Car repair and maintenance can put a strain on both a senior�s budget and back. With some smart and simple preventive care, you can reduce automotive troubles down the line.
Tread and Tire Pressure
The last thing any senior needs is a blown out tire while driving. Avoid this dangerous scenario by checking the tread on your tires and the air pressure once a month. Tires with little or no tread and that are showing threads are unsafe and should be replaced immediately.� For the recommended air pressure for your tires, do not go by the numbers on the sidewall of the tires. Instead, refer to the owner�s manual or sticker on the driver�s side door. Not only does proper air pressure decrease the likelihood of a blowout, but it increases your car�s gas mileage, and gives your vehicle better traction.�
Change the Oil
The truth is that oil changes take time and money. However, if this task is not done routinely, then the overall health of your engine can be jeopardized.
When using conventional oil, it�s recommended to change the oil every 3,000 miles. However you can save yourself some work and better protect your investment by using high-quality synthetic motor oil instead. For example, Royal Purple HMX is specifically designed to minimize wear and tear and restore performance in engines with more than 75,000 miles. Instead of the typical oil change once every 3,000 miles, synthetic oil can reduce the frequency to once every 10,000 to 15,000 miles, or once every 12 months, depending on how much your vehicle is used.
For more information on how you can maximize your engine�s longevity and save money, visit www.RoyalPurpleConsumer.com.
Check Lights
Don�t be the one left in the dark. Regularly check your headlights, taillights, turning signals and brake lights. Thousands of accidents a year are the direct result of failed lights. Check your lights by asking a trusted neighbor, friend or family member to walk around your car as you turn the headlights, taillights and turning signals off and on. Also, apply light pressure to the brake to make sure your brake lights are working as well. If a light is out, check the fuses. An easy do-it-yourself replacement can save you time and money.
You don�t have to be a professional mechanic or overextend your budget to increase the lifetime of your car. Some simple proactive and regular care will go a long way in keeping you and your car together, far down the road.

Henry I, byname Henry Beauclerc ("Good Scholar"), French Henri Beauclerc, (born 1069, Selby, Yorkshire, England—died December 1, 1135, Lyons-la-Forêt, Normandy), youngest and ablest of William I the Conqueror's sons, who, as king of England (1100–35), strengthened the crown's executive powers and, like his father, also ruled Normandy (from 1106).
A good politician and administrator, Henry I was the ablest of the Conqueror's sons. At his coronation on Aug. 5, 1100, he issued a charter intended to win the support of the nation. This propaganda document, in which Henry promised to give…
Henry was crowned at Westminster on August 5, 1100, three days after his brother, King William II, William the Conqueror's second son, had been killed in a hunting accident. Duke Robert Curthose, the eldest of the three brothers, who by Norman custom had succeeded to his father's inheritance in Normandy, was returning from the First Crusade and could not assert his own claim to the English throne until the following year. The succession was precarious, however, because a number of wealthy Anglo-Norman barons supported Duke Robert, and Henry moved quickly to gain all the backing he could. He issued an ingenious Charter of Liberties, which purported to end capricious taxes, confiscations of church revenues, and other abuses of his predecessor. By his marriage with Matilda, a Scottish princess of the old Anglo-Saxon royal line, he established the foundations for peaceable relations with the Scots and support from the English. And he recalled St. Anselm, the scholarly archbishop of Canterbury whom his brother, William II, had banished.
When Robert Curthose finally invaded England in 1101, several of the greatest barons defected to him. But Henry, supported by a number of his barons, most of the Anglo-Saxons, and St. Anselm, worked out an amicable settlement with the invaders. Robert relinquished his claim to England, receiving in return Henry's own territories in Normandy and a large annuity.
Although a Crusading hero, Robert was a self-indulgent, vacillating ruler who allowed Normandy to slip into chaos. Norman churchmen who fled to England urged Henry to conquer and pacify the duchy and thus provided moral grounds for Henry's ambition to reunify his father's realm at his brother's expense. Paving his way with bribes to Norman barons and agreements with neighbouring princes, in 1106 Henry routed Robert's army at Tinchebrai in southwestern Normandy and captured Robert, holding him prisoner for life.
Between 1104 and 1106 Henry had been in the uncomfortable position of posing, in Normandy, as a champion of the church while fighting with his own archbishop of Canterbury. St. Anselm had returned from exile in 1100 dedicated to reforms of Pope Paschal II, which were designed to make the church independent of secular sovereigns. Following papal bans against lay lords investing churchmen with their lands and against churchmen rendering homage to laymen, Anselm refused to consecrate bishops whom Henry had invested and declined to do homage to Henry himself. Henry regarded bishoprics and abbeys not only as spiritual offices but as great sources of wealth. Since in many cases they owed the crown military services, he was anxious to maintain the feudal bond between the bishops and the crown.
Ultimately, the issues of ecclesiastical homage and lay investiture forced Anselm into a second exile. After numerous letters and threats between king, pope, and archbishop, a compromise was concluded shortly before the Battle of Tinchebrai and was ratified in London in 1107. Henry relinquished his right to invest churchmen while Anselm submitted on the question of homage. With the London settlement and the English victory at Tinchebrai, the Anglo-Norman state was reunified and at peace.
In the years following, Henry married his daughter Matilda (also called Maud) to Emperor Henry V of Germany and groomed his only legitimate son, William, as his successor. Henry's right to Normandy was challenged by William Clito, son of the captive Robert Curthose, and Henry was obliged to repel two major assaults against eastern Normandy by William Clito's supporters: Louis VI of France, Count Fulk of Anjou, and the restless Norman barons who detested Henry's ubiquitous officials and high taxes. By 1120, however, the barons had submitted, Henry's son had married into the Angevin house, and Louis VI—defeated in battle—had concluded a definitive peace.
The settlement was shattered in November 1120, when Henry's son perished in a shipwreck of the "White Ship," destroying Henry's succession plans. After Queen Matilda's death in 1118, he married Adelaide of Louvain in 1121, but this union proved childless. On Emperor Henry V's death in 1125, Henry summoned the empress Matilda back to England and made his barons do homage to her as his heir. In 1128 Matilda married Geoffrey Plantagenet, heir to the county of Anjou, and in 1133 she bore him her first son, the future king Henry II. When Henry I died at Lyons-la-Forêt in eastern Normandy, his favourite nephew, Stephen of Blois, disregarding Matilda's right of succession, seized the English throne. Matilda's subsequent invasion of England unleashed a bitter civil war that ended with King Stephen's death and Henry II's unopposed accession in 1154.
Henry I was a skillful, intelligent monarch who achieved peace in England, relative stability in Normandy, and notable administrative advances on both sides of the Channel. Under Henry, the Anglo-Norman state his father had created was reunited. Royal justices began making systematic tours of the English shires, but, although his administrative policies were highly efficient, they were not infrequently regarded as oppressive. His reign marked a significant advance from the informal, personal monarchy of former times toward the bureaucratized state that lay in the future. It also marked a shift from the wide-ranging imperialism of earlier Norman leaders to consolidation and internal development. In the generations before Henry's accession, Norman dukes, magnates, and adventurers had conquered southern Italy, Sicily, Antioch, and England. Henry won his major battles but preferred diplomacy or bribery to the risks of the battlefield. Subduing Normandy in 1106, he contented himself with keeping domestic peace, defending his Anglo-Norman state against rebellion and invasion, and making alliances with neighbouring princes.C.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The UCSB swim and dive teams cruised to a pair of dual meet victories in their home opener against UC San Diego. The men took down the Tritons, 170-128 while the women posted a 178-122 win.
The Gauchos got off to a very quick start winning the first four events of the day. They would go on to win 23 out of 32 total events with five Gauchos winning multiple events.
The UCSB men and women won all of the relays starting with the 200 medley relay. The women's team of Allie Knight, Sophia Yamauchi, Emma Hunt and Katie Tomkinson took first with a time of 1:46.53 while the men's relay of Josh Smith, Tim Freeman, Wade Allen and Alexander Campbell won with a time of 1:33.87.
Displaying dominance in the distance races was Andrew Barmann for the men, and Heren Alanis for the women. Barmann took first place in both the 1000 free (9:25.10) and 500 free (4:35.22) for the Gauchos. Alanis touched the wall first in the same events posting a time of 10:18.04 in the 1000 free and 4:58.90 in the 500 free.
"Those two were certainly outstanding," head coach Gregg Wilson said of Barmann and Alanis. "They both had really good times and it was a very good effort."
Other multiple winners for UCSB included junior Allie Knight who won the 200 backstroke (2:03.74) and the 200 IM (2:08.88) for the women. Also on the women's side, sophomore Carissa Metcalf took first in the 100 breaststroke (1:04.67) and 200 breaststroke (2:19.89). For the men, Wade Allen came away with victories in the 50 free (20.72) and 100 free (46.10).
Freshman Marissa Neel continues to impress for the Gauchos as she won the 100 backstroke with a time of 57.61. Other individual winners for the UCSB women included Yamauchi in the 100 butterfly (56.79), Andrea Ward in the 200 butterfly (2:04.03) and Katie Tomkinson in the 50 free (24.43).
For the men, UCSB freshman Josh Smith took home first place in the 100 backstroke (52.13). Tim Freeman won the 100 breaststroke (56.54) and Randy Aakhus came out on top in the 200 backstroke (1:52.10) in a race the Gauchos finished one-two-three. Andy Castilleja won the last individual race of the day in the 200 IM (1:54.51).
The Gauchos finished the day as strong as they began it winning each of the 200 free relays. The men's team of Campbell, Matt Bilello, Allen and Andrew Latimer edged out UCSB's 'B' relay by three tenths of a second to win with a time of 1:24.49. The women's relay of Yamauchi, Kimmie Kreuzberger, Mariah Tharp and Tomkinson won finishing in 1:36.23.
Quetzal Moreno came up huge for the Gauchos winning the women's three-meter diving competition with a score of 218.85. For the men, Sam Thomas-Pate came in fourth place in both the one-meter and three-meter events. The divers compete in the USC Invitational all day tomorrow.
"It was a pretty good test for us," coach Wilson said. "UC San Diego is coming off a great meet and so overall it was a very good test for our teams."
With the victories, the women are now 3-1 while the men improve to 1-1 in dual meets.
The Gaucho swim teams are back in action tomorrow, Nov. 3 when they take on Cal Poly at Campus Pool at 11:00 a.m.

