Hero dog saves Marin hiker from rattlesnake
A hero dog saved a hiker from stepping on a rattlesnake — and likely a devastating bite — on a trek Sunday at Mount Tamalpais State Park in Marin. For Father's Day, Diane Castañaon was out on a hike with her husband, John Forsyth of San Francisco. They picked the Matt Davis Trail out of Pantoll […] [Read More]

Here's a quick factoid for y'all! Did you know Owen Wilson once auditioned to play Cyclops in the X-Men movies?
Who else would've loved to see him give this role a shot? Owen doesn't get nearly enough opportunities to step out of his more comedic roles, and I think he would've knocked this role out of the park! Read the full article over at GeekTyrant!

I have a job where the P&ID's are already drawn in another program and i will be designing in Plant 3D (2013) off of them.
what is the best way to go about inputing line numbers into Plant 3D. for example a typical line number on this job would be PC01-EX-02303-1" (spec-service-number-size). i want to input this info into plant 3D, espically the service, so that i can apply layers by service.
Are the P&ID's being done in AutoCAD P&ID, but by another company? Or different software altogether?
"I have a job where the P&ID's are already drawn in another program"
Sorry, don't know how I missed that.
I would just setup the annotation to be the same as the P&ID, and then you can define each of the entries separately.
for the life of me i can't get to aquire the Service without doing an override which is not optimal.
Don't know if you have this answered...
I've had to do this before. I didn't figure out how to use the built in "Service" property in the way you'd like, so I just created another property (FluidCode since our PIDs were from SmartPlant) and propagated the information that way, then told P3D to layer by FluidCode. You shouldn't have an issue with setting up the tag structure to use the new property.
It seems we don't have much control over the "service" property unless it's through PID. Bypassing it made the most sense at the time, but that was on 2011 software.
You can edit the Service in P3D through DATA Manager, see attached procedure for more info

Innate Access Workshop
innate access
Innate Access
Most practitioners occasionally experience moments when they are able to 'sense' things that they cannot perceive through their standard 5 senses. During these times they are able to quickly locate precise areas that require care and perceive subtle signs of dysfunction, which they normally are not aware of.
What would practice be like if you could get access to exceptional subtle perception abilities anytime you wanted to? This would provide you with essential insights that could markedly improve the effectiveness of your care - and client satisfaction.
Stop Missing-Out on Essential Information!
The Access Workshop has been providing exceptional perception training since 1983.
The workshop teaches practitioners how to quickly extend their range of perception so they can detect important changes in a client's physiology that are too subtle to perceive using conventional methods of perception/assessment. This provides vital insights that can significantly increase the effectiveness of many techniques.
The ability to get access to an extended range of perception, at will, distinguishes exceptionally effective practitioners from the norm.
John Markham, D.C. - Executive Director of Level III Clinic Program at Life University
" I want to take a moment to thank you for an amazing seminar last weekend. I participated in several Access Workshops in the early and mid 1990's. At that time I felt the seminar then was the most important seminar I had ever taken.
I have to say the information and tools presented in the current seminar are even more amazing and the workshop has advanced so much that I feel anyone who thinks they know what the seminar is all about needs to attend and find out how to advance to the next level.
I was impressed how the information was presented so that it is so much easier for the student or new practitioner to become proficient right away and the experienced doctor can also advance their skills exponentially in the same workshop.
I realize many doctors consider their technique as part of their professional identity. I want those doctors to know that you will become better at their current technique by learning this work. Any chiropractor who would like to better understand and master the Innate part of the adjustment must get this training. Thanks again for continuing to provide what is for me the most important seminar I have ever taken."

