Press Release
ASHP Speaks Out on the Central Role of Pharmacists in CounterTerrorism
The policy, which offers advice to hospital and health-system pharmacy directors, individual health-system pharmacists, administrators, emergency preparedness planners, and ASHP affiliated state societies, was developed following a landmark meeting on emergency preparedness and the pharmaceutical supply chain convened by ASHP November 9, 2000.
ASHPs "Statement on the Role of Health-System Pharmacists in Counterterrorism" advises that:
- Pharmacists expertise should be used in the selection, handling, and deployment of medications and related supplies for national stockpiles and local inventories,
- Pharmacists at the local level should be involved in planning for providing interim treatment of patients before nationally stockpiled drugs arrive on scene, and
- Pharmacists should advise public health officials on appropriate public messages related to the use of medications following terrorist incidents.
- Pharmacists should be called upon to collaborate with physicians and other prescribers in the drug therapy management of individual victims in the event of a terrorist attack.
"Pharmacists who work in hospitals and health systems are truly on the front lines of this new war," said ASHP President Steve Sheaffer, M.S., FASHP. "It is vital that the nation begin to tap into the special medication-use and pharmaceutical distribution expertise that pharmacists possess."
The policy, which is attached, also recommends that:
- Individual institutions coordinate their emergency preparedness plans with neighboring institutions and local, state, and federal authorities,
- Pharmacy directors work to coordinate emergency supplies of pharmaceuticals among their institutions,
- Administrators fully involve pharmacy directors in emergency-planning efforts, and
- Emergency-preparedness planners keep pharmacists "in the loop" in planning for the deployment of pharmaceutical stockpiles.
ASHP is the 31,000-member national professional association that represents pharmacists who practice in hospitals, health maintenance organizations, long-term care facilities, home care, and other components of health care systems. ASHP, which has a long history of medication error prevention efforts, believes that the mission of pharmacists is to help people make the best use of medicines. Assisting pharmacists in fulfilling this mission is ASHP's primary objective. The Society has extensive publishing and educational programs designed to help members improve their delivery of pharmaceutical care, and it is the national accrediting organization for pharmacy residency and pharmacy technician training programs.

What I Wore | Homecoming 2015/
WhatIWore: I have the personality type that can get really excited. So excited that I jump up and down and say outloud "I'm so excited!!!!" over and over again. Like a kiddo at Christmas. That's how I felt this weekend! Indiana's homecoming was this weekend and although we lost the game, had a really fun time walking through campus and tailgating with friends (photos to come!).
This is what I wore for the game. When you live in a college town, are an alum and have a major love for IU sports, you'll rack up a lot of team apparel. This time, I wanted to do something a little different and go for an old school sort of IU outfit. Adam gave me this vintage IU tamoshanter he found online a couple Christmases ago and I recently added this bright red fair isle sweater to my wardrobe. I love how they look together. And for those of you with eagle eyes (I don't know if you can really see it!), I even wore my Delta Gamma anchor pin (ITB, y'all!) To finish it all off, wearing my favorite bright red lipstick!
When: October 17, 2015
Hat: Vintage
Shades: Karen Walker 'Super Duper'
Sweater: Lands' End
Anchor Pin: from my old sorority days at DG
Jeans: J.Crew
Boots: Ariat (gift)
See also: what I wore to other tailgates and Homecoming games in 2010, 2011, 2012 2013
For my original outfit, I had on a different pair of black boots, but when push comes to shove, I decided to wear flat boots. We walked a couple miles to and from the stadium and stood for most of the time we were there. Heels are cute, but there's a time and place for everything, ya know?Also! For any IU students who are interested, I'll be giving a talk this Wednesday evening on campus on how to transition your wardrobe from college to career as a part of the Life After IU series.

LOOSE Women star Saira Khan has compared Marnie Simpson's behaviour in the Celebrity Big Brother house to prostitution.
The outspoken TV personality, who was the second to be evicted from the house, made the shock comparison during an appearance on the Wright Stuff yesterday.
While she didn't refer to the Geordie Shore star by name she made it quite clear the comments were directed at her as she referred to their first meeting in the house.
CBB viewers will remember that the first think Marnie asked her was "Who are you going to have sex with in the house?"
Discussing the incident, the 46-year-old said: "First of all I thought you haven't been reading the headlines about me, I don't do sex unmarried and then I thought that conversation normally happens, in our country on a corner in the Red Light District.
"For me, this young lady had taken the red light, crossed the boundary into TV. The red light was the camera, and she had got a fee, and she came with the intent of having sex. To me, that is what you call prostitution."
She continued: "For me, for mainstream TV to have that content, call me prudish, I don't agree with it. I think it's a generational thing, I don't get it."
Surprisingly the show's host, Matthew Wright, didn't disagree with her comparison and could be seen nodding his head in agreement.
Saira went on to discuss the moment Marnie flashed her breasts at her, she fumed: "To do that to another woman was degrading."
During Marnie's time in the house she has been seen getting intimate with Lewis Bloor – the pair raised eyebrows when they took a shower naked together and Marnie appeared to perform a sex act on him.
Marnie's cousin Sophie Kasaei hit back at Saira's "disgusting" comments.
She told the Daily Star: "It's pretty disgusting to call someone a prostitute.
"Saira took a lot of flak for saying her husband could sleep with other women yet she doesn't mind handing out the insults herself, does she?
"How would Saira know what Marnie was going to do in the house unless she's psychic?"
Saira was the second celebrity to be evicted from the CBB house but insisted she only took part for the money.