The Lumia 1020 is Nokia's pride and joy when it comes to smartphone photography. The handset has launched in the US, but other markets are still looking to get their paws on the high-end device. While it's a niche Lumia handset, the Lumia 1020 is the most advanced Windows Phone available, and now we've learned that it will be launching in China this month - on August 15th to be exact.
If you're in the US, you can pick up the Lumia 1020 for $299 on contract, so what will Chinese consumers be expecting to fork out? According to ePrice, the Lumia 1020 will be made available in the market for 5,990 CNY (about $980) and will be carried by China Unicom. As for Europe, we'll have to wait for some time more until Nokia releases its latest flagship product.
If you haven't yet done so, be sure to check out our previous coverage, including an in-depth look at the camera.

ANZAC biscuits (recipe for coconut oat cookies)
Did you know that it's ANZAC Day today? ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The Department of Veterans' Affairs of the Australian Government explains the Anzac day and tradition in detail. This being a food blog, it suffices to say that apparently these eggless crispy oatcakes were the cookies sent by the Australian and New Zealand women to the soldiers on the frontline during the WWI. And they're lovely - at least their modern equivalent!
The original recipe uses golden syrup, but honey works as well. I actually find the flavour very appealing, similar to the Estonian honey cake, and the chewy-crispy texture went down a treat with my family.
About 20 cookies
125 g butter
2 Tbsp or 45 g golden syrup or runny honey
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
2 Tbsp water
150 g or 250 ml or 1 cup all-purpose flour
100 g rolled oats
60 g shredded coconut
150 g caster sugar
Line a large baking sheet (or two smaller ones) with a parchment paper. Heat the oven to 175 C/350 F.
Place butter and honey/syrup into a medium-sized saucepan, heat and stir until melted and combined.
Mix soda with water and pour into the saucepan. The mixture will sizzle and foam - this is exactly what should happen. Stir until combined and remove the saucepan from the heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, coconut and sugar. Pour in the butter-syrup-soda mixture and stir until combined.
Using your hands, roll the cookie mixture into golfball-sized balls. Place these on the baking tray, leaving plenty of room between the cookies. Press the cookie dough into thinner disks for especially crisp cookies (that's the way I like them).
Bake in a preheated 175 C oven for about 10 minutes or until cooked (the cookies will harden as they cool down; if you didn't pat the cookie dough down, they may need few more minutes in the oven).
Store in an air-tight cookie jar.

They are delicious. And store well in a tin. Still very popular today - we make them every month or so, especially for picnics.

I make these cookies, with margarine instead of butter, for a 5 year old girl who is severely allergic to eggs, dairy & nuts. They are her favourite. Last time I added small pieces of dried pineapple & papaya which added some colour to them. When we lived in America I called them 'Aussie Oatmeal Cookies'.
I find that it is easier to put all the dry ingredients in a bowl before melting the butter, or while waiting for the butter to melt.
Glad that you had sunshine on your birthday.

I have in the works a scrappy quilt made completely of Japanese scraps and linen. In my head this quilt is just the coolest thing I will ever make. I have slowly been collecting scraps.. ans I mean slowly. I wanted a huge variety but shipping from Japan is not a pretty sight. Lucky for me I found this cute shop that offers bags of cute scraps. The shop is called Beautiful Work on Etsy. I apologize ahead of time for the overload of cuteness if you click on their shop link.
I love love love everything thing I received, the best part was knowing what scraps I would get from the picture. I am always afraid of ordering from japan just randomly you know.
On another note, me and Sophia found this cute Alexander Henry remnant over at Joann's the other day. Stay tuned for what it will become!

