receiving data and another thread initiating disconnect of the transporter (disconnection clears this buffer). Concurrency logic has now been implemented to keep this race from taking place. (Bug #19552283, Bug #73790)
A more detailed error report is printed in the event of a
critical failure in one of the
NDB internal
sendSignal*() methods, prior to crashing the
process, as was already implemented for
sendSignal(), but was missing from the more
sendSignalNoRelease() method.
Having a crash of this type correctly reported can help with
identifying configuration hardware issues in some cases.
(Bug #19414511)
References: See also: Bug #19390895.
ndb_restore failed to restore the cluster's metadata when there were more than approximately 17 K data objects. (Bug #19202654)
Parallel transactions performing reads immediately preceding a
delete on the same tuple could cause the
kernel to crash. This was more likely to occur when separate TC
threads were specified using the
configuration parameter.
(Bug #19031389)
Incorrect calculation of the next autoincrement value following
a manual insertion towards the end of a cached range could
result in duplicate values sometimes being used. This issue
could manifest itself when using certain combinations of values
auto_increment_offset, and
This issue has been fixed by modifying the calculation to make
sure that the next value from the cache as computed by
NDB is of the form
auto_increment_offset + (. This avoids any rounding up
by the MySQL Server of the returned value, which could result in
duplicate entries when the rounded-up value fell outside the
range of values cached by
(Bug #17893872)
--help output contained
misleading information about the
-d) option. In addition, the long form of the
option (
--database) did not work properly.
(Bug #17703874)
Using the
--help option with
ndb_print_file caused the program to
(Bug #17069285)
For multithreaded data nodes, some threads do communicate often, with the result that very old signals can remain at the top of the signal buffers. When performing a thread trace, the signal dumper calculated the latest signal ID from what it found in the signal buffers, which meant that these old signals could be erroneously counted as the newest ones. Now the signal ID counter is kept as part of the thread state, and it is this value that is used when dumping signals for trace files. (Bug #73842, Bug #19582807)
Cluster API:
The fix for Bug #16723708 stopped the
function from casting a log event's
ndb_mgm_event_category to an
enum type, but this change interfered with
existing applications, and so the function's original
behavior is now reinstated. A new MGM API function exhibiting
the corrected behavior
ndb_logevent_get_next2() has
been added in this release to take the place of the reverted
function, for use in applications that do not require backward
compatibility. In all other respects apart from this, the new
function is identical with its predecessor.
(Bug #18354165)
References: Reverted patches: Bug #16723708.
Retrieval of values from
BLOB and
TEXT columns by ClusterJ column
accessor methods was not handled correctly.
(Bug #18419468, Bug #19028487)

Hughes hails N'Zonzi contribution for Stoke
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes was pleased to see Steven N'Zonzi make an impression against Sunderland in an advanced position.
Renowned as a defensive midfielder, N'Zonzi was involved in both of Stoke's goals as 10-man Sunderland suffered a 2-0 defeat.
The Frenchman set up Charlie Adam's first-half opener before bursting forward to seal victory in the closing stages.
"We've been trying to get Steven N'Zonzi higher up the park," Hughes said.
"We think he's going to be more effective for us if he can do that on a regular basis. Of late he's been in better areas in terms of attacking play.
"He affected the game in the right way today. He created the goal for Charlie with great awareness and scored the second himself. We're pleased with his performance."
N'Zonzi became the 10th Stoke player to score in the Premier League this season, taking them level with Arsenal and Chelsea as the clubs with the most marksmen in 2013-14.
The victory was Hughes' 100th as a Premier League manager, the 50-year-old having taken charge of matches for Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City, Fulham and QPR prior to joining Stoke.
"I wasn't aware of that until someone mentioned it after the game," Hughes said.
"I suppose it's a nice stat but it's not about me. It's all about a good team performance and a win that I think will really settle us down."
Stoke now sit 14th, three points clear of the relegation zone.

