OMG! This is great you two. While my money is on Christine, I think she should ditch Coco in favor of Zucker,
You don't have to read this whole thing if you don't want, you can just:
Support Team Christine by CLICKING HERE
Support Team Davyd by CLICKING HERE
I have never run a marathon but since a non-profit whose board I sit on is fundraising through it, I had to find a way to do something. Fortunately there are a bunch of different races and Christine and I talked about the 5k and maybe the dogs would come along. And we get to support saving homeless pets which we do a lot. Not just counting the 5 that live with us.
Then I innocently joked who would give out first on a 5 k (About 3 miles) her with little coco or me with the Saint Bernard's.
People starting talking smack on FB starting with Christine asking if I was challenging (and yes, she called me dude), I said "It's on" and now we are in a bind to actually be ready to get up on May 17, get the dogs warmed up, and walk around city park in Denver.
So now it's a competition to save homeless pet lives and give each other a public thrashing. You can help by being one of our donating sponsors. We are competing in the race, but we need sponsors to as well so there is a twofold competition going on here.
Its a bit of a rabbit and a hare competition
Team Christine is made up of :
Christine – A svelt former professional athlete with drive and self-motivation who dominates the household in fitness and discipline. Christine's strategy is to move forward for the entire race to the finish line without stopping. She is pretty sure this will be more than enough to outwit the competition.
- Coco will be groomed to be more aerodynamic for the race
Her partner Coco, a 3 year old pure bred mutt weighing in at 7.5 lbs, a ball of fury with a no holds barred attitude to dominating the larger dogs in her pack. She has been known sit on the heads of competitors, run in every direction to distract them and steal food from their mouths. Her body blocks are effective on the cats, those she generally just bounces off the other dogs without doing any damage except the element of surprise. She has the attention span of an insect.

Team Davyd is made up of:
Davyd worked out regularly for a week in 1999 and is relying on that intense regimen to carry him through this event. He is studying the City Park maps for weaknesses where no one will see him take a short cut. His strategy is to distract the other team with shiny objects and unhealthy store bought treats.
He is accompanied by Zucker (Zoo-Ka), an 8 year old full Saint Bernard. Zucker is much like a Tolkien dwarf."We dwarves are natural sprinters! Very dangerous over short distances!" She has been training by lying on the ground staring up at Christine guilting her into throwing the race. "You wouldn't make me lose would you?" – Zucker
On team Davyd is the Mighty Quinn. Quinn had an injury when first joining the team years ago but has come back from his knee injury. His value is in his need to stay by Christine which may pull Davyd and Zucker over the finish line if not first, right behind Christine. He's hoping for a strong finish at the last minute.

1. Who wins the 5k walk with the dogs AND
2. Who raises the most money to help save homeless pets?
Let's face it, Christine has a distinct advantage. There will probably be a whole bunch of people she doesn't know giving her money, and here's why:She's hot.
And she may be undermining Davyd's team.
But Davyd has a secret up my sleeve:
Actually looking for more mellow normal state which is not that insane look.
One more try:
- That's my good girl!
And I am still working on getting Quinn to come along:
And I make some damn good food for these guys that give me some cred with them:
So know you know and you're on the line to make a decision. Who are you for, or who are you against? As Dylan said, "You gotta server somebody." The line in the sand is drawn so figure out who you want to support (or who you want to humiliate). remember, all this money goes to save the lives of homeless pets. So give early and give often to you team!

2 thoughts on "Christine and Davyd Colfax Run Grudge Match – Sponsor them and Save Lives"
Though that week in 1999 certainly might put Davyd over the edge in this competition, being dragged across the finish line by roughly his body weight in slobbery dogs does NOT count as a win. I'm certain Smudge is cheering you on from doggie heaven, but my money is on Christine.

Even though patrons at outdoor sports facilities, resorts, and parks are told that they are participating in activities at their own risk, facility managers must do their utmost to preserve the health and safety of their patrons.
Warning patrons of imminent danger from lightning, hail, downpours, and even heavy snowfall is a task of facilities management, but where can they get the most recent and accurate information? The answer is from their own advanced weather alert system. Here are some weather alerting system benefits that will revolutionize your ability to accurately warn your patrons of potentially dangerous weather events.
Timely Evacuation of Area
Having your own weather monitoring system on-site will expedite your evacuation of patrons to safety.
Weather centers can be connected to a mass outdoor notification system that can send an audible message and strobe light signal across the area. This notification system can also be integrated with a lightning sensor system.
Enhanced Asset Protection
With the earliest warning possible, you will be able to direct personnel to bring as much equipment indoors as possible before severe weather strikes. That way you may be able to avoid a costly property insurance claim for your business or organization.
Limit Employee Injury
With a timely weather alert system, you will be able to reduce the number of injuries from employees rushing to get people and equipment to safety. It will also be less likely that an employee will be stuck out in the dangerous weather without any prior warning. You will also be able to more accurately determine when it is safe for grounds keeping crews to go back out to work.
Build a Reputation for Safety
Build your reputation for safety in the community by utilizing a seamless approach to weather detection and prediction. With scaleable solutions and customizable approaches, Earth Networks is at the forefront of weather alert systems. Contact us to talk about the solutions that would be best for your park or recreation facility.

Article in Response to Controversy
If I were to formulate two broad generalizations to approximate the common-sense attitudes my students tend to exhibit toward the educational policies operating under the banner of No Child Left Behind (2001; NCLB), I would suggest that 1) despite perceiving marginal difficulties with the legislation, on the whole, many consider its original purposes to be well-intentioned and thus, morally legitimate; and that 2) largely because of this bestowal of legitimacy, the totality of NCLB's bureaucratic structure and presence, as a productive agency of state, is tacitly assumed to be politically neutral and innocent of power relations.

one instead of two pills. Is it possible/safe to reduce to no sleeping pills??
A person has been on prescription sleeping pills for 40 years. About 3 yrs ago her dr prescribed?

