Canadian firms targeted in cyber espionage

THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO
MONTREAL - Small Canadian defence contractors and human rights groups have been targets of cyber espionage, part of a global trend in which attackers try to steal the "crown jewels" of information, says software security company Symantec Corp.
Sensitive emails, intellectual property, research and development, contracts and documents and merger and acquisition information are all targets, Symantec's Eric Chien said in an interview.
"We would definitely characterize it as cyber espionage, going into companies via the Internet and onto their computers and basically spying for information," said Chien, technical director, security and response for Symantec.
"What we're talking about, really, are the crown jewels of any organization."
No companies were named in the report on cyber espionage titled the "Elderwood Project," released Friday by California-based Symantec. The name comes from a piece of source code, or programming language, used by the attackers.
Canada had 35 organizations with 82 computers hit by cyber espionage since August 2011, the second most attacks out of 10 countries including Australia, India, United States plus Hong Kong, Symantec said.
The United States led the way with 216 organizations targeted with 678 computers infected since August 2011.
Chien said Symantec suspects that a nation state, or a group of attackers hired by a nation state are responsible, but added he doesn't know what country would be behind the attacks.
The attackers can be anywhere on the globe and are usually men in their 20s with a university education, he said.
There's also a possibility that a large cyber crime organization could be responsible, he added.
In both Canada and the United States, most of the companies targeted for cyber espionage were smaller defence companies.
"We're not seeing the big name contractors. We're seeing the people who may be supplying parts to those big names and there's lots and lots of those types of defence contractors out there," Chien said.
"The second biggest groups targeted are human rights organizations and that pattern sort of matches Canada as well."
Symantec only cited Amnesty International's Hong Kong site as being attacked.
The cyber spies used what's called a "zero day" vulnerability, which finds a weakness in a software program, such as Adobe Flash or Microsoft Internet Explorer, and allows malware to be installed on a computer to gain access to its information.
This is considered uncommon because of how difficult it is to do, Chien said.
The attackers used eight "zero day" vulnerabilities, which "in our world is what we call a big thing," he said.
The cyber spies also used what's known as a "watering hole" attack. That identifies a website an employee would frequently visit, finds a vulnerability on the website and allows the attacker to insert a piece of source code which sends the user to a hacked website. This allows malware to be installed on the user's computer and it becomes infected, Symantec said.
They also did "spear phishing" which sends an email with an attached document that appears legitimate, which can also put a trojan horse on a computer to gain unauthorized access to it.
While hackers stealing credit card numbers still make up the vast majority of cyber crime, Chien said the impact of an organization losing valuable information is "much, much, much" greater and could hobble it.
Chien said Symantec doesn't know if all of the cyber espionage attacks have been fully successful, but added the attackers are extremely persistent and they don't give up.
"If they fail the first 900 times and they succeed on the 901st time, they still win."

Blu-ray players give you lots of entertainment options. They'll play high-definition Blu-ray discs (including 3D movies, in some cases), regular DVDs, and CDs. And a growing number of players stream video from Internet sites such as Netflix, giving you access to the world of on-demand entertainment. With prices now starting as low as $100 or so, it's no surprise that Blu-ray players are pushing standard DVD players to the sidelines. It makes sense to consider a DVD player only if you have an older, standard-definition TV and don't expect to upgrade soon. (We no longer test standard DVD players, but you can get buying advice here.)

E-book readers are portable devices, usually with display screens optimized to show the electronic text of digital books.

It was a celebration for the ages, and why not; this Red Sox team wasn't supposed to win the World Series.
But as we've seen before, celebrations like this can get out of hand.
Videos from Wednesday night's celebrations show revelers flipping over a car on Boylston Street.
And now the state police have released these photos, showing what seems to be the young men responsible for overturning the vehicle belonging to Chad Duncan, who spoke about the senseless violence, "just doesn't make sense why people have to do that. I understand you have fun, go out, but there's no reason to flip cars over."
Police were out in force throughout the night, which can be seen in a video that appeared on LiveLeak.com, which shows officers thwarting an attempt to flip another car over.
All in all, only 12 arrests made in the aftermath of the World Series, but State Police are asking for the public's help in making a few others, and if you recognize any of the people in the pictures, you are asked to contact Massachusetts State Police.