Wow is it cold out. And I know we've been saying that all week, but these negative wind chills are seriously not cool. What I really have been wanting to do, naturally, is take a steamy, super-hot bath, but I know better from years in the beauty industry. A hot bath, ladies, really dries out your skin. (Same goes for a long, hot shower. Bogus, right?) So while many derms have warned me against its effects, I've decided to go rogue and take the plunge. Literally.
And there's NO way I'm the only one feeling that way. So if you're going to cheat and deal with parching you skin just this once, there are things you should do to minimize the moisture loss and ditch the post-bath dry-skin itch, according to the Shirley Madhere, M.D., a plastic surgeon in NYC who helps her clients' skin glow like crazy on the regular.
Put a Humidifier in the Bathroom. I know it sounds weird because the bathroom gets all steamy, but do it. Having one plugged in (but away from the tub, of course) will help keep the bathroom air moist, so when you dry off later your skin won't parch. You can then move it to the bedroom to sleep with one of these babies humming. Your skin will thank you for it. Dr. Madhere recomends Broksonic Middle Humidifiers, which are insanely chic looking. I mean, it's the first humidifier I've ever seen that I would set out on my coffee table. Plus, they run for an impressive 19 hours at a time.
Add Essential Oil. While you're in the tub, Madhere recommends adding between 20 and 30 drops of an oil like Dr. Hauschka Moor Lavender Calming Bath Essence. Not only does it have essential oils like lavender to calm skin and mind, it has jojoba and almond oil to hydrate.
End With a Cool Rinse. The final in-tub tip? (You might not like it, so I apologize in advance.) When you're done soaking, run the shower on a colder temp for a few minutes to cool down skin and stimulate lymphatic circulation. It sucks big time, yeah, but you'll avoid that red-puffy-swollen thing that normally happens after soaking in the hot water. Personally, I almost find the whole thing refreshing.
Apply Rich Moisturizers. As soon as you hop out of the bath, moisturize damp (not dry!) skin with a rich cream or lotion infused with shea or cocoa butter, such as Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Lotion, which has both ingredients. These hydrating butters lock moisturize into the skin and replace any that's been lost in the tub. And since you'll be cold again, I like to throw a little bit of cream in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it up for ten-second intervals (for a max of 30 seconds) before slathering all over my body.
Problem, solved.

Beat! Beat! Poetry Drums!
I thought I had great poetry lesson plans, poetry analysis activities, and excellent poetry teaching skills…
"Mr., your class is boring," said Walt. "Your poetry lesson plans, poetry analysis activities, and poetry teaching skills aren't very good. It's like watching leaves of grass grow or something. It's about time I teach you a lesson." Walt took a wrench out of his pocket and struck me on the head. I woke up in a classroom. The teacher was reading "O' Captain! My Captain!" The teacher was me.
Walt turned to me, "Now you'll understand how we feel." After listening to myself for an hour, I looked at the clock. Only 14 seconds had passed. I tried to sleep but I kept swatting me in the head whenever I put my head down. I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up, ran to the window, and jumped out, head first, onto the pavement below.
I was the teacher again. On my desk lay poetry lesson plans, poetry analysis activities, and a copy of the Portable Walt Whitman.
I share my favorite lesson with you. It's called Poetry Speed Analysis.
Before doing this assignment, students should know how to annotate and analyze a poem.
Instruct students to adhere to the following schedule.
- 5 minutes: Annotate a poem. Each student should annotate the same poem individually. Five minutes, obviously, will not allow them to annotate the entire thing, but it will get them started.
- 1 minute: Explain the assignment. Each group will have exactly 20 minutes to prepare a presentation on the same poem. The presentation must last exactly three minutes. The group's spokesperson will discuss the poem and instruct the entire class. It must include analysis, interpretation, and insight.
- 2 minutes: Form groups; move desks; choose captain; choose spokesperson.
- 20 minutes: Analyze the poem and prepare the presentation.
- 2 minutes: Move desks back and pack things up.
- 1 minute: All spokespersons leave the room.
- 3 minutes: Group 1 spokesperson presents. The presentation must last exactly 3 minutes, even if it means the spokesperson speaks for one minute and stands with his hands in his pockets for 2 minutes. If the spokesperson is still speaking at the 3 minute mark, give her the hook.
- 3 minutes each: Groups 2-7 present. Each group spokesperson walks in right when the previous spokesperson ends.
Break the assignment into three categories:
- Analysis – You may want to collect each group's annotations to properly assess this or just collect the group leader's paper with everyone's name on it. Another option is to assign a paragraph analysis. The spokesperson must present the group's analysis to the class.
- Presentation – Does the presentation take up 3 minutes. How well did the group prepare the spokesperson. It's OK to give the spokesperson a higher grade than the rest of the group.
- Participation – monitor the class and give a participation grade to each student. The spokesperson will, in most cases, receive an automatic 'A' on participation and you may choose to excuse them from the paragraph analysis.