Rwanda: Gains made against poverty, a lesson for others | Auke Lootsma
27 Feb 2012
Rwanda's latest data release this month shows enormous improvement in the living standards of citizens over the past five years, and progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) - eight internationally-agreed goals aimed at reducing poverty and improving education, health, gender equality and environmental sustainability by 2015.
Over the past half a decade, Rwanda has posted an average annual growth of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 8.4 percent, driven mainly by higher productivity in the agricultural and industrial sectors.
Critically, the poor have benefited from this growth spurt. Rwandans have developed their own homegrown initiatives in order to tackle poverty at the most local level. The "one-cow-per-family" programme, just to name one, provides families with milk for consumption and what is left over is sold for profit, improving nutrition and income at the household level.
Through government-led efforts the poverty rate fell from 56.7 percent in 2006 to 44.9 percent in 2011. If maintained over the longer term, this annual poverty reduction rate of 2.4 percent could put Rwanda in the company of Asian Tiger economies such as China, Vietnam and Thailand that have been able over many years to lift millions out of poverty while sustaining growth.
There has also been advancement in net primary school attendance - up from 86.6 percent in 2005-2006 to 91.7 percent in 2010-2011, and more people have access to safe drinking water - 74.2 percent of the population in 2010-2011 up from 64 percent in 2006.
Rwanda has also made progress on reducing maternal mortality, one of the worst performing MDGs globally, from 1071 deaths per year in 2000 to 487 in 2010-11.
A mix of political will and economic growth is helping drive Rwanda's success in alleviating poverty, despite challenges such as being landlocked and in a restive region, high population growth and density, and no natural resources.
The country's leadership has articulated a vision and cultivated a unity of purpose among government officials and the population at large that puts the nation's development first. This includes working on gender equality – Rwanda has the highest number of women in parliament at 56 percent - while tackling corruption and reducing bureaucracy has helped spur foreign investment.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is supporting the Rwandan Government with policy advice and technical assistance across several areas, including to the National Institute for Statistics that researched the recent data, to build their capacity to collect statistics for planning and policy making.

Pipe Cleaning
I also thoroughly enjoy the different ER setting that working in a small hospital provides when compared to the trauma center I have been a part of for fourteen years. People are more appreciative, it seems, and less demanding. People are respectful. There seems to be a more heartfelt connection between the small town folks and the ER staff versus the big city dwellers who demand everything on their terms with our trauma center staff. I have yet to be asked for a turkey sandwich, a warm blanket, an extra pillow, or internet access at the smaller facility.
It is, simply put, refreshing.
Still, I have a hard time drawing the line between how emergency medicine should be practiced in a small town versus a big city. Should there be a difference, even? I'm not sure if there should be. I like to think I extend myself and my staff quite well to each and every patient, whether I'm in Smalltown, USA, or the big city.
During my last round of ER shifts near Dad's, an energetic, spritely 80 y.o. woman came in complaining of constipation. By her tightly wound perm, I should have seen that she would be a hard patient to please. She typically had a bowel movement everyday. Unfortunately, the day before she came to see me, she had not had her typical movement. The next day, upset about skipping a day of evacuation, she came to our ER demanding to get an enema.
"Maam," I asked, after introductions, "do you have any abdominal pain?" "No," she answered. I continued. "Do you have any fever? Do you have any urinary complaints? Do you have any vaginal complaints? Do you have any nausea or vomiting?" To each question, she answered a resounding "no."
"Maam," I said, quite honestly, when I had finished a perfectly normal physical exam, "I am trying to figure out why you came to the ER if you otherwise feel alright. Did you call your family doctor about your constipation?"
"Why would I do that?" she asked, "they don't do enemas in the office. And I need an enema."
"Well, maam," I confessed, "I don't require our nurses to give enemas to people unless they medically need one. Without a fever, abdominal pain, or any other changes to your health, I don't even feel you need an enema for just skipping one day of your regular movements."
"You mean you aren't going to order me an enema?" she asked, incredulous. "Have you had an enema here before, maam?" I asked, curious as to why she was so focused on getting an enema. "No, I haven't," she said, "but I know lots of people who come here to get one when they need one."
While the patient went to the bathroom to "try to go again," I left her room to question the nursing staff about their enema practices. "Oh no, we don't do enemas unless we really have to," the nurses said, almost in unison. What other answer was I expecting? Of course, nobody in their right mind was going to volunteer to give an enema to a healthy, non-distressed patient.
The woman returned from the bathroom. "No luck," she said, smiling as if to say "so there," as she comfortably walked back to her room and easily jumped up into her cot. "Well," I said, "I think we have a plan for you, maam." I then explained how I approach constipation in the otherwise healthy patient. I explained that she needed to make sure she ate enough fiber in her diet and drank enough liquids. She needed to be physically active which, judging from her energy, wouldn't be a problem. We talked about her taking something to "keep her regular," from FiberCon to Metamucil to MiraLAX, as she needed.
Finally, I talked to her about the meat of her problem. "Maam," I said, "although I don't suggest it right now, if you feel you are constipated and want to aggressively treat it, then use a Fleet's enema. If you don't have relief in one hour, repeat it. And if that doesn't flush you out within four hours, drink a half bottle of magnesium citrate." I went over this twice, actually, as she nodded her head.
When I was done, she got quite snippy with me. "You mean I won't be getting an enema here in the ER today?" "No, maam," I said, "I'm sorry if you are disappointed with that, but I wouldn't make my staff give you an enema I'm not sure you even need."
"I'm not giving myself an enema," she yelled now, "I never did and I never will!"
I assured her that the instructions that come with Fleet's enemas are very good, including pictures of how to go about things. As a side note, if you want a good laugh sometime, spend the dollar on an enema to see the cartoon drawings in the instructional pamphlet.
Well, she wasn't buying what I was selling. "You mean my husband and nephew have been waiting in the waiting room for nothing? I came here for an enema and I am not happy I'm not getting one."
She then requested if home-nursing would come by her house to give her an enema. Having an important connection with the home-nursing team (my sister Chrissie is a nurse who heads that department), I called Chrissie to get her input. After reviewing the patient's complaints and exam, she mirrored my thoughts. "Does she even need an enema, Jim?" No, I assured her, she doesn't. "Then just have her follow up with her family doctor in a day or two and if she is not successful by that time, we can send someone out to help her. It would be hard to justify sending home nursing in at this time." I love my sister Chrissie, no bones or bullshit with her approach. Just like mine.
I went back in to the patient and explained my conversation with Chrissie to her. The patient was not happy. But she was healthy. Healthy and a little constipated.
After she left, threatening to go to a neighboring rural hospital an hour away where "I'll bet they'll give me an enema," the nurses gave me a round of applause. I felt kind of bad, actually, for having this patient leave disgruntled, without her enema.
"Thank you for separating an emergency enema from a non-emergency enema," said the charge nurse. I nodded my head to her as she continued. "You are the first doctor who ever said 'no' to that demand."
This whole incident got me to thinking. At the big trauma center, I would never have considered giving this patient an enema, no matter how much she thought she needed one. We are just too busy to not utilize our time more efficiently. In the small town, however, people seem to expect that extra "oomph" of kindness. But a line has to be drawn at some point. Incidental constipation without symptoms does not, in my book, demand an enema "just because" the patient is obsessing over her bowel movement patterns. Or because they happened to sign into an ER to be seen.
Something tells me this kind lady will not be baking me an apple pie as a thank-you. Which sucks, since I love apple pie. But at least, whether it's in a big city or a small town, I feel I treated the patient correctly.
As always, big thanks for reading. See you Friday...