She said: "I went in because it's a great pay cheque."

Benefits will face another round of deep cuts after the next election to meet George Osborne's plans to balance the budget, economists have predicted.
Reductions in welfare half as deep again as the Coalition's current controversial changes may be needed, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) suggested. Alternatively, taxes would have to rise.
The think tank made the prediction as it questioned the Chancellor's ability to fund £7 billion of plans, including free school meals.
This week Mr Osborne set out plans to clear the Government deficit and run a surplus by 2018-19, telling voters that more "difficult decisions" will be needed after the 2015 general election.
The IFS said that meeting the Chancellor's goals solely through savings in Whitehall departments and public services would mean "accelerating" the pace of cuts in recent years and reducing the size of central government to its smallest since 1948.
Carl Emmerson, of the IFS, suggested that achieving such cuts would be extremely tough, as it might involve abandoning entire areas of public service. Instead, he said, a future government might seek to reduce the deficit from other sources.
"These forecasts [from Mr Osborne] imply historically very low levels of spending on public services as a share of national income," he said.
"That raises the obvious question as to whether it is realistic or whether an alternative choice might be made – whether we would choose instead to reduce the deficit less quickly or whether we choose to engage in a further net tax rise or a further welfare cut to lighten the load."
The IFS calculated that if annual welfare spending is cut by £12 billion a year after the election, the extra cuts in departments and services will only have to continue at their current rate.
The Coalition's current programme of welfare cuts – which include cuts in benefit rates, a cap on household claims, and the spare room subsidy – are due to save £25 billion a year.
Mr Osborne has indicated that a Conservative government would not want to increase taxes but would like deeper cuts on welfare.
In its analysis of the Autumn Statement, the IFS also raised doubts about Mr Osborne's ability to fund a range of recently announced crowd-pleasing policies.
These include a tax cut for married couples; free school meals for all under-7s; a freeze in fuel duty; cuts in business rates and some exemptions from National Insurance.
In total, those policies will cost about £3.25 billion a year, the IFS estimated. Earlier promises on social care, child care and National Insurance payments will cost the Treasury almost £4 billion.
Much of the revenue to fund those policies is due to come from a fresh campaign against tax avoidance and an increased levy on banks. However, the IFS warned that such revenues could not be relied on.
"Whilst the costs of his tax cuts are pretty definite, the benefits from his anti-avoidance measures, and indeed of the increase in the bank levy, are rather less certain."

Speechless in Paris is more like it, I had so much to say for the past two nights, but I had left my laptop at work (because it's also the laptop I work on), and it was a drain carrying it back and forth and especially when I go hang out after work, and am sure you know by now that there is a lot of walking around here.
The last 3 nights were just perfect, I did the last two things I wanted to do, it is go to Louvre and go on the bateau mouche, but also, I got to see another 2 of my friends and eat at the Paradis des fruits *coughs-overrated-coughs*
This is my last night in Paris, and my last night in the hotel. I might never come back here and I might come back to live, no one knows, but I did say goodbye to the metro, to the hotel, and tomorrow to Paris.
But the most important conclusion that I drew from all this is... how easy I felt integrated, and right in my place, not when the metro is too crowded, that I can never get used to.
Hasta la vista baby, so long suckers, and TADA to the next place I visit.

Road Safety Improves at Downe Retail Park
July 5, 2013|
Posted by Margaret Trainor |
IMPROVEMENTS to road safety have been made at Downe Retail Park.
Councillor Gareth Sharvin has welcomed the co-operation and work carried out by the property owner of Downe Retail Park, Mr John Miskelly, after consultation to resolving the road safety and congestion issues that existed at Retail Park.
Councillor Sharvin said: " I have received a large number of calls from members of the public about the state of road markings at Downe Retail Park and they have asked for urgent action to implement the road improvements. There has been a number of near misses and young children are often visiting the facilities after playing football at Dunleath. Safety is for all road users and pedestrians is paramount.
"The Downe Retail Park hosts a number of tenants including ASDA, McDonalds and Argos. The retail park sees a high volume of shoppers every week and the volume of traffic reflects the need for an improved traffic management system throughout the retail park. I have approached the store managers within the retail park to seek their issues and concerns around the road conditions at the retail park. After consultation with both business owners and residents, I organised a number of discussions with the Retail Park owner Mr John Miskelly.
"Mr Miskelly has understood the issues which were highlighted and expressed his commitment to ensuring the safety of all visitors to the retail park. Downe Retail Park has already had a number of improvements such as a new lane way assisting traffic flow into the retail park, improvements to the pedestrian crossing and all road markings have been remarked for improved visibility.
"With all these improvements now in place, visitors to Downe Retail Park can enjoy their shopping in a safe environment. I would like to thank the owner and stores in their co-operation, support and commitment for the safety of all shoppers. This is another success for road safety in Down District," added Councillor Sharvin.


text: The U.S. trade deficit contracted by 6% in July to $34.6 billion, as exports rose 1.3%, the fifth straight increase, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Imports, meanwhile, fell 1.0%. American consumers and companies imported record values of goods from Western Europe and China in July, pushing the deficits with those economies to record highs. The increase in exports was largely due to a 39% gain in aircraft sales and a record $7.1 billion in auto exports. Despite record imports of agricultural goods and a 4.5% rise in crude oil imports, total imports sank on significant declines in aircraft, semiconductors, telecom equipment and consumer goods.