Why Do Christians Worship Greed?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Please remember Frederick Douglass.
That is to say, remember the Frederick Douglass of "power concedes nothing without a struggle." And I'm not sure that the struggle with market fundamentalism has even been joined yet, at least not at the level of principle where it most needs friends.
Like old Simeon in Luke's gospel, I am one who hopes to live long enough to see the consolation of Israel. Only in my case that consolation would take the form of deliverance from the malignant free-market madness that US conservatives have successfully promoted for four decades. Known (and much loathed) abroad as the "American model," or the "Washington consensus," this is the Friedman-Greenspan regime of total deregulation wherein the public, in effect, subsidizes big capital to work its high-growth wonders to the ostensible benefit of us all -- that chimera known as the trickle-down effect.
Because Americans live in a kind of perceptual bubble -- a bubble related to but not identical to financial bubbles of recent memory -- we have never seen the full extent of the devastation wrought by the "Washington consensus" on the lives of others and on the life of the planet itself. We've never seen the effects of the global sweatshop up close; we've never seen what privatized water markets look like in places like Bolivia; we've never asked whether there might be a connection between NAFTA's effects within Mexico and the urgent need of Mexicans to reach El Norte, even risking death by dehydration to get here.
Free market fundamentalism seemed to work out pretty well for us. To be sure, we could see the enormous wealth beginning to concentrate at the top of our own society. But as long as enough trickled down to us plebeians (and as long as we could get easy credit to keep up with those Joneses) we were okay with it. It is only now that the latest and largest financial bubble has burst that we are beginning to break through our perceptual bubble to wonder whether entrusting our fates to self-interested and unregulated moneymen was really such a great idea.
But I would not count on, say, the bad odor now adhering to the word "banker" to lead to our deliverance from the bankers' grip. To imagine that we can escape their clutches automatically, as it were, is to pretend that they've not achieved a substantial ascendancy within the culture that goes well beyond mere financial ascendancy.
They still own the government, after all. Their image may be a bit tarnished, but just two weeks ago they scuttled a Senate bill that would have allowed busted homeowners to seek relief in bankruptcy court. As Sen. Dick Durbin told a hometown radio station apropos of this fight: "The banks -- hard to believe in a time when we're facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created -- are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place."
The free marketeers are also heavily invested in think tanks and academic centers that perpetuate the hegemony of neoliberal doctrine, and these institutions aren't going away any time soon. They likewise own the major news media -- and we might note here that the accelerating collapse of old-fashioned newspapering is bound to lead to even less real investigative scrutiny of their endless conniving and insider dealing.
And, to get to the point of this essay, they also own a significant part of religious thought in this country. They always have, inasmuch as Anglo-American Protestants could never quite decide how much to follow Jesus Christ and how much to follow John Locke. But fealty to high finance has doubtless gained market share among the religious in recent decades. Recall how Alabama's Republican governor, Bob Riley, a conservative Christian citing gospel principles, tried to bring some tax fairness to his state in 2003. Riley got smacked down hard by the Christian Coalition, which by that time had adopted "thou shalt not tax the rich" as its 11th Commandment.

Post-Sophomore FellowshipThe Department of Pathology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine offers special fellowships for US and Canadian medical students who have completed their second or third year of medical school and wish to spend an additional year of study before proceeding with their medical school education. This in-depth exposure to diagnostic and investigative aspects of pathology helps to expose students to various aspects of investigative, anatomic, and clinical pathology. The hope is to expand understanding of the role of pathologists in the health care team and to recruit some individuals for careers in pathology and laboratory medicine.
The Post-Sophomore program allows for flexibility according to individual interests. Students often spend 6-9 months in academic anatomic or clinical pathology practice with 3-6 months for research. Anatomic pathology generally involves autopsy and surgical pathology experience. Exposure to clinical pathology focuses on one or two of the 6 Divisions in the Section of Laboratory Medicine as well as participation in Division and Section conferences. A more research-intensive track is also possible with exposure to 3 months of diagnostic pathology. Investigative activities are conducted under the guidance of an established faculty mentor. Publication of research activity in abstract and manuscript form is an objective of the Fellowship.
Fellows receive a stipend of about $23,000 plus a supplement for insurance, books and journals, and are eligible for Program-supported travel to meetings to present original research.
The PSFP was competently filled from 2001 to 2007. This position was not recruited for in 2007-08, 2008-09 or 2009-10 but is now open for recruitment for 2010-11.
Students enrolled in this program are responsible for personal expenses such as housing, meals, and transportation. Affordable housing is available in neighborhoods close to campus and in nearby suburbs.

