Reasonably priced, sits well in the corner, I have a 46" TV sitting on top but would not try anything larger.

Hi, I noticed your great post today on the news item "Gas prices drive interest in CNG". My post = We all need to be pushing for the use of abundant, CLEAN and for now cheap American Natural Gas in the forms of CNG or LNG as the primary alternative to ALL oil based fuels. Make North America energy independent ASAP! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
I noticed your great post on today's news item "Rail trumps pipeline for oil companies". The U.S. railroads need to be improved & maybe they will make enough money shipping oil to invest in infrastructure. My mom and both sisters are RNs, nurses rule. Merry Christmas to you and yours!!! Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
Hi, congratulations on having the perseverance to post for 90 consecutive days and on earning your "racing stripes" AGAIN. Want to become buddies???

SirDaveGuild MasterPosts : 4953 Joined: 17 OCT 2002 Location: US Status : Offline | Okay, now I'm a seriously unhappy camper. I decided to pay for ($9.99) and d/l the JA Store The Five Cores download. Installation was a disaster from the start. Thank heaven I followed my usual practice of making a C-drive image backup and setting a Restore Point first before installating major games. If you are someone who wants control over what is installed and where it is installed on your computer read the following. I don't know who is to blame for this type of installation- people at the JA Store or Neebla Games, but suffice it to say that it makes assumptions that I haven't seen for years in game installations. In the name of full disclosure, let me say upfront that I understood that the game might not run optimally from the get-go since this is a laptop, not a desktop. However, it has the required CPU power and has Nvidia graphics that have worked fine with games that in the past have been the most demanding when it comes to graphics (eg. shaders etc), including URU, Sentinal and Outcry. So on to the installation: First and foremost, there is no Custom Installation. The only choice is to install on the C-Drive. I haven't seen this restriction on a game since the early 1990s. I decided to give it a try anyway to at least see how well the game runs on this system. Next, the installation hits you with installing MS .Net Framework 4 as part of the main installation. This is something that should be mentioned upfront before the main installation so that one has the choice of making this major update to one's computer. Every game I've ever installed that required a .Net Framework update has given you the chance of doing this on your own before installing the game. But, I decide to go ahead and install it and it is no minor update. The installation proceeds and then the installation wants to update my WinXP OS, or so it says, but the installation that I am about to click on says that it has to do with AMD CPU drivers. The problem is that the CPU I have is Intel so I click on Cancel or I try to, but apparently something has overwritten my Mouse driver or screwed it up because now I have no control over my mouse and the keyboard isn't responding normally so I have to do a hard reset. When the system comes backup, I give the Five Cores shortcut a try and am informed that my video board has been found wanting and so I'm, well, done...well done. Just to recap my main gripes here: Forced C-Drive installation is simply inappropriate on any level for a game this size, or a game of any size come to think of it. Things like MS .Net Framework updates should be allowed to be done by the user at their own discretion before the main game installation- perhaps the user doesn't want to update on that system and chooses to use another computer if such an update is necessary. Also, Windows & CPU updates should not be part of a game installation. I am very careful about my Windows updates- sophisicated computer users do not necessarily install every single Windows update that comes out. Finally, I am willing to accept that on one level my laptop didn't have all that was necessary to run this game, but on another level, I think the restrictions are unfortunate for an adventure game. It's not as if this is Crysis or something. It's tough enough to sell adventure games these days without limiting the game to a smaller fraction of computer systems out there. My final act was to restore my C-drive image. I'm not sure whether I'll be able to install The Five Cores at all. I don't like to hunch over desktops to play my adventure games anymore and I'm not sure that my video cards would work anyway. One thing is certain, I won't be installing it to any of my C-drives so that pretty much leaves me with no joy for the moment. The future ain't what it used to be!