R&D Cuts Curb Brain-Drug Pipeline
Development of new medicines for brain disorders could be threatened as major drug makers scale back research
As drug companies shake up their research and development operations, the industry risks narrowing its focus to the most profitable areas, raising the prospect that some fields of medicine may be neglected, experts say.
Chief among these is neuroscience—research into disorders of the brain. Many companies, including U.K.-based AstraZeneca and GlaxoSmithKline PLC, French drug maker Sanofi-Aventis SA and U.S.-based Merck & Co., have recently scaled back their research into how the brain works and affects behavior....

One way that some schools create inclusive programs for students with disabilities is by assigning co-teachers to classrooms. This has the potential to help with planning and classroom management, but teachers can benefit from learning a few useful techniques to get the most out of having a co-teacher. Sue Land, MEd, has outlined several of these strategies in an article on the William & Mary School of Education's website.
When planning lessons with a co-teacher, teachers should also make sure to use other professional resources available, including special education teachers and assistants. Co-teachers should plan together at least once a week, and can use methods including interactive teaching (teachers take turns presenting), parallel teaching (students are divided into mixed-ability groups), and station teaching (small groups rotate through stations where they may receive instruction, review, or practice time.)
Classroom management techniques that can be used by co-teaching teams or individual teachers in inclusive classrooms include displaying classroom rules and daily schedules, providing opportunities for movement, using organizational systems with folders and checklists, and planning for transition times.
To incorporate universal design for learning into inclusive classrooms, lessons should involve a variety of ways of representing content (visually, orally) and students should be also be able to express their understanding in different ways (writing, drawing, speaking). Working in small groups and pairs can be enriching, but there should be a reason that the task needs to be done in a group and collaborative strategies should be taught.
Clear expectations and memorable lesson plans help all students in inclusive classrooms to learn, and dividing classroom management and teaching duties can help co-teachers be effective. To read the full article, click here.
The William & Mary School of Education (in Williamsburg, Virginia, in the US) has published many other articles on inclusive classrooms, available here.

This is baby #4 first induction. I'm going in at 4-4.5 70% effaced as of last week. Any tips as to what helped you or didn't help you through the process?!
This is baby #4 first induction. I'm going in at 4-4.5 70% effaced as of last week. Any tips as to what helped you or didn't help you through the process?!
Momma to 3
I'd say you are starting off on a good note! I started my induction at 41w1d at just 1 cm
I just had my first baby on August 13th, with induction. I was 0.5CM. They inserted the medication at 10AM and I was 10CM and ready to give birth at 8PM. My OB was pretty shock that it worked right a way with just one dose so I think it really depends for every woman.
Patience! I expected my second baby to come faster than my first but the induction took longer than ODS spontaneous labor. Things were slow going for a while, but once they started ramping up it happened quickly. Good luck 🖤

Thank you! When I get there I assume I'll be checked and start pit, are you able to walk around and move?!
Momma to 3
This! But my shortest labor was 11 hrs so hopefully it's less 😳😬
Momma to 3
I was able to move and walk because my hospital had wireless monitors. But you had to ask for them. I made it very clear that I wanted to move around and they were totally cool with that, just you'll have to carry around the IV pole. The only thing was that the monitors kept losing track of my contractions and the baby while I was bouncing around on the yoga ball but the nurses were patient and just kept coming in to readjust. I could even wear them in the tub! Then they just said okay let's let the pit go at this rate for a few hours and watch your contractions. The doc would come in every few hours and check the cervix. If your contractions aren't progressing they'll turn up the pit. It's a lot of waiting. SO (significant other) and I brought music, played cards, watched tv, walked around, etc. to kill time. The worst part honestly was the hunger! Once they've started you can't eat. That suuucked

DOnt let them keep you attached to bed... I didn't move as much as I wanted and was told I was stalled at 5 cm.... I lifted myself in my bed to use the bedpan to pee and my body went from 5 to 10 within minutes ( hurt like hell).
👫 2007 🙊2007 🙉2009 ⭐ 2012 🙈 2014 🤰🏽2018
I was 4 cm and 50% when I was induced and its was a pretty smooth delivery. Yes it can take a long time but it can also be quick. I only took 4.5 hrs. I cant say what else to do as I've only ever had inductions. 9hrs and 4.5hrs. Just breathe! You can do it mama
I was only 2 cm when I went in for my induction and it went fairly quick and smooth. Took 8 hours from start to finish. I moved around and bounced on a ball to help get me going and I do believe it helped me progress.
I wasn't anxious at all but now I'm loosing my mind lol