The bears' famous invasion of Sicily

Children's Fiction BUZZATI
What other readers are saying about this title:
KaliO said:
First published in 1947, author Dino Buzzati's sprightly fable chronicles a period of forgotten history in Sicily's ancient and noble past. During an especially frigid winter, starving bears leave their mountain home and come down to the valley, where humans dwell, in search of food and warmth. Led by valiant King Leander (who is also searching for his long-lost bear cub son Tony), handsome Saltpetre, Marzipan the inventor, and sharp-eyed Dandelion, the bears tackle an army of wild boars, ghosts, a sea serpent, the ruthless Grand Duke, and maybe-good maybe-bad Professor Ambrose. This colorful story is further brightened by a wryly intimate and teasing tone, stylish illustrations, a smattering of sweetly rhyming poems, and smartly drawn characters both animal and human. The New York Review Children's Collection is a series of previously out-of-print children's books republished and repackaged in attractive editions for new generations to enjoy. The editors picked a real gem with The Bear's Famous Invasion of Sicily and its remarkable ability to convey adult themes to young readers with subtlety and understanding. Talking animals may be a hallmark of children's literature, but The Bears' Famous Invasion of Sicily is a sophisticated, elegant little tale about war, corruption, courage, and humility that is as much intelligent allegory as it is whimsical fairy tale.

Teams as Stereotypical Pictures

Why Miguel Cabrera is an a-hole
Last week I did a playoff preview where I went through each team individually and tried to pick a favorite (and it looks like I'll be an honorary Coors Field Drunk for the rest of this month). I went through each of the playoff teams and decided that the Tigers were going to win the division. The Twins had something like a 5% chance of coming back and I didn't think they would do it. Here's what I said.
(Skipping the Twins. They aren't coming back.)
That's it. I didn't even feel the need to justify it and now they are in a one-game playoff for the AL Central title to be played tomorrow.
(Quick tangent on this: Each year the MLB holds a series of coinflips in the event of tiebreakers to decide the home team. The Twins won this coinflip. (As lar pointed out in the comments this has been changed, but the overall point still stands.) Now, why wouldn't the MLB look at the schedule and say "You know, we want these tiebreakers to take place on Monday. We don't want either team gaining an advantage and we want the playoffs to start on Tuesday. Even though you won the toss, if you can't have that game on Monday, we're going to have that game on Monday in Detroit. Sorry." How hard would that be? The playoffs take forever as it is, why add a day because Brett Favre unretired?)
So, the Tigers play the Twins in a four game series and they split it when everyone says the Twins need to win 3 of 4 to have a chance. Then they sweep the Royals while the Twins fall apart against the White Sox. WHY? Why does this happen? I don't really care about either team at all, but I don't like to be wrong. Who likes to be wrong? Who is responsible for me to possibly be wrong? Miguel Cabrera, that's who. Continue reading →

Haray Caray Preview Tonight's Game
Well, yesterday I promised you a very special guest writer today and here he is, HARRY CARAY!!!!!! Also, follow me on twitter!
Hello again everybody and welcome to the Miller Park Drunk game preview of the, uh, Cubs and Brewers live from, uh, Wrigley Field. *coughs* Lemme tell ya, being dead is tough business. Ho lemme tell ya. It a beautiful day for baseball here at Wrigley Field and the Cubs look to win their second straight against the Milwaukee Brewers. Boy could I go for another cold Budweiser right now, Steve. I remember one time we were in Milwaukee when I was announcing for the White Sox, lemme tell ya I had one too many Budweisers and I woke up in a place that, uh, I couldn't even pronounce the name of but it had those two, uh, those two dots over a couple of the letters and the worst part about it was I had no pants on! Holy cow. I much prefer to sleep in my own bed, but I guess that's what happens when you take a pill given to you by a stranger. Speaking of strangers, Steve, this woman came up to me that night and she told me she was a big Cubbies fan and then grabbed my package. She says to me, she says "Harry" and I said, "yes" and she says "is that your package in my hand?" and I looked her straight in the eye and says to her I says "It could be. It might be. It is!" I'm just pulling your chain there Steve. Man am I glad I was dead for that Bartman thing.
Hopefully the Cubs can get a win tonight and send some of these fans home happy. You know what makes me happy? Those Asian massage parlors, ho-ly cowww. Let's get some runs!