New here. Don't even remember how I came across your blog.
What is it about 80+ year old folks and their bowel movements? My in-laws (whom I adore) feel perfectly free to discuss trips to the doctor and their bowel habits with just about anyone. I really, really hope to remember these days when (if) I'm 80. Sometimes one wonders if all they do is go from doctors visit to doctors visit.
I'm quite sure the truly needy patients in your small town ER appreciate what you did. Maybe one of them will bake you a pie. :)

As a 23 year old female with various health problems, I often try to fix myself before I see a doctor. Once I had gone for at least a week and a half without a bowel movement. I started drinking prune juice, and eating All-Bran cereal, and lots of fruits to see if that would help. After days of that not working, I went to the pharmacy and got a laxative. When that didn't help, I went to the walk-in clinic and had something prescribed to me. I think this is about the most reasonable way to solve this sort of problem.
At what age do we lose our common sense? (assuming that we have it in the first place)

When we were teens, my family lived next door to an older woman who would always ask my older sister to give her an enema because she "hadn't gone since yesterday". My sister *hated* to do it, and I'm not sure now why she didn't just say no, but we still laugh about it today. She was the Enema Lady. LOL
- September 15, 2010 at 6:22 PM
Ok. Seriously. WTF?!?!? Who does this?!?! Obviously this lady, but like, omg, I cant imagine ever asking for an enema!!! 6 months ago I needed to have a flexible Sigmoidoscopy, and I just about died of embarrasement when I was told I needed one. Never mind having to go to the pharmacy and by the fleet enema and the magnesium whatever. Oh, and the cartoon pic's of the fleet enema are hilarious, I laughed my but off when I read them. Then When I had to get a flexible sigmoidoscopy, I was dreading that day and almost died of embarassment. I couldnt imagine ASKING some stranger to stick some fluid up my butt to make me go poo just becuase I havent gone in one day!!! Pigs would fly before I would ever do that!!! I really hope that I am NEVER like that when I'm old....Good for you for sticking to your No. Funny Post!!! Thanks!!

I think the obsession in older people develops from a combination of cultural expectations and a rapidly decreasing number of things the person can control, along with a the realization that as one gets older and frailer, minor ailments can get serious fast.
I'm a much younger person with some health problems. They can take over one's life, and there have been weeks where I've gotten to the end of a day and realized that about all I managed to do was to get to a doctor or therapist or two, and I cannot deny that it can be disconcerting, starting on a week or two of narcotic or anti-cholinergic medication of some kinds and just *knowing* that there are going to be issues.
So, I'm sympathetic to the bowel obsession, but I still don't really want to hear about it nearly as often I do from some of my older clients!

How refreshing, a doc who cares more about medical necessity than "customer service". Well done.
Besides, there is a special place in hell for ER docs who order enemas in the ER.

"You are the first doctor who ever said 'no' to that demand."
As EDNurseasauras @September 16, 2010 6:18 PM pointed out, it's refreshing to have a doc who cares more about medical necessity than "customer service". As a nurse, I thank you for not making nurses do the medically unnecessary just to make client happy. Unfortunately, I have been guilty of administering the medically unnecessary as ordered by doctor(s), because "customer service" is NUMBER 1 in private hospitals. I know of an ER doctor who quit because his hospital's management put customer service/abuse above medical necessity and staff welfare.
Yes, if the lady insists on it, she should buy and enema and administer it herself (or ask her husband, or whoever). What a waste of medical resources, esp ER staff's time!
- September 18, 2010 at 6:37 AM
I did a google image search for fleets enema hoping to see the instruction sheet and oh my goodness I saw some things I really didn't need to see, LOL.
I am glad you didn't give in to the patient's unreasonable demands.
- September 18, 2010 at 10:18 PM
Ewwwwwwww! I can't imagine going to the ED for an enema, let alone self-administering one at home. There are so many more pleasant ways to relieve constipation, which don't include Fleet Phospho Soda or mag citrate, two of the vilest substances known to man. (Colonoscopy prep is just plain nasty.)
Regularity was quite the thing when I was a kid. My late mother used to feed my sisters and me prune juice if we had not had a BM that morning. After my father passed away, all of us gleefully recycled the prune juice bottles my mom had kept all those years. Needless to say, none of us eat prunes!
Search WhiteCoat's blog, and you will find a recipe for a raisin-date-senna leaf bar he used to prescribe to cancer pts on opioids. Granny Enema could probably use half a pan daily, as she sounds as though she may be full of feces, regardless of whether she has a daily BM.
- September 19, 2010 at 10:05 AM
You know, there are foods from select resturants that would solve her problem in a matter of hours...
- September 20, 2010 at 6:07 PM
unfortunately another perspective for this story is that there are people in emergency need of enemas when medical "professionals" refuse to administer them. not quite as funny.

The race to get next-generation wireless broadband in the hands of US consumers can be viewed as a competition between Sprint and everybody else. Through a partnership with Clearwire, Sprint has backed the WiMAX standard, and is hoping to get a 4G first-mover advantage by rolling out its system ahead of the competition, which won't be deploying equipment based on Long-Term Evolution hardware for another year. But Sprint/Clearwire's plans may have run into a major speed bump, as a company called ADAPTIX (which offers WiMAX hardware) has sued the duo for patent violations, and is seeking an injunction against further violations.
The suit focuses on six patents granted to ADAPTIX, all of which appear to focus on the allocation of bandwidth within a single frequency range to multiple users. WiMAX relies on IEEE 802.16e, or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), to divide up the bandwidth (there's a good overview of the technology available) so that multiple users can get simultaneous, high-speed connections. In short, OFDMA divides the frequency range into channels, and then allocates time slices of the channel to individual users, allowing hardware to stuff a lot of data through the wireless pipes, even during periods of high loads.
ADAPTIX offers WiMAX hardware, both in the form of rack-mounted hardware and in something more akin to a WiFi base station; the company apparently also makes the operating system that runs this hardware. These devices are apparently intended for deployment by business that want to provide their own local wireless data access, rather than relying on national carriers—the mobile equipment lets employees take their access on the road with them, assuming they have some place to plug their access point in.
A quick look at any of the company's web pages for this equipment will reveal a list of about a dozen patents that cover the operating details of this hardware; most of these appear in the lawsuit, as well. The suit, filed in the patent-litigation paradise of the United States District Court for the Eastern District Of Texas, is pretty standard legal fare. After establishing that all three companies do business in Texas, it alleges irreparable harm caused by the violation of six patents by Sprint/Clearwire. ADAPTIX wants a jury trial, triple damages due to the "willful" nature of the violations, and a permanent injunction against further violations.
It's impossible to evaluate the validity of these claims, since nobody outside of Clearwire and their suppliers is fully aware of precisely how their hardware and software stack operate. So far, neither it nor Sprint have commented on the suit.
There is the risk that, should the request for an injunction be granted, even temporarily, that Clearwire's attempts to gain a first-mover advantage when it comes to next-generation wireless broadband will be derailed, as LTE appears to be only a year or so behind, and will have the backing of several major wireless carriers, giving it the potential for significant economies of scale. Of course, LTE may face some legal issues of its own; Unstrung quotes ADAPTIX as hinting its intellectual property may cover aspects of that protocol, too.