JasonChurchAdministratorPosts : 1 Joined: 4 JUN 2012 Location: US Status : Offline | SirDave, Thank you for your report. We are looking into this matter. I'm sorry you had these problems and I hope to have a solution soon. Update: I must apologize for the forced C: drive installation. That was a mistake on our part and has been corrected. The .Net update can be cancelled and performed at a later time if desired. I tested the original build on a clean XP install (SP2) and didn't encounter any of the other issues you describe. There shouldn't be any reason to update your OS or CPU. The video requirements are on the high end for an adventure game, but The Five Cores has nice visuals. I will PM you with a new download link so that you can install the game to the drive of your choice. We would like to work with you to find a solution to your other issues. Please open a Helpdesk ticket and our support staff will be happy to assist you. Last edited by JasonChurch : 15 SEP 2012 6:37pm |

CBPrivate DetectivePosts : 576 Joined: 5 NOV 2011 Location: US, CT Status : Offline | Glad I bought this one straight from the developer. One click on the site directs me to my paypal account and the D/L is easy as pie. As for the installation I just let it install where it wanted and let it create its own directory on my C drive, no real harm I figure, my laptop specs should be good enough for this game. I then promptly moved it to my games directory. Saved a buck and perhaps more... Give a man a fish: He will eat for a day.

Lucien21Guild MasterPosts : 4876 Joined: 9 JUL 2003 Location: 0 Status : Offline | Windows XP came out in 2001...10 blooming years ago. In fact Microsoft stopped supposting SP2 2 years ago. It's a dead parrot. I think it is fairly reasonable to release a game that is compatible with fairly recent specs. Especially one that is using a 3D engine. I always hate this argument, it just continues the evidence that most of the adventure gaming fans are stuck in a time loop somewhere in the 1990's refusing to move with the times. No wonder it's dying. --------------------------- On happier notes. The game works fine on my 3 year old PC with it's low end graphics card However is there are way to remap the keys without fannying around in the .ini files. I don't like WASD or the Arrows. P.S Played it for 30 mins and have NO CLUE what i'm doing. Went into a cave there was 4 buttons randomly clicked them in various orders and was teleported to a bigger cave with a mine car. WTF is going on P.P.S Caroline you can pick yourself off the floor with the news i'm actually playing it. No spitting involved Dear Diary, My teenage angst bullsh*t now has a bodycount. |

EowynIntergalactic JanitorPosts : 10 Joined: 16 SEP 2012 Location: AU Status : Offline | I never said it wasn't reasonable, on the contrary, I'm pleased that adventure gaming has progressed. But potential purchasers do have a right to have all the relevant info before they decide to proceed with the purchase. Then they are in a position to make an informed decision - that's a basic consumer right (at least in this country it is). And surely, you must agree that is reasonable. As for XP being ten years old, I would point out that most of us didn't upgrade to Vista because it was such a terrible operating system (and I've got it on my laptop, so I know what I'm talking about). And the upgrade to Windows 7 is not straightforward, or cheap (I figure it would cost me about $450, assuming I don't upgrade any hardware). If you've got the cash to go out and buy a new computer, well that's great, good luck to you. But not everyone has that amount of cash on hand. And, if reading my post gives someone an excuse to go out and buy a new system, then some people will be excited by that thought. I would myself if had the money. And, by the way, you may be interested to know that Guild Wars 2, which is pretty much state of the art, is compatible with Service Pack 2. Last edited by Eowyn : 16 SEP 2012 5:23am |

I NEVER install games to C: What's humorous is while this topic was being discussed I spent the day setting up a fresh W7 install on a new 256gb SSD [man it is fast], with a 30gb boot partition. W7 is fairly compact for a "new" OS, weighing in at just under 10gb [no hibernation or restore]plus a 8gb page file]. Other than OS the only other stuff installed in C: are critical system & maintenance apps, Antivirus & malware hunters, OpenOffice/Nitro PDF PDFlite and Acronis Image. This completed, I uninstall junk. scan, defrag, and make a backup image, which is about 5gb. I update the image as games and progs get installed to ensure there is a backup with the latest stuff initialized in registry etc.. I ususally keep the first clean image and 2 or 3 of the most recent ones. They are stored in aonther drive, and backed up externally as well. When something bad happens the backup image restores C: in a matter of minutes. I sometimes don't even bother to figure out what the problem is - I just roll back... The actual game/prog installs themselves are regularly backed up to external drive - the time consuming but necessary step everyone skips until they get nailed with a bad virus or hardware failure. Glad to hear Five Cores it's out but will wait until this is resloved... Last edited by tincup2 : 16 SEP 2012 3:29pm |