So listen up. I do not like to lose, I do not like to give up, I do not like to fail, and I certainly do not like to be bested by a cheap cut of meat. Ever since the last pot roast, I have felt the need to seriously redeem myself in the kitchen. I mean, really. I even kept the thing in my fridge for almost a week trying to scheme up a plan to fix it and serve it for dinner. After finally giving up on it and tossing it into the trash, I started to plot my revenge. Who did I turn to in my time of need? Google! I googled and googled until I found a recipe that met my two required criteria: 1. the author of the recipe did not suggest that any fat, visible or invisible, be trimmed off and 2. that the cooking of the pot roast would take place in the oven and not the crock pot. These were the two areas that I suspected contributed the most to my last attempt going awry. I found a candidate on the Food Network website. I wrote down what I would need and headed off to the store. It was so refreshing to be able to buy a roast in the exact amount that I needed and not have to allow for the 2 lbs. of trimming that I usually do. What a bargain too! I followed the recipe exactly, except for the beef bouillon part because I think that it has msg in it.
Well, I didn't get it into the oven until 7:30, so it wasn't done until 10:30 (we'll blame it on the time change. or something), so it is on the schedule for Monday night's dinner. Here is what I know: It is tender! It smells great! I pulled off a tiny piece for a taste test and it was delicious! So pot roast, I won this round. Ha! Thanks Paula Deen!

This past weekend I had the great fortune of seeing firsthand L's childhood home and haunts in Hot Springs Arkansas. As part of a weekend adventure to a fellow A-state—we being in the A-state of Arizona of course—I learned of the myriad schools and adventures my husband had as a young child.
The morning after arriving in Little Rock, we spent the morning visiting his granddads house, which was unfortunately now in ruins. It seems, no one has spent time in the house since his death nearly 10 years ago, and the forest primeval is all too eager to gobble up the house as soon as it can.
We then headed to Hot Springs. After the morning just outside of Little Rock, I was unsure of what to expect of the city L grew up in. It's hilly, forested and beautiful in Hot Springs. I immediately fell in love with the history of the city, the wonderful forest trails and the surrounding lakes. I somehow felt even more connected to my husband of 12 years, understanding more of where he came from. We saw… no we stalked his old house; a house he is positive is haunted. I was seriously worried the neighborhood watch was going to call on us—"what are these two youngsters doing at this house!"
After both driving and walking around town for a few hours we finally had some real southern Barbecue at a famous place in Hot Springs called McClard's. We could seriously not stop joking about the name–pronouncing it Mac Lards—but boy was it good food. Vegetarians may want to look away at this time.
One of the main attractions in Hot Springs is the 'Gator Farm, a place with over 200 alligators and other various animals, and some of the biggest darned Cougars I have ever seen. Unfortunately, I got no good pictures of them. The highlight of the trip was the petting zoo full of adorable baby goats and lambs.
After a long day, we stayed the night in the famous Arlington Hotel and Spa. After a latenight drink at the bar we tucked in for the night watching the city go by 10 floors below.
Up next, a graduation.