Responses (1)
how long have you been on the one you're taking now? lowering the dosage and/or stopping sleeping pills that one has taken that long has to be done very, very carefully. do not stop taking them "cold turkey". if you are wanting to stop taking them for your own reasons, go in to see your doctor so that he/she can properly instruct you on weining off, & monitor you during that process. are you wanting to try a new, different one or just feel you don't need them anymore? must be tapered off slowly & carefully under doctor's supervision, otherwise can cause very, very serious withdrawals & other health problems

Program Pendedahan Kerjaya Doktor (Day 4 = O&G)
The HO talked to us. He was also a scholarship recipient who studied in Russia. 6 years there. He told us about life there. He said it was ok, studying was fine and the allowance given was really huge amount that he got to travel around the world during winter breaks. And only then I knew the tuition fee in Rusia medical school was much cheaper than Australia! It was approximately RM150,000 only compared to the almost 1mil fee in Australia. My my…But the living expenses there were huge too but please prepare about RM300,000 for that six years if you have the intention to study Medicine there.
Then we went into Labour Room!! Haha. Surprisingly, there were quite a number of mothers there waiting for deliverance and many had just finished. So when we reach there, no screaming was going on but we heard sound of heartbeat of babies in the air.
~Skip the cleaning placenta part ~
(The most interesting part but terrifying normal souls like us. Too much blood.)
When we put on the gloves and mask, we got scolded by a nurse. Well, we deserved it. Because we didn't know how to put on it properly and didn't ask for instruction also. So…haha. Fortunately, the scolding was worthy because after that, we were taught in detailed about the way to wash hands, wear and remove gloves and mask. (What we normally do are all wrong!) NEW THING! :D
Then, we spend the whole afternoon in O&G clinic to observe the way of doctors communicating with patients. Soft, tender, not harsh yet professional. Do not get carried away emotionally by patient. Remain calm at all times.
Tomorrow: Specialist Clinic and Closing Ceremony!
p/s: Help..dont want go back KL already. My homework hasn't touch while most people already finish…!@#$!!!!!!
Program Pendedahan Kerjaya Seorang Doktor (Day 3 = Orthopaedic)
Went to the orthopedic ward today. 7 doctors including housemen, medical officer and specialist. In this ward, you can see lots of metal frames and heavy loads around. We went for a round and saw
- a guy who was just admitted had his hand (behind thumb) slashed open. Tendon cut. Yikes....seems really really painful. Flesh and blood stuck on the dressings.
- A guy with amputated mother toe. The amputated foot wasnt stitch Flesh and blood again. Plus, bone. This is the first time I saw real bone exposed like that. Because last time when people keep telling me they cut until can see bone inside, i dont get it. Now i do, and it is not a pretty sight, believe me.
- Woman with amputated leg. I didn't know what her story was but the nurse just told me that when her leg become black, it means it is "dead" already. No oxygen to that part. It had to be amputated as soon as possible, if not, the germs there will spread to other parts of the body and amputated area has to be wider and wider...pity her. But luckily hers is still below knee level. And i learned that we can take off the stitching thread on day 14.
- Another thing is that, we must not lie on the same position with the same pose for too long time. It will cause the skin on your back to become like rot. A big hole filled with pus will form…partly cause by heat.
- Today is "soft tissue day". Most new cases and related to soft tissues (means not bones)
- We went to the children ward too!!! Saw kids there but pity them also. Sick children.
Oh ya, michelle from chung hua also joined us today. She didn't notice the letter until yesterday. Well, thank God that I went to check on Sunday. (I think God suddenly told me to go to the website and check… :D)
After ward round, we went to the houseman's case presentation. :D This is my note which…form less than 1% of what he said, because we do not understand what he was talking about most of the time:
Bone and Joint Infection
Osteomyelitis . TB.
Osteo = Bone. Mye=Marrow. –itis = inflammation
So osteomyelitis is Bone Marrow Inflammation.
It normally occur in thoracalumbar spine in adults. Common in infants born with difficulties. Epiphysis is expanding part of new bone.
Treatment: Dehydration, antibiotic, surgical drainage.
*the houseman was asked to draw lots of diagrams too. So, brush up your arts future doctors!
Then I went back to the ward while my group mates went to have lunch. While waiting for my stomach to become hungry, suddenly the Dr Denny and a HO wanted to do bone traction. (what?? Nevermind, you'll see later). So, I decided to stay back even though I was hungry already…haha There was a guy with bone fracture at thigh. To make the 2 parts of fractured ferum into a straight line, a metal rod is to be inserted through the tibia and a heavy load is hanged on the metal rod.
The 10 kg is…exaggerating. Don't know the real weight. But during the operation, the doctor first make a small cut on the skin, blood gushes out and while the rod was bring hammered hardly (literally) into the tibia and out on the other side through the skin, the patient was like "aduh aduh! SAKIT!!! KEJAP!! SAKIT!" (local anaesthetic injected only)…I feel like fainting. Not sure if it is because I was really too hungry or it is too hot there or this is just bloody terrible. Maybe all..haha I decided to walk away and take a breath then go back in again. The doctor ask, "So, you still want medicine?" Lols…I'm not afraid of blood!
After that…I had my lunch straight away. Cannot stand the hunger anymore, how did the doctors starve whole day??
It was more or less like this today. Afternoon we did not do anything… :P
Tomorrow: O&G!!!!!