Not to mention the fact that users running the latest tricked out hardware does not exactly fit the typical adventure game playing demographic. The future ain't what it used to be! |

I know we talked about this before- we follow exactly the same routine. As you mentioned, that last step is particularly important for more than one reason. One is that, obviously, you need to have a backup of the actual game installs that you've placed on a drive separate from the C-drive. But, as well, if you don't have a backup of the game installs that is in sync (ie. contemporary) with the C-drive backup, you could be in a situation where you restore the C-drive with a registry that thinks there is a game installed that isn't. (I know you know this, but I mention it for the uninformed masses ). The Five Cores 'mandatory' C-drive install has apparently been fixed. I'm going to wait a bit to retry the whole thing. I spent too much time on it yesterday and I have a feeling that my laptop's graphics do not have Shader 3. Bummer! The future ain't what it used to be! |

Hell no. I turned on Fraps and see that it struggles to maintain 20 FPS. Anistropic filtering settings don't seem to have any effect. It's playable, just have to tap down DPI on the mouse. This is the same machine that rarely drops below 35 FPS running Skyrim on high minus shadow detail set to low. I have to presume this Unreal Engine 3 is far more demanding compared with other adventure applications. A good laptop cooler is a MUST! Since I had already backed up the DL to a DVD I thought it might be of interest to try it out on my PC Vista 64 SP2 E8400 3.0GHz (I fully realize this needs an upgrade but it's still on hold due to its lack of use) Radeon HD 6870 1 GB GDDR5 4 GB RAM 1650x1050 LCD As before the install doesn't typically default to 32 bit program files so I clicked browse. Ah, now I DO have to d/l and install that framework thingie. (Huh, as for Win7 I have no idea as to what circumstances are responsible for its prior existence, included with the OS or perhaps an update?) I agree it's no minor update as it automatically forces a Windows re-start. Keeping my digits crossed I had high hopes of seeing the game run more smoothly, had being the operative expectation but unfortunately not. Although static views are quite impressive, any type of motion induces (for lack of a better term) sort of a scrolling flicker on the bottom half of the screen thats still persists, although to a lesser degree, at even the lowest possible settings.

EowynIntergalactic JanitorPosts : 10 Joined: 16 SEP 2012 Location: AU Status : Offline | I'm confused by your post. You say that you tested the original build on a XP with SP2, but I attempted to install the game onto my system over the weekend (running XP with SP2) and the installer flatly refused to proceed and quit. Could you clarify that? I had a rather terse email exchange with the game designer in which he was very clear that the game would not run on SP2 and when I asked if there was any workaround he did not offer any suggestions. |

EowynIntergalactic JanitorPosts : 10 Joined: 16 SEP 2012 Location: AU Status : Offline | Yes, I agree that the game designer has shot himself in the proverbial foot. It is such a shame, as the graphics are so beautiful that I really got excited at the prospect of playing T5C. There are many gamers who do have Windows 7 systems and they should have no problems, so I think the game will still find a significant market, but I have to say that I am genuinely surprised that the game has been designed to exclude people running SP2. A bit of market research would have indicated that a lot of people are holding off switching to Windows 7 for various reasons. Many of us refused to install Vista because it was so problematic, and its a fact that many who've tried to install SP3 have had a frustrating time and have ended up giving up. For many less techie types, if you're going to try something as challenging as going from SP2 to Windows 7, you might as well buy a new machine. People like this will likely wait until the old machine is no longer doing the job, and then invest in a whole new system. For some, a game like T5C will be an excuse to do just that, but a lot of people just can't afford to do that. That's a significant chunk of your potential market gone, at least in the short term. :\ As for the argument that the adventure game genre is being killed by gamers being somehow backward looking in our willingness to embrace new technological advances well, I think that's just nonsense. What has been damaging adventure gaming is the tendency for a large proportion of gamers to prefer games which involved shooting and fighting. That's where the big bucks are, so that's where the investment goes. It's not rocket science. Frustrates the hell out of me. |