True Spanish Style
We've done the bar. the salsa classes and the club and yet we still want a bigger and tastier bite of Spain. And what better way to do it than visit the lively city of Barcelona.
As always. the amigos need little persuasion and have their best clothes packed before you can say San Miguel. Then with a quick read through our phrase book. we set off for a truly authentic Spanish experience. It hits you as soon as you arrive in Barcelona. You can't help but feel the excitement of a city that bursts with energy and life. It doesn't take us long to get out and about along Las Bamblas, sampling the local hospitality in the many side-street cafes and bars. We decide to start with tapas and order a selection of dishes to help us through the night. washing them down with some golden San Miguel. We watch the world go by and start chatting to some locals who suggest one of the local hot spots for some pre—club action where we can get into the Catalan groove.
This venue is ideal. As the night draws in. the crowds swell and we find plenty of people to practice our Spanish on and get to know better. The later it gets. the more lively the streets become. Everywhere we look. people are spilling from the bars. filling the city with a happy sense of a fantastic night ahead. By the time we get to the club. we realise our group has doubled in size. Now we can
enjoy the nightlife in true Spanish style.
As soon as we enter the club. we are swept away in a sea of hot bodies. Everyone is packed close together and the temperature is rising in more ways than one. Undaunted. we still manage to pull a few of our best moves to impress the Spaniards. The heat is incredible so we decide to have San Miguels all round. refreshing our senses and keeping us dancing all night in this city that never sleeps.
By the first light of morning, we have plenty of offers to show us the rest of Barcelona. from Parc Guell to Picasso. but already the whole experience has been fantastic. We've been able to savour the true Barcelona and put into practice everything we have learnt on our Spanish journey. It just goes to show that with the right ingredients of fun. laughter. friends and the right Spanish beer you can enjoy the refreshing flavour of San Miguel and an authentic taste of modern Spain.

To those misinformed, confused or, merely, just curious, here is an excerpt from McSweeney's comprehensive guide to "Understanding Twitter," this first sentence perfectly answering the infamous "what is twitter" question in elegant, beautiful simplicity:
Twitter seems to be, first and foremost, an online haven where teenagers making drugs can telegraph secret code words to arrange gang fights and orgies.
As you can tell, this is well worth the read, but here's the rest of the paragraph so you can stay on my website a little longer:
It also functions as a vehicle for teasing peers until they commit suicide. In order to become a "follower" on Twitter, teens first must flash their high-beam headlights at an oncoming motorist on the highway. Then, if that motorist flashes his or her high-beam headlights back in reply, the teen must kill the motorist in order to be initiated into "following" the online gang. The catch is that one can only use 140 sentences to plan a total of 140 events—that is, any combination of orgies, gang fights, suicides, and highway killings totaling 140 planned situations or activities.
It is pretty bomb; I'll give it that. Follow me on twitter here: @masemase

I'm not really sure if this is only for Twitter users, but I don't think so. I can't imagine you wouldn't appreciate it otherwise. So just read this, trust me: A foot and a half: Finally, A Use for Twitter:
Sean informed me a few days ago that he had been following "The Real Shaq" on twitter.
"You realize that 'The Real Shaq' is probably a 5'4 White, 14 year old emo kid who's getting his jolly's from the attention, right?" I asked him.
"I don't know. I think it's really him"
Today Sean and I were discussing rumored trade situations over IM, and the possibility of Shaq being traded to Cleveland.
"Well, I just got a twitter from The Real Shaq, and he's at 5 & Diner right now," Sean informed me.
"Let's go then" I said, assuming that I'd finally put this "Real Shaq" crap to rest.
Twenty minutes later we were pulling up to the restaurant and looking for the big black truck that he's rumored to drive around town. "Maybe that's it" Sean said, pointing at an older, but nice Van and laughing. As we pulled up I saw the Superman symbol on the grill.
Maybe that is it?
We went in, and to my surprise the MDE(Most Dominant Ever) was sitting in the corner booth by himself. We gave the man a nod and "Hey" as we walked to our table and were soon whispering back and forth like 12 year old girls at the 7th grade dance.
Oh, and if you're incredibly bored and want to read more of the musings of a miserable NYC'er about to re-take the New York Bar Exam on Tuesday, feel free to follow me at @masemase. And wish me luck because lord knows I'll need it.

I've been sick. Really, really sick. So sick, we had to leave the wedding we were attending last night way too early. I had been looking forward to this day for a long time but just as dinner started, I got sick and had to go home. Boo. I was up all night.... (scared the heck out of Charlie) and didn't stop vomiting till 6:00 this morning. (Too much information? I'll spare you the rest of the details.) I have not had the strength to do anything but sleep for most of the day. Finally... around 1:00 pm, I decided to try and eat some soup... and from then on, I've slowly regained strength. It reminds me of that old saying... "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?" Well... that certainly applies to health and comfort. When you're ill... it's difficult to remember what it feels like to be well. Then, when you turn the corner and begin recovery... it's amazing how you notice each thing returning to normal function. You appreciate strength, endurance, breath, lack of pain and stiffness... you appreciate (even if only for a little while) how good it feels to feel good. We know in our head how significant good health is but most of us only appreciate it when we're forced to take action to recover from some ailment. I'm not saying I could have done something to prevent the stomach flu... but there are lots of things I do have control over. Why do I wait until it's an emergency?
It's just too bad the good feeling of recovery doesn't last long enough in our memory. Taking our health for granted is truly a shame.