Program Pendedahan Kerjaya Seorang Doktor (Day 2 Surgical)
Surgical Department today! Was late by 1 minute today because I went to the school before going to hospital. :P 3 of us spent some time looking for where for we should go but barged into the Operation Theater door instead. But at last found Sister Wong at the Male Surgical Ward.
She gave some briefing and let us follow the Dr Wong, Dr Suraj, Dr Tarek, Dr Kenneth and Dr Chong(houseman) round the ward. We walked from one cubicle to another. The environment in the ward is much calmer than E&T yesterday and most patients there are waiting for surgery or had done it. What the doctors did was to attend to each patient check on their condition upon referring to the previous diagnosis or reports from tests. We were quite confused with the doctors' conversation actually but made an effort to listen anyway. (all those "terms" =.=")
Then we went to the Female Surgical Ward. There were fewer patients there. Some with jaundice, gastritis, goitre and finally cancer. We witnessed how the surgeons told the patient that she had tumor. It was hard, you have to be diplomatic, be gentle yet firm at the same time. The patient and her family member started to cry, they keep asking, is there any hope? What if the tumor is removed? Any hope? The surgeon can only tell them, it can be removed but total remove or not, it is not guaranteed but do not give up, there is hope. Yeap, the tender loving side of a doctor. We all have to understand how big the pressure is to tell someone that he/she has cancer or cannot live any longer or things like that. But that's how a doctor's career is, a doctor is not a god, a doctor can only do his very best to save a person who depend on him to stay alive.
Then, we went to the Palliative Care Unit. The patients sent to this unit are those like with last stage cancer. The tubes connected are significantly less and the doctors told us this is a unit to let them relieve their pain before they "depart". The family members of patients here should be prepared but that doesn't mean give up hope. The doctors still do whatever they can to save the patient. We saw them; some looked ok while 1 was suffering. He was gasping for air literally.
We went to another ward and came back. The one gasping for air had passed away. Shocked. This is the first time whereby 5 minutes ago, he was still alive then the next, gone. The family members all gather around discussed about the funeral. The body was covered by white linen. Then attendant from bilik mayat came and took the body away. We looked at the doctors but they can only continue with what they are doing. Maybe, they are used to it already. As what we have been told, there are 2 things in life that is for sure: 1. Taxes. 2. Death. So, we should accept it as it is.
We also went to Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Yea, saw many complicated machines and tubes inside. The aircond broke down so it was a bit warm inside. The funny thing is, one of the patients inside use magazine to fan herself. Haha…ICU patient fanning herself with magazine, believe me, you can't imagine how was it. The nurses tried to help her, but she insisted to DIY. But I believe she was quite ok one already, moving to normal ward soon I guess. :D
Afternoon, the doctors are busy doing their paperwork and nothing much happened in the ward. After talking to some of the patients which was really awkward because I don't know what diseases they had, no knowledge about their diseases and some don't even know what disease they had. So just a mild chat and I decided to go to the pantry and chat with Sister Wong. Well, I found out she is Sharon Wong's aunt. Haha. My group mates were at somewhere else chatting with their friends. So I tried to glance through my homework but the weather was too warm and I became so sleepy…At last, I napped in the pantry. Haha… Only after my group mates came by to wake me up only I go walk around the wards again. The ward seems to stink in the afternoon but tolerate with it please.
There was also another family crying and mourning later in the afternoon. Another death case. They follow the attendant who was pushing the body to the bilik mayat while calling out the deceased's name loudly along the corridor. Sad.
Whole afternoon of walking around the wards then chatting with candidates from O&G and orthopedic department, it's finally 4pm. Doctor Tarek finally came back and with 3 housemen, he went to round the FMW again. I met Lynn Wei!( Or should I refer her as Dr Wong here. Hehe. ) And 5pm, go home!!!
Today, I had learnt to: communicate with patients, Life and Death.
Tomorrow: Orthopedic Department!!!