CarolineJA+ OverseerPosts : 16553 Joined: 28 JAN 2007 Location: AU Status : Offline | I mention it for the uninformed masses Thank you so much for thinking of me, SirDave. However, the installation problems being discussed here mean it's unlikely I will get to play this game as I run an older XP system. The suggestion that adventure game players are backwood looking and not interested in upgrading our systems is utter bunkum. Each of my new computers has been purchased to play the latest Myst games. I preferred the old days (W95 & W98 ) when you put a disc into the drive and it installed itself and played with no probs - and if that's backwood looking then so be it.

Mr Innocent.JourneymanPosts : 1317 Joined: 15 JAN 2008 Location: GR Status : Offline | I am now curious about the game's performance. While on paper the minimum requirements aren't really that steep, CB's experience with his fairly modern desktop (it easily surpasses even the recommended specs, especially the GPU) is troubling. I'll get the game later this evening, will have a full performance report on a powerful desktop and a modest laptop by tomorrow. Last edited by Mr Innocent. : 17 SEP 2012 5:16am |

"Really Nice Stay"
Reviewed May 22, 2013
Michael J | Las Vegas, Nevada
I'm going to be honest. I've never been a fan of The La Quinta brand. That said, I'm a fan of this particular location. Several years ago, I think it used to be a Baymont I think. Spent 3 nights there last week and was pleasantly surprised. Staff and manager were super friendly. My room was clean. If you read my reviews, you can tell that I'm OCD and that's a very big deal for me. Not a problem with my room. Spotless. Internet worked fine while I was there. Location is great. Easy to get to anything you need. Didn't try the breakfast so no comments there. Overall, I would highly recommend this place when you're in the Columbia area.

Our recent stay here was certainly adequate. The front desk was friendly. Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet. But it needed more lighting than the shaded lamp between the beds and the small desk light. Tough to read in that environment. More than one chair would have helped, too. Towels were of good quality and water pressure was great. The continental breakfast, with hard-boiled eggs for protein, was average. We travel with dogs and finding a bit of grass was a challenge.

"The Clerk was the best part of the hotel"
Reviewed May 21, 2013
E_Teters | Kansas City, Kansas
The outside of this hotel looked nice, so I was pretty excited when I met the wonderful clerk. Hotwire booked us as a king bed, despite our desire of two beds, but the accommodating attendant changed that, no problem. The bathtub looked clean, but it had trim on the bottom which was stained with mold/mildew. We were promised free internet but there was none. We tried to call the clerk to report the outage, but our phone was out of order. My daughter went down to the desk and reported the internet problem and the clerk said she would call the IT people and would have them call us. She told the clerk that our phone was not working, but the attendant offered no remedy. About an hour later the clerk came to the room door and reported that the router booster which would serve our room was located in a room below us and that the tenant there had unplugged it. There was nothing they could do about it, according the the clerk. Because the clerk was on the phone when she exchanged our room, she did not take the time to change our information in the computer. Imagine our shock when hours later someone used a key and entered our room. When I shouted at them, stunned at being awakened, they shut the door and walked off without saying a word. I got up and went to the door but saw no one in the hallway. Of course I could not call the front desk since the phone did not work. I was too tired to walk downstairs so I reported the incident the following morning. I told the day clerk about how unhappy I was with my stay and she said someone would call me. She confirmed that I was still listed as being in the original room and that no one was listed as occupying the room we slept in. I left the hotel at 7:30 in the morning. Now it is 9 hours later and I have still not received any call from the hotel. While I really liked the friendly attendant, I am disappointed with my stay and was quite disturbed by someone with a key coming into my room in the early hours of the morning. I have stayed at La Quinta in the past and am resolved, as of this writing, to avoid staying at this chain in the future. The most positive feature was that the beds seemed clean and were comfortable. Construction made this hotel nearly inaccessible. It could only be reached by traveling southbound.