A big welcome to Darynda Jones who is here with a scene featuring Charley and Reyes that didn't make it into SIXTH GRAVE ON THE EDGE, Charley Davidson #6 (published on May 20, 2014 by St. Martin's Press). Want to win a copy? Enter via the widget below. Also, fair warning – spoilers for the fifth book in the series!
Behind the Scenes with Charley and Reyes
Darynda Jones
When last we left Charley and Reyes, Charley had just received a sticky note with a very important question on it.
Flabbergasted, I walked back to the kitchen where Reyes was stir-frying a pan of cubed chicken for quesadillas. Green chili sad heating on the stove next to it, and the whole room was alive with the tangy scents of Mexico.
"What is this?" I asked, holding up the sticky note.
While he didn't take his eyes off his task, one corner of his mouth lifted playfully. "It's a simple yes/no question, Dutch."
"But— But, it's THE question."
"Is it?" he asked, tossing the chicken about. The way his hands deftly handled the simple task was rather mesmerizing. His forearms chorded with each movement, sensuous under his dark skin.
"You know it is." I stepped back and examined him. There was something about a man in an apron. Or maybe it was just Reyes in an apron, because our other cook Sammy had never made my insides clench at the sight of him in his. "This is serious business, Reyes Alexander Farrow."
"I'm well aware of that Charlotte Jean Davidson." My name said with his deep, rich voice, weakened my knees.
"And you have to mean it," I said.
He set the chicken aside and turned to look at me. A lock of his obsidian hair fell over his brow, his brown eyes shimmering underneath.
"You think I don't mean it. Is that the problem?"
"No. Well, yes. I mean, you can't take this back once you throw it out there."
He stepped closer and hooked a finger into a loop on my jeans. Pulling me toward him, he said, "I have no intentions of taking it back."
I stuffed the note into his shirt pocket as he wrapped his arms around me.
"Why don't you think about it first? You know, put some effort into it. Maybe make a list."
"A list?" he asked, seeming amused.
"Yes. A pros-and-cons thing. Weight the good with the bad. See which one wins."
His fingers dove into my hair, holding me steady as his head dipped until his mouth was at my ear. He waited a long moment, brushing his lips over my lobe, sending his warm breath along my neck. Then he whispered to me, his words almost harsh, they were filled with such passion. "I have waited for you for centuries, Dutch. Since before the invention of the compass and the discovery of electricity, when men thought they were the center of the universe and the sun bowed at their command. And I will continue to wait until the stars burn out and the universe goes cold and black if that's what it takes. The only list I need to make is the one noting all the reasons it took me so long to find you."
After a long moment, he gave me a soft squeeze then let me go.
I fished out the note and palmed it as though it were a precious artifact. "Okay, then," I said, before turning to leave. "Just making sure."
"Is that a yes?" he asked, his voice teasing.
I drew in a cool breath of air, calming my senses enough to face the world. "I'll get back to you," I said without turning around. I had to play at least a little hard to get.

Tour-wide giveaway of 5 signed copies of Sixth Grave on the Edge
SIXTH GRAVE ON THE EDGE by Darynda Jones
Available on May 20, 2014 by St. Martin's Press
Few things in life can come between a grim reaper and her coffee, but the sexy, sultry son of Satan is one of them. Now that Reyes Farrow has asked for her hand, Charley Davidson feels it's time to learn more about his past, but Reyes is reluctant to open up. When the official FBI file of his childhood abduction lands in her lap, Charley decides to go behind her mysterious beau's back and conduct her own investigation. Because what could go wrong?
Unfortunately, another case has fallen into her lap—one with dangerous implications. Some very insistent men want Charley to hunt down a witness who is scheduled to testify against their boss, a major player in the local crime syndicate. If Charley doesn't come up with an address in 48 hours, the people closest to her will start to disappear.
Add to that a desperate man in search of the soul he lost in a card game, a dogged mother determined to find the ghost of her son, and a beautiful, young Deaf boy haunted by his new ability to see the departed as clearly as he sees the living, and Charley has her hands full. The fact that Reyes has caught on to her latest venture only adds fuel to the inferno that he is. Good thing for Charley she's used to multi-tasking and always up for a challenge…especially when that challenge comes in the form of Reyes Farrow.

I love Charley's humor, her love of coffee, Reyes, the chemistry between the two,…..I just love ALL of it!!!!
One of my top favorite series. Not only are Charley and Reyes great but I also love several of the secondary characters.

Ahhhhh….i hoped it made it to the book…but im still grateful we got to see it
one of my favorites series of all time – there are no dull spots/chapters, do dull back stories.

Wish you had the 2 step model. 1 step is barely below the bumper on my Dodge Ram which works for me but unless the truck is on an incline it doesn't really help my wife lol, made a second step with a U shape of 1/2" steel pipe and bolted it on, works great. Did drill a few holes in the back mounting plate to flush it up flat on the tailgate but not a problem since I already had the drill out and the kit comes with a drill bit so you don't dull yours. Very handy step!

ALBANY, N.Y. - Governor Cuomo has approved a plan for the
Albany Capital Center, after years of planning and numerous designs.
Work on the new convention center will begin in June 2014
near Eagle and Howard Streets in the city's downtown.
For nearly a decade a plan has been in the works to
revitalize downtown Albany by building a large scale convention center, but
after numerous proposals failed to meet the Governor's approval, a scaled back
plan passed the test.
The design of the 82,000 square foot facility will
consist of meeting rooms, a ballroom and a kitchen. Cuomo says it will create
more than 150 permanent jobs.
The project is funded through a grant and will cost around
$66 million.
Owner of Jack's Oyster House and Convention Center Authority
member Brad Rosenstein says the new design is fiscally responsible.
original plan was really incredible and would have been the best case scenario
but with the economy the way that it was we just didn't have unlimited funds,"
said Rosenstein.
Originally, the plan would have cost $220 million which
would have put the convention center behind Broadway and included a hotel.
Sherri Brooks, a member of the Albany Convention Center
Authorities said no new state money will be used for the project.
"Once the construction on this project is done this
will be a great addition to the local businesses," said Brooks. "It will draw
people to the area. It will create customers."
The project is expected to take about two years to
said a plan to physical link the center to the Empire Plaza, the Times Union
Center and the newly remodeled Dewitt Clinton Hotel is being finalized.