Program Pendedahan Kerjaya Seorang Doktor (Day 1 = E&T)
I only knew I had to attend this program yesterday afternoon. Thank God for suddenly letting me have the urge to open the JPA website. Actually I was posted to Hospital Kuala Lumpur because I thought I would be in KL during the time of program. Who knows…it will be this soon and I am back in Miri already. So had this tedious process of calling HKL, JPA and then Hospital Miri to let me transfer here.
So, 9.00 am sharp, reached Hospital Miri main entrance. I think the last time I came here was during primary school because of asthmatic attacks last time. Since it healed, I had never stepped into this placed hence no whatsoever memories. It was a bit dark but peaceful. Typical hospital but with no medication smell. We registered ourselves and sat down in Niah Room. There were 14 of us and luckily, Kevin, Clement, Choon Vui and Tze Kiong were there too. There were student posted from Limbang, Marudi, Lawas and Bintulu too. Ms.Yusliha (if not spelled wrongly) briefed us first. She was very outgoing and friendly that made the whole situation goes from super tense to fun. She told us about the rules and regulations and all sorts of stuff. Then the Ketua Pengarah came and said a few words too. (Mostly about being a doctor not very glamorous and all) Then a senior MO came and advised us to remember to come back to serve Sarawak after graduation if we really DID medicine. Then Dr. Wong, a surgeon came and talked about surgery, not much about that but more on a doctor's life again. About how we have to sacrifice everything, to help people, no like what shown in TV, have to be really determine to finish medical school and everything. We had a good long talk then.
Enough with that, then we are divided into groups. Was happy because I was assigned to a group with 2 other students from SM Sains. I mean, MEETING NEW FRIENDS AGAIN, yeah!! Haha. They are Charlie and Nur Sharyn. 2 very polite future-doctors-to-be. :D For the first day, our group went to the E&T dept (Emergency and Trauma). Woohoo…was so so excited, because I believe this is the most nervous and busy dept…(I guess only ok, I don't really know how a hospital operate now) When there and wow, packed with patients. I never knew Hospital Miri would be so busy, patients keep coming in non stop, some urgent, some not, but all "not in a good mood". I mean of course, who would? They are sick what… We met our first MO, Dr Priscilla Joseph. She's nice though really really busy (Bear in mind, the ratio of doctor to patient in Malaysia is about 1:300 as told by the senior MO, 300 MAN!!!!!!!) She looked very professional. We also met a medical student posted here from England.
E&T have 3 zone, Green, Yellow and Red. Green is for normal patient. Yellow is where most emergency cases enter after the primary triage. We saw a lot of people there and it stinks at first, but we got used to it after that. We also visit the Bilik Pemerhatian for stable patients under observation.
I saw:
- How they take blood sample (looks like a painful process, I don't know…) Even baby had to do so and he cried like no tomorrow. But we have to be careful not to touch the blood with bare hands because blood is very dangerous.
- People having sodium chloride and dextrose infusion. Helped a patient to carry her infusion pack while she goes to toilet…lols..
- Patient with swollen eyes (Something opaque blocked the whole eye ball which reminds me of Saul. Haha)
- Patient with heart problem (The nurses measure the heart electric impulse by sticking some suction clips with gel onto the chest...k la, i'm sakai, never saw it before k...)
- Patient with ehem…genital part problem. What should I say, this is the first time I look at people's genital part. I mean, directly. It was a bit awkward at first, but the med. Student say we should just get use to it. K fine. We actually saw a few more patient with this type of problem after that
- Patient who was unconscious being sent here and the MA (Medical assistant) keep pumping air into him.
- People who was sent in due to car and domestic accidents. Saw the MAs help them clean and sew up the wound.
I can't sit still the whole day. Charlie and Sharyn were already tired and sitting there but I keep running around…look here look there… :p
The ambulance from Berkenu, Limbang and Miri were coming in non stop. I did make an effort to ask an ambulance driver if i could have a ride in the ambulance but...who knows, asked the wrong driver, he was the Limbang Ambulance driver. Haha....
And lastly, this is really due to my ignorance. There was a guy sent in with breathing difficulties. So I was standing right beside his bed. He was unconscious. Then a MA came in, he pointed ILI with his fingers to me. What? What ILI? Then he went away. I continue looking that guy. Dr Michael, another MO came in and told me, "He got ILI o.." I was like "What?" "You don't know what is ILI?" "No" I replied, still smiling… "We suspect he got H1N1." AAAA, I ran away immediately. Lols. I know if I really want to be a doctor, no matter what type of disease it is, I should face it. But man, I have no mental preparation at all for this… (haha and no mask) So I quickly grabbed a mask from sister and put on after that…gosh…haha…
DEFEATED? No!!!! Instead, this made me even more interested about this whole career. Back to medicine field? Erm...let's talk about that after this 5 days program.
Tomorrow: Surgery Department!!!

The Honda Infiniti Q60 Concept gives a sneak peak at the future of sports coupes as envisioned by Honda. This 2+2 coupe is similar to a production-model coupe which is set to be manufactured next year.
Unveiled at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show to much fanfare, this vehicle is 184.6 inches long, 73.4 inches wide and 53.9 inches high. It is fitted with a mean double arch grille, an aerodynamic tail spoiler and 21-inch wheels with spokes finished in a combination of glossy black chrome and matte black.
The Infinito Q60 Concept is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine that is designed to "reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions while boosting power and torque."
Honda hasn't revealed when a similar production will be made available or how much it might cost.

Rugby put the boot in on Wilkinson with penalty clause
A REVOLUTIONARY first step was taken yesterday to limit severely the impact on rugby union of place-kickers such as Jonny Wilkinson, England's record-breaking fly half.
On the concluding day of a three-day International Rugby Board (IRB) conference in Auckland, leading coaches and administrators, including Sir Clive Woodward, the England head coach, agreed that the penalty goal had too strong an influence on the outcome of matches. Delegates recommended that penalties should be awarded only for offences that are bracketed under Law 10 — foul play — and that technical offences should instead be penalised by a free kick.
If this recommendation were to become law, it would transform the nature of the game because points cannot be accrued directly from a free kick. Points-scoring at…

(A guest post by Rick Valerga, author of The Cure for the Common Project)
About a week ago, project management author Rick Valerga approached me through the blog to chat about social media. We hit it off right away and I immediately vomited a thousand random thoughts onto him. In retrospect, I'd've thought he'd be completely traumatized by my regurgitation, but not only did he accept my random advice with class, he even returned with a highly relevant guest post that I'm delighted to share with you today!
It's a privilege to be included on Papercut Edge. Geoff's blog is amazing.
I recently read a book that described climbing K2. K2 is the second tallest mountain in the world, but it's largely regarded as the world's most dangerous. For every four people who successfully make it to the top, one person dies on the mountain.
That's a harrowing statistic, particularly because these people are NOT wimps. Most of them are world class athletes. They need an impressive climbing resume just to get on the mountain. And their physical and mental toughness is legendary. They have access to world class tools and technologies, but still, some of them die on K2.
Apparently, one of the biggest reasons that these casualties occur is that the climbers don't stick to their principles. For example, on the day they are supposed to go up to the top, they will make a commitment to turn around at 2pm. But they will keep going until 5, or even 7 pm, and that will guarantee that they descend at night, in the dark. Or they will get impatient and go up in questionable weather, and find themselves stranded in an environment where they can barely see their hands in front of their faces.
What does this have to do with project leadership?
Like these world class mountaineers, many project managers have their own impressive resumes. They also have access to cutting-edge tools and technologies. They are decidedly not wimps. Yet failure happens. Why? Often, like many of these mountaineers, they lose sight of their principles in a chaotic environment. Their tools are rendered ineffective.
What does it look like when project managers lose sight of their principles? They struggle with a reluctance to deliver bad news until it's too late. They allow the project's priorities to be shuffled. They permit competing storylines about their project to develop. They try to take on way too much work themselves. Or they try to blame others and absolve themselves of responsibility.
In the world of mountaineering, there is a legend named Ed Viesturs. Ed is the only person from the US who has climbed all 14 of the world's tallest peaks. And Ed claims that he has stayed alive because he has stayed true to one core principle: "Getting to the summit is optional. Getting down is mandatory." I find this rather profound. In a sport where the pressure to capitalize on time-perishable opportunities is high, Ed has set aside his own ambition and agendas when needed to preserve his core principle. Yet in doing so, he has not "backed down", rather he has become one of the greatest alpine mountaineers in history.
Famed author Jon Krakauer puts this all into perspective, writing that Ed "has shown us that it is possible to climb the worlds tallest peaks without taking reckless chances, and without sacrificing one's honor or integrity."
In the same manner, we as project leaders need to ingrain integrity into all that we do within the project environment. We need to stay true to our principles in times when we may be pressured to do otherwise. And as I've talked with my readers, I've learned that many of them agree that this approach is essential to keeping projects aligned with baseline targets.
I wish you all of the best on your next project "adventure"!