"Pluses and Minuses"

I travel quite often for work and stay at La Quinta regularly. This property did not "shine" like some others I have stayed at. My stay at this La Quinta was for 12 days. HOUSEKEEPING: The first thing I noticed was the poor housekeeping. Counters and sinks were not getting wiped down daily and vacuuming was spotty at best. Towels and linens were well stocked, however, as was the soap and shampoo. Several times the in-room coffee supplies were skipped. WI-FI: Great, when it worked. Many nights I spend on the phone with the front desk and tech support having routers and servers reset. The equipment needs to be updated! BRIGHT SIDE BREAKFAST: A carb-only affair, with the only exception being cold boiled eggs. One of the reasons I choose La Quinta is the value-added by having breakfast there. The lack of protein options, poor quality of fruit and hit-and-miss hot coffee (sometimes its brewed and sometimes it's not) are problems that need to be addressed. FRONT DESK: Very warm and welcoming. Helpful and apologetic too, but stretched thin. Additional staff could be used. ROOM: Updated and well appointed. If housekeeping was on the ball, the rooms would be perfect! Not many channel selections on the TV though. If I am in the area again, I will probably check out another option. If you are in town for a short stay it is fine and pet friendly!

April is a busy time in Columbia. MO, so book early. The front desk staff was very friendly, helpful, and did a great job with all the people coming and going while I was there. I stay here twice a year and this was the best stay yet.

I hope you all find simple joys in your day today!
my favorite kinda post
have a wonderful day tracey:)
Such a cute post! Love the 2 year olds idea of fashion. I got a 3 year old here with the same sense. She was running around outside the other day with her bathing suit on and knee socks. Why knee socks? So her feet didn't get cold! Duh, stupid mom!
Your simple joys are simply marvellous! Thanks for sharing these with us this morning!
Hope you continue to have a very beautiful day!
WOW! Your images are awsome! Especially the third one! Hughs Anja
I just love those little feet in that last photo, Tracey. Precious!!!

Good Morning,

What a lovely post, and all from your camera! Thanks for sharing your day with us.
I love those sandals and socks, LOL! My little rascal is so silly like that too. Must be the age, LOL!
Beautiful pictures! You are truly talented!
Sweet! We all need to stop and do this!
Your chippy basket of flowers photos are beautiful. I have photoshop and can't seem to figure out any thing on it :( You do a beautiful job though. Your little ones attempt at getting dressed gave me a chuckle. Too cute!
Personally, I dress like your two year old sometimes. What's wrong with that? Beautiful post. Love the present. Too cute.
What a heart warming post;)
Love the last one, so sweet...I think she might be on to something there! :) Can't wait to meet you sweetie...FC will be a blast! xo

Thanks for the emotion-roller ride! I NEVER leave your blog without a smile...thanks!
Beautiful post. Why do you have to show the coffee though??? Just mean...and I thought we were friends!
What a sweet post Tracey! Love that basket! Now I am wishing I had picked up one that looks just like this one. I have looked at it several times and now it is probably gone. :(
Can you believe I don't think I have ever had a cannoli?? I must remedy that soon. First I have to find a place that makes the.lol.
Love the latte cup, the flowers, your two year old's socks and shoes. Too cute!! Aren't they fiercely independent at that age? My darling gd Annika (3 years old) wants to do everything for herself and I mean everything. Sometimes she gets her shoes on the wrong feet and I want to fix them and she says NO...lol.
They are so precious at that age. ENJOY!!
Owwwwww..i love that little feet.........on the last picture !!
So special...............that is joy !!
Joy is in the little things of life ........HAPPY WEEKEND !!
With lots of joy !! hugs from Ria