Previous Day's Reflection Next Day's Reflection Go to Today's Reflection
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:2)
Today is the Feast of All Saints. This feast day has held several meanings for me, a cradle Catholic, but today it has a fresh meaning. Today it brings to mind the precious first graders whom I have the privilege to spend time with twice each week. This first Beatitude from today's Gospel could be their slogan.
Sure, I say this because they come from some of the poorest communities in the United States. And, sure, I say this because they still have the blessing of childlike humility when we speak of God. But, don't get me wrong, more than one of them can throw a dandy fit, and one of them has a tough-guy strut that kind of scares me sometimes.
But this All Saints Day, I am remembering a talk I recently heard. The speaker explained that to be "poor in spirit" is to live as though God is doing your breathing. "Respiration" has the same root as "spirit." To be poor in spirit is to know that each breath is not our doing, but the gift of a benevolent God.
This is why I am thinking about my first graders, and I call this their slogan because of how beautifully they meditate. We've been working on it since the first day of school. "Right hand up; place it on your heart; shut your eyes; now breathe …" We practice slowly lengthening the out-breath until they are calm. Some days we just sit quietly then. Other days we might listen to music or a guided meditation. Once in awhile we lie on our backs in prayerful silence, eyes still shut, and we imagine we are finding shapes in imaginary clouds floating over us. It is way too much fun to debrief that experience!

Bush is at it again. This time he calls birth control such as pills and gizmos applied to women as abortions. Hillary has labeled this as an insult to women and for the first time in all these years, I have to agree with her.
9 Responses to "Birth Control is abortions."
Rx: MYOB, disp ad lib. Sig: As needed for nose problems.
Of course, once abortion became a federal issue it was only a matter of time before any contraceptive question became a federal matter as well. Camel with its nose under the tent, and all that.
Most sincerely,
T. J. Flapsaddle
O for Pete sakes. It never ends does it? The GOP has made an absolute fortune on the "pro life" issue. The problem with the GOP is that once one leaves the birth canal all bets are off.
Bush is pro life except when it comes to executing more people than any sitting governor in the history of this nation. Or attacking Iraq.
There is a tombstone, somewhere in Baghdad, that describes the loss of a 7 month fetus who never saw the light of day due to a bomb. So Dubya, if a bomb falls on a pregnant woman is that a legal abortion?
We now have pharmacists who can decide not to fill birth control prescriptions.
The same people wringing their hands at dispensing birth control and condoms are the same people carping about "payin' for all them illegitimate bastard babies"
Personally, I believe this country could use a healthy dose of "mind your own business"
The neocons need a bigger Army Sandra.
G.w.B is talking about his version of The China Syndrome.
Imagine this, in 18 yrs. an army of disenfranchised orphans and wards of the government trained to carry out any and all type of genocide foriegn and domestic.Good little tax payers and they can shoot too. Hee Hee.
Big Bro has your back, now eyes front. Hee Hee.
Your poster boy for what happens for lack of a condom has spoken. HACK!
Heh,heh,heh. You could be right Bryan.
What did it take to get alcohol prohibited? That was the camel's nose under the tent. Now our congress is spending months discussing drugs and obese children. All this points to more prohibitions. The Social conservatives are all wetting themselves with thoughts that finally sins can be legislated against. It always starts slow with one issue and then the crusade to ban other sins goes straight to the brain washed brains of the voters. The fights for when life begins is all over the internet. Now the Evangelicals are demanding that the House and Senate decide for all of us that life begins at conception.
Women are the victims in this and we saw many prior to R v W who took a chance with a coathanger rather than 17 years of raising an unwanted child. It must be difficult for a Christian man to understand what a single mother goes through. Forcing an unwanted child is the perfect fine for 5 minutes of a sexual mistake. I won't even call it love. There was no reason that abortions must be banned because a bunch of hypocrits says so. 17 years is a terrible price to pay for sex but many are encouraged to push it in our government. So instead we live with babies locked in hot cars, or buried in the yard, or sold to some pervert for sexual activities. We had a two year old boy buried alive by his mother's boyfriend in Pismo Beach last week.
Americans are not culturally prepared to make women pay for their sins when the men are part of the sin. Christians believe sex is dirty and of course it makes it more interesting even to the Priests. We had the abortion issue fixed when the hospitals were prepared to offer the morning after pill to all rape victims but the Churches forced the Senate to stop the procedure. If we allowed the morning after pill to be sold over the counter in all cities, there would be no need for abortions until some jerk like Bush says it is murder. So we have to face the fact that our babies are being beaten nearly to death just for being born. I worked for an infant Hospice and those babies died at the hands of their parents.
Killing is so much a part of our culture that our kids think nothing of killing a baby. Babies should be born to people who love them but America wastes no time loving anything but cell phones and horror films.
What do you love Flapsaddle outside of finding fault with other's posts?
There's a reason they call this a wedge issue. There's also a reason why we hear the same rhetoric every four years, and why nothing is ever done to advance the policies. So we can get all crazy about it again in another four years. It's all for your rabid consumption.
Yes. Wedge issues like abortion and gun control to keep the people all worked up and ignoring the trillions being stolen from us by the financial elite and the gradual implementation of a police state.
Actually life begins before conception. Female eggs and male sperm are LIVING HUMAN CELLS. Any man who gets caught masturbating needs to be charged with felony premeditated murder. Same for any woman having a period; she should have become pregnant and not allowed that egg to be expelled by her body. We are all felons. Shoot us.
— Kent Shaw
LOL, so a nose bleed is also abortion. Those are live cells you are spraying all over that tissue. How about a hang nail? Maybe using a luffa since you exfoliate some live cells with the dead? Great point.
Hang on to your sperm Kent as I have guarded my eggs with a vengeance for many years to protect them from a meet up with those squiggly bullets. I am guilty as charged! But I reached the safety zone and can breathe again knowing my eggs are no longer available. I never once felt guilty during my period. Quite the contrary, I celebrated the fact!