The city of Sparwood is open for business.
The city council recently gave the green light for Yama2Go's solar powered mobile sushi truck to operate at Sparwood's Chamber of Commerce.
In years past, Sparwood had refused to allow mobile food vendors to operate in the city, said Coun. Harold Baytaluke, who wasn't on council at the time.
"The administration was suggesting it is time. With all the activity in town, this is the opportunity for those who can make it to show their wares and see how it goes," said Baytaluke.
An excert from the background information document prepared for the council states, "around the province, mobile vending has proven to bring people together and create another outlet for the public to have the convenience of street level products."
Cam Carr, owner of the mobile sushi truck made sure that he had all is ducks in a row before applying to the council.
"I showed them all my insurance, business licenses, incorporations, health certificates, gas certificates and electrical certificates to show them I am all above board," said Carr, adding that the only stipulation was he leaves the site as he found it and picks up all the garbage. "I do that anyway."
Upon Carr's suggestion, Sparwood is treating his mobile truck as a pilot program, so they could cancel it at any time if they find it is getting out of control.
"If they call it a pilot program the city can mandate it however they see fit, or cancel it at any point," said Carr, who was reached via telephone while setting up for his first day in Sparwood.
Baytaluke liked the idea of a trial program.
"At some point we may get more vendors wanting to set up shop than we can fit into that space so there has to be a program developed to either rotate them or allow certain days for certain operators," said Baytaluke.
Carr came up with the idea for the truck three years ago.
"Because we are completely solar powered it took a lot of mathematics and a lot of research to be able to run these things," said Carr. "If you looked at 99 percent of the food trucks out there, they all have a big generator hanging off their back bumper at pretty much peak RPM all day long, and that's not what we wanted to be."
The reaction to the solar-powered truck has been huge, said Carr.
"We do a lot of music festivals. The idea that I can go in there and not tax their system at all is a bonus for them. They love it," said Carr.
"It's good for the environment. It is the lowest footprint out of any catering truck that I know of. "

Norwalk men charged with forging $5,000 check
Photo: Contributed Photo / Contributed Photo
NEW CANAAN — Two Norwalk men were arrested and charged with forgery and conspiracy to commit larceny.
Earlier in March, police began looking into a complaint alleging the use of fraudulent checks. According to an investigation, Andy Mitchell-Maynard, 23, and Kason Sumpter, 20, and a third unnamed accomplice had deposited a counterfeit check in February in the amount of $5,000, which they later tried to withdraw.
Mitchell-Maynard turned himself in to police Sept. 13 and was issued a court date for that same day while Sumpter turned himself in Sept. 16 and issued an Oct. 1 court date. As the case is still under investigation, the third accomplice has not yet been named.

Defrost 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts and 4 thighs in the microwave. Cut into bite size pieces and saute in 3 Tbs. olive oil. Add 3 cut-up spicy smoked sausage and brown. Add 1 onion, 1 green pepper and a couple of stalks celery (I was out of celery, so I used celery salt instead of regular salt when seasoning). Cook for 5 minutes, then add a mixture of cayenne, white and black pepper, dried thyme, rubbed sage, salt, minced garlic and a couple of bay leaves. Add 1 cup tomato sauce, 2 cups chopped tomato, 3 cups raw brown rice and 6 cups chicken stock. Place in 350° oven and bake uncovered for 2 hours or until liquid is almost all absorbed and rice is tender. Stir and let rest 10 minutes. Delicious, and even better the next day.
I made this tonight for dinner and was pronounced the best husband ever.

Each Wednesday, we feature a construction story, image or detail drawing from a past or recent project at Wilkus Architects. It's our goal to generate conversation with these weekly posts so please comment below.
Our first edition of Construction Wednesday features a project Wilkus Architects completed for Northern Family Farms in 2012. This project features a contemporary detail with an exterior wood cladding system terminating at the storefront glazing system. Conceptually, the cladding material "wraps" from the exterior into the interior spaces. (See below)
In order to achieve this look, we had a few hurdles to overcome.
- A remote site made communication between the contractors and our team difficult.
- Decisions made on-site became an issue when details weren't built per the architectural drawings.
- Issuing accurate construction bulletins based on our assessment of on-site photos. (See below)
In the end, the design came to fruition with successful collaboration between our team at Wilkus Architects and the general contractor on site. We're happy with the way the building showcases the natural beauty of wood.
In the end, our client has a beautiful building with interesting architectural details.
Enjoy this post? Share online and leave a comment below. Check back soon for the next edition of Construction Wednesday!

Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges is one of two water rides in the Toon Lagoon area. The other is Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls. The storyline for both rides is similar: a girl is kidnapped by an evil villain, and the hero must save the damsel in distress. In the case of Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges, Popeye must save Olive Oyl from Bluto.
Guests start the experience by clambering into a 12-person barge and buckling up to brace themselves for the wild ride. The barge sails through rapids in a waterway, passing by many Popeye-themed scenes along the way. Specific encounters include multiple waterfalls, leaky pipes, and an Octopus Grotto that holds an 18-foot tall, 14-foot wide octopus that likes to spray guests with his 10-foot long tentacles.
The barge bobs, dips, and dives through a lot of churning water, which practically guarantees that water will rush over the side of the raft and onto the barge seat. Riders also get wet when they pass the nearby Me Ship, the Olive, a three-story boat equipped with water cannons. There is almost always someone on the bow of this ship waiting to squirt water at the barge riders.
Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges Ride History
In Toon Lagoon's early design phases, when the land was to be called Cartoon World, this ride was originally called Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barge Wild River Ride. Popeye was going to have his own ride called Popeye's Adventure Boat Ride. The adventure boat ride was eventually scrapped, and Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges was born. The barge ride opened with the rest of Toon Lagoon and Islands of Adventure in 1999.
Express Pass
Guest can use an Express Pass to skip the lines and shorten their wait time for Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges.
Single Rider Line
Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges does not have a single rider line.
Child Swap
As with most rides in Islands of Adventure, child swap is an option for guests who have children that do not want to ride Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges.
Height Restrictions
At minimum, guests must be 42 inches tall to experience this water ride. Guests who are more than 42 inches tall but less than 48 inches tall must ride with a supervising companion.
Transfer from an electronic conveyance vehicle or wheel chair to ride seating is required to sail on Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges.
UO Fan Guide Ride Tips
This is the wettest water ride in Islands of Adventure. How wet you get is sometimes dependent on how the barge turns and whether or not you get doused by a waterfall, but you should expect to get soaked.
A cheap, disposable poncho might help, but with water coming at you from all directions, a thin layer of plastic rarely offers the kind of full-body coverage you need to stay completely dry. There are signs posted stating that shirts and shoes must be worn at all times, but you quite often see other guests take their shoes off and store them in the covered center console once they are aboard the raft. This console can also be used to store bags and other items. However, if you have electronics or anything else that shouldn't get wet, you are better off storing your goods in watertight bags, or better yet, the nearby lockers.
The lockers near the ride entrance are not free. You will need to pay at least $4 to rent the locker for 90 minutes. The price goes up if you want to rent the locker for a longer period. If you plan on riding other water rides in addition to Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges (such as Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls or Jurassic Park River Adventure), you should consider riding them all back-to-back-to-back to save money on lockers and ponchos.
UO Fan Guide Mini Review of Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges
Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges is by far the wettest water ride in Islands of Adventure, but it doesn't have the thrill factor that you get from the big drops on Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls and Jurassic Park River Adventure. Even without the plummets, it is a really fun ride, and the experience is unique because you get to watch the expressions on the faces of the people around you as they get soaked with water. The theming is also well done. The Sweet Haven area is visually interesting, and the barge ride gives you a unique view of the area.