Although the Recording Industry Association of America would have you believe that people who connect to online peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks are the worst criminals on the face of the Earth, they're actually pouring more money into the industry than those who don't engage in file sharing.
According to the American Assembly, which completed an exhaustive study into the Web surfing and buying habits of thousands of people in the United States and Germany, that supposedly toxic segment of the population spends 30% more on legal music than the perfectly clean non-pirates out there.
The study found that the average P2P user in the US has a music collection that consists of 24% illegally downloaded songs compared to 38% that were purchased legally. The rest are either ripped from CDs or copied offline from friends or family.
There are a lot of arguments to be make here. Obviously, those who have the knowledge to use P2P networks are already technologically adept so they are probably going to climb the scales higher on any question related to online consumption. In addition, there is the argument that if music piracy was more strongly prohibited, these same consumers would spend even more on legal music.
On the flip side, it could be that users download illegal music files just to test the waters and if they find an artist they like, they'll end up buying song after song that they would have never found otherwise.
The bottom line is that it always helps to be grounded back to reality. There is this mindset out there that people who connect to P2P networks are just leeches who expect to get everything they want and not have to pay for it. While that is certainly a segment of the P2P community, it is not indicative of the community as a whole.

Two years ago today the world lost an amazing French artist. His name was Jean Giraud also known under his pseudonym as Moebius. He was a major influence to three of us here at Art Explorers. One of many things that brought us together as friends. Today we take time to remember this amazing influential man, whom we all here agree is a hero to us all.
"John Difool, le monde d'Edena and especially Blueberry had a major influence on my life as a kid and incidentally later as an artist. The creativity, humor and craftsmanship behind those incredible stories expanded my imagination and motivated me to draw more and more. Thank you so much Mr. Giraud!"
"Growing up, Moebius has always been the perfect example of someone who could do a job, and also keep his artistic integrity. On top of that his attraction and curiosity towards all genre and styles still stays unequaled. As an adult I thoroughly enjoyed his interviews by Numa Sadul, it taught me so much about how to grow up and the pitfalls to be careful about as an artist. As a designer, the most personal satisfaction I have ever had, was to work on two sequel projects in some ways linked to my hero, Prometheus and Tron. I was lucky enough to browse through some of his original drawings shared by Steven Lisberger, and was blown away by the simplicity and perfection of his lines. I am truly sad never having met him, there are many things I would have loved to ask him."

LOOK: Police Caught This Couple While Making a 'Quickie' Inside of SUV!
A couple's intimate Valentine's Day activity was cut short when police found them having a quickie inside
SUV while parked on a hill. a
With nearby motels and inns fully booked, the two unidentified individuals may have failed to find a more private place to get frisky.
Seeing the hill as a good, secluded spot, the two took their chances and got busy.
Sadly the local police were onto them as they were probably monitoring places like this where adventurous lovers might do something inappropriate.
In this video, the two weren't even done putting their pants back on when police apprehended them for doing a sexual act in a public area.
So if you think spending Valentine's Day alone is as bad as it gets, well, at least you're not spending it in a cold, cold cell like these two.