Supreme Court Will Hear NFIB's Health-Care Lawsuit

NFIB v. Sebelius: Small Businesses Closer to Resolution on Constitutionality of Health-care Law
WASHINGTON, D.C., November 14, 2011 -- The Supreme Court of the United States today announced that it has chosen, among numerous cases on the same topic, the challenge brought by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) as the case the Court will rule on to determine the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
NFIB/Texas Executive Director Will Newton and Karen Harned, executive director of NFIB's Small-Business Legal Center, issued the following statements in response to the news:
"Only 18 months after its passage, the new health-care law has been brought to the steps of the Supreme Court by America's small-business owners. For the small-business community, this comes not a day too soon," said Newton. "The health-care law has not lived up to its promises of reducing costs, allowing citizens to keep their coverage or improving a cumbersome system that has long been a burden to small-business owners and employees, alike. The small-business community can now have hope; their voices are going to be heard in the nation's highest court."
"This law not only failed the self-employed and small-business employees in practice, it has failed them in principle, forcing upon them an unprecedented mandate that infringes upon the individual rights that, truly, all Americans hold so dear," added Harned. "After months of uncertainty and frustration, small-business owners are finally within the reach of some clarity on how this law will ultimately impact their lives and their livelihoods. We are confident in the strength of our case and hopeful that we will ultimately prevail. Our nation's job-creators depend on a decision being reached before the harmful effects of this new law become irreversible."

There will be two perspectives to this story "Ty's and Lesette's" told in two different links but they will keep up will each either and be the same story just each told in the others head. So with no further a-due and enjoy.
Screams rang loud and lose bouncing off the nearby cobble streets. Gun shots rang out from all corners and were fallowed all too closely by the familiar sounds of bodies hitting the pavement. Smoke billowed out of buildings and filled the air with a nexuses smell that made Ty want to just stop breathing all together. For once it wasn't Ty's fault that people were dying and it held a strange sensation. Knowing for once that the people he saw and herd dying were dying from another's hands. Looking around him he saw dozens upon dozens of the frozen upturned faces of fear that lay still on the street. He could hardly breathe as he looked at each one. They all had a story, a life, and a place in the world and yet now those things were gone. They were as Meaningless as the cold un-breathing bodies that surrounded him. Looking at them made him think of the past. Of Margret the woman he had used for his unsettling needs until she was dead and dry with nothing left to give. Of Daniel the farmer boy who so graciously decided to show the new comer his way around only to be found with a broken neck hours later. Or of Tanya blue blood who thought of Ty as a toy she could woo till her hearts content and then do away with. Yet she had been the one thrown away used simply as a means to tying a loose ends. No one was sacred to him and he didn't mind it. But that had changed the moment she was there. In his world soul mates happened but they were only allowed to the select few who had been good longer then he had been alive. Many of his kind wished for one daily praying to him asking for forgiveness for being cast down. Not Ty, he knew the dangers that came with being his sold mate. How others of his kind would hunt her just because he was lucky enough to have one and they all wanted more. How other of his kind would envy her for him choosing her and how being a soul mate brought with it special gifts. Gifts no one else had and was usually something Lucifer or God could use at the moment. Funny part was not God nor did Lucifer determine if it was time for you to get a soul mate. It was the fates, the all seers between the worlds that knew past, present, and the future. They were cruel and kind and always there. The moment you didn't need one they popped up and the second you did they would stay away. Ty never thought he would be grateful towards them for they were why he was who he was. But as he reached her house standing there looking at her threw the window he knew now more then ever he had been wrong.
Views: 16
Chapter 1
Slowly Ty knocked on the window begging for just a glance. It was all he could do not to smash the window and take her far away from here. Far away from all the gore that now surrounded them. Slowly she turned and looked at him curage shone threw her eyes and then he felt the bullet hit him. Had she shot him? why had she done that, had the fates bonded him with a crazy person. They did say it was the pretty ones you had to look out for. An she was by far the prettiest girl he had ever seen with her dark black hair. And that was saying somthing because he had been around since the 1400s. Slowly he saw her run to the window and look at him. "Oh no." I herd her whisper. "Oh no your not in a uniform you wern't here to capture me were you." she cried. This is perfect I thought to myself. This is my chance to get in good graces with her. I played it up and slowly shook my head. I let the blood drain from my face let more blood poor out and allowed myself to slowly black out. The last thing I saw was her hand on my face.