High School Principal Makes Bush Take the Rap
Filed Under Education, Entertainment, Politics | 13 Comments
If you're wondering if the Bush Derangement Syndrome has died down at all, one high school principal in Georgia reminds us that the answer to that question is "nah, not really":
A Henry County parent is complaining he wasn't notified when Atlanta rapper T.I. was invited to speak to his children's school. And he was shocked by the response the school's principal gave him.
Myers was upset that T.I., a convicted felon also known as Clifford Harris, was speaking to students at Woodland Middle School.
In an e-mail to principal Terry Oatts, Myers said he told Oatts to give parents a choice of whether to "allow our children to be exposed to these questionable individuals.â€
The principal responded to the parent's concern in a thoughtful, caring, unbiased manner worthy of a top-notch educator. Just kidding…
Oatts' reply, according to e-mails provided to WSB: "I thought about asking a guy who snorted cocaine and got arrested for DUI when he was 30 to come and speak to our kids, but President George W. Bush was not available.â€
Maybe no child should be left behind, but some principals should be.
Incidentally, with a little Googling I was able to find out that Principal Oatts is a fan of civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois (Oatts even wrote a book about him). Du Bois once referred to genocidal maniac Joseph Stalin as "a great man."
So I guess the fact that Oatts isn't a fan of Bush is a compliment to Bush of the highest order, but lord only knows what the kids are being taught.

This is what our tax money pays for? I bet if we looked at the backgrounds of the teachers in the Detroit school district we would find many like Oatts. Which would explain the 25% graduation rate in that district.

So anyone who criticizes Bush has "Bush Derangement Syndrome":. But teabagging loons who draw Nazi parallels to Health Care Reform are sound Americans and critical thinkers

Thanks for the typical idiot liberal response, Nick. Not sure how the Tea Party protesters have anything to do with a moronic educator that injects his dimwitted liberal politics into his profession….but I'm sure you'll find a way to justify a comparison yourself.
And great comment Doug, I drove around for hours in my Humvee myself….

Only a lib like Nick would defend such a poor excuse for an educator. And apparently on those lib sites that Nick visits they never disparraged or depicted Bush as Hitler. Or depicted Condoleeza Rice as a big lipped Aunt Jemimah or Clarence Thomas as an Uncle Tom.

A high school principle who answers a parent's question about a rapper-felon's visit to his kid's school by taking a shot at Bush would qualify as a healthy case of BDS… yes.
If a "teabagging loon" were principle of a kid's school and bashed Obama in a response to a completely unrelated topic I doubt you'd be defending the principle in question.
And welcome back, Nick! I burned a huge pile of tires last night in honor of Earth Day. How about you?
Nick on
April 23rd, 2010 4:21 pm
Did I defend the educator? No, I simply pointed out that when someone criticizes Bush, Dougiepooh thinks they have a "derangement syndrome.". But when someone criticizes Obama – they are good loyal Americans defending freedom!
Just shining a light on the horsebleep logic you pinheads use.
Doug, the best way to enjoy a good tire burning is to get in close and breath deep. Give it a try next time.

Did you just suggest the fine old practice of "necklacing" as a penalty for criticizing Obama? How progressive of you!
But then again, you no doubt think that the implicit threat of murder of political dissenters is just fine, due to the racistsexisthomophobiceliminationist nature of anyone who does not worship at the altar of Obamunism.

Ill health? It was Doug who seemed to think those who cared for the Earth deserved scorn? I was simply supporting his beliefs, encouraging him to breath deeply in his philosophical excercises.
I hope you are well, Nanny.

Actually, you were implicitly calling for his murder using a method perfected Winnie Mandela's murderous thugs.
Given that we conservatives have long observed and criticized the murderous practices of the progressive left and its heroes, we know exactly what you meant.

The Apocalypse (ie American Apparel) is Upon Us
I was on my way to get an afternoon coffee with my colleague Megan when I noticed this strange sign posted. A jewelry store recently closed in Monti and this was posted on the metal serranda. My first thought…only in Italy would an advertisement to hire someone be as ridiculous and vague as this. Obviously it's meant to appeal to that fact that whatever is opening will be "fashionable." Then Megan pointed out the email address at the bottom and yes, it's actually an American Apparel opening in our beloved Monti. Why is this the apocalypse? This might be hard to understand without living here, but let's remember that this is not Paris, where you can find the GAP and a number of other large retailers (whether they are American or not). While it's ridiculous and frustrating at times, one of the great things about living in Italy is that even in the capital city the era of the mom and pop shop still thrives. I've come to appreciate the personal care and quality that you get at these places. These places are also what allows global individuality to thrive. And while I think Italy would benefit from opening up the market and being a bit more capitalistic, do I want it to become another America full of chain store and shopping malls? No! Don't get me wrong, I grew up in a small town where that's all we had and every time I go back home, Target is the first store I hit. Somehow here though, it just seems wrong. Plus, I really don't want to have to deal with all the "cool" people who will shop at this place.