Hi there Tracey,
Your photographs are so beautiful. Your flowers are so pretty, what's nicer than a cup of coffee and a delicious cake and, your daughter looks a picture in her stripey socks and sandles.It surely is the smaller and simpler things in life that bring us the most joy. XXXX
Beautiful Tracey!! your killing me here with that cannoli!! :) Oh My! Hope you guys have a Beautiful weekend & the sun shines bright where you are!
Love & Big Hugs ~ Teresa
Simple pleasures are the true joy of life! Beautiful photos! My favourite is the last one...so sweet little feet!!!

Hi Tracey,
Love all the beautiful photos you have shared today.
Especially the sweet red box with the heart with the photo of your daughter.
Your sweet 2 year old, is a lot like my daughter used to be, when she dressed herself.... how precious.
We do need to appreciate the little things, as they do bring us so much joy.
Have a happy weekend
What a wonderful post Tracey. The simplest things often contain the most beauty.
I love the independent child comment. When I'm up front singing at church and my hubby arrives in late with the kids, I do a quick scan of what they're wearing and it's often very independent :o)
Have a blessed day.
The simple pleasures in life bring the most joy.
Love your pictures!

You had me at Cannoli:) Merci~

Thanks for sharing!
ps. I went to a flea marked in Amsterdam recently and came across a vintage burlap sack and I thought of you!
I was bummed that I saw it on the last day of my trip and I didn't really want to spend 10 euros they asked for it. Now, of course, I kind of wish I had. Oh well, next time...
Hello, your photos are so beautiful!
I´m in love with every image!

It is true that the little things are the happiest things.
Your two year old has happy style! That's always beautiful/gorgeous! =] Er, I can see why you're addicted....
I started humming that Fred Astaire song to myself, somewhere around the forget-me-nots ~ "heaven! (doodeedoo) I'm in heeeeaven!" You know the song, "Dancing Cheek to Cheek!" Yup, that's how this post feels. I'm going to go and look again!
Morning! I am so behind, and you've reminded me to play with photoshop. I love all the photos, but the last one is with the argyle socks and sandals is priceless!
Thanks for sharing such lovely photographs! A great reminder to enjoy the simple things in life. :o)
my simple joy this weekend was being in the garden. bliss!
Love your flower basket, Tracey. And the cannoli looks divine. (I shouldn't be looking at that this hour of the morning!
These are definitely things to make you happy!
That's a cutie in the last photo! Looks like she did a pretty good job!
I loved all your simple joys, dear. Beautiful post. I hope you're well, Tracey!

A circus producer said Friday that an animal rights group has paid it $9.3 million to settle two federal court cases claiming elephant abuse.
Feld Entertainment, Inc., trumpeted the settlement with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) as a victory for its Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
"These defendants attempted to destroy our family-owned business with a hired plaintiff who made statements that the court did not believe," said Kenneth Feld, chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment, in a statement.
"Animal activists have been attacking our family, our company, and our employees for decades because they oppose animals in circuses," Feld said. "This settlement is a vindication not just for the company but also for the dedicated men and women who spend their lives working and caring for all the animals with Ringling Brothers in the face of such targeted, malicious rhetoric."
The ASPCA was one of several animal rights groups that sued Feld Entertainment in 2000, alleging that circus elephants were abused.
Both parties filed dismissal papers in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The ASPCA confirmed the settlement, saying in a statement that "the organization does not admit to any liability or wrongdoing." The court never ruled on the merits of the elephant abuse allegations, it said.
"After more than a decade of litigating with Feld Entertainment, the ASPCA concluded that it is in the best interests of the organization to resolve this expensive, protracted litigation," said ASPCA President and CEO Ed Sayres in the statement.
Feld's cases, which include allegations of litigation abuse and racketeering, will continue against the other defendants -- the Humane Society of the United States, the Fund for Animals, the Animal Welfare Institute, the Animal Protection Institute United with Born Free USA and Tom Rider, a former circus employee who testified against Ringling Bros.
U.S. District Judge Emmett G. Sullivan deemed Rider's testimony tainted because he had been paid by animal rights activists and did not have standing to sue.