The opinions expressed are her own.
Americans shop. It's what we do. It's who we are. We're still an economy powered by consumer spending – 70 percent of it, in fact. It's an article of faith, for some, that annual Thanksgiving celebrations not only include turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce, but lining up in the cold and dark at their favorite store to snag a Black Friday bargain.
Maybe not this year.
Spurred perhaps by the growing national strength of the Occupy Wall Street movement, two emboldened Target workers, Anthony Hardwick, of Omaha, NE and Seth Coleman, a dockworker from Northfield, MN have collected 180,000 signatures protesting their employer's unprecedented decision to open their stores to shoppers at midnight. Coleman delivered a bag of signatures gathered on-line to Target headquarters in Minneapolis earlier this week.
Coleman will be working at the Target store in Northfield on Thanksgiving Day, from 4 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Then he'll return 12 hours later, to make sure the shelves are stocked for the company's first ever midnight opening for the Christmas rush, reported Minnesota Public Radio.
There is also some talk of retail workers taking a sick-out to protest retailers' demands that they leave their own holiday meals in order to be work by midnight or earlier.
Retailers routinely excuse their escalating demands, such as this year's ever-earlier Black Friday store openings, because their competitors are doing it. They'll lose business, they argue, if they don't follow the herd. Retailers defend all corporate decisions — no matter how detrimental they may be to their indispensible low-wage workers or how unpopular they may be with shoppers newly sensitized to the needs of the 99 percent. Retailers claim it's alright because they have to protect shareholders' interests by keeping profits high and hitting their quarterly projections.

in preventing the old "reader's neck pain." It takes
a little to get used to it, but it works fine. The
materials, mostly metal, are well made and sturdy.
Works better with normal sized hard cover books because
they are larger than paperback books. We might consider
another one of these items since we have more than one

Amazing product! I read a lot - and this has great flexibility - I can align the book (each page, both the left and the right) in less than a second to be directly in front of my eyes. Active Forever's service is AMAZING - give them a call - they are SO friendly :D1/9/2013 7:28 AMWas this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)
I was sceptical at first; it seemed expensive. But when I received the product (ahead of the promised delivery date), I could see why it was priced as it is: construction is first-class; it's easy to use, robust, firm and extremely fit for the purpose, as advertised. Would certainly recommend. Thanks!1/9/2013 7:28 AMWas this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)

DES (diethylstilbestrol)
A synthetic, nonsteroidal estrogen that was prescribed to many women until the early 1970s. It was thought to prevent or treat problems with pregnancy. However, female fetuses that were exposed to DES developed serious problems in their reproductive organs when they became adults. About 1/4th of exposed women develop anatomical problems with their cervix or vagina. Examples of these are underdeveloped cervix, small uterine cavities and abnormal fallopian tubes. These women are also more likely to have ectopic pregnancy, preterm labor, miscarriage and incompetent cervix. Women whose mothers took DES during pregnancy should mention this fact to their obstetrician so that potential problems can be identified and treated.