Among friends we often discuss the best five films ever or five albums to bring to a desert island. Of course we also discuss what would be the dish you would eat if you only could pick one to have everyday for the rest of your life. The last question is a tricky one. You need to find a dish that is tasty, but it should also be one that you could vary so that you are not bored til death after the first week. My pick so far is meat fondue. It's delicious and variable.
The choice of starter is much easier for me. There is one starter that never disappoints me, Löjrom (vendace roe). The best roe comes from the water outside the small town Kalix in the north of Sweden but the americans also produce vendace roe. The roe has a salty, light fishy taste and should be served with sour cream, chopped red onion, lemon and either a blini or a potato cake. I prefer the latter one.
The Swedes are not the only fans of Löjrom. When the owner and star chef of El Bulli, Ferran Adrian, was asked to describe all players in Barcelona with a dish, he picked Löjrom to describe the new Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic (At this point the Catalans had high thoughts of the Swede).
If you have not yet tried this delicacy, this is one of the top reasons why you should pay Sweden a visit.
Löjrom, sour creme, red onion, potato cake
Ingredients for 4 persons
- 50 g Löjrom (vendace roe)
- 4 tsp sour creme
- 1 chopped red onion
- 3 potatoes
- 1 lemon
Grate the potatoes, make for small thin cakes flavoured with salt and pepper. Fry in a buttered pan. Serve the potato cake with sour creme, chopped red onion and Löjrom. Arrange with lemon.
Serve with a beer and a snaps. Enjoy!

The Louisiana legislature passed the Louisiana Public Defender Act of 2007 ("Act 307") on an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote with the expressed intent of ensuring that "all indigent criminal defendants who are eligible to have appointed counsel at public expense receive effective assistance of counsel at each critical stage of the proceeding," and "that the right to counsel is delivered by qualified and competent counsel in a manner that is fair and consistent throughout the state." The reforms included abolishing judicially-controlled local indigent defense boards in favor of an independent statewide board (Louisiana Public Defender Board; "LPDB") with regulatory authority to draft, promulgate, and enforce binding standards on attorney performance and workload, among others. But implementation of the changes has come slowly.
Though the legislature quadrupled state spending on indigent defense (from $7.5 million to $28 million in 2007), the depth of the pre-existing problems was so great that it has been difficult for Board policies to take root in all 41 judicial districts all at once. The cause of most of the lingering deficiencies can be traced to the unique funding mechanism devised by state policymakers to finance the right to counsel. Louisiana is the last remaining state to leave a significant percentage of funding for indigent defense up to the vagaries of whatever money happens to be collected each month through court costs – primarily traffic tickets – rather than putting defense providers through the same rigors of local or state budgetary processes as other important government agencies. The funding scheme has been labeled "unstable and unpredictable" by the Louisiana Supreme Court because there is no direct correlation between the ability of a jurisdiction to garner money through traffic tickets and the resources required to provide adequate defense services.
Calcasieu Parish (Lake Charles) was one of the areas battered by Hurricane Rita. In the aftermath of the storm, conditions at the public defender office - already facing a class action lawsuit spearheaded by the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) - got worse. Law enforcement officials appropriately focused resources on rescue/recovery efforts and securing public safety, in light of the unprecedented displacement of population to other parts of the state, rather than writing traffic tickets. Yet, these necessary law enforcement procedures for all intents and purposes left the public defender office in Lake Charles with no income. To date, the public defender office has yet to recover.
The Advocate reports that caseloads for public defenders are far above the standards set by the new statewide board. Though the District Attorney complains that the public defenders are only carrying 350-450 felonies each (or 200-300% of nationally recognized workload standards), LPDB reports that hand counts of public defender files show that lawyers are actually carrying caseloads that range from "661 to 2,794" cases per attorney.
Supporters of indigent defense reform in Louisiana were hopeful this would be the year that the problems in Calcasieu Parish would be addressed, with an anticipated increase of $6.6 million in state funding – much of which was to be targeted to the Lake Charles system. Thursday night, LPDB found out that $5 million of that increase was stripped out of the LPDB proposed budget because the state needs to re-direct money to clean up their shores due to the British Petroleum oil spill.
If there is a silver lining to this story, it is that the Calcasieu Parish public defender – armed with independence created by Act 307 – will stop taking cases starting August 1st until such time as they come into compliance with LPDB standards. And, the LPDB is taking their case directly to the statehouse, noting in a separate Advocate article that LPDB received a mere $50,000 of the $21 million dollars in 2009 federal stimulus monies paid to the state through its Commission on Law Enforcement (or less than a quarter of a single percentage point).