SedonaWishList.org is a free, local website based on the idea that the community will respond when it knows what is needed. Details of all "Wishes" and contact information for the 88 member service organizations are available on their individual SedonaWishList.org web page.
May 22, 2013
Wishes Fulfilled:
■ Sedona Community Center thanks a neighbor who donated a dozen gorgeous redwood planters to make their facility more inviting to host community activities.
Urgent Wishes & Needs:
■ Friends of Slide Rock State Park needs items for its power point presentations in the Homestead Apple Packing Museum. They have received a screen but still need a projector and laptop computer, headset microphone, speakers, podium, and up to 40 folding chairs. New or gently used will be appreciated.
■ Sedona Wish List is still searching for an outgoing and organized volunteer who wants varied and fulfilling community service. Meet members of Sedona's wonderful service organizations while helping alert them to their opportunities on Sedona Wish List.
■ Humane Society of Sedona needs dog treats for their volunteer dog walkers to use when working with shelter dogs on their daily walks and socialization. Preferred are Pro-Treat Freeze Dried Beef Liver Treats available at PetSmart.
■ Sedona Heritage Museum needs an exhibit designer – possibly an educator or story-teller who would like to join the Museum's Exhibits Committee and work with 3-D items to create Museum exhibits three times per year. The committee uses materials in the Collection to tell stories through artifacts and historic photos.
■ Verde Valley Caregivers is looking for a sofa no longer than 6'3" for one of our needy "neighbors".
■ Sedona Community Center has received many planters, but still needs large decorative pots to enhance the exterior of the Center. Please leave off pots or your donation at the Community Center.
To those wonderful community residents who donate and/or volunteer, thank you for mentioning Sedona Wish List when contacting the organization in need.
If you belong to a Sedona-based, not-for-profit, sectarian service organization and would like to join Sedona Wish List, please click "sign up" at the top of this homepage.

"1. Brain MRI: Routine.
2. Head and neck MRA: Routine.
3. Echocardiogram: Routine.
4. Bring patient some tampons ASAP!!!"
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Doesn't she have one in her purse to tide her over?
Just asking.
I dunno. Didn't ask. Look, I'm just the neurologist!
Or some kitty litter!
and he didn't order a beer?
for himself?
just wondering...
at least the internist didn't say STAT!
little d, S.N.- Actually, it did say STAT. I wasn't sure my non-medical readers would know the term.
Anything remotely gyn or obstetric is an truly an emergency outside of a labor and delivery/post-partum floor. Good to know your hospital is no different than ours!
Hey Grumpy, my 5 and 8 year olds know what STAT means, and I don't even work in the medical field.
I'm wondering if she was having menorrhagia, could the 34 y/o stroke victim have a bleeding disorder? Just a thought...
I really hope he didn't think her possible stroke was causing her vaginal bleeding....
Tampons? Good grief, must be a private hospital. All we give out here are the huge, wingless ones also used post partum.
Stroke causing vaginal bleeding, no. But hemorrhagic stroke + menorrhagia could point to underlying thrombophilia.
I'd Grab an ABD pad and some silk tape; however I am evil. Of all the dumb orders I have seen. Is toxic shock syndrome ever occur anymore. With all of the other issues the pt had; a simple oversight like not changing the tampon, could be easily missed.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess kristen is a new medical grad of some sort? an FPNP perhaps?