I wanna be a tester . I have an iTouch 2G (no multitasking while unjailbroken).
Im curious why when I attempt to update to 4.0 Beta iTunes Crashes when it says verifying with apple
Is your iTunes IP pointed at Apple? Some people have changed it to point to saurik's server which won't verify 4.0 at the moment.
Hmmm I've always considered becoming a registered dev.. I dono though...
If you don't know what pointing your IP address is then I guarantee that you haven't changed it. Try reinstalling iTunes perhaps. Try getting on the Apple support pages and see if others are having a similar issue.
Have you used iTunes to downgrade your iPhone recently?
I would like to become a tester for 4.0 beta. Please pm me if you have an open spot on your account that I can pay for. Thank you.
error 13 seems to be happening to alot of people. would someone confirm this will ONLY install usuing a Mac and 10.6.3, and the newest iTunes of course.
question is, if Leopard is installed on an older machine; PPC, would itunes allow you to install?
some only have windows machines and can not install this. personally, i am in that boat. updated to 3.1.3 to get 4.0 to install and error 13 keeps happening.. now i am stuck on 3.1.3. i have my UDID stored and everything is fine with that...
@Santaf: i know, thats what i said, but i still want the 4.0 beta . Anyone want to sign my UDID? :P
I still have an original iPhone so no need for me! Interesting info and you guys are awesome at helping others out. I'm still waiting for a release date of the new iPhone before I upgrade. Any day now! At least that's what I keep telling myself.
A couple questions, first,
"10. Will this Beta version expire?
Yes. Apple traditionally releases several beta versions before the final public release. Older Beta versions will expire very soon after the replacement is released and you will be forced to upgrade to the most current beta."
Will i have to use a mac machine to do this, or will apple let me use a windows machine after my beta expires?
Also, will devs update their app early to allow 4.0 beta users to run their apps with backgrounding, or am I not gonna be able to try out stuff like pandora with music backgrounding and so on?
I've got a spot from Stealth, but I'm not sure how to proceed. I can't find a working torrent anywhere for the 3Gs......assistance anyone?
I'm also interested in the Windows 7 issue as well.
yes, i had several problems installing but i came to figure a few things out.
- my iTunes was not completely updated. once it was, the update went through fine.
before that though, it gave a 2005 ERROR. I probably restored my phone 10 times yesterday, all because my iTunes wasnt updated. (i totally had forgot until the last time -- because modmyi said dont update iTunes, you may be unable to sync your jailbroken phone again)
- i read somewhere that switching the USB ports to the next one over and trying again has ACTUALLY solved many peoples problems. Not sure which mac theyre talking about, but I would give it a shot just for the heck of it since at this point you have nothing to lose but time.
- downgrading is most likely the same as any other firmware, except that you probably must put your phone into DFU mode before restoring. its going to be a pain in the a if you want to downgrade from 3.1.3 to 3.1.2 (if thats what you were jailbroken at before all of this) because THATS where the rerouting business goes on, and THATS also where the problems with syncing come into play.
- also, if your install isnt going through correctly, make sure that the NAME of the FILE of the firmware is EXACTLY as provided from the Apple Dev Center. Some have renamed it, and (i believe) this is not making it work. The only filename I have is the 3GS' because thats the only firmware I need anyway. Heres the exact file name for that file:
3GS: iPhone2,1_4.0_8A230m_Restore.ipsw
good FAQ poseidon! if i were you, id probably add on your list of questions that iPhone 3G, 2G and iPod Touches 2nd gen and below will not have multitasking but will still have OS 4.0 and other features.
Guys, 4.0 is very buggy right now. when I say "very", i truly mean VERY. If I were you guys, I would hold off until beta 2, because that is where a lot of the crashing problems go away (of course there are still other bugs, not as bad as the beta 1 ones). Ive had to hard-reset my phone 10 times yesterday. oddly enough, battery drainage is a little awkward as well-- its draining more than usual.
For downgrading you just need to go in dfu and click restore + alt (mac) or shift (windows) and select your previous firmware
Then it will give you error 1015
Once then you close iTunes and run blackra1n untill it either shows just a black screen or geohot's face and then you reboot (don't let Blackra1n complete because you won't be able to receive phone calls anymore then)

Lyrics & Chords
oh no, everything is building up again.
oh no, my heads filling up with shit again.
why did i assume the role of society's recycle bin?
soaking in all the daily bullshit just to spit it back out again,
hoping it makes more sense to you coming out, than it did to me going in.
thats the cycle i seem to find myself in,
the struggles of a nobody trying to figure out everything.
when if you've figured out one thing you've figured out everything
because everything seems to figure out to nothing.
and i swear to god i'm not just bitching,
i'm desperately trying to figure out why we're in the bullshit we're in.
this doesn't have to be our lives,
open your mind to the pyramid eye.
why do we accept the lies?
why do we accept the lies?
and it seems like theres nothing we can do,
seems like theres nobody honest to turn to,
everything is as temporary as me and you,
seems like lying is the only way people tell the truth.
when our presidents just a puppet for a prestigious few,
trained and maintained to lie to you.
it drives me insane to see the clues,
screaming from the bottom of the pyramid, no one can hear you.
it's sad, our reality.
i cant even imagine how great things could be.
we've been prisoners made to believe
that we are free.
and so many getting fucked still seem so happy
like they slipped everyone but me a roofie.
hey….where's my roofie?
this doesn't have to be our lives,
open your mind to the pyramid eye.
why do we accept the lies?
why do we accept the lies?
back when cigs were three dollars a pack,
when we complaining about dollar and one cent gas,
back when the twin towers were still intact,
back when our president was just laying women on their backs.
now our presidents got men dying in iraq.
back when terror was just a halloween tactic.
now we're always terrified,
stupified and desensitized.
back when i didn't think about any of this
when my eyes were closed and everything was bliss.
since my eyes opened all i've seen is shit
set too far in motion to do anything about it.
so we wait for the end feeling powerless,
and i wish i could go back to staring at my eye lids.
when i didn't know it was as bad as it is.
i wanna go back to being a kid.