As Chief Executive Officer of Cellulac, I often write and speak on the creation and building of small, early-stage - sometimes pre-revenue, even debt-laden -- companies into larger commercial businesses.
This is based on the success I have had in 20+ years doing just that. So, I hope this email does not appear impertinent, or indulgent, by my imparting some thoughts on moving from 2017 to 2018.
You see I want to shine a spotlight on a few "unseen" threats that could potentially slow (or even STOP) your progress as you progress into early 2018…
The truth is, many business owners will unknowingly sabotage their chances of building a successful business.
This is something I see happening all the time…and yet, nobody really talks about it.
Because nobody realises when it's happening to them.
There are 3 hidden threats I want to deconstruct that have the power to poison and kill your business over the next 12 months:
Threat #1 - Bringing Your 2017 perceived realities "Stories" Into 2018
What do I mean by "stories"?
Picture a challenge or event that happens in your business:
- You didn't hit your monthly, quarterly or half year goal...
- You aren't bringing in the right customers…
- You aren't closing the right kind of deals…
- You aren't closing people on your sales calls…
In any event, there's often 2 parts:
- The TRUTH
- All the other stuff you tell yourself surrounding the actual truth. These are the perceived realities or stories.
As a human being, you are wired to make sense of things.
As a human being, you are wired to make sense of things.
Anytime something happens, you attach a meaning to it.
Here's the problem with that…
Most people are exceptional at looking at what DOESN'T work. And if left unchecked, these meanings can quickly snowball into full-blown "stories" you tell yourself why something isn't working.
- When you come up against obstacles in your business…
- When you aren't progressing as quickly as you'd like…
- When you aren't hitting the income goals each month…
...the story suddenly becomes:
- "What's wrong with me?" or
- "What's wrong with my business?"
It's one thing to identify the TRUTH of what isn't working in your business, so you know how and where to improve.
Just make sure you aren't surrounding the truth with a cloud of unnecessary or faulty meanings…because the stories you create will become JUST AS REAL to you as the event happening in your business.
To be clear, there IS value in looking at what didn't work last year, but if you live in those thoughts, you won't be able to move forward.
If you bring your negative stories from 2017 into 2018, is that going to help you create MORE success? Or less?
So, how do you make sure you're not bringing last year's stories with you into this year?
Follow these three basic steps:
- Pull apart your story and look at the TRUTH. ("This is what actually happened").
- Find the lesson you learned from the event. ("Here's what I have decided to do about it").
- Get closure. ("Resolve to make it happen")
As you move forward into 2018, it's important to do this audit, so you can create some empowering meanings, and give closure to what didn't work in 2017.
Threat #2 - Repeating What Hasn't Worked
Going beyond your financial audit, do your end-of-year strategy audit. Start by asking yourself what was GREAT in 2017.
- What are you proud of?
- What did you accomplish?
- What were you able to make happen (for you, your team, your clients, etc…)?
- What do you want to duplicate in the year ahead?
Then look at what didn't work so well:
- What did you hate? / What got you frustrated?
- Where were you challenged?
- Where did you get stuck?
- Maybe you didn't have a plan
- Maybe you didn't prioritise your business
- Maybe you didn't take care of yourself
Get clear on everything that didn't work in 2017.
Ask yourself:
- "What didn't work?"
- "What do I NOT want to repeat again?"
More often than not, you'll be able to see a pattern around the things that aren't working or the areas where you're stuck.
What do I mean by a pattern?
Take a look at the areas that didn't work in your business in 2017. Is there a theme or common denominator between two or more of these challenging areas?
The reason you're stuck in one area of your business may be the SAME underlying reason you're stuck in a different area.
So, it's critical to identify what isn't working, look for the PATTERNS, and then address that negative pattern.
Let me be clear:
In business (as in life),
You don't get what you "want."
- You don't get what you "need."
- You get what you SETTLE FOR.
If you have something in your business that's clearly not working, but you're willing to settle for that and tolerate it…then that's the pattern you'll repeat again and again.
The KEY is to ask yourself, "What do I really want to have happen?" What healthy, empowering patterns do I want to create?
Whatever isn't serving you, needs to be cut off and disposed of, so you don't repeat old patterns that keep you stuck.
Threat #3 - Not Having a Proven Plan
If you don't know where you're going…
If you don't have a proven plan to get you to the result you want…
…it can be a catastrophic threat to your business.
Just like a builder wouldn't construct a house without a detailed architects plan, you can't just 'wing it' and expect to build and scale a business.
Trust me, there is nothing more expensive in your business than TRIAL AND
- No matter what you've achieved in your business…
- No matter what you're trying to accomplish…
- No matter what goal you have in your sights…
If you're going to be building or scaling your business in 2018 and you don't have a plan, you're adding YEARS to your learning curve (and a COUNTLESS amount of money wasted) to figure out what someone already knows.
The first step to having a solid plan is to get crystal clear on the RESULTS you want for 2018.
At Real Business Secrets, I break the RESULTS down into 3 areas:
- The income you're making
- Your freedom and lifestyle
- The impact you're making
You have to be successful in ALL 3 of these areas.
If you're just making money, but you're working 80-hour weeks, then you're not having any fun.
If you have a ton of freedom, but no money - you're fun won't last very long.
And if you have BOTH money and freedom, but it isn't creating any kind of impact, then what you do will feel EMPTY.
It has taken me two decades and the creation of Real Business Secrets Executive Mentorship Program to allow me to provide you with a proven plan for building a huge business that allows you to be successful in all 3 areas.
If that's something you want…
If you're serious about creating a business model that provides income, freedom, AND impact…
If you want access to a team of experts to help guide you through a step-by-step proven process for building your business, (while arming you with the RIGHT mindset to push your business forward in 2018), reach out and I'd love to help:

All the best,

Coffee Shop Saturdays: Trade and Lore, Asheville, NC
We were scavenger hunting in Asheville, NC. It was a Groupon, smartphone, "see the city" game. Family bonding. Discover Asheville. All that.
The fun part about this particular activity was the city discovery aspect (the general consensus was the rest of it was a little boring).
Did you know Asheville has it's very own Wall Street?
Did you know, located on Asheville's Wall Street, there's a quaint respite for coffee and snacks called "Trade and Lore"?
We didn't either.
After wondering around Asheville, we were ready for coffee. And with a name which includes the word "lore" - I'm in.
For being a bit off the proverbial beaten path, Trade and Lore Asheville was a busy place. That said, there was plenty of seating. If the weather had been ever-so-slightly warmer, there would have been plenty of seating outside.
We found a table to accommodate the entire fam.
Trade and Lore also accommodated our eclectic variety of drinks, as well.
The baristas were friendly and knowledgable.
The product was perfect for our Ashevillian rest stop.
I don't know this - but, I'm suspicious the menu frequently changes. The drink selection was interesting to the point of being experimental. But, if so, the experiments were a raging success.
The son and I had our typical fair, an iced mocha and a single origin pour-over, respectively. I know the coffee I drank that day was from Ethiopia, with trademark floral and citrus. It was both subtle and bright. Most importantly, it satisfied.
Here's where things got interesting. Reneé ordered an iced fruit tea soda. It was a party in the mouth. Flavorful, crisp, and refreshing. Possibly, the most interesting tea I've tasted. The daughters went with flavored lattes, which also had an unusual flavor combinaitons (I can't remember what it was). Again, interesting and experimental, subtly sweet, and delicious.
I had to go back to order another cranberry muffin, as well. Reneé had to share her first one. It was a hit.
An eclectic lore-based gift shop sits at the back of Trade and Lore; selling unique and quirky, fitting well in the Asheville context.
There is another Trade and Lore located in the NoDa neighborhood in Charlotte, NC. Will be checking them out, as well, next time I'm over there.
When you go to Asheville, there are a lot of great coffee shops to choose from. But, I do recommend tracking down Trade and Lore.
You won't be disappointed.

Better - go there!

Globalvations.com, A Global Search Engine Focused On Innovation
Multilingual Global Marketing (MGM), a global consulting firm, just announced the launch Globalvations.com, a new search engine specifically focused on global innovations.
The search engine was founded by Malik Laibi, an Algerian entrepreneur currently based in Australia, and developed by SearchChannel, LLC of Oak Brook, Illinois. It currently indexes and categorizes thousands of highly relevant sites that deliver valuable information focused on the world of innovation, aiming to connect its visitors to new technologies, innovative companies, products and business opportunities throughout the world.
The simplistic interface allows visitors to search for editorials and news about a certain topic and industry or to look for startups, with the possibility to choose a specific industry of interest or to search across all industries.
The search results page is very straightforward, offering a listing of what was found and linking out to the respective sites and pages containing the information.
Explaining the idea behind the project, Malik Laibi says that "Working with clients internationally, we found the pace of change in the global marketplace speeds up every single day. With new technologies being introduced so rapidly, and with economies changing across the world, staying up to date on innovation is increasingly difficult. We saw an opportunity to create a global information tool in our search portal, Globalvations.com. For the user, we answer swiftly and directly one simple question: 'What are the most cutting-edge business and technology innovations that I should know about?'"
SearchChannel president William Furlong makes the point that "Globalvations.com offers only very specific, innovations-oriented content. Users stay up to date on what they're truly looking for: research, current news, upcoming conferences, and the actual technologies constantly turned out by the most reputable global businesses and institutions," and continued that they are "expressly excited about what this tool can do for entrepreneurs, business executives, scientists, government officials, academics, or just for the curious mind!"
Malik Laibi shared his plans to establish a base in the MENA region for Globalvations.com, and that he is currently looking for suitable partners in the region.

Columbus Weatherman Dies/
We knew it was coming, but it still doesn't make it any less sad.
Back in November FTVLive told you that WBNS (Columbus) Chief Meteorologist Chris Bradley had entered Hospice.
Sadly, Bradley has died.
Bradley was diagnosed with leukemia back in March of 2017 and by April, doctors thought they had gotten the cancer out of Bradley's body.
But, the cancer continued to grow inside him and he finally decided to end treatment and enter Hospice.
He died in his home yesterday and was just 53 years old.