By Mike Lehman, TTU Sports Information Coordinator
HEBRON, Ky. - Head coach Polk Brown said he was looking forward to seeing how the Tennessee Tech men's golf team would rebound from last week's finish at the Miller Memorial Invitational. It's safe to assume he's happy with the results so far.
Off the power of huge first rounds from sophomore Mitch Thomas (first place) and junior Lee Whitehead (tied for second), the Golden Eagles sit atop the leaderboard after 18 holes at the Bearcat Invitational hosted by Cincinnati.
Depsite a late start to the day (the shotgun was rescheduled for 10:30 a.m. CDT due to impending weather), Tech came out blistering hot through the event's first round, totaling a season-low round of 284 to lead 16 other teams, including five from the Ohio Valley Conference. In that group are last year's OVC champion (Austin Peay) as well two teams from Cincinnati.
For the second straight week, Thomas started hot right out of the gate, carding a season-low 68 on the 7,100 yard, par-72 Traditions Golf Club. The score, which is the second-lowest of any Golden Eagle on the year, was good enough to place the sophomore in first place overall, his highest ranking of his Tech career.
The success of Round One was far from an individual effort, however, as Whitehead finished right behind Thomas. The wiley veteran cruised through the opening round, scoring an impressive 3-under 69 to tie for second with APSU's Anthony Bradley, an NCAA Championship qualifier last year.
Not to be forgotten, sophomore Bryce Kendrick also posted a sub-par (far from subpar) score in the first day of action. After a 1-under 72, Kendrick is tied for ninth place.
Junior Mason Griffin and sophomore Adam Cunningham rounded out the scoring for the Golden Eagles, carding 75 and 78, respectively.
Play continued after the first 18 holes of the day, as the teams pushed to get through as much of Round Two as possible before darkness set in. The second round will resume Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. with Round Three to follow immediately after.

- Sahara Jones wants to be a writer. She is embarrassed by the time she spent in special education and having to repeat fifth grade. Because she is afraid of what others will think, Sahara hides her writing. Her new teacher Miss Pointy encourages everyone in the class to keep a journal. Miss Pointy keeps the fifth grade in line and encourages the students to think differently. The fifth grade class becomes a community in a way Sahara never experienced at school before. With the support of Miss Pointy and her classmates, Sahara just might be able to believe in herself.
- Greg Kenton loved money, and he was good at earning it and saving it. One day near the end of fifth grade, Greg made a big discovery. All the kids at school carried quarters with them: quarters for ice cream and cookies in the cafeteria, quarters for sparkly pencils at the school store, quarters for the juice machine. When he multiplied all those quarters by all those kids, Greg realized just how much money could be made at school. Greg worked hard to start his own comic book business. As soon as it was up and running, Greg had competition. Maura Shaw, his rival from across the street, started selling a comic book of her own. Would there be enough quarters in school for both of them to make money? And more importantly, how long could the comic book business continue before the principal gets involved?

'Dramatic deterioration' in Ariel Sharon's condition
Family and friends gather at bedside of comatose former prime minister, who has been in critical condition since last week
Ariel Sharon's condition "dramatically deteriorated" late Thursday afternoon, hospital officials said. The former prime minister now suffers from kidney failure and blood infection, and is in "immediate, life-threatening critical condition," they said.
Sharon, 85, has been in a coma since suffering a debilitating stroke in 2006. His condition, long stable, took a turn for the worse last week and doctors at Sheba Medical Center, at Tel Hashomer near Tel Aviv, have been issuing intermittent updates detailing his deteriorating condition.
Hospital director Zeev Rotstein said earlier in the week that "if we don't see a change on the scale of a miracle, his situation will continue to get worse each day."
On Sunday, Rotstein said Sharon's heartbeat and blood pressure were "good," and reiterated that assessment on Monday. An infection in his bloodstream was also being kept under control with antibiotics, he said.
"We knew he had a good heart, and now we know he has a strong heart," he said, but added that Sharon's life was still in "immediate danger" and there was no cause for optimism.
Sharon is "a true lion" who "continues to fight for his life," the hospital director added Sunday.
His family remained at his bedside, the hospital said, and former soldiers who fought alongside him were among the well-wishers visiting.
"People come throughout the day, to talk, to support his sons at this difficult hour," Rotstein said Monday.
Doctors said Sharon was suffering from renal failure that could lead to multiple organ system failure and death. Sharon has been hospitalized at Sheba for seven years.
The hospital director said last week that while Sharon's condition had "seen ups and downs" in the past two-and-a-half months, his life was now in danger.
"The danger [to Sharon's life] exists, [but] as we know, Arik [Sharon] is a powerful man and has survived difficult situations during his time in our hospital," he continued. "I'm no prophet, but the feeling among the doctors treating him and the family by his side… is that he has taken a turn for the worse."
Rotstein added that Sharon wasn't receiving dialysis treatment for his kidney collapse, as it was not recommended for a patient with multiple organ failure. He said the ex-prime minister had received antibiotic treatment in recent weeks for infections that caused his condition to deteriorate.
"He is receiving all the treatments that a patient in his condition should receive," he said.
In September, doctors reinstalled a feeding tube in Sharon's digestive system. The procedure was completed without incident, and the former prime minister was returned to the hospital's Department of Respiratory Care and Rehabilitation, where he has been in treatment in recent years.
Sharon is one of Israel's most iconic and controversial figures. As one of Israel's most famous generals, Sharon was known for bold tactics and an occasional refusal to obey orders. As a politician he became known as "The Bulldozer," a man contemptuous of his critics while also capable of getting things done.
As defense minister, he led Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, and was forced to resign the post after a commission of inquiry found him responsible for failing to prevent the massacre by Christian Phalangists of Palestinian refugees in Beirut's Sabra and Shatila camps.
A prominent hard-line voice over the decades, he was elected prime minister in 2001.
In mid-2005, he directed a unilateral withdrawal of Israeli troops and settlers from the Gaza Strip, ending a 38-year military control of the territory. It was a shocking turnaround for a man who had been a leading player in building Jewish settlements in captured territories.
He bolted the Likud party soon after and established the centrist Kadima party, where he was joined by Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni. He appeared on his way to an easy reelection when he suffered a severe stroke in January 2006. His deputy, Olmert, took over and was elected prime minister a few months later.
Sharon had a first, small stroke in December 2005 and was put on blood thinners before experiencing a severe brain hemorrhage on January 4, 2006. After spending months in the Jerusalem hospital where he was initially treated, Sharon was transferred to the long-term care facility at Tel Hashomer Hospital. He was taken home briefly at one point, but was returned to the hospital, where he has been since.