Workman utility meets power and convenience
The foundation of Kawasaki's full-size industrial-grade utility vehicle line, the two-wheel drive Mule™ 4000's full-size chassis and more powerful, digital fuel injection (DFI®) equipped engine offers a step up in cargo and towing capacity from the compact Mule 600 series. The Mule 4000 also features a fully-automatic transmission, locking rear differential and a tilting cargo bed.
The Mule 4000's liquid-cooled 617cc four-stroke V-twin engine is managed by a digital Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and features a DFI system that compensates for variations in atmospheric pressure, engine and air temperature. The result is smooth and consistent power, easy starting, crisp throttle response and precise fuel metering, which helps reduce fuel consumption. The ECU incorporates an automatic fast idle speed control that activates when the engine is cold, eliminating the need for a manual choke. Its electronics also regulate maximum engine speed, eliminating the need for a mechanical governor.
The Mule 4000 harnesses a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to provide quick acceleration and efficient pulling power. Dependable, low-maintenance shaft drive transfers power to a dual-mode differential that can be locked to maximize rear-wheel traction, or unlocked to improve handling and minimize ground disturbance when making tight turns.
Like the accurate, light-steering rack-and-pinion system, the easy-to-operate controls on the Mule 4000 are equally user-friendly and positioned to maximize comfort and convenience. The gear selector is located on the dash within easy reach and the headlights are activated by a simple push-button switch. Instrumentation includes an easy-to-see coolant temperature warning light, an hour meter and a horn. The convenient air restriction gauge indicates when the Mule 4000 needs air filter cleaning or replacement. Located underneath the seat, the fuse box and oil dipstick are easily accessed, making maintenance chores a cinch.
The Mule 4000 also fields a roomy cab that's surrounded by the large-diameter steel tube frame structure. With its modern and rugged bodywork, the Mule 4000 is a natural in a tough pickup truck work environment. Its body panels are manufactured from a durable, color-molded plastic, which helps hide minor scuffs and scratches. The front hood can be opened with the pull of a dash-mounted knob and allows access to a deep storage space that's equipped with convenient D-rings to help secure cargo.
Additionally, two levers make opening and closing the tailgate a secure and easy process. The convenience factor on the Mule 4000 extends beyond easy-access latches or controls; it can also boast of owner-friendly features like the winch-ready tabs located under the front grille, which greatly-simplify the winch mounting process.
The Mule 4000 chassis includes a ladder-type frame riding on a DeDion type rear leaf-spring suspension, which is designed to carry heavy loads yet provide a smooth ride when the cargo bed is empty. MacPherson struts handle front suspension duties and provide a good balance of comfort and load capacity. Sealed, self-adjusting hydraulic drum brakes at all four wheels offer progressive stopping power, and large 23-inch tires at all four corners provide maximum traction for a variety of surfaces.
The Mule 4000 utility vehicle can carry 800 pounds in its steel cargo bed and tow up to 1,200 pounds when equipped with the optional draw bar. Other popular accessories include an enclosed cab, cab heater, snow plow, and soft or hard tops. These and many other Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers.