Nigel Slater's Plum Crumble
The whole nesting thing doesn't come easy to me. Home-cooked meals, I can do, but there isn't going to be a table setting. Two weeks ago, there wasn't even a table.
This is why I just make breakfast here. Picking out furniture, housewares, planning where they go, what they do — I pretty much fail at all other domesticity.
Maybe it's all the moving in and out of jobs, apartments, storage units, and parents' houses that came before this. If it didn't feel like camping, it didn't feel like home.
But it's also been fun, trying to sit still here for a moment. Especially now that we have a real dining table. It only took us a year to get it, and there are no real chairs to go with it yet, but I already want to keep it forever.
I'm hoping the rest comes together like this favorite plum crumble of mine. A little messy at first, but it bakes up beautifully.
And if you have any nest-building advice for me, you can have seconds.
Plum Crumble
(adapted from Nigel Slater in The Guardian)
Makes 6-8 servings.
150 g (1 1/4c.) flour (I used whole wheat pastry flour)
80 g (6 TB) butter
50 g (1/2 c.) ground almonds
70 g (1/4 c. + 2 TB) demerara or turbinado sugar
75 g (1/2 c.) rolled oats
650 g / about 8-10 small plums
4 TB sugar (more if you want the plums less tart)
a knob of butter
Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles a coarse meal. Stir in the almonds, sugar, and oats. Stick this in the fridge or freezer while you prepare the plums.
Preheat the oven to 200ºC/375ºF. Stone and quarter the plums. Place them in baking dish and toss with sugar and butter. Spoon on the topping and bake until crisp, golden, and bubbly, about 30-35 minutes.
Serve warm, perhaps with some Greek yogurt ice cream (recipe coming soon).

Club Velocity April
April's Club Velocity at Rising Sun Arts Centre has Tom Williams and the Boat, Peers and Dylan-Louise, this is what Velocity have to say about the gig...
Tom Williams and the Boat
Huge talent alert! Tom and his boat are back at their favourite Reading venue.Since the first time Tom played for Club Velocity he has gone from strength to strength. He played Glastonbury year not just once, but four times last year. He also played Latitude and Hop on the Farm.
Earlier this year the band released their debut album Too Slow to much critical acclaim including BBC 6 Music and Radio 4 Loose Ends. It is our fave debut album of 2011.
He has now found radio heavyweights (Steve Lamacq/Huw Stephens/Huey Morgan) really championing him and his band. Think Bob Dylan/Bruce Springsteen/Billy Bragg. A truly amazing artist. Trust us on this one.
They hail from Reading and they played their debut gig for Club Velocity in Janaury 2010. Since then the teenage four piece have gone from strength to strength. They were invited by the BBC to play Reading/Leeds festival 2010, were played on Radio 1 and gained management who have the likes of Ashand Chapel Club on their books. They deal in 'noise pop' but these kids have legs and seriously can go places.
Played her debut show at Silver Street in August 2010 and she has not looked back. Only 19 years old, half American studying at Goldsmiths in London. Dylan-Louise has a voice of an angel and the lungs of a giant.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Remember when Jeffrey Kaplan held Loch Modan up as an example of poor questing architecture? Blizzard now has the opportunity to apply more than five years of trial, error, success and failure.
Imagine leveling 1-58 with the combined efficiency and satisfaction of the best Northrend has to offer — that's our reward if Blizzard is serious about "reforging" Azeroth.
I honestly doubt they will speed up the leveling from 1-60. They are revamping old Azeroth not just for people at the level cap, but also for the new levelers. I think the idea is that they want to make leveling new characters fun and different again. It would defeat the purpose to go to all that work and then make it easy to speed through the new content without getting a chance to really appreciate it.
Speeding through the content is different from being able to level quickly.
You will not appreciate most of it unless you yourself take the time to read the quests and understand what is going on. This is maybe 10% of the WoW population. Thanks to Blizzard's trial and error, 1-60 WILL go faster simply because they now know how to build efficient questing structures. The lore behind them will be as it always has been - outstanding.


text: When her soul touched mine, I was lost. In a world where we are taught to live solely for ourselves, our well-being, and our own happiness, the concept of unity, of one, was something far beyond my understanding. To think that someone can share their experiences and hardships, their loves and their joys, with you as if they were your own… As I said, I was lost. It wasn't love that I felt for her, because that raw emotion was still reserved for me. Nevertheless, something deeper arose from our connection. Something without name that sought much more than our two united souls could offer. It offered a chance to become more, to touch the next man and connect with him, to touch the next girl and become a part of her as she becomes a part of you. We live in a world that for too long has remained separate, desperate, selfish, and unopposed by anything remotely better. She, and I, are that remote chance. She and I are the glimmer of change that can reign in a new era. And woe to anyone who would dare obstruct our vision. For they are alone. And we are one.