Out of Hibernation
Posted by Susan
I finally ran outdoors today!! Oooh, it was awesome! But I'll tell ya all about it in a second ;)
First, I was rudely awakened by my alarm at 6am on a Saturday because I had to work :( I'd been planning on an outdoor run this afternoon, but still did an exercise DVD in case I wouldn't be able to squeeze the run in. 50 minutes of Jillian Michaels' No More Trouble Zones. It's mostly a strength-based DVD using hand weights and bodyweight. I like it!
And that "old favourite" I prepared last night? The breakfast cookie!!
Oooohhhh man. I used to eat one of these every single Sat & Sun when I was working the 5am shift every weekend at the radio station. It's been too long! (for the breakfast cookie, not the 5am shift).
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
- cinnamon
- raisins
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 3 tbsp butternut squash baby food
Mixed all up in a bowl, flattened on a plate, and left in the fridge to harden overnight.
I usually eat these with my hands, but decided I wanted to "frost" it with yogurt, thus a fork was required. It was awesome! My homemade protein bars by the way, are essentially breakfast cookies with extra protein powder. Easy peasy!
Work actually wasn't that bad today. I was working with a film crew to capture a student event. I wasn't stuck at a desk or anything :)
I was feeling experimental when I came home, so I decided to try my hand at Heather's homemade coconut butter. An extra source of fat? Yesplease!
I started with a bag of cheap unsweetened shredded coconut.
Dumped into my food processor…
I added a tablespoon of coconut oil, but it still wasn't getting nice and creamy like I'd pictured. Perhaps it was my cheap, dried-out coconut? Would it be better toasted?
Whatever, coconut is coconut and I still have a jar of a tasty oat topper :)
I felt my intense food processing was adequate warm-up for my first outdoor run of the season!! A momentous occasion indeed. According to my blog archives, November 14 was the last time I ran outdoors (in similar conditions actually – 6C, or 42F).
After exactly four months of running maybe 5-10 miles a week on the treadmill, I had absolutely no expectations for today's run. I didn't get to take my favourite trail as parts of it are still snow covered. Instead, I took the more populated road to downtown along the river. A quick out-and-back route that took me about 29 minutes. One thing I noticed right away is that my cardiovascular abilities have improved a lot! I wasn't huffing and puffing like I used to and my heart didn't feel like it was going to beat out of my chest :P It's definitely going to take my legs a little while to adjust again though. They were a little shocked today!
Solid run folks. Felt good to dust off my running hat :D
It was 4pm by the time I got back, and I technically hadn't eaten a "real meal" since my breakfast cookie (ie just lots of snacks to hold me over). So I dug deep into my cupboards and came up with this:
Canned salmon and Health Valley lentil soup.
It was still missing something though, so I then burrowed into the freezer and pulled out this:
I never have any memory of buying these blocks of spinach, and yet there's always some in my freezer?
After a little curry, maple syrup and 15 minutes to simmer on the stove, I had this fabulous bowl:
Impressed. I'll definitely be buying this lentil soup again! I've heard people complain that Health Valley is bland because it has no salt, but I just see it as a blank canvas. I can add any flavouring I want!
After dinner I put an official end to No Grocery Week and spent a ludicrous amount of money on groceries, undoing all the savings from this past week. A stocked fridge just makes me happy :)
Then it was off to another play being put on at my university. Technically, more "work" but watching plays doesn't really feel like work. Once again I was impressed by the talent my school has to offer!
Now it's waaaay past my bedtime. Not to mention, losing an hour tonight with Daylight Savings! Hope y'all had a great Saturday!
Question of the Day: Do you exercise outdoors in the winter? I don't. It gets cold and I just can't handle the harsh air. Especially when it comes to running, it's dangerous with the ice! And then there's the summer, where I have to be out there at 5am before the insane heat sets in. Yes, I am a running princess :P