Helix's Q1 Net Income Up to $74.3 Million
Helix Energy Solutions reported first quarter net income of $74.3 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, compared to $55.8 million, or $0.60 per diluted share reported for the first quarter of 2007.
Owen Kratz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Helix, stated, "A few months ago we laid our budget assumptions for 2008. I am pleased to report first quarter was a strong operating quarter for us. Services performed better than our budget assumptions and production rates as well as commodity prices exceeded our budget assumptions. We also executed the first of the budgeted production sales in this quarter with others progressing as planned. "
Financial Highlights
--Revenues: The $54.7 million increase in year-over-year first quarter revenues was driven by increases in revenue from both Oil and Gas production and Contracting Services due primarily to continued market demand in the deepwater and an increase in year-over-year commodity prices.
--Margins: Margins of 27% for the first quarter 2008 were 7 points lower than 34% in the first quarter of 2007 as Cal Dive experienced a seasonal margin decline, the Q4000 was out of service for upgrades, and we experienced a $14 million impairment at our Devil's Island field.
--Sale of Oil and Gas Interests: The Company sold 30% working interests in its Danny Noonan discoveries in two separate transactions for total cash consideration of approximately $165 million, an obligation of the purchaser to pay their 30% share of all related future capital expenditures and an obligation to pay up to an additional $20 million based on reaching production milestones. The first transaction for 20% closed March 31, 2008 and resulted in a gain of $61.1 million in the first quarter. The second transaction for 10% closed on April 23, 2008.
--SG&A: $47.8 million increased $17.2 million over the same period a year ago due primarily to increased overhead to support our growth (particularly Cal Dive) and severance relating to the resignation of our former CEO. Excluding the severance, this level of SG&A was 9% of first quarter revenues, compared to 8% in the year ago quarter.
--Equity in Earnings: $10.9 million is comprised of our share of earnings for the quarter relating to the Marco Polo facility and the Independence Hub facility.
--Income Tax Provision: The Company's effective tax rate for the quarter was 36.6%, compared to the 34% effective rate for last year's first quarter due primarily to provision of deferred taxes relating to Cal Dive's earnings.
--Balance Sheet: Total consolidated net debt as of March 31, 2008 was $1.7 billion. This includes $335 million outstanding under Cal Dive's term loan that was used to fund the cash portion of its acquisition of Horizon Offshore, which loan is non-recourse to Helix. Total consolidated net debt as of March 31, 2008 represents 46% net debt to book capitalization.

"We asked for an architect and they sent us a Barbie."
Chatham County Commissioner Helen Stone, who is trim and blonde, will never forget that remark.
It was made behind her back a decade ago, early in her stint on the Metropolitan Planning Commission, an appointed body she later chaired for four years.
It exemplified the sort of double standard that long has hindered women in politics.
"But that was 1996 and this is 2006," said Stone, elected to the county commission in 2004. "I don't find my gender to be a handicap or an advantage."
Others are less upbeat.
The numbers of women elected to various offices still lag far behind those of men, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. In Georgia, for example, only 43 of the 236 state legislators are women.
Yet many agree that, even if a "glass ceiling" still holds women down, it's moved up some. And it might rise even higher this year.
Bigger numbers, better attitudes
"Women have significantly increased their numbers among state government officials over the past several decades," said Susan J. Carroll, a senior scholar at the center.
Even in Georgia, where the number of female state lawmakers fell in the 2004 election, Secretary of State Cathy Cox is a strong candidate for governor.
At lower levels, said Charles Bullock, a University of Georgia political science professor, Georgia women have fared better.
Bullock said 72 percent of the clerks of courts, 67 percent of the tax commissioners, 54 percent of the probate judges and 33 percent of the school board members are women.
On the national level, U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., is considered a serious White House prospect.
Meanwhile, say those in and out of elective office, attitudes are changing.
State Sen. Regina Thomas, D-Savannah, has seen the shift since she was first elected to the House in 1994.
"When I first came here," Thomas said, "the attitude was, 'just sit down and be nice and go along with what the men tell you to do.'
"Now they listen to us. Not as much as I wish they would, but they do listen."
Changing attitudes and the election of more women seem to be mutually reinforcing trends.
"As more women are elected to office," Stone said, "more people notice that they can work as hard and be as well prepared as men."
And as that perception spreads, still more women are elected, said Chatham County Republican Chair Mary Flanders.
"They used to ask us to cook and bake," Flanders said. "Now they understand that we can be leaders."
Double standards persist
Stone insists that if a woman in politics "presents herself well, does her homework and asks intelligent questions, she will be taken seriously."
But Atlanta-based pollster and political strategist Beth Schapiro says women find it more difficult than men to be perceived as power players.
And the higher they seek to climb on the political ladder, the tougher it gets, said Schapiro.
"Women are perceived as people who are more likely to look for compromises," she said. "That's appropriate at the council, commission or legislative level.
"But women have to work harder to convince voters that they have executive leadership skills."
That could work against Cox this year - but may not because many people know she already heads a major state agency, Schapiro said.
Clinton faces a similar problem, she said.
"Many Americans have to stop and think about a woman as president because they are yet to be convinced that a woman is capable of leading us into war," Schapiro said.
Claire Giesen, executive director of the National Women's Political Caucus, says Clinton faces yet another roadblock - one that confronts some female business executives.
Many people, including some women, are offended by her assertiveness even though they are likely to admire similar traits in men, Giesen said.
"She is a catalyst for resentment and anger," Giesen said.
Schapiro says it's more complicated than that.
People's opinions about the senator "are hard to separate from the fact that she is the wife of Bill Clinton and the way they feel about the Clinton administration," she said.
Indeed, GOP chair Flanders said, the problem most people have with Sen. Clinton is her politics, not her gender; they find her too liberal.
Gender gap a two-edged sword
One thing that has not changed much in recent years is the so-called "gender gap."
At the presidential level, more women than men support the Democratic candidate; the difference - or "gap" - has been about 10 percentage points.
In Georgia, said Atlanta-based pollster and political consultant David E. Johnson, the gap is 8 to 10 percentage points.
Johnson and others say there's a disparity because men and women tend to see issues differently.
Women often gravitate toward Democratic policies on reproductive rights, pay equity, children's welfare and health programs.
Men tend to lean toward the GOP posture on issues such as national security, crime, taxes and economic development.
Schapiro attributes the gap mostly to single women; married women have a much weaker pro-Democratic tilt, she said.
Although people usually describe the gap as a liability for the GOP; there's a flip side, Johnson and Schapiro agree.
If the Republicans win an election, they say, it's fair to conclude they did so because the Democrats couldn't convince enough men to vote for them.
Still, female voters might pose problems this year for Georgia Republicans.
Schapiro said the state electorate is about 53 percent female and 47 percent male. And Johnson said his surveys indicate that women in the state are about 5 percent more likely than men to vote.
All that bodes well for Cox, said Giesen of the women's political caucus.
Political fallout
In any case, the gender gap has had practical political consequences in Georgia.
The female tilt toward Democrats goes hand-in-hand with another trend - most women elected to partisan offices are Democrats. For example, 32 of the state's 43 state female legislators bear the party's label.
Such lopsided lineups worked fine for women when the Democrats ran the legislature. Indeed, women were well poised to be considered for committee chairmanships - positions that command clout.
But all that changed after the GOP took over last year. For starters, there were fewer women to be considered for chairmanships - 43 in contrast to 51 the year before.
And, like the Democrats before them, the Republicans appointed mostly their own to chair committees. And that meant fewer women wielding gavels - four now as compared to 10 in 2003.
"Certainly it has had an impact on the power of women in the legislature," Schapiro said of the partisan shift.
Indeed, party often has long trumped gender at the Capitol.
Former state Rep. Anne Mueller of Savannah said she was a member of a tiny caucus - 27 Republicans out of 180 members - when first elected to the House in 1982.
"Some men treated me with respect and some didn't," she said, "But my party affiliation was a bigger obstacle to being taken seriously than my gender."
Similarly, Sen. Thomas and GOP Senate leaders agree, partisan considerations - not gender - led to her removal last year as a committee chairman.
2006: a banner year for women?
Carroll, the scholar at the Center for American Women and Politics, laments that the progress made in electing women in recent years seems to have leveled off.
The loss of momentum, she added, is more noticeable when it comes to state legislatures and statewide offices.
Carroll said stronger networks to recruit women to run and help them win are needed to make sure "that the achievements of the past are not lost."
But Giesen of the National Women's Political Caucus thinks the prospects for women candidates are bright this year.
"First of all," she said, "I think we have some very strong women candidates all across the country."
Giesen also sees a silver lining in the cloud of scandals that hang over Washington. She cited the convictions of corrupt lobbyists such as Jack Abramoff and bribe takers such as former U.S. Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif.
"There is huge discontent among people over ethics issues," she said. "They are in an anti-incumbent mood."
Women aren't necessarily more ethical than men, but many voters think women place a higher priority on ethical considerations, she added.
"So whenever ethical issues are a major factor in an election," Giesen said, "women have the upper hand."