As of Friday, June 1, 2012

CONYERS — Five people — the driver and four passengers — were injured in a one-car accident Friday morning on Interstate 20 westbound between the West Avenue and Sigman Road exits. The accident occurred shortly before 11 a.m.
According to the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office, four people were taken to Atlanta area hospitals by ground ambulance; one was taken by helicopter. The driver of the car was a woman believed to be in her 40s; the other passengers were youngsters ranging in age from about 6 to 17. Although initial reports indicated that two passengers were ejected from the vehicle, later reports could not confirm that, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Preliminary information indicated that the vehicle ran off the road and into an embankment, causing it to overturn.
All lanes of I-20 westbound were closed for about 15 minutes while a helicopter landed to pick up the youngest victim for transport to Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. One other victim was taken to Egleston by ground ambulance; the other three were transported to Grady Hospital by ambulance.

Roanoke County continues to examine ways to improve water quality and provide affordable levels of stormwater service. This week, the county's Stormwater Advisory Committee (SWAC) recommended ways to fund stormwater cleanup.
County leaders hope to establish a revenue stream to help reduce bacteria levels in local waterways.
"Who is going to pay for improved stormwater management and how is that going to be equitable" said Tarek Moneir, Deputy Director of Development Services.
Over the past several months, county leaders have worked with the public to come up with ways to fix the higher levels of bacteria caused by stormwater runoff. As a result, officials came up with several recommendations for funding.
"One could be a straight property tax" said Moneir. "So everyone who owns property in Roanoke County which would raise taxes on everyone."
Elected officials could also choose to establish storm districts which allow certain properties, such as non-profit organizations, to avoid additional costs. Other options include stormwater utility fees similar to the plan adopted by Roanoke City.
Moneir said that plan is based on impervious areas which would mean the larger the property the more the property owner would have to pay. County leaders also plan to consider a utility fee rate structure.
The SWAC will make a recommendation to the Roanoke County Board of supervisors. In order to meet guideline, a plan to improve stormwater management must be in play by July 2014.

Funny things patients say ! - page 12
by TAM 200,043 Views | 298 Comments
While working in the emergency room I was taking care of a 90 year old lady who came in by wheelchair from a local rest home. Her complaint was right leg swelling and we found an obvious deformity of the femur but she denied any... Read More
- 14May 1, '11 by Jenni811We had a patient on our unit who had dementia and was from a LTC facility. she was the cutest little old lady. She would constantly push her call light, when anyone would answer we would ask what she needed and she would reply "what do you mean?"..."You have your call light on. Do you need something?"...."Oh, no dear. I didnt mean to do that"
Well when iasnwerd the light i started running through things she might need (Light was on maybe every 5 minutes). i asked "Do you need to use the bathroom?"..."Bathroom? what do you do with a bathroom?"...."Do you need to pee?"...."Oh no dear. I don't pee, i never have and i never will."...i walk out of the room and her call light instantly goes back on, i walk back in. she says "Maybe i do have to pee. I guess there is a first time for everything"
made me chuckle cause this lady is in her 80's and clearly its not her first time peeing.
- 15May 1, '11 by Jenni811Had to give a tap water enema after the previous nurse did (so i was the 2nd one doing it). Apparently my water was warmer than the other nurse. The patients wife was there and i walk in the room and the patient says "This is the hot nurse i was telling you about." There is this long awkward pause and the patient goes "Oh jeez. you know what i mean!" It was the joke of the day :-D
- 5May 1, '11 by Turd Ferguson"I been vomickin and doozin all day"
- 0May 2, '11 by No Stars In My EyesHEY Turd Ferguson, you need to go over to the thread where everyone is explaining how/ why they came to use the on-line sign-in name; my enquiring mind wants to know!
- 9May 3, '11 by Jenni811Just had one today that cracked me up! :-D
My patient was on clear liquid diet- advance as tolerated. So he tries orange jello and beef broth for his first round of food. i walk in the room to see how the "food" is staying down. I see him dipping orange jello in his cup of beef broth. I asked him what he was doing he stated "If you close your eyes and concentrate really hard it is kinda like dipping a really soft tender steak into some beef aju"
what an imagination...
- 13May 19, '11 by AeternaI was working a night shift and caring for an older man. His daughter was staying the night to ensure he was comfortable and to assist in his care, as well as to act as a translator (as the patient's primary language was not English).
One night, he was particularly restless and his daughter was getting a bit frustrated at constantly having to reposition him throughout the night. His room's call light went off so I went to answer.
Daughter: He's saying there's a pain in his ass.
Me: (repeating her words) A pain in the ass?
Daughter: Yes, he's a pain in the ass!
I hadn't realized what repeating her words would sound like, but we had a good laugh over it before setting to work to help reposition her father xD
- 3May 21, '11 by Jenni811had a patient come in with various cardiac issues. (Med/surg tele unit) and hes states he takes his blood pressure at home and writes them down.
"Great!" i said "Do you have this with you?"
"No, i forgot it at home but i remember my most recent blood pressure"
"What was it?"
"121/119? are you sure?"
...everytime i kept getting diast. blood pressure in the 70s or 80s he would demand a "second opinion" on his blood pressure because he was dead set on his blood pressure being 121/119.
I still today have no idea what it really was, but clearly it wasnt that.
- 16May 22, '11 by Daisy_08Ok, this one was me. I was have an operation a fews years back. Just before going in to the OR, I think he was a med student, was doing my final pre-op check. When he asked me what type of operation I was having I said sex change. His eyes went to the size of grape fruits and he started frantically going through my chart, when my mom and I burst out laughing he looked up and sighed. I still laugh thinking about the poor guy .
- 2May 22, '11 by Hygiene Queen GuideQuote from No Stars In My EyesDoesn't it feel good to laugh like that?" But I'll have to wear an ascot for the rest of my life!" After a brief moment of silence while everybody processed that image, we all broke out in howling laughter, screaming-hysterically until tears ran down our faces and our cheeks and stomachs protested by cramping.
That's hilarious!
- 6Jun 2, '11 by calinurse11While I was passing meds a patient asked me if the doctor had prescribed that medication for him....um no sir, we had some extra from next door and we didnt want to waste it