RTC Enterprise Extensions has the ability to tag load modules with a timestamp when they were created using the SSI. In the translator for the link edit use the SSI(@{ssi_info}) option to tell RTC to put the timestamp into the SSI.
Once the load module members are created the SSI will contain a hex representation of the timestamp.
If you want to quickly know when a load module was created but have lost your AMBLIST JCL you can easily check the timestamp in the SSI. Cut out the 8 character hex value and past it into your calculator in hex mode and then convert to decimal. This will give you the timestamp in Unix Epoch format, that is the number of seconds elapsed since the 1st January 1970. You can now cut that value and using a website that converts Unix Epoch timestamps such as http://www.epochconverter.com/, paste the value into the entry field and it will tell you the date the load module was created.

An esophagectomy is surgery to remove part or all of the esophagus. This is the tube that moves food from your throat to your stomach. After it is removed, the esophagus is rebuilt from part of your stomach or part of your large intestine.
Most of the time, esophagectomy is done to treat
Alternative Names
Trans-hiatal esophagectomy; Trans-thoracic esophagectomy; En bloc esophagectomy; Removal of the esophagus – open; Ivor-Lewis operation
There are many ways to do this surgery. Talk with your doctor about which type of surgery is best for you. It will depend on where in your esophagus the cancer is, how much it has spread, and how healthy you are.
Open surgery is another way to do an esophagectomy. Two ways to do an esophagectomy using open surgery are:
Trans-hiatal esophagectomy:
- The surgeon will make two large cuts, one in your neck area and one in your upper belly.
- The surgeon will close off one part of your stomach with staples and cut this section off. This part of your stomach will be used to form a new tube to replace the part of your esophagus that is removed.
- The surgeon will remove the part of your esophagus where the cancer or other problems are.
- The surgeon will join together your rebuilt esophagus and stomach in your neck.
- Lymph nodes in your neck and chest may also be removed if cancer has spread to them.
- The surgeon will place a feeding tube in your small intestine so that you can be fed while you are recovering from the surgery.
Trans-thoracic esophagectomy:
- The surgeon will make two cuts, one in your right chest and one in your upper belly.
- The surgeon will close off one part of your stomach with staples and cut this section off. This part of your stomach will be used to form a new tube to replace the part of your esophagus that is cut out.
- The surgeon will remove the part of your esophagus where the cancer or other problems are.
- The surgeon will join together your rebuilt esophagus and stomach in your neck or chest.
- Lymph nodes in your neck and chest may also be removed if cancer has spread to them.
- The surgeon will place a feeding tube in your small intestine so that you can be fed while you are recovering from the surgery.
The surgeon may also examine and do a biopsy of the lymph nodes in your belly to see if the cancer has spread to them.
En bloc esophagectomy is another type of esophagectomy. It is the most invasive of these procedures.
- To do it, the surgeon will make large cuts in your neck, chest, and belly. All of your esophagus and part of your stomach will be removed.
- The rest of your stomach will be reshaped into a tube and placed in your chest to replace your esophagus. The stomach tube will be connected to the remnant of the esophagus in the neck.
- The surgeon will also remove all lymph nodes in your chest and belly.
Most of these operations take about 3 to 6 hours.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
The most common reason for removing part, or all, of your esophagus is to treat cancer. You may also have radiation therapy or chemotherapy before or after surgery.
Surgery to remove the lower part of your esophagus may also be done to treat:
- A condition in which the ring of muscle in the esophagus does not work well (
- Severe damage of the lining of the esophagus that can lead to cancer (
Barrett esophagus)
- Severe trauma
Esophagectomy is major surgery and has many possible risks. Some of them are serious. You should discuss these risks with your surgeon.
Risks of this surgery, or for problems after surgery, may be greater than normal if:
- You are unable to walk, even for short distances (this increases the risk of blood clots, lung problems, and pressure sores)
- You are still growing
- You are older than 60 – 65
- You are a heavy smoker
- You are obese
- You have lost a lot of weight from your cancer
- You are on corticosteroids
Risks of any anesthesia are:
- Allergic reactions to medicines
Breathing problems
Risks of any surgery are:
Blood clotsin the legs that may travel to the lungs
Blood loss
Heart attackor strokeduring surgery
- Infection, including in the surgical wound, lungs (pneumonia), bladder, or kidney
Risks of this surgery are:
- Acid reflux
- Injury to the stomach, intestines, lungs, or other organs during surgery
- Leakage of the contents of your esophagus or stomach where the surgeon joined them together
- Narrowing of the connection between your stomach and esophagus
Before the Procedure
You will have many doctor visits and medical tests before you have surgery. Some of these are:
- A complete physical examination
- Visits with your doctor to make sure other medical problems you may have, such as
diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart or lung problems are under control
- Nutritional counseling
- A visit or class to learn what happens during surgery, what you should expect afterward, and what risks or problems may occur afterward
- If you have recently lost weight, your doctor may put you on IV nutrition for several weeks before surgery
If you are a smoker, you should stop smoking several weeks before surgery. Your doctor or nurse can help.
Tell your doctor or nurse:
- If you are or might be pregnant
- What medicines, vitamins, and other supplements you are taking, even ones you bought without a prescription
- If you have been drinking a lot of alcohol, more than 1 or 2 drinks a day
During the week before surgery:
- You may be asked to stop taking medicines that make it hard for your blood to clot. Some of these are aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), vitamin E, warfarin (Coumadin), and clopidogrel (Plavix), or ticlopidine (Ticlid).
- Ask your doctor which medicines you should still take on the day of surgery.
- Prepare your home for after surgery.
On the day of surgery:
- Do not eat or drink anything after the midnight before surgery.
- Take the medicines your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
- Arrive at the hospital on time.
After the Procedure
Most people stay in the hospital for 7 to 14 days after an esophagectomy. How long you stay will depend on what type of surgery you had. You may spend 1 to 3 days in the intensive care unit (ICU) right after surgery.
You will stay in the hospital for 10 to 14 days after en bloc esophagectomy
During your hospital stay, you will:
- Be asked to sit on the side of your bed and walk on the same day you had surgery
- Not be able to eat for at least the first 2 to 3 days after surgery. After that, you will start with liquids. You will be fed through a feeding tube that goes into your intestine.
- Have a tube coming out of the side of your chest to drain fluids that build up
- Wear
special stockingson your feet and legs to prevent blood clots
- Receive shots to prevent blood clots
- Receive pain medicine through an IV or take pills. You may receive your pain medicine through a special pump. With this pump, you press a button to deliver pain medicine when you need it. This allows you to control the amount of pain medicine you get.
- Do breathing exercises to prevent lung infection.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Many people recover well from this surgery and can eat a fairly normal diet after they recover. Talk with your doctor about the best way to treat cancer.

I'm working on a web-application that uses a RESTful store based on this example to render a restful grid.
Everything works fines, but now I have to implement a re-order action on a subset of records. I didn't find a better way to implement this action than to just remove the affected records from the store and than inserting them again in the right order. The problem with this approach is that all the remove/insert actions on the store result in a bunch of DELETE/PUT requests to the server, which is not what I had in mind since it seems like a bit of overkill, but there may be no other way?
I've tried to put store.suspendEvents() - store.resumeEvents() around the re-order code, which does suppress the DELETE/PUT requests to the server, but then my Grid is out of sync (records are still in the previous order). Is there a way to force the Grid to synchronize its state with the store?
Thanks in advance!