The following excerpt from an article by Kenneth H Thomas Jr. may be of interest to Georgia researchers:
Anyone who enjoys gathering genealogical data and publishing books may be interested in the R. J. Taylor Jr. Foundation.
The foundation gives grants that cover the expense of publishing books containing genealogical records concerning residents of Georgia prior to 1851.
Taylor-funded books include transcriptions and/or abstracts of deeds as well as court, probate, newspaper, marriage, cemetery and other records. Taylor does not fund county, town, church or family history books.
The foundation works in conjunction with the Georgia Archives and the Georgia Genealogical Society to determine grant eligibility. Grant recipients provide manuscripts for publication and keep the finished books to sell.
The foundation also purchases books it funds and distributes them to more than 40 Georgia libraries and some major out-of-state genealogy collections. The majority of books on Georgia genealogy found in our state's libraries were funded by the Taylor Foundation.

|In the spirit of informed choice, Eats On Feets encourages full disclosure from every person who participates in sharing breastmilk.
Donors generally expect recipients to be happy to receive their breastmilk and will appreciate it if recipients value and respect her family time and her milk supply. The amount of milk a donor can supply will fluctuate depending on menstruation, changes in eating and drinking patterns, stress, etcetera. Recipients should not put pressure on donors to provide a set amount of milk, especially in long term arrangements.
Thanking a donor each time a donation is received is important, even when there is a long term arrangement. Honest communication regarding mutual needs is essential. Some donors may have a questionnaire and/or also request blood work. It is important to be open and honest with each other. Willingness to help defer the cost of pumping and storing supplies will always be appreciated. The details of milk sharing arrangements will differ from family to family and may be facilitated with the aid of a written agreement between the two parties.
Eats On Feets does not provide forms for contracts, nor official questionnaires.1 It is between the donor and recipient to arrange for this.
For full informed choice process, our network requires that offers and requests are made by individuals who are the legally or clinically responsible party.2 Siblings, children, grandparents, friends, doulas, breastfeeding counselors, nurses etc. are not legally nor clinically responsible. Legal guardians, donors, recipients, midwives, doctors, etc. are. The exception to this rule is when the third party adds direct contact information in their post in the form of a phone number, email address, FB profile or FB tag for the donor/recipient. This still allows for full informed choice process.
In this section:
1. Possible reasons to refrain from using donor milk.
2. Questions typically asked of recipients.
3. Screening donors.
4. Finding a donor.
5. After finding a donor.
6. Questions typically asked of donors.
7. Handling breastmilk (for recipients).
Further information can be found in 'Additional Information.'
Next: Is there any reason why someone should not request donor milk?
- The suggested questions we offer are typically asked of donors by milk banks. The are not meant to be used as an official Eats On Feets questionnaire. [↩]
- Someone licensed to provide independent health care [↩]