These days, everything needs to have more than one purpose. Our cell phones double as date books and mini-computers for access to our emails, our televisions sets now have the ability to become a fully-stocked video rental shop, and even our refrigerators can come with digital calendars and photo albums. With all of our technology expanding their range of use, it seemed only natural for industrial designer, Amadou Ndiaye, from Montreal, Canada to come up with a Bugatti concept that served its own dual purpose as well.
The Bugatti Altess Concept is more than just a car; it's actually two cars in one. The first variation of the vehicle is a fully enclosed grand tourer that, with a few adjustments, can be transformed into a hardcore gentleman's racer where the driver and passenger sit in the open air with only a small windscreen for protection. This transformation is achieved by removing the hood, roof, windows, and rear quarter panels and replacing them with a lightweight single-piece panel that allows to the sun to stream right in. A discreet spine bisects the car to keep it intact during the removal and addition of parts. The design for the concept was inspired by the 1930s Bugatti Atlantic , which was considered the most beautiful pre-war vehicle.
The process for transformation is kind of cool, as is having both a coupe and a roadster in one model, but as for seeing it in production form, that's just not going to happen.

Really good flavor and will make again. I could not find just chanterelle or crimini mushrooms so I used 8 oz. sliced gourmet mushrooms along with 8 oz. sliced white mushrooms but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I really liked the smokiness of the mushrooms with the flavor of the sweet potato.
Wild Mushroom-and-Sweet Potato Gratin
Becky Luigart-Stayner; Lydia DeGaris-Pursell
Chanterelle mushrooms and fontina cheese contribute a delicate, nutty flavor that contrasts nicely with sweet potatoes in this dish. Serve this casserole with roasted pork loin or ham.

"I want to suggest a word that might well encapsulate virtually anything we would want to say about the Church and its characteristics. It is the word 'giving'. The Church as an organism that is characterised by its giving nature; its people who are characterised by being giving people. This is very much a Gospel precept – Matthew Chapter 10, with that powerful phrase of Our Lord, 'Freely you have received, freely give'. We receive grace; we have no option but to respond to the world with an uncalculating and unselfconscious generosity."
In Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, a little over a week ago, the General Synod of the Church of Ireland convened where, among the proceedings, they met to discuss the fleshandblood campaign. The Rev Adrian Dorrian of Dundela proposed a motion that the Church become an associate of the campaign, encourage the principles of the campaign on an all-Ireland basis and encourage similar uptake among other Christian traditions in Ireland.