On both coasts, it could be a mad finish in the AL
With the East and West very much undecided and six non-division leaders also in the mathematical mix for a Wild Card spot, the American League still provides plenty of small-market spunk, divisional intrigue and, above all else, unanswered questions.
Even at this late stage, every game involving an AL team on Tuesday's slate has some sort of significance in the October outlook.
With the East and West very much undecided and six non-division leaders also in the mathematical mix for a Wild Card spot, the American League still provides plenty of small-market spunk, divisional intrigue and, above all else, unanswered questions.
Even at this late stage, every game involving an AL team on Tuesday's slate has some sort of significance in the October outlook.
While the five teams currently holding a playoff position -- the Tigers, Red Sox, Rangers, Rays and A's -- are all given at least a 80.5-percent chance of nailing down their spot in Baseball Prospectus' latest postseason odds report, four others -- the Orioles, Indians, Royals and Yankees -- combine for a 47-percent chance of spoiling the leaders' parties.
Preseason expectations have already been blown away by the surprising irrelevance of the Angels and Blue Jays. They've also been affirmed by the Tigers' seeming stranglehold on the AL Central.
What we're left with are division clashes on both coasts that are likely to come down to the wire, as well as a couple of likely runners-up in the Central looking to join the long list of Wild Card-era clubs that have reached the postseason a year after finishing with a losing record.
Here's a rundown of the nine still in the mix, with BP's postseason odds percentage in parentheses:
1. Tigers (99.1)
Have they underachieved? Well, maybe a little, but it's hard to find much fault with the bottom line. Despite down years from both Justin Verlander and Prince Fielder, the Tigers possess perhaps the most fearsome lineup/rotation combination in the game, and they've improved what had been a bumbling bullpen early in the year. They made their statement in the Central by taking three of five from Kansas City last weekend and sweeping a four-game set against the Tribe the week before. All that remains, at surface level, is to decide whether to start Cy Young favorite Max Scherzer or the more veteran Verlander in Game 1 of the Division Series. BP gives the Tigers a 24.6-percent chance of winning the World Series, by far the best in baseball.
2. Red Sox (92.3)
It's a bit of a stretch to call the Red Sox an underdog squad, given their enviable resources, but it's certainly remarkable how quickly Ben Cherington, John Farrell and Co. turned things around after the nightmare that was 2012. What looked to be a rebuilding year has instead been a resplendent one, even as the Red Sox have endured an assortment of injuries to their pitching staff, most notably to top starter Clay Buchholz. With Buchholz due back soon, the Red Sox hope to be at full strength for the final flourish in the East. They've got 13 straight against the Yankees, Rays and Orioles from Sept. 5-19, and that stretch could very well determine the division. BP gives the Red Sox a 55.3-percent chance of winning the East for the first time since 2007.
3. Rays (90.6)
All payroll and stadium issues aside, it's a stretch to call the Rays underdogs, simply because they've been doing so well for so long. The Rays rode the return of David Price from the disabled list and the robust rookie output of Wil Myers and Chris Archer to the best record in baseball during a stretch from June 23-July 30. That allowed them to climb back into relevance in the East. They've been up and down in August, and they could really use a healthy return from Matt Moore to help them in the final push. But the Rays are given a 41.3-percent shot at winning the East, so their Sept. 10-12 meeting with Boston looms large.
4. Rangers (90.4)
The Rangers have led the West by as many as seven games this season, but they've simply never been able to put away the A's. The loss of Nelson Cruz to suspension forced the Rangers to bring in Alex Rios for offensive support after landing Matt Garza to amp up the rotation. Add in the absences of Josh Hamilton, Colby Lewis and Matt Harrison, and this is a dramatically different club than the ones that reached the World Series in 2010 and '11. But the Rangers can still get back to that stage, particularly if they take advantage of their current stretch in which 27 of 30 games are against clubs with losing records. Though the West has been nip-and-tuck, BP is giving Texas a 63.8-percent chance of locking it up.
5. A's (80.5)
Having to place staff ace Bartolo Colon on the disabled list earlier this week was a blow, but the A's have shown unusual unflappability in the face of such blows the past two seasons. Last year, Brett Anderson emerged from the DL to be a force down the stretch, and Anderson might repeat the role this year. The A's will have some difficult rotation decisions to make in the coming weeks, particularly with how they handle rookie Sonny Gray's innings. One way or another, though, this A's team, led by a breakout season by Josh Donaldson, has put itself in good position to return to October, and they've got six games remaining against the Rangers in September to state their case.
6. Indians (21.3)
The Indians made a lot of noise last winter with the hiring of manager Terry Francona and the signings of Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn, but there was simply no telling what kind of noise they'd make in the season proper. Swisher has had a tough year as part of an inconsistent offense and the Indians have been unable to tame the Tigers, against whom they are 3-13, but the Tribe has used a better-than-advertised starting staff and strong bench to take advantage of the softer parts of their schedule and remain a Wild Card factor. They'll have to survive a nine-game stretch against the Braves, Tigers and Orioles from Aug. 27-Sept. 4 to remain a factor.
7. Orioles (17.4)
Having just begun, on Monday, a 15-game stretch against fellow East and/or Wild Card competitors in the Rays, A's, Red Sox, Yankees and Indians, this is prime time for the O's to assert themselves. Their 2013 season has featured the expected regression in one-run victories after last year's magic, but the biggest regression has been the performance of closer Jim Johnson, whose nine blown saves lead all of baseball. That's undoubtedly affected the bottom line, and the O's have had to be adaptable in using 14 different starting pitchers. Despite all that difficulty, Buck Showalter once again has this club in position for a playoff push.
8. Yankees (4.8)
It looked awfully dire for the Yanks when they lost 13 of their first 20 out of the All-Star break, but, buoyed by the addition of Alfonso Soriano and the better-than-expected play of Alex Rodriguez, they've retained relevance by winning six of their last eight. Fact is, the odds are still stacked high against the Yankees in a season in which their aging roster caught up to them in a big way. But they still have a pulse. And if they reach the postseason in a year in which Travis Hafner and Vernon Wells were their primary Nos. 4 and 5 hitters for months, then just hand Joe Girardi the AL Manager of the Year trophy.
9. Royals (3.5)
The Royals were 22-30 at the end of May, and that poor start is still likely to undermine their efforts. But Kansas City's aggressive bid to improve the rotation last winter has paid off handsomely, as James Shields and Ervin Santana now lead one of the better starting staffs in the league. The offense has largely struggled, but it has taken better advantage of the sterling starting in the second half to lift the Royals into contention. They're about to play 16 games against sub-.500 clubs in a 17-game stretch, so watch closely. Would the baseball gods allow both the Royals and Pirates to make the playoffs in the same year? Stranger things have happened. Not much stranger, but stranger.