Is your sex life being affected due to the size of your penis? There is no reason to be concerned since there is several penis exercises that will help to enlarge your penis, assist with erectile dysfunction as well as improve hardness the natural way.
While you will discover plenty of healthy food for more powerful erections which you can eat an hour before having sex, there are penis exercises that can make it easier to increase your penile size. Boldsky has assembled six of the best penis exercises to enhance the size of your penis.
Through daily exercises, you will notice positive results in just a short period of time. At the same time, it will be possible to even discover plenty of miracles during the course of sex, which will absolutely make you happy and cause sex to be something you are looking forward to again. In addition, if you would like to increase your ability as a man, listed below is a few of the best penis exercises to increase the size of your penis.
Exercise 1 – Apply the Stroking Technique.
Gradually hold your penile and stroke it using a downward motion. On the other hand, tend not to hold it too tight while moving it up and down, since you could prevent blood flow when your grip is too tight. The main reason for this penis exercise to enhance size to ensure improved blood flow to your penis head.
Exercise 2 – Make use of Gestures.
Make use of the 'okay sign' hand gesture for the first penile exercise to enlarge the size. This process requires you to keep the male member within the okay sign, gradually hold your shaft and stretch it simultaneously. You have to pull it in various directions for around 7 minutes. Repeating this process once within two weeks can make you see the positive results.
Exercise 3 – Make use of Warm Towels.
While using a warm towel, begin draining all the hot water from it entirely and put it around your penis. The heat from the hot towel increases the blood circulation to the male organ which as a result works well for erectile dysfunction as well as helps to enlarge the penis size.
Exercise 4 – Use Your Thumb.
Among the best penis exercise to enhance hardness is by making use of the thumb. Your penis should be held at the tip while stretching it slowly and firmly in a downwards motion. Position your thumb at the base of your manhood as the other fingers support its shaft. This exercise should be done to improve hardness every 10 seconds before having sex.
Exercise 5 – The Perfect Stretch.
Begin by keeping your manhood at the lower part and carefully pull it in a downward motion. While stretching it softly, ensure that you maintain the stretch for at least 10-15 minutes. This penis exercise is great for penis enlargement as well as ensuring that the penis stays harder for longer.
Exercise 6 – Exercise During Erections.
This penis exercise to enhance size could possibly be somewhat challenging for you to perform as it should be done in the course of an erection. Begin by stretching it side to side, in several directions for at least 10 seconds. This should be done no less than twice weekly if you would like to see results. Note – make an effort to avoid premature ejaculation. This is certainly among the best penis exercises for erectile dysfunction.
If you do not have free time for regular exercise, we recommend water penis pump Penomet.

Having your air ducts cleaned regularly is key to making your home safer and more comfortable for you and your family. Since we breathe in around 10,000 liters of air a day, the quality of the air in our homes greatly affects our quality of life. So we mean business when we say that air-duct cleaning is a must. Air duct cleaning includes the general maintenance and washing of various heating and cooling system components, including the supply and return air ducts of your system. It's just a matter of time before HVAC components get contaminated with pollen, dust particles, mold (if moisture is present), and other debris. These can bring on allergy symptoms or cause certain discomfort in your home, so make air-duct cleaning a priority for the healthiest home possible. Benefits of Air Duct Cleaning Keeping your air ducts clean provides many benefits to you and your home, most notable being healthier indoor air quality. Dirty air can bog down your home, but a clean air-duct system provides a healthy environment while eliminating odors. Clean air ducts also provide increased energy efficiency. Contaminants in the air ducts can cause your heating and cooling system to work harder to run at its normal pace, shortening its lifespan. Clean HVAC systems use less energy so they save you money on your energy bill. Improved indoor air quality keeps your heating and cooling system free of corrosion and protects your HVAC investment. Why You Should Get Your Ducts Cleaned Cleaning your air ducts is one of the simplest ways to keep your home clean and healthy. Dust and other contaminants are circulated thorugh your air ducts five to seven times a day, which quickly builds up and can contribute to many different health problems. Some of the most common problems include eye and nose irritation, coughing, asthma, and especially allergic reactions. Breathing easy starts with having your air ducts cleaned. It's important to note that when air ducts are being cleaned, all components of the system should be completely inspected and cleaned, including cooling coils, fans, heat exchangers, registers, grilles, diffusers, and air ducts. Duct Sealing When having your air ducts cleaned, it's a good idea to have them sealed too. Having your ducts sealed closes any air leaks that may have occurred over years of work and can save you potentially hundreds of dollars and lots of energy. It's a great way to end home pollutant circulation once and for all. Ask a Sunbeam Service Experts professional to check for leaks when they clean your air ducts and let you know if duct sealing is right for you and your home. Live in comfort and never worry about polluted air again. Please note that Sunbeam Service Experts does not handle asbestos in our duct cleaning routines. The thing about air ducts is that "if they look dirty, they probably are." Call the professionals from Sunbeam Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning today at 716-427-6807 to book a cleaning appointment, complete with a full inspection for leaks and a guaranteed deep clean of your entire heating and cooling ventilation system.

Cheeky Dierks Bentley tweeted a revealing video about his inner psyche on Tuesday, March 22nd.
Bentley will co-host the 2016 ACM Awards on April 3rd with Luke Bryan, and apparently the responsibility has been getting to his head.

Drawing on the familiar trope of appearing naked in front of an audience, Bentley shared a video on Twitter, adding, "I've been having this reoccurring nightmare."
In the brief video, the country singer appears naked to welcome everyone to the 2016 ACM Awards. As Bentley looks throughout the audience and welcomes Merle Haggard, Jason Aldean, Garth Brooks and more, he grows increasingly concerned by their cold reactions to his "hellos." Little does he know, he stands before them in the nude.