The critical care clinical fellowship training period is for one year. A combination of fellowships can be planned in sequence. Two years is the minimal amount of time needed to complete both a trauma and critical care fellowship. Opportunities to pursue research in trauma and critical care do exist if an individual is interested in further research activities within these fields.
The critical care fellow will be primarily responsible for supervising our critical care service as a senior trainee. The service includes a PGY2 surgery resident, a PGY2 emergency surgery resident, and a PGY1 surgery resident. The SICU fellow works in a system of graduated responsibility. As the year progresses, the fellow is given more independent activity over the supervision, but remains in a cooperative staffing role with the critical care faculty. The faculty consists of six surgeons with added qualifications in Surgical Critical Care and two anesthesiologists with critical care qualifications. The fellow will have the opportunity to work with the entire faculty.
Our SICU is a 22-bed unit that admits all surgical cases. The SICU service is responsible for the patient's care while in the SICU. We function as a consulting service and work closely with the patient's primary surgical service to provide an entire management plan. We admit approximately 1,000 SICU patients annually and the SICU service provides some degree of care to all of them.

Elder abuse, like domestic violence and child abuse, comes in many forms. It is recognized by experts as a public health crisis for which there are no socio-economic borders. Millions of older Americans are abused, neglected, or exploited each year, with an estimated 84% of cases going unreported.
June 15, 2011, is the 6th Annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) - an international effort in support of the United Nation's International Plan of Action on Ageing acknowledging the significance of elder abuse as a public health and human rights issue. The Administration on Aging (AoA) participated in the first international observance of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day in 2006, hosted by the World Health Organization. AoA is honored to once again publicly observe World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, putting abuse and neglect of older persons in a global spotlight.
On June 15th, Assistant Secretary for Aging, Kathy Greenlee, will join members of Congress, officials from the Department of Justice, and internationally recognized experts and advocates in the field of elder justice for an Elder Abuse Forum on Capitol Hill. The bi-partisan Congressional Victims' Rights Caucus is hosting the Elder Abuse Forum, one of many events taking place around the world to call attention to elder abuse, neglect and financial exploitation.
AoA has a long history of working to prevent and address the issues surrounding elder abuse. Since 1972, the National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program has provided consumer advocacy and complaint resolution for residents of long-term care facilities. The 1988 reauthorization of the Older Americans Act provided for state formula grants to address elder abuse, as well as established the National Center on Elder Abuse, a national resource center that for over 20 years has provided information and technical assistance about elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation issues and programs.
This administration is committed to fighting elder abuse through the Elder Justice Act, which was signed into law by President Obama last year. The passage of the Elder Justice Act was a significant move forward. This legislation provides the first-ever authorization of Federal resources for adult protective services demonstrations to test the best methods of identifying, responding to, and preventing elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. In fact, the President's 2012 Budget proposes $15 million in first time funding for this purpose, as well as, $1.5 million in first time funding to address these challenges in Native American communities.
In addition to much needed financial resources, the effort to end elder abuse is critically dependent on the commitment and partnership between government agencies and community organizations, such as law enforcement, adult protective services, aging services providers, and faith-based organizations, as well as individual personal commitments to the cause. Each of us plays a crucial role in advocating for the safety and well-being of seniors, and through our collaborative efforts it is possible to protect and empower this population and to bring more offenders to justice for their crimes.
Today, individuals and organizations across the world are urged to raise awareness of the various types of abuse to which older individuals are subjected. Let World Elder Abuse Awareness Day of 2011 be a renewal of a life-long commitment to creating communities that safeguard and protect one of our greatest assets, our elders.
Learn more about this day and how you can do your part to end elder abuse.

These are quotes tagged with "right-and-wrong".Add to my favourites Get these quotes on a PDF
Being right is highly overrated. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Win or lose; succeed or fail; proven right or proven wrong, the sun will still rise. Regardless of whether or not you are wrong or right, the sun will still rise.
There's a right and there's a wrong but if they separate why do they come together?

Never mind; we all have brain but not intelligent.
Misunderstanding and disappointment is living base;
Harassment and mischievousness why do we face?
Is someone responsible somewhere for this dent?
Is hell or heaven a living standard an approachable hint?
We waste our present to plan tomorrow or to analyse yesterday,
We never estimated our progress but celebrating a birthday,
The entire life education fails to teach us mankind,
But modern human is living in a ghost tent.
Eats smell and spreads stink but not avoiding mint.
living in waste; searching better taste for standard living,
never learns a lesson, crime is his fashion for care giving,
Why do i disturb others and like sound sleep for more relax?
Always looking short cuts and direct rout for a clean shaving.