Marguerite Mary Herken, 101, of The Villages, Florida, passed away peacefully on March 16, 2013.
Marguerite Mary Herken, 101, of The Villages, Florida, passed away peacefully on March 16, 2013. She was the only daughter of Earl Goff and Caroline Nieman Goff, of Leavenworth, Kansas. A brother, Earl Jr.-"Corky"-died in 1994.
Marguerite was born in Potter, Kansas, and grew up a child of the Great Depression. (She liked to tell the story of how men would come to a relative's house and ask for a drink-and recalled their puzzled expression when she handed them a glass of water. The relative was making bathtub gin during Prohibition.) After graduating from Potter High School, Marguerite attended a two-year college and worked, briefly, as a retail sales clerk in Kansas City before discovering her real passion-teaching. Her students at Oak Hill Elementary, near Easton, Kansas, remember Marguerite as a committed and caring teacher-one who believed in the Biblical injunction that "the quality of mercy is not strained."
In 1939, she married attorney Bernard "Si" Herken of Easton, Kansas. Si was then serving as Treasurer of Leavenworth County. The following year, a daughter, Dorothy "Dee" Herken, was born. During the Second World War, Marguerite and Dee following Si around the country to various Army postings, finally settling in San Pablo, California, where Bernard worked at the Permanente Metals Corporation in nearby Richmond, building Liberty ships for the war effort, and Marguerite became a secretary at the local school district. In 1947, a son, Gregory, was born. Shortly afterward, the family moved to the Denver area, where Si took a job as a lawyer with the Veterans Administration.
In 1956, Bernard, Marguerite, Dee, and Gregg moved back to the Bay Area, when Si was transferred to the VA's San Francisco office. During the next twenty-some years, Marguerite continued her work as a secretary to the principal at Elementary and Middle schools throughout San Mateo Country. While living in California, Marguerite and Si enjoyed taking classes in ballroom dancing at Arthur Murray Studios. In retirement, Marguerite became an accomplished seamstress-making clothes for her family and friends-and took up a new hobby, which she enjoyed with daughter Dee: Texas-style line dancing.
In 1988, Si, Marguerite and Dee moved to Pine Lakes, a retirement community near Ft. Myers, Florida. Following Bernard's death in 1990, mother and daughter relocated to The Villages, near Orlando, where they would reside for the next two decades. Active even into her nineties, Marguerite continued to live independently-enjoying visits to her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson in Alexandria, Virginia and Santa Cruz, California-and driving her golf cart with Dee around The Villages.
A devoted and selfless mother, loving wife, and loyal friend, Marguerite is remembered fondly by all those whose lives she touched-including former students at Oak Hill Elementary, some now in their nineties. She is survived by daughter Dorothy, son Gregg, and grandson Benjamin Herken. At Marguerite's request, her ashes will be interned alongside her husband's casket at Royal Palm Cemetery in Punta Gorda, Florida. An informal gathering of family and friends to remember her life will be held in early April, 2013, at Beyers Funeral Home in Lady Lake, Florida. Online condolences may be left for the family at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Admiral Blackdog wrote:Lord Admiral, I have consulted with my officers and decided to strike at the T.L.A. They are currently no threat to our Empire, but they have declared their allegiance to that ragtag bunch of lesser nations calling themselves the "anti-Immortals", and if we move now we can destroy them and take their newly claimed world before they have a chance to entrench. If we succeed in taking At zero hours this day, our fleet began action against T.L.A. spacecraft in orbit, and by noon we were ready to land ground troops.
Admiral Blackdog's fleet emerges in orbit around the T.L.A.'s new home. Most of the T.L.A. fleet is destroyed instantly; only a few ships escape into deep space or around the far side of the world.
On the bridge of the Conqueror, Admiral Blackdog's land flagship, Blackdog consults with one of his officers.
"Admiral, the T.L.A. capital has fallen and their forces are in retreat on all fronts. Our boys are giving them a sound thrashing, by the looks of it."
"Excellent. What of their leader, this... President Bob the Unbuilder?"
"Our intelligence says that he escaped their capital aboard a small hover transport. This ship is too slow to pursue them, so we're sending the Challenger to intercept."
"Smashing good work. Is there time for me to board? He may be protected by their best troops -- I wish to see how they perform in combat."
"Certainly, sir."
Minutes later, the Challenger, with Blackdog and two Marine swordsmen aboard, is in hot pursuit of the Speedy Hovering Infantry Transport carrying President Bob the Unbuilder and his guard troops.
Ahead of them, the flat, beige desert is broken up by an oasis containing some ancient ruins.
"Why the hell are we still running?" President Bob the Unbuilder demands.
"Mister President, they've got twice our firepower. I don't think we can take them head on --"
"Fuck yes we can! Turn this thing around!" He starts up his chainsaws in a manner more threatening to the S.H.I.T.'s crew than to their enemies.
The driver makes a right turn, hoping to hide behind the terrain, but miscalculates and leaves himself exposed...
The Challenger fires its starboard side rocket-torpedoes at the S.H.I.T.
Fortunately, they miss.
The Steam Gatling fires, but misses as well.
Admiral Blackdog lines up a shot with his sniper rifle...
... which goes through two of the T.L.A. guard troops.
The S.H.I.T. gets turned all the way around and charges at the Challenger, but its weapons cannot pierce the landship's hull.
The last remaining jump trooper lifts off and fires on the landship's occupants, but misses.
The landship's captain responds with overkill.
A crewman repairs the gun, but it's lost its chance to fire this turn.
The landship turns and brings its portside rocket-torpedoes to bear on the S.H.I.T.
Direct hit! The S.H.I.T. is destroyed and its pilot is killed. Bob seems unaware that anything has happened.
The jump trooper fires on Blackdog, wounding him. Bob the Unbuilder climbs onto one of the ship's sponsons.
A S.T.U.D.S. full of assault commandos arrives to support the T.L.A.
The crewmen reload their rocket-torpedo launchers, and Blackdog fires on the hovering jump trooper...
... who winds up extremely dead as a result.
It seems that reinforcements have arrived for the Britannians as well...
Bob the Unbuilder leaps onto the landship's deck, decapitating one crewman and the Captain.
He advances on Blackdog, preparing to chainsaw him to death...
... but Blackdog will have none of it, and shoots him in the chest in a most unsporting fashion.
He then disembarks, unwilling to share the landship with a dual-chainsaw-wielding maniac.
The Conqueror moves up... slowly.
Its spotter plane lifts off, and circles around to get close to the action.
The S.T.U.D.S. flies over the Challenger and deploys two flame troopers. They burninate the remaining enemies on the ship in short order.
"Mister President, it's a good thing we found you when we did. There's a scoutship waiting to take you off-planet. We'll transport you there!"
"Leave? NOW? I'm not even done yet! Look, they still have an entire landship RIGHT THERE!"
"Mister President, you're not suggesting we attack a land battleship, are you?..."
"I'll take the helm. You, man the rocket launchers! You, man the other rocket launchers!"
"This is suicide! We can't possibly beat them all--"
The rockets glance harmlessly off the Conqueror's hull, but Bob the Unbuilder scores a lucky hit on a six-pounder gun turret. A pretty impressive shot, especially given that he was holding a pair of running chainsaws the entire time.
The STUDS downs the Blenheim spotter plane. The plane's jet engine breaks free from its mounting and ingests the pilot, leaving only his hat behind.