Detroit, MI (WKZO) – Tuesday night was not Matt Moore's day. Moore entered Tuesday with a perfect 8-0 record and the third lowest ERA in the AL at 2.18 He left Tuesday's game with his first loss and an ERA that jumped to 2.95 after tossing only two innings while giving up six runs – all earned – on seven hits while walking six and only striking out one, as the Tigers rolled over the Tampa Bay Rays 10-1 in the series opener at Comerica Park.
The Tigers offense scored four in the second and two in the third off Moore and that was more than enough for Anibal Sanchez. Sanchez was excellent in seven innings of work, only allowing a single run, on four hits while striking out nine Rays for his sixth win of the year.
Prince Fielder carried the Tigers offense driving in four runs on three hits including a solo shot in the eighth inning, his 12th home run, for the Tigers ninth run. Earlier, Fielder capped off the Tigers four run second inning with a two run single scoring Avisail Garcia and Torii Hunter.
Moore exited the game in the third before recording an out. He gave up a double to Jhonny Peralta then walked Matt Tuiasosopo and Brayan Pena to load the bases. Moore then gave up a single to Garcia scoring a run and then walking Omar Infante for the Tigers sixth run of the game. Infante drove in three runs as well and belted his fourth home run of the year off Jeff Farnsworth, a solo shot, increasing the Tigers lead to 7-1.
Luke Putkonen and Phil Coke pitched a scoreless eighth and ninth innings, respectively.
Tigers Highlights:
*Matt Tuiasosopo got the scoring going during the Tigers four run second inning, after his double drove in Jhonny Peralta from first after Peralta singled to open the inning. Tuiasososopo then scored the Tigers second run on a sac fly from Omar Infante.
*After Ben Zorbist singled off Sanchez to start the sixth, Kelly Johnson followed by grounding to Infante at second starting a 4-6-3 double play.
*Prince Fielder drove in his third run of the game in sixth inning on a sac fly scoring Cabrera from third. Cabrera singled to open the bottom of the sixth and then advanced two bases on a wild pitch from Cesar Ramos. Cabrera's run was the eighth for the Tigers and his 45th on the year to lead to the AL.
*Don Kelly drove in the Tigers 10th run in the eighth in on a single off Jamey Wright scoring Martinez from third.
*Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder each singled with two outs in the first inning, but Victor Martinez flied out to left stranding both runners.
*The Rays scored their only run of the game in the second on a one out sac fly from Desmond Jennings scoring Evan Longoria from third who tripled to deep right to start the inning.
*After Matt Moore was pulled in the second inning, Alex Torres entered the game with no outs and bases loaded and got Torii Hunter to ground into a fielder's choice and struck out Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder without allowing any more runs to score.
Game Notes: Former Tiger Quintin Berry was picked up by the Kansas City Royals after being placed on waivers by Detroit...Prince Fielder's home run was his third in as many games...The Tigers are now 18-9 at Comerica Park in 2013…Tigers are now hold a two game lead over the Cleveland Indians for first place in the AL Central…Doug Fister (5-2, 3.28 ERA) is the scheduled starter for Wednesday's game against Rays righty Alex Cobb (6-2, 2.66). Fister is 4-1 at Comerica Park in 2013, while Cobb ranks eighth in the AL in ERA after missing his last start with a finger injury.

Area residents also played a role in the store's construction. Thirteen southern Illinois firms employing local building craftspersons built the new supercenter.
"We've received a very warm welcome from the Carbondale community -- from city officials and local residents to local employment agencies, high schools and the university. We are opening our store with associates who express the friendliness that's always been part of our success in meeting the needs of our customers," said Craig D. Schnuck, chairman and chief executive officer of Schnucks. "We hope to return the warm welcome we've been given by being the kind of supermarket where our customers can find everything they need, when they need it at a good price. With our new store being built and staffed by Carbondale residents, our customers are gaining a store they can be proud to call their own."
According to Schnuck, Carbondale's inclusion of the site in its Enterprise Zone helped make the redevelopment project possible. "Carbondale Mayor Neil Dillard, City Manager Jeff Doherty, Director of Development Services Tom Redmond, and their staffs, were very helpful throughout our planning and development," Schnuck credited. "The Illinois Department of Transportation's willingness to swap land along Oakland for property along Walnut enabled us to place our new Schnucks on this site and allowed some needed road improvements on Oakland."
Other store features include full-service meat, seafood and deli departments, floral with wire service, bulk foods, video, health and beauty care and general merchandise departments. An in-store bank branch will be opened by First National Bank and Trust Co. in the fall. Cellular phones and pagers will be offered as well. "The exceptional quality of our perishable departments and the broad product variety throughout our store will surprise a lot of people," said Tom Eakins, Carbondale store manager. "We think our customers will be delighted particularly by the variety, value and quality in our fresh produce, deli, meat, seafood and dairy departments as well as our various specialty departments."
A professional pharmacy also enhances customer convenience. The store's pharmacy will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. It is among the 78 pharmacies operated by Schnucks in four states. Schnucks honors most major insurance programs, including Health Alliance, Group Health Plan and PCS.
Including its new Carbondale location, Schnucks operates 94 stores in Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and Indiana, including 73 stores in metro St. Louis. The family-owned company was founded in St. Louis in 1939.

Drake Opens Up About Chris Brown Feud
Drake is featured in the latest issue of GQ magazine where he opened up about his careers, his lovers and his enemies.
The Young Money rapper spoke about his ongoing feud with Chris Brown over Rihanna saying that he wished they could sit down like grown men and figure this out. The Canadian crooner explained:
"I don't want my name to be synonymous with that guy's name. I really don't. I wish we could sit down, just like you and me are right now, and talk it out man-to-man. But that's not going to happen. I'm not confrontational, but if someone challenges, I'm not going to back down. … It's embarrassing, the amount of media coverage. Two rappers fighting over the woman. He's not even a rapper, but still, it's the last way you want your name out there. It distracts from the music. But he's made me the enemy, and that's the way it's gonna stay, I guess. … If I think about it too much, I feel it wrapping around my foot, like I get a feeling it could end really badly."
He also talked about a meeting he had with Will Smith and shared some of the advice that the actor gave him on love:
"I had lunch the other day with someone I extremely look up to. Okay—I had lunch with Will Smith, and listening to him talk, it made me think I don't know what love is. He said something profound. He said love is when you become one and you need that person. It's not about wanting anymore, you need that person. Hearing that, I don't know if I've ever felt that way. I've held women in very high regard almost to the point where I felt like I needed them for a very long time, but I don't know if I comprehend it yet, and I'm okay with that. I've made a lot of music about love being the only thing I'm missing. I think this is the first album I've made saying, I'm okay. I'm enjoying it right now. Maybe this is my time to grind it out, make a run for it and add some memories with my boys."
The artist is currently working on his new album entitled "Nothing Was the Same."