The mission of Operation Catnip is to reduce the number of homeless stray and feral community cats by sterilizing as many cats as possible. To achieve this goal, Operation Catnip devotes most of its resources, including volunteer time and funding, to sterilization.
Other Medical Procedures
Community cats commonly arrive at each clinic with a variety of medical problems. While humane intentions mandate that these conditions receive appropriate veterinary attention, it is not always possible within the narrow limitations of an outpatient spay-neuter clinic to provide the complete care that every cat may need to regain health.
Generally, if the procedure is medically advisable (not cosmetic), easily corrected with available resources, requires little specialized post-operative care, has low risk of post-operative complications, and does not detract from the overall efficiency of the clinic, it will be performed. The following considerations help determine if additional medical procedures are appropriate:
- Does the condition interfere with the cat's quality of life?
- Will treatment of the condition divert substantial surgery time and clinic resources from sterilization?
- Does the clinic have the necessary drugs, equipment, and expertise to perform the procedure properly?
- Will appropriate post-operative care be provided?
- Will the condition or its treatment interfere with the cat's wellbeing after release?
What Procedures are Routinely Performed
- Neutering cryptorchid male
- Ovariohysterectomy for pyometra (unless septicemic)
- Repair of umbilical hernias in females as part of a ventral midline approach
- Repairing significant umbilical hernias in males
- Lancing and draining abscesses
- Suturing minor lacerations
- Removal of loose teeth
- Amputation of digits or tails
- Enucleation of injured and inflamed nonsalvable eyes
- Simple lumpectomies if mass interferes with normal function
- CPR, if underlying cause of arrest is likely to resolve, as in anesthetic complication
What Procedures are NOT Routinely Performed
Feral cats are commonly afflicted with more serious injuries such as fractured extremities and emaciation. While veterinary care for these injuries is indicated, such involved procedures are not within the scope of an outpatient clinic. These cases are referred to a full-service clinic where facilities are available for proper surgery and follow-up care. Humane euthanasia of debilitated cats is performed if suffering cannot be corrected. The Clinic Supervisor and lead veterinarian will make final determination regarding the provision of advanced treatments or euthanasia.
- Ophthalmic surgery
- Orthopedic surgeries
- Major tumor excisions
- Dental extractions requiring dental instruments or cutting drills
- Gastrointestinal or urologic surgeries
- Pinna amputations
- Surgeries judged to be primarily cosmetic
- Medical workups
- CPR, if underlying cause of arrest is a severe medical condition, or the cat is unlikely to survive

How often have you been in a safety briefing and heard someone say something along the lines of, "all these new safety laws and procedures are nothing but more red tape. I have been doing this job for years and never had a problem."
I heard those words only a short time before a worker with 30 years of experience in the construction industry almost lost his life when he fell from a three-storey ladder.
Picture the scene: the side of the building needs to be painted. The area is almost 10 metres high. Not wanting to "waste" money on a boom lift, the very experienced worker decides that he will just do it from a very long extension ladder.
He doesn't think of it as a big deal. After all, he has been working on ladders and doing this kind of works his whole life and never once had a problem. All this new working at heights stuff just slows the job down and costs more money. As an afterthought he throws on a harness and attaches it to an anchor point on the roof via a 50-metre rope. Sounds safe enough right? He has a harness on so what could go wrong?
Well, a lot can go wrong. For a start, the anchor point was not directly above the work area, but was located five metres to the side; therefore it wasn't "fit for purpose." He hadn't conducted a proper risk assessment which would have assured that he didn't use a ladder but used a boom or scaffold. He did not have a SWMS or a rescue plan. He had not followed the hierarchy of control to eliminate or reduce the risks.
While working away on the ladder he overbalanced and fell. The rope line arrested his fall and most probably saved his life, but he then wildly swung across the face of the wall five metres until he was below where the anchor was located (this is known as the pendulum effect). During this process, he was repeatedly slammed into the wall. When he finally came to rest, he was upside down and tangled up in the rope line. He sustained severe injuries including broken ribs, a broken shoulder, punctured lung, cuts and bruises.
This worker was extremely lucky not to have lost his life. Ten months on and three operations later, he is still not back at work. I can guarantee you that hiring that boom lift sure looks like a pretty cheap option to him now.
This could have been avoided by following the Work Health and Safety Act and Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces Code of Practice.
There were four basic steps which, if followed, would have avoided this situation.
Step 1: Clearly set out the job that needs to be done.
Step 2: Conduct a risk assessment which identifies all the known and potential hazards and what level of risk exists.
Step 3: Following the hierarchy of control, write an SWMS.
Step 4: Have another person with experience in that area of risk control look over the SWMS and ensure that all areas of risk have been adequately controlled.
Every day on work sites, I come in contact with workers who still think that safety is a boring topic which does nothing but slows down their work. They don't believe an incident will ever happen to them, but then, neither did the worker in the story outlined above.
It only takes a split second to end your life. Accidents are called that for a reason; nobody planned them and they weren't meant to happen. No one goes to work and expects to be hurt or killed, but the reality is that each year hundreds of workers have their lives either taken from them or changed forever in the blink of an eye.
Don't become a statistic.