9 Online Breastfeeding Resources
Breastfeeding can be overwhelming at times. Here are 9 great online resources to help the breastfeeding momma.
9 Online Breastfeeding Resources
Click through to check out 9 great online breastfeeding resources for the breastfeeding momma!
I first learned about KellyMom when I was nursing my first daughter. This site has lots of straightforward information on all you'll need to know about breastfeeding and any questions you might have. Information provided is all based on proven evidence and articles are always provided to back up all Kelly recommends. She's also a certified lactation consultant. This is one of the first places I go when I've got a question about breastfeeding and baby.
Ask Dr. Sears
I've been drawn to Dr. Sears ever since I got the big Baby Book as a gift when I was pregnant with my first daughter. What I appreciate about Ask Dr. Sears, is that a lot of information is presented pretty straight forward and in terms anyone can easily understand.
American Academy of Pediatrics
On the American Academy of Pediatrics Breastfeeding page, you can find breastfeeding webinars plus the latest most recent recommendations about breastfeeding and research findings. They also are great about pointing breastfeeding moms in the right direction when it comes to how laws support the breastfeeding mom.
On the CDC's breastfeeding page, you can find lots of downloadable PDF's with supportive information for the breastfeeding mom. In addition, you can easily access their most recent studies done around breastfeeding, including their Breastfeeding Report Card with information about trends of breastfeeding in your state, as well as general information about the US and breastfeeding practices.
World Health Organization
The World Health Organization's breastfeeding page provides lots of support around breastfeeding and the family. It's also a great place to find breastfeeding statistics around feeding your baby.
Women's Health
Womenshealth.gov is a great overall resource for the breastfeeding mom from how to get started breastfeeding to pumping and storing breast milk. It's also a great place to find the latest in government actions that support the breastfeeding momma.
La Leche League
La Leche League has been providing support to breastfeeding moms for years and years! They are a great place to find research based evidence with the most recent recommendations surrounding breast feeding. In addition, they have forums where breastfeeding mommas can chat and commiserate, and ultimately support each other, which is such a big part of what La Leche League aspires to do. So if you can't get to a LLL meeting near you, this is a great alternative to have support at your finger tips from real live people!
Unitied States Breastfeeding Committee
The United States Breastfeeding Committee was formed in 1998 after a declaration that all nations should have a national committee supporting breastfeeding with government and health professionals. They have over 40 organizations on board supporting the US's efforts in doing so, which makes their site a wealth of knowledge for any breastfeeding momma. They are also gearing up to hold the fifth national breastfeeding coalition conference in August.
LactMed is a great resource if you have any questions about how medications may impact breastfeeding. You simply type in a medication and search for the most up to date and researched information is provided to you.

Limited to 3,000 runners total -- 1,500 in the half marathon and 750 each in the 10K and 5K -- the race will follow an out-and-back course that starts and finishes in the Raleigh neighborhood known as North Hills, at the shopping center at the intersection of Lassiter Mill Road and Currituck Drive. From there, runners in the half marathon set out on a course that takes them first south along Lassiter Mill Road and then east onto the Crabtree Creek Greenway, a nearly 11-mile-long trail that winds along the creek from which it takes its name.
The trail is part of a system of trails known as the Raleigh Greenway System, which is expected to grow to more than 100 miles of trails throughout this part of the state in the next few years.
For now, the Crabtree Creek Greenway trail features paved, flat surfaces throughout, stretching mostly within the Raleigh beltline between New Bern Avenue at its southeastern end and Lindsay Drive at its northwestern end, taking runners through a combination of neighborhoods and off-the-beaten-path parks and forests, including a stretch of boardwalk through wetlands.
Runners will make their way northwest along the greenway trail for the next 5 1/2 miles, all the way to the race turnaround point, which lies just before runners reach Milburnie Road and the end of the Crabtree Creek Greenway. From there, the course heads back along the route runners have just run, all the way back along the trail to the race finish line back at the shopping center at Lassiter Mill and Currituck Drive.
The scheduled starting time for the race is 7:00 AM and the half marathon is open to walkers as well as runners, provided they can finish 13.1 miles within the race's 3 1/2-hour course time limit.

Yeah,those recorded screams sound just like that. I have heard that sort of scream on occasion in the woods here in WV. While I have never seen anything...I have heard brush breaking and heard dogs absolutely go nuts after hearing those screams! I can only tell you that if you ever hear that scream in the wild where the decibal level is proper..it will put goosebumps on your flesh! Just something about that siren-sounding wail that is both lonely and scary! One of the weirdest feelings that I have ever experienced in my 40 years on this earth. I think they are becoming extinct and if we dont get proof in the next 5-8 years,I think we may never catch or see one alive. i believe that during the late 60's and early 70's they were thriving in the woods of northwestern U.S and British Columbia,however,with the constant invasion by man..their ranks have thinned and they have been forced to migrate to the east and south. Still,the majority are in California,Oregon and Washington,but i do believe that there may be a few in WV,Ohio and the swamplands of a few southern states and scattered here and there throughout the midwest. I believe that in the 70's there may have been as many as 2-3 thousand. I think that number may be 3-5 hundred now.
